Chapter 313: Punishing Chun Er, Shi Shao Enters the Palace
"What Huipin said is quite interesting. What else is there to say about this matter now? Chun Changzai has not offended anyone else in the palace except Concubine Xuan."
"If it wasn't Concubine Xuan, could it be that you were the one who killed Concubine Chun?"
Concubine Hua raised her phoenix eyes and spoke in a mocking tone.
"What's going on?"
Just at this moment, the emperor walked in with a majestic look on his face.
After all, he had just come out of court and heard such ridiculous remarks, so his mood was naturally not very good.
Not to mention, he simply didn't believe that his own Xier would do such a thing.
This Chun Changzai dares to casually implicate the high-ranking concubines without even a single piece of evidence. It can be seen that this person is extremely bold.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
When the Queen saw the Emperor coming in, she quickly stood up and led the concubines to pay their respects to the Emperor.
"It is because Concubine Chun suspected that Concubine Xuan poisoned her out of jealousy, so I had to ask her."
The Queen pretended to be innocent and pushed all the blame onto Chun Changzai, while she herself was not involved at all.
"is it?"
The emperor looked at Chun Changzai who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't intend to meet you and Concubine Xuan that day, and I didn't mean to seduce you, but I didn't expect Concubine Xuan to be so cruel to me. My poor maidservant also lost her life because of this. I really can't accept this and want justice."
When Chun'er saw the emperor coming, the expression on her face became even more aggrieved, and tears rolled down her fair cheeks. She looked pitiful and innocent, and people wanted to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
"I see. Concubine Xuan, do you have anything to say?"
The emperor didn't even look at Concubine Chun's behavior. He turned to look at Concubine Xuan and asked.
"I have never had such thoughts, and I will never do such a thing that is against the will of heaven and earth."
"Besides, the emperor knows all about what happened that day. I really don't understand why I would attack someone whose position and favor are lower than mine."
Fu Cha Zhixi's words directly tore off Chun'er's last fig leaf.
You said that I attacked you because I was jealous of you, but you are not as good as me in any way, so why should I frame you?
"Of course I believe you. You are not that kind of person."
The emperor raised his lips into a gentle smile and gave Fu Cha Zhixi a trusting look.
"Chun Changzai, I have listened to you and understand what you mean."
"However, you have no evidence, and you want to claim the title of concubine based on your own conjectures?"
"Empress, is this how you manage the harem for me?"
After saying this, the emperor stared at the queen with a questioning tone.
Upon hearing this, the queen quickly stood up and knelt before the emperor.
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I just feel sorry for Concubine Chun who has suffered such a disaster, and I want to find out the murderer as soon as possible, so."
"So, you can just let others slander Concubine Xuan at will?"
The emperor interrupted the queen without any hesitation.
"Get up, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again in the future."
The emperor stared at the queen for a while and then spoke in a calm tone.
"Yes, I will be more careful in the future."
The Queen lowered her head and spoke.
"Chun Changzai, I know you have encountered such a thing and I am eager to catch the murderer, but this is not a reason for you to casually associate with high-ranking concubines."
"In that case, I will ground you for a month so you can reflect on your actions."
The emperor originally wanted to confine Chun Changzai to house arrest for three months, but seeing that she almost lost her life was so pitiful, he softened his heart a little.
"Yes, I obey the order."
Seeing this, Chun Changzai didn't dare to say anything more and had to agree obediently.
Fu Cha Zhixi remained silent throughout the whole process. After all, she didn't think the emperor would misunderstand that she did it.
If this is true, then all her previous efforts will be in vain.
After Chun Changzai was punished and confined to her room, peace returned to the harem once again.
The Queen investigated the poisoning of Concubine Chun for a long time but could not find any results.
The emperor did not have any major objections to this. After all, recently Nian Gengyao's second son Nian Fu had his legs deliberately broken when he returned home one day.
After Nian Gengyao learned about this, he rushed to the palace that day to report the matter to the emperor.
Nian Gengyao made it clear that he wanted the emperor to help him find out who did it.
So the emperor was busy with the affairs of the Nian family at the moment and had no time to care why a little maid was poisoned. Anyway, no one was killed.
A few days later, there was still no result on the matter of Nian Fu's leg being deliberately broken, which made Nian Gengyao and his family very angry.
At this time, the Nian family once again proposed to let Nian Gengyao's younger sister Nian Shishao enter the palace. Nian Gengyao suspected that because Nian Shilan had fallen out of favor, the emperor no longer trusted and valued their Nian family as before.
Therefore, he finally acquiesced to sending Nian Shishao into the palace.
By the time Nian Shilan found out about this, Nian Shishao had already been sent to the palace by Nian Gengyao.
However, the emperor deliberately sent Nian Shishao to the Yiku Palace where Nian Shilan lived, and even asked Su Peisheng to send her there personally.
"Greetings to Concubine Hua, may the queen be blessed with good health and good health."
Su Peisheng bowed respectfully to Concubine Hua.
"Father-in-law, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
Hua Fei looked at Su Peisheng with some anticipation. She didn't know at this moment that Su Peisheng came here for his little sister.
"Reporting to Concubine Hua, the Emperor said that Concubine Nian and Concubine Hua are sisters, so the Emperor arranged for Concubine Nian to live in the Yikun Palace, which will also make it easier for Concubine Hua and Concubine Nian to have a sisterly relationship."
Su Peisheng glanced at Concubine Hua and secretly felt a little pity for her. After all, Concubine Hua was sincere to the emperor, but now she had to watch her sister being favored by the emperor.
"What did you say?"
"What noble man?"
Concubine Hua looked at Su Peisheng with some disbelief.
"This noble lady Nian was personally brought to the palace by General Nian today. The Emperor specially gave her the title of noble lady Nian for the sake of General Nian and Concubine Hua."
Su Peisheng explained with a smile.
"Nian's family."
Hua Fei watched it again with some disbelief.
"You mean, this was sent to the palace by my brother himself?"
Concubine Hua still didn't want to believe that her brother would agree to send Shi Shao into the palace. Why would Shi Shao enter the palace when she was already engaged?
"Yes, ma'am."
"General Nian personally brought her to the palace."
Su Peisheng lowered his head and spoke.
