Chapter 27 Demoted

You want to use your beauty to defeat her in her territory?

Sorry, when she shows this face, all the concubines in the palace will kneel down and call her daddy.

When it comes to killing people with beauty, she is second to none.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xinyue appeared, Emperor Xuanwu's eyes were glued to her, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh: Your Majesty, did he really just regard Zhen Fangyi as a substitute for Concubine Li when she was young?

Concubine De, Concubine Liang, Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong and others entered the palace at about the same time as Concubine Li, and they had all seen Concubine Li's appearance when she was young.

To be honest, they really couldn't say with a clear conscience that Zhen Fangyi was not as pretty as Concubine Li.

This girl is only fifteen years old, but she already has the peak beauty of Concubine Li when she was in her twenties. If she is given another five years, she will be even more beautiful than Concubine Li at that time.

Obviously, her appearance is better than Concubine Li, but now she is still young and her facial features have not fully grown, so everyone thinks she is a substitute for Concubine Li.

Wait and see, her honor and favor will be even higher than Concubine Li.

With the emperor around, Jiang Zhaoyi and others dare not vent their dissatisfaction in front of him, but just roll their eyes secretly.

Jiang Xinyue asked Xi Que to call all the eunuchs and palace maids who served in Hexi Palace, and stood them in a row, facing the corpse of Xiao Aijiang: "Tell me! Who used the meat and bones to lure Xiao Aijiang out of the palace while the master went to Yikun Palace to pay respects to the Empress?"

The scene was silent...

Shuangjiang had a cold face: "Do you really want me to check in the kitchen? Who took the meat and bones?"

So many eyes, so many masters, even the emperor and the empress were present, and the few servants who were being stared at, those who had done nothing wrong were swaying their legs, not to mention those who had done something wrong.

"Plop——"

a rough and unkempt eunuch knelt on the ground, trembling, and kowtowed violently on the ground: "Master, spare my life... Master, spare my life... It was... It was me... It was me who fed little Aijiang with meat bones, but I definitely did not harm little Aijiang, please understand!"

"Aijiang's food has always been the responsibility of Shuangjiang and I, why did you feed it? And the bone was found outside the door, and you still dare to quibble? Who instructed you? The Emperor and the Empress are here, and the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the nine generations of your clan, so think it over first."

Punishing nine generations of a person for a dog?

The emperor raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Xinyue, who looked away guiltily, not daring to look him in the face.

What's wrong?

Like master, like maid. What's wrong with cheating the eunuch?

The young eunuch didn't look like a veteran who often did bad things, otherwise he wouldn't have left such important evidence as bones at the gate of Hexi Palace.

In the cold autumn, a layer of cold sweat had already soaked his back, and his clothes were sticking to his back. The cold wind blew, and it was bone-chilling.

The young eunuch almost fainted, but Zhen Fangyi, who was very kind on weekdays, looked at him with a pair of cold eyes, and had no intention of letting him go.

His eyes were red, and he pointed his finger with a trembling hand... Jiang Zhaoyi.

Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Zhaoyi, who had a gloating expression on her face. Her smile froze on her face, and then she said angrily: "Zhen Fangyi, what do you mean by this?"

Jiang Xinyue ignored her and continued to stare at the eunuch: "Didn't you hear what Empress Zhaoyi asked? What do you mean by pointing at her?"

The eunuch closed his eyes and shrank: "It was Empress Zhaoyi... Empress Zhaoyi threatened me and asked me to lead Xiao Aijiang out. I really didn't know that Empress Zhaoyi would kill Xiao Aijiang."

Doing these things in secret, it's okay if she is not discovered. If she is discovered, everyone will despise her cruelty.

It's just a puppy that has no power to fight back. Is it necessary to use such a cruel method?

How dark and perverted must she be?

"You're talking nonsense!"

Jiang Zhaoyi's eyes widened: "I... I didn't kill it."

"You mean you admit that you asked him to lead the dog out?"

"I did, but I..."

Jiang Zhaoyi was extremely angry and quickly admitted what she had done, but soon clarified herself and knelt down at the feet of Emperor Xuanwu: "But Your Majesty, I just wanted to make the dog disappear for a while to make Zhen Fangyi anxious. I really didn't kill it."

"But it died during the time it disappeared. Regardless of whether Empress Zhaoyi killed it or not, it died because of you."

As soon as Jiang Xinyue finished speaking, Concubine Liang continued: "That's right. You can't shirk your responsibility just because you said you didn't kill it, right? If you didn't trick it out, would it have stayed in Hexi Palace and died?"

Emperor Xuanwu pulled back his dragon robe and kicked Jiang Zhaoyi to the ground: "Jiang Zhaoyi is vicious and unworthy of being a concubine. She will be demoted to Shunyi, a fifth-rank concubine, and moved to Xihe Palace, and confined for three months."

Suddenly, she went from being the third-rank Empress Zhaoyi to Jiang Shunyi, a fifth-rank concubine. Now she is on the same level as Jiang Xinyue's Zhenfangyi.

No!

Jiang Xinyue has the title of "Zhen", but Jiang Shunyi doesn't. Strictly speaking, she is not as noble as Jiang Xinyue.

"I remember that Xihe Hall was where Zhen Fangyi lived before. Didn't someone die there?"

"Who said it wasn't? The emperor wants to vent his anger on Zhen Fangyi, and there are many ways to do it."

Just because of a dog, ten years of hard work went to waste.

As long as Zhen Fangyi is favored, Jiang Shunyi will never be able to make a name for herself. It's really a loss.

Today, the emperor flipped the card of Concubine De, and Hexi Palace returned to peace.

Xi Que felt upset: "After all, human life is precious. Our Ai Jiang suffered such a tragic death, but Jiang Shunyi only demoted her position. It's really unfair."

"It's already good."

Jiang Xinyue sneered: "In the harem, nothing is more important than position. Demoting Jiang Shunyi is equivalent to taking half of her life."

"Did Jiang Shunyi really kill little Ai Jiang?"

Shuangjiang filled a cup of tea for her master: "She looks like she was really wronged."

Jiang Xinyue believed that she did not kill Ai Jiang.

She probably took Ai Jiang to a remote place because she didn't want them to find her. She thought that dogs would know the way and that if the palace servants found her, they would send her back to Hexi Palace. So she just left Ai Jiang behind and ignored her. But

she didn't expect that someone would take advantage of her situation and frame her.

But it was because she took Ai Jiang away with malicious intent that Ai Jiang was brutally killed, and the emperor punished her well.

Someone else killed Ai Jiang, but Jiang Xinyue didn't plan to tell Xi Que and Shuang Jiang, lest they feel uncomfortable. If

someone who did something bad is successfully framed, she can't just do it once, and she will be exposed sooner or later.
