Chapter 148 Heavenly Punishment
for what?Could it be that she wanted to cause a natural fire?Shen Hanlu really wanted to bite off her own tongue, what was meant by stealing chickens without losing money, she lost a piece of colored glaze, and now she is still suspected of being a murderer.

"Concubine Hua and you are the only ones going to Yonghe Palace." Gu Chaobei said: "Concubine Hua didn't bring anything, but you brought a box. The box found in the backyard of Yonghe Palace was not Concubine Yan's. The answer seems to be very clear." Gu Chaobei He raised his eyebrows and said this.

Shen Han showed his face and "washed" the ground, and the ground turned white. Jiang Concubine, who was kneeling behind him, saw that it was a good opportunity, and hurriedly threw stones into the hole: "Didn't everyone say that Concubine Shen is a half-immortal before? No wonder this thing is so effective. It turns out that it is not a demon method." , It’s a magic trick.”

Shen Guiyan returned to her seat and sat down, cleared her suspicions, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with her.

Concubine Fu Gui frowned and looked at Shen Hanlu, even the emperor doubted her, so there was nothing else to say.Concubine Hua also cast her gaze over.

"The concubine is wronged, and the concubine and the concubine have no enmity." Shen Hanlu said.

"You and Concubine Xi have no grievances or enmities, but if you want to blame Concubine Yan Gui, it is not surprising that you use Concubine Xi as an excuse." Concubine Hua said: "You are the only one in the palace who has such ability. Dolls can kill."

Shen Hanlu trembled anxiously, but she calmed down and thought, yes, she is a half-immortal.

"Since I got the plaque from the sky, I have been ordered by heaven. If I use immortal methods to harm people, I will be punished by heaven. But now that I am here, it means that I am not the one who hurt people! I am in pain now. Changing the past, I also wanted to settle the old suspicion with Concubine Yan Gui, so I sent Liuli over there." Ji Zhongshengzhi, this answer is simply nonsense and people have to believe it.

Even if the concubines present don't believe it, the emperor must believe it.If the divine punishment did not exist, the aboveboard plaque on the court hall would be a joke.

Gu Chaobei snorted softly, swept his eyes over the man below, pursed his lips and said, "I have a decision in my heart, after three days, I have come to a conclusion, and then I will order punishment."

three days?It seems that the crime will be pinned on Concubine Shen, why wait three days?

Concubine Hua turned her head and continued to cry. A box of dolls was moved and burned.Concubine Shen was ordered to confine herself in Luhua Palace for three days.

"The harem is really a scary place." Gao Jinxiu came up to support Shen Guiyan, and said in a low voice, "I will pour all kinds of dirty water on you. Luckily, I explained it clearly, and the emperor believes it."

How could Gu Chaobei not believe it, he would go over to accompany her from time to time, and there was no need for her to spend any more time cursing the doll.Even if the handwriting on the doll is hers today, Gu Chaobei will not convict her.

That person is usually not very serious, but he said that he would not let her be wronged, but he would not.Shen Guiyan smiled softly, took Gao Shi's hand and said, "Recently there are too many things going on in the palace, and the palace is closed, so you have to be more careful."

Gao smiled and said: "I am a little noble who has nothing, how can I offend these empresses, don't worry, I will be careful."

Shen Guiyan patted her hand, then turned to look at Gu Chaobei.

The emperor was in Fuyin Palace and had no intention of leaving immediately.After all, it was the woman who once admired him, and now she died tragically, he must feel very uncomfortable.Shen Guiyan felt that she should be more generous and allow Gu Chaobei to feel sad for a while.

So she turned around very coolly and went back to Yonghe Palace first.

Shen Hanlu was extremely unwilling to be imprisoned, crying and shouting to appeal and seek justice.

Fu Guipin shook his fan and hummed softly, "That's all it takes."

Concubine Hua sat on the side, drinking tea calmly.The weather in the imperial garden was just right, so it was a bit strange for these two people who had nothing to do with each other to sit together.

"Concubine Hua is a smart person, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up." Concubine Fu turned to look at Concubine Hua.

This person seemed to have been in close contact with Concubine Shen, and he seemed to be in an alliance.But today when Concubine Shen had an accident, she was the first one to step on her, leaving herself clean, her technique was so neat.

Concubine Fu Gui does not like Concubine Hua, she is too scheming.But now she has a higher status than herself and is favored.If you have something to say, Fu Guipin naturally wants to listen.

"I am very worried about my future." Concubine Hua looked melancholy, and cut straight to the point: "Does Concubine Fu know why Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xi died so easily?"

Fu Guibin was taken aback, and looked at her suspiciously.

