Chapter 86 Dismissal and Demotion Concubine
Shu Gui sobbed softly. Hearing this, she looked up at Nanny Yu.
She cried, "Nanny Yu is really so hard-hearted. Ying'an is like this, but you still refuse to tell the truth. You keep saying that you only used tranquilizing incense on Ying'an. Your Majesty, our child is only a two-month-old baby! I'm afraid Nanny Yu used tranquilizing incense to calm Ying'an down, used laxatives to lure Nanny Xiang away, and then waited for an opportunity to attack Ying'an. Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for me and Ying'an!"
Her weak and pale face, coupled with the fact that she had just given birth, made Emperor Qingling feel pity.
He actually shed a few tears.
The empress, who was watching from the side, was shocked and frowned at the scene.
After being married into the royal family for several years, she didn't know that the emperor would cry.
That gentle, loving look had never appeared on her before.
He really loved Concubine Shu Gui!
Emperor Qing Ling said with concern: "As long as I am here, I will definitely protect you and our child!"
Concubine Shu Gui nestled in his arms, saying nothing, but crying even harder.
Every cry and every tear made Nanny Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, tremble.
This was the first time she saw the ability of this Concubine Shu Gui, it was really amazing!
Emperor Qingling said coldly: "Wei Weiran!"
Wei Weiran stepped forward: "I'm here."
"Drag Nanny Yu to the Ministry of Punishment and torture her strictly. Make sure to pry out the truth."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, Wei Weiran waved his hand, and two eunuchs came in from outside, holding Nanny Yu and walking out.
Nanny Yu was terrified.
In this palace, everyone knows the Ministry of Punishment.
If anyone enters the Ministry of Punishment, he will be skinned alive if he doesn't die.
It is said that a maid of a nobleman committed a crime before, and was dragged into the Ministry of Punishment and tortured strictly for three days. After coming out, she went crazy.
Nanny Yu shouted: "Empress, Empress... Please save me... I watched you grow up and am the closest person to you... Empress... Help me..."
Her voice faded away.
The room was also quiet.
The Queen took half a step forward, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Emperor Qingling looked up at her: "Are you going to plead for Yu Mama?"
The Queen hurriedly said: "No, Your Majesty, Yu Mama has done such a treasonous thing, and I should discipline her. I am very frightened to trouble Your Majesty to do it. The palace rules are strict. As the mother of a country, I should set a good example. This matter is entirely up to Your Majesty."
Emperor Qingling sneered: "Your Majesty knows it, your mother said to let you go. "I will let him off this time, but the assassination of Prince Heng to me and Consort Shugui must not go unpunished. Considering that he is my uncle, I will give him a lighter sentence and demote him to Prince Heng and remove him from his post as the governor of the capital. From now on, he only needs to do his job as Prince Heng. As long as I am here, he will have wealth and glory in his life."
Every word he said was rubbing salt into the wound of the empress.
Demoting Prince Heng would completely lower the status of Wu Ya in the capital. From now on, let alone marriage, even at gatherings and banquets, I am afraid they can only make friends with the second-class families in the capital.
This must be a big blow to Wu Ya in the future.
The empress looked at the face of Emperor Qingling and suppressed the words of pleading in her heart.
The emperor is angry now. If he pleads again, he will probably protect Concubine Shugui and her daughter even more.
Anyway, with the Empress Dowager, the fate of Wuya will never end.
The queen knelt down to thank her: "I thank the emperor for his grace on behalf of my father." Emperor
Qingling waved his hands and said impatiently: "You should go back to the palace to rest first. The concubines will be in good condition when they go to pay their respects tomorrow."
The queen knew that the emperor was comforting her.
She lowered her eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After the queen left, Concubine Shugui fell asleep in Emperor Qingling's arms. Her breathing was very shallow and her brows were tightly knitted, as if she was in a nightmare.
Emperor Qingling raised his hand involuntarily, smoothed her frown, and said in a gentle voice: "Yao He, how much do you want me to owe you?"
She had just had a miscarriage, and Ying An was poisoned because of the harem struggle.
She must have been very tired, so she fell asleep before the imperial doctors Zhao and Lin came.
Emperor Qingling personally carried Concubine Shugui to the bed, walked to the courtyard, and said coldly: "Where are Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Lin!"
Wei Weiran hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, someone just reported that Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Lin fainted in the prison for unknown reasons!"
Emperor Qingling thought for a moment and frowned: "Who on earth is it! They actually reached their hands into the prison. It's clear that they don't take me seriously! Wei Xin!"
Wei Xin stepped forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty."
"Bring your torture instruments, no matter what, you must wake up Imperial Physician Zhao and Imperial Physician Lin for me!"
As soon as the words fell, Imperial Physician Ma rushed out of the hall, and because he was too anxious, he stumbled at the feet of Emperor Qingling.
He knelt down and pointed at the hall in horror, saying, "Your Majesty...Princess Zhixin..."
Emperor Qingling's heart was in his throat, and he immediately walked towards the hall.
Doctor Ma had just finished speaking the following words: "The princess...is awake..."
Emperor Qingling's hand that was about to lift the curtain stopped, his face full of joy, and he hurried into the house. Seeing Ying'an lying on the couch, looking at him with big eyes, his tears flowed excitedly.
He stepped forward and was about to pick up Ying'an, but was stopped by the doctor.
"Your Majesty, don't touch the princess easily. The princess has just woken up, and we don't know how she will react. If the root of the disease is triggered again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save her."
The next moment, Ying'an's voice rang in Emperor Qingling's ears.
[Quack! The effect of the Qi-blocking pill has worn off. This princess has nothing to do now. She just wants to find the little palace maid who gave me the herbal medicine!
Emperor Qingling frowned.
Little palace maid!
Not Nanny Yu.
He said in a deep voice: "Guangling Palace is fine. You all can go out. Doctor Ma will stay and boil medicine for Concubine Shugui before leaving."
The doctors looked at each other, but since the emperor had spoken, they did not dare to say anything more, so they took the reward and left Guangling Palace.
"You said, the princess had clearly died just now, how come she is alive again?"
"It is rare for someone to survive after eating intestinal stagnation grass, not to mention that the princess is just a two-month-old baby. This is too strange. It seems that your and my medical skills are not good enough. We need to read more medical books when we go back."
"The princess's illness is strange, and her recovery is also strange. I am afraid this is not something we can control. In the future, we must be more careful in what we say and do in the harem."
"In this harem, besides the queen, who else dares to attack the princess?"
"Who? You must have forgotten that there are two princes in the palace. Although the mother of one of them died, the other one still has both mother and son. Although her family is in decline, the intricate relationship between them still exists. How could she tolerate the existence of such a powerful mother and daughter in the harem?"
"You are talking about... Wen, who was harmed by the late emperor's literary inquisition!"
"Wen is the biological mother of the second prince. Although her family was caught in trouble, she was saved. After our emperor succeeded to the throne, she followed him into the palace and is now imprisoned in Shuyuzhai!"
