The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1122 Waiting for Opportunities

When Concubine Cen's voice gradually faded, the whole space became quieter and quieter, and even everyone's breathing could be heard.

The imperial physician who was giving acupuncture to Princess Yongping felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he ignored everything else and started to move his fingers, with dense needles flying out instantly.

"Your Majesty, I have finished the acupuncture. Princess Yongping is fine now."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Sheng Ran turned her head to look at Yongping lying on the couch.

The doctor understood immediately and said hurriedly: "Princess Yongping was too emotional before, so she was exhausted and sleepy. She is now sleeping soundly... If you need, I can use a needle to wake her up here."

"Forget it, let her sleep!" Sheng Ran waved her hand and smiled at the imperial physician, "Thank you for your trouble. If you have nothing else, you can wait outside."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, the imperial physician felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He immediately bowed and walked out quickly backwards.

It wasn't until his feet stepped on the bluestone slabs outside that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

  Well, it feels so good to be alive!

……

Concubine Cen couldn't help but laugh when she saw that the imperial physician's feet were almost emitting sparks.

"I have lived in this harem for decades, but I have never seen the imperial physician lose his composure like this."

"It can't be considered a loss of composure. I just walked a little faster." Sheng Ran responded indifferently.

"The Queen thinks that he is just walking a little faster, but I can see that he is in awe of you, the Queen!"

"Oh? Awe? I don't know where his awe comes from, but awe is the key to knowing one's duty, which is good."

Sheng Ran's bland words put an end to the awkward conversation started by Concubine Cen. It was not known whether it was because she had talked too much before or because of her emotional fluctuations, but at this moment, Concubine Cen looked a little tired.

"Empress, just now... I have said everything I should and shouldn't have said, and I have kept my promise. Now, is it your turn to ask a few questions?"

She looked at Sheng Ran with tiredness in her eyes.

Sheng Ran suddenly smiled and nodded: "You ask."

"Let's not beat around the bush. I just want to know what punishment Yongping will receive."

When Concubine Cen asked this question, her tone was full of helplessness.

Even though she had been planning for a long time, she had overlooked the variable of Yongping. She looked decisive and ruthless, but when it really came to the critical moment, she was simply unwilling to give up. She could treat others as chess pieces and play with them in the palm of her hand, but she was unwilling to let herself be involved in the slightest danger, so that in the end, the palace people who shouldn't have taken action took action.

Sheng Ran looked at Concubine Cen's changing colors, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Concubine, I think you are also very clear, with your confession just now, then the case file is in front of the emperor, and her biggest fault is to cause a disturbance in the Si Palace.

There's nothing you can do. She didn't finish what you wanted her to do! If you really want to look into it, the imperial edict of succession was stolen by your people, the forged imperial edict was drawn by you, the thoughts she shouldn't have were guided by you, her action on Si Gong was provoked by you, and the palace maid who finally attacked the emperor was also your subordinate.

Even if the emperor wants to punish her, he has to go through the Imperial Clan Court and the Supreme Court, and even the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice have to sit in on the case. The case files will be put in front of everyone. Guess who is more at fault, you or she?"

Every time Sheng Ran said something, Concubine Cen’s expression became more unsightly.

Although she firmly believed that Queen Sheng Yan was not a good person and would not give Yongping the opportunity to escape the serious crime, for her, as long as Yongping was alive, as long as he lived longer than her, it would mean that she had failed to avenge her son.

"Haha, success is at stake because of meanness, and the villain lives in shamelessness!" In extreme grief and indignation, Concubine Cen cried out in pain.
