However, the Queen and others knew this as well. They did not want anyone other than themselves to be favored, so they were naturally happy to see this. As long as it did not threaten their status, they would turn a blind eye.
The other things were also true, and the palace maid had already been bribed by her, so there was no need to worry about anything going wrong.
It is a bit unfair to say that I feel sorry for the child that Concubine Qi lost. Even if nothing unexpected happened, the child would not have survived in the palace. The current result is already the best outcome.
Shen Qingwan had not expected Fu Yuheng to make the decision so quickly. Within a day, the imperial edict had been issued. This did ease her worries. After all, she had been preoccupied with Concubine De's affairs recently. Now it could be considered a win-win solution. However, she felt more depressed in her heart.
The gist of the imperial edict was simply that Liu Churong's previous act of pushing Concubine Qi into the water was a complete misunderstanding, and now that the truth had been uncovered, her position as Imperial Concubine was restored effective immediately.
This was a big event in the harem, so early in the morning, Eunuch Sun went to read out the imperial edict. Now Liu Churong was very happy, and concubines from the harem came to congratulate her in an endless stream. Now she was the most favored concubine in the harem.
Besides, her father is the prime minister of the dynasty, and now she is the imperial concubine, so many concubines want to curry favor with her.
As for all this, Shen Qingwan smiled calmly, but there was still a hint of sadness between her brows. After all, the current situation came at a price.
In this harem, there are so many new people laughing, but where is the crying of the old people
Now it is located in a remote area of the palace, overgrown with weeds, and the brick walls and tiles have long been dilapidated, giving it a sense of sadness and coldness.
A gust of cold wind poured in from the broken window, causing the person on the bed to shiver. Perhaps he thought of something, and suddenly jumped off the bed. His well-combed hair was a little scattered, but at this moment, the person seemed not to feel anything and shouted loudly at the figure outside the window.
“Let me out, I want to see the emperor. What crime have I committed to be locked up in this cold palace? Let me out, let me out…” The sharp voice made the guards outside the door frown slightly.
The imperial edict is not only about Liu Churong, but now there is another one issued, which is about the people in this cold palace.
From this moment to now, Xu Da Ying still didn't know why this happened. His thoughts began to return to the moment just now, and it seemed that everything had changed.
Originally, I was thinking that Noble Lady Liu had already regained her status as a noble concubine. Although my status was humble, I was still a member of the harem. I was thinking of going to congratulate her, but I received an imperial edict!
The moment Eunuch Sun finished reading, Xu Da Ying felt as if the sky had fallen down.
"The imperial edict says: Consort Xu is banished to the cold palace because of her inappropriate conduct for her position. This is the imperial decree." Eunuch Sun looked at Consort Xu for a long time without any reaction, so he gave her a slight reminder, "Consort Xu, accept the edict, please."
Suddenly, Xu Ying came back to her senses, but she was not happy with the sudden imperial edict, which came without any reason. No matter what, Xu Ying would not easily accept it. She thought about how much effort she had put in to get to where she is now. Now, she was told that she would be banished to the cold palace, which would ruin all her hard work. Xu Ying would not accept it no matter what.
"Eunuch Sun, Eunuch Sun, please, take me to see the emperor. I want to see the emperor. I didn't do anything, why do you want to send me to the cold palace!" Xu Da Ying said with a faint cry in her voice, tightly holding the corner of Sun Ning's clothes, which made Eunuch Sun a little embarrassed.
"Xu Ying, listen to my advice. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you should first..." Eunuch Sun didn't know much about the matter, but since it was the emperor's wish, there was nothing he could do. However, it was obvious that Xu Ying could no longer bear to hear the advice and now wanted to get things clear.
"In that case, I'd better ask the emperor personally!" Xu Da Ying looked at Eunuch Sun's expression and knew what he was thinking. She stood up from the ground, as if she wanted to rush out forcefully.
However, the guards standing by had already made preparations. After all, this was to guard against those concubines who were throwing tantrums and refusing to accept reason. "How dare you! Get out of the way. I want to see the emperor!" Xu Ying was a little angry in her heart, and even her eyes were filled with anger, but the guards didn't care at all. Xu Ying was ready to force her way out, but Eunuch Sun winked at the guards, and the guards grabbed Xu Ying and made her unable to move for a while.
"Mr. Xu, now that the emperor has issued an edict, I am just following his orders. I have no choice but to inconvenience you." After Sun Ning finished speaking, he waved to the guards. It seemed that Xu knew the consequences of this trip, and he struggled regardless of the consequences. However, he was not as strong as those martial artists after all, so he was forcibly dragged into the cold palace.
Eunuch Sun thought that after entering the cold palace, Mrs. Xu might be more peaceful. However, he did not expect that Mrs. Xu's several attempts to go out were really a headache. After all, the emperor had given a death order, and now the situation was extremely difficult. Finally, after Fu Yuheng heard about it, he sent some more guards to guard her, so as to avoid any trouble.
Now, if we talk about the biggest happy event in the imperial city, it is undoubtedly Prime Minister Liu!
Now, Liu Churong's identity has just been restored, and this good news is known to everyone. Now Prime Minister Liu is very happy. After all, his daughter has regained the position of imperial concubine, which is a good thing for him as the prime minister.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister Liu. Your lady has been restored to the position of Imperial Concubine. She is now deeply loved by the Emperor. Prime Minister Liu is in power now, so please don't forget us." In the Prime Minister's Mansion, several officials in the court had smiles on their faces. After all, Prime Minister Liu was extremely powerful now, and all the civil and military officials in the court wanted to make friends with him. Although they came to congratulate Liu Churong for having her position as Imperial Concubine restored, they mostly took this opportunity to show their goodwill to him.
Prime Minister Liu was naturally delighted, and responded, "Thank you, ministers. I will never forget your great help."
Official language has always been hypocritical since ancient times, and now it is just that.
On the other side, three days later, General Shen and Ye Feng had already reached the gate of Kyoto. They tried to keep a low profile along the way so as not to cause too much trouble, but now that they were here, they could no longer hide it.
