No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Of course, the Fourth Master did not regard Empress Xiaoyi Ren as his real mother. After all, Concubine De was still such a grown-up.

However, he did not forget the kindness of the Tonggiya clan, and he still treated them well at the beginning.

When the Longkodo incident came out, he was angry but he did not lose his mind.

Although they suppressed them, they also promoted several members of the Tong family.

Especially Shun Anyan, because of Wen Xian, his status has been rising rapidly.

It can be said that he was very kind to Tonggiya.

He could not understand what Concubine Tong Gui did at all.

Concubine Tong was kneeling on the ground, her back still straight, with a bitter smile on her lips.

He readily accepted the punishment: "Now that things have come to this, please, Your Majesty, please make your decision."

She couldn't say anything to excuse herself or Tong Jia, so she could only take all the blame.

After all, although she was a concubine in the harem, she had no children and relied on the power of the Tonggiya clan.

If Tonggiya clan loses, she will also be affected.

So when she received the request to cooperate in doing such a thing, she had no way to refuse and could only go ahead with it.

But she knew very well that having two queens was already the limit for the Tong family.

It is almost impossible to replicate the glory of the Kangxi Dynasty.

But she has no right to speak or make decisions, and can only follow everyone on the wrong path.

"Punishment? What punishment? Exterminate your three clans of the Tonggiya clan?!" The Fourth Master was extremely angry.

The other party's ready confession was like punching cotton, and he couldn't feel at ease at all.

Tong Jia smiled bitterly: "I am going to die, so I can't care about the three clans or the clan."

She had done her best by accepting all the blame, and she had no control over what happened next.

This was the last time she worked for the Tong family, and it was considered as a repayment for the kindness of giving birth to her.

The Fourth Master snorted coldly: "Even if you explain everything clearly, you don't have to die!"

Although poisoning was a serious matter, it did not cause much harm.

It is acceptable to convict Concubine Tong Gui on this charge, but if the three clans of the Tong family are to be exterminated, all the civil and military officials in the court will hesitate and oppose it.

But the Fourth Master knew that Concubine Tong was definitely just following orders and there was someone else behind the scenes.

As long as she confesses, she can be given a chance to live.

Concubine Tong sighed, but still said nothing, just pretending to admit her guilt.

The Fourth Master lowered his gaze and said, "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know who ordered you to do this."

Concubine Tong raised her eyes and saw the confidence in his eyes, then thought about it for a while, wondering if there was something wrong.

"No..." She said one word and shut up.

impossible.

All outsiders who contacted her went through Eunuch Li, but Eunuch Li died after the incident.

There is no way His Majesty would know.

"You've done this time and again. Do you really think I'm a fool?" The Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. "This time, Longkodo will definitely not escape!"

He would have turned a blind eye to other things, but since he actually dared to attack Cha Cha, he should be prepared to be retaliated against!

Concubine Tong Gui was shocked for a moment, but she calmed down and said, "This is totally unfounded..."

"Evidence? Is this what the concubine is talking about?" Su Peisheng smiled sinisterly, took out a pile of letters from his arms and handed them over.

The whole thing was written in Longkodo's handwriting, and it was all about the conspiracy to murder the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan.

"This...this is impossible!" Concubine Tong Gui collapsed!

These letters are all forged. They never leave a single word behind when communicating with each other!

She crumpled the letter paper in her hand into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth desperately, like a madman.

Seeing her swallowing so hard that she burped, Su Peisheng added, "This is just one of the copies, and the handwriting is not very mature."

"We still have plenty, can you eat it all, Toffee?"

Don’t you mind the smell of ink?!

Concubine Tong finally broke down and cried, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on us and spare the Tong family."

If she was calm just now, it was because she was sure that the other party could only take her life.

But now he can no longer hold it in, because this evidence is enough to get the entire Tong family executed!

"That depends on whether the Concubine Dowager is willing to identify him!" The Fourth Master had a dark face and no expression.

But Concubine Tong Gui already felt threatened from his words.

If she points the finger, Longkodo will be the only one to die.

If she doesn't admit it, the entire Tong family will be buried with her!

"I admit it, I admit it, it was Longkodo who ordered the eunuchs..."

Concubine Tong explained everything clearly and in detail, without even having to make up any lies. All her statements matched up, after all, this was the truth.

While Longkodo was still dreaming at home, he was arrested and thrown into prison, awaiting the death penalty.

It was already a good thing that the other members of the Tong family were not implicated, so no one dared to speak for him.

At the state banquet, an attempt to murder the queen actually occurred. How could this be tolerated?

Who is the queen?

That is the apple of His Majesty’s eye!

He was almost murdered. How could His Majesty be in a good mood?

Everyone cowered down like quails, fearing that they would offend the master above and suffer another misfortune.

As for the Fourth Master, although he had solved the problem of Longkodo, he felt much more relieved.

But every day when he went to court, he had a frown and a gloomy look on his face, as if he was in a very bad mood.

As a result, the ministers became panicked.

What's going on? Tell me what's going on, and let's discuss it together!

Someone came to consult Zhang Tingyu: "Master Zhang, you are deeply blessed by the emperor. Do you know what happened?"

When will this day of living in fear and treading on thin ice end?

Zhang Tingyu also looked distressed: "Alas, I don't know either, alas~~~"

"Don't worry, is there anything you don't know?" The man said anxiously, "Please think about it again, think about it again."

Zhang Tingyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I've heard that this time, the Queen's murder was not only carried out by that person, but also by concubines in the cold palace. I don't know if there is any connection."

"Well... I heard that a concubine was demoted to a commoner. Why is she unhappy about that?"

"That's unknown~~" Zhang Tingyu said nothing more, bowed and left.

The people who stayed looked at each other, and then suddenly started talking enthusiastically.

Some said that the Emperor still had feelings for that concubine, while others said that there was no one in the harem that made him unhappy.

After discussing this, everyone was thinking about whether they should suggest holding a new selection to enrich the Emperor's harem.

Finally, the Minister of Revenue, Ma Qi, sneered: "You guys, be more careful~~~"
