Chapter 681: Poor
He Fei stopped talking.
Shen Chuliu smiled again: "If you have nothing to say, then I will leave. I will see you off someday."
"Have you ever regretted anything? Or...something that made you particularly sad, or something that made you particularly angry?" He Fei asked.
"Maybe, but I don't care anymore." Shen Chuliu said.
"Why don't you care? Because your son became the crown prince?" Concubine He said sarcastically.
"Because it's not worth it. I'm always moving forward and looking ahead. But you're always stuck in the past." Shen Chuliu looked back at her: "Also, you're the only one who will die like this. Although Concubine Li De did some things, she gave birth to two princes, and now the princes are grown up, the emperor won't do anything to her. In the end, you only dragged Zhen Chongyi to accompany you. You couldn't even pull away a stupid person like Concubine Qian Shu. Because although she was stupid, she was really lucky. And I was lucky not to be poisoned to death."
"Can I still see the emperor?" Concubine He asked again.
"Of course not. When you can make things happen with a wave of your hand, the emperor is just your pawn. How could he see you?" Shen Chuliu walked away with a smile.
She really had nothing to feel bad about. It was really Su He who did it. It was an accident, but also not a surprise.
Su He is indeed an unfortunate person, but misfortune is not a reason or excuse for her to harm others.
Su He just became the person he hated the most.
"Master, are you feeling okay?" Xinlu asked.
"No, I think about it again. Some people, like Shen Biyu, repented before her death, and I forgave everything. Some people, after doing evil to the end, simply bear the consequences, such as Liu and An. But what about Su He? She is unwilling and does not want to bear the consequences. At this point, what's the point of seeing the emperor?"
"Perhaps, she hopes that the emperor can let her go?" Suihong said.
"Then do you think the emperor will let her go?" Shen Chuliu smiled.
"No, I don't think so. This matter cannot be made a big deal because it involves the two Empress Dowagers and many people in the past. So Concubine He can only die of illness. This is considered to be giving her the full face. How could the Emperor let her go?" Suihong shook her head.
"Yes, the master also said that Concubine Li De would not be implicated. This is already considered leniency. Letting her go is a good idea on her part." Xinlu also said.
They hated her so much. If it weren't for her, the master wouldn't be so weak.
Shen Chuliu brought the maids back to Yufu Palace.
After Concubine He in Leshou Palace knew everything, any hope of doing good that she had left disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, she didn't even know what expression to make. Unfortunately, no one was paying attention to her.
Her servants were in chaos, and the entire Leshou Palace was under guard. The only news released to the outside world was that Concubine He was seriously ill and might be contagious.
The maids who knew some of the inside story were trembling with fear. Two maids even hanged themselves that night to avoid being sent to the Internal Criminal Department.
The body was carried out early the next morning, which seemed to confirm that Concubine He's disease was contagious.
In the palace, whether true or false, there was a sense of panic.
When Shen Chuliu went to Fengzao Palace to pay her respects, many people wanted to ask her, but no one dared.
Now that Concubine Qian Shu had done this, she remained even more silent.
Princess Reed was also afraid, so she naturally didn't dare to say much, for fear of saying something wrong.
The Queen said, "Early this morning, the Imperial Physician sent word that Concubine He was not feeling well. You went to see her yesterday. How was she?"
Shen Chuliu said: "To answer your Majesty, it is not very good, and it is difficult to get up."
The Queen said solemnly: "If this is the case, we must prepare."
He Zhaoyi couldn't hold back: "If that's the case, then the Imperial Concubine shouldn't go. This is a contagious disease."
Everyone who understood just looked at her like a fool.
Not understanding is also a way of expressing agreement.
Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "How could I know yesterday? Besides, only those who serve her day and night are in danger. I was far away and only watched."
"Alas, this is the fate of Concubine He. She has just become Concubine He, but has not yet been properly canonized." Concubine Ning sighed.
But only she herself knows how uncomfortable it is.
"That's right, so pitiful." Concubine Shun also sighed.
The queen's eyes flickered. "Let's prepare first. But if her disease is highly contagious, I'm afraid it will cause trouble later."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Her Majesty." Shen Chuliu said.
Some people understood, some did not.
Princess Kelide is a smart person, how could she not understand the meaning of these words?
if……
If the disease was contagious, Concubine He would not be allowed to stay in the palace for a moment after her death and would have to be sent away immediately.
If this is the case, can she still enter the imperial concubine's mausoleum? Concubine Li De naturally knew that Concubine He could not have fallen ill for no reason, so this was the emperor's intention.
The Queen also knows it.
Now it seems that the imperial concubine also knows about it.
She sighed in her heart, they were the same people before, but now that the imperial concubine's son is the prince, they are no longer the same people.
After greeting each other, people formed pairs of three or five and went to talk.
Who wouldn’t be curious about what happened in Leshou Palace?
Yao Chongyuan followed Shen Chuliu. She didn't ask anything, but she could guess something without asking.
Even though there is some curiosity, it is not important.
She had suffered so much, how could she repeat the same mistakes now? If she didn't ask, Shen Chuliu would naturally not say anything.
On the night of June 29th, Su was completely unable to get up or speak.
But she was still conscious.
She had naturally tried to ask someone to invite the emperor, or to call the fifth princess back, but unfortunately, no one in Leshou Palace could leave.
Now that things have come to this, no matter how unwilling I am, what can I do? I can't even scream.
Regret, fear, unwillingness, helplessness, despair, and hatred, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, coupled with her body corroded by poison, how could she now be seen as the stunning Su He of the past? She looked more like a ghost.
But no matter how beautiful or ghostly it was, no one could see it.
She cursed and cried in her heart, but she could no longer see clearly.
The words that woman said kept repeating in my ears: You are so pitiful.
She really hated this sentence.
She had worked hard for half her life just to avoid being pitied. How could she be pitiful? She had a stunning face and the emperor's favor. How could she be pitiful? She was not pitiful.
They are pitiful, they are the ones who are played around by her! What about the Queen Mother? What about the concubine? Aren't they all being dealt with by her? Yes, she has no son, but she is still the winner.
She could even "see" that she had personally killed all those who had bullied her. Killed them all! Su He's face became increasingly pale, and her expression became increasingly distorted. Her eyes, which had lost focus, were filled with a crazy smile.
