Chapter 161: Banished to the Cold Palace 1
The candlelight in the hall was dim, making Song Zhaoyan's beautiful face flicker.
There was no expression on her face, and she simply asked casually, "Have you asked about what she confessed?"
Xiao Fuzi explained one by one, "She confessed that Shu Fei had given the emperor aphrodisiac perfume to win his favor;
He had attempted to murder the former Concubine Yi by pushing her off a rockery to make it look like an accident;
And... just as the Empress had speculated before, Shu Fei's pregnancy was not going to be saved, and the sachet containing the herb was also placed in the Empress's palace by her in order to frame the Empress;
Then there was the snake disaster in Meiyuan last winter, which was also carefully arranged by Shu Fei with the intention of murdering Chen Fei. There are many more..."
"I understand." Song Zhao raised his hand to signal Xiao Fuzi not to continue. "No matter which of these things happened, she will completely lose the chance to turn things around. It's time for her to end this drama."
Xiao Fuzi replied, "She has done many evil things. She deserves the fate she has today. She cannot blame anyone else. She has been taken to Chaoyang Palace and is being tried by the Emperor himself."
Song Zhao nodded silently, but there was no big ripple in his heart.
Very strange,
Toppling Shu Fei should have been a gratifying thing, but Song Zhao was not as happy as he had imagined.
On the contrary, I feel a little tired.
If pregnancy and childbirth happen in an ordinary wealthy family, the pregnant woman only needs to lie down and rest, without having to do any work, and she lives a very comfortable life.
But after entering the palace,
Entering the most honorable place in the world,
But even to give birth to a child successfully, one has to rack one's brains and take great pains.
It's really ridiculous.
Later, Xiao Fuzi said, "Your Majesty has trapped the Queen with a trick, and has also taken down Concubine Shu in one fell swoop. Your Majesty did this for the sake of the safe birth of the heir in the future. But Concubine Chen has gained power because of this. With her cruel heart, Your Majesty is very close to her, and I am worried..."
"She won't." Song Zhao said firmly, "Even if she wants to do something to me, it will be after my baby is born safely. She is cruel, but she won't do anything to the heir to the throne. If she wanted to do something, I'm afraid the queen would have had an accident long ago."
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Fuzi, who was puzzled, and said slowly: "Haven't you noticed? Ever since the Queen got pregnant, the smell of the powder on Concubine Yun's body has changed.
I guess that the perfumed powder she used before might have an adverse effect on the Queen's heart disease.
Concubine Chen always believed that her child was killed by the Queen, so she secretly joined forces with Concubine Yun and asked her to apply that kind of perfume powder and walk around in front of the Queen every day, causing the Queen's heart disease to become incurable.
But now, the scent has changed, which means that Concubine Chen and Concubine Yun have temporarily stopped. "
Song Zhao lowered his eyebrows and gently stroked his belly, which was already showing signs of pregnancy, and said coldly:
"She couldn't even bear to kill the Queen's child, not to mention that she and I have never had a blood feud."
Xiao Fuzi sighed and said, "She finally softened her heart."
"When has she ever been soft-hearted?" Song Zhao sneered and shook his head, saying jokingly and regretfully:
"She just loves the emperor too much."

At the same time, in Chaoyang Palace.
The atmosphere in the huge main hall was solemn and murderous.
Xiao Jingheng sat upright in the first seat, his brows showing majesty without even being angry.
Down the hall,
Shu Fei was wearing a plain dress, took off her hairpin, and knelt quietly, bearing her guilt.
In front of her was the testimony written in Qingyue's blood.
The confession was so detailed that Shu Fei had no time to refute it.
Now that things have come to this, she simply accepted her fate and was no longer afraid.
Of course, all these evil deeds need to be confessed by her in person.
So Xiao Jingheng suppressed his anger and asked her, "When you were still a concubine, you and Concubine Yi were as close as sisters. Why did you kill her?"
Shu Fei said in a cold tone: "Because she found out that I put aphrodisiacs in the emperor's wine. So she must die."
Xiao Jingheng shuddered,
He had never thought that the person in front of him, who looked the gentlest and most peaceful in the harem, could talk about murder so casually.
"I treat you well! When I first ascended the throne, you and Concubine Chen were my favorites. Why do you still have to use such despicable means to win my favor?"
Shu Fei sneered a few times, raised her eyebrows and looked directly at the emperor.
"Is Your Majesty doting on me? Your Majesty just feels that he can't control his emotions when he's with me, and he just enjoys the pleasure under my crotch! I know that I'm plain-looking and have no strengths, but my admiration for Your Majesty is real."
The smile on her face gradually froze, and her eyes became empty as she recalled the past.
"I always remember the first time I met the emperor. At that time, the emperor was still a prince and I was only thirteen years old. The emperor taught me calligraphy by hand. At that time, I felt that the emperor's hand was so strong and warm, as if holding my hand, he could hold my heart.
I have liked the emperor since then. Later, when I learned that the emperor had chosen me to be a concubine in the palace, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep for several nights. But what will happen after entering the palace?
After entering the palace, the emperor treated the empress with courtesy and favored the concubine Chen. Even the concubine Yao, whose family background was not as good as mine, was favored by the emperor because of her graceful figure. Does the emperor still remember me? If I hadn't used those aphrodisiacs, I'm afraid the emperor would not even look at me now! "
Her words were bitter, but they couldn't win Xiao Jingheng's sympathy for a moment.
On the contrary, Xiao Jingheng felt that what she said was like a huge joke.
"So you think I'm ignoring you, so you can drug me, right?"
"What else? Why does His Majesty blame me now?" Shu Fei was completely desperate. She didn't even try to cover up and asked Xiao Jingheng shamelessly,
"Your Majesty, when you were on top of me, and your dragon-like posture was trembling, weren't you also extremely happy? And didn't you say that I was the one you loved most in your life?"
"presumptuous!"
Xiao Jingheng, whose veil was torn off, was extremely furious and shouted at Shu Fei to stop talking.
"You have obtained these favors by despicable means, and you are satisfied?"
Shu Fei just smiled bitterly and shook her head.
“But in the end, what did I get?”
Xiao Jingheng's eyes darkened as he continued to ask, "You colluded with Xiao Guiren's former maid and added snake grass into the sachets that Xiao Guiren gave to the concubines. You also ordered Qingyue to trip up Chen Fei in the chaos in order to take her life? How did Chen Fei provoke you, a vicious woman?" (Chapter 68)
"Where has she not provoked me?!"
Shu Fei, who was originally quite calm, suddenly became excited, and her voice rose several degrees.
"Since I had a miscarriage, she is the one who has ridiculed me the most in the palace! She humiliates me every day and makes me suffer shame every day. Your Majesty knows all this! But have you ever asked me about it?"
Xiao Jingheng frowned, "So? So you're going to kill her?"
"That's right! I just want her to die! God is watching what people do, and she won't get a good retribution. It was winter, and I searched everywhere and finally found two short-tailed vipers. But at the end of the day, a pit viper appeared, which was more poisonous than the short-tailed viper! Haha! Who knows if it's not that the Concubine Chen has done so many evil things that even God can't stand it and is eager to take this bitch away!" (Highlight the key points, which will be used in the updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.)
