Song Dynasty female artist

They no longer have to be forced to do things they don't want to do.

However, she didn't expect that Concubine Miao would send people to kill her family.

These things were assigned to Chuntao at the time. As for whether their families were killed, Concubine Miao herself was not quite sure.

Concubine Miao: "According to what you said, you are all already in my Ciyuan Palace. You are already my people. Why would I go to the trouble of killing your family? In short, you have no evidence. You just made up these things to frame me."

Not many people know about Concubine Miao's affairs.

But it just so happened that Su Yixin knew about the Fourth Prince's affairs.

Obviously, after Concubine Miao finished speaking, she also remembered that when the late emperor was dealing with the Fourth Prince's affairs, Su Yixin was present, so she turned her gaze to Su Yixin.

She hoped Su Yixin wouldn't speak.

She is a concubine, she wouldn't do that for a servant.

Even a fool knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

It’s a pity that Concubine Miao misjudged Su Yixin’s character.

This matter has nothing to do with whether she is Concubine Miao or whether the victim is a servant.

If she knew the whole story, she would tell it truthfully.

When Su Yixin started talking about that past event, Miao was almost mad with rage.

Su Yixin said: "I don't know about the other things that Madam Hu and the others said, but they did point out that Concubine Miao intended to murder the Fourth Prince. At that time, the late emperor thought that Concubine Miao was the biological mother of the eldest princess, so he didn't punish her too severely, but only confined her to Ciyuan Palace."

After so many years, the eldest princess finally understood why her mother was suddenly placed under house arrest by her father. She thought at the time that it was because the women in the harem were competing for favor and her mother could not win, so she was placed under house arrest by her father. However, she did not expect that it was because her mother had once murdered the fourth prince.

For this reason, she also had resentment towards Su Yixin at that time.

I didn't expect the truth to be like this.

"As for the truth that the concubine said, in fact, as long as we search Chun Tao, who was the organizer of this matter at that time, everything will be revealed."

Concubine Miao: “…”

Soul search again. She was now afraid whenever she heard the word soul search.

Chuntao was also scared.

Looking at Concubine Miao anxiously.

Zhao Rui was a shrewd emperor. Looking at the reactions of his master and servant, he knew that what Mother Hu and the eunuch said was most likely true.

The eldest princess couldn't accept it for a while.

She thought someone was trying to harm her mother, so she wanted to ask Su Yixin to investigate the matter.

I didn't expect this result.

Concubine Miao never dreamed that she originally wanted to find the evil spirit, but in the end she would become the "evil spirit" hiding in the palace.

"Toffee, what do you have to say?"

Concubine Miao: "..., I have nothing to say, Chuntao, what about you?"

Chuntao's heart sank.

Having served the Concubine Dowager for so many years, she understood the meaning of the Concubine Dowager's words very well.

Chun Tao took two steps forward and knelt down: "Your Majesty, these things were done by this servant, and have nothing to do with the Concubine Dowager. Please understand your majesty."

After Chuntao finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to crash into the pillar next to her, but Su Yixin used her spiritual power to hold her body still.

"The law will judge the guilty, so don't bang your head against the wall all the time!" Concubine Miao's eyes were already spitting fire.

"Princess Shuyang, you!"

Chuntao could have just died and taken the blame for her, but Su Yixin had to interfere. Did she have a grudge against this woman in her life?

Zhao Rui looked at Concubine Miao with sharp eyes, and she shut her mouth instantly.

The things that Mother Hu mentioned were not done by Concubine Miao herself, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs took Chuntao, Xiahe and others away first. Mother Hu and the old eunuch were the plaintiffs, so they had to go with them.

After coming out of Ciyuan Hall, the eldest princess looked at Su Yixin with mixed feelings. She didn't know what attitude to use to face her.

Su Yixin didn't know what to say.

She knew that Heng'er had feelings for Princess Huai'an, but when it came to this, she couldn't get over it and had to watch Chuntao die in front of her.

The eldest princess spoke first: "Thank you Princess Shuyang for making this trip today. I will come to thank you another day!"

After saying this, the eldest princess felt relieved.

What my mother did had nothing to do with Su Yixin. It was because of me that she became the hand that revealed all this.

What reason do I have to express my dissatisfaction towards her?

Not long after they left, Empress Dowager Cao went to Ciyuan Hall.

The hall was cold and deserted. The serving palace maids kept their heads down the entire time, not daring to breathe.

Suddenly, a voice saying "The Queen Mother has arrived" was heard in the cold palace, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. Concubine Miao, who had been in a daze the whole time, moved her eyes and stretched out her arms for the palace maid to help her stand up.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, the Empress Dowager. I did not know that you were coming, and I am sorry that I failed to come and greet you. Please forgive me."

Empress Dowager Cao looked at Concubine Miao, whose eyes were dull and listless, and gave Mother Rong a look.

Mother Rong took all the palace maids away from the inner hall, and then guarded the palace door herself, not letting anyone approach.

Concubine Miao watched the palace door close coldly, and then looked at Empress Dowager Cao.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother must have something to say to me. Now that there is no one around, just say it directly."

"Teacher Miao, have you ever regretted having come to this point?"

"regret?"

Concubine Miao snorted, "What is the Empress Dowager referring to?"

"You and the late emperor have been together since childhood. As long as you abide by your duties, the late emperor is kind and your majesty is wise, and you will live a worry-free life for the rest of your life. But you have finally come to this point."

"So, Your Majesty, are you here to laugh at my joke?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Isn't it? In this harem, you are the queen, the queen mother, with a powerful maternal family as a backing, you don't have to fight or compete, and you don't care about the emperor's favor." Concubine Miao stood up and walked towards the window. The snow outside began to fall again. "But I am different. The late emperor and I only have that childhood relationship, but how long can it last? There are new people coming into the harem all the time, there is the favored Zhang, the domineering Yang, and the Dong who saved your majesty's life. What am I?"

"Originally I had Xin'er, so I didn't bother to use such privacy methods. Who doesn't want to be innocent? But my Xin'er is dead, and my only thought is gone. What should I do? What can I do?"

Queen Mother Cao: "You still have the eldest princess. His Majesty will not ignore you for the sake of the eldest princess. It is you who want to get more that have lost your original intention."

A snowflake fell into the palm of Concubine Miao's hand and gradually melted.

"Really cold."

Concubine Miao: "If you don't have it, you won't be afraid of losing it. If I hadn't given birth to Xin'er, I would have wanted only so much. But after having Xin'er, I saw hope and soon experienced despair. I'm afraid that feeling will never be understood by the Queen Mother." (End of this chapter)
