Chapter 115 Punishment

So when Eunuch Wei arrived at the banquet, he found out that Concubine Mei had already divorced, and then he hurried to her palace to announce it.

"Eunuch Wei, why are you here?"

When the palace maids in Meipin's palace saw him coming, they hurried up and asked, nodding and bowing.

Eunuch Hun is a popular figure around the emperor. The fact that he can come to their place must mean good news.

"Is Concubine Mei here?"

The palace servant was delighted when he heard this, as he was indeed here to summon Concubine Mei. However, he didn't know that Eunuch Wei came to summon Concubine Mei, and he might go to die.

He flattered, "My Lord, Madam Mei is resting. Please don't disturb her."

Eunuch Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and call Concubine Mei and our family out. The Emperor wants to see you."

When the palace servants heard that it was the Emperor who invited them, they happily hurried to call Concubine Mei.

However, they knocked on the door for a long time and there was no movement from inside, so they hurried out to tell Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Wei secretly said, "Oh no!" He hurried in with the palace servants and knocked on the door for a while. There was no movement from inside, so he said, "Hurry and break the door open."

"Yes."

The palace maids also knew that something was wrong, so they immediately knocked on the door, which was soon opened. A palace maid hurried in and saw Concubine Mei lying flat on the bed with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

"what!!"

The maid screamed.

When Eunuch Wei heard the scream, he knew that Concubine Mei was dead. He hurried over to take a look and found that Concubine Mei was indeed dead. She had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Eunuch Wei sighed and thought, why couldn't he just live a good life instead of seeking death?

He glanced at the frightened eunuchs and palace maids, and as he turned to leave, he saw a letter between Meipin's hands.

"Bring the letter to our house."

Eunuch Wei pointed at the eunuch who was fawning on him.

The eunuch nodded, tremblingly took the letter from Concubine Mei's hand and handed it to Eunuch Wei.

"Just watch here and don't move. I will report to the emperor right away."

Eunuch Wei gave some instructions and hurried back to the Qianqing Palace with the letter.

"Where is Meipin?"

Ling Xiao was still flustered when he saw Eunuch Wei coming back alone.

Eunuch Wei quickly passed the letter in his hand to Ling Xiao: "Your Majesty, Concubine Mei has committed suicide out of fear of punishment. This is the letter she took out of her hand, and I dare not read it."

Ling Xiao took the letter, read it quickly, and then threw the letter to the ground.

He snorted coldly and said, "Don't think you can escape the blame just because you're dead. I won't let her relatives go either."

"Someone, go and bring Meipin's family to me."

Ling Xiao was so furious that he was determined to punish those people severely this time.

When the girl behind Bai Changfeng heard this, she was so scared that she fell to the ground, covering her mouth and crying.

"Your Majesty, Queen, please spare my life. This was all my own decision. My parents didn't know. If you want to punish me, please punish me. Please, Your Majesty, Queen, please spare my life."

The girl kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Yier."

Luo Shi Lala Sunanyi.

Su Nanyi turned around and Luo immediately shook her head at her, meaning that she should not be let off easily.

Su Nanyi nodded at her. Her mother had really changed. In the past, when she saw someone so pitiful, she would have felt sympathy for her and would have definitely asked her to forgive her.

But today she really won't pursue Meipin's family. She said, "Since Meipin has committed suicide out of fear of punishment, I won't pursue her family. But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Your Majesty, please punish them as you see fit."

"Yier, she was plotting against your life, how could you let her off so easily?" Ling Xiao said in disbelief.

Su Nanyi shook her head at her: "Forget it, the culprit is already dead, why bother to implicate her family? Just think of it as accumulating blessings for the children."

It’s not that she is acting like a saint, but Ling Xiao had already killed a lot of people when he ascended the throne, so it’s not appropriate to kill more people now.

She also wants to leave a good reputation for her son.

"Well, I'll listen to Yi'er."

Yun Xiao turned to look at Eunuch Wei and said in a deep voice, "Throw Meipin to the mass grave and don't let anyone collect her body."

If you want to escape the blame by dying, don't even think about it. Yi'er is soft-hearted, but he won't do that.

If anyone wanted to kill them, he would dig up their ancestral graves.

Everyone present shuddered after hearing this. The emperor was still the emperor, still the cruel and ruthless emperor.

General Bai wiped his sweat off his forehead. He looked at Su Nanyi with gratitude. The Queen was still kind. He said, "Thank you for showing mercy, Queen. I will definitely teach my son well."

After saying that, he kowtowed to Su Nanyi and Ling Xiao.

Su Nanyi glanced at him calmly and said, "I didn't say to spare Bai Changfeng. This little brat is so vicious. It's useless to read the instruction manual. You don't need to read the book. Send it to the border and never return to Beijing in this lifetime."

"Yes, thank you, Queen, for not killing me."

General Bai pulled Bai Changfeng together and kowtowed to Su Nanyi again.

But he sighed in his heart, knowing that his son's official career would be over from now on.

But it doesn't matter. He will be a troublemaker if he stays in the capital. Maybe one day they will destroy the general's mansion and send him to the border to let him fend for himself in this life.

Then he took Bai Changfeng and kowtowed to Ling Xiao, then kowtowed to Prime Minister Su, and then left with Bai Changfeng.

The girl was the only one left in the room, and she was already crying like a tearful person.

But she didn't dare cry out loud and could only shed tears silently by herself.

"What's your name?"

Su Nanyi looked at her indifferently and asked.

"Your Majesty, your name is Liu Ping'er."

Liu Ping'er replied while hiccuping.

"How do you think I should punish you?"

Liu Ping'er kowtowed heavily to Su Nanyi: "No matter how the Queen punishes me, it is all my fault. I have harmed not only myself but also my sister."

Su Nanyi nodded gently: "You really deserve to be punished. You have no brains. I will punish you to go to a nunnery to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. You are not allowed to return without a decree."

"Yes, Queen Xie, the Sinful Lady."

Liu Ping'er kowtowed heavily, and her forehead was completely broken, but she seemed to be free of doubts.

Su Nanyi waved at her, and immediately two maids came in, carried her out.

Outside the palace gate, Madam Liu saw Liu Ping'er being carried out. She rushed over crying and said, "Ping'er, why are you so confused? How can I live with you..."

"Ma'am, shut up!"

Lord Liu immediately covered Madam Liu's mouth. This was the gate of the Qianqing Palace, the emperor's palace, and they could not talk nonsense.

"Mammy, can I say a few words to my mother?"

When Liu Ping'er saw her mother so sad, she felt extremely regretful and begged her nanny to escort her.

A maid said expressionlessly, "Hurry up, if the Emperor and Empress find out, it will implicate your parents."

"Yes, thank you, Mammy."

The two maids then let her go.
