Gu Wanying's skin was originally pale, but after crying, it became abnormally red, like a rare treasure on the verge of breaking.
The emperor was extremely careful in holding her. Faced with such a Gu Wanying, he was even a little at a loss. He had thousands of words to say but couldn't utter them.
Xiao Cheng pushed Hu Jie in front of Concubine Shu. He threw him easily, and Hu Jie was thrown at the emperor's feet like a corpse.
"My Lady Shufei, just admit it. I've only messed up one thing you asked me to do, and I'm going to be executed. Please save me, Lady Shufei!"
Hu Jie used up his limited strength to stretch out his bloody fingers with missing knuckles and climb onto Concubine Shu's embroidered shoes, leaving several bloody fingerprints on the shoe surface.
Concubine Shu was terribly frightened. The glaring red shocked her nerves. She screamed and backed away desperately, avoiding Hu Jie like the plague.
"Shufei! You will be punished for your evil deeds! You have done so many bad things! You must pay for the lives of 18 people in my family!" To Shufei, Defei's voice sounded like a terrifying evil spirit from hell demanding death.
Defei came in after Gu Wanying. She had regained consciousness and cleaned herself up properly, but she looked pale and thin, completely lacking the dignity she had when she was Defei.
After Hu Jie was arrested, no one told Concubine Shu that Concubine De was in Gu Wanying's palace. Now, when she suddenly saw Concubine De, Concubine Shu was shocked again.
The defeat of Concubine De was caused by Concubine Shu, and her hands were stained with the blood of eighteen lives.
After these successive shocks, the secret buried deep in her heart was revealed to everyone, and Concubine Shu's psychological defenses finally collapsed.
She is crazy.
Just like the Defei who became crazy.
"Come here! Pass on my decree. Sun Lan, the daughter of Concubine Sun, is unworthy of her position, has bad character, and has harmed concubines. The evidence is conclusive. She is given a piece of white silk and is to be executed immediately." The emperor looked at Concubine Shu with no warmth in his eyes.
Eunuch Feng had been waiting nearby. As soon as the emperor left with Gu Wanying in his arms, he stepped forward and urged Concubine Shu to end her life.
Shufei was eventually hanged in her own palace, with the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground. There was no example of palace maids and eunuchs being buried alive with concubines in the Dayu Dynasty, so they escaped a disaster.
Defei watched her die in front of her, and the anger that had been pent up in her heart for years finally came out.
Nothing that happened in the palace escaped the Empress Dowager's eyes, and the same was true for Concubine Shu's affairs.
She closed her eyes, chanted a Buddhist name, and stopped asking questions.
There is a destiny of cause and effect in this world. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It’s not that there is no reward, but that the time has not come yet.
The emperor restored Concubine De's title and status and wanted her to move back into her previous palace, but she refused.
"My wish has been fulfilled. I wish to spend the rest of my life with the green lamp and ancient Buddha. I will only pray for the emperor and the royal heir for the rest of my life." After avenging her family, there was no more resentment between Concubine De's brows. She looked pure and bright, with an elegant and otherworldly temperament.
The emperor agreed to her request and allowed her to go to Baoxiang Temple to pray for the country's fortune.
From then on, the Dayu Dynasty lost a virtuous concubine and gained a Huizhen nun who prayed for the country's destiny.
When the Sun family learned about this, the entire family was shocked.
Originally, with Concubine Shu in charge of the harem, it would have been much easier for them to act. But now, the emperor could have saved Concubine Shu's life with just one word, which was like a stab in their hearts.
Minister Sun was troubled by his family, and his clansmen rushed home in a hurry to discuss what to do after his death. Many of their family's businesses were supported by Concubine Shu.
Now that they had suddenly fallen from power, they all gathered together to discuss a way out. As for Concubine Shu's funeral, they had no way of getting involved and no time to take care of it.
Only Minister Sun was holding his forehead with a sad look on his face, looking very out of place in the huge crowd.
"Aunt, are you serious?" Sun Chongming's face was full of disbelief. He had planned to take Gu Qingqing to the palace to see her again in a few days.
"Yes, it's the decree issued by the emperor himself." Minister Sun closed his eyes, his mind full of childhood memories with his sister, Concubine Shu.
Her every gesture and smile seemed to be still before my eyes, and she would sweetly call me brother or elder brother.
When she grew up and entered the palace, she only reported good news and not bad news, and was often bullied by other concubines. He, her eldest brother, was useless and could not help her at all, but there was still a large group of relatives who held her back.
Sun Chongming had a very good relationship with Concubine Shu. When he was 5 years old, Concubine Shu had not yet entered the palace. Every time he was scolded by his father for being naughty, he would hide behind his aunt, and then his aunt would protect him.
He never had such a moment again.
He couldn't believe that his aunt was gone just like that!
"No, I don't believe it! Your Majesty, Your Majesty must have misunderstood!" Sun Chongming retreated repeatedly and even turned around and ran out.
Minister Sun stood up and wanted to know why this happened. Why was he suddenly sentenced to death?
It turns out that Concubine Shu is such a well-behaved woman!
Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and caught up with Sun Chongming. The father and son rushed to the palace together.
Ministers in the court often went to the palace to see the emperor when they had urgent matters, so the guards at the gate did not stop them.
Shangshu Sun and Sun Chongming felt that the road to the palace today was particularly long, as if it would never end.
Even though he had been a minister for many years, he lost his usual composure at this moment.
Fortunately, the carriage stopped at the palace gate, and the father and son did not bother to tidy up their clothes and went straight to the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Minister Sun and Attendant Sun request to see you." Eunuch Feng's voice broke the silence in the imperial study.
Prime Minister Gu had been here a quarter of an hour ago. He came here because of the flood in the south. He felt a little sad about Concubine Shu being sentenced to death, but compared with the suffering of the common people, it was nothing.
The emperor had already told Prime Minister Gu the whole story. When Prime Minister Gu saw Minister Sun at this time, his face was cold and he did not have the particularly cordial feeling of meeting a relative.
As soon as Shangshu Sun and Sun Chongming entered the imperial study, they asked about this matter.
"If you are here for the matter of Concubine Shu, get out of here before I get angry!" The emperor was too lazy to be distracted by this matter.
Sun Chongming was shocked and knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the emperor.
In fact, the emperor also watched Sun Chongming grow up. Logically speaking, he is Sun Chongming's uncle, but the royal family does not abide by reason but only by rules, and Sun Chongming can never call him uncle.
"Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding here! Aunt, aunt would never do such a thing!" Sun Chongming said firmly with red eyes.
The confession letter was still in the emperor's hand. He waved his hand and threw the paper, which fell lightly in front of Sun Chongming.
When Sun Chongming picked it up and took a look, cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.
It records all the things that Concubine Shu did to harm Concubine De. Even the recent assassination of Concubine Wan, who was then Concubine Gu, when she returned to the palace was the work of Concubine Shu!
