Chapter 246 Finale
Even if hatred can generate strength and unleash potential, Song Ronghua cannot defeat her!
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened. Concubine Lin suddenly rushed over and said, "Concubine Chen, be careful!"
At this time, Yu Chan also stumbled to her feet from the ground, and rushed over to help Xu Lanshan in a terrified state. As luck would have it, she bumped into Lin Fei, and both of them screamed.
In the chaos, Song Ronghua's silver hairpin pierced into Concubine Lin's chest. Xu Lanshan and Yu Chan pushed the crazy Song Ronghua away.
Finally, some eunuchs and palace maids heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the situation, they all changed color, ran over quickly, and forcibly grabbed Song Ronghua.
Song Ronghua, with fire in his eyes, struggled desperately and glared at Xu Lanshan viciously, wishing he could bite off a piece of her flesh, cursing her as a bitch.
Yu Chan shouted, "Shut her mouth! Someone, report this to the Emperor! Send for the imperial physician!"
......
Song Ronghua was taken to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, and Concubine Lin was sent back to the palace. Fortunately, her injuries were not serious and she would be fine after two months of rest.
Xu Lanshan was just a little frightened and not injured.
Concubine Lin felt extremely guilty: "I am useless. I wanted to protect Concubine Chen, but I got hurt and scared Concubine Chen..."
Xu Lanshan shook her head and said, "Princess Lin, there's no need to say more. Just focus on recovering from your injuries. If there's anything you need or want, just send someone to tell me."
Concubine Lin felt a little disappointed, but the smile on her face became even gentler. "Then I'll trouble Concubine Chen."
"Of course, no trouble."
Concubine Lin couldn't help but secretly look forward to it, but the emperor didn't say a word. When Concubine Chen left, he followed Concubine Chen.
Ru Fang couldn't help but feel indignant on behalf of her master: "After all, Her Majesty is the Imperial Concubine's savior, and this is how the Imperial Concubine repays Her Majesty? This is too perfunctory and too arrogant! If Her Majesty hadn't blocked that blow for her, perhaps that blow would have pierced her heart or cut her face."
Lin Fei scolded lightly: "Okay, stop talking nonsense!"
She couldn't help but curl her lips. If Ru Fang thought so, then naturally many others in the palace would think so too. That was enough. As long as she held the title of Concubine Chen's savior, she would have to repay her sooner or later...
She was not in a hurry at all, just waiting slowly...
Song Ronghua, who was originally half crazy, went completely crazy after being sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
No matter what you ask her, she answers irrelevantly, even when you torture her.
She knew nothing and only kept cursing Xu Lanshan or crying and shouting at the emperor. The head of the Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to report the truth.
Emperor Yuan Yong was furious and wanted to sentence Song Ronghua to death, but Xu Lanshan stopped him.
"Even if she deserves to die, it's ultimately my fault. I don't want to see anyone die again, so why not send her to a temple?"
Emperor Yuan Yong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, Lan'er is kind-hearted, so be it! But once this matter is settled, send her away."
Xu Lanshan smiled: "Your Majesty is wise!"
In this cruel place, it is common for a few people to die, but she is not used to it, and she will never be used to taking other people's lives.
Song Ronghua definitely didn't have the ability to leave the cold palace on her own, and she happened to meet Xu Lanshan.
When searching the cold palace, they found a handkerchief without much effort. Upon checking, they found that it belonged to Aunt Xu, who was by Concubine Shu's side.
Given Concubine Shu's current situation, it's understandable that she hates Xu Lanshan so much that she tries to do something!
Aunt Xu was sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
No matter how much Shu Fei cried and shouted in resistance, it was useless.
Concubine Shu understood that since the handkerchief was lost in the cold palace, there was no way that Aunt Xu could escape. Aunt Xu was originally involved in this matter. If she had not been targeted, she might have been safe and no one would have thought of her as the cause. But now that she was targeted and listed as a suspect, clues could always be found.
Nanny Xu did not give anyone a chance to thoroughly investigate her. As soon as she arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, she immediately and decisively killed herself by hitting her head while no one was around.
No one expected her to do this.
Now, there is no need to check.
There is no evidence to prove his guilt, but he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
It will be impossible for Concubine Shu to get the eldest prince back and it will be impossible for her to turn things around again.
Upon learning of Madam Xu's death, Concubine Shu vomited blood and fainted on the spot. After waking up, she cursed Concubine Lin, saying that she was the mastermind and had even murdered Concubine Chen, who was pregnant at the time, on New Year's Eve...
She would never let Concubine Lin have an easy life, even if it meant she had no luck.
Concubine Lin had expected this, and without caring about recuperating from her injuries, she came to Lianyi Palace, crying out for her grievances and injustices, swearing solemnly and wishing she could point her finger at the sky and curse.
"... Concubine Shu has gone mad. I saved the Imperial Concubine and ruined her plan. She resents me and is throwing all the dirty water on me! This is her ulterior motive. Even without evidence, she will always try to sow discord between me and the Imperial Concubine, and her goal will be achieved."
"Your Majesty, please understand. I have absolutely not done any of these things!"
