Chapter 798 Things Might Have Changed
When the news that the emperor ordered Liu Shiqing to be executed spread in the palace, people had different reactions.
Some people are excited, some are looking forward to it, and some feel that everything is reasonable.
But more people... especially the old people who came from the Qiandi, felt a little sad.
People in the palace only knew that Liu Shiqing was the most favored concubine in the palace. Only those of them who had been in the palace for a long time understood how much His Majesty loved Liu Shiqing when she first joined the palace.
Her temper was much more spoiled than it is now.
Jiang Shuren, who was still a princess, could only avoid Liu Shiqing's sharp edge every time. Her frustrated look was not like a princess at all.
And now... the newcomer is better than the old one, and Liu Shiqing ends up with a broken soul.
Although Liu Shiqing had committed many evil things, he had brought this upon himself, but the emperor... was truly ruthless!
"Namo Amitabha……"
Concubine Zhuang was still kneeling in the Buddhist temple, beating the wooden fish again and again.
She was very self-aware and understood that even though she and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, her importance in the emperor's heart was by no means comparable to that of Liu Shiqing.
If the emperor could sentence Liu Shiqing to death, then what could she be?
Therefore, Concubine Zhuang never did evil herself, but always achieved her goals through the help of others. This time, she failed to do anything related to Concubine Hao, and fell into Concubine Chen's trap.
Because she knew the emperor's fickleness, she never gave her true heart to him. Unlike Liu Shiqing, whose mind was filled with love, he ended up playing a good hand badly...
……
Lixuan Pavilion.
Li Changde brought a few young eunuchs and brought the three sets of execution.
Even though Liu Shiqing was at the end of her life, Li Changde was still polite to her.
He signaled the eunuch behind him to pass the tray over, and said while bending over, "Liu, your majesty has already found out all the truth about you using Lu Fang to cause Concubine Sun to have a difficult birth."
"You have committed countless crimes. His Majesty has ordered that you commit suicide! Here is a white silk, a dagger, and poisoned wine. Please choose one."
Liu Shiqing sat on a chair with his hair loose and a dazed look on his face.
She had lost a lot of weight, and her skin was pale and almost transparent. The sunlight shone through the window and fell on her stunning face, which had a sense of beauty that came from the peaceful years.
After Li Changde finished speaking, Liu Shiqing still had no reaction, as if he didn't hear what he said.
Li Changde had no choice but to say, "Liu, His Majesty has ordered you to commit suicide!"
Liu Shiqing slowly looked out the window, stretched out his slender fingers and waved outside: "Brother Xuanyu, you came to see me? Qingqing is here!"
The young eunuchs' faces suddenly changed, and their eyes were filled with horror!
Is Liu crazy? How dare she address His Majesty by his name?
Even though His Majesty has issued an order to sentence her to death, she can't be so reckless, right? !
Only Li Changde seemed to understand something and could not hide the surprise on his face.
He had been serving His Majesty since he was a child, so he naturally knew that His Majesty was still a prince. Not long after he met Liu Shiqing, Liu Shiqing had always called him "Brother Xuanyu."
Only later, when His Majesty's status became more and more noble, she began to call him "Prince" and "Your Majesty" according to the rules.
Xiao Huizi glanced at Liu Shiqing and whispered, "Master, why do I feel that... Liu Shi seems to be out of her mind?"
Li Changde shook his head.
Do I need to tell you? Anyone can see it.
Another young eunuch asked in embarrassment: "Eunuch Li, what should we do now?"
How could a madwoman understand what people said? Of course, she didn't know what His Majesty meant by sentencing her to death.
They had encountered this kind of situation before, and the people who were sentenced to death were either crazy or refused to die. They were too lazy to talk nonsense and just sent them to heaven.
But Liu Shiqing...
After all, she was once a noble concubine, and everyone knew how much His Majesty loved her.
And even if the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had given up on her, she was still a precious and noble daughter of the emperor. Who knew if they would be retaliated against if they killed her?
What if His Majesty remembers Liu's kindness one day and takes his anger out on them?
Several people looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward...
Li Changde was silent for a while, then said, "You guys stay here and watch, I will go and report to His Majesty."
"Yes!"
When he returned to the Yangxin Palace, he learned that the emperor was discussing matters with Lord Gu and other ministers. Li Changde did not dare to go in and disturb them, so he had to stand at the door and wait quietly.
……
Zhongcui Palace.
Concubine Sun was talking to Shen Zhinian in the main hall.
She touched her belly, her face full of joy: "...What a close call! If Imperial Doctor Tang had discovered it a little later, I and the baby would have been in danger."
"Liu was so vicious that she finally got the fate she deserved!"
"I am right here, waiting for news of her departure with Sister Noble Concubine Chen!"
Chu Xiyan stood by with her head down, biting her lips, her eyes full of hatred!
It wasn't just Concubine Sun and Concubine Chen who were waiting for news? There was also her!
Now that Liu Shiqing was dead, her mission in the palace was accomplished. She could go to her father and mother's graves without any worries and tell them the good news.
Who knew that at this moment, Xiao Mingzi hurriedly walked in from outside: "My queen, it's not good! I'm afraid things have changed..."
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes and glanced at him: "What's going on?"
Xiao Mingzi recounted what happened in Lixuan Pavilion in general.
Concubine Sun's expression changed slightly: "...Sister Concubine Chen, in the past in the Qiandi Palace, no matter how big a mistake Liu made, His Majesty would pick it up high and let it go gently."
"Your Majesty ordered her death this time. I'm afraid it was because he saw that I was pregnant and if I wasn't careful, two people would die. He made this decision in anger."
"If we delay, something bad will happen... If we wait until His Majesty recovers, he might be reluctant to sentence Liu to death..."
Fuqiu nodded in agreement: "What's more, Liu is now crazy. I'm afraid that His Majesty will think that she will not pose a threat to others."
Chu Xiyan suddenly raised her head, her face full of worry.
If Liu doesn't die, then what will happen to her great revenge? !
However, she also understood that at this time, she, a palace maid, could do nothing...
Concubine Sun looked down at her belly, a stern look flashed in her eyes: "Sister Concubine Chen, why don't we end this matter in advance before His Majesty changes his mind!"
"Your Majesty has issued a decree of death anyway, so we are not acting on our own initiative."
"Who knows whether Liu is really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. If she survives, there will be endless troubles!"
Shen Zhinian shook his head: "No!"
She had long understood that Liu's death could only be caused by the emperor's inability to tolerate her crimes and his personal decision to sentence her to death.
She must not get involved, otherwise it would be a huge hidden danger for the future.
Concubine Sun frowned nervously: "Is there nothing we can do but watch Liu escape this disaster?"