"A person has no roots, just like a duckweed in the water. He can only be swept away by the lake, and he can't decide his own position." Concubine Hua said softly: "I was born in Zuihuayin together with those two, thanks to the emperor's love, We have today. But once someone wants to move us, it’s too easy, there is no family behind us, and no one will cry at the grave after death, and we are all alone on the road to Huangquan.”

A little moved by what she said, Fu Guipin said: "Concubine Hua's life is much better than the other two, at least her life is still alive, and she has the grace to add to her body."

"Yes." Concubine Hua smiled wryly: "But what's the use, maybe it will be Ben Gong's turn to lie down at some point."

Fu Guipin cautiously did not speak, and waited for Concubine Hua to clarify her meaning.Concubine Hua didn't dawdle too much, she looked up at Concubine Fu and said, "Concubine Fu, you are different. There is a scholar Fu behind you, and I heard that Uncle Wen Guo also likes you very much. It’s not impossible to be in the back position.”

Looking around, Fu Gui concubine said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are serious, concubines don't have such big thoughts, and concubines feel that it is enough to live a stable life in this harem."

The words said so, but the expression on his face did not say so.Concubine Hua also understood it, and immediately pushed a bracelet given by the imperial concubine over, holding Concubine Fu and talking for a long time, the two of them seemed to exchange handkerchiefs in an instant.

However, when leaving the imperial garden, the smiles on the faces of the people walking on both sides were instantly put away, and there was no shortage of calculations in their eyes.

Shen Hanlu felt that she couldn't sit still and waited for death, and after thinking about it, she had no other choice but to make a fuss about the plaque.

She represents God's will, Your Majesty, please think again?
Gu Chaobei went to Luhua Palace on the second day of her confinement, but Shen Hanlu couldn't get close to him, so she knelt three steps away and howled.

"I know it's not you," said the emperor.

Shen Hanlu was so overjoyed that tears were about to come out, she just felt that Gu Chaobei was here to be a hero to save the beauty.

Gu Chaobei smiled and said: "But all the evidence points to you, I am very embarrassed."

"Then what should we do?" Shen Hanlu looked at him and said, "The emperor save my concubine."

"It's not impossible." Gu Chaobei said, "But you have to cooperate with me."

No matter how you look at this conversation, it looks like there is a pit ahead, Gu Chaobei led this person to jump.But he smiled so beautifully that Shen Hanlu's heart was moved, and he remembered the first time we met at the wedding hall a long time ago.

When she lifted her hijab, she saw him. She didn't marry him, but she gave her heart to him.After tossing for so long, maybe it's not possible to spend a full moon?

Shen Hanlu felt that she was just fighting for something, and it wasn't like she had done anything wrong, right?On the contrary, it was Shen Guiyan who wanted to kill her and blocked her way again and again. In her opinion, Shen Guiyan was the bad guy.

Is it possible, is it possible that Gu Chaobei still likes her?

Thinking about it this way, Shen Hanlu couldn't see the coldness in Gu Chaobei's eyes at all, and nodded hastily.

On the third day after Concubine Shen was grounded, Concubine Jiang came to look for Shen Guiyan.

She was extremely anxious, seeing that Concubine Shen was about to be accused of crimes, and that day in Fuyin Palace, she had turned against Concubine Yan Gui.

So hurry up and explain.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Baoshan.

"My master said that no one will be seen before the emperor announces the result of the punishment." Baoshan said with a gentle smile, "Mrs. Concubine Jiang, please go back."

Concubine Jiang was a little panicked: "The concubine came here specially to plead guilty."

"It doesn't matter who is guilty, what crime does the empress ask for?" Baoshan said with a smile: "Please go back."

After being shut down, Concubine Jiang turned around helplessly and walked back. As soon as she got out of the Yonghe Palace, she bumped into Concubine Hua.

"I'm waiting for the emperor to announce the result, but you are free to wander around." Concubine Hua smiled and pulled Concubine Jiang over: "Let's go, you can go to Ben Gong and wait."

Concubine Xi died only two days ago, and Concubine Hua cried so much that day in Fuyin Palace, everyone could see it, why is she smiling now in the blink of an eye?

Concubine Jiang felt a little chilly in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "When I went back, I suddenly thought that there should not be many people in this palace who know the birth date of each concubine, right?"

Concubine Hua paused and looked at her with a smile: "Yes."

Only those who have the right to manage the harem have the opportunity to find the horoscopes of the concubines in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.And there are only two such people in the harem.

A concubine Yan and a concubine Hua.

Concubine Jiang's heart sank, she stopped and said, "My concubine wants to go to the bathroom, should I go first?"

"Okay." Concubine Hua didn't force her, she smiled and watched her run towards Gongfang.

