Chapter 263 Scented Sachet Letter
Zhonghe Palace
The charcoal fire was burning brightly, and the whole palace was warm.
Qiao Xin walked in and looked at Lin Junxue who was sitting on the couch and reading a book.
Guyu and Danzhen were standing by, serving.
Lin Junxue raised her eyes and said calmly, "Gao Cheng, went to the Shangxing Division?"
Qiao Xin came forward
"Gao Cheng just came out of Taiwu Palace and took his men directly to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He came out very quickly. I heard that a eunuch was executed. The emperor just issued an order that the poisoning of Concubine Mo was done by Concubine Si. She committed suicide out of fear of the crime. This matter is over and will not be pursued any further. The emperor forbade anyone to mention this matter again."
Dan Zhen said, "It just ended like this. The emperor had clearly found out who the real murderer was, but he just let the queen mother treat the concubines so cruelly. Concubine Si died so unjustly. Concubine Mo has ruined her reputation in the future and has no other thoughts. It seems that the queen mother did such a bad thing and then got away with it."
Guyu sighs
"Sister Danzhen, aren't there enough people who died unjustly in the harem? The Queen Mother is of high status, and even if there are ten concubines in the harem, they can't compare to the Queen Mother in the emperor's heart, so this is the natural result."
Lin Junxue put down the book in her hand, her eyes understood, she was not surprised at all.
Because she already knew that even if Xie Yu found out that the matter was related to the Queen Mother, he would not pursue it.
It's not just about the so-called mother-son relationship, but also because it concerns the royal reputation.
What Xie Yu values most is his reputation. If this matter gets out, it will bring shame to the royal family and will be criticized by people all over the world.
In the future, even if Xie Yu and the Queen Mother and her son are not on good terms, Xie Yu will not openly turn against the Queen Mother, and this is also a source of confidence for the Queen Mother.
People in the world value filial piety. And the Queen Mother knew that Xie Yu valued face the most.
Therefore, this matter can only end here. It is estimated that the people and evidence involved in this matter have now been completely destroyed.
Lin Junxue said softly, "The Emperor has already issued an order on this matter, so no one is allowed to say a word. From now on, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs take better care of Concubine Mo. Even if she loses her favor, don't treat her harshly."
Qiao Xin said, "Your Majesty, I understand. When Xiao Xiazi comes to deliver dried fruits, I will tell her. However, since Your Majesty does not intend to pursue this matter, then can you let the Queen Mother return to the palace? In this way, it will be in accordance with the Queen Mother's wish."
Lin Junxue curled her lips
"Accomplishing the Queen Mother's wish? Then why would I ask the Emperor to investigate further?"
She turned to look at Danzhen and said, "Go and call Yuyan over to sit down, and ask the kitchen to prepare her favorite cakes."
Danzhen was stunned. Why did the Queen call Concubine Yan over at this time?
Soon
Zhang Yuyan came here in the snow. After eating some pastries, she stayed in Zhonghe Palace for an hour. When she left, it was already evening.
After leaving Zhonghe Palace, Zhang Yuyan went directly to Taiwu Palace with the cakes.
Xie Yu was reviewing memorials. When he heard Gao Cheng say that Zhang Yuyan was coming, he was a little surprised and let her in.
Hall
Zhang Yuyan greeted Xie Yu with a smile
"Your Majesty, I just went to Zhonghe Palace to sit for a while. The Queen's small kitchen made some cakes. The Queen is feeling a little unwell in winter, so she asked me to bring them to your Majesty to taste."
As he spoke, the palace maid behind him presented the cake to Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng took it, tested it with a silver needle, and then put it on the table.
Xie Yu knew at first glance that it was the work of the Zhonghe Palace's small kitchen. He picked up a piece, tasted it, and praised it for its good taste.
Zhang Yuyan smiled and nodded
"I also think the cakes in the Queen's palace are the most delicious."
When Xie Yu saw her cute little girl's appearance, his heart was moved.
If we talk about the beauty of the concubines in the harem, Jun'er is first, and Yan Zhaoyi is undoubtedly second.
Zhang Yuyan saw Xie Yu's admiring look. She came here today for an important matter.
She stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, today, I came here because someone asked me to do so. I dare to help the deceased fulfill his last wish."
Xie Yu paused, not knowing why.
"Who do you want to give me? What do you want to give me? Just stand up and speak."
Zhang Yuyan stood up and took out a letter and an exquisitely crafted sachet from her arms.
Zhang Yuyan still felt a little uneasy when she thought about what was going to happen next.
The wrath of the emperor is not something that ordinary people can bear
However, she trusted the Queen Mother, who said that the Emperor would never be angry.
So Zhang Yuyan said what Lin Junxue had taught her.
"Your Majesty, this is what Concubine Si gave me that day. Maybe because she knew that she had made a big mistake and was going to commit suicide that night, she deliberately left this letter and the sachet she made by herself. Concubine Si said that this was her token of her love for Your Majesty. Now, Concubine Si has made a big mistake and committed suicide out of fear of punishment, but this is her last token of love for Your Majesty. I know that this action may anger Your Majesty, but I am loyal to the person who entrusted me. Today, I will present these two things to you. If Your Majesty is angry, please punish me."
Xie Yu's face darkened when Zhang Yuyan mentioned Si Guiren.
But when Zhang Yuyan finished speaking, his expression was no longer as gloomy as before, and his eyes became more complicated.
Of course he knew that Si Guiren was wrongly accused.
Even though Si Guiren was not favored among the concubines who entered the palace this time, she was still a woman who entered the palace and slept with the emperor. In the end, this incident was an unprovoked disaster.
It is rare that Si Guiren still has such feelings for him before she dies.
Xie Yu even thought of a noble who died unjustly, and made a sachet for him with his own hands.
But even though he said he missed his mother, he had to ask someone else for help to make a talisman.
What an irony!
for a while
Xie Yu sighed
"I'm not angry, get up, Yan'er, you are kind-hearted, how can I bear to blame you"
Zhang Yuyan felt relieved when she saw Xie Yu's expression.
The Queen was right. The Emperor was not angry at all and even praised her for her kindness?
Zhang Yuyan complained to the system in her heart that something was wrong. It was too wrong.
System selects automatic blocking
Xie Yu asked Gao Cheng to bring up the sachet and the letter, opened the letter, read it, and then his eyes became more profound.
In the letter, Siguiren expressed her feelings to him in every word, saying that she was innocent.
This letter still touched Xie Yu. After all, it was wrong for his mother to attack the innocent concubines in the harem.
Xie Yu raised his head and said, "Today, Yan'er will stay and sleep with me."
Zhang Yuyan: “…………”
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue picked up the scissors, cut off the dead branches of the flowers on the table, and looked out the window.
Heavy snow
Before the Queen Mother's arrival of spring, don't even think about setting foot in this harem.
Second day
After the morning court session, Xie Yu went directly to Zhonghe Palace and met Zheng Jin on the way.
Xie Yu thought about Zheng Jin who had been waiting here since early morning and whose face was red from the cold, so he agreed to have dinner with her out of sincerity.
Zhonghe Palace
Xie Yu took off his cloak, warmed himself by the fire, sat on the couch, looked at Lin Junxue, and said in a deep voice:
"Mother, you sent me a letter two days ago saying that she is ill. I plan to take her back to the palace in a while. What do you think about this, Jun'er?"
