"Empress, although I am, I don't know anything about this. The Empress is aware of it!" Feng Shufei's face turned pale. She didn't know whether it was because she was frightened by the revelation of the matter, or because she really didn't know anything.
"Your Majesty, Queen, I don't dare, I'm not a concubine!" Feng Shufei knelt there, her whole body was weak, she just cried and begged.
"Empress Dowager Feng has arrived! Empress Dowager Li has arrived!" the eunuch outside sang in harmony.
Feng Shufei breathed a visible sigh of relief.
Qi Yixiu looked at Concubine Feng Shu with cold eyes and said nothing. He just stood up to greet her: "The two concubines are here."
"What's going on? Only the Ai family knows. How is Jing Xiuyuan? How is the child?" Empress Dowager Feng passed directly over the kneeling Concubine Feng Shu and walked directly to Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu stood up: "Thank you, Empress Dowager Feng, for taking care of me. I'm okay. Fortunately, I was discovered in time. Otherwise, not only the emperor's heir, but also my concubine would have died."
"What are these unlucky words for? What's going on? Concubine Feng Shu, tell me!" Queen Mother Li sat down angrily.
"Not a concubine, not... Queen Mother, aunt, not a concubine..." Feng Shufei said nervously.
"Okay." Qi Yixiu said calmly, "Whatever the facts are, send your two slaves to the Criminal Division. Tell Chen Sizheng that if the Taoist sent in this time dies, he will live to the end."
"There must be some misunderstanding. How could Su Xin do such a thing?" Empress Dowager Feng was also anxious: "Two people seeking death, why don't you tell them what happened?"
Yuchan's forehead was broken from kowtowing a long time ago. Now she half-knelt and half-climbed forward: "Your Majesty, this slave has been wronged. It was Wang Bao who took advantage of this slave's hand. It is true that slave and Chen Si are from the same hometown, but there is nothing wrong with it." Friendship, the eunuch slave who died didn't even know him. This slave was unjustly accused. He hated his master for punishing him three months ago, so he framed his master, so he was so desperate! "
"It's so ridiculous. You're setting up your master to take your own life? Where did that poison come from? Where did you get a eunuch?" Li Chongrong snorted.
"Sister Feng has always been intolerant, but this time she was too cruel." Concubine Kangde shook her head.
"Shut up, everyone." Qi Yixiu said calmly, "Do you have anything to say, Queen Mother?"
Qi Yixiu asked about Queen Mother Feng.
"If it was Su Xin who did it, the Ai family has nothing to say, but how could Su Xin do it? There is also the second prince. She doesn't want his own life, so doesn't she care about the second prince?" Empress Dowager Feng sighed: "Su Xin is incompetent, care It's not good for my subordinates, but these slaves are too courageous. Wang Bao, tell me, do you want to die because you hate your master? You are destined to die. You still have a family at home! good!"
No matter how you sound, this sounds like a threat, but if you say it in public, you are blameless.
Wang Bao was trembling from the beginning, and compared to Yu Chan who was crying for mercy, he never spoke.
Only then did he speak: "It's... it's the slaves who did it. It's the slaves... Concubine Feng Shu regarded the slaves as ants and beat and scolded them at every turn. The slaves were really unbearable! She just knocked over a vase, but she didn't break it. I rewarded my slave forty pieces of gold, and I am really angry!"
"Yu Chan is not innocent! Although the slave borrowed her hand, she also resented the master! The master was afraid of her good looks and never allowed her to get ahead! So she hated the master even more than the slave. Especially after Su Baolin gained favor, Yu Chan Cicadas often say this!"
"You're talking nonsense, I don't think so! I don't think so!" Yu Chan was shocked.
"You are a wolf-hearted person!" Empress Dowager Feng said angrily: "Don't you know the crime of betraying your master? How dare you be so bold!"
"Take them to the Criminal Division." Qi Yixiu waved his hand.
The fourth day of the new year responded and quickly pulled the two people away.
Concubine Feng Shu could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least Wang Bao said that he did it, so there was always room for him to retort.
"Su Xin, you are the master. You are so incapable of controlling your servants, you are really disappointing the Ai family! Look at your negligence, it almost caused a big accident! The Ai family was so anxious just now that they wanted to faint! What if? Jing Xiuyuan is good, aren't you going to make the Ai family unable to behave for the rest of their lives?" Empress Dowager Feng said angrily.
"Yes, aunt, it's my fault, but I really don't know. Wuwuwu, I will definitely control them well in the future. I won't dare to make such a mistake again. Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty..." She She was crying so hard that she looked really scared.
It's just that she is the only one who knows why she is so afraid.
"Mother, Concubine Feng Shu has made such a big mistake, and I cannot condone it. For the sake of her raising the second prince, I will not demote her. As long as I do not punish her at all, I will not be able to convince the public." Qi Yi cultivated.
Empress Dowager Feng breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had to be demoted anyway.
"Of course it should be. The emperor will say it even if he doesn't say anything about the Aijia. Su Xin is really impetuous and should be punished."
"Since the Queen Mother also means this, let's punish Concubine Feng Shu without having to display the sign for one year, and then follow the Queen Mother to copy Buddhist scriptures for three months." Qi Yixiu said calmly.
Concubine Feng Shu was completely relieved: "I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Fortunately, fortunately, it was just that, with the second prince, she was protected after all.
Qi Yixiu glanced at her: "Concubine Feng Shu, if this happens again, I will never tolerate it again."
"Yes, I will never indulge my slaves again, don't worry, Your Majesty." Concubine Feng Shu said hurriedly.
"The Ai family is tired." Queen Mother Li stood up, obviously very unhappy.
The queen quickly stood up and said, "I will take you back."
"Well, Ajun can go out with the Ai family. You don't need to send her away." Queen Mother Li said.
Empress Dowager Feng also stood up: "The Ai family is also leaving. Hey, I am also worried about Jing Xiuyuan, but it scares the Ai family."
With that said, they went out together.
Qi Yixiu walked to the door and said, "Let's all go back. Jing Xiuyuan will stay here for a while."
From just now, Shen Chuliu began to think about how she was going to end this matter.
Now, I finally figured it out. So she said softly: "I will leave first. The emperor is busy with government affairs, so I don't dare to disturb him."
With that said, Shi Shiran left.
Qi Yixiu didn't say anything, just looked at her back and shook his head gently.
He didn't believe that Shen Chuliu didn't understand why he let it go.
However, Qi Yixiu also knew that she would be very angry when she encountered these things.
It's good if you can take care of the overall situation and avoid making trouble. Now it doesn't matter if you just show off your face once.
In the afternoon, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, he came back from the Criminal Division: "Your Majesty, Yuchan really doesn't know much about it. She and Chen Si are a couple. Wang Bao used this to easily stuff the medicine into Yuchan's purse. , and gave it to Chen Si. Chen Si gave the medicine to the hanging eunuch."
"Well, so the eunuch who was hanged didn't know about it?" Qi Yixiu asked.
"Your Majesty, he knew about it, but he probably didn't know it was so serious."
