Chapter 612: Do you still remember the vows we made?
After Liu Shiqing regained his freedom, he pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth.
She hugged the eldest princess and tears suddenly flowed out: "Yun'er..."
The eldest princess didn't know what had happened yet. She only heard the news that her father was going to sentence her mother to death. She burst into tears and said, "Mother..."
"Yun'er, don't lose your mother! I won't let anyone hurt her!"
No matter how much the emperor hated Liu Shiqing, he loved the eldest princess very much. He immediately asked, "Who told the eldest princess this news? Take her away!"
The nannies immediately came up and held the eldest princess.
She struggled frantically.
The nannies were afraid of hurting the princess, so they didn't dare to use any force, and she actually broke free.
The eldest princess ran to the emperor, tugged at the corner of his robe, and cried pitifully: "Father, Yun'er doesn't want to be a child without a mother. Please don't sentence my mother to death, okay? Wuuwuwu..."
Liu Shiqing's eyes were also red.
She was never a coward, but she really couldn't bear to leave Yun'er...
If she was gone and there was no one to protect Yun'er, what would happen if Yun'er was sent to marry a foreign prince like Princess Jingle when she grew up?
Seeing the eldest princess' tearful face, Nangong Xuanyu felt very distressed and said patiently, "Yun'er, didn't father tell you that everyone must take responsibility for what they have done?"
"Your mother committed a crime, and this is what she deserves!"
People in the palace often say that the mother concubine is arrogant and domineering, and takes human life lightly. But in the eyes of the eldest princess, she is the best mother concubine!
The eldest princess wiped the tears from her face with her little hands, sniffed and said, "Yun'er is not an unreasonable person. May I ask father, what crime has mother committed?"
Nangong Xuanyu said in a deep voice: "She is so bold that she hired someone to kill someone. She deserves death for her crime!"
The eldest princess had heard about this matter, but she didn't expect that the mastermind behind it was actually her mother...
Although she was smart, she was only a four-year-old child. She didn't know what to say for a moment and could only beg, "Father, Yun'er begs you..."
Concubine Liang pressed her eyes with a handkerchief, looking reluctant: "Your Majesty, Shu... Liu is certainly wrong, but the eldest princess is still so young. If she loses her biological mother, it will be really pitiful..."
Having said this, she stood up and knelt down: "Therefore, I would like to beg Your Majesty to spare Liu's life!"
Noble Lady Hao had always been a supporter of Concubine Liang, so naturally she would follow whatever Concubine Liang did. She immediately stood up and knelt down.
"I also beg Your Majesty to spare Liu's life for the sake of the eldest princess!"
Immediately, many concubines who followed Concubine Liang knelt on the ground and pleaded for Liu Shiqing.
Seeing this scene, Liu Shiqing was not moved, but sneered in his heart.
Could it be that this bitch Zhuang Yumian was really doing this for her own good?
The other party just felt that she had been completely abandoned by the emperor and posed no threat, so she came out to pretend to be a good person.
Moreover, Zhuang Yumian knew that she and Concubine Xian would never stop fighting, so he wanted her to live and continue to fight with Concubine Xian. In this way, Zhuang Yumian could reap the benefits!
At this time, a familiar figure walked in from outside.
Nanny Yuan bowed respectfully: "This old servant pays homage to His Majesty! And to all the ladies and young ladies!"
The moment he saw her, Liu Shiqing's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
Great, it’s someone close to my aunt, she is saved!
Nanny Yuan has served Empress Dowager Liu for most of her life, and even the emperor would usually give her some respect.
"No need to be polite."
Nanny Yuan said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has heard about today's events. The Empress Dowager is unable to move, so she asked this old servant to come and convey the message."
"The Concubine Shu was guilty first, and Your Majesty should punish her. But the country has its own laws, and the palace has its own rules. Everything should be done in moderation. Otherwise, there will be no order without rules."
"Killing someone means paying with one's life, but the virtuous concubine only injured her arm and is not in danger of losing her life. No matter what, the virtuous concubine will not be demoted to a commoner or banished to the cold palace, and her crime is not punishable by death!"
"The Empress Dowager has decided to demote Consort Shu to Consort Liu and confine her to Yongshou Palace, so that she can reflect on her mistakes for the rest of her life. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Everyone understood that the emperor's punishment on Liu Shiqing was too severe.
If that's the case, it makes sense.
Only Chu Xiyan was kneeling on the ground, biting her lips tightly, her eyes full of indignation and unwillingness!
why? !
Is it possible that she still cannot kill her enemy and avenge her father and mother? !
Thinking of that night, Nian Nian followed him out of the palace with joy, but almost lost her life. The emperor really wanted to kill Liu!
But seeing his most beloved princess kneeling in front of him with tears on her face, begging him not to kill her mother...
Nangong Xuanyu really felt a little bit sorry for the eldest princess.
But if he let Liu go so easily and let her continue to be the mistress of the palace and enjoy all the glory, how could he be worthy of Nian Nian?
Nangong Xuanyu looked at Liu Shiqing and said coldly: "...Since Yun'er and all the concubines in the palace, and even my mother, have pleaded for you, I will give you another chance."
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. For the rest of your life, you will repent in the cold palace as a commoner!"
"The eldest princess and the third prince, I will find a suitable adoptive mother for them."
Nanny Yuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty..."
Shufei and Xianfei were both among the four concubines. Xianfei was only slightly injured. Shufei has two royal heirs. No matter what, she should not be demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace because of this!
The emperor said without question, "I have already shown you special mercy. Do you want me to give Liu a cup of poisoned wine as usual?"
Madam Yuan immediately lowered her head and said, "I dare not!"
Liu Shiqing slumped down on the ground and laughed sarcastically.
Common people... Common people...
Hahaha——hahaha——
When they were most affectionate, His Majesty once told her that it was an injustice for him to marry her as a concubine despite her status as the eldest daughter of Duke Dingguo.
Even if he cannot give her the status of queen someday, he will make her second only to the queen in the harem!
In his heart, no one can surpass her.
Your Majesty did exactly that.
It’s just that a man’s sincerity only lasts for a short time…
Now, His Majesty has personally demoted her to a commoner. Does she still remember the vows they made?
Liu Shiqing stood up and walked out with a sneer.
As long as she is still alive, she will definitely get the chance to turn the tables.
Concubine Xian, just wait and see!
Chu Xiyan looked at Liu Shiqing's back, and on her little face was a look of hatred that no one else could see!
She won't let Liu Shiqing have an easy time!
Nanny Yuan sighed inwardly, bowed and left.
Liu Shiqing looked at her, and the stubborn tears finally fell from her eyes: "Madame Yuan, I...I want to see my aunt."