Her heart was beating so hard that Concubine Jiang just wanted to run away from Concubine Hua.There are only Gongfang used by the palace people around here, and I can't control many, let's talk about it in the past.

Concubine Jiang was relieved when Concubine Hua was no longer in sight behind her. Her mind was in a mess, so she didn't notice that there was an eunuch walking towards her with a rope behind her.

The neck tightened, and by the time Jiang Biyue came to her senses, she couldn't breathe anymore.

Someone is going to kill her?

She wanted to yell, but couldn't make a sound.She immediately understood who the murderer of Concubine Xi was, but unfortunately it was too late, and she didn't even have the chance to file a complaint.

"Grab him!" A heavy shout came from the front moon gate, and Concubine Jiang suddenly felt her neck loosened, and coughed violently.

Zhuiyun quickly ran past her, chasing after the escaped eunuch.The emperor walked over slowly and helped her up from the ground: "Is it okay?"

Jiang Biyue burst into tears with a "wow", hugged Gu Chaobei's waist and cried until the sky was dark, her body kept shaking, and she cried for a long time before saying: "Hua... Hua..."

"Do you want to stay in the palace, or follow my arrangement and go out for the rest of your life?" Gu Chaobei asked her calmly.

Jiang Biyue was stunned.

People who come back from the gate of hell will cherish their lives very much.Concubine Jiang looked at Gu Chaobei for a long time, and couldn't help crying again.

Everyone was waiting in Fuyin Palace, Concubine Shen was also brought out, her expression calmed down a lot.Concubine Hua stood aside with her eyes downcast, muttering the scriptures of transcendence.

Concubine Fu looked around and asked curiously, "Where is Concubine Jiang?"

"Not yet." Ye Bin said softly.

Concubine Yan is here, but Concubine Jiang is still here?Concubine Fu Gui couldn't help but look back at Concubine Hua, who gave her a gentle smile.

The murder case in the palace, the Empress Dowager Nian also came after a while.Just brought Yuwen Changqing and Fu Xueshi.When Fu Guifei saw Fu Xueshi, she was obviously a little excited, and the Empress Dowager Nian said: "Fu Xueshi just came to the palace today to discuss with Ai's family about repairing the library. He's coming along."

Fu Guipin came out and kowtowed, and said very gratefully: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Once entering the palace, the gate was as deep as the sea, and even relatives were not allowed to see each other. Concubine Fu Gui was extremely happy to be able to meet like this.

However, the Empress Dowager Nian is not a little angel with wings, so there is no reason to bring Bachelor Fu here for nothing.

The emperor came after a while, and everyone took their seats. Concubine Hua asked first, "Didn't the emperor say that the punishment decision will be announced today?"

"En." Gu Chaobei nodded: "I'm waiting for her to come."

she?who?Isn't the murderer Shen Hanlu?

Everyone was wondering, someone came in with long hair and plain clothes outside.

It was Jiang Biyue.

Concubine Hua frowned, her face darkened.The rest of the people were very curious, what was Concubine Jiang doing with this outfit?
"The concubine has something to say." Jiang Biyue knelt down in the hall, with tears still on her face, she looked up at the emperor and said.

Concubine Hua panicked, pursed her lips and said, "Concubine Jiang, you come out dressed like this, how decent is it?"

Concubine Jiang took a deep look at her, Concubine Hua was even more uncertain, she turned her head to the Empress Dowager Nian and said, "Queen Dowager, according to the rules in the palace, concubines should be well-groomed. Regarding the power of assisting the Six Palaces entrusted by the emperor, this concubine will take Concubine Jiang down to teach her a lesson..."

"Why is Sister Concubine Hua so flustered?" Shen Guiyan said indifferently, "Concubine Jiang has something to say, so let her finish talking before talking about appearance."

"But..." Concubine Hua's palms were wet, and her face was very ugly.Concubine Shen next to her turned her head to look at her and sneered.

Jiang Concubine said: "Concubines are sinners. They should take off their clothes and wear plain hair. They don't need to be taught by your mother."

sinner?Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows.Fu Guipin couldn't help but look at her more.

Concubine Shen next to her had already stood up, raised her chin high and said, "I knew you would surrender yourself."

Concubine Hua was dumbfounded for a moment, then stared blankly at Shen Hanlu.

Concubine Jiang's body trembling below her, she knelt down and said: "I beg Concubine Shen to forgive me, this concubine doesn't dare anymore, this concubine doesn't dare anymore, this concubine can't stand the taste of God's punishment!"

Everyone was in an uproar, Fu Xueshi was also taken aback, and the emperor and queen mother on the seat all looked serious.

What is God's punishment?
