Chapter 454 Mud
Soon, the Internal Criminal Department brought the people in. After the torture, they were cleaned up. Now they look OK.
As soon as she came in, the girl cried and explained that it was the people in the Baron Loyal and Brave's Mansion who asked them to do so.
"They said that Concubine Jing was short of staff, so my mother and I wanted to enter the palace. Maybe we could serve the emperor. I dare not do it anymore. Please spare my life, please spare my life, please spare my life, my lord!"
She didn't know what to say. She had never read a book in her life, so how could she have been in such a situation?
Her hometown was hit by a disaster. Her father died, her brother died, her younger brother and her younger sister died. She and her mother were the only ones left in the family. Both of them were blind and could not read a single word.
I was easily fooled, and now I really regret it. All I can do is cry and beg. How can I have any other thoughts? Qian Xiuyi's face changed drastically, and she knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, this... this is impossible, Concubine Jing, you... you hurt me, I am already Xiuyi, and you still hurt me..."
Shen Chuliu looked over calmly and said, "Think it over before you bite."
Qian Xiuyi paused, not daring to say anything more, and only begged the emperor: "Your Majesty, please understand, this is impossible. My brother...why would he do this?"
"Why else? Isn't this a trap for Concubine Jing? You have always been at odds with Concubine Jing, and now this happened not long after you came home to visit your parents. Tsk." Concubine Rong looked at her.
"No, no, no, it's impossible, I didn't, Your Majesty!
Qian Xiuyi was in a panic.
Her panic didn't seem fake.
"It's the fourth day of the New Year, have the people come back?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"In reply to the emperor, everyone is back." Chusi said.
Qi Yixiu nodded, and on the fourth day of the fourth month he called in two guards.
After the two men came in to pay their respects, they said, "Your Majesty, I have already found out that this was indeed done by Baron Zhongyong. In addition, many disaster victims have come and gone from their house in the past few months. This mother and daughter were also found by other disaster victims. Because they were good-looking, they were secretly taken care of and waited for the Queen Consort Jing to come to visit her parents. Because it was done secretly, no one knew about it."
Qian Xiuyi felt weak all over: "This is impossible..."
"In that case, send the Baron Loyal and Brave to the Ministry of Justice for trial. I see that he has not changed his ways despite repeated admonitions. He is not worthy of the words loyal and brave, so there is no need to keep his title." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
He came here firstly because of Lord Qian, but also because of other considerations. Unfortunately, these two siblings are really hopeless.
Qian Xiuyi fell to the ground, but did not dare to beg for mercy.
Shen Chuliu looked at her with even more contempt in his heart.
When her father had just passed away, she wore red and green to win favor, and she even used the excuse that women who entered the palace could not abide by the rules of their mother's family.
Now, no matter what, her brother did this, it was all for her, his sister.
Just imagine, if Shen Chuliu really brought a beauty back from the street to present to the emperor, would he still be able to keep his reputation?
But Qian Xiuyi is like this now, has she given up?
If she really gave up, her journey would end here.
However, it was not her who harmed anyone; it was their own fault.
You really don't need to worry about people who are eager to die.
"Qian Xiuyi, you have no talent or virtue, you are not worthy of being Xiuyi. From today on, you will be demoted to Concubine Jieyi. You don't need to raise the Tenth Prince anymore, take him to Ruiqing Palace immediately, and you don't have to see him in the future without my order." Qi Yixiu said indifferently.
With a woman like this, there is no need to think too much about what kind of children she will raise.
"Your Majesty! Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I really didn't know about this matter. Your Majesty..." Qian Xiuyi, oh no, it was already Qian Jieyu.
Concubine Qian cried and begged for mercy, but Qi Yixiu just stood up and said: "If Concubine Qian is not worthy of you, there will always be beauties and talented people who are worthy of you."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, your concubine..." Concubine Qian looked at Qi Yixiu's cold expression and finally did not dare to say anything more: "Your concubine thanks you."
Qi Yixiu left Fengzao Palace, and everyone respectfully saw the emperor off.
The Queen said, "Qian Jieyu, I hope you can remember the lesson this time and don't make the same mistake again in the future."
"Yes." Concubine Qian wanted to say that she was not wrong, but she didn't dare to.
After all, she was of humble origin, and although she was arrogant after entering the palace, the successive demotions had shattered her confidence.
Shen Chuliu shook her head gently, too lazy to say anything more. After the Queen finished speaking, they all went their separate ways.
In Yongning Palace, Concubine Qian could not live in the main hall this time.
Xue Xiaoyi stood in the corridor and watched them carry away the crying Tenth Prince. Someone also urged Concubine Qian to move.
Not only her, but also her maids, were not as powerful as before and were packing up their things in dejection.
Xue Xiaoyi breathed a sigh of relief: "In the future, it's time to change the world in Yongning Palace."
Xue Xiaoyi was very proud, but Concubine Qian was naturally distraught.
The tenth prince was taken to Ruiqing Palace and settled next to the ninth prince's courtyard.
In Cuiyunxuan, Yao Baolin couldn't help laughing: "It's rare to rush to death."
Shen Chuliu shook her head: "There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe these two siblings have both reached high positions at a young age, and they haven't received enough discipline or guidance."
"It is said that the young master of the Qian family has been sent to the Ministry of Justice. We don't know what has happened to him yet."
Before, you could call him Lord Qian or address him by his title.
now……
Since you have no title, no official position, and are not very old, just call him Young Master.
When this title is applied to him, it is really just ridicule.
That night, Concubine Qian fell ill. No matter whether she was angry or for some other reason, she was sick anyway.
The young master of the Qian family was naturally beaten, but it was good that the emperor did not send him into exile for the sake of his father's face.
But he will never be able to make a breakthrough again in the future.
Without official position and title, there is no salary, and from then on, how to live becomes a problem.
And Concubine Qian in the palace hates him now. If he hadn't done this, she wouldn't have been demoted or unable to raise her children.
No one knows what will happen to the Qian family in the future.
The young master of the Qian family is not very old, but he already has seven or eight children...
For such a large family, expenses are a problem.
A few days later, news came that the Qian family's grandmother and the Qian family's son had divorced...
Everyone was still laughing at him, but after a few days, his concubine quit.
Those who had some family background all tried to find a way out.
Some take the children away, while others don’t want any children at all.
Concubine Qian is now the number one laughing stock in the palace.
After she recovered from her illness, every time she came to pay her respects, she would be greeted with a question: "I heard that your brother's concubine has left again?" As time went by, Concubine Qian even forgot to hate Shen Chuliu, and only hated her disappointing brother.
But after all, it was the New Year and no one had the energy to stare at her.
All those who were supposed to visit their relatives have gone, and as New Year's Eve is approaching, everyone is busy.
The last batch of clothes of this year has arrived for Shen Chuliu.
She put them away after trying them on, and wore them every day during the first month of the year without repeating them.
Emperor: I am truly blind.
Qian Jieyu: If you can’t help me up, I lose.
