After reading my heart, my mother-in-law went crazy and I drank milk and melons.

Chapter 24 The entire clan is condemned to death
  "May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Chengqian Palace fell to their knees.

Emperor Qingling glanced at Concubine Shu, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, he walked to the queen and said in a deep voice: "Queen, there is a respectful room for torture, why are you being tortured in Chengqian Palace? In addition to Concubine Shu, there are also my Princess, how can you see blood?"

The queen knelt on the ground, listening to the emperor's voice, and felt a sense of regret in her heart.

She had been in control of the harem for so long, but she was provoked by Mu Guiren out of jealousy, so much so that the emperor questioned her like this.

For the current plan, only by retreating can we maintain our position and preserve the glory of the Wuya family.

However, if she bows her head this time, Concubine Shu's power in the harem will become even greater in the future.

But she had no choice but to bow her head.

Is it possible that she should watch helplessly as the emperor feels sorry for Concubine Shu and promotes her to the title of Concubine Shu, Imperial Concubine again?

If Concubine Shu is promoted to the imperial concubine, who in the harem will still remember her as the queen?

I'm afraid that when the time comes, the former dynasty and the harem will only remember that the Zong family gave birth to an imperial concubine and gave birth to a much-loved princess. From now on, children will surround their knees and the prince will succeed to the throne.

Thinking of this, the queen gave up her struggle and knelt down to kowtow, with a hint of regret in her voice.

"Your Majesty, I listened to the villain's instigation and mistakenly believed that Concubine Shu connived at the servants to harm the concubine and pretended to be a ghost. I was really frightened that there was such a ruthless person in Chengqian Palace. I felt sorry for the princess. I was so angry that I asked Chengqian The execution will be carried out in the Qian palace, and the emperor is requested to see that my concubine has a loyal heart for the princess and a loyal heart for the emperor, so that he can be given a lighter sentence."

The coldness between Emperor Qingling's brows relaxed a bit.

The voice was slightly deeper: "Well, with your temperament, you are willing to bow your head and admit your mistakes. It is already difficult for you. Who misled the queen's judgment and dared to openly tell right and wrong in the harem! I know the temperament of Concubine Shu best. She is gentle and gentle. , graceful and elegant, even if everyone is evil, my concubine is still a clean slate! Stand up now, and I may be able to spare your life!"

Emperor Qing Ling's voice made everyone present feel their hearts sink.

Previously, everyone just thought that the emperor was the same as before, and only put some love for Concubine Shu, but now it seems that Concubine Shu is clearly the one who is the most important to him.

Whether it is the indiscriminate protection or the preference that does not take the truth into account, it is enough to make everyone in the world envious.

Concubine Shu knelt on the ground and looked sideways at the corner of the dragon robe.

She originally thought that the emperor's appearance was because he heard about what happened in Chengqian Palace and blamed her for missing the morning and dusk meditation. But who would have thought that he would actually come after her to defend her?

This time out of the cold palace, she became even more unpredictable when the emperor came.

Everyone was trembling and dared not speak.

Behind the crowd, a palace maid stood up and stepped forward, her head lowered and her steps messy.

Emperor Qing Ling looked up at her.

The palace maid stood in front of Emperor Qing Ling, knelt down suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this slave is Xia He from Concubine Shu's palace. That day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a slave to serve in Concubine Shu's palace. I thought that I must Serve the master well, but Concubine Shu already has Grandma Chen and Mi Chun by her side. The servant thinks that she cannot compare with Grandma Chen’s experience and sincerity, so she thinks that she can stay with the concubine instead of Mi Chun, but she doesn’t have Mi Chun. Because of his cleverness, he is one step behind in everything, so..."

Emperor Qingling scolded sternly: "So you had evil thoughts, killed Cui Ju, and then put the blame on Mi Chun?"

Xia He kowtowed his head loudly: "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. But last night when Mu Guiren punished Cui Ju by kneeling down, she came out to pretend to be a ghost and scared Cui Ju. Later, she stuffed the ghost face and black robe into the rice. Under Chun's bed, but why did Aster hang herself, and where did she get her white silk, I really don't know." After the words fell, Emperor Qing Ling had no reaction, Mu Guiren stepped forward and beat Xia He first. a slap.

"You despicable and shameless thing! I just punished Ziju to kneel for half an hour, but you took advantage of it and killed her on the spot. You also frightened Empress Shu and Princess Ying'an. You What a crime!"

After the beating, before Xia He could react, she knelt directly in front of Emperor Qing Ling.

Tears fell on the spot, the dancing was endearing, quite a bit pitiful and sultry between the beds.

"Your Majesty, I had a headache last night and felt dizzy, so I sent Cui Ju to find the imperial doctor. However, Cui Ju refused me for ridiculous reasons. People in my palace also heard that she was cursing me behind my back. Just to win the favor of the Emperor, I pretended to be weak and pitiful. But Your Majesty, I really just like you, that’s why I act coquettishly in front of you to show my love. I couldn’t get angry for a moment, so I asked her to watch the clock by herself. When the hour is up, you can go back to your room to rest, but who would have thought that something like this would happen? If I had known that Cui Ju would die, and even frightened Empress Shu, I should be punished by death, so please be more lenient, Your Majesty. I will never complain when I am defeated."

As he spoke, Mu Guiren's eyes filled with tears.

Kneeling on the ground and looking up at Emperor Qing Ling, he raised his hand to wipe the clear tears that fell down, and gently stroked his cheeks. The right flush and fingertips were like feathers caressing Emperor Qing Ling's heart.

It was like a drop of water falling into the calm spring in his heart, causing waves to rise.

Emperor Qingling remained silent and pondered for a long time. He stepped forward to help Mu Guiren up and held her in his arms regardless of the eyes of everyone present.

"I can't help you. I have ignored your feelings in recent days. I know your character best. Although you are a bit delicate and unruly, you are kind-hearted. You are definitely not trying to kill Aster, nor are you trying to kill her. Framing Concubine Shu and Ying'an."

Mu Guiren nestled in Emperor Qingling's arms, tears falling even more fiercely.

His shoulders twitched, and his voice was shallow: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. As Your Majesty has said, even if Concubine Shu asks for my life, I will give it to you."

Emperor Qingling laughed for a moment: "What kind of childish talk are you talking about? Concubine Shu is gentle and demure. What do you want to do with your life? Concubine Shu, although this matter started with Mu Guiren punishing the palace maid, fortunately you are also safe and sound. Since Ying'an is safe, don't hold Mu Guiren at fault, after all, she is also a victim."

Concubine Shu lowered her eyes and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

There was no hint of emotion in her voice, as if the emperor's honor and favor were not worth mentioning to her.

"Somebody come!"

Wei Weiran stepped forward, knelt down and responded: "Your Majesty."

"The whole Xia He clan, please die!"

Wei Weiran paused slightly.

Emperor Qingling was jealous and suspicious, but he never killed people easily. If there was room for change, he would definitely give him a chance.

But just because a palace maid died, the entire Xia family was killed.

This is really unheard of.

But even though he was suspicious, Wei Weiran still lowered his head: "I obey the order."

Then he stood up and said: "The whole Xia family is willing to die! You guys, take Xia He down, don't dirty the eyes of the masters!"
