Everything must be prepared for the New Year first.
This year is the first year since the prince was born, so there are more rules, so naturally there is no room for mistakes.
Amidst all the busy work, the New Year of the year is finally here.
Starting from New Year's Eve, the prince followed the emperor through various etiquette.
There is no promotion process on the first day of the new year this year. Last year, all promotions were completed.
The emperor now favors only a few people, and there is less and less need for promotion.
Because the Queen Mother was ill, she could not accompany her throughout the journey. The Queen has it even harder.
And because the imperial concubine was also ill and could not complete the journey, Concubine Qianshu, Concubine Li De and others had to worry even more.
Of course, they are very willing to do this.
Finally, at the age of fifteen, the queen wanted to give up her life. Fortunately, the second princess helped.
It’s finally time to enjoy the lanterns, but everyone deeply feels that in the past two years, viewing lanterns to show affection has little meaning.
It can only be said that admiring the lanterns means that the emperor remembers you.
You are like Yu Xiurong, who has two lamps.
But what's the use? From the fifteenth day of last year to the fifteenth day of this year, the emperor did not even set foot in her residence.
But people are like this, even if it doesn’t mean much anymore, everyone still hopes for it. It's better than the emperor not even giving you a symbolic meaning, right
The new year is over, and it’s time to settle accounts.
The queen simply used lightning speed to send everyone in front of Mei Xiuyi to the Internal Punishment Division.
After hearing this, Shen Chuliu said after a while: "Don't tell me, although the emperor and the empress are a plastic couple, they have become the same as each other as they grow older."
When he was young, Qi Yixiu basically didn't handle matters in the harem well. To put it bluntly, whether he could get along well or not all depended on his ability.
But now Qi Yixiu is no longer like this, and deals with him quickly and harshly.
When the queen was young, dealing with matters in the harem was nothing to do with herself.
But now the queen is also becoming more and more clear about love and hate.
"Mei Xiuyi is going to be cold this time." Shen Chuliu concluded.
Zhemei listened to her master's strange tone, but she agreed: "This probably originated from the rumors from years ago. I thought it was over. But it turns out that it is waiting here."
"Yeah, isn't this the New Year? Let's celebrate the New Year well first and then talk about it after the New Year." Shen Chuliu said.
As expected, Mei Xiuyi's people had only been in the Criminal Division for half a day before they confessed a bunch of things.
He plotted to kill Yi Jieyu's child and plotted against Qian Jieyu. He also tried to kill Xue Jieyu, but failed.
I injured my forehead on my own.
She killed Sun Gengyi because she was afraid that the matter would be exposed, and she did force him to death with alcohol.
Pearl was not innocent, but she did not dare to send her to the Criminal Division for fear of exposing herself, so Sun Gengyi's death forced her to hang herself.
There are other things. Anyway, Mei Xiuyi can't bear the word "death".
So, when everyone gathered in Fengzao Palace, Mei Xiuyi knelt down on the ground of Fengzao Palace with messy hair, not struggling at all.
After all her people were taken away, she knew that today would happen.
The emperor looked at her: "What do you have to say?"
Mei Xiuyi smiled: "Of course there is." "I admit all my faults. I am not as good as others, so forget it if I lose. Anyway, I have no hope in this life."
"However, my child was born a child who couldn't cry after he was killed. To this day, I don't know if he can be fed. Even if I am full of evil, does the emperor still want to investigate the person who harmed him?"
Qi Yixiu said nothing.
Mei Xiuyi didn't expect him to say anything: "Ms. Jing Guifei, your poisoning has nothing to do with me. Zhenchong Yi is responsible for it. But have you ever doubted why she suddenly went crazy?"
"Zhen Chongyi, no one knows, you are a fool. How can someone who can raise the Ninth Prince to death suddenly become so capable?" Mei Xiuyi smiled again.
"Yi Jieyu, you hate me for harming your child, but do you know that you were just pregnant back then. But Empress Yanfei 'accidentally' mentioned something to me. Of course, I won't whitewash myself. I hope you get pregnant. I'm not convinced. The three of us entered the palace at the same time. I thought that my appearance and family background were not inferior to yours, so I was afraid of Concubine Yan, so I thought she was me. My enemy, I didn’t expect that you would be the first one to get pregnant. I’m not happy that you want to come in front of me.”
"If you are unhappy, you will harm my child..." Yi Jieyu was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"I'm at least obviously unhappy. Is it true that Concubine Yan has lived a clean life these years? My Thirteenth Prince is like this. The first person I suspect is Concubine Yan. By the way, I heard that Concubine Yan is Your palace maid, Gou Qi, died of illness half a year after leaving the palace. What a coincidence. We are familiar with each other, right?"
"I asked Sun Gengyi to do things for me when I moved into Changle Palace. It was Sun Gengyi who told me about the oily paper bag on the soles of her shoes. Before she died, I also asked her clearly. This idea really came from Wolfberry. Woolen cloth."
Mei Xiuyi smiled again: "A coincidence or not? Concubine Yan is sitting clean now, but I am covered in filth."
"Also, Concubine Li De, are you clean? Concubine He, are you clean?" Mei Xiuyi looked at each other: "As I said before, I am not as good as others, so I am willing to die. I only ask the emperor to give me one last grace. , let me die in this position of cultivating rituals."
She knelt down and never got up.
"I do as you wish." Qi Yixiu said calmly.
Yan Fei was mentioned all the time, but she didn't say a word.
Concubine Li De wanted to refute, but she said nothing when she saw this.
The concubine didn't speak either.
For a moment, the palace was very quiet.
Mei Xiuyi was sent back to Jinhuaxuan.
Shen Chuliu didn't say anything from beginning to end. It wasn't until he went back that Zhemei asked, "Is there really someone else's handwriting in that matter?"
Shen Chuliu shook his head: "I don't know, let's check."
"Maybe there is, or maybe it's just that Mei Xiuyi is unwilling to take a few backings before she dies."
"But what she said is true and false. That thing about wolfberry is true." Suihong said.
"She has no evidence. Everything is speculation." Shen Chuliu said.
This is also the reason why Concubine Yan can sit still. Because it can be explained in one sentence, that is, Mei Xiuyi has reached the end of her life and is just climbing and biting randomly.
"The law does not punish everyone, and it is the same here." Shen Chuliu said.
"What's more, over the years, Concubine Yan, Concubine He, and Concubine Mei Xiuyi have always competed fiercely for favor. It's not unusual for her to drag the other two with her if she's going to die. As for Concubine Li De, maybe she just wants to muddy the waters. ?”
When Shen Chuliu said this, he didn't have such thoughts in his heart.
People cannot stand doubt.
However, she didn't want to jump to conclusions without evidence.
Rubbing her head, she sighed: "Don't worry about these things, just take your time."
Take your time, the emperor should check it out.
"Master, Mei Xiuyi is ill, and the emperor asked Eunuch Laba to give him a special tonic." Yuan Xiao came in and said.
