Empress Duan pleaded softly, "Your Majesty, please let me stay and serve you tonight."
A face full of expectation and eyes full of hope.
Xuan Ling said coldly, "I still have some things to deal with. Queen, please go back first and take good care of Le Wen and Le Yun."
He always spoke directly and concisely. Empress Duan got up and left unhappily, trying hard to suppress her sadness.
She had to maintain the dignity and decorum of a queen.
Until she got on the phoenix chariot, in the dark night, no one saw the tears dripping down her cheeks.
When they were a young couple, she was self-disciplined and diligent, remembering her status as a queen, and did not dare to act coquettishly and woo like an ordinary woman.
Later, because it took too long to make the board, I couldn’t make it anymore.
I used to think that treating each other with respect was love, but now I know that it was just a relationship between a ruler and his subjects.
She is a woman, how can she not desire to be loved.
After noon the next day, in the Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager is seated on Xuanling.
Below were the Queen, the four concubines and Sheng Xiyan sitting, while the other concubines were standing.
The Ministry of Discipline and Administration reported the results of the investigation, and Empress Duan also explained the situation.
"Your Majesty, Yunyan's mother was originally a servant of the Zhang family, the son-in-law of Princess E's sister. Someone must have used her to threaten Yunyan into giving Concubine Lian the abortion drug. That person was Concubine Shu."
Concubine Shu stood up and knelt, saying aggrievedly, "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty is wise. I know absolutely nothing about this matter. What the Empress said is just speculation."
The Empress Dowager said, "Even if it's just speculation, you, Concubine Shu, are the most suspicious. Your Majesty, Yuqing can no longer be left in Concubine Shu's care."
Empress Duan chuckled, and Concubine Shu cried anxiously, "Your Majesty, I am innocent, Your Majesty."
Xuan Ling looked at Sheng Xiyan, and the two looked at each other.
When Empress Duan went to the Yangxin Palace to talk about this matter yesterday, he had the idea of letting Sheng Xiyan raise Yuqing.
But after thinking about it all night, I overturned this decision.
Firstly, this only child is now a hot potato. Holding him in hand will only lead to persecution, and there will be no peace in Guanju Palace in the future.
More importantly, as the saying goes, a child's future can be seen at the age of three. He was not sure about Yu Qing's talent yet, so the prince he raised for Sheng Xiyan had to be a sufficiently outstanding one.
Sheng Xiyan couldn't figure out Xuan Ling's thoughts at the moment. Would he let her raise Yu Qing?
The Empress Dowager said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Liang has been in the palace for many years. I would like to let her raise Yuqing."
Concubine Shu kowtowed hurriedly. She didn't expect that Empress Duan would find out about Yunyan's mother. She originally wanted to force Yunyan and her mother to death to be foolproof.
Defei looked at her and smiled faintly, Shufei, I have wanted to take revenge for a long time, so I will naturally keep an eye on you.
"Your Majesty is wise. I was wronged. I have always taken care of Yuqing with all my heart. Your Majesty, I cannot live without him..."
Xuan Ling was very disappointed with Shufei, the chess piece that kept the harem in check and balance. If she hadn't made a big mistake, he wouldn't have taken Yuqing away.
But this time she was guilty of murdering the royal heir. Even without any concrete evidence, it was enough to show her sinister intentions. She also violated the emperor's biggest taboo - seizing the throne and seeking power.
Liangpin knelt on the ground, tears welling in her eyes as she begged:
"Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for more than six years, almost seven years, and you have never favored me. I only ask Your Majesty to give me hope."
