Empress Fenghua

Chapter 296 The Death of Jing Shu
The scenery in the imperial garden was just right, Bai Qiang and Wan Rong met unexpectedly, a smile appeared on the corner of Wan Rong's mouth, and the two walked side by side.The wind blew across the pond, creating waves of light. Wanrong sat on the stone bench and enjoyed the scenery.

Bai Qiang raised the corner of her mouth, "I didn't expect that although this battle was not beautiful enough, it also eliminated many powerful enemies. Madam also gained a lot!"

"I am not the only one who received the goods, but I have never tried to use the emperor's heir to get rid of others!" Wanrong smiled slightly, "In the final analysis, it was Bai Xiuyuan's clever tactics, who unknowingly got rid of Madam Yu, the confinement She killed Mrs. Chun and killed Wang Xiuyuan's child with Zhuo Chongrong's hand. The palace is like a bonsai, which was properly pruned by Bai Xiuyuan. Who said that history will not repeat itself? Bai Wei's child died at the hands of Wang, The death of Wang's child today at the hands of you, Bai Qiang, must be considered retribution!"

"Madam Wan's absurd praise. In fact, according to Madam Wan's thinking, Madam Yu and Madam Chun should not be left alone, but they still failed to pull Madam Chun down. It's a pity!" Bai Qiang smiled, "But it's okay Mrs. Chun's status has plummeted, and from now on, Mrs. Chun will be the only one in the family!"

Wanrong sneered, "Maybe Bai Xiuyuan is thinking too much, but I never thought of trying to dominate in the back court! All this belongs to the emperor, and I only plan for the emperor, there is nothing else!"

Wanrong raised her lips, "The Lai clan is not so easy to overthrow. As long as Lai Jingshu is still alive, Lai Hongen will find a way to get her out of the dungeon. By then, Bai Xiuyuan will be in vain!"

"Could it be that in the eyes of Mrs. Wan, the concubine is such a careless person?" Bai Qiang smiled triumphantly, "Entering the heavenly prison, fate is unpredictable!"

In the prison, Mrs. Yu, no, it should be Lai Jingshu.Lai Jingshu leaned against the cold wall with her hair disheveled, surrounded by hay. Although she wasn't dirty, she was always a little downcast.A ray of light shines through the small window on Lai Jingshu's fair skin, and this is what Wanrong saw when she walked in.

"Open them, I want to have a good talk with Lai Shi!" Wan Rong looked indifferent.

Lai Jingshu turned her head to see Wanrong, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she also felt that it was inevitable, "You are finally here, I thought it would be that bitch Bai Qiang or that humble famous actress Zhao Yu!"

Wanrong sighed, "To this day, you are still proud of your parentage. Haven't you thought that what you are proud of is the reason for your failure? The glory of the powerful clan can no longer protect your life! "

Lai Jingshu stood up, raised her head proudly and looked at Wanrong, "In this harem, apart from my family background of Lai Jingshu, you and Zhaoyu, who can compare to me? It is only natural that I am ranked as the fourth concubine. , if there is no emperor's favor, do you think Zhao Yu might become a pure wife? I have the support of a powerful clan behind me, what do you have? Of course a queen of a country needs a family background. If Ning Hua hadn't been alive again, maybe I would have become a queen .”

"You still have such a beautiful dream!" Wanrong couldn't help laughing mockingly, "As long as Ning Huazhong is still alive, we are lucky to be able to survive in the harem. I never wanted to compete with her, because I knew I couldn't compete with her." She! Come to Jingshu, in fact, I don't hate you, I just hate you. But when Empress Ning told me that you were the one who hurt Meiren Zhao, I felt that I couldn't bear it any longer!"

"What kind of friendship do you have with Zhao Meiren?" Lai Jingshu snorted coldly, "What kind of sister are you pretending to be here!"

Wan Rong nodded, "That's right, Zhao Meiren and I are indeed not very good, but we all came from the Prince's Mansion after all. No matter how rude she is, she will not have the intention of harming others! And you, who How can you guarantee it?"

Wanrong sighed, "I still remember that when you first entered the palace, you were named one of the four concubines in one fell swoop. You were young, beautiful, domineering, and far more attractive to the emperor than your gentleness. I did envy you, but But you are getting worse and worse, compared to Mrs. Chun's cunning and cunning, you seem so stupid, I am really disappointed!"

