Chapter 236: The Evil Concubine (10)
"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no affair between me and Prince Zhaoyang." Shi Yi's eyes were firm but clear.
She could not change the existence of the secret passage, but she and Prince Zhaoyang were absolutely innocent. She could guarantee this with a clear conscience.
Seeing her lazy and careless attitude now, Emperor Ping was amused, "Of course I believe in my beloved concubine, otherwise my beloved concubine would have been beheaded by now." Shi
Yi felt that the hairs on her body stood up, not because of fear, but because of the meaningful look of Emperor Ping. His eyes seemed to say that he knew everything about her. Emperor Ping seemed to be much more profound than she imagined.
"Your Majesty, Gao Shurong has committed such a serious crime. If you don't punish her, it will be difficult to appease the gossips in the harem." Wang Shuyi crawled to his side on her knees, and the eunuch was afraid that she would hug Emperor Ping's thighs again, so he hurriedly blocked her.
At this point, Eunuch Cai also saw something. Emperor Ping didn't care whether Gao Shurong had a private affair with Prince Zhaoyang in the past. Wang Shuyi's current quarrel will definitely not end well.
Unfortunately, what outsiders can see clearly, people in the situation can never see clearly.
Wang Shuyi was stopped by Eunuch Cai from hugging Emperor Ping's thigh, and she cried directly, "Your Majesty, you don't distinguish between justice and justice, you favor the treacherous concubine, and you insist on your own way. This Wu Dynasty will be ruined in your hands."
Emperor Ping originally wanted to give Wang Shuyi a good ending in this life, but when she mentioned her saddest past, his face immediately sank:
"Strip Wang Songyan of her Shuyi title, and immediately send her back to Wang Yushi's house to marry, and you are not allowed to step into the palace again in this life." After
being made such a fuss by Wang Songyan today, he was in no mood at all, so he returned to his own Dayang Palace.
The eunuch looked at Wang Songyan who was kneeling on the ground, then looked at Shi Yi who was standing, shook his whisk, and left without a speck of dust.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... You can't be without conscience..." Wang Shuyi felt that her kindness was misunderstood by Emperor Ping, and she cried and was unwilling to leave.
Shi Yi stood in front of Wang Songyan, but tasted some taste from Emperor Ping's words.
Wang Shuyi was originally the eldest daughter that Wang Yushi loved the most, and he was almost afraid of the heat when he held her in his palm. Depriving Wang Shuyi of her title meant that she was no longer Emperor Ping's concubine. She was sent back to Wang Yushi's home. Wang Yushi loved his daughter and would naturally feel distressed. He didn't worry that she would suffer any grievances at all. Maybe her life would be more comfortable than in the palace. Moreover, she could get married by herself, which completely gave Wang Shuyi the right to choose her husband. Emperor Ping was not punishing Wang Shuyi at all, but more like giving her freedom. Or rather, the emperor was giving her freedom.
From this point of view, Emperor Ping's previous favor to Wang Shuyi was somewhat sincere.
If the words are said too bluntly, the emperor's heart will be revealed. So Shi Yi opened her red lips and said, "Go back, the emperor has already shown leniency."
She looked at Wang Songyan with some envy.
If she stayed here for a long time, others might think that she was taking advantage of her misfortune, so she quickly returned to her Weirui Palace.
As for the matter of apologizing, she had to think about it now. She was afraid that Emperor Ping would bring up the past and catch her off guard later.
Wang Shuyi's brain was stupid, but her trusted palace maid was not stupid. Although Can'er felt that Emperor Ping's punishment was a bit strange, she felt in her heart that it was a good thing. Now Gao Shurong was favored by Emperor Ping alone, and her lady was like a decoration in the harem, without any freedom. It would be better for her to live happily outside the palace.
Seeing Gao Shurong, who was afraid of her, leave, she hurriedly advised gently: "Miss, the emperor has issued an order. If you disobey the order, we will implicate the master and the lady." Leave the palace quickly. Life outside the palace is freer than inside the palace.
She swallowed the second half of the sentence back into her stomach. Because she knew her young lady's temperament very well. If it were not for direct interests, her young lady would not change her mind. She could only wait until her young lady left the palace and then slowly persuade her.
Emperor Ping originally wanted to return to his Dayang Palace, but after running wild in the chaotic palace walls for a while, his heart strangely calmed down.
In the previous life, Wang Songyan was just a concubine in his harem who was not noticed by him because of her unremarkable appearance. Her position was probably like a concubine, and it was given because of her family background. If it were not for Wang Yushi's reputation for being upright and incorruptible, he would not have turned over her jade card at all. But after he was poisoned in his previous life, his younger brother ascended the throne with the strong support of the Zhaoyang Palace, but Wang Songyan drank poisoned wine to show his determination, which touched him greatly.
Therefore, after he was reborn and ascended the throne, the first thing he did was to favor her, wanting to make up for her love for him in his previous life. But she was a daughter who was raised in pampering. Although she wanted to please him, most of the things she did were counterproductive. For a while, he had no patience and just wanted her to live a life of honor in the harem.
Today, her series of actions really made him feel hopelessly stupid.
He had just reconciled with King Zhaoyang in the previous dynasty, and they were brothers and sisters, but she, a concubine, jumped out to stir up trouble. If it was heard by those people in the previous dynasty, they would definitely provoke King Zhaoyang again. He did not doubt King Zhaoyang's heart for the monarch and the court, but he really couldn't stand the villains.
But he felt guilty towards her because of the relationship in his previous life, so he suddenly had an idea to send her out of the palace. He had never favored her, and she could find another good man if she was innocent.
Now that Wang Songyan had been sent out of the palace by him, he had no feelings for the other concubines in the palace, so he could take the opportunity to send them out to marry. Otherwise, if this huge harem buried their youth, how could he, the emperor who was blessed by heaven to live again, be worthy of the kindness of heaven.
After thinking it through, he immediately returned to Dayang Palace to draft an edict. When
Cai Gonggong, who was waiting on the side, saw the words written on the imperial edict of Emperor Ping: "All three thousand beauties in the harem will be sent back to their hometowns to marry on their own, and the women who get married will be given good fields and silver as gifts by the palace", his eyes almost fell out.
Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for an emperor to dismiss the harem. Even the late emperor who favored Madam Fuyao had never said to depose the harem, let alone had such an idea. Emperor Ping was really moved by Gao Shurong this time.
Because he carefully looked at the contents of the imperial edict, the five big words "Except Gao Shurong" were particularly eye-catching. After
Emperor Ping finished drafting the imperial edict and spread it on the table, he felt relieved.
He had been entangled with Gao Shiyi for a lifetime in his previous life, and now that she had entered his harem, they would be entangled for a lifetime.
