"Your Majesty, please spare me, for the sake of my father and brother's efforts to save you..."
Concubine Yu's eyes rolled, and she knelt forward and kowtowed to Emperor Jian'an.
With tears flowing, Concubine Yu choked and said, "I know that my crimes are extremely serious, and I dare not ask for your majesty's favor anymore, but I hope you can show mercy and give me a chance to atone for my crimes!"
"I will definitely behave well and will never let Your Majesty down. Please, please!"
Atone for sins with merits? Emperor Jian'an thought about it for a moment and felt that this method was feasible.
Before she could agree, there was a commotion outside the door again, and Concubine Xian and the Queen came in hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder.
Just now, they had been waiting by the door to watch the show. When they saw Yu Fei saving herself, they knew that it was time for them to make their appearance.
"Xianfei, Queen, please help me beg His Majesty!"
Concubine Yu grabbed onto the corner of Concubine Xian's clothes with a humble pleading look in her eyes, but was kicked away by the Queen.
"You killed Huilan's daughter, and you still have the nerve to ask her to let you go? Do you think Huilan is a fool who is easy to bully?"
...
...
"In the past, if you hadn't led those people to sow discord between us sisters, we wouldn't have been alienated. So why should we save you?"
Faced with the queen's ridicule, Yuqin was speechless, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
"By the way, I have something important to report, and it is also related to Concubine Yu. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
The virtuous concubine bowed deeply, then stood up, took out an envelope from her bosom, and presented it to Emperor Jian'an with both hands.
Clapping their hands, a pair of little palace maids fumbled forward, their legs went weak and they knelt down, their small bodies trembling as they prostrated themselves on the ground.
As Emperor Jian'an read the letter, his expression became increasingly grim.
Then, he slammed the table, pointed at Concubine Yu's nose and cursed, "So, you have long wanted to kill the little princess, and you even used the excuse of curing an illness! Who did you want to poison by putting poison powder in the food in Weirui Palace?"
"Look carefully at each case one by one. The evidence is irrefutable and you cannot argue with it!"
After taking the letter, Concubine Yu was frightened at a glance, and her eyes cut into the little palace maid's face like a knife.
It’s all her fault for not being able to judge people well. She was betrayed time and time again by those around her. How hateful, how hateful!
[Alas, who taught you to be selfish and treat servants as sacrifices? Life is not life? ]
[If you are cold-blooded towards them, they will certainly be more careful towards you. People are made of flesh and blood, and they know what it means to seek benefits and avoid harm! ]
Su Lili shook her head, still feeling no sympathy at all. After all, she was the one being tortured and bullied, and she almost lost her life because of it.
"Empress Yu, you really disappoint me, you vicious woman, vicious woman!"
Emperor Jian'an slammed the table hard, gritted his teeth, and sighed helplessly.
Although he really wanted to order the death penalty, after all, he had been rewarded for saving the emperor, and he had no choice.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, I beg you, wuwuwuwuwu..."
"I will never dare to do that again, never again!"
Yuqin in front of him was still crying, her disfigured face was covered with tears and looked extremely ugly.
"Well, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. Concubine Yuqin and Yuqin will be demoted to noble lady Yu, and they will be confined to Ziwei Palace and not allowed to go out, as a warning to others!"
After a while, Emperor Jian'an's lazy voice finally broke through the air, with deep fatigue.
After he finished speaking, Concubine Xian and the Queen looked at him in shock. After making such a big mistake, he was only demoted and confined to his room?
The little princess almost died in her hands!
"Your Majesty, this, this..."
The Queen was not convinced and opened her mouth to speak, but Emperor Jian'an just waved his hand irritably and said, "I have made up my mind. Everyone, go away."
He wanted to persuade her again, but he heard Su Lili's inner voice.
[Alas, after all, my father is very cautious and worried that loyal people will be discouraged, which will affect the stability of the court and the country. ]
[Father is in a high position, so he really has no choice! ]
Yes, he had no choice. Emperor Jian'an looked at Su Lili for a moment longer and couldn't help being moved.
Unexpectedly, the person who understands him the most is this baby.
"I thank your majesty for your grace. I understand that your majesty still has me in his heart..."
Yu Guiren knelt down crying and kowtowed weakly, "Your Majesty, I respectfully send you off, the Concubine, and the Empress!"
As he watched the group leave, hatred once again welled up in his eyes and his teeth were gritting.
It is said that those who survive a disaster will be blessed in the future. I have finally escaped a disaster, and I must find a way to avenge myself!
"Someone, come quickly, drag these two traitorous slaves away and beat them to death!"
"yes!"
Soon, the palace maid came and dragged away the little palace maid who wrote the letter to complain.
Immediately afterwards, shrill screams were heard from outside the door, each one sharper than the last.
Concubine Yu's eyes became gloomy again. She stepped forward and grabbed Zhu'er's neck tightly.
The disfigured face was very close, with a cold smile on the corners of his mouth, just like an evil ghost coming to take his life.
"Slave, I am guilty... Master, please spare my life!"
The feeling of suffocation became stronger and stronger. Zhu'er's legs and feet became so sore that she didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Spare my life? Ha! Yu Guiren sneered, "You regret it now? But it's too late. Today is the day you die!"
With force from his fingers, there was a snap! Zhu'er's cervical vertebra was broken.
Then, her body was thrown on the ground like garbage, but her face was hideous and her death was extremely tragic.
Outside the palace gate, the beating continued, the screams became weaker and weaker, and then there was no sound at all.
“Little princess, you should be the one to die next, haha, haha, hahahahahaha!”
Concubine Yu laughed loudly, which seemed particularly terrifying in the bleak night.
As for Su Han, no one knew what means he used, but he not only escaped punishment but was also appointed as the high priest.
In a blink of an eye, it was another morning. Led by the palace maids, the female official walked quickly into the Weirui Palace and respectfully performed a standard bow to the virtuous concubine.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother who was traveling abroad has returned to the palace and said she wants to see the little princess!"
Queen Mother? The words fell into Su Lili's ears, and the baby Su Lili began to recall the new plot she received last night.
The Queen Mother of Dayong Kingdom was also a remarkable woman. She was born into a scholarly family, but she loved wielding swords and spears, and her greatest wish was to join the army in battle.
His swordsmanship was superb, and he once competed with the Tartars at a palace banquet, frightening all the foreign officials.
Unfortunately, she later married into the deep palace and could no longer use her swordsmanship. But she didn't want to become a well-behaved canary, and she didn't want to compete for favor like other concubines.
When I have nothing to do, I just grow flowers and play with birds, which is endless fun.
Fortunately, her own son was able to live up to his expectations and eventually ascended to the throne. However, she was unwilling to be bound by the deep palace, so she left the palace and traveled for several years.
[I really want to meet the Royal Grandmother. She is simply my idol! ]
The more Su Lili thought about it, the more excited she became, and her short legs flapped non-stop.
