Just as I was about to fall asleep in his arms, I suddenly remembered what I had been thinking about all day. I called out to him,"Jing Yi!"
"Hmm?" His voice was lazy and hoarse.”
I hesitated, but still asked him,"How should we deal with Xi Pin?”
"How do you want to deal with it?" he asked after a pause.”
I looked up at him and said seriously,"Unless you have a reason to spare her life, of course, death is not worth regretting!"”
He smiled silently and patted my back."Yes, death is not a pity, but you can wait a few days. The timing of this matter being exposed is very strange. It will be useful for you to hang there and watch the movements.”
I didn't quite understand what he meant, but I still nodded. My heart was sour. So he did this for me.
After a moment of silence, I asked in a low voice," At that time, Rong Chengxiao had someone else in his heart. You said that you knew. Now that the evidence of Xi Pin's evil deeds is conclusive, you can still put it aside and think about the big picture. Regarding this, do you really not care?”
His body stiffened, and after a while, he suddenly flipped over and pressed me down. His eyes looked dangerous."What?"
I looked straight at him and said sincerely," I hope you don't care, but I'm afraid you don't care at all. I don't know what to do-"
Before I could finish, Jing Yi proved that I shouldn't have asked him that question.
.
The next morning, Jing Yi and I had just gotten up when news came that Xi Pin had committed suicide.
Jing Yi was furious. In the harem, once a concubine entered the palace, her body was no longer hers unless she was sentenced to death. Suicide was a serious crime, a great insult to the emperor and the royal family. Concubine Xi had been spared by Jing Yi. No matter what he was thinking, it was important to know that adultery in the harem was a matter of extermination. If Jing Yi could suppress it, he would not use this crime even if he acquiesced in the future. Xi Pin actually killed herself that night without knowing how to be grateful, making Jing Yi lose face. Was she crazy?
" Forget it, you won't be able to live for long." I comforted the angry Jing Yi." I'll go take a look. You don't have to go."”
Coincidentally, Cai An had reported that an official from Ganyang Palace was seeking an audience. Jing Yi nodded and said angrily,""Call her family in later and let them know!”
I knew Jing Yi wouldn't pursue the matter with her family. I smiled."Is it appropriate for me to announce it?"
Although this matter seemed to be an interrogation, it was actually a great favor. Her family would naturally appreciate the favor of whoever came forward. Even though he was only a fifth-grade Temple Deputy, he was still an official of the Supreme Court who could face the emperor in court. She did not know if it was necessary to add this firewood to the Rong family.
Jing Yi looked at me and said," Rong Chengyao has been thinking about the Supreme Court for a long time. It's fine to give him a deputy. It's better than the princess coming to the palace to rush you."”
I was stunned. I didn't expect him to have grasped it so well. No wonder he never asked me. He already knew everything he needed to know. My heart inexplicably sank. I lowered my head and replied,"Yes."
When I went to Yanfu Palace again, I was one step ahead of the Imperial Consort. With just one glance, I knew that there was something wrong with Xi Pin's suicide. She had pretended to hang herself after she died. The old Gong Ma in the palace, who had been sentenced to death, would probably be able to see it. However, regarding Xi Pin's matter, no matter who she took the blame for or who had killed her, the Imperial Consort, Jing Yi, and I had no intention of investigating. The people below naturally knew how to protect themselves.
I ordered people to clean up the mess. When I was about to leave, I saw the late Imperial Concubine. She looked a little anxious. Although Jing Yi didn't mention it, I had ordered to guard against Concubine Xi's mistakes, but such a thing still happened. The Imperial Concubine couldn't escape responsibility.
Seeing her carefully probing me, I only smiled faintly and ignored her.
When Xi Pin's mother was summoned into the palace, she only said that she had died suddenly of a serious illness. She had been begging to see her daughter but was not allowed to. It was not until the stack of letters was delivered to her that the grieving woman suddenly showed fear and knelt on the ground in panic, but she could not say anything.
I deliberately waited for a while before saying,"Furen need not panic and there is no need to say anything. This matter has already reached this point and BenGong has already suppressed what should be suppressed.”
