Chapter 48: Feng Luan Die Down

At the time of Xu, the people from Shangfangsi came to Fengluan Palace and took Miaochun away.

When Miaochun was leaving, she stared at the queen with tears in her eyes. There was also deep sadness in the queen's eyes, but she was powerless.

Tossing and turning overnight can't sleep.

Early the next morning, Cheng Dehai opened the gate of Fengluan Palace with a smile and led a group of eunuchs in.

At that time, the queen was dressing up in the hall. When she saw Cheng Dehai coming in, she knew something was wrong. She thought Miao Chun had confessed, and even her voice trembled a little, "Is there anything important about Eunuch Hai coming so early?"

Cheng Dehai bowed and said humbly, "Empress, what else can I do with a slave? Isn't it for Miaochun's affairs in the Empress Palace?" After that, he smiled and said, "Last night, the people from Shangfangsi forced their confession to Miss Miaochun, and all kinds of punishments were given, but she just refused to take it. This morning, I had to say that I would like to meet the Empress before I confess. I wonder if you can go with me?" At this point, he looked up at the Empress's face. The Empress looked graceful, without any expression, and said lightly, "What did the Emperor say?"

Cheng Dehai lowered his eyebrows and looked smooth, "The emperor agreed."

The queen's eyes trembled slightly, and she stood up and said, "I will go with you."

As soon as she walked into the gate of Shangfangsi, Li Shushen smelled a strong smell of blood, which made people disgusted. She covered her nose with her sleeves and endured her nausea and followed Cheng Dehai all the way in.

Miaochun was locked in the torture room in the corner. When the queen was in the imperial examination, there was also the eunuch of Shangfangsi who was punishing her. Cheng Dehai walked forward, raised his hand to signal him to stop, and turned to the queen with a smile on his face and said, "Empress, it's here."

The queen lowered her sleeves and looked at Miaochun. She curled up in a corner of the torture room, gasping heavily. She was covered in blood and her hair was scattered. She was tightly pressed against her wounds, and some wounds were still gushing out.

The queen was shocked when she saw this and almost screamed. Cheng Dehai had always seen this kind of scene, and his expression was calm. He raised his head and said to Miaochun inside, "The Empress is here, I will give you a quarter of an hour. If you have anything to say, please say it quickly."

When Miaochun heard this, she raised her head slightly and saw Cheng Dehai and the little eunuch who had just executed the execution gradually walked away. She stretched out her hand to lift a strand of hair in front of her and looked at the queen with a dull look.

When the queen saw her turn, she saw her appearance clearly and recognized that this was Miaochun. After a moment of trembling, she slowly spoke, "It's hard for you. I have suffered so much punishment but have not confessed."

Miaochun gently pulled the corner of her mouth. This smile-like action made her face even more distorted. She looked coldly for a moment and said coldly, "How dare I say what the Queen told me?"

The queen turned her head and tried to avoid Miaochun's gaze. She was about to say a few more words of comfort, but she heard Miaochun sneering in it. She was surprised for a moment and looked around nervously. When she was sure that there was no one around, she dared to turn back to see her.

"Empress, I really don't understand. Why do you still protect her if Master Zhong is so harmful to you?" Miaochun laughed dryly, and the laughter changed a little. She suddenly lowered her eyes and tears suddenly fell. "I have served you for nine years. From the first day you arrived at the palace, I have been by your side, never leaving you. I am so loyal to you and have never done anything to be sorry for you, but in the end I can't resist the deep sisterly love between Master Zhong and the Empress..."

The queen heard it and her heart trembled.

Miaochun is loyal to her, so why don’t she know that Miaochun is twenty-four years old this year, and the palace maid can leave the palace when she is twenty-five. She originally thought that she would wait to find a good family next year and marry her out, which would be more than vain for her loyalty for so many years.

Thinking of this, the queen closed her eyes deeply and her breathing was stagnant for a moment.

"I am here for the emperor and for the emperor's children."

She walked up and picked up Miaochun's blood-stained face. What a beautiful face she had, but now she was stained with dirt and blood, and she couldn't tell her beautiful appearance.

Miaochun turned his face away, raised her body, bowed to the queen, and suddenly looked calm. She said in a deep voice, "I am afraid that I can't leave this place alive. I just hope that after my death, the empress can treat my family well and tell them that their daughter has no intention of harming others and is innocent. I have never dared to move my salary in recent years. My mother has lung disease and has been delayed for many years. I haven't returned to see them once... I hope the empress must... must..." Speaking of this, Miaochun was already choked and cried, "I hope the empress can ask someone to bring my salary back to my mother and let her treat her well..."

The tears in the queen's eyes were surging, how could she not be sad? Miaochun was so old that she could not bear to die for her and for her selfish intentions. However, she was powerless. She was not protecting Zhong Yuxiu, but she was sacrificing Miaochun to protect Chu Luo's children.

