Chen Palace

Chapter 91
Concubine Zhou, who had already rushed to Xihuamen in Xushi, was proved by her palace people that she returned before Haishi. In this way, the suspicion of her killing Concubine Qi was self-defeating.

The emperor glanced at the empress dowager, and said slowly: "Empress mother, no matter how immoral Concubine Zhou did, this major murder has nothing to do with her!"

The queen mother's eyes flickered slightly, and she sighed: "It seems that she has provoked someone, and deliberately designed her into the game."

The queen interjected from the side: "Concubine Zhou Gui has a strong nature, and everyone in the palace has complaints about her!"

Chen Lu watched coldly, knowing that they had something to say, so she got up and resigned.

There was a patter of rain outside, and in the darkness, she declined the paper umbrella offered by the maid in the corridor, and walked alone in the rain.

The long, deep and wide corridor seemed to be endless. She glanced at the dilapidated eaves on the northwest corner, thinking of the woman imprisoned in the cold palace, and her heart was at a loss.

I have cleared the injustice of murder for her, but the crime of immorality and adultery is enough to make her beyond redemption.

Did she ever regret it?

The sound of the rain gradually became louder, and the heavy glazed palace walls, in a thousand turns, were dimmed in brilliance, almost being obliterated by the night.

A bamboo umbrella was placed over her head, she turned her head leisurely, and saw Qu Yun standing beside her holding the umbrella handle.

"Are you finally willing to come see me?!"

She pursed her lower lip, pulled out a half-smile expression, and turned her head almost angrily.

"You're being too nonsense..."

Qu Yun stared at her for a long while before sighing helplessly.

"You said this 30 years ago, it's not new!"

Having said that, Chen Lu still took the umbrella in his hand, and the two walked side by side all the way, listening to the loud and loud sound of rain in their ears, and the many times of grievances were swept away.

"It's really refreshing... At this moment, I'm actually a little envious of Concubine Zhou..."

Morning Dew lifted her skirt, and the scent of gardenias came faintly from the flower garden beside the road, in a trance.

"I envy her. No matter how miserable it is, there is always someone who is worried about her and waiting... It is easy to find a priceless treasure, but it is rare to have a lover. This is true."

Her voice was cold and indifferent, but in this dark night, it was an unconcealable loneliness.

****
The next day, the emperor issued an imperial edict, posthumously conferring on Concubine Qi as "Imperial Concubine Yizhao", and buried this favorite concubine in the palace with the utmost grandeur.

Concubine Zhou Gui was sent back to her own palace, but she was still not allowed to come and go freely.

Qi Rong was very brooding about this, and the emperor held the cup with him in person, and had a private talk with him at the night banquet, and after explaining all the strange things, he came back in dismay.

Before leaving the palace, he looked towards the south of the capital with an extremely angry expression——

To the south is the place where the emperor's clan lived together, including the residence of King Jing.

Seeing that there was no movement in the inner garden, Qu Yun couldn't help feeling puzzled, and asked Chen Lu, "How does the emperor plan to deal with Concubine Zhou?"

"An ordinary king, if he finds out that his concubine is having an affair with someone, he must be furious, and it's not a problem to punish his nine clans..."

Qu Yun frowned and said: "General Zhou is guarding the front line, if you deal with it too harshly, there may be chaos..."

He thought for a while, and speculated: "Could it be that she was ordered to commit suicide in private?"

Chen Lu stared out of the window, and said meaningfully: "You are thinking wrong this time..."

She said softly: "The emperor ordered Concubine Zhou to go to the Yuexin Nunnery in the suburbs of Beijing to take hair practice, and she must be called back to the palace."

"Such a light punishment?!"

Qu Yun was surprised: "Is he taking care of Zhou Jun?"

Chen Lu shook her head and said, "I thought so too, but Yuan Qi only said one thing——"

She met Qu Yun's questioning gaze, and said word by word: "He said, 'One day husband and wife, one day grace'."

what? !

Qu Yun froze on the spot, and after a long time, he burst out a sentence:
"He is really different from Yuan Xu..."

****
On the day Concubine Zhou left the palace, there was no one to see her off. She didn't lament the cruelty of the world, but just looked back at the many palaces behind her, and got into the car without nostalgia.

The car drove to the Changting Pavilion on the outskirts of Beijing, but there was a group of people waiting there.

A waiter in Tsing Yi stepped forward and stopped the driver——

"Mrs. Chen is here to give you a farewell farewell."

Concubine Zhou jumped out of the car, and saw a woman in plain clothes waiting at the table under her fiery eyes in the pavilion with high cornices.

"What's the matter with you?"

She walked to the table and asked directly, she didn't think that the other party simply came for a farewell party.
