The empress and the others knew, however, that they did not wish for anyone other than themselves to be pampered. Naturally, they were happy to see it as well. As long as it did not threaten their own status, they would turn a blind eye.
As for the other matters, they were also true. The palace maid had long since been bribed by her, so she didn't have to worry about any mistakes.
Speaking of which, I have let down the lost child in the carrageenan, but even if nothing unexpected happened, the child still wouldn't be able to survive in the palace.
In less than a day, the imperial edict had already been passed down. This dispelled a part of Fu Yuheng's worries; after all, these days, it was all about the Consort De and it could be considered as a plan for both sides to achieve their goals. However, his heart was feeling somewhat depressed.
The gist of the imperial edict was just that Liu Chugrong's action of pushing the carrageenan into the water was a complete misunderstanding. Now that it had been ascertained, he was to be reinstated as the imperial concubine.
This was a major matter of the harem, so early in the morning, Sun Gonggong had specially gone to read out the imperial edict. Now, Liu Chugrong's heart was full of joy, and the people who came to congratulate the harem's concubines were even more numerous.
In addition, his father was the prime minister of the imperial court, and was now a imperial concubine. Many of the imperial concubines had the intention of fawning on him.
Shen Qingwan gave a calm smile in the face of all this. However, there was still a faint worry that could not be dispelled between her brows. After all, the current situation was something that could be swapped for a price.
In this harem, there were many new disciples that laughed, but how could they hear the cries of old people?
Right now, in a remote part of the Imperial Palace, there were weeds growing everywhere and the bricks and tiles on the walls were already in ruins.
The person on the bed trembled. Perhaps because he had thought of something, he suddenly jumped down from the bed, and his combed hair was a little scattered. However, the figure did not seem to have sensed it as he shouted to the person outside the window.
"Let me out, I want to see the emperor. What crime has chenqie committed to be locked in this cold palace? Let me out, let me out …" There was a high-pitched sound, which made the guard outside frown.
The imperial edict was not only about Liu Chujun, but it was also about the people in the Cold Palace.
And now, even if he agreed, he still didn't know why? His thoughts began to return to the moment when everything seemed to have changed.
He had originally thought that since the Honorable Liu had already regained her status as a imperial concubine, even though her status was low, she was still a member of the imperial harem. He had wanted to go forward and congratulate her, but an imperial edict had arrived!
The moment Sun Gonggong finished reciting, Xu Tingsheng felt as if the sky had fallen.
"The imperial edict said: 'You are allowed to enter the Cold Palace because of your unbecoming character and conduct. Here is my letter.'" When Sun Gonggong saw that his agreement did not even have the slightest reaction, he reminded him, "Xu Tingsheng agrees to accept the decree?"
He would not easily accept the imperial edict no matter what he said. He thought about how much effort and effort he had put into doing everything that he had gone through in order to achieve his current status, and now that he said it out loud, it would be akin to destroying all his blood and sweat, and saying he wouldn't accept anything.
"Sun Gonggong, Sun Gonggong, I'm begging you, bring me to the emperor, I want to see the emperor, chenqie didn't do anything, why did you send chenqie into a cold palace!" On the other hand, Xu Xiang had a hint of a sobbing tone as he tightly pulled on the corner of Sun Ning's clothes, making it a little difficult for Sun Gonggong to do it.
"Xu Qiuyi, after hearing this old servant's words of advice, we now have conclusive evidence. Xu Sang, it's better that you agree first …" Sun Gonggong did not know much about this matter, but after all, it was the emperor's will, so there was nothing he could do.
"If that's the case, then this chenqie will personally ask the emperor for an explanation!" Looking at Sun Gonggong's expression, Xu Nan knew what he was thinking, she then stood up from the ground, as if she wanted to charge out forcefully.
However, the guards at the side had already made their preparations. After all, this was to guard against those imperial concubines who would throw their weight around and refuse to acknowledge their wrongs. However, those guards did not care about it at all. On the other hand, when he did try to force his way out, Sun Gonggong actually shot a look at the guards, who immediately restrained him, causing him to be unable to move for a while.
"I agree. Now that the emperor has ordered me to do something, this old servant has to obey his orders and can only accept. I feel wronged." After Sun Ning finished speaking, he waved at the guards, as though he knew of the consequences of his departure, and started to struggle without caring about anything, but he was still not as strong as the masters, and thus, was forcefully dragged into the cold palace.
However, Sun Gonggong felt that after entering the cold palace, Xu Yu Heng might have been able to rest in peace, which was something he didn't expect. After all, the Emperor had issued several death orders, which were now extremely troublesome to deal with. In the end, when Fu Yuheng heard about it, he had sent a few more guards to guard him, so as to not cause any trouble.
If one were to talk about the joyous event in the Imperial City, it would undoubtedly be the Prime Minister Liu!
In fact, everyone knew that he had just restored Liu Chugrong's status, while Prime Minister Liu was overjoyed, after all, his own daughter had been reinstated as the imperial concubine. For a prime minister like him, this was a good thing.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister Liu. Your daughter has been reinstated as an imperial concubine, and is now deeply favored by the Emperor. Now that Prime Minister Liu has gained power, don't forget about us, ah." In the Prime Minister's Residence, a few officials from the imperial court were all smiling. After all, the current Prime Minister Liu was exceptionally powerful, causing all the people from the imperial court to have the intention of making friends with him. Although they wanted to congratulate Liu Xiugrong for regaining his position as the imperial concubine, most of them took this opportunity to express their goodwill towards him.
The Prime Minister Liu was naturally happy, and replied on the surface, "Thank you, ministers. This Prime Minister will not forget everyone's help."
Since the ancient times, it had always been hypocritical and dishonest. But now, it was nothing more than a joke.
And on the other side, three days had passed. General Shen and Ye Feng had already arrived at the city gate, and the two kept a low profile as far as possible along the way, in order to not cause too much trouble.