She has been doing the same thing for the same person throughout her life.

Miaochun burst into tears in a flash. She bowed deeply to the queen, her eyes were filled with clarity, as if she had seen through all the complexities in the world, and said in a deep voice, "Go to see the Queen."

The queen turned around and wanted to say again, "Miaochun..."

Miaochun raised her eyes and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I can't say anything."

The queen was still trying to persuade her again, but Cheng Dehai had already walked up. He stood on the side of the queen and said respectfully, "Empress, the time has come."

The queen wiped her tears and said angrily, "I will stay for a while."

Cheng Dehai felt a little impatient and said briefly, "The emperor only gave him a quarter of an hour. After a little bit of slave, he would ask the queen to leave."

"Rareless! I am the queen!" The queen was already angry and looked harsh.

Cheng Dehai sneered in his heart, his eyes were also cold, "The slave is the emperor's person, so he naturally serves the emperor. If the queen insists on not leaving, then the slave can only suspect that the empress is related to this matter."

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but tremble all over. She stared at Cheng Dehai coldly, and was furious. She knew who betrayed her and who confessed Miaochun in front of the emperor. She only hated Cheng Dehai as a celebrity in front of the emperor, and she couldn't do anything about him.

She heard the sound of footsteps in her ears. When she looked back, there were guards behind her.

She raised her head, tried her best to maintain the majesty of her queen, and left under the surveillance of everyone.

Miaochun raised her head, and the queen's figure was deeply condensed with tears in her eyes. With tears in her eyes, she seemed to have seen the scene of her first meeting with Li Shushen when she was fifteen years old.

That year, she was a laundry girl with no status in the royal palace. When she was bullied by an older maid, the princess reached out to her and pulled her. Li Shushen lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly, with a springy look on her face, "Can you come to my room to serve you in the future?"

From that moment on, she deeply realized that she would follow Li Shushen regardless of the rise and fall, honor and disgrace.

At noon that day, Miaochun confessed that everything was done by herself and had nothing to do with the queen. She signed the characters and wrote the secrets, and only waited for the last moment of death.

When the news reached Chonghua Palace, Chang'an suddenly became anxious. With a flash of his hand, half of the soup was spilled out.

Han Yan was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to wipe it, muttering constantly, "Master, why are you anxious? The medicine is spilling a lot..."

Chang'an said in a daze, "This thing was not done by Miaochun, why did she admit it?"

Han Yan sighed and sighed, "What if it's not her that she did? The master behind the scenes refused to come out, so he could only use her as a scapegoat. The master had never seen Shang Fangsi's punishment before. He had to admit it if he didn't admit it."

When Han Yan said this, he suddenly remembered the night he was in Shangfangsi, and his hair stood up.

Chang'an put the medicine on the small table beside the bed and changed color, "She is not guilty. Wouldn't she betray others if she dies in vain?"

Han Yan curled his lips and felt very sad, "That's it. I have known Miaochun for so many years, but I don't believe she would do such a thing. It's so heartbreaking to be alone."

Chang'an's heart twitched, and even his eyebrows furrowed. She thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she said anxiously, "Hurry, Han Yan, take my token and go to Shangfangsi to ask for someone, so that they can let Miaochun go!"

Han Yan was shocked when he heard this, "What did the master say?"

Chang'an just pretended that it had not been heard of it and urged, "Go quickly, it will be too late if it is too late."

Han Yan was also startled and quickly agreed to go. Finally, he stood at the door and refused to leave.

Chang'an was also anxious, "What are you doing while standing there?"

"Master..." Han Yan's expression was a little ugly, and he murmured, "The emperor..."

Chang'an sighed lightly, with a little dark and solemnity in his eyes, "Don't worry. The emperor has his own way. I just say that I will not pursue the matter and want to keep Miaochun's life. The emperor will not blame him."

"Oh, okay." Han Yan nodded repeatedly, and trotted towards Shangfangsi with the token.

Chang'an took a deep breath, drank the remaining half bowl of medicine, and his thoughts were floating in his heart.

She had asked Zhu Zheng privately that musk caused infertility. She was originally weak in her qi and blood, and it was not easy to get pregnant. In addition, she had been in charge of her elder brother's funeral a few days ago, which was really sad and depressed. The spice was just a little bit on the flower core, which was not the culprit of her miscarriage. Jiang Wanran blamed all her miscarriage on Haitang's mistakes, which was obviously trying to take the opportunity to attack the queen's power. She had the eldest son and the niece of the empress dowager. If she wanted to shake her status, she could only use Shen Chang'an's children.

Chang'an felt sad, and Jiang Wanran was indeed more decisive than her and more ruthless than her.

If Miaochun was charged with this matter, the queen would naturally not have a good time. Chang'an knew about this. She had no evidence to prove Miaochun's innocence, so she could only try her best to protect her. In this way, she could do everything.
