Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhong Zhiheng's expression, and then hurriedly added: "What's more, the persimmon cake was a tribute from the Shaanxi governor's yamen. It is said that it is a mere palace daughter, even a low-ranking concubine. Absolutely can't eat it, why did the little maid dare to take the persimmon cake in the name of Concubine Shu, and then swallowed it by herself? The concubine has been in the palace for many years, but she has never seen it before. Such a reckless palace man!"
Zhong Zhiheng's face suddenly sank: "You mean that Xiaogong's daughter went to get the persimmon cake in the name of Concubine Shu?"
"It's absolutely true!" Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said, looking at Zhong Zhiheng's expression. I was too busy to continue. "The concubine thought that someone must have instigated this matter, and I don't know who the little palace daughter named Cuiqing took advantage of. She dared to ruin the virtuous name of the concubine Shu and almost endangered the dragon son in the womb of Concubine Hui. .It's really hateful! The concubine thinks this matter should be thoroughly investigated!"
"No need," Zhong Zhiheng said slowly, "Since the daughter of the palace is stubborn, she probably won't be able to ask anything. Just kill her."
Mrs. Zhao was taken aback, and was too busy to ask in a low voice: "Then if sister Hui Concubine asks..."
"It's okay, I'll go and talk to her." Zhong Zhiheng said in a deep voice. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Shi again. "Let's leave this matter at this point, there is no need to worry the Empress Dowager."
"Yes. The concubine understands." Mrs. Zhao replied in a hurry.
"Okay, you go down."
"Yes. The concubine is resigning." At that moment, Mrs. Zhao bowed and resigned.
"Your Majesty, what did Long Live Lord say?" Fu Yi left the Imperial Study Room. The personal maid who had been waiting outside hurried forward to greet her, and while opening the sedan chair curtain, helped Mrs. Zhao get into the sedan chair, while asking in a low voice.
"Go back in a while, and you can watch and deal with that Cuiqing yourself." Mrs. Zhao said in a deep voice.
"Just... execute Cuiqing like this?" The servant girl was stunned, and then asked in a low voice in a hurry, "Hasn't the Lord Long Live made associations with Concubine Shu? Why are you going to execute Cuiqing directly without punishment?"
"Isn't that good?" Mrs. Zhao said slowly, while stroking the gorgeous armor on her hand, she sneered, "It's much better to cast doubts in the emperor's heart than beating him to death with a stick."
The servant girl was startled, but then she understood, she hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is smart."
"Notify the Prime Minister, and tell him that he can act now," said Zhao in a deep voice, "Tell him to take his time, and don't act too hastily."
"Yes, servant girl obeys." The maidservant hurriedly bowed and agreed, while lowering the sedan chair curtain.
…
Yanxi Palace.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" The servant girl ran in in a panic, and before she could calm down, she anxiously said to Concubine Shu, "My Lady, it's bad! The imperial concubine just ordered Cui Qing to be executed!"
"What?" The white jade fan in her hand fell to the ground suddenly, Concubine Shu stood up with a pale face, looked at the maidservant, and asked with trembling lips, "Did she decide to execute Cui Qing without authorization, or...or Obtained the will of Long Live God?"
"Qi empress, after the imperial concubine came back from the imperial study, she ordered Cuiqing to be executed," Na said anxiously, "it must be the meaning of the Lord Long Live!"
"Plop!"
The next second, Concubine Shu sat back down again, staring straight at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, and then gritted her teeth for a long time and said, "Ms. Zhao is so vicious, I just wish I could put Bengong and King Huijun on the line." To death!"
"Your Majesty is right! King Huijun has always been more respectable than Prince Rong in front of the Lord Long Live. If the imperial concubine and Prince Rong don't say anything, I might hate your Majesty and the Prince of the County so much!" The servant girl also had an indignant look on her face. , "This time, it is really abhorrent to resort to such despicable means to put the blame on the empress! That Cuiqing is just a rough girl, and it is absolutely impossible to serve the empress close by on weekdays, so how could she get the order of the empress?" Why are you going to fetch persimmon cakes? You must have been bought by the imperial concubine to do such a terrible thing! Madam, you must not spare the imperial concubine, you must reverse this sentence!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this," Cui gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Long Live Lord allowed Zhao to deal with Cuiqing without asking clearly, so it can be seen that he has already taken action against me. If there is any suspicion, this Palace will be fine, but if Long Live Lord suspects Prince Daohui, then something bad will happen."
