On the other side was Su Gengyi, who would rather go to the Criminal Investigation Department to prove that what he said was true.

On the other side is Concubine Wan Gui. Even the eldest maid dare not let anyone torture her.

What is right and what is wrong is already obvious.

Su Gengyi's statement made it impossible for even Yu Zhaoyi to insist that Concubine Wan Gui was innocent.

Concubine Wan Gui knelt on the ground, held her hands on the ground, lowered her head deeply, and said, "I plead guilty. It was I who told Su Gengyi that the Queen was banned by His Majesty because of her pure concubine."

Yu Zhaoyi couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, took two steps forward, and asked, "Sister Wan, why would you do such a thing?"

Concubine Wan Gui slowly straightened up and raised her head. Only then did Yu Zhaoyi see that her eyes were filled with tears.

She first glanced at Yu Zhaoyi, blinked her eyes, and tears burst into her eyes.

Then he said: "During the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, my concubine spoke inappropriately and said a few harsh words to Chungui Concubine, so I was punished by Your Majesty. I have a grudge against Chungui Concubine in my heart.

Therefore, when Su Gengyi said bad things about the pure noble concubine, I often echoed her and even added jealousy to it, saying that the empress was recuperating behind closed doors because of the pure noble concubine.

But Chen Concubine really just vented her words and didn't want to provoke Su Gengyi to do other things. "

Jiang Shiying looked at her performance and felt that the most popular actor in Beijing Liyuan would be the one to lose. It's no wonder that Yu Zhaoyi has been deceived by her for so long and can't see her true face.

Yu Zhaoyi is easy to coax, but Lu Zhaolin is not.

Concubine Wan Gui's tearful confession did not move him at all. On the contrary, he became more and more disgusted. He felt that she was too thoughtful and was still looking for excuses at this time.

"Yao Xingde." Lu Zhaolin called.

Yao Xingde took two steps forward: "The slave is here."

Lu Zhaolin glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground, and opened his lips slightly: "According to my decree, Su Gengyi provoked the princess to murder the pure noble concubine, demoted her to an official daughter, and was confined to the palace of You Ning Pavilion. She will not be allowed to leave for the rest of her life."

Hearing this, Su Gengyi softened and collapsed on the ground. It is better to be grounded for a lifetime than to lose your life. Only when people are alive can they have the opportunity to pursue other pursuits.

Lu Zhaolin didn't even look at her, and continued: "Concubine Wan Gui has a narrow mind and shortcomings in virtue, and is unworthy of being a concubine. She will be deprived of her title and demoted to the position of concubine."

As he spoke, his eyes without any warmth looked at the former Concubine Wangui and now Concubine Qi.

"If you make another mistake, I will find a foster mother for Xiaoer."

The Xiaoer he mentioned was none other than Lu Qixiao, the fifth prince born from Qi's concubine.

In the harem of the Jin Dynasty, if you want to raise an heir, you must be the head of the first palace, which means that you must be at least a concubine.

Because he couldn't bear the separation of mother and son, Lu Zhaolin would at least give one concubine the throne to any concubine in the palace who had children, no matter whether they were favored or not.

In the previous dynasty, he kept his word, but he was considered a loving father in front of his children, and he was also tolerant of his concubines.

Therefore, Qi Concubine had always regarded the fifth prince as her second talisman.

Now that she heard Lu Zhaolin's threat, she suddenly realized that although His Majesty could not bear the separation of mother and son, it was not impossible for him to do it if he was really offended.

For the first time today, she knelt down on the ground willingly and said, "I accept the decree. I know my crime. I will be careful about my words and deeds in the future and will never do it again."

If you commit the crime again, you must be careful so as not to be caught.

······

After Su Gengyi was taken away, Yu Zhaoyi and Qi Bin were also sent away.

Princess Yongning stood up and said, "Father, my daughter has also resigned first."

With that said, she turned around and walked out.

Before he reached the door, he was stopped by Lu Zhaolin: "Stop."

Princess Yongning turned around, feeling a little uneasy, but she pretended to be clueless and asked, "Father, is there anything else you can do?"

