The originally depressed scene completely disappeared. Gradually the brilliance inside is revealed.
It was indeed different from what Chen Fu had seen before.
"Why did Your Majesty bring me here?" Chen Fu couldn't help but ask.
This Kunning Palace was the palace of the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, and the interior of the palace is extremely luxurious.
Even though it has been uninhabited for years, it is still the best palace in the Forbidden City.
"I asked someone to arrange it for you." Xiao Yu stood in front of Chen Fu, with a gentle and tired look between his eyebrows.
"I have already started to prepare for this place to be renovated and you can live here in the future."
When His Majesty's words fell, Shen Fu couldn't help but raise her head.
She was a little bit incredulous.
The Kunning Palace is not a place for ordinary concubines to live in.
In the past, it was the queen's palace.
As for the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, she was allowed to live in the Kunning Palace only because she was extremely favored by the late emperor.
Even so, the late emperor's action was criticized by some people.
Now His Majesty wants her to live in the Kunning Palace?
"I would never dare to do that." Chen Fu didn't care about anything else and knelt down subconsciously.
"Kunning Palace is a palace where the queen should live, not where concubines can live." Chen Fu knelt at the feet of His Majesty: "Please take back your order, Your Majesty."
"You don't need to be afraid."
Xiao Yu bent down, stretched out his hand and helped Chen Fu up from the ground.
He held Shen Fu's arms with both hands, applying slight force in his palms. Those arrogant eyes looked at Chen Fu gently:
"Don't worry, since I dare to give it to you, I will definitely protect you."
"But I..." Shen Fu was about to continue speaking, but was held back by His Majesty's tightened palm.
"Believe me, my love for you is deeper than you can see."
His Majesty's eyes were blazing and full of passion.
Shen Fu looked into His Majesty's eyes and was unable to say anything for a moment.
Until Lin An came forward with his waist bent: "Your Majesty, several ministers are waiting in the palace."
"I'll send you back." After hearing this, His Majesty let go of Chen Fu's arm.
Chen Fu lowered her eyes: "Your Majesty, please go back first. I want to take a walk by myself."
When His Majesty heard this, he nodded after a long while: "You still don't believe what I say now, I understand."
He met Zhou Shuyun and Meng Siyao in private, wanting to ask them about those absurd things.
Now he just had a suspicion in his heart, but it had been confirmed.
I just wanted to wait until I was completely sure before confessing to Shen Fu.
But at this moment, he couldn't say a word.
"When I have the answer, I will explain it to you one by one."
His Majesty asked Lin An to send Chen Fu back.
Even after returning to Hehuan Palace, Chen Fu was still full of doubts.
How did she live in Kunning Palace?
She was feeling very nervous because of this matter. Zi Su watched the whole process from the side, and waited for Shen Fu to come back to her senses before saying: "Your Highness, don't worry. Since His Majesty has said so, there must be a way."
"I'm not worried." Shen Fu came back to her senses and decided not to think about it anymore.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed her brows, then paused as she thought of something: "Where's Xiao Guizi?"
"Has he completed what I ordered?"
"Xiao Guizi sent someone to bring news that the matter has been settled." Zi Su said beside him, "Let the queen wait until tonight."
As night falls, the moonlight sprinkles on the glazed tiles like water, casting a faint glow.
The gate to the Hehuan Palace courtyard was closed tightly, and not even a fly could fly in.
Xiao Guizi crouched down and asked someone to put the body that was fished out of the water at the door.
"I covered my face and took the opportunity to fish out Xiaoqiu when no one was paying attention. No one definitely noticed me." Xiao Guizi could tell at a glance that he had gone down to the river to fish it out himself.
Water was dripping from the hem of the eunuch's uniform.
Shen Fu ordered Zi Su: "Go get him a clean handkerchief."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Guizi took the handkerchief and bowed her head quickly to express her gratitude.
Chen Fu walked forward and her eyes fell on the corpse on the ground.
The corpse had been soaked in water for a whole night, and it had turned a little white when it was fished out.
The half of his face that had been punished was now red and swollen.
But at a glance, one can still clearly recognize that the person lying on the ground is Rong Qi.
"Your Majesty, please look less." Zi Su handed the handkerchief to Xiao Guizi, then walked forward to block Chen Fu.
"It's unlucky to see this thing too often."
"I just think she is really pitiful." Chen Fu couldn't help but sigh at Rong Qi's corpse.
Even though Shen Fu disliked Rong Qi, she never thought of taking her life seriously.
But her dearest sister really couldn't tolerate her.
When he failed to negotiate with her, he turned around and killed her.
It was quick and clean, as if the person being killed was not a human but an animal.
This made her truly admire Concubine Rong.
"No matter how pitiful she is, it's not us who did this." Zi Su stood in front of Chen Fu, took the cloak beside her and put it on her.
"It's all Concubine Rong's fault. It's her bad luck to have such a sister."
Shen Fu stood in silence for a long while at a distance, and then asked, "Have you found the two eunuchs who threw the body?"
"Found it." Xiao Guizi loosened her hand that was wiping her hair and immediately waved to have someone bring the two people up.
The two young eunuchs had their hands and feet tied and were forced to kneel on the ground.
Seeing Shen Fu's pale face and trembling, he only remembered to kowtow.
"Was it Concubine Rong who asked you to throw the body into the lotus pond?" Chen Fu sat on the chair, fanning herself gently.
It was a cool summer night, and her eyes cast on the ground, which frightened the two young eunuchs so much that they broke out in cold sweats for no reason.
“Yes, yes… No…”
The two young eunuchs shook their heads, stammered, and could not speak clearly.
"Xiao Guizi." Chen Fu gave a look, and Xiao Guizi immediately stepped forward and kicked one of them in the heart.
The man was kicked to the ground and suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Zhao Zhao Zhao Zhao... Empress Zhao, please spare my life..."
Another young eunuch was so frightened when he saw this scene that he almost lost his soul.
He climbed up in three or two steps and knelt at Chen Fu's feet.
"Yes, it was Concubine Rong who told us to throw the body into the lotus pond. This matter has nothing to do with us, Concubine."
The young eunuch knelt on the ground, frightened out of his wits.
Trembling, she revealed everything: "Rong Fei Niang accidentally killed someone, and she was afraid of being punished by the Rong family and the Empress Dowager, so she asked the servants to throw the body into the lotus pond."
"Just wait and keep it a secret for a day. When time passes, they will say that she...she fell into the lotus pond by herself, and the matter will ferment."
The young eunuch turned pale and told everyone he knew.
When Shen Fu heard this, she couldn’t help but feel cold in her heart.
Rong Fei's intentions are truly vicious. Looking around, there are probably not many people who can kill even their blood relatives.
"My queen, it's not a good idea to leave this corpse here. We should deal with it as soon as possible." Zi Su reminded her.
Xiao Guizi also wiped her face clean and stood respectfully aside waiting for Chen Fu's instructions.
"Since it was Concubine Rong who had it thrown out, then give it back to Concubine Rong." Chen Fu waved her fan and slowly spoke to the two young eunuchs on the ground:
"Wait till the night, and see how you two move it out, and how you send it back!"
Xiao Guizi was kneeling on the ground and looked up in surprise when she heard this. Zi Su also stared blankly at Chen Fu with her eyes wide open.
"My lady, we fished out this little Guizi with great difficulty, why are you sending her back again?"
"Of course I'm going to send it back to her."
Chen Fu looked at the corpse lying on the ground and sneered: "Rong Fei killed her own sister, and was so heartless that she had the corpse thrown into the lotus pond."
"Everything I want her to do will be known to the world!"
