"I hereby decree that you be stripped of your title of Concubine Hui, demoted to a commoner, and handed over to the Imperial Clan Court."
The Imperial Clan Court! A prison with the most brutal tortures in the world.
Emperor Xuan Jing really wanted Concubine Hui to die, and he also wanted to get testimony from her with legitimate reasons.
Concubine Hui was so frightened that she was a little dazed. She wanted to say something, but it was stuck in her throat. Before she could even utter a word of begging for mercy, she was taken away.
_
Before Concubine Hui was executed, two major events occurred. First, the emperor adopted Princess Baohua to Concubine Jing for upbringing, thus severing the mother-daughter relationship between her and Concubine Hui.
I heard that Concubine Hui was clamoring in the clan house to see the princess. She was the princess's biological mother and the emperor could not kill her.
When this decree reached Concubine Hui, she became truly quiet, or perhaps it could be said that she went crazy.
The second is that Hui Guipin's father, Hong Zhiyuan, went to the palace at night and asked to see the emperor. He was willing to resign from his official position and only wanted to save his daughter's life.
However, the emperor was determined to kill Concubine Hui. Not only did he reject Hong Zhiyuan's request for an audience, but he also thoroughly investigated the source of "Poppy". Concubine Hui had lived in the deep palace for a long time. Even if she had connections and could get the poison of "Poppy", it was likely that she was related to the Hong family.
A beloved concubine of her generation died, and her family was also implicated.
However, not many people sympathized with Concubine Hui. She was vicious by nature and did not deserve sympathy.
However, the emperor still cared about his daughter, Princess Baohua, so Concubine Hui's execution was simply said to be a sudden death from illness.
Because of this, he felt a little guilty towards Bai Susu, as if he had not really stood up for her.
He looked apologetic and whispered, "Susu, I'm sorry for you."
Bai Susu was dressed in a clean white nightgown, her dark, lustrous hair cascading across her chest. She leaned back on a soft, floral pillow, shook her head, and said, "Your Majesty has done very well. Although the princess is young, if you were to make Hui Guipin's crimes known to the entire palace, I'm afraid she would be criticized. I'm fine."
Anyway, Concubine Hui is dead, and Emperor Xuan Jing has finally vented his anger on her.
Bai Susu didn't want to get stuck in a rut.
Emperor Xuan Jing was indeed relieved to hear this. He held Bai Susu in his arms and sighed, "Susu understands me. I am so lucky."
Perhaps because she is going to be a mother herself, Bai Susu can empathize better, and she will not have any prejudice against Princess Baohua because of Concubine Hui.
As for how Emperor Xuan Jing treated his daughter, she would not say more.
In fact, Bai Susu was relieved by Emperor Xuan Jing's behavior. She knew that Emperor Xuan Jing was a high and mighty emperor, but she also hoped that this emperor could also have true feelings.
Let me ask you, even a tiger does not eat its own cubs. If Emperor Xuan Jing did not care about his own children, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?
_
Emperor Xuan Jing was still frightened by Bai Susu's poisoning, so he brought Bai Susu to the Yangxin Palace. He could only feel at ease when she was under his supervision.
Bai Susu looked at the bright yellow and sighed in her heart. In the end, she couldn't resist the emperor.
The imperial concubine's favor rose to a higher level. When others talked about Bai Susu, they no longer called her the precious concubine, but the imperial concubine of the Yangxin Palace.
Nanchun and the others were also restricted and trembling with fear in the Yangxin Palace. Fortunately, Emperor Xuan Jing found another old nanny to serve Bai Susu.
The nanny's surname is Zheng, she is about forty years old, and she specializes in serving pregnant nobles. She is also proficient in medicine. Bai Susu is already in the late stage of pregnancy and just needs this nanny to serve her until the birth.
This nanny was also quite capable. She was gentle and generous in her life, but organized in her work. Having served in the homes of powerful people for a long time, she was neither humble nor arrogant when facing the imperial concubine.
He dared to touch Bai Susu's belly when they met for the first time, which scared Nanchun and the others.
She remained calm, gently patted the baby a few times, and said, "Your Majesty has taken good care of the baby. The fetus is not big and the position is correct."
Upon hearing this, Bai Susu knew that she had some abilities. Apart from anything else, she had deliberately controlled her diet during the late stages of her pregnancy, fearing that the fetus would be too large and difficult to deliver.
The nanny actually discovered it and agreed with it.
This idea is different from that of the emperor, Nanchun and other laymen, who believe in the theory that "the bigger the belly, the healthier the dragon fetus."
Because of controlling her diet, Bai Susu lost some weight. The emperor thought that the servants in the Yangxin Palace were not serving her well enough, and he got very angry when he saw it.
It was only thanks to Bai Susu's gentle persuasion that Emperor Xuan Jing did not punish the servants below.
What Madam Zheng said naturally made people feel at ease.
After that, she took over all of Bai Susu's food and daily necessities. Since she was sent by the emperor and was proficient in pharmacology, Nanchun Manxia naturally followed her lead.
With a leader, I didn't feel so panicked even in the Yangxin Palace.
Bai Susu drank the detoxifying soup and secretly took the system's detoxifying pills. She was no longer in any danger, and the child was even stronger, punching and kicking in her stomach from time to time.
Emperor Xuan Jing was very happy every time he saw it. Although he didn't say it out loud, he already felt in his heart that this baby was a little prince, which was why he was so naughty in the belly.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one month left before the due date. Bai Susu was still in good spirits, but her stomach felt heavy and she had occasional cramps at night, so she couldn't sleep well and became sleepy during the day.
That day, after taking a nap, Bai Susu laughed and played with Nanchun and the others for a while, and then fell asleep again. When she woke up, she saw that the house was dark and it was already dark.
Bai Susu opened her eyes and reached out, touching a piece of soft silk. Before she could move, her hand was grasped by a warm hand.
She blinked and saw Emperor Xuan Jing sitting beside the couch. His figure was as tall as a mountain, and he was looking down at her. She didn't know how long he had been sitting there.
