"Your Majesty? I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Concubine Wan Shu was so frightened that she was trembling with fear, and her legs could not even stand steadily when she tried to salute.
The emperor just looked at the squatting Concubine Shu.
This woman is really just as Prince Rong said.
He did promote her to the position of Consort Shu out of consideration for the palace and because she gave birth to a prince.
I didn't expect that it would fuel her great ambition.
It's okay to be ambitious, but she even dared to plot against and harm her own family.
Prince Rong only warned her verbally, but considering that he was her father, he showed her some mercy.
It was also a favor to him as the emperor.
On the surface, this was the family affair of Prince Rong's Mansion, but it was also his family affair. The women in his harem were so vicious that he had to think more about it.
"Besides your own nephew, who else have you harmed?" Emperor Qi asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, I have never harmed anyone. I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Concubine Shu knelt down immediately.
"Wanrou, since you gave me a prince, I have honored and favored you, but you have become so ignorant of your own limitations that you have even corrupted my prince. You are no longer worthy of your position. From today on, you will move out of this Chaoxia Palace and be demoted to Wanpin. If you still don't know what is good for you, your next step will be to be sent to the cold palace." The emperor left these words and walked away.
Eunuch Hai will supervise her moving according to his wishes.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was wrong." Concubine Wan Shu, no, it should be Concubine Wan now, cried and begged for mercy from the distant emperor.
But the emperor didn't even turn his head and walked towards the queen's palace.
Still, those two little guys are his favorites.
Cute and naughty, especially the seventh child, who always makes him laugh.
The news that Shangguan Wanrou was demoted to a concubine spread throughout the harem as the prince left the palace, and then spread out of the imperial palace.
When the prince returned to the palace and heard this, he was not surprised at all.
The reason why he just quarreled with his sister and did not do anything substantial was because he anticipated that the emperor would not remain indifferent.
This is exactly the effect he wants.
When the old lady and the master heard the news, they were so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
Then the mother and son came together to see the prince.
"Brother, why did the emperor demote my sister to a concubine? You have to talk to the emperor about this. My sister has been a concubine for so many years, and the emperor never said that she did anything wrong. Why did he suddenly say that she is unworthy of the position?" The master yelled angrily.
"Yes, Prince, Wanrou is your sister, you have to help her. You should go and plead with the Emperor. Whatever Wanrou did wrong, she can change. If her status is lowered, how will the Third Prince cope with it? He is getting married soon." The old lady was not as arrogant as before and advised earnestly.
Concubine Wan was her greatest pride. If her daughter's position in the palace was lost, she would have no face to go out. How could she still boss the palace around?
"The emperor said that she is not worthy of her position, which means she is not worthy of her position. The emperor has said that the prince is just a minister." The prince said indifferently.
The implication is that no one can change the emperor's decision.
"Brother, why did the emperor demote my sister's position?"
"She actually dared to harm Ziqi. How could such a woman be worthy of being a concubine? The emperor only demoted her to a concubine, which was already a special favor."
"What did you say? How could my sister harm Ziqi?" The master pretended to be surprised and acted very genuinely, making it impossible to tell that he was lying at all.
"Humph, she bribed Doctor Gu and murdered Ziqi. The prince has not yet held you accountable for this matter. Are you also involved?" The prince suddenly asked sternly.
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? How could we be involved in this?" The master immediately denied it.
"It's best if you didn't get involved. If the king finds out that you were involved, he will never let you off easily."
"Don't worry, brother. We are definitely not involved in this. Brother, why did my sister want to harm Ziqi?" The old man asked knowingly.
"If you want to know, go to the palace and ask her."
"But, brother..."
"There is no but. The prince is only in charge of political and military affairs." The prince interrupted the master who was about to say something.
He knew exactly what his brother and his mother were thinking.
A mother is honored by her daughter; a brother is honored by his sister.
The two had no choice but to leave in shame.
The mother and son of the third room also discussed this matter.
"Mother, the prince has already learned the whole story from Imperial Doctor Gu." The third master was a little annoyed.
That sword didn't actually take Doctor Gu's life.
Yesterday, Imperial Physician Gu was thrown into the Ministry of Justice, and he was the first to get the news.
I didn't expect that even though he was seriously injured, the prince still found someone to save him.
When did such a great doctor appear in Beijing?
"Well, did you leave any clues when you did things?" The third old lady did not expect things to develop like this and get out of her control.
"No. I just didn't expect that my elder brother had arranged people to follow Doctor Gu, so the secret guards didn't kill him on the spot. But according to the secret guards who carried out the mission, his sword hit the vital point, and it would be difficult for him to survive."
"But the problem is that Doctor Gu survived." The Third Old Lady only saw the result. "You need to think more about what you do in the future and not be so careless."
"Yes, mother." The third master replied respectfully.
“Send someone to investigate who saved Doctor Gu. He was able to save a seriously injured person. It must be that he has great medical skills. If you can take him in as your own, that would be great. If not, just kill him.” The third old lady’s words were cold and chilling.
"Yes." The third master accepted the order.
"Also, your appointment letter should be issued soon. The emperor has been kind to you this time, and has assigned you to the Ministry of War as the head of the army, in charge of military supplies and food. When the time comes, you should find a way to place a few more people in various parts of the capital. It would be even better if you can place someone in the palace as well. This will prepare us for future actions."
"yes."
They don't seem like mother and son, but more like superiors and subordinates.
The third master sent someone to Beijing to inquire that same day.
Three days had passed since the wedding, and I still hadn't found any doctor with good medical skills.
Before they returned to Beijing, there was a doctor named Zeng Yuan who opened three pharmacies in Beijing that only sold medicine but did not treat patients. But this person had already left the capital, saying that he was going back to Yaowang Mountain to continue his studies, and then came back to treat the eldest son's leg.
He also sent people to look for the location of Yaowang Mountain. He was determined to kill this person and not give him the opportunity to return to the capital to treat Ziqi.
This matter will not be resolved in one or two days.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, except for the children of the first and third rooms who went out to play, no one else left the palace.
This year's New Year was very depressing. No one thought of having fun.
The princess and Yu Yuanzheng were pregnant, so it was impossible for them to come out and join in the fun.
But Shangguan Ziqi personally made a few lanterns for Yu Yuanzheng to play with and hung them in the yard.
He was very accomplished in painting and he painted all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish on the lanterns, which were very beautiful.
"I didn't expect you had this skill." Yu Yuanzheng looked at seven or eight lanterns of different shapes.
There are rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, carp lanterns...
Just as she was enjoying the show, Yu Chaoyang's wet nurse, Liu, came to Qiyayuan.
"Meet the eldest master, meet the eldest lady."
"Madame Liu, why did you come here instead of staying in Shuxiangyuan to serve your master?" Yu Yuanzheng asked in confusion.
Since the last time Nanny Liu came to Qiyayuan to move her dowry, she has never come again.
"Madam, could you please move to Shuxiangyuan for a moment? The concubine wants to see you." Liu was very humble and spoke very politely.
"Haha, the sun really is rising from the west." Yu Yuanzheng sneered.
"Madam Young Master, I was ignorant before. I hope you can forgive me." Liu admitted her mistake with a licking face.
When she was in the old Lord's Mansion, this Liu often bullied the original owner.
"Could it be that Yu Chaoyang has thought of some trick to plot against me?" Yu Yuanzheng didn't believe that Yu Chaoyang would humble himself so much to invite her for tea and chat.
"Madam, don't worry. Concubine Yang sincerely invites you to come over. She has something to tell you." Thinking of Concubine Yang's instructions to invite her over, Liu spoke more sincerely.
