I think that in the days to come, Concubine De will have to live in this torture day after day.
Shufei was able to see the situation more clearly. Her maternal family had little power, her son was of mediocre talent, and had no support from any forces in the court.
She has always been relatively low-key in the harem, because her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but because of her gentle personality, she has some impression on the emperor. Later, she was given the title of Shu because she successfully gave birth to a prince.
She is also a good person in the harem and does not have any major conflicts with anyone. She also knows how to look at the situation and knows that her son has no chance, so she tries to please Concubine Xian, hoping to be a concubine dowager in the future and live a stable life in the second half of her life.
And it would be nice for her son to be a leisurely prince.
Helian Ting went to Jieyang fiefdom without any resistance and did not even see Concubine De before leaving.
Moreover, the Emperor wanted to kill someone and destroy his heart, so he specifically asked Eunuch Fu to tell Concubine De.
When Eunuch Fu arrived, Concubine De was enduring the invasion of poisoned wine. She had a rag stuffed in her mouth and was rolling on the couch. Two maids were standing by with expressionless faces.
During this period of time, she has been tortured beyond recognition, with a lot of white hair and a dark complexion.
Eunuch Fu sighed and said, "You can't be a noble man, but you have to be a lowly man. You can't live a good life of wealth and honor, but you have to seek death. Who can you blame?"
"Madam Defei, I am here to inform you that His Royal Highness Prince Yong has set off for his fiefdom, Jieyang, today."
Eunuch Fu winked and asked the nanny to take the rag out of her mouth.
When Concubine De heard that her son went to his fiefdom, and the barren Jieyang, she was immediately furious. She was already feeling upset, and now it got even worse.
Is the emperor really so cruel that he would exile Ting'er to a place like Jieyang?
She couldn't hold back for a moment and spat out a large mouthful of black blood, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably.
It seems that I will never see Ting'er again in this life.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, she wanted to bite her tongue to commit suicide, but the guards brought by Eunuch Fu saw through her intention and went straight over to pinch her chin and stuffed the rag back in.
Concubine De began to cry loudly and struggle, but she didn't have much strength and could only look at Eunuch Fu and others with resentment.
Why not let yourself die? Why?
"You must keep a close eye on her. If she commits suicide and goes against the emperor's wishes, you will have to consider the consequences yourself."
Eunuch Fu left these words to the two maids and left with his men.
…
In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Hechuan finally had some free time during this period. Xia Wanning had given birth safely, and the two children were already one month old. She no longer needed to run to the East Palace all the time.
Their little Mingxi is now more than four months old. He is growing more and more adorable every day. He is white and chubby, and recently he has learned to suck his fingers.
He doesn't like to cry and likes to laugh. Everyone in the mansion likes to tease him.
Seeing that there was nothing they could do to help in Kyoto, Xiao's father and mother thought about returning to Jeju, but Jiang Sui kept them there.
Xiao's mother has never seen what her grandson looks like. She has been thinking about him all the time and is determined to go back no matter what.
Yesterday, I just sent the old couple out of the capital.
Jiang Sui was in the garden, playing with little Mingxi, and there were two wet nurses too.
Little Mingxi was lying in the cradle. Jiang Sui kept teasing him with a rattle. He concentrated on eating his fingers, and his two black grape-like eyes moved along with the shaking of the rattle.
Xiao Hechuan had just returned from the Ministry of Revenue, feeling exhausted. He had too many things to plan recently. He took office in the Ministry in a hurry, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Now, the matter has finally been dealt with, and no one in the Ministry of Revenue dares to obey his jurisdiction.
As soon as I came back, I saw such a warm scene, and all my fatigue was instantly swept away.
He walked over, still wearing his bright red official uniform. He handed his black gauze hat to Qiu Shui and asked her to put it away.
He sat next to the cradle, and the wet nurses tactfully stepped back, leaving the space for the family of three.
"You're back? You've worked hard."
Jiang Sui handed him a cup of hot tea, and he took it and drank it.
"It's not hard. I don't feel tired when I see you two. Mingxi, have you been good today?"
"You know your son, he's not noisy and easy to take care of."
The old father looked at his son with satisfaction and reached out to touch his face, but the little guy started crying without giving him any face.
Xiao Hechuan's face suddenly turned black, while Jiang Sui laughed unkindly and quickly picked up his son to comfort him.
"Maybe your hands are too rough and he feels uncomfortable!"
"Hmph, my daughter is still so obedient." Xiao Hechuan said angrily.
Jiang Sui couldn't help laughing at his childish look.
Afterwards, Xiao Hechuan talked about Concubine De. He did not hide anything from Jiang Sui and told her all his plans without any reservation.
Upon learning of Concubine De's fate, Jiang Sui just sighed helplessly and did not comment.
"By the way, Miaomiao and the others, how long do they expect to arrive in Beijing?"
Jiang Sui was still more concerned about Fang Miao. He heard that she had recognized the empress and would follow her to Beijing. Now, she was already a legitimate Rakshasa princess.
"It is estimated that it will take another six or seven days. By then, I will take you to attend the palace banquet to welcome the empress."
She is Fang Miao's good sister, and she cannot be absent no matter who is absent.
"Six or seven more days? All right then!"
In fact, she couldn't wait to see what Fang Miao looked like when she turned back into the princess of Rakshasa Kingdom. She wanted to say goodbye to her properly and was also curious about the legendary empress.
…
Seven days later, the team returning to Beijing, led by Helian Jing, finally arrived. This time it was no different from winning a battle.
As long as there is peace, no matter what form it takes, it is the result that the people most expect.
During the time she was in Beijing, Helian Jing had been treating the Empress of Luosha with the highest etiquette. Even if they were just setting up camp to rest, he would take the trouble to arrange for the soldiers to build a real tent for her to rest.
Fang Miao has been with her all the time. It is inconvenient for the mother and daughter to communicate, but fortunately Fang Miao has learned some Rakshasa language during the two years in Rakshasa Country. She can understand some simple Rakshasa language.
The mother and daughter developed a relationship, but Helian Heng cried. He wanted to see Fang Miao, but he couldn't find a reason. Every time he could only look at her in a daze from afar.
The perceptive Queen Joseline had already noticed this detail.
On the day of entering the capital, the emperor and the queen went to the city gate to welcome them in person, accompanied by civil and military officials. On the way into the palace, the people of Kyoto also gathered in an orderly manner on both sides of the street to watch. Everyone had a kind smile on their face, and they took the initiative to greet Josephine who was riding on a horse.
The bolder ones even handed gifts to Josephine, who asked the female soldiers accompanying her to accept them.
She felt Daqing's kindness and respect to a great extent.
