"My Lady, the Saint is here!"
Nanny Deng came running in, her face full of panic.
Concubine Zhen frowned and shouted angrily, "How can you be so hasty?!"
There are outsiders here!
Her subordinates are so unruly, isn't it a laughing stock?
Nanny Deng also knew her master's temper. She was anxious and angry at the moment. Just as she was about to kneel down to reply, the saint's voice came from behind her.
Aunt Deng: ≥﹏≤
This is not something she didn't say!
After the Saint leaves, the master must not punish her!
"Meet the Toffee."
The saint nodded slightly and sat down at the bottom.
Concubine Zhen was startled.
Grandmother Jia was also terrified and quickly stood up and saluted:
"Your humble servant, Shi of the Jia family, pays homage to the sage."
The sage glanced at her and wondered, is this Lady Shi?
The person who forced Lin Ruhai to ask him for help?
She looks as kind and benevolent as Concubine Zhen.
"Get up." The saint said calmly.
The saint came in suddenly without any notification, which made Concubine Zhen feel a little dissatisfied.
But she didn't want to lose face in front of Shi, so she could only pretend that this was how they usually got along, smiling kindly:
"Why is the Saint here now? Have you finished your court affairs? Have you had your meal yet?"
The Saint chuckled, but did not intend to give Concubine Zhen face:
"Didn't the Concubine send someone to look for me, saying she missed me? Could it be that the Concubine has forgotten?"
Concubine Zhen finally came to her senses and suddenly remembered that she had sent Nanny Ding to call someone.
She clapped her hands:
"Look at me, I'm so old, my memory is really not good! Yes, I asked Aunt Ding to invite you over. But why is Aunt Ding not here?"
"That old woman is so reckless, she even dared to say that the Concubine Dowager is more important than the government. I will have her taken to the Ministry of Punishment! It's best not to keep such a dumb servant by the Concubine Dowager's side, lest she tarnish her reputation."
The sage said it lightly.
Concubine Zhen almost couldn't breathe.
Nanny Ding and Nanny Deng have been with her since she was a child.
Later, she followed her into the palace and became her nanny.
Over the years, these two people have already become her confidants.
The saint's move was equivalent to directly cutting off her arm.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Nanny Ding is not good at speaking, and perhaps she has offended Your Majesty. If so, I, as her mistress, apologize to you on her behalf. However, I am used to her service, so if Your Majesty has punished her too much, please let her go!"
The saint smiled, looking a bit mischievous like a child:
"Why didn't the Concubine tell you earlier? I'm afraid the people from the Ministry of Punishment have already taken action. It's unknown whether this person can come back!"
Concubine Zhen's eyes widened as she called out, "Quick! Aunt Deng, get someone to check it out!"
Nanny Deng felt a chill in her heart. When she heard this, she quickly got up and ran out.
Nothing must happen to Aunt Ding!
She knew that the Saint wanted to take action against Concubine Zhen.
But as long as Nanny Ding is still around, she can still deceive herself and live a few more days!
But she didn't expect that by running over, she was actually putting herself in danger.
The people from the Ministry of Punishment didn't even have to worry about disturbing Concubine Zhen before they could catch her!
When her hands were handcuffed behind her back and she saw Nanny Ding, who was beaten to a bloody mess and her original appearance could not be recognized, Nanny Deng couldn't stop crying.
It’s over!
It's all over!
The saint acted so quickly that they didn't even have time to react!
But thinking that Lady Shi was still there, Nanny Deng felt relieved.
With outsiders present, it would be difficult for the Saint to take action against Concubine Zhen, right?
But she never imagined that ever since the old saint passed away, he had been preparing to deal with Concubine Zhen.
In recent years, with the Zhen family outside, the saint has been unable to take action.
But now he has evidence that the Zhen family is plotting a rebellion and lending money at high interest. As long as he deals with Concubine Zhen, the Zhen family will definitely fall!
The biggest role played by Lady Jia here is probably to take the blame!
Grandmother Jia didn't expect that she would be eliminated just by going to the palace to complain to Concubine Zhen!
Watching the commander of the imperial guards beside the saint take out a dagger and stab it into Concubine Zhen's chest, Grandmother Jia was so scared that her face turned pale.
Concubine Zhen died with her eyes open, staring at her intently, making Lady Jia almost scream.
However, before she could say anything, she felt a pain in her neck and fainted.
When Lady Jia regained consciousness, she found herself back home.
There was a lot of noise outside and people were crying.
Jia Mu frowned, wanting to scold, but found she couldn't make a sound. She wanted to stand up, but found she couldn't move.
Grandmother Jia felt uneasy, and suddenly she remembered the scene she had seen before.
No, she must be dreaming!
Yuanyang came in from outside with a bowl of black medicine in her hand.
Seeing that Lady Jia had her eyes open, Yuanyang was delighted and hurried over and knelt before the bed:
"Old lady, you are awake! How do you feel?"
Grandmother Jia opened her mouth, but no word came out.
When Yuanyang saw this, his heart sank and his eyes were filled with sorrow:
"The palace has announced that you assassinated Concubine Zhen. Right now, the Dali Temple is raiding your home! Old Madam, how could you be so confused? How should everyone in your family cope with this?!"
Grandmother Jia was shocked.
Wasn't she dreaming just now?!
But the one who killed Concubine Zhen was obviously a saint!
Grandmother Jia was anxious to defend herself, but she couldn't utter a word.
