Chapter 512 Death
"I am the emperor. Why should I remember the names of each of you? Doing evil is doing evil, so why do you have so many reasons? You are just making excuses for yourself. For these, you become hideous, so what qualifications do you have for me to remember?"
Qi Yixiu looked at the people below and said, "Since you have nothing to say, I will grant you your wish. I will grant you death. Also, your An family will not be able to escape."
Wen Chongrong knelt down but did not beg for mercy, knowing it was useless.
"Since you care so much about whether I remember you, then you don't have to remember there is an An in the harem in the future. I feel disgusted." Qi Yixiu's words were still light, but it made Wen Chongrong's expression even uglier.
These words were naturally a blow to Wen Chongrong, but after so many blows, he seemed to have become numb.
Qi Yixiu looked at her a few more times and said, "Send her to Beigongyuan and sentence her to death. From now on, no one in the palace is allowed to mention An Shi again. No one is allowed to mention Wen Chongrong either. The Eighth Prince's biological mother is someone else. If anyone dares to say anything more, they will be punished the same as An Shi."
The Queen stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely give him a good beating."
Everyone hurriedly said yes.
Wen Chongrong was dragged out like this, and so were her two palace maids, who could not escape death.
In Beigong Garden, Wen Chongrong was sitting in a dilapidated pavilion very close to Lengcui Pavilion.
She is no longer Wen Chongrong, but just a useless person who is about to be sentenced to death.
Soon, someone brought poisoned wine. There was no choice but to drink poisoned wine.
An's face was pale and her lips were trembling. At this point, she was just a mortal who was afraid of death.
"Please come in. We have to maintain our last bit of dignity." It would be too ugly if he drank it.
An picked up the glass of wine with shaking hands. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She wanted to throw the glass away, but there was still a pot on the table.
What would happen if she threw him away? She would still die? She took a deep breath, the fear of death made her whole body tremble, she gasped heavily, her lips trembled, and she couldn't say a word.
She closed her eyes, raised her head and drank the cup of poisoned wine, then threw the cup away. It broke into dozens of pieces on the ground, but she didn't even bother to look at it. Instead, she picked up the wine pot like crazy and poured it down her stomach desperately.
If she's going to die, she'd better die quickly. She doesn't want to suffer anymore.
In less than half an hour, An was gone.
The imperial edict was issued and the entire An family was executed.
Fortunately, it was just the main family, and the younger children were just selling.
In Taiji Palace, Qi Yixiu met the imperial physician.
"Miss Li's injuries, the scar on her forehead is probably irreparable. The scar on her cheek is fine though, it can be healed with proper care and application of medicine."
"What's the best situation for the forehead?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"This...if you take good care of it, it will fade a lot in two or three years." But it is impossible to get rid of it completely.
"Go down." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
After asking, Qi Yixiu went about his own business.
The Queen has already warned the people in Ruiqing Palace that no one is allowed to mention An again.
It just so happens that the Eighth Prince is now stupid. He recognizes his own mother when he sees her, but he never sees her and never mentions her for half a month or a month.
Now that his wet nurses pity him and treat him well, he wants to think about it even less.
The princes and princesses all knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say anything.
The main reason is that the Eighth Prince is a little fool and can't stop anyone, so there is no need to make things difficult for him.
For the eighth prince, losing the An family is actually not a bad thing.
At least he can grow up more safely.
After such a major event, the harem naturally became much more stable.
When paying respects to the Fengzao Palace, Li Zhaoyi, who had not been out for a long time, also came. She finally came out after a short period of confinement.
However, the slap Shen Chuliu gave her last time was too stimulating, so she didn't dare to provoke Shen Chuliu.
Just when they were paying their respects, the imperial edict came down.
Zhen Xiaoyi restored Zhen Chongyi to her original form and then moved to Changqiuxuan.
I originally thought that this restoration was not just a restoration, but also a promotion. But now it seems that it is good enough that the emperor has restored him.
Changqiuxuan, where is that? That's where Wen Chongrong, who was just sentenced to death, lived.
What does it mean? Is this a reminder to her? Don't follow An's old path.
The emperor's displeasure was clearly written on his face. Even after being restored to the throne, Zhen Chongyi did not show any sign of being happy.
Just trying to look happy.
However, this was a good thing for her. After all, her position was restored. After all, she was one of the ninth concubines, so at least her grievances were cleared.
But anyone with a discerning eye knows that there are many strange things in this matter.
The fact that Zhen Chongyi poisoned the Eighth Prince was already questionable. Regardless of whether she was wrongly accused or not, she would not die as long as Empress Dowager Li was around.
Now that An has admitted the matter, Zhen Chongyi has been cleared of the charges.
But it was still strange because Xingzhi and Xingye did not explain the details of the matter clearly.
That means they don't know.
Therefore, the emperor still restored Zhen Chongyi to the throne for the sake of the empress dowager's face, but it was just a restoration.
As for the matter of framing the empress dowager, although An admitted it, it always made people feel that it was too simple.
For example, was the Ninth Prince's injury really an accident? Was this accident too coincidental?
It rained heavily, the Ninth Prince was injured, the Queen Mother was frightened, and Miss Li was injured.
Is all this really so easily arranged?
But now, the evidence is all here, so for now, it can only be An's.
Therefore, when the emperor still issued an edict to directly grant Li Qiushui a marriage with the second prince, people in the harem were not surprised.
Everyone knows that Li Qiu Shui is disfigured, but her identity is important. Even if she is disfigured, she is still the bond between the Li family and the Feng family.
If we abandon Li Qiu Shui now, there will never be another suitable candidate.
Moreover, the girl of the Li family was well-fed, but she was ruined after entering the palace. How could the royal family save their reputation? Therefore, this marriage must be granted.
Outsiders didn't know the specifics of what was going on in the palace, so there were many people praising the emperor. After all, in this day and age, a filial emperor who cared about his stepmother always made people feel at ease.
But how much filth and dirt is hidden in this happy event? As long as it is not exposed to the sun, who can know? However, the second prince is not too old yet. The imperial decree for marriage has been issued, but the specific date has not been set.
I think we have to wait until the eldest princess gets married.
It will take at least two years.
During these two years, Li Qiu Shui was able to recuperate from her injuries, so it would be a good thing if she could recover better.
In Ci'an Palace, Empress Dowager Li called Li Qiushui.
"Good boy, does it hurt a lot?" asked the Queen Mother.
"It doesn't hurt that much." Li Qiushui sat down: "Is my great aunt feeling better?"
"I'm fine, I just coughed a little because of the rain. Good boy, I'm sorry for making you feel wronged, good face...ah..."
Okay, An is offline. There was a paragraph missing in the previous chapter, so I’m filling it in. The beginning seems like it’s repeated, but it’s not.
