Chapter 926: You will soon know the interest I collected for you (157 million)
Ziyuan certainly believed that Xin'er was not instructed by Concubine Wang.
Because Your Majesty is dependent on the Empress Dowager, everything she has is given by the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
She knew that the Queen Mother loved the eldest princess, but she still dared to set her sights on her. Wasn't this courting death?
So when he saw the people in the imperial court summoning Concubine Wang to the Yangxin Palace for questioning, Ziyuan was very worried.
The Queen Mother sent her to the Yikun Palace to give advice to Concubine Wang. If Concubine Wang died because of this, how could she have the face to go back to see the Queen Mother?
Given the Queen Mother's temper, she will not have a good ending...
"My lady, what is going on?"
Ziyuan was originally asking Wangpin, but seeing that she looked unhappy, she immediately comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Tell me the truth about what happened in the Yangxin Palace. No matter what the result is, I will explain it to the Queen Mother. She will definitely believe that you have no ill will towards the eldest princess."
Listening to Ziyuan's words, Wangpin lowered her head, with a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Ah!
She said that the servants sent by the Empress Dowager could not be trusted.
So, Ziyuan would report to the Empress Dowager if there was any movement on her part.
Fortunately, she had already asked for a "blessing" for Ziyuan from His Majesty. Otherwise, who would want to have someone watching them every day?
Thinking that the other person would soon die, Wangpin was too lazy to pretend. She looked up at Ziyuan and sneered, "I'm afraid you don't have that chance."
Somehow, Zi Yuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and frowned and asked, "My Lady, what do you mean?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the imperial court came over carrying a spring stool.
Two young eunuchs came forward, clamped Ziyuan on the left and right, and pushed her up.
Ziyuan struggled frantically: "What are you doing?!"
"My queen! Save me! My queen..."
The leading eunuch said, "Your Majesty has ordered that Ziyuan, as the head maidservant beside Concubine Wang, watched Concubine Wang make a mistake without trying to persuade her. Such a lowly maidservant deserves death! Summon all the palace maids in Yikun Palace to come and watch the execution, so that they will understand the consequences of not trying to persuade their master!"
After saying this, he glanced at the eunuch who was carrying out the execution and said, "Beat him!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, the thick stick fell heavily on Ziyuan!
The palace servants were summoned and looked at this scene with pale faces and trembling bodies...
Wangpin felt very happy, and a barely visible curve appeared at the corner of her lips.
From then on, there was finally no one around her to monitor her.
Of course, in front of so many people, I still have to perform the whole show.
Wangpin was supported by Xiao Tianzi, her face full of grief and guilt, but she did not dare to step forward.
She could only take out her handkerchief and press the corners of her red eyes: "Ziyuan, it is me who has implicated you, I am sorry..."
"But this is His Majesty's order. There is nothing I can do..."
Although Wangpin's face was full of guilt, combined with what she just said, Ziyuan still understood something in his heart.
She opened her mouth, looked at Wangpin and yelled, "My Lady, you did this on purpose!"
"It was you who asked Your Majesty to beat me to death, right? It was to get rid of this eye of mine..."
Wangpin immediately interrupted Ziyuan's words: "I care about you so much, but you don't know what's good for you. You want to slander me before you die!"
"It seems that His Majesty's order to have you executed is truly a wise decision.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and shut her up! Otherwise she will talk nonsense here, not only slandering me, but also affecting your Majesty's reputation."
The eunuch immediately responded "yes" and took off his shoes to cover Ziyuan's mouth.
The princess was too lazy to watch the bloody scene any longer and turned back to the palace.
As the stick hit Ziyuan again and again, her sobs gradually became quieter until she died...
The palace maids were all horrified when they saw her die with her eyes open.
Some of the timid ones were even almost fainted from fear...
This is the hardship of being a slave. If they don't serve their master well, their lives will be in danger. If their master makes any mistakes, they will also be implicated.
Inner room.
Odako stood behind the princess with his head down, and was in a good mood.
Because he used to be the head eunuch of Yikun Palace, and Ziyuan was the head maid. Although they were of the same rank, Ziyuan was sent by the Empress Dowager, and even the Empress Dowager had to respect her, let alone herself?
Ziyuan is dead today, and he is the most trusted confidant of the Queen. From now on, he will be the only one who has the final say in Yikun Palace!
Moreover, the Empress Dowager's spy had disappeared, and Xiao Tianzi felt a lot more relieved.
He stood behind Wangpin and flattered her, "Your Majesty, this is a brilliant move! Not only did it allow me to accept the 'punishment', but it also allowed Your Majesty to get rid of Ziyuan in a logical way. When the Queen Mother knew about this, she would not be suspicious."
After all, the mother and son did not get along well. It was only natural that His Majesty would not punish the Queen for the sake of the Third Prince, but would take the opportunity to get rid of the people sent by the Queen Mother.
Wang Pin was also quite satisfied with the result.
But... she looked towards the direction of Shuixi Pavilion, her eyes full of hatred!
In this matter, she was ultimately plotted against by Concubine Chun. If she didn't take revenge, how could Concubine Wang swallow her anger?
Of course, for Concubine Wang, the most important thing now is Queen Mother Liu.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "The Queen Mother is not easy to fool. I believe she knows these things and will summon me to question her soon."
"I have to think carefully about how to deal with this."
Only after passing this level could her plan be considered a temporary success.
……
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The secret conversation between the emperor and the princess today has made it clear that they want to get rid of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
For this plan, he sent Concubine Chun away, but did not allow himself to escape.
This means that Nangong Xuanyu has unknowingly regarded her as an ally he can trust and even fight alongside.
This is definitely good news for Shen Zhinian.
As expected, after Wangpin left, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Shen Zhinian gently: "...Niannian, the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is ambitious, and I will never tolerate them!"
"I asked you to stay and listen to these things today because I hope you will be on guard and not fall into their trap."
Shen Zhinian said gently: "I understand."
"I have also said that no matter what decision Your Majesty makes, I will always support you!"
"Your Majesty said last time that you would first ask for some interest on my behalf for the injustice I suffered during the enthronement ceremony. Does that mean you will no longer let the Queen Mother raise the eldest princess?"
Nangong Xuanyu shook his head: "I just don't want Yun'er to be corrupted by the Queen Mother."
"As for the interest I'll collect for you, you'll find out soon enough."