How could Lu Zhaolin not see what she was thinking? He raised his eyes slightly, looked at her for a moment, and then said: "Su Gengyi and Qi Bin made mistakes and have been punished. You also made a mistake today, but You haven't been punished yet. In fact, you pushed the noble concubine into the water today, and until now, you haven't even said an apology."

Hearing this, Princess Yongning looked at Jiang Shiying, hoping that Jiang Shiying would be like the other concubines she had bullied in the past, and that she would find a way to get off the stairs.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shiying picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Seeing Princess Yongning looking at her, she raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you doing, princess?"

With that look, he was obviously waiting for her to apologize.

Stairs? What steps? Stop dreaming.

Princess Yongning stared at her and opened her mouth to say something unpleasant, but Ziding pulled her sleeve. Then he quietly glanced at Lu Zhaolin's expression, gave Jiang Shiying a perfunctory salute, and said angrily: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you into the water."

Then, he quickly stood up straight and said impatiently: "Okay?"

Jiang Shiying gently put the tea cup back on the table, slowly put the handkerchief on her lips, and then said: "Today, the princess was the murderer who pushed me into the water, but I was the benefactor who rescued the princess. Princess. In addition to apologizing for what you have done, shouldn’t you also thank me for saving your life?”

This time, Ziding failed to stop Princess Yongning.

When Jiang Shiying finished speaking, Princess Yongning raised her eyebrows, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. Then she pointed at Jiang Shiying and said, "I advise you to accept it as soon as it's okay and thank you. Are you worthy?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiying did not get angry, but turned to look at Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaolin's face darkened, and he looked at Princess Yongning with his deep eyes, saying, "Yongning, where are your rules?"

Princess Yongning was used to being pampered by him. She had angered her father in the past, but such big things would be over with her coquettishness.

That is to say, today, Ziding insisted on persuading her to be patient and act nice in front of her father, so she managed to suppress her temper.

But from the bottom of her heart, she didn't feel that she was wrong. Instead, she said plausibly: "Father, I am your princess. It is her honor that your pure noble concubine can save me. I just apologized to her, and I have already seen it." In your face.

She said she saved me, but if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have fallen into the water. How could she have the face to ask me to thank me? "

Lu Zhaolin laughed angrily at her and asked, "According to you, it was your fault that you fell into the water?"

Princess Yongning nodded: "If it wasn't because I didn't stand firm when I pushed her, how could I have fallen into the lake?"

With a "pop" sound, the second tea cup today was thrown to the ground by Lu Zhaolin and broke into pieces.

However, even though he was so angry, he did not throw the tea cup at Yongning's feet, but threw it to the other side, for fear that the broken porcelain would splash and scratch her.

No matter how slow or reckless Princess Yongning is, she still knows that Lu Zhaolin's anger at the moment is directed at her.

She murmured: "Father."

There was grievance in her tone, thinking it was just a trivial matter, why would it be like this?

In the past, she often bullied the concubines in the palace. Didn't she never do anything to her? Concubine Chun Gui was not injured today. Even if she fell into the water, wouldn't she have swam up by herself?

Besides, it wasn't just Chungui who fell into the water, she was also the one. That near-death experience made her tremble with fear every time she thought about it.

His father didn't care about her, he only cared about his beloved concubine.

Lu Zhaolin stood up and walked to her. His eyes seemed to be looking at her, but at the same time he seemed to be looking at something other than her: "When you were just born, you were still in the palace. I remember that you were still a small, soft ball at that time. Later, when you grew up, you became very squeamish and lost your temper when anyone made you unhappy, but you would soon be coaxed and you would smile sweetly and sweetly."

As he spoke, he walked forward.

He moved forward step by step, while Princess Yongning retreated step by step.

There was something in his eyes that Princess Yongning couldn't understand.

"I always thought that you were just a little squeamish, but I never thought that you were too arrogant. You pushed someone into the water, but you didn't feel any regret. When someone saved you, you didn't feel grateful at all. You didn't think about your own mistakes, you only complained. others."

Then, I heard him sigh and said: "It's my fault. I only know how to be a loving father and forget to educate you about your virtues."
