After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

The steward wiped his sweat nervously.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince has been relatively silent for the past month and has ignored everyone.

What should we do now? Your Majesty, please give us your instructions."

Emperor Dong Ling was silent for a moment and said, "Buy a coffin and bury him on the hillside near the imperial mausoleum. He is a criminal and cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum."

"What about his mother?"

Emperor Dong Ling frowned even more tightly: "Let her see me, she is the one who killed my third son!"

It was already a bit hot in June, and the body could not be kept. It had to be dealt with as soon as possible. The manager trotted away in a hurry.

Cold palace.

In a dilapidated house, several women were surrounding Concubine Zheng who was kneeling down, beating and kicking her.

"You were allowed to bully others and act arrogantly, so why aren't you powerful now? Back then, you were the dignified Consort Zheng Shufei, so respectable and great..."

"Bah! You are now a phoenix without feathers, worse than a pheasant!"

I don’t know how long it was before the women finally got tired of beating and scolding, and left cursing.

After lying on the ground for a long time, Concubine Zheng slowly got up, endured the pain all over her body, climbed onto the broken bed, and curled up to lie down.

On days like this, she would have a major offense every three days and a minor offense every two days.

If it weren't for his son who was still in the clan house, he would have given up long ago.

In a daze, she heard someone calling her.

"Princess Zheng, get up!"

Concubine Zheng opened her eyes with difficulty and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a nanny who was in charge of the cold palace standing in the room with two men who looked like servants.

Concubine Zheng struggled to sit up: "Mammy, what's the matter?"

"Hurry up and go to the clan house."

"Zongrenfu? What happened to the emperor?"

Mammy said sternly: "The Third Prince is dead, and I want you to see him for the last time."

Concubine Zheng struggled to roll off the bed and rushed out like a madman: "My son..."

Along the way, she fell countless times, but she seemed to feel no pain at all, and she immediately got up and continued to rush forward...

Zongren Mansion.

Liu Zhi had been changed into clothes and put into the coffin, and all that was left was to close the coffin.

This was the scene that Concubine Zheng saw when she rushed to the clan house.

"My son, my son..." Concubine Zheng called out heartbreakingly.

"It's all my mother's fault!

Last month, Concubine De came to see my mother. They didn't fight or compete with each other, and as a result, they lived a better life than anyone else.

It's all your mother's fault. Please wait for me, mother. We will be together on the road to the underworld.

When the time comes, mother will atone for her sins..."

After the sound fell, Concubine Zheng bit down hard...

The mother and son chose the same way to end their lives.

Half an incense stick later, another corpse was found in the clan house.

The news soon reached the imperial study.

Emperor Dong Ling closed his eyes and said, "They chose their own way. No one else is to blame. Get them another coffin and bury them together."

The people from the clan office had no choice but to buy another coffin and bury the body, which took less than an hour.

When they were being carried out of the palace, the guards came forward and asked who they were. The answer was, "The one from the clan house and his mother."

The guard turned around and made way, showing no sympathy or curiosity at all.

The two coffins left the palace and the city without causing any commotion...

Kunning Palace.

Empress Chen was checking the account books of the Imperial Household Department.

"Are you going to prepare something to cool down this month?"

"Yes, Madam, even though it's only June, it's already very hot in the capital."

"alright."

At this time, Nanny Chen hurried over and whispered a few words into Empress Chen's ear.

Empress Chen was shocked: "Really? Where is he now?"

"It has been transported out of the palace. The emperor ordered it to be buried on a hillside near the imperial mausoleum."

Queen Chen stopped what she was doing.

“There must be something hateful about pitiful people!

They chose the same way to leave, which means they are of the same mind and can be together in death."

Nanny Chen frowned: "Could it be that because of Concubine De's visit, they lost the courage to live?"

Queen Chen smiled and said, "That's possible!

In the past, Concubine De and her son had been bullied by Concubine Zheng and her son many times.

Now, because Defei and her son behave themselves, the emperor looks up to them. They will definitely show off in front of Zhengpin and her son."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor is selecting a fiefdom for the Fourth Prince, and has agreed that Concubine De can go with him."

Empress Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I know about this. The Emperor has mentioned it to me.

So, sometimes, honest people don’t necessarily suffer losses, and the mother and son of Concubine De are typical examples.”

Nanny Chen nodded in agreement: "That's right!"

Renle Palace.

Concubine De Zhang Jing was talking to a mynah bird.

"You should say it, wish the Queen good luck, wish the Fourth Prince good luck!"

The starling simply turned its head and pointed its butt towards her.

"Hey, you little bastard, you are so disobedient, I love you in vain.

Aunt Zhang, take it away and don't let it enter the house for the whole day."

Aunt Zhang smiled and advised, "Madam, give it a chance to mend its ways?"

"A chance to reform, a chance to reform..." The starling jumped and shouted in the cage.

Concubine De laughed angrily: "No! You deserve to be punished. If I don't punish you, you won't know what's good for you."

Concubine De turned and walked away, ignoring it. The mynah bird watched the person walk away and became anxious: "Good luck to the queen, good luck to the queen..."

It made Aunt Zhang laugh so hard.

At this time, Qiao'er, the senior palace maid beside Concubine De, hurried back to Renle Palace.

"My lady, something happened, something happened..."

"What happened?"

"My lady, the man from the clan house bit his tongue and committed suicide.

The one in the cold palace rushed to the clan house like a madman, but ended up biting his tongue and committing suicide.

At this moment, as soon as he died, he was put into a coffin and pulled out of the palace.

Their humiliation of the Queen and His Highness has finally been avenged."

Concubine De was only surprised for a moment, then returned to normal.

"They, mother and son, have been strong and calculating all their lives, but in the end, this is what happened.

People, sometimes, if you take a step back, you will see a broader world.

Just like me and my son, they don’t desire things that don’t belong to them, but live a leisurely and comfortable life.”

"That's because they are not in power. Otherwise, we wouldn't have a good life either."

A figure stepped into the hall.

"My son, you're here!" Concubine De smiled and looked up at her son who was approaching step by step.

Although my son is not as smart as others, he sees things most clearly.

Liu Ze smiled and nodded: "Well, I came to see you after I came out from my father's place!"

"Have you gone to the Imperial Study to see your father?"

"Yes, I will go see my father and comfort him.

By the way, the emperor asked me where I wanted to be given a fiefdom. I said I would follow the emperor's arrangements."

Concubine De was pleased and said, "My son, you did the right thing. We will follow your father's arrangements. He said he would not treat us unfairly."

Liu Ze looked at his mother who was somewhat excited.

"Mother, you can live more comfortably when you go to your fiefdom."

"Yes, mother is looking forward to the moment of flying out of the palace, but I wonder if I have to wait for a year or half a year?"

"It should be soon!"

"My dear, do you have any news?"
