!” In front of the death row, the guard held the spear in his hand forward and stopped Liu Cainu's steps, and shouted loudly: "This is a restricted area of the death row, no one is allowed to approach!"
Liu Cainu took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and winked at Yuexiu beside her. Yuexiu handed over two purses that she had prepared in advance, and then said to the two men, "This is Liu Cainu from the palace, the biological mother of the Eighth Prince. Brothers, the Eighth Prince is about to be executed. Please have pity on my master's longing for his son, and let us go in and take a look! Just as a last farewell to the Eighth Prince."
She begged desperately with tears in her eyes, but unfortunately, the guards at the gate ignored her completely and didn't even look at the two purses. They said coldly: "No matter who you are, unless you have the emperor's decree or the token of His Royal Highness, otherwise, let alone you are just a concubine, even if you are the queen, you can't enter the death row."
"We're just going to go in and take a look, and we'll be out right away. Please be kind!" Yue Xiu begged again, "You can send someone to follow us. There will be no trouble if there are only two of us in there."
However, the guard stopped talking, looked straight ahead, and ignored the two of them.
Yuexiu wanted to beg again, but Liu Cainu waved her hand, turned around, and said softly: "It's useless, don't beg anymore. I have never heard of anyone being sent to the death row. When I came here, I already knew this would be the result. The reason I want to try again is just because I am unwilling to give up."
She walked away, and Yuexiu hurriedly followed her, asking anxiously, "Is it really true that we can't meet again?"
Liu Cainv's face was gloomy, and no one knew what she was thinking. She did not respond to Yuexiu's words, but frowned slightly, quickened her pace, and went to Changning Palace after identifying the direction. Yuexiu vaguely saw calculation and resentment in Liu Cainv's eyes, but she couldn't figure out, at this point, could her master have any more cards up his sleeve?
Compared to Liu Cainu's scheming and scheming, her sister, Concubine Li, was much more timid. When the news of the Eighth Prince reached Changning Palace, she was so scared that she broke a teacup. Although that was not her son, and although it would be of great benefit to her son if the Eighth Prince really died, it was a life after all, and a nephew with a blood relationship with her, who was suddenly sentenced to death. This made Concubine Li a little dazed, and she even thought that if her Feng'er competed with the Ninth Prince for the throne one day, would he end up like this?
However, the trance lasted only a moment, and she soon reaffirmed her original idea. The only way to be free from the control of others and to no longer be inferior to others was to be the one who was in control of others and let everyone obey them. As long as her Feng'er could ascend to the throne, she would not have to be afraid of anything from now on. On the contrary, if someone else ascended to the throne, she and her Feng'er would have to live in fear for the rest of their lives.
Concubine Li was analyzing the situation when Liu Cainu arrived. Seeing her sister demoted again, Concubine Li no longer had the initial sarcasm, nor did she feel superior when she was reinstated as a concubine. She just asked her maid Zuo'er to help the person who was performing the ceremony stand up and gave him a seat, and then she asked, "Sister, why did you come to me instead of asking the emperor for mercy?" As soon as she asked this, she immediately thought that her sister was probably asking her to intercede for her, so she smiled bitterly, "Sister, you know how I got the position of concubine, and we know what position we hold in the emperor's heart now, so I really can't help you with this matter."
Liu Cainu looked at her and sighed softly, "I'm not asking for your help, but my son is about to die, and I feel sad. I think we are the only family in the palace, so I came to sit with you." As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the bracelet on Concubine Li's wrist. It was something she gave to her last time, and it was something left by the grandmother of the Liu family. Liu Cainu's expression moved slightly, but it was not easy for others to detect. She only heard faintly, "Grandmother is right. Our dispute is our business, but once it involves outsiders, we must unite to face the outside world. Now my Mo'er has lost, and lost miserably, and even lost his life. So from now on, I will do my best to help the Sixth Prince and you, my sister."
Concubine Li was stunned, and suddenly realized that Liu Cainv was here to express her feelings. The Eighth Prince was going to die, and the other party had no hope, so he set his sights on her Feng'er. But it was also good, having one more person to give advice was better than her being bored in the palace. So Concubine Li showed gratitude, took the initiative to step forward and hold Liu Cainv's hand, and said very sincerely: "Thank you sister for your willingness to plan for Feng'er. If Feng'er achieves great things one day, I will definitely not forget your help."
The two sisters held hands and chatted in Changning Palace for nearly two hours. The central idea of the topic was that whether the Sixth Prince wanted the throne or Feng Yuheng, the only obstacle was the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming. As long as the Ninth Prince was still there, no one else would have any chance.
Concubine Li agreed with this, but her maid Zuo'er was frightened when she heard it.
Finally, Liu Cainu took Yuexiu away, and Zuo'er quickly advised Concubine Li: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to what Liu Cainu said! If she was really a smart person and had the ability to help the prince ascend to the throne, she would not have ended up like this. You are a concubine now, and she is just a concubine. We can't use gold and jade to plot against tiles. No matter how you look at it, we will suffer a loss."
"I know." Concubine Li said with a sullen face, "I know her strengths and weaknesses, but in the end, I hope that the Sixth Prince can make further progress. If she is willing to help, then let her help. At worst, we can learn from Zhu Kongshan and put all the blame on her if anything happens in the future. It's like leaving a way out for ourselves. As for the person who can really help Feng'er ascend to the throne, it has to be Princess Ji'an."
Zuo'er's heart was in a knot again. Her master was not giving up. After all, he was still thinking about the development of the relationship between the Sixth Prince and Princess Yu. She sighed softly. This is the royal family! It is inevitable for the prince to seize the throne in every dynasty, right? "Princess Ji'an is already married." She told the facts weakly, but she no longer expected Concubine Li to listen. In Zuo'er's opinion, Concubine Li was already possessed, and it was useless for her to say anything.
As expected, Concubine Li didn't care at all about "Princess Ji'an is already married". She even borrowed Liu Cainu's words to teach Zuo'er: "People should look at the long-term. It's okay if she is married. As long as the person she married dies, she will be free again. I am not that kind of harsh mother-in-law. I will not treat her lightly just because she has been married. In the future, when she marries Feng'er, I will treat her as well as a new bride. She will slowly understand."
What do you know? Zuo'er thought, if Princess Ji'an heard such words, and heard Concubine Li curse the Ninth Prince to die soon, I'm afraid that given the princess' temper, she would have slapped him a long time ago, right? She sighed softly, "Your Majesty has been bewitched by Liu Cainu, so I can't say much. Just listen to your Majesty in everything!"
"Bewitched..." Concubine Li muttered to herself, as if she had grasped something, and suddenly said: "Zuo'er, you did remind me..."
