Chapter 117: Shangguan Guiren was demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace
The emperor looked at Shen Zhinian in surprise: "Noble Lady Shangguan deliberately framed you, and you still speak for her?"
Shen Zhinian sighed: "Let's put it this way. I just put my heart in their shoes and can't bear to see someone being wronged."
If it were someone else, they would have killed Shangguan Guiren to avenge the frame-up. But this little girl remained true to herself, and her kindness made him feel distressed.
He was right about her.
"Since Lady Rou has spoken, I will let you die with a sincere heart."
"Come here, send someone out of the palace to investigate!"
Li Changde replied "yes" and did it immediately.
Shangguan Guiren was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
She doesn't know Little Leo at all, and has never threatened him with his family. Your Majesty will know the truth if you check.
But she didn't expect... with so many people present, it was Shen Zhinian who spoke for her in the end.
However, Shangguan Guiren was not grateful, but instead thought Shen Zhinian was stupid.
If you have the chance to kill your enemy but don't do it, won't you wait for him to recover and continue to fight against you? What's the use of being kind? No one will remember her kindness. This kind of personality will die the fastest in the harem!
Liu Ruyan lowered her eyes to hide the mockery that flashed across her eyes.
Given Shen Zhinian's personality, since he dared to say that, he must have arranged all the follow-up matters.
Noble Lady Shangguan...is useless.
She didn't expect Shen Zhinian to be so scheming. He had started planning a long time ago, one thing after another, making it impossible for her to defend herself!
But it doesn’t matter. Once she finds the opportunity, this powerful weapon of hers will definitely kill Shen Zhinian!
As long as Shen Zhinian dies, no one can stand in her way!
Liu Ruyan touched her still flat belly, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Not long after, the person who went to investigate outside the palace came back. After bowing, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Xiao Li's family is indeed controlled by a group of robbers. After investigation, we found that the robbers were actually people from the Shangguan family in disguise!"
Shangguan Guiren suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief: "How is this possible?!"
Although there wasn't much father-daughter affection between Shen Zhinian and her father, her father always did a great job of everything she asked him to do. This kind of mutually beneficial relationship wasn't bad.
She looked at Shangguan Guiren as if she was looking at a corpse, but her expression was a little sad: "It's really Shangguan Guiren... I have no grudges against you, I really don't understand why you are deliberately trying to harm me?"
Although Shangguan Guiren didn't know what was going on, she told her directly that Shen Zhinian must have something to do with it: "It's you! It must be you who hired someone to frame me! You..."
"enough!"
The emperor interrupted Shangguan Guiren coldly, his tone full of disgust: "You have done so many evil things yourself, and now you still want to blame others? There is no room for a vicious woman like you in my harem!"
"Come here, pass on my decree. Shangguan Guiren has committed an unforgivable crime of murdering and framing a concubine. She will be demoted to a commoner and banished to the cold palace immediately!"
"Her father was a poor parent and could not bear the heavy responsibility, so he was demoted to Lingnan to be a county magistrate!"
Immediately, two young eunuchs came forward, grabbed Shangguan Shuren from the left and right, and dragged her out.
There is a lot of miasma in Lingnan. My father has lived a life of luxury in Beijing for many years. How can he survive in a place like that as a poor county magistrate?
Tears kept welling up in Shangguan Shuren's eyes. She struggled and begged, "Your Majesty, I am truly wronged, Your Majesty! Please be clear-headed and let my father go..."
The young eunuch was very considerate. He blocked her mouth and quickly dragged her away.
Shen Zhinian lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the sharp light that flashed in his eyes.
The reason why she chose to attack Shangguan Shuren was not only because the other party had provoked her many times, but also because Shangguan Shuren's father was Shen's father's immediate superior.
They were not on good terms in the palace, and Shangguan Ming made things difficult for and suppressed Shen's father several times in official circles.
Although Shen Zhinian has no feelings for Shen's father, she is closely related to the former dynasty and the harem, and she also needs the support of her family, so naturally she has to clear the obstacles for Shen's father.
Shen Zhinian is very satisfied with today's result!
"Little Li and the palace maids who served Shangguan Shuren personally, all shall be executed!"
After the emperor said this in annoyance, he stood up, took Shen Zhinian's hand, and left Shangxiang Palace.
Everyone saluted quickly: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Shen Zhinian could feel the cold gaze behind her without even turning around. If looks could kill, she would have been poked into a sieve by those concubines.
After returning to Tingyu Pavilion, the palace servants immediately served a delicious dinner.
Shen Zhinian served the emperor a bowl of soup and said gently, "Your Majesty, anger hurts the liver, don't think about those troubles anymore."
Nangong Xuanyu took the soup and put it down, holding her hand, and said with pity: "The women in the harem are always full of conspiracies and tricks, and there is no peace for a day. Only when I am with you, I feel relaxed and comfortable."
"Nian Nian, I'm sorry for putting you through this today."
Shen Zhinian's charming eyes were filled with deep affection as she looked at the emperor, "Nian Nian is not wronged. Because Nian Nian knows that no matter what happens, your husband will always believe in you and protect you."
No matter how many concubines there were in the harem, they all treated him as a king and revered and served him. Only this little girl treated him as her own husband and trusted and relied on him.
Emperors are suspicious. It is said that serving an emperor is like serving a tiger. People who have to serve him with all their heart all day long will inevitably feel lonely at the top.
This feeling of being trusted wholeheartedly was something he had never experienced before. Even his legitimate wife, the queen, had never given him such ordinary happiness.
I don’t know when it started, but the emperor looked at Shen Zhinian with a look of love and sincerity: “This is good.”
"My Nian Nian is a rare pure and kind person in the harem. Since I like your simplicity and kindness, I will always protect you and prevent you from being corrupted by the filth in the harem and changing your personality."
Shen Zhinian lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Nian Nian will always trust and love my husband."
Little did he know that she was born with a charming figure, and her shy and timid look made the emperor simply unable to let go of her.
The emperor was always generous with his favors to those he loved: "Shangguan Shuren is jealous and vicious, which is despicable. But without the support of the Shangguan family, she would not have been able to do this."
"I remember that Shangguan Ming was originally the Minister of the Imperial Household, and your father was the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household. Since I have already ordered him to be demoted to Lingnan, let your father take over."
Although there is only one character difference between the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple and the Qing of Guanglu Temple, the gap between them is huge!
The former is only a fifth-rank official, while the latter is a third-rank official!
