Chapter 610 Nangong Xuanyu's Suspicion
Everyone knew that Concubine Shu would be punished today, but no one thought that the punishment would be so severe, so severe...
Before Shen Zhinian entered the palace, Liang Fei had always regarded Shu Fei as her biggest rival because of her family background and status, and the fact that the eldest princess had always been favored by the emperor.
At this moment, even she could not have imagined that His Majesty would sentence Concubine Shu to death because of this matter...
Not only did Concubine Liang not feel happy, but she also felt heavy.
All the old people in the palace know about the affection between His Majesty and Concubine Shu.
Now, His Majesty has ordered the death of Concubine Shu for Concubine Xian. What if one day, she and Concubine Xian come into conflict?
In His Majesty's heart, is this childhood sweetheart's affection better than that of the virtuous concubine...
There was a flash of surprise in Xuepin's eyes, but she quickly returned to her indifference, and the look she gave Nangong Xuanyu became sarcastic.
In the past, when she was in the Qiandi Palace, how arrogant and domineering was Concubine Shu? How many similar things had she done?
She relied on His Majesty's overwhelming favor and even beat to death several concubines in the palace.
When His Majesty found out, no matter how angry he was, he only gave Concubine Shu some mild punishment. It didn't take long before he forgave her.
Isn't it because Your Majesty spoiled Concubine Shu little by little that she became like this?
She has never changed, it is Her Majesty who has changed.
Why is he going to sentence Concubine Shu to death now because of a similar mistake?
His Majesty now really dotes on Concubine Xian to the sky. Anyone who dares to touch Concubine Xian is touching his reverse scale.
But this man is the kind of man who wants the ones he loves to live and the ones he hates to die. He is not worthy of a woman's true love at all.
If one day he no longer loves Concubine Xian, I'm afraid Concubine Xian will follow in Concubine Shu's footsteps.
Xuepin hoped that Xianfei could see this clearly and not lose herself in the emperor's favor and end up like Shufei...
Shen Zhinian picked up the teacup and took a sip.
This result was brought about by her. As a vested interest, she certainly would not want it all and would not blame Nangong Xuanyu for anything.
If Concubine Liang and Concubine Xue could see it clearly, how could she not understand it?
But so what?
For Shen Zhinian, it doesn’t matter whether Nangong Xuanyu will change his mind in the future and treat her like Concubine Shu.
The important thing is that now, she is the person he cares most about.
She will try every means to take advantage of this and get everything she wants before he changes his mind!
This is enough.
No one can predict what will happen in the future. But Shen Zhinian always believes that destiny is in one's own hands!
Shufei played a good hand of cards badly, but she wouldn't.
The palace concubines who were attached to Duke Dingguo's Mansion looked at each other and saw the tension in each other's eyes.
Nanny Yuan had hinted that the Empress Dowager had given up supporting Concubine Shu. But Concubine Shu was her niece, and if they watched her being sentenced to death by His Majesty and remained indifferent, would the Empress Dowager and Duke Dingguo be happy if they knew about it?
Thinking of this, they all said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Although Concubine Shu was wrong, Concubine Xian was not killed, so she really doesn't deserve to die!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The eldest princess is only four years old. How pitiful is it for such a young child to have no biological mother?"
"If the eldest princess knew that her mother was sentenced to death by her father, how would she cope with it?"
"Your Majesty, please spare Concubine Shu's life for the sake of the Grand Princess and Concubine Shu's crimes not punishable by death!"
"..."
A palace concubine who was kneeling at the back quietly retreated and asked someone to go to Yongshou Palace to bring the eldest princess over, while she herself ran quickly to Cining Palace!
If it were in the past, after hearing that His Majesty was going to sentence her to death, Concubine Shu would have been shocked and heartbroken.
His Majesty wants her life, so what's the point of her living? She might as well die!
But since she recognized this man, Nangong Xuanyu's words no longer carried such heavy weight in Shufei's heart.
She also has Yun'er!
She still has to defeat that bitch Shen Zhinian, she can't just die like this!
Shufei has served the emperor for so many years and knows Nangong Xuanyu very well. Does she know that he hates being deceived and used by women the most?
What would happen if Your Majesty knew the true identity of Concubine Xian?
Thinking of this, Concubine Shu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you think... that I am the only one who started this?"
"You are leaving the palace incognito. This matter is extremely secret. Once it is leaked, it will give assassins an opportunity to take advantage of it. The consequences will be disastrous!"
"Have you ever thought about...how I knew this news?"
There were no fools present, so naturally everyone understood the hidden meaning behind Concubine Shu's words.
Yes, the fact that His Majesty was going to take Concubine Xian out in disguise to celebrate the Lantern Festival was only known to His Majesty, Concubine Xian, and their confidants.
How did Concubine Shu know this?
It is naturally impossible that this matter was leaked by someone in the imperial court.
Then... only the virtuous concubine is left!
If she really revealed this news to Concubine Shu on purpose, what was her purpose?
The result is not obvious.
The Concubine Shu knelt on the ground in embarrassment. His Majesty was about to sentence her to death...
Nangong Xuanyu had previously ordered Zhan Weiran to investigate this issue.
According to Xiaohuazi's account, he heard about this matter from a few young eunuchs during their conversation.
As for who they were, Xiaohuazi couldn't see their appearance clearly.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone had deliberately leaked this news to Concubine Shu.
Although Zhan Weiran was the commander of the imperial guards, he was not allowed to enter the harem without reason. After investigating this matter to the end, there was still no clue.
Listening to Concubine Shu's mocking words, the emperor's eyes became deep and he slowly looked at Shen Zhinian.
He had doubted many people, but never doubted Nian Nian.
But at this moment, a hint of hesitation flashed across Nangong Xuanyu's eyes...
Just as Concubine Shu hinted, only those in the imperial court and the Zhongcui Palace knew about this matter.
Those young eunuchs couldn't have been arranged by the emperor, so the only one left was...
Nangong Xuanyu had long known that after being in the palace for so long, Nian Nian had been influenced by the environment and was no longer as pure and kind as she appeared to be.
He always thought it was okay.
Because the thorns that Nian Nian grew were only to protect herself and A Xu, she had never actively harmed anyone.
But this thing... was it really done by Nian Nian?
She was willing to risk her life just to eliminate Concubine Shu?
Nangong Xuanyu can accept the woman he loves, and in order to protect himself, he is scheming and cunning.
But I can't accept that the other person is a vicious person...
Shen Zhinian sneered in his heart.
The Concubine Shu was actually smarter than she thought.
But she has been planning for so long, how could Concubine Shu turn the tables with just a few words?
Shen Zhinian's eyes were ablaze with anger. He looked at Concubine Shu and asked directly, "What do you want to say?"
"Do you think I deliberately set this trap, using my own safety and life as bait to lure you into the trap?"
