Chapter 295: Concubine Rou is not as black-hearted as you say
For Shen Zhinian, the biggest gain today was that from this moment on, the good reputation that Concubine Liang had built up over the years was completely destroyed!
Even if the real murderer behind the scenes is not Concubine Liang, she can prove her innocence one day, but her lost reputation cannot be restored.
When Concubine Liang tried to show kindness to others again, they would never believe her as before. Even if she wanted to continue pretending to be a good person, she couldn't do it anymore.
Ruoli's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt as if the sky had fallen: "My Lady..."
In the harem, only Concubine Liang sat on the position of the Four Concubines, and she was the first person under the Imperial Concubine!
Why did the Queen end up being imprisoned like the Empress...
In comparison, Concubine Liang's reaction was much calmer.
The death of a concubine who was not favored and had a humble family background was not a big deal. She was one of the four concubines, and even if Concubine Liu was killed, as long as the reason was good, it would not matter in the end.
The reason why His Majesty was furious was because a concubine was poisoned at a palace banquet, and so many high-ranking concubines were implicated. If it is not dealt with seriously, how will the civil and military officials in the court view the royal family?
His Majesty is angry, and her defense now will only have the opposite effect.
Concubine Liang looked at Nangong Xuanyu with no surprise or resentment, but with a bit of grievance in her calmness, and then bowed deeply: "Now all the evidence points to me, I know that no matter how I explain, it will be useless, and I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty."
"I am willing to accept the punishment and live in seclusion in Changchun Palace from now on. I will serve Your Majesty when the truth comes out."
"Your Majesty, I bid you farewell!"
After saying this, Concubine Liang slowly left with Ruoli's support.
Even at this moment, there were still some concubines who had received the favor of Concubine Liang and firmly believed that she was innocent. Seeing Concubine Liang being framed to this extent, their eyes were red: "Madam Concubine Liang..."
Concubine Liu sneered, "Pretending!"
The emperor looked in the direction where Concubine Liang left, with a deep look in his eyes, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
Seeing this scene, Concubine Liu was a little angry, but she didn't dare to continue to add insult to injury to Concubine Liang.
Shen Zhinian was sighing that Concubine Liang's tactic of retreating to advance was really well used.
If she kept saying that she was wronged and begged the emperor to believe her because of their years of friendship, it would only make the emperor disgusted.
By thinking of the emperor wholeheartedly and calmly accepting the punishment he gave, she could retain a good image in the emperor's heart.
If one day, things take a turn for the better, Nangong Xuanyu will think of what happened today and feel that he owes her even more.
It turns out that none of those who can climb to the position of concubine in the harem are simple characters.
Of course...except Concubine Wen.
Shen Zhinian couldn't help but feel curious... Jiang Wange fell into the emperor's gentle trap, thinking that she was his true love and exception. What would happen if one day she found out that the emperor's pampering of her was just a means to kill her?
Shen Zhinian is looking forward to it...
As this matter came to an end, the celebration banquet also came to an end.
Zhao Yungui looked at Shen Zhinian worriedly.
In the past, she only knew that the deep palace was dangerous, but after experiencing what happened tonight, she realized firsthand that the harem was really a place where people could be killed without bloodshed...
Sister Chinen must have suffered a lot to be able to fight her way through so many beauties, become the head of a palace, and even become pregnant with the royal heir.
She felt a little distressed...
Shen Zhinian nodded towards Zhao Yungui from a distance and gave her a reassuring look.
Any road to success is full of thorns, but she has no regrets and is not afraid!
Zhao Yungui then smiled and left with Madam Zhao.
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. On the way home in the carriage, seeing that she was worried, Madam Zhao asked, "Are you still worried about Concubine Rou?"
Zhao Yungui nodded: "My daughter just feels that Sister Zhinian has had a hard time. She has never had her mother's love since she was a child, and she grew up in such a cold and indifferent family. Now she is in a dangerous harem..."
Perhaps it's because apart from her good friend, Sister Chinen has never experienced warmth and affection, so she only seeks power and wealth.
Zhao Yungui didn't think there was anything wrong with this, he just wanted his friend to have an easier life.
Madam Zhao said lovingly, "Lady Roupin saved you during the selection last year, and she has done a great favor to the Zhou family. Both our Zhao family and the Zhou family will support her in secret."
The court and the harem are inseparable. If you have power in the court, life in the harem will not be too difficult.
If not, why did Your Majesty simply deprive Concubine Liang of her power and imprison her when she committed such a big mistake?
If it were any other concubine without any background, His Majesty would have given her a cup of poisoned wine and had her executed.
the other side.
Shen Maoxue was riding a horse in front, enjoying the breeze to sober himself up.
Zhou and Shen Nanqiao got on the carriage, the latter's body was still trembling slightly...
so close……
She almost ended up in the palace again in this life. She didn't know if she would have the good luck to start over again...
Zhou's eyes were full of heartache. She patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay. It's okay."
Shen Nanqiao tightly grasped Zhou's arm: "Mom! The palace is too scary! I never want to come here again..."
A trace of gloom flashed across Zhou's eyes: "She has climbed to a high position now, but we have not gained any benefits, but have suffered a lot of disadvantages!"
Without Zhou's explanation, Shen Nanqiao knew who she was talking about.
Thinking back to when the crested red fell out of her body in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Nanqiao thought she was finished!
Unexpectedly, it was Shen Zhinian who had been arguing for her, which saved her from going to the Ministry of Punishment.
Shen Nanqiao said in a complicated tone: "Mom, maybe Concubine Rou is not as black-hearted as you say..."
Zhou looked at her and sneered, "Have you forgotten that the splendor that Roupin has now was given to her by you! Do you regret seeing her so high and mighty?!"
Shen Nanqiao pouted her lips and snorted, "The one who laughs last is the winner!"
"Mother, you have seen how dangerous the harem is today. How can it compare to being a first-rank imperial concubine in the outside world? I am only waiting for my husband to win the first prize in the autumn examination!"
Shen Nanqiao now has a very complicated feeling towards Shen Zhinian.
In simple terms, she hopes that the other person lives a good life, but she doesn't want the other person to live better than her...
……
Changchun Palace.
Concubine Liu sent someone to take away Concubine Liang's account books and seals overnight.
With a "bang", the gate of Changchun Palace was closed tightly, and the guards surrounded the place!
It was just a pity for Concubine Kang who lived in the right side palace. She had to be checked by the guards every time she entered or left.
In the main hall.
Concubine Liang sat in the main seat, her face always maintaining a gentle expression, but a hint of gloom flashed in her eyes.
"This time, I was careless and someone took advantage of me."
Ruoli asked angrily: "My Lady, who framed us this time?!"
Concubine Liang analyzed calmly: "There are only a few people around..."
