”Yes, chenqie was wrong. I must have thought it over carefully.” Lee Anzhu was brought down while crying.

After examining Lee An-zhu, the empress dowager began to think, Lee An-zhu should not have watched the concubine, but Wang Jingzhi's case was true, and the earthquake that happened to the concubine was an instinct for survival. Regarding the murder of the palace maid, this Li An-zhu had never admitted it, and Xuan Ye had also said that she had not personally admitted it, but from the conversation between Rong'er and herself, it sounded like she was admitting it, whereas Lee An-zhu didn't admit it.

However, the empress dowager had still told her that it was not wise to exaggerate the cause and effect of this matter. Xuan Ye understood this logic after hearing it, and after all, Xuan Ye was still the country's first priority. He knew that Rong'er would not be satisfied with the results, so he simply let the empress dowager decide for herself.

In the end, the empress dowager had condemned Li Anzhu for being jealous, scheming, and dishonorable. The empress dowager had once again reprimanded all the empress dowager in the palace. They could not suspect each other, they could not use their schemes to fight each other, and those who violated this rule would definitely be severely punished.

That day, after the empress dowager finished lecturing the people, she left Rong'er behind and looked at him benevolently. ”My wife, this one knows that you are the one who has suffered the most in this matter, because everything that happened to my wife was done to you. You have lost the child in your womb, and your best sister has died as well, but I hope you understand that the nation is in trouble now.

”Yes, Old Ancestor. Chenqie understands.” Actually, she did not necessarily want An Zhu to die, dying was a cruel thing. After all, Zhang Leyao had killed the prince and An Zhu was different. In the end, it was only because of her that she had fallen prey to An Zhu.

”The Wailing Family has taught her many things.” The empress dowager smiled bitterly. ”Actually, lowering her to being an ordinary existence was only to keep her alive. After all, after this matter is over, the emperor won't peng her any more. This is a painful lesson for her. She should return to being righteous.”

”Yes.” Rong'er also nodded. She could understand the empress dowager's difficulties and also understand her words. Without the luxurious life of a concubine in the past, there would be no more of the emperor's pang of love. Li Anzhu had kept her life, but she was afraid that she would no longer be happy living.

She knew that the Emperor had been busy with matters after the earthquake recently, so when Xuan Ye came to see her, he would often give him a smiling face to let him feel at ease. It was just that when there was no one around, he would always feel a little depressed.

”Mistress, I heard that the empress dowager intends to make another concubine in the imperial harem.” Xiaoqing was feeding the medicine to Rong'er, she suddenly said as she thought of it.

”Oh?” Rong'er looked at Xiaoqing. ”How did you know?”

”Heh, I heard …” Xiaoqing smiled. ”After all, the Emperor has decided on six concubines. As for the people of Yonghe Palace, they either destroy everyone in Yonghe Palace or make another concubine. I heard the empress dowager means to make another concubine.”

Rong'er nodded his head, of the seven concubines from back then, only five were left. That's right, the six concubines decided by the emperor were missing a person, I wonder who they would be.

Meanwhile, the empress dowager and Xuan Ye were discussing this matter in the Palace of Tzu Ning.
