Concubine Shu was not afraid of death.
She had narrowly escaped death several times since entering the palace.
She just had worries in her heart that she couldn't let go of.
Her parents, her daughter.
Princess Yuyao was taken away at night.
Concubine Shu fought with the eunuch who stopped her.
Bai Hongqi stood aside and persuaded her very kindly: "Concubine Shu, the princess is young, and she is more exposed now." , it’s better to let the princess go to rest early, otherwise you will be even more worried if she is frozen or scared.”
Concubine Shu heard the implication of this sentence and was stunned for a moment before letting go of her hand.
She watched the two eunuchs carefully pick up Princess Yuyao and put her into a soft sedan chair, then quietly carried her out of Yanning Palace. .
Her daughter, her flesh and blood, Concubine Shu had a feeling at that time that she would never see this child again.
Although tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, the emperor has always loved Yuyao.
In dealing with her, the emperor made a clear distinction between mother and daughter.
She was her, and the princess was a princess.
Of course, he would not ignore the safety of his own daughter.
But this palace is a cannibalistic place.
Who else but the mother would sincerely take care of and raise a princess who is not her biological child?
What will happen to Yuyao in the future?
Who cares whether she eats well and wears warm clothes or whether she feels happy or not?
It’s sad.
If it’s time for her to find a consort when she grows up, who can really consider it for her?
Even if the emperor has the heart, he doesn't have the spare eyes to pay attention to them one by one.
If the emperor is really so clear-eyed, why are there so many innocent souls in this palace?
Yanning Palace is now like an ancient temple and an abandoned house.
Only one maid is still around Concubine Shu, and the others are gone.
Cousin Lin Peiqing was detained in an empty room behind the side hall.
She could keep her composure for the first few days, but these days she seemed to have gone crazy with fear.
At night, Concubine Shu often heard ghosts crying and howling in her room.
But at this time, the eunuch guarding the door couldn't let her do this, so he had no choice but to shut her mouth.
Concubine Shu wanted to know the news outside the palace, so she had been waiting quietly, even if her days were like years, she had to wait.
"This full moon banquet should be held in Qianqiu Palace, right?"
Concubine Shu's eyes were no longer clear, and she stared blankly at the light coming from the gap in the window lattice: "I remember that when the eldest prince was born, the emperor wanted to be in Qianqiu Palace.
There was a lot of excitement in the palace, but unfortunately the eldest prince was so ill that he almost died, so he decided to stop."
But this time there was no one and nothing could stop the emperor.
He must be extremely proud of himself, and he would not hesitate to let others know this.
The emperor usually looks very heroic and majestic, but when he smiles, he makes people feel amiable.
Concubine Shu tried her best to recall the time when she had just entered the palace, before the emperor ascended the throne.
What was he like at that time?
Concubine Shu could no longer remember.
It happened to be noon, and the little eunuch who had brought the meal brought in the suitcase, and Biyue came over to lay out the meal.
Today's meal is more sumptuous than usual.
A dish of tongue soup is a truly rich dish, and it is what Concubine Shu usually likes to eat.
During the month she was imprisoned, although she could not go hungry, the kitchen would not do this for her.
"Why are there so many dishes today?"
Even Biyue was puzzled.
The little eunuch who usually kept silent said today: "Today is the second prince's full moon, and there are extra dishes everywhere in the palace."

Biyue quickly turned around worriedly, but Concubine Shu looked very calm.
She pointed at the tongue soup and said, "I didn't expect it was stained by the Second Prince, so just scoop some for me."
Biyue rolled up her sleeves to serve Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu had no intention of eating these days, but today she finally said she wanted to eat.
Biyue quickly filled a bowl of rice for her, and scooped two spoonfuls of the tongue soup into the bowl.
Concubine Shu took the bowl and ate it carefully one bite at a time.
Bi Yue felt uncomfortable in her heart.
She was living a simple life these days.
It was nothing like her being a slave.
Concubine Shu was raised in fine clothes and fine food.
How could she have ever suffered such a crime?
Fortunately, Concubine Shu ate a lot during this meal, which was about the same as her usual meal a month ago, or even a little more.
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, Concubine Shu told Biyue: "See if you can ask the people outside for two buckets of hot water.
I want to take a bath."
Although Biyue felt a little embarrassed, she still went out and spoke.
I wonder if it was because the second prince was really full moon, and even the eunuch at the door became easy to talk to.
After a while, hot water was delivered, and Bi Yue cheered up to help Concubine Shu take a bath.
In the past, when Concubine Shu took a bath, there would be seven or eight people waiting on her.
She would be dazzled by all kinds of toiletries including face, toilet water, oil, chicken eggs, and honey.
Bi Yue was the only one now, and she was busy trying to do something.
Concubine Shu looked at her and turned red in the face, so she said softly: "There's no need to worry about it, just wash it off."
Biyue responded, stood behind her where Concubine Shu could not see her, wiped her tears, and began to wash Concubine Shu's hair seriously.
The bath lasted for more than half an hour.
After the bath, Concubine Shu changed into a new set of clothes and sat in front of the mirror to dress up seriously.
She put her hair into a high bun, opened her jewelry box, and covered her hair with jewelry that she didn't usually use much.
Just now, Biyue thought that today would be a turning point, and that the emperor would finally be lenient and let the empress go.
But looking at Concubine Shu's current behavior, the ominous premonition in her heart became more and more serious.
Watching Concubine Shu pick and choose from several eyebrows, and when she picked out one indigo to draw her eyebrows, Biyue couldn't bear it any longer, and knelt down at Concubine Shu's feet with a plop: "My dearest lady, please don't do this.
What a stupid thing to do” Concubine Shu turned her head and glanced at her: "What a stupid thing?"
Biyue's heart was full of panic: "You must think about the princess, the eldest master and his wife.
This matter is nothing, they only have some slaves' confessions, and there is no physical evidence at all.
You must be more open-minded.
Only by keeping the green hills in place can we plan for the future.”
At this point, the matter has little to do with witness or physical evidence.
The power of the Lin family has grown rapidly in recent years, and these emperors may still be able to tolerate the clan members' manipulation of power, corruption and perversion of the law.
But the Lin family's hands reached into the harem and reached out to the emperor's children.
The emperor would never tolerate it any longer.
But Biyue didn't understand this.
Concubine Shu held her eyebrows and was slightly lost in thought: "Get up, I have my own opinion."
She no longer cared about Biyue, and focused on herself in the mirror, tracing her eyebrows and applying makeup.
Finally, she picked up a satin-like glossy lipstick with her fingertips and slowly spread it on her lips.
The pale lips were made delicate and plump by lipstick.
A quick look in the mirror showed that she was still the same, and she didn't seem to have changed much.
Then Concubine Shu sat there, quiet and motionless.
Biyue asked her if she wanted tea, but she just shook her head.

