Early in the morning of the next month, the prince took the imperial edict to the Jinxiu Palace where Concubine Qin lived.
"The imperial edict has arrived, and Concubine Qin will receive it."
Qin Shushuang seemed to have expected the imperial edict to come, and was already dressed up and waiting at the throne of Jinxiu Palace. Hearing Eunuch Wang's voice, Qin Shushuang stood up and straightened his luxurious robes before slowly kneeling to the east.
"By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said: Qin's Shu Shuang has a vicious heart, manipulates the harem, has no way to teach his daughter, and does not abide by the virtues of women. From that month on, he will depose his concubine, demote him to a commoner, and resign himself to the cold palace. From now on, he will not be able to step out of the cold palace. Half a step. Admire this."
"A civilian woman received the edict and thanked the Lord for his kindness." Qin Shushuang calmly received the edict and kowtowed to thank him.
Eunuch Wang looked at Qin Shushuang, who was looking over his shoulder calmly, and secretly shook his head. If I had known about the bright moon, why bother? Not only was Ruming himself deposed, but he also wanted to implicate Princess Yuehua in being deposed as well.
After leaving the Jinxiu Palace, Wang Gonggong went straight to Huangfu Jing's husband's house, Yong'anhou Mansion.
"The imperial edict has arrived. Princess Yuehua will receive it."
The entire Yong'an Hou family knelt outside the hall to receive the imperial edict. Huangfu Jingzi was at the front of the group.
"By God's blessing, the Emperor Zhao said: As a member of the royal family, Princess Yuehua, Huangfu Jing, knew the law and violated the law, conspired and plotted, and killed people to silence her. She should have been severely punished. However, because she still has the intention to repent, her title as princess has been revoked and she has been demoted to a commoner. . Admire this."
Huangfujing walked to the ground with a blushing face. She was finished, and her father was so cruel that she demoted her to a commoner.
Eunuch Wang glanced at Huangfu Jing, who was in despair, and sighed. The emperor's only daughter did not have a noble status, but she did not hesitate to be blessed. In the end, he was demoted to Dongchang as a commoner. Without the status of princess and the support of Concubine Qin, her confinement period in Yong'anhou Mansion would not be a good one.
"Mrs. Yong'anhou, please accept the order!"
When Huangfu Jing heard the words, he tremblingly raised his legs to receive the imperial edict from the east, "I accept the edict and thank you Lord Long for your kindness."
In Longxiang Palace.
Huangfu Cang looked at Long Yue who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "Didn't you find it?"
Hearing this, Long Yue lowered her head in shame, "It's useless to belong to the east." They searched everywhere, but they couldn't find Princess Qinglian.
Huangfu Cang swung his legs and said, "Okay, I won't ask for help for now." Xi'er should be fine.
"The bright moon will celebrate my sixtieth birthday and send people to guard each palace. I don't want to make any mistakes."
"No." Long Yue lowered her head again to accept the order.
"I sent two people to guard the cold palace. There are envoys from Mingyue and the Three Kingdoms. Please be careful and keep an eye on me."
"no."
"Okay, let's go east." Huangfu Cang asked Long Yue and waved his legs.
"Zhudong retires." Long Yue said and disappeared into Longxiang Palace.
Huangfu Cang lay down on the dragon chair a little tiredly. If he could, he really didn't want to put that burden on that child's lap. Being an emperor was too tiring. I wonder if that child will come out of Longyin Hall tomorrow, his sixtieth birthday.
Duanmu Xi in the empty space has turned her back on everything outside the window and has completely entered a state of seclusion.
"Feng, why do you have to ask your master to become a ninth-level Wind Spirit Emperor to take her out?" Hong Ling leaned on Qinglong's arms and asked in confusion.
Hearing this, Qinglong's lips evoked an evil smile, "His Huo'er has already reached the seventh level of a divine beast. If his level is too low, how can he protect me?"
"I am a level nine divine beast. My level is much higher than his. How can I be lower than him?" Hong Ling didn't understand even more.
Qinglong hugged Hong Ling tightly in his arms, "Fool, he never wants to be separated from me again." They have been separated for long enough, and he doesn't want to live that kind of lonely confinement again.
Hong Ling suddenly raised his head and looked at Qinglong, and said in surprise: "I want to make a contract with the master." His level will become lower only if he makes a contract with the master. No wonder he begged his master to practice wind spirit power.
Qinglong looked at Hong Ling and said with a smile: "No, isn't that bad? Then they can never be separated!"
Hong Ling buried her head in Qinglong's arms, "Okay, okay, I always feel wronged." She thought that he, the majestic leader of the four great beasts, wanted to make a contract with a human. Although her master was very good, she felt wronged. he.
Qinglong gently rubbed the top of Hong Ling's hair, "No, she is qualified to be his master." She was destined to be the master of the four sacred beasts, and no one could change that.
Laixun looked at the Yicuo beast in front of him who was hugging each other so kindly, feeling a little envious. I looked around me again, and I saw little Tianlu. He was very young and couldn't move his legs. As for the unicorn, she may look charming, but she is not his type. It's true that he prefers the small pepper type, and the two of them can quarrel easily. Speaking of Little Pepper, he thought of Xiaoying who was sleeping very much.
"Who knows if that pool is mine? Am I carving my name on it..." Could she have pointed at his nose and scolded him at that time? I don’t know when the little pepper will wake up.
In the cold palace.
Qin Shushuang was walking in front of the mirror in plain clothes. The gorgeous clothes I wore at noon have long gone.
