But Su Man reminded him, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu just said it with certainty, saying that if she told even a single lie, she would be willing to be punished and sent to the cold palace."
Concubine Shu's face was pale and she was in a state of panic. "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I didn't mean what I said."
"Are you talking without thinking? You have tried to harm me and the Queen time and again. If I let you go, the next one will be the Emperor!" Concubine Li seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and she put out the fire of Concubine Shu with just a few words.
Although Murong Hong was angry, he could do nothing about it.
He knew that in today's situation, if Shu Guiren was not severely punished and rumors continued to spread, those military generals would be completely furious.
So even if he acquiesced to what Shu Guiren did, he had to be cruel and say, "Shu Guiren cannot distinguish right from wrong and is committing crimes. From now on, your title will be revoked and you will be banished to the cold palace."
Shu Guiren lost her strength and fell to the ground. She couldn't believe it. She was clearly working for Murong Hong, so how could he be so cruel to her?
She grabbed Murong Hong's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't be so heartless, Your Majesty!"
Murong Hong couldn't bear it, so he closed his eyes and didn't look at her. "Take her away."
"Your Majesty! You can't do this to me! Your Majesty!"
As Concubine Shu was dragged out, today's drama came to an end.
Perhaps because he lost more than he gained, Murong Hong was upset, so he left in a hurry and didn't even take care of the funeral arrangements that Wen had promised.
...
After Murong Hong left, Concubine Li and Concubine Song, who had survived the disaster, quickly put on curious expressions.
"Empress, what's going on with the little prince?" Concubine Song seemed a little scared and stayed away from Su Man who was holding the little prince.
Concubine Li was a bit bolder than Concubine Song. She circled around Su Man and asked, "Could it be that you, Your Majesty, are psychic?"
After saying this, she got goosebumps all over her body.
Su Man teased them deliberately. She said seriously, "It's psychic communication. I brought the child's soul back from the underworld."
At the same time, a flash of lightning illuminated the house as bright as day.
"ah!"
Concubine Song screamed and ran out at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
Concubine Li also wanted to run, but was stopped by Su Man, "Do you want to hug him?"
"Ah! Help!"
Concubine Li also ran out.
Su Man laughed, "Tsk tsk, you are so timid."
In fact, when the little prince died, 666 jumped out and said that Mimi's soul could temporarily use this body.
So she simply took advantage of the situation and took the opportunity to bring down Shu Guiren, the white lotus who was an accomplice to the evil.
In order to let Murong Hong relax his vigilance, she did not tell Concubine Li and the others the truth. The more panicked they were, the more Murong Hong believed that they were risking everything.
Wen's body was sent to Baohua Palace. Su Man arranged for a monk to perform a ritual to pray for her soul to be reborn, and she was buried in the concubine's tomb seven days later.
Seeing a young life passed away like this, Su Man also felt sorry.
Su Man burned two incense sticks for Wen's promise to the young prince who had passed away young. She knelt on the mat and clasped her hands together. "I will seek justice for you. Rest in peace."
...
In the woodshed
Wen's personal maid Xiao He was still begging, "Sister Tao Yuan, please let me go. Let me see our queen off for the last time."
Just then, the door of the woodshed creaked open.
Xiao He saw the person kneeling on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please ask this servant to escort our young master, please."
Su Man gave Tao Yuan a wink, and she understood and went out to guard the door.
Su Man helped Xiao He up with her own hands. "You are a loyal person, but you must know that the dead are gone. Even if the living cry for her a hundred times at her grave, it will not be as satisfying as avenging her."
Xiao He looked panicked, "Empress, I don't know, you mean..."
"Your young mistress, what a coincidence, gave birth while paying respects to the young prince at Kunning Palace? And it seems she knew something was going to happen to the young prince."
“…”
Xiao He lowered her eyes, her face showing a look of struggle.
Su Man didn't force it, and turned around and said, "I just had someone throw you in the woodshed because I was afraid you would be silenced. Since you don't want to talk, I will arrange for someone to send you out of the palace."
"Her Majesty the Queen."
Xiao He made up her mind and knelt on the ground, "Yes, it's Your Majesty."
It was pretty much what Suman expected.
Wen Da Ying was originally a maid in the Yangxin Palace. Because of her slender waist, she was favored by Murong Hong and was made an official lady.
She was favored for a few days, but she became pregnant and was soon forgotten by Murong Hong because she could not serve him in bed.
Although a mother's status is enhanced by her son, she was, after all, a palace maid. Even if she had a child, she would not be made the crown prince. Murong Hong did not give her any preferential treatment because of her child, but only promoted her to be a concubine.
But just a few days ago, the emperor suddenly remembered her.
Not only did he visit her frequently, he also personally sent the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau, Dr. Liu, to help her with her pregnancy.
After taking one dose of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine after another, Wen Da Ying's originally stable fetus became weak, and she often suffered from stomach pain and discomfort at night.
But the medicine was given by the emperor, and she had to take it herself under the supervision of the imperial physician, so she had no right to refuse.
Until today, the imperial physician brought her a labor-inducing drug and asked her to drink it, and told her to give birth in Kunning Palace.
Xiao He was already in tears when she said this. "Zheng Ying knew that she couldn't keep the little prince, but she said that she and the child were both pawns of others. She was of low status and couldn't refuse."
"So, the young prince couldn't be saved from the very beginning?" Su Man's voice tightened.
"Yes, the little prince was born with a deficiency. When the wet nurse took him away, he was already dying..."
