Chapter 613 I am going to make you a royal concubine
Nanny Yuan turned to look at Liu Shiqing, her attitude still polite, but with a hint of alienation: "The Queen Mother said that the relationship between you and me has ended, and we don't need to see each other again in the future."
After she finished speaking, she bowed and left without looking back.
Liu Shiqing stared at Nanny Yuan's receding figure and stood there in a daze.
At this moment, she was even more shocked than when she heard that His Majesty was going to sentence her to death...
Because Liu Shiqing knew in his heart that His Majesty had changed his mind a long time ago. Now he only had Concubine Xian in his heart and eyes, so naturally he would not take himself seriously anymore.
But aunt... they have the same blood, and aunt is her only relative in the palace!
Liu Shiqing always felt that no matter what she did, her aunt would cover for her.
So even today, when she heard His Majesty's decree to sentence her to death, she did not completely despair, because she knew that her aunt would definitely save her.
But now... Nanny Yuan actually told her that her aunt really didn't want her anymore?
Liu Shiqing was stunned and burst into tears. For the first time, she felt that she had no one to rely on in the deep palace and was isolated and helpless...
Aunt...how could I not want her?
The young eunuch who was in charge of escorting Liu Shiqing to the cold palace originally did not dare to be too bad to Liu Shiqing because of the relationship with the Empress Dowager.
After all, blood is thicker than water. As long as the Empress Dowager still cares about Liu, who would dare to do anything to her?
After hearing what Nanny Yuan said, they completely lost their scruples and frowned, scolding, "It's getting late, Liu, why are you still standing here? Hurry up and go to where you should be!"
Liu Shiqing experienced too many misfortunes in one day. Not only did he lose his noble status, but it was no exaggeration to say that he was deserted by everyone...
She was in a daze and walked forward almost instinctively.
The eldest princess ran after him, crying: "Mother! Mother! Wuuuuuuu... Yun'er wants mother!"
The nanny hugged her tightly: "Princess, don't go over there, otherwise His Majesty will be angry..."
"Liu is no longer your mother. His Majesty will choose a mother for you who is both virtuous and talented."
Although what the nanny said was true, the eldest princess didn't listen. She continued to cry loudly and struggled non-stop: "No!"
"Yun'er doesn't want anyone else!"
"Yun'er only wants her mother! Wuuuuu..."
Hearing the eldest princess's cries, Liu Shiqing gradually came back to his senses.
Thinking of the separation between mother and daughter, she felt a heart-wrenching pain in her heart and ran towards the eldest princess: "Yun'er... my Yun'er!"
The young eunuch quickly grabbed Liu Shiqing and said, "How can a commoner like you touch the golden branches and jade leaves of the eldest princess? Liu, the cold palace is where you should go!"
The distance between mother and daughter eventually became greater and greater, until they could no longer see each other.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor issued another series of decrees.
All the killers involved in the Weiwutang incident were beheaded, and the remaining members were exiled to the frontier!
The little beggar aided and abetted the evil, and was beaten to death!
Although Cuizhu knew about the incident but did not report it, she was not directly involved in it, so she was spared the death penalty and was imprisoned in the cold palace with Liu until her death!
All the original palace maids in Yongshou Palace who served Liu closely were sent to Xinzheku to perform hard labor.
The rest were sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to await reassignment.
As for Chu Xiyan... although she did not report Liu's conspiracy in time, considering that she finally confessed voluntarily, her merits and demerits were offset and she still went to Ruyi Pavilion to be a palace maid.
Everyone retreated one after another, and soon, only the emperor and Shen Zhinian were left in the huge Yangxin Palace.
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "I promised you that when I find out who is behind this, I will definitely chop off his head."
"But... I cannot ignore Yun'er's feelings and execute Liu."
"Niannian, I broke my promise..."
If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. Shen Zhinian was of course disappointed with this result.
But she knew that now was not the time to lose her temper.
Getting upset won't solve any problems.
Now that things have come to this, we might as well think of ways to maximize our own interests.
Besides... Liu Shiqing being alive is not completely without benefits.
When a person is alive, the evil things she does will make people annoyed.
But when this person dies, as time goes by, those disgusting parts will gradually fade away, and only the good will remain in the hearts of the living.
A dead mole is the eternal mole.
If Liu Shiqing died, no one could guarantee whether the emperor would gradually remember the good times they had and start to miss her.
Only by letting Liu Shiqing live in a completely unrecognizable state can the emperor's disgust for her never disappear.
Nangong Xuanyu did a lot for Shen Zhinian today, so why should she part ways with him in a bad mood and let others reap the benefits?
"What are you saying, Your Majesty?"
Shen Zhinian looked at Nangong Xuanyu tenderly and shook her head gently: "I know that you have done everything you can for me."
"I also understand that even an emperor has many things he has to do."
"As long as Your Majesty cherishes me in your heart, I don't care about anything else, no matter how much grievance I suffer..."
Nangong Xuanyu thought that since he did not do what he promised, even if Nian Nian did not get angry with him, she would still feel resentful in her heart.
I didn’t expect... Nian Nian is so sensible and considerate!
Maybe there is another reason... Even if Nian Nian wanted to protect herself in the deep palace, she still couldn't change her kind nature. She certainly couldn't bear to see Yun'er lose her mother at such a young age.
She is gentle and beautiful, sensible and kind. She can understand all his difficulties and never do anything to embarrass him.
How could he not love a girl like this?
Nangong Xuanyu firmly embraced Shen Zhinian in his arms, stroking her hair again and again: "Niannian, it is said that emperors are lonely. But I know that you are the person who understands me best in the world."
"As long as you are by my side, I am not alone on this unmanned mountain top..."
"I... am going to enthrone you as a noble concubine!"
At an angle that Nangong Xuanyu couldn't see, the expression on Shen Zhinian's face suddenly froze, and his heart began to beat wildly uncontrollably!
She has always known that if this plan of luring the enemy into a trap succeeds, Concubine Shu will be completely ruined!
But Shen Zhinian never thought that not long after she became the head of the Four Concubines, she would be promoted again!
Above the Noble Concubine is the Imperial Noble Concubine, and above the Imperial Noble Concubine is the Queen!
Before she knew it, she was so close to the queen position...!
After the excitement, Shen Zhinian quickly regained his senses.
The emperor was suspicious, and she couldn't be sure at the moment whether Nangong Xuanyu was sincere or... testing her?
The higher she gets, the more cautious she has to be. Otherwise, she might end up like Liu, taking a wrong step and losing everything!
