Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Everyone felt sad: their daughter had been in the palace as queen, but died within a month.

The Mu family is so unlucky!

But some people were secretly envious: the Mu family was able to be conferred a title of nobility just by sacrificing a daughter, so the Mu family did not lose out.

You have to know that it takes a lot of merits for an ordinary noble family to be granted the title of nobility.

If you can get it by marrying off your daughter, who wouldn't want it? !
Amid the chaos, the Ministry of Justice quickly found the murderer behind the murder of the imperial physician, who was Concubine Rong.

After the concubines collectively drank safflower soup, the imperial physician tried every possible means and finally gave everyone a glimmer of hope, and they did not collectively lose their fertility.

But it does not include Rongpin.

Rongpin drank too much soup and couldn't have children.

Rongpin did not believe that Mu Wanwen was innocent. She always believed that it was Mu Wanwen who poisoned her.

In order to seek revenge, Rongpin had the imperial physician's family kidnapped, forcing the physician to poison the empress and conceal the truth.

After the Queen was poisoned, she ordered someone to strangle the imperial physician to death.

When Rongpin was taken to the imperial study by the Ministry of Justice, Rongpin's father, Grand Tutor Mu, and Marquis Mu were all present.

Everyone understood in their minds: this was to make Rongpin confess in public, to convince Rongpin's father, and to give an explanation to Mu Taifu and Mu Houye.

The moment Rongpin saw her father, she immediately collapsed and rushed over to hug her father's thighs: "Father... wuwuwu..."

However, Rong's father kicked Rongpin viciously, knocking her backwards.

"You rebellious girl, you are so bold to murder the queen! My Rong family cannot tolerate a vicious woman like you, you are not a member of my Rong family!"

Rongpin was shocked that her own father wanted to sever ties with her at this time. She felt heartbroken, but she also reacted.

She had caused such a terrible disaster. If she wanted to protect her family, she would definitely be expelled from the family tree!

"It was my daughter who was resentful that did such a stupid thing. It has nothing to do with my father. My daughter is gone. Please take care of yourself, father!"

After Rongpin finished speaking, she hit her head against a pillar and died.

Master Mu and Lord Mu were sitting on the side, their hands were wet and their faces were filled with grief and anger.

Even though Mu Wanwen had many faults, she was exiled along with her entire family and returned.

Mu Wanwen has become the petty-minded person she is today, which is also due to the changes that have happened to the Mu family over the years.

After all, he is our own child, and he is gone suddenly... No one would feel good about it.

After the palace servants had collected Rongpin's body, His Majesty the Emperor slowly announced the verdict: "Rongpin murdered the Queen, her crime is unforgivable, she will be demoted to a commoner, and her body will be thrown into a mass grave outside the palace."

"Rong Gang failed to teach his daughter well, so he was demoted to a commoner. The three clans of the Rong family were expelled from the capital, and three generations were not allowed to enter the government."

"Empress Mu was virtuous, but she was murdered by Rong. She should be buried with the ceremony of an empress..."

The arrangements were made quickly, the Mu family was appeased, the Rong family was banished from the capital, and the matter came to an end.

After Mu Wanwen was buried in a grand and simple manner, His Majesty the Emperor spoke directly when he went to court.

"I am now certain that I will no longer be able to bear children. Over time, the concubines in the harem will also have a hard time."

"If any of you want to take your daughter home, you can marry her to someone else. I will reward and compensate you."

The ministers who had sent their daughters into the palace knelt down and said they dared not.

It’s that I don’t dare, but it’s not that I don’t want to.

His Majesty the Emperor pretended not to hear: "You don't have to make up your mind right away, go home and discuss it. If you want to take your daughter back, just submit your petition."

He was serious.

After the court session, the Emperor gathered all the concubines in the harem and told them his decision again.

Since the emperor confirmed that he would not have an heir, he never came to the harem again. When they thought about how they would have to live like this in the future, several concubines were so aggrieved that they burst into tears.

We are all teenagers, are we going to live our lives without hope in the future? !

It's impossible to say that I have no regrets.

But now that everyone has come in, what can we do?!
Who would have thought that His Majesty the Emperor would be so considerate and allow him to return home? !
Several palace concubines who had never been favored were secretly moved: they wanted to return home.

His Majesty the Emperor also asked them to write letters to their families to express their feelings, whether they wanted to go home or stay.

If she stayed, the emperor would naturally take care of her until the end of her life.

If she wanted to go home, the emperor would give her generous gifts, send her home, and allow her to marry someone else.

The harem was in an uproar for a moment!

Of the fifteen beauties who entered the palace this time, the queen died tragically, Concubine Rong committed suicide, and the remaining thirteen returned to the palace and made some calculations, and eight of them decided to leave.

But after they wrote letters home, only five people were willing to take them home.

Three families felt that there would be no new people entering the harem in the future, and since she had already occupied a position in the palace, it would be better for her not to go back.

Over time, if he gets the emperor's favor, he might be able to be promoted and help his father and brother in the previous dynasty.

In the end, five people left the harem and eight remained.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the list and thought of the results of the investigation he had asked people to do, and a sarcastic sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The few who stayed behind were promoted one after another.

Kong Min, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, was promoted to Defei and was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces.

When the throne of empress was vacant, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that the late Empress Mu was virtuous and he was grateful for her friendship and could not bear to let her down, so he would not appoint another empress.

As a result, Kong Min achieved "unparalleled wealth and honor" by being the only one in charge of the six palaces.

What Sect Leader Xiao said was true, but it was far from what the Minister of Rites' wife, Mrs. Leng, wanted.

But she couldn't fault Xiao Luoyi's judgment: Kong Min's family is the only one in power, there is no queen above them, and there are no concubines of the same level, isn't that unparalleled wealth? !

Mrs. Leng felt complicated when she thought about her daughter being trapped in the harem for the rest of her life without having any children.

Amidst such hustle and bustle, Chen Huaixian returned to Beijing. As soon as he entered the palace, he was kept by the emperor: the emperor said that he was too busy and asked Chen Huaixian to help with military affairs.

His Highness Prince Ni is already in charge of the Pingxi Army. Now that he is assisting in military affairs, it is natural and effortless for him to do so.

The emperor finally released the people. As soon as Chen Huaixian returned home, he pulled Zhao Zhi back to his room with a serious expression.

The imperial decree was issued, ordering Zhao Zhi to follow Xiao Luoyi to ensure that the baby in her belly could be born safely.

This means that Zhao Zhi cannot stay in the capital with him.

Chen Huaixian had a vague guess in his mind: His Majesty the Emperor did not agree with him marrying Zhao Zhi as his principal wife.

He seemed to want to separate himself and Zhao Zhi, so he sent Zhao Zhi to Nanzhao and left himself in the capital.

But he couldn't say this directly to Zhao Zhi.

So after pulling Zhao Zhi back to the room, Chen Huaixian didn't know how to start for a long time.

Zhao Zhi seemed to have noticed something from Chen Huaixian's embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong? His Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for you?"

Chen Huaixian looked at Zhao Zhi in surprise and nodded: "He didn't specify whose daughter she was, he just asked me if I had a favorite family."

It’s the family you like, not the woman you like.

There is a difference. (End of this chapter)