"Mother, what are you doing?"
Concubine Shu thought for a while and said, "Wait."
What are you waiting for?
The shadow of the sun gradually slanted to the west, the last light disappeared from under the window, the sky darkened, and Bi Yue knew what Concubine Shu was waiting for.
She was waiting for the emperor.
Biyue was taken out of the palace.
She was panic-stricken, wondering how the emperor would decide to deal with the empress in the end.
Concubine Shu stood up and made a big salute: "I respectfully welcome the emperor."
She has said this sentence countless times.
In the past, the emperor would also say the same sentence, "I love my concubine."
But today the emperor paused slightly and sat down slowly.
Concubine Shu didn't hear that sentence, so she stood up and sat down on the chair below.
Bai Hongqi quietly stepped forward and placed a stack of paper in Concubine Shu's hand.
On the paper were confessions, drawn one by one, with shocking blood stains splattered in some places.
The names of the eldest prince, Princess Yubin, and concubines who had had miscarriages and stillborn babies were all prominently displayed above.
Concubine Shu put down the confessions and said softly: "I have something to ask the emperor."
"Do you want to ask how the Lin family is doing now?"
Concubine Shu raised her head and looked at him: "Yes.
I want to ask the emperor how to deal with them."
"Your father was exiled to Qinzhou, your cousin and uncle were beheaded, the Lin family's property was confiscated, and the female family members and underage men were sold into official slaves."
Concubine Shu closed her eyes tightly for a moment and then opened them again.
She took a deep breath: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at her.
There were only two lamps lit in the palace, and the person illuminating them was unclear.
The shadows were blurry, and most of Concubine Shu's body and face were shrouded in shadow.
After sleeping together for more than ten years, the emperor felt that he had never clearly seen the true face of the person next to him.
"Although what I have done over the years has been hidden from the emperor for a while, the day will eventually come to light.
I don't want to defend myself, but just beg the emperor.
Yuyao is still young, please The emperor should find a suitable person to raise her.
When she becomes sensible, there is no harm in telling her everything about the concubine, so that she will not hold grudges against anyone or think about any grudges, so that she can get married in peace and live a good life. " Thinking of Princess Yuyao, the emperor also felt sour in his heart: "I promise you.
She is also my daughter.
What you do and what the Lin family does has nothing to do with her, so I will naturally treat her badly."
Concubine Shu nodded.
The emperor gave her one last look, stood up and walked out.
From beginning to end, Concubine Shu didn't ask the emperor what he wanted to do with herself, and the emperor didn't say anything either.
As soon as the emperor left, Biyue crawled in from outside and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what did the Emperor say about the princess?
Can the princess come back?"
Concubine Shu raised her head and looked outside the palace door.
It was a good moon today.
There was a silvery glow outside the palace door, and it was as white as frost.
"If I were alive, no matter who adopted Yuyao, he would have to be very wary and would never really treat her as his own, for fear that I, the bane, would cause trouble again one day.
Yuyao will grow up soon. , She must marry decently, and she cannot have a sinner mother who drags her down."
Concubine Shu turned to look at Biyue: "We have been master and servant for more than ten years.
I never thought that you would end up like this with me.
If I had known, I should have dealt with you earlier.

You were released from the palace."
Biyue shook her head and said: "This slave is not afraid of death.
If you are alive, I will obey your Majesty's instructions.
When you get underground, I will serve you."
Concubine Shu raised her hand, placed it on her head, and touched her gently: "In the past, I was also fascinated by power.
I always felt that I was a great concubine.
I had the emperor under my control.
I felt that the Lin family was powerful.
You can cover the sky with your hands, but if the emperor is angry, these things will not be able to bear a blow, if I had known this."
After all, she still didn't say what she had known would happen.
There was no point in talking about that now.
She motioned to Biyue to open the bedside cabinet, where plain white twill silk ribbons were neatly stacked.
Far away from Yanning Palace, in the palace behind Honghui Palace, Princess Yuyao suddenly woke up and couldn't stop crying.
At the third watch of the night, someone discovered that Concubine Lin had hanged herself in a side hall of Yanning Palace.
Biyue, the palace maid, touched a pillar and died.
The second update is here, and I’m going to bed.
I always want to write during the day, but I just can’t do it during the day.
I also know that it’s not good to sleep late, so I still want to try my best to change my schedule and at least advance my bedtime to twelve o’clock.
I saw some people say that I am always late, and I am trying to change this.
