Chapter 144 Su died
Soon, Xuan Mo knelt in Changqing Palace and replied.
"Your Majesty, the deposed Consort Su of the You Palace has passed away. She died of excessive blood loss. Besides the wound on her forehead, she had thirty-four scars on her body. The guards saw Zheng Baolin emerging from the You Palace covered in blood. Zheng Baolin has confessed to stabbing Su."
Upon hearing this, Fu Wanquan looked at his nose and tugged at the corner of his sleeve.
He is indeed a tough guy.
Xiao Chenglan said calmly, "Give me the medicine."
Last time, regarding Xu Nian Ya's incident, he didn't bother with her because she had accidentally helped Jiang Yingli get revenge.
Once the Su family incident is over and her revenge is done, he will not let this kind of person with such a cruel heart have the slightest chance to get close to Jiang Yingli.
In Cuiwei Pavilion, Zheng Baolin was still sitting upright in the middle of the room wearing his blood-stained clothes.
She waited for her own judgment, her heart was very calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of her lips.
As she expected, at nightfall, a nanny brought her a bowl of medicine.
The nanny didn't say anything, and Zheng Baolin knew that there was no need to say anything. She didn't hesitate at all and drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp.
If there is an afterlife, she wants to be someone like Su Qingrong.
Death is inevitable, so she would rather have been a shining pearl than stay in the corner, peeping at the brilliance of others.
The news of Su's death spread quietly in the palace.
After hearing this, everyone sighed in unison.
The Su family committed a heinous crime. She abused her power to bully others in the palace. Now she is dead. It is what she deserves, but in the final analysis, she has lost a life. Everyone looked at the overwhelming snow outside and felt a little heavy.
Song Wanyan was in a much happier mood than others, after all, the Su family had fallen.
If the Su family falls, the other families will look down on the Xue family. It will be impossible for the Xue family to regain its previous status.
Half of the sand in the aristocratic family has been scattered.
No wonder my grandfather said that this emperor should not be underestimated, and instructed all the officials in the Song family to keep a low profile.
My grandfather still has a unique vision.
Thinking of this, Song Wanyan sighed deeply.
Hanlu asked, "What's wrong, Madam? What's not going well?"
"There are so many things that haven't gone well for me. For example, I was under house arrest the day Su Qingrong got into trouble, so I didn't get to see the fun. Another example is when Su Qingrong tricked me with the engagement, and before I could personally avenge her, she passed away."
Hanlu rubbed Song Wanyan's shoulders and comforted her, "Don't be sad, Your Majesty. When our confinement is lifted, we can just call a concubine to come and perform the scene vividly for Your Majesty."
"That's a good idea." Song Wanyan nodded, then sighed, "That's the bad thing about the palace. Even when an enemy dies, we can't celebrate with drums and gongs or firecrackers."
**
At the You Palace, Fu Wanquan kept an eye on it all the time to make sure no news leaked out.
After all, it's a pretty scary thing to say.
I am afraid that some people will learn Zheng Baolin's attitude of not making a sound but making a stunning debut.
Wouldn’t that be a mess?
When the news of Cuiwei Pavilion reached Zhaohua Palace, Jiang Yingli was still arranging the matter of giving everyone titles.
After hearing Lian Qiao's whisper, she stood up immediately with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.
"How could this happen? Didn't she come to my place this morning to give me a gift? I even talked to her for quite a while, and she seemed very happy. There was nothing unusual about her."
Lian Qiao sighed slightly: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are always sudden events."
Jiang Yingli looked at the painting of a flying phoenix in the hall, and an indescribable sadness rose in her heart: "I want to take a look."
"Your Majesty, it's already night. It's snowing heavily today, and the road is difficult to walk on. Cuiwei Pavilion is far away. You'd better take your time and go tomorrow." Qiuxia advised.
"No, I'm going right away."
Qiuxia didn't say anything more and went to get the thick silver fox fur cloak and hand warmer to Jiang Yingli.
"This servant and Lianqiao will follow the Majesty."
Jiang Yingli hurried to the door and saw a row of bright palace lanterns coming into the palace from afar.
"Your Majesty?" Jiang Yingli was slightly stunned.
Xiao Chenglan knew where Jiang Yingli was going without having to guess, and he looked at her carefully.
She wore her cloak and scarf properly, and did not neglect herself out of impatience.
"Your Majesty, I am going to Cuiwei Pavilion."
Jiang Yingli took two or three steps towards Xiao Chenglan. Xiao Chenglan's steps were longer than hers, and he was in front of her in an instant.
"It's snowing so hard, you can't go anywhere."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yingli's request was not approved.
She was also shocked and said blankly: "Your Majesty actually rejected my request? But, but I am such a grown-up, how could I fall?"
Xiao Chenglan remained unmoved: "I came back so early today just to prevent you from going out alone again. Whether you go to Changqing Palace to look for me or to see someone else, you are not allowed to do so."
Jiang Yingli was completely depressed. "Your Majesty, I am in charge of the affairs of the palace. If Zheng Baolin is in trouble, how can I not go to visit him?"
"She has something to do. I've already checked it out. You can go again tomorrow." Xiao Chenglan's tone remained unquestionable.
Jiang Yingli leaned towards him unwillingly, clinging to him like a boneless person, looking up at him: "If I don't go and check it out, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."
Xiao Chenglan lowered his eyes, stared at her for a moment, and sighed slightly.
"I'll go with you."
"I knew it, Your Majesty is the best." Jiang Yingli quickly pulled Xiao Chenglan up and walked out.
Eunuch Fu hurried to tell the emperor to carry the child away.
Xiao Chenglan looked at Jiang Yingli with a concerned look on his face and felt annoyed.
If I had known this earlier, I would have ended it all.
There was no one in front of Cuiwei Pavilion, and the two gauze lanterns in front of the palace gate were spinning in the wind.
The imperial carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Xiao Chenglan glanced at Jiang Yingli and said, "Go."
Jiang Yingli emerged from the terrace and peered back at Xiao Chenglan in the tent: "It's so cold outside, Your Majesty, aren't you going in?"
Xiao Chenglan reached out and smoothed Jiang Yingli's wind-blown hair, saying calmly, "She suddenly fell ill. I took a look and that's all. After all, I can't let her get sick. The court is in chaos lately, and I can't fall down."
Jiang Yingli was stunned by Xiao Chenglan's words, and suddenly felt guilty: "If I go to see him, wouldn't I also pass on the disease to His Majesty? What should I do?"
Seeing her tangled look, Xiao Chenglan said softly: "You can go and take a look. It's okay if you don't stay too long. Don't come again in the future. If I get sick, it will be very troublesome."
Jiang Yingli pursed her lips and nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand. I will definitely come out soon, Your Majesty, just wait for me for a while!"
Jiang Yingli entered the palace gate holding a hand warmer. Xiao Chenglan watched quietly as her back was swallowed up by the dim palace gate and disappeared.
Unable to find a place to look, he lowered his gaze and turned back to look at the gray sky.
Time began to feel long.
