Chapter 222 Nowhere to turn for help
Mo Bin: "......"
"Since no one blames you, it's obvious they know this has nothing to do with you. Why are you worried?"
“…”
Mopin was speechless. She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was.
"Empress, I am still feeling uneasy. Please, Empress, please help me!"
Nanny Yan couldn't bear to listen any longer. She frowned and said in a cold voice, "Don't you understand what the Empress said? Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen don't care at all, so why is Concubine Mo bothering herself? What does Concubine Mo want the Empress to do? Can she help you plead with Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen?"
Who are you? You deserve it.
Concubine Mo's face turned pale and she looked at the queen pleadingly.
Without even raising her eyelids, the Queen said calmly after a moment, "No matter what, you are also responsible for this matter. If you hadn't been so nosy, it wouldn't have come to this. Now you've learned your lesson. From now on, be careful with your mouth and don't talk nonsense for no reason, as it will only cause trouble. Being cautious in what you say and do is the right way."
"Yes, I will teach you..."
"Okay, go ahead!"
"yes......"
Concubine Mo was helpless and had to leave Fengwu Palace with a heavy heart.
The fact that Concubine Mo was dismissed in disgrace after running to three places in succession caused a stir in the palace. While the concubines were gloating, they were also curious about what would happen next.
The Empress was indifferent to the matter, but didn't the Imperial Concubine Chen care? The Imperial Concubine Shu had been terribly harmed by her, but didn't she care?
No one expected that Concubine Mo was unwilling to give up and actually ran to Ganyuan Palace to ask to see the emperor!
It goes without saying that she must want to explain to the emperor and ask him to make the decision for her.
Everyone was stunned... Was Concubine Mo really desperate? She was going to the Emperor for help when the Empress didn't care?
To put it bluntly, this matter is somewhat implicated by her. She is lucky that the emperor did not punish her. She still dares to go further and come to the emperor's door. I am afraid that she will end up losing more than she gains!
But Concubine Mo didn't think so.
She thought this was a great opportunity.
Wasn't Concubine Chen always known for playing pitiful to gain the Emperor's pity and love? She was miserable enough now, wasn't she? If she went before the Emperor and begged, crying and wailing, maybe the Emperor would relent, and perhaps even look upon her with a different eye?
In any case, this is an opportunity to show up in front of the emperor.
Emperor Yuan Yong didn't meet her. After hearing the report, he sneered, "How dare she come here? I didn't punish her because I thought she would realize her guilt and reflect on herself. Considering it was her first offense, I let it go. But she's so ungrateful! Get her out! Tell her I don't want to see her!"
Concubine Mo was really hit hard this time. When she left Ganyuan Palace, her steps were unsteady, she was distraught, her eyes were staring, and her heart was cold and desperate.
She was just joking and said a few words casually. What she said was not what was rumored in the palace. Why didn't the emperor even give her a chance to explain...
She was really wronged...
The dreamy day was over.
The palace seems calm, but in fact there are undercurrents.
The gates of Jingyuan Palace were tightly guarded, but everyone knew that Concubine Shu had truly fallen from favor. Even though she had the eldest prince, it would not be easy to turn things around overnight.
Ripple Palace...good luck!
I didn't do anything, but someone gave me such a huge benefit for nothing!
The eldest prince and the second prince have not yet clashed, but the eldest prince has already lost the emperor's heart.
The next day, news suddenly came from the palace that Concubine Mo had died.
The body was found in Taiye Lake early in the morning. Mo Bin died in the lake, and no one knew how she died in it.
But on that day, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingyuan Palace were taken away for questioning by the Ministry of Punishment, including Aunt Xu.
Obviously, Jingyuan Palace is the biggest suspect.
It was practically impossible for Concubine Mo to commit suicide. Yesterday, she was running around everywhere, begging for mercy. How could she act like someone who wanted to die? Not even close.
If it wasn't suicide, then he was murdered.
Who would murder her?
The most suspicious place is naturally Jingyuan Palace.
Shufei might not harbor any hatred towards her and might even have thoughts of revenge.
As for Noble Concubine Chen, the Emperor rested in Lianyi Palace yesterday. Even if Noble Concubine Chen had the guts to do so, she would not dare to arrange such a thing that evening.
Others have no grudges against Concubine Mo and will not harm her.
Concubine Shu was so angry that she didn't care about the house arrest or not, and ran to Ganyuan Palace to cry and complain about her injustice.
"...Your Majesty, I am not so foolish! I have fallen into such a state. I just want to live in peace and quiet and nothing will happen. How could I choose to murder Concubine Mo at this critical moment? At this time, no matter whether it is Concubine Mo or Concubine Chen, if anything happens, I will be the biggest suspect. How could I do such a thing! I wish I could pray to God for their safety!"
"Your Majesty, please understand!"
Emperor Yuan Yong remained unmoved by her sobbing and said coldly, "You know whether you did it or not. It's true. Since you know you're suspected, just wait for the results of the Ministry of Punishment's investigation. What's the point of coming to me and saying all this? Can I declare you not guilty just because of what you said? Concubine Shu, in other words, the more you think this is the case, the more you do this now, isn't it just clearing your name? How can I know whether you did it or not?"
Concubine Shu was devastated: "Your Majesty doesn't trust me..."
Emperor Yuan Yong looked a little sarcastic.
He once trusted her, at least thinking that she would teach the eldest prince well with all her heart. However, he had ordered Dong Zhi to investigate these past two days. Judging from what Dong Zhi reported, she, as his mother, really didn't know what to say! If this child was not taught well, he would be basically useless when he grew up.
He wanted to teach her a lesson, but unfortunately, not only did she not appreciate it, she also thought that he wanted to steal her child and deliberately separate her from her child.
In that case, forget it!
It doesn’t matter if the children of the royal family don’t have any future, as they can be guaranteed to have food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Now, she actually had the nerve to accuse me of not trusting her in front of me.
"Whether I believe it or not, it doesn't represent the truth. Go back and wait!"
"You're still under house arrest, yet you're leaving like this. Where do you think my will stands? Concubine Shu, I'll forgive you this time. If you do it again, I won't listen to you, no matter what your excuse is. You'll be on your own."
Concubine Shu suddenly raised her head and looked at Emperor Yuan Yong in pain.
"Take Concubine Shu away!"
"Yes... Madam Shufei, please."
Concubine Shu returned to Jingyuan Palace in a daze.
