Things seemed to have calmed down completely tonight.
The beautiful concubine returned to her palace in a daze, with a little maid beside her. Her beauty was gone. She looked at the empty room, and her heart became empty as well.
Without Hua Rong, it was like she had lost a piece of protective clothing. She was very uneasy and didn't know what to do next.
In everything before, Huarong handled everything calmly. Without Huarong, Fangbi began to worry about the future.
She sat there and shed tears. She felt sad for Hua Rong's death, regretful for her own recklessness, and even more saddened by the emperor's ruthlessness.
She was just a prostitute, and her Liu family paid so much, and both sisters served him and were buried in this palace. The Liu family has never been stingy in paying money, but the emperor had to warn himself like this for a prostitute.
He also killed Hua Rong and broke her arm.
After sitting for a long time, the maid next to me came forward to persuade her, "My queen, go and have a rest. You have to return to the palace tomorrow morning."
Only then did Fangbi wipe away her tears and turned back to bed.
But when he opened the quilt, a letter fell out.
It's Hua Rong's handwriting.
Fang Bi quickly opened it and read it. When she read the content, Fang Bi couldn't help crying.
Hua Rong knew that if she went there tonight, she would have to bear the wrath of the Holy One. She chose to confess her crime herself and save her concubine.
She knew from the beginning that if this failed, Fang Concubine would not be able to escape. She had to stand up and get rid of Fang Concubine's charges.
The emperor still needs the Liu family, so naturally he will not touch the concubines easily. As long as one person comes out to bear the crime, the matter will be over.
Huarong told her to take good care of herself, never to be willful again, to overthink everything, not to act recklessly, to hold back and wait for the opportunity.
Let her go to Concubine De to plead for mercy, use the eldest lady's affection to plead for mercy, be sure to ask Concubine De for forgiveness, and wait for the opportunity.
She should not think too much about revenge. Things in the palace are complicated and personal hatred is meaningless. Let her think more about her family and give birth to a child. This way, the future of the Liu family will not be miserable and she can stand tall in the palace.
The eloquent content is all about Hua Rong's worries, how not to make the concubine sad.
Late at night, another bad news came from Yibi's residence. When Wanqin got up last night, she lost her footing and fell into the water. She drowned by the river. When she was found, she floated to the shore and she was so hard.
Concubine Lan came to Jinxin early in the morning and told her about this.
"Don't report these small things back to the emperor, just find a place to bury them," Jin Xin said.
The emperor may not care.
The hunting competition needs to be presided over by the emperor, so he will no longer care about the affairs here.
Jin Xin didn't insist on Concubine Lan doing anything, but if a person didn't have any shortcomings or reasons, but she knew some of her own secrets, it would be unsafe after all.
If a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.
Jin Xin had no choice but to do this in this deep palace where people were eaten.
Fortunately, Concubine Lan could understand her and was willing to cut herself open and interact with her.
Concubine Fang was ready to be escorted back to the palace, but before going back, she sent someone to ask for a meeting with Jin Xin.
A letter was also sent, with only the word "Ru" on it.
Liu Yuru is her sister.
"Bring her here." Jin Xin said.
Concubine Fang was brought here. She had not slept all night last night, her face was very poor, and she looked lifeless. As soon as she came in, she knelt in front of Jin Xin and said, "Sister, please forgive me, I was wrong."
Jin Xin remained silent, waiting to see what she was going to say.
"I did something stupid before, which made my sister angry. She can punish me no matter what. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins."
She said it was me, not a concubine, and she wanted to play the emotional card.
"What do you mean?" Jin Xin asked.
"I was the one who poured oil on you before. I was also the one who provoked you and Concubine Xuan. It was also me when you were giving birth. It was also me who deliberately cooperated with the Queen Mother to hide the fact that the emperor knew about your birth. Now I really know that I was wrong. , please forgive me."
After she finished speaking, she stepped forward with an anxious expression, trying to get Jin Xin's attitude.
The emperor's people only gave themselves a quarter of an hour. After finishing speaking, they had to leave and have to rush back.
Jin Xin stared at Fang Concubine with a cold expression, naturally filled with resentment.
She teamed up with the Queen Mother to control the Emperor, preventing her from spreading the news and calling the imperial doctor. She almost died that night, causing her to suffer sequelae that she will never forget.
"What is your purpose?" Jin Xin asked.
"The Queen Mother said, you killed my sister. At the beginning, I entered the palace and treated you as my own sister. When I suddenly learned about this, I was naturally angry. I did something wrong for a moment. I had no purpose. I just ask my sister to help me intercede with the emperor and let me stay."
Fangbi explained anxiously, looking behind her from time to time, fearing that they would come to arrest her.
"Your sister was killed by the queen. The queen took advantage of the eldest princess's illness and took medicine to invite her favor. When I found out, I wanted to save her, but something happened in the afternoon. If I was the one who caused the death, I had nothing to say. At that time If I don’t pursue the truth, the queen may not be so eager to kill people. It’s normal for you to hate me.”
When Concubine Fang heard this, she was startled. Concubine De Gui would not forgive herself for what she said.
She came here with such sincerity, and as long as she asked for mercy, she could stay. How could she stand up after being sent back to the palace like this? Those slaves might look down on her.
"Sister, I know I was wrong. I don't hate you. Please forgive me." Fang Bin said anxiously.
The guard outside came in and said to Concubine De, "My Lady, the time has come. I have to take my concubine away."
Jin Xin nodded and agreed.
When Concubine Fang saw this situation, she hurriedly left the guards aside, stepped forward, and took Jin Xin's hand, "Empress, please don't ignore me. I can't go back like this, please help me!"
Jin Xin didn't want to forgive, and at most he wouldn't target her in the future, but it was impossible to go back to the past.
Concubine Fang was finally pulled out. She cried so hard that she was extremely desperate.
The seventh princess who was passing by and was about to go out saw this scene, frowned, and asked the maid next to her, "Who is this person? He is crying so ugly!"
"Fangbi, the daughter of the richest merchant in the Celestial Dynasty, it was the Liu family who paid for the attack on the vassal state and was able to end the war so quickly."
It is normal for a war without money to last for a year or two, but for a war with money, if there is enough food for both men and horses, it will naturally be resolved in a few months.
The seventh princess understood, "Then the Liu family is still a hero. Then why was she escorted out by the guards."
She had been pestering Gu Zhao the whole time, and she had no time to care about the fights between these women in the harem.
"The emperor's newly appointed concubine was murdered and pushed off a cliff. After being rescued, it was said that the concubine's maid did it. The emperor also got angry with her and sent her back to the palace." The maid explained.
The Seventh Princess frowned when she heard this. She was dragged out of Concubine De's house. Do they have any other festivals to celebrate?
Thinking of this, the Seventh Princess became interested and said with a smile, "Let's go find Concubine Fang."
The maid was stunned, "Didn't you say you wanted General Gu to teach you how to ride a horse?"
"He just ran to the imperial brother's side. We will catch him tonight. Let's go and see the concubine first." The seventh princess said with a gossipy look.
"That's not good." The maid frowned, trying to persuade the princess not to get involved in the harem's affairs.
"What's wrong? Concubine De Gui asked my princess and her husband to come to the feudal country. Sooner or later, my princess will have to take revenge!"