When I said this, I didn't have any expression, but my hands were secretly clenched into fists. The woman's terrified look was extremely real. No matter how high the position of the Temple Deputy was, with such a large crime in my hands, Rong Cheng family definitely didn't have to worry about any mistakes.
Ever since I started practicing martial arts, I knew that I would never leave the world of fighting and killing. However, I never thought that I would be sitting in an empty and gorgeous palace like this, threatening and bullying a woman who had just lost her daughter. I couldn't deny that I did a good job. Since I was young, my strong learning ability allowed me to always comprehend and master new things in the shortest time, whether it was sword techniques or mental techniques. However, I suddenly felt disgusted by this ability. I felt that I was even more ruthless than Jing Yi. At least he was carrying the world on his back. What about me? What am I doing?
" Forget it, Madam, you can go back." After a while, I pointed at the letters." You can take these with you."”
Seeing her extremely surprised kowtow profusely, I frowned and waved her away.
I don't know why, but I can accept anyone dying under my sword. Even if they are highly respected, even if they are famous in the world, I won't change my expression. But I can't get used to people prostrating at my feet because of their status.
Concubine Xi's funeral was both urgent and urgent. Together with Concubine Mu, the ceremonial supervisor and the governor quickly organized the funeral. They were all according to their original ranks. There was no reward or title as usual, nor was there a proper burial due to their sins. Those who could not understand felt that Concubine Xi had taken a huge advantage, and those who could see through felt that Concubine Mu had been wronged and died an unclear death. However, regardless of whether they were pale or not, it was obvious that the imperial concubine was relieved.
I watched coldly from the side. I knew that although the whole matter seemed to have come to an end, there would be endless trouble in the future.
However, compared to this, I was more concerned about Lan Guipin, who had not moved for more than a month. Even if she was looking at her shadow and feeling sorry for herself, it should be enough. I had patience, but I didn't understand where her patience came from. I didn't know what this woman was thinking or what she had already done.
As for whether this move will be delayed, or if it will cause Chen Cang to be secretly killed, I'm not sure.
.
A few days later, my worries came true. This afternoon, Shui Mo told me, The talented man asked to see him.
? Talent is the best? Not long after she and Jiaying were promoted to talents, she suddenly lost favor inexplicably. Jiaying broke the rule and jumped two levels to be promoted to concubine. It's not that I couldn't think of the reason, but I didn't spend time on it. They were two chess pieces that had lost their value. It's understandable that they used some tricks for themselves.
"Niangniang, Concubine Ying has been very close to Concubine Duan Guiping these days.”Good? This was the first thing he said after greeting her.
I wasn't surprised to hear that. I had already thought about it when Jiaying was promoted. Duan Guipin was obviously a noble consort's subordinate. Jing Yi had arranged for them to be in Qingyan Palace in the hope that I could see more clearly. He had even calculated that one of them would be favored and promoted while the other would be neglected. Otherwise, the favored one wouldn't have been without a title until now.
" Mm." I responded faintly." You live in the same palace, so you have to be closer to the head of the palace. Only then will your days be better."”
Seeing that I don't accept her wishes, Jia? She was a little anxious,"Your Highness, that Duan Guipin is…"
"Jia?" I interrupted her." I've said before that since you've entered the harem ahead of time, you have to do it in advance. Yingpin has found her way. It's hard to say whether she will survive or die. At least she has made her position clear. I know what you want and I can do it for you, but you have to show me your value."”
Good? Stunned, she bit her lip and didn't say anything.
I wasn't in a hurry. I looked at her for a while and was about to send her away when she suddenly said,"Lan Guipin often meets with Duan Guipin at night. Sometimes, the two of them go to Jinxi Palace together to avoid people.”
It was my turn to be startled. After a while, I narrowed my eyes."Since you're avoiding people, how do you know?”
"As the Empress said," She raised her head and looked straight at me. She didn't address herself as a concubine." This servant is also putting up a fight.”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:111420184: 12PM #Cancel Review All: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
