Chapter 189 Unaware
"Empress, although it is true, I knew nothing about this matter. Your Majesty, please be wise!" Concubine Feng's face turned pale, and it was unclear whether she was scared because the truth was revealed or because she really knew nothing.
"Your Majesty, Empress, I dare not. I am not a concubine!" Concubine Feng knelt there, her whole body weak, and she just cried and begged.
"Empress Dowager Feng is here! Empress Dowager Li is here!" the eunuchs outside sang in unison.
Concubine Feng visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Yixiu looked at Concubine Feng with cold eyes. He said nothing but stood up to greet them: "The two mothers are here."
"What happened? I just found out. How is Jing Xiuyuan? How is the child?" Empress Dowager Feng walked straight past the kneeling Concubine Feng Shu and came to Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu stood up and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager Feng for your concern. I am fine. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. Otherwise, not only the heir to the throne, but I would also have died."
"Why are you saying such unlucky words? What's going on? Concubine Feng, tell me!" Empress Dowager Li sat down angrily.
"It's not me, it's not... Empress Dowager, aunt, it's not me..." Concubine Feng said nervously.
"Okay." Qi Yixiu said calmly: "Whatever the truth is, send your two servants to the Internal Criminal Department. Tell Chen Sizheng that if the Taoist dies this time, his life will end."
"There must be some misunderstanding. How could Su Xin do such a thing?" Empress Dowager Feng was also anxious: "Two people are courting death. Why don't you tell me what's going on?"
Yuchan's forehead had been bruised from knocking her head, and now she half-knelt and half-crawled forward, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. It was Wang Bao who used me. It is true that Chen Si and I are from the same hometown, but we have no friendship. I don't even know the dead eunuch. I am innocent. It was all Wang Bao who did it. He was resentful of the fact that the master punished him with a stick three months ago, so he framed the master. That's why he is so desperate!"
"It's really ridiculous. Is there anyone who would frame his master and not want to kill himself? Where did that poison come from? How could a eunuch get it?" Li Chongrong snorted.
"Sister Feng has always been intolerant, but this time she is too cruel." Concubine Kangde shook her head.
"Shut up, everyone." Qi Yixiu said calmly, "Does the Queen Mother have anything to say?"
Qi Yixiu was asking about Empress Dowager Feng.
"If it was Su Xin who did it, I have nothing to say, but how could Su Xin do it? And there is the Second Prince. She doesn't want her own life, so does she not care about the Second Prince?" Empress Dowager Feng sighed, "Su Xin is incompetent and can't manage her subordinates, but these servants are too bold. Wang Bao, tell me, are you looking for death because you hate your master? Speak nicely, you are doomed, and you have a family to take care of! Think it over!"
These words sound like a threat no matter how you listen to them, but when they are said in public, they are impeccable.
Wang Bao was shaking from the beginning, and compared to Yu Chan who was crying for mercy, he never said a word.
Only then did he speak: "It was... it was done by me, it was done by me... Concubine Feng treated me like ants and beat and scolded me at every turn. I really couldn't stand it! I just knocked over a vase, and it wasn't even broken, but I was given forty strokes of the cane. I was really angry!"
"Yuchan is not innocent either! Although the servant is using her hand, she also resents the master! The master is afraid of her good looks and has never allowed her to stand out! So she hates the master more than the servant. Especially after Su Baolin became favored, Yuchan often said this!"
"You are talking nonsense, I didn't do that! I didn't do that!" Yu Chan was shocked.
"You are such a heartless person!" Empress Dowager Feng said angrily, "Don't you know what a sin it is to betray your master? How dare you be so bold!"
"Take them to the Internal Criminal Department." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
Chusi agreed and quickly took the two people away.
Concubine Feng could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least Wang Bao said he did it, so there was always room for him to go back on his word.
"Su Xin, you are the master, and I am really disappointed that you cannot discipline your servants! Look at your negligence, it almost caused a big accident! I was so anxious that I almost fainted! If anything happens to Jing Xiuyuan, won't you make me unable to live as a human being for the rest of my life?" Empress Dowager Feng said angrily.
"Yes, aunt, it is my fault, but I really didn't know it. Woohoo, I will definitely discipline them in the future and won't dare to make such a mistake again. Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
She cried hesitantly and looked really scared.
But why she felt so scared, only she knew.
"Mother, I cannot tolerate Concubine Feng's mistake. Considering that she raised the second prince, I will not demote her. But if I don't punish her at all, I will find it difficult to convince the people." Qi Yixiu said.
Empress Dowager Feng breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought that he would be demoted.
"Of course I should. Even if the emperor doesn't say it, I will say it. Su Xin is really impatient and should be severely punished."
"Since the Queen Mother also means this, I will punish Concubine Feng by not letting her hang up the plaque for a year, and she will have to follow the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures for three months." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
Concubine Feng Shu was completely relieved: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Fortunately, fortunately it is just like this. With the Second Prince, she is finally protected.
Qi Yixiu glanced at her and said, "Concubine Feng, if this happens again, I will never tolerate it again."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never indulge the servants again." Concubine Feng said hurriedly.
"I'm tired." Empress Dowager Li stood up, obviously very unhappy.
The queen stood up hurriedly and said, "I will take you back."
"Well, Ayun can go out with me. You don't have to see her off." said Empress Dowager Li.
Empress Dowager Feng also stood up: "I am leaving too. Alas, I am also worried about Jing Xiuyuan. I am really scared."
Having said that, they went out together.
Qi Yixiu walked them to the door and said, "Everyone go back. Jing Xiuyuan stay for a while."
Just now, Shen Chuliu began to think about how she was going to end this matter.
At this moment, she finally figured it out. So she bowed gently and said, "I will take my leave first. The emperor is busy with government affairs, and I dare not disturb him."
Having said that, he walked away leisurely.
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, just looked at her back and shook his head slightly.
He didn't believe that Shen Chuliu didn't understand why he let it go.
However, Qi Yixiu knew in his heart that she must be very angry after encountering these things.
It's good that you can consider the overall situation and not make a fuss. It doesn't matter if you are shown the cold shoulder now.
In the afternoon, Chu Si came back from the Internal Criminal Department and said, "Your Majesty, Yu Chan really doesn't know a lot of things. She and Chen Si are a couple. Wang Bao used this to easily stuff the medicine into Yu Chan's purse and gave it to Chen Si. Chen Si then gave the medicine to the eunuch who hanged himself."
"Well, so the eunuch who was hanged didn't know about it?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty, I am aware of this, but I don't think it is so serious."