Xu Lanshan's expression remained calm. "Since there is nothing, Princess Lin, don't worry about it. I am not that easy to fool. Princess Lin, please go back with peace of mind."
"The Imperial Concubine——"
"Back off!"
"yes......"
How could Concubine Lin dare to confront Xu Lanshan head-on or talk in front of her? Even though she was feeling uneasy, she had to retreat first.
She was secretly relieved. Concubine Chen didn't seem to believe what Concubine Shu said. That was enough...
Once she gets rid of the big trouble of Concubine Shu, she can rest easy from now on.
But she didn't know that the Xu Lanshan of today is no longer the Xu Lanshan of the past.
In the past, Xu Lanshan still had some reservations about Emperor Yuan Yong, but now it is different. The two of them are in tune with each other and there is no need to be cautious or hide anything anymore.
Xu Lanshan felt that what Concubine Shu said might not be false.
She couldn't believe it was such a coincidence that when Song Ronghua attacked her, Concubine Lin happened to arrive and save her. In fact, she was sharp-eyed and must have seen correctly that Concubine Lin had deliberately rushed forward to be stabbed by Song Ronghua. She could have easily avoided the attack, but she didn't.
Song Ronghua's attack should have missed and not hurt Xu Lanshan at all, but Concubine Lin went forward to attack and was injured, and was given the title of "saving Concubine Chen".
If Xu Lanshan doesn't know how to repay the kindness, it seems that she is being unfair to Concubine Lin!
Xu Lanshan told Emperor Yuan Yong all her conjectures and said, "I don't want to see her in the palace anymore!"
With such a powerful backer and a wealthy supporter, she is too lazy to use any schemes or tricks anymore. Wouldn't it be better to just use her power to suppress and bully others?
Emperor Yuan Yong smiled and said, "It's rare for Lan'er to be so straightforward. Then let's do as Lan'er says."
Lan'er is still too kindhearted. What Concubine Shu said may not be false. If we investigate thoroughly, Concubine Lin deserves to be executed!
Emperor Yuan Yong issued an edict to send Concubine Shu and Concubine Lin to a temple in the suburban palace of Beijing, one to pray for blessings and the other to recuperate in peace, with their return dates uncertain.
Concubine Lin couldn't believe it. After Emperor Yuan Yong ordered Dong Zhi to convey a few words to her, she gave up and dared not think about anything else.
She was lucky to have survived...
Accompanying them was the crazy Song Ronghua.
Emperor Yuan Yong didn't let them live comfortably, and placed them all in the same courtyard. The gate to the courtyard was sealed, with only a small opening to pass food and drink in. They were never allowed to set foot outside again in their lifetime.
As for the eldest prince, he was officially married to Baipin, and from then on, he was Baipin's son.
After all, he was only five years old, so it wasn't impossible to discipline him. Perhaps after a few years, his childhood memories would gradually fade and he wouldn't even remember Concubine Shu anymore.
Half a year later, the empress was implicated in a corruption and murder case among the eunuchs and aunts in charge of the harem. Emperor Yuan Yong angrily rebuked them for failing to discipline them and took away the power of the six palaces. The power to assist in the management of the six palaces was handed over to Concubine Chen.
The queen was so angry that she fell bedridden.
Nanny Yan was filled with hatred and tried to murder Concubine Chen, but was stopped by the Queen.
The Queen's eyes were hollow as she sneered, "I'll do nothing, but wait and see what they can do! Will the Emperor... depose her for that bitch?"
Nanny Yan was so heartbroken that tears were about to flow.
Emperor Yuan Yong did not depose the empress, but simply assigned someone to keep an eye on Fengwu Palace.
Although the queen was not deposed, she was very angry and developed many illnesses. Her health gradually deteriorated and she died of illness seven or eight years later.
By that time, Xu Lanshan had already given birth to a son and a daughter, and all three children grew up very well. Emperor Yuan Yong became increasingly tough in the court, and it was impossible for the ministers to interfere in his family affairs, so they had to give up.
The queen felt more and more frustrated, and her body collapsed early... This might have something to do with it.
Even the Queen did nothing, and Concubine Jiang and the others were even more timid, and no one dared to make any trouble.
As for Concubine Mei, she had already begged Xu Lanshan for help and fled the palace early on, and no one knew where she went.
Xu Lanshan admired him very much and had discussed it with Emperor Yuan Yong. Why not let all the concubines in the palace follow suit and release them?
But no one was willing to go. Instead, they thought that the imperial concubine could not tolerate them and were frightened and begged for mercy.
Xu Lanshan was speechless... He wanted to do good things, but ended up becoming a villain!
The matter was left unresolved.
Three years after the queen passed away, Xu Lanshan was finally crowned queen and ascended the throne.
As the ladies of state and inner court came to congratulate and kowtow, Xu Lanshan, dressed in court robes, looked at the ladies prostrating themselves before them and couldn't help but think of the palace fighting system. It seemed like she had achieved both of the goals that guy had mentioned...
In a sense, she can be considered the world's number one winner in life?
Thinking of Emperor Yuan Yong, Xu Lanshan felt a tenderness in her heart. Life was still long, and everything was still going on. Whether she could become the world's number one winner in life remained to be seen. She would strive hard...
