The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

Probably because he was going to meet the emperor, his prison uniform was relatively clean, but his face was covered in bruises and there were clearly visible palm prints.

This was Shen, the Shen who had tortured her for more than ten years.

In Jiang Lingyue's impression, Shen was charming and attractive, with a soft and gentle southern accent in her voice. She loved to use her soft and gentle voice to say heart-piercing words.

When Jiang Lingyue learned the word "femme fatale" when she was a child, the person who came to her mind was Shen.

But Jiang Shao really likes this.

When Shen proposed to marry Jiang Lingyue to the playboy of the Shen family who was illiterate, fond of male beauty and well-known in the capital, Jiang Shao hesitated for a rare moment.

It's not that he felt sorry for his daughter, but he thought it was really inappropriate for the eldest daughter of the Jiang family to marry such a thing.

But this little hesitation was no match for Shen's coquettish look.

She didn't even need to think of a high-sounding reason, nor did she need to pretend to cry and act weak, Jiang Shao agreed.

While Jiang Shao was busy trying to coax his wife, Jiang Lingyue was kneeling on the ground, facing Shen's mocking eyes, and her heart was chilled.

And now, the seemingly invincible Shen was crawling on the ground, with a dull and lifeless expression.

With a creaky sound, the door of the next room was pushed open.

A young man in dark clothes stepped in. As the door opened, dazzling sunlight shone into the slightly dim room. Shen raised her hand to block her eyes and saw the person through her fingers.

She was the general's wife and had been to the palace for banquets many times, so of course she had met Qi Junyi.

Seeing the emperor in person, she trembled all over, straightened her kneeling position, and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am a sinner."

His voice was hoarse, as if his throat was injured.

A guard brought in a soft chair. After Qi Junyi sat down, he lowered his eyes and glanced at her. After the room was cleared and everyone left, he said indifferently, "Shen, do you admit your guilt?"

"I acknowledge my guilt." Shen maintained her kowtow and said, "My second uncle committed a grave offense, implicating the entire family. I am a daughter of the Shen family, having received their kindness in raising me. I deserve to die with them."

He was eloquent and every word he said was a gem. He kept saying that everyone should die together, but he secretly defended his innocence in being implicated.

Qi Junyi pretended not to hear. He tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingertips and said, "Besides that, do you remember any other things you've done that would have led to your own death?"

There was silence in the room for a moment.

Suddenly, a 'dong' sound was heard.

Shen kowtowed to the ground and said hurriedly, "I shouldn't be so mean to the Concubine who looks like her because of my jealousy towards my sister."

...be harsh to others.

Beside the dark window, Jiang Lingyue clenched her fingertips.

It turns out that so much bullying and oppression can only be transformed into one word: "treat harshly".

Qi Junyi certainly knew how difficult his little girl's life was in the Jiang family, but the scrolls that could be turned into text and presented to the emperor were only some typical examples.

He, who was born at the top, could not understand the pain.

Even so, his face remained gloomy. "What else?"

besides?

Shen was stunned, and in a trance she actually raised her head and looked directly at the emperor.

There was no one else in the room to punish her for her disrespect. Only Qi Junyi stared at her with cold eyes and said word by word, "God is drunk."

These three words were like steel nails, pinning Shen's whole body stiffly to the ground.

After two days in jail and suffering humiliation, she lived on bravely just to find out whether the matter had been exposed.

Will her Xin'er be implicated?

And now, the last bit of luck has been completely crushed.

...Plotting to murder the imperial concubine of the current dynasty is a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

Shen was stunned for a few breaths before finally reacting. She knelt a few steps and said, "I deserve to die. I was blinded by greed and committed the murder. It has nothing to do with anyone else. Your Majesty, please investigate. The rest of the Jiang family is innocent. Xin'er was unaware of the situation. I beg Your Majesty to spare her life."

The way he pleaded for mercy for his daughter was really touching.

Qi Junyi sneered, "She's actually a loving mother."

"Spare your daughter? When you poisoned her, why didn't you think of sparing someone else's daughter?" He stood up, walked a few steps to her, and said, "How about asking your daughter to keep you company?"

"No!"

The women of the Shen family either worked as prostitutes in the Jiaofangsi to serve officials, or worked as military prostitutes in the camps to entertain the troops.

There is no third way.

Shen was struck by lightning, screaming in fear and kowtowing repeatedly: "Xin'er is only fourteen years old, pure and innocent. Please have mercy on her, Your Majesty."

These words somehow angered Qi Junyi. He raised his foot and kicked her on the shoulder, knocking her to the ground. The loose hem of her prison uniform was lifted up, revealing a large area of ​​her waist and abdomen with purple pinch marks.

Jiang Lingyue, who had been watching quietly from the dark window, gasped in shock.

She was no longer an innocent girl, and she knew exactly how these marks came about.

The prison...

It seems not unpredictable that the camp prostitutes who were about to be sent to the military camp to entertain the troops would first be enjoyed by the jailers in the sky prison.

Shen is now only in her early thirties, with a beautiful face and well-maintained delicate skin.

The noble lady from a famous family who couldn't even touch the hem of someone's skirt in the past was thrown into prison and humiliated. How could the jailers let her go so easily?

Jiang Lingyue's pupils widened.

Qi Junyi kicked over and after glancing at those marks, he subconsciously looked over there.

How could such a filthy thing pollute her eyes?

Shen was kicked, but she didn't even cry out in pain. She crawled on the ground, her mind full of thoughts that her young daughter would be turned into mud like her.

I will also experience what she experienced.

...How can this be!

After a long while, Shen slowly straightened her body from kneeling. "Your Majesty, please allow me to speak one more word."

"To cure the immortal intoxication within the body of the Concubine, a medicinal herb is needed. This herb only grows in Lingnan and is extremely rare. There is only one left in the world. When the convicted woman got married, her mother specially gave her this herb as a dowry."

Now that she has done it, why wouldn't she leave herself a way out?

Although Shenxianzui is the most unique poison in the world, it is colorless, tasteless, and not noticeable on the pulse, but it is not truly infallible.

If that bitch had entered the palace and gained favor, it would have been fine if she had died quietly. But if the emperor couldn't bear to see his beloved concubine die, he would post an imperial edict and summon all the miraculous doctors in the world to the palace. How could they not discover the clues?

At that time, she had to leave a way out for herself and her daughter.

Seeing the desperate situation, Shen no longer trembled and begged for mercy. Instead, she raised her head and said in a desperate and ruthless voice, "If Your Majesty wants to use the medicine to cure the divine intoxication in the Empress, please spare my innocent and pitiful daughter."

The room was completely silent. Although it was a sunny day in midsummer, there was a chill in the air.

Jiang Lingyue no longer cared about the medicine. She looked up in a daze, subconsciously wanting to see what the emperor would look like when he was provoked like this.