Unexpectedly, I had a noble status all my life, but in the end I was demoted to a commoner. Think about how glorious it was for her to marry into the Prince's Mansion as the general's legitimate daughter. Although he and Liu Xinmei were both concubines at that time, he still loved her very much. She even helped him give birth to two children. When did they start to become different
But that woman, since that woman entered the house, he has never looked at her in the eye again, and has never even entered her room again.
How cruel could he be to that woman, a majestic emperor, that he would dismiss her from the harem and keep them as two concubines who had given birth to his children
Haha, if your surname is Qin, you will be called Concubine Qin, and if your surname is Liu, you will be called Concubine Liu. How casual is that? And she, Queen Shengxiao Huiyuan, gave her almost all the most beautiful words in the world. Even though she had been dead for more than twenty years, he had never forgotten her for a day.
The palace door creaked open, interrupting Qin Shushuang's memories.
Liu Xinmei left the two palace ladies outside the palace and walked in carrying the snack box. She looked at Qin Shushuang walking in front of the mirror and said with a smile: "Sister, sister is here to see me."
Qin Shushuang looked at Liu Xinmei, who was dressed up, with a sneer on his lips, "Look at him? Are you here to see a joke?"
Liu Xinmei's smile froze when she heard this, and she said aggrievedly: "Sister, what are you talking about? Sister, he came to see me with good intentions, how can I wrong my sister?"
Qin Shushuang sneered, "Huh, you've wronged me. He became like that today. Don't you have to thank me for fanning the flames?"
Hearing this, Liu Xinmei stopped pretending, and the grievance on her face disappeared, replaced by a sneer on her face, "Qin Shushuang, do I really think I am not the former Concubine Qin? How dare you contradict me with every word."
There was a sneer on Qin Shu's lips, "My lord, what's the difference between my Concubine Liu and his commoner in the cold palace?"
It makes no difference to her whether she is Concubine Qin or a commoner. That woman had already been relegated to the sidelines when she entered the palace, and that Concubine Liu deserved it.
"I also know that I am a commoner in the cold palace. What qualifications do I have to compare with me now? Can I be the Lord of the Sixth Palace now?" Liu Xinmei raised her head high, with an expression like a proud peacock.
"Haha... haha... the Lord of the Sixth Palace... is so funny!" Qin Shushuang laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Why am I laughing?" Liu Xinmei frowned, that woman must be crazy.
Qin Shushuang slowly stopped laughing and turned to look at Liu Xinmei, "What is he laughing at? He is laughing at me for dreaming. Lord of the Sixth Palace, whose lord am I? Who else is more important among the Sixth Palace besides myself?"
Qin Shushuang's words left Liu Xinmei speechless, and she quickly retorted: "How about Bu Nao, I am better than me. At least tomorrow he will have me by his side for his sixtieth birthday."
When Qin Shushuang heard this, his face immediately turned ugly. He clenched his fists tightly and felt no pain at all when his nails dug into his flesh. After a long time, she slowly looked at Liu Xinmei and said stiffly, "Liu Xinmei, what qualifications do I have to be by his side?"
When Liu Xinmei heard this, her expression turned ugly. She pointed at Qin Shushuang and said angrily: "Qin Shushuang, what do I mean?"
Qin Shushuang snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean, I thought no one knew about the things between me and the great elder?"
Liu Xinmei's face changed drastically when she heard this, and a look of panic immediately appeared in her black eyes. She said in a trembling voice: "I... what I said... he couldn't understand... "
A sneer appeared on Qin Shu's lips, "I don't understand, what shameful things did the elder and I do in Zhaoyang Palace on the first day of that month."
"I...how did I know?" Liu Xinmei was extremely scared at the moment. If someone discovered that, would it be punishable by death
"No one knows what you want, unless you do it yourself. Since we have the courage to do casual things, we should expect that one day we will be discovered." Qin Shushuang glanced at Liu Xinmei in disgust, how could such a woman be worthy of him.
The man in black in the dark heard the two people's wrong words, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. Such a big scandal, I don’t know if the emperor is talking about it, whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
When Liu Xinmei heard this, a flash of killing intent flashed in her eyes, and she rushed to pinch Qin Shushuang's jaws, and said with a sinister expression, "People who know too much usually die early."
After Liu Xinmei finished speaking, she took out an unknown red pill from her arms and threw it into Qin Shushuang's mouth before letting her go.
As soon as Qin Shushuang got free, he suddenly picked at his mouth, trying to spit out the pill he had just taken.
"It's useless. Those pills melt in the mouth. Now the poison has entered my internal organs. I'm hopeless." Liu Xinmei glanced at Qin Shushuang and said coldly.
"Hmm..." Qin Shushuang felt a tightness in his chest, and his mouth was immediately filled with the taste of blood.
"I... my poisonous woman, I can't... die." Qin Shushuang pointed at Liu Xinmei with trembling legs and said with difficulty.
"I can rest assured that I will not die. When my prince takes the throne, I will be the Queen Mother, the mother of Yejiao, and the mother of Tiandong." Liu Xinmei glanced at Qin Shushuang, who started to bleed from his orifices. A arrogant smile appeared on his lips, "Since I am begging for death, I will tell me another secret."
Liu Xinmei said something and whispered something into Qin Shu's ears. Qin Shushuang's eyes widened with disbelief on his face. Even if he died in the end, he would not die in peace.
Liu Xinmei laughed out loud when she saw Qin Shushuang's dead expression.
At this time, Liu Xinmei didn't know that the secret she just told had been clearly heard by the man in black in the dark.
