Chapter 396 Kneeling and begging for mercy
Danzhen was puzzled when she saw Lin Junxue was about to fall asleep.
"My lady, at this time, the emperor is being assassinated, won't you go and take a look?"
Lin Junxue shook her head and curled her lips
"There's nothing to see. The emperor set up this trap, and I, the queen, know nothing about it. What else can I do at this hour instead of sleeping? Even if the emperor rushes back as fast as he can, he can only return to the palace tomorrow morning at the earliest. I just need to show up when I should."
Danzhen was puzzled and said, "Then I will wait for you to rest."
Early the next morning
Sun Qing took advantage of Xie Yu's drunkenness in the royal palace to assassinate him, and the news spread throughout the court and the harem.
The court and the harem were all shocked. The Sun family presented their second daughter to the palace in order to assassinate the emperor.
What’s the difference between this and treason? The Sun family is finished this time.
An urgent imperial decree was sent to the Sun family in the southwest at an express speed of 800 miles, and it would take about seven or eight days to reach the southwest.
And early this morning, Xie Yu had already announced this matter to the world.
The people were outraged, and the Sun family was caught in flames overnight, unable to move forward or backward.
Everyone was wondering how Xie Yu would deal with the Sun family? For such a serious crime, it would not be too much to punish all nine clans.
After Sun Manrou learned about this, she was completely panicked. She took off her hairpin and knelt at the gate of Taiwu Hall early in the morning.
She couldn't understand why Sun Qing wanted to assassinate the emperor. How was it possible?
Even though she and Sun Qing were irreconcilable, Sun Qing's assassination attempt would implicate the entire Sun family.
It’s over. Sun Manrou knew that this time, their Sun family was completely finished.
She didn't care about anything else and rushed to Taiwu Palace to plead for mercy.
Last night, the Queen Mother was also very angry after learning about this. She originally thought that Sun Qing was a useful person.
But she didn't expect that from beginning to end, she was just a pawn used by the emperor to deal with the Sun family.
Now, how could the Queen Mother not understand that these three months were a trap set by the Emperor from beginning to end?
Sun Qing is dealing with the abandoned son of the Sun family
She thought Sun Qing could share the Queen's favor, but it turned out that everything was fake.
After the other concubines in the harem knew about this, they dared not get involved at all, for fear of bringing bad luck, and they all stayed in their own palaces.
Sure enough, within just a few hours, Concubine Sun Manrou became like a plague.
After Xie Yu left the court, he saw Sun Manrou kneeling in Taiwu Hall and walked over.
Sun Manrou has been kneeling for half an hour
A few days ago, I was punished to kneel in Ci'an Palace. I caught a cold and my body has not recovered yet.
After kneeling for such a while, he could no longer hold on and was about to collapse.
Seeing Xie Yu, Sun Manrou crawled over to him on her knees, no longer showing her usual domineering attitude.
She held onto Xie Yu's dragon robe tightly, tears streaming down her face.
Even in this posture, Xie Yu saw it without any change in his expression.
It was so cold, as if he was looking at a stranger, without any emotion.
Sun Manrou looked up at Xie Yu, her heart feeling extremely cold.
The emperor's heart was so cold that she could no longer deceive herself.
Eight years, she had been in the palace for eight years, how could the emperor have any feelings for her?
Sun Manrou cried and said, "Your Majesty, what Sun Qing did has nothing to do with the Sun family. My father has been stationed in the southwest for many years and is loyal to Your Majesty and the dynasty. He has never rebelled. It must be that Sun Qing, that bitch, acted on her own. Your Majesty, you must be careful and not wrongly accuse my father. I beg you."
Sun Manrou started to kowtow regardless.
She wanted to arouse Xie Yu's sympathy, even just a little bit.
Xie Yu looked at Sun Manrou who was kowtowing coldly, his voice was cold and
"Concubine Chen, last night, Liang Zhaoyi tried to assassinate me. You said it had nothing to do with the Sun family, but why did Liang Zhaoyi want to assassinate me? If it wasn't for your father's instructions, how could Liang Zhaoyi use a dagger to assassinate me? Since she entered the palace, I have given her so much honor and favor, and gave her the position of Zhaoyi. Without your father's order, how could Liang Zhaoyi do such a treasonous thing? Concubine Chen, this matter is my decision. I think of our friendship over the years, so you should go back to the palace first."
Sun Manrou has nothing to say
She also didn't know what made that bitch Sun Qing so crazy that she assassinated the emperor and committed such a heinous crime that would punish the entire clan.
Sun Manrou looked at Xie Yu's indifferent attitude, and she tried to see some sympathy for her from his indifference.
But there was nothing, nothing at all.
this moment
Sun Manrou's love for Xie Yu is completely dead
When she was young, she entered the palace with great joy and became the Concubine Chen.
Back then, the emperor held her hand and told her that he would treat her well.
But over the years, the emperor has never treated her well. If the Sun family has made contributions, the emperor will pamper her for a few days, but after that, there will be nothing.
The title of Chen Fei was all she had. She had never received any love or true protection from any man or woman.
Now, after this incident, the Sun family is finished, and she, the Concubine Chen, is also finished.
After realizing this reality, Sun Manrou suddenly laughed miserably.
Xie Yu didn't even look at her, he just walked inside.
The maid helped Sun Manrou to stand up
She said loudly, "Your Majesty, you have never loved me for so many years. Why do you have to lie to me? If you have feelings for me, how could you be like this?"
Xie Yu paused.
Sun Manrou's eyes lit up. Even if the emperor could look back at her at this moment, her death would be worth it.
Unfortunately, Sun Manrou was destined to be disappointed.
Xie Yu paused for just a few seconds, then walked into the hall.
The moment the palace door closed, the last light in Concubine Chen's eyes was completely extinguished, and her heart was dead.
Here
Sun Manrou turned around and saw Lin Junxue getting down from the sedan chair.
Just like the day in Ci'an Palace, the two looked at each other, and Lin Junxue then withdrew her gaze and walked forward with a clever look.
This time, Sun Manrou didn't even have the strength to speak.
Lin Junxue saw her despair
There is no doubt that the usually arrogant Concubine Chen loves Xie Yu in her heart. She can see
But the more a woman loves, the more hurt she is at this moment.
Today, it is time for Concubine Chen to give up completely.
Sun Manrou didn't even bother to greet him. She walked away step by step on the snow, and the two of them passed each other.
Qiao Xin said, "My queen, it seems that the concubine's plea is useless, and I am really heartbroken."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly, her eyes deep, and said calmly, "Are there not enough sad women in this harem?"
Then she looked at the closed door. Most of women’s misfortunes come from men.
The misfortune of the women in the harem came from the ruthless emperor Xie Yu.
Next second
The palace door was opened again, Gao Cheng came out, and seeing Lin Junxue, he hurried forward
"Your Majesty, why are you here? The Emperor is in a bad mood. Your Majesty, you have come at the right time. Please follow me in."
When Lin Junxue entered the hall, Xie Yu was reviewing memorials. When he saw her coming, he put down his pen, stood up, walked down, and helped Lin Junxue up.
"Jun'er, it's snowing heavily today. Why are you here? Why are your hands so cold? Gao Cheng, bring me a hand warmer."
Lin Junxue's eyes were red
"Your Majesty, I am not cold. It is Your Majesty who was assassinated last night. I heard about it this morning and was scared to death. If Your Majesty was injured, what would I do?"
