Chapter 372 Panic
The eldest princess bit her lip: "I... I heard that Jiang Zilan was in trouble. Is that right?"
Her eyes were very flustered.
Shen Chuliu knew what was going on at a glance, tsk…
It turns out that the eldest princess is not a pushover.
However, at this time Shen Chuliu did not know that Concubine Kang De had intervened.
"She will naturally not admit her guilt willingly after doing such a shameful thing. She will inevitably make some accusations at that time. The eldest princess is so precious that she cannot bear to hear such nonsense. If you accidentally hear it, just treat it as a dog barking. She is already like this, and it will only be worse if you slander the princess innocently." Shen Chuliu said with a smile.
The eldest princess was so nervous that she didn't understand. Her maid hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Thank you, Madam Jing Zhaoyi, for telling me. When our princess heard that something happened, she got nervous and didn't know what it was. Now that Madam Jing Zhaoyi has told me, I'm afraid these things are not something our princess should get involved in."
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "You are a wise man. Go back."
The eldest princess just now remembered that she forgot to say hello, and said awkwardly: "Thank you, Mother Jing."
Shen Chuliu smiled and went in, thinking that Concubine Jin was a fool, but she knew about the daughter she gave birth to.
When Shen Chuliu entered, the maidservant in front of Jiang Zilan was crying and complaining that she was threatened by Jiang Zilan: "I am a maidservant of the eldest princess, and I only take care of Miss Jiang. I didn't know about this before. I didn't dare to do what she asked me to do. Empress Zhen Chongyi testified for me that I cried and refused, and you only noticed it during the tug of war."
Zhen Chongyi nodded in agreement.
Shen Chuliu looked at the girl and thought that she might not be innocent, but no matter whether she was innocent or not, she would probably not escape death.
But Jiang Zilan was beaten to death by everyone.
When Shen Chuliu saw that the girl had finished her crying, she said, "The eldest princess didn't know what happened. She just heard that her study partner had something to do and came to see her."
Qi Yixiu looked at Shen Chuliu with a meaningful look, but didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Such a shameless person should be given a glass of poisoned wine." Empress Dowager Feng looked at Jiang Zilan as if she were trash.
Empress Dowager Li remained silent, which meant she agreed. After doing such a shameful thing, there was really no need for him to live.
Shen Chuliu looked at Jiang Zilan carefully. She was quite pretty, but too young.
In her opinion, this is still a child, how could he be so...
I don’t know what to say.
If she really drugged the emperor and this really happened, isn't she afraid of being killed?
"It's absolutely disgusting." Ning Zhaorong frowned and didn't want to look at Jiang Zilan any longer.
Indeed, this kind of thing is disgusting in the eyes of decent women, especially in ancient times.
"Haha." Qi Yixiu smiled softly: "I have always been lenient with them, but I didn't expect that they would become more and more cunning as time goes by."
This is about Princess Junyi's family.
"Send someone to tell my cousin what happened today." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
The fourth day of the New Year sighed.
Although it was still raining, we sent people back to Beijing without stopping.
It only took half a day to ride back to the capital from the palace.
Half a day later, at night, all the Jiang family members were there.
The tight-lipped guard just told the story of the palace once, then turned his horse around and went back to the palace.
But the Jiang family and Princess Junyi were already dumbfounded.
They knew it was over.
There was no time for anything else at the moment, not even enough time to go to the palace to apologize at night.
That night, Jiang Zilan was locked up in a woodshed in the palace and was given a bone-softening drug to prevent her from committing suicide.
Qi Yixiu arrived at Guanlan Pavilion and asked: "What are you hiding from me?"
Qi Yixiu's expression clearly meant that I have been lenient and did not ask you in front of everyone.
"Is that medicine really that kind of thing?" Shen Chuliu asked first.
The emperor nodded, sat down and waited for her answer.
"What can I hide? Your Majesty, you are right. The eldest princess must have done something, but she is a child, so the medicine was definitely not taken by her. I guess she said something. But she can't be blamed for this."
Shen Chuliu poured tea for the emperor: "I don't know how much you know about Jiang Zilan's temper. I have seen her being rude to the eldest princess many times. Not only the eldest princess, she is also rude to other princesses, except for the second princess who is the legitimate daughter of the queen. She also looks down on the third prince and the fifth prince."
This is to say clearly that Jiang Zilan looks down on anyone with a lower background.
"Why don't you speak for her?" Qi Yixiu snorted.
He didn't know that his eldest daughter was not very capable, but how could he be happy when he was schemed against by his own daughter?
"Look at what Your Majesty is like. I am not her biological mother, so I cannot speak fairly. If Your Majesty doesn't want to listen, I won't say anything." Shen Chuliu rolled her eyes at the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said neither good nor bad.
Shen Chuliu really didn't care much about it, as she was not her own daughter.
If it was her own child, she would have been dealt with the year Jiang Zilan first entered the palace. How could she have been allowed to run around for the past few years?
There's nothing disgusting about it.
"Is my beloved concubine angry?" Qi Yixiu thought about it for a while and then noticed that the room was unusually quiet, so he asked with a smile.
"I'm not angry, I'm just really disgusted today. Alas, I don't know what young girls nowadays are thinking." Shen Chuliu shook her head.
"Okay, there's no need to talk about this." Qi Yixiu himself felt very disgusted.
It's disgusting for a man to be plotted against. Moreover, although he doesn't have any feelings for Jiang Zilan as his niece, he does regard her as a junior.
How can this not be disgusting?
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu nodded: "It's getting late, shouldn't we rest?"
The emperor arrived late today and it was already time for bed.
Qi Yixiu nodded, then got up and prepared to go to bed.
The eldest princess was very uneasy.
It was the maid Jasmine who advised: "Princess, I'm afraid you didn't understand what Concubine Jing said today?"
The eldest princess looked at her and said, "I really don't understand."
"Your Majesty means that this matter has nothing to do with you. I think your Majesty is very smart and has figured out something. But what did we do? It was just a few words. The medicine was not prepared by us, and neither was the person. You just need to know nothing."
"Besides, the queen also said that if Jiang Zilan bites you out, it's just malicious. There's no need to alarm you. She will have another crime to frame the princess."
What Jasmine didn't say was that the Grand Duchess actually went to the Queen today to avoid scaring herself, and no one suspected her.
The eldest princess nodded slowly.
She thought that she had only said one sentence once when she was chatting with Jiang Zilan, just one sentence.
'Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, died young, so Empress Xiaohui was also pitiful.'
At that time, Jasmine just responded: That was Liu Ying's own destiny. If it were a more powerful dynasty or a more powerful monarch, Empress Xiaohui would have been a closer relative and would have lived a good life.