Wanrong grabbed Lai Jingshu's head, "I was still surprised when I first came in. It turns out that you are as clear and pure as ever. Lai Jingshu, this palace has changed you too much, and you are too Don't blame me, blame you for trusting Bai Qiang so easily! But I should also be thankful that I didn't participate in Bai Qiang's plan!"

"I knew it was Bai Qiang! I knew it was her!" Lai Jingshu shed two lines of tears, "And that lowly servant girl Qifu! She betrayed me!"

Wan Rong sneered and shook her head, "It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that the emperor wants to get rid of you! If the emperor wants to protect you, why doesn't he put you in limbo instead of prison? Haven't you thought about it? "

Lai Jingshu looked at Wanrong in horror, "What do you mean?"

"Lai Jingshu, the emperor doesn't want you, because you belong to the Lai family. The emperor has been overwhelmed by the empress dowager Zhuo's relatives. How can he let the Lai family dominate after learning the lesson? Your previous pregnancies were innocent and miscarried, you Do you think it was really Ben Gong and Mrs. Chun who harmed you?" Wanrong laughed mockingly, "You think the emperor likes you, dotes on you, and you come from a family, so why did you only confer Mrs. Yu? Zhao Yu is a famous actress. A woman from a family background conferred on Mrs. Chun?"

Lai Jingshu looked at Wanrong suspiciously, and said forcefully, "That's because the emperor said that I am as beautiful as jade..."

"Beautiful as jade?" Wanrong laughed loudly, "You really believe it! Let me tell you that the emperor didn't want to make you his wife at all. It was because of your father's coercion from Hong En that the emperor had no choice but to make you the jade lady who is the lowest of the four concubines! The reason for conferring on Zhaoyu is because she wants to use her to restrain you, you don't have the emperor's love at all."

Lai Jingshu sat paralyzed on the ground with empty eyes, "Impossible! Impossible!"

Wanrong calmed down the anger in her heart, turned and left, and told the jailer, "Take good care of Mrs. Yu!"

"Yes!"

Chunzhu glanced at Wanrong, "Ma'am, I don't understand!"

"Do you not understand why Bengong came to see her?" Wanrong raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Actually, people think that Bengong is here to add insult to injury and watch her joke, but in fact, Bengong is here to mourn her. If there is no matter about Meiren Zhao, maybe This palace will not treat her like this, after all, she is a pitiful person!" Wanrong looked up at the sky and sighed, "Lai Jingshu is just a pawn sacrificed by this harem, and the darkness of the powerful clan is shrouded by her A weak woman bears the burden, who can say that she is wrong?"

"But if Mrs. Lai had no intention of hurting Wang Xiuyuan, she wouldn't be framed!" Chunzhu frowned, "My servant, looking at Meiren Zhao, feels that she deserves to die!"

Wanrong raised her lips, "Although that's the case, who can guarantee that Wang Xiuyuan's child will not have a miscarriage?"

Chunzhu nodded, "Ma'am is right!"

"Chunzhu, remember, the Lai family did murder the emperor's heir, not others!" Wanrong walked forward, "Sometimes, to achieve a good thing, you have to sacrifice something!"

Wang De frowned and walked into Changding Palace with a melancholy expression, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Lai committed suicide in the prison!"

The pen in Xiliang Wuyan's hand paused, and he let out a long sigh, "Move to the prison!"

Lai Jingshu stared blankly at the sunlight outside the window as if she was alive, but her eyes would no longer squint because of the sunlight, like the brightest crystal in the world.His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and there was a blood-red mark between his wrists. The bright red blood had dried up.

"When I came in, I saw Mrs. Yu like this. Mrs. Yu cut off her wrist with a piece of rice bowl..." The jailer knelt on the ground trembling.

Wang De waved his hand, "Go down!"

Xiliang frowned silently, and there was a trace of pity in the phoenix's eyes, and he stroked Jing Shu's open eyes.Lai Jingshu still kept her eyes open, with a silent expression on her face.Xiliang Wuyan's heart trembled, did he hate himself?

Xiliang Wuyan sighed for a long time, "Jing Shu, don't blame me, I have indulged you too much in the past few years!" He closed his eyes, but a tear ran down his cheek.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with Lai's body?" Wang De frowned and asked.

Xiliang Wuyan was slightly taken aback, thinking for a moment, "My tomb has never reserved their place, even innocent concubines will not be able to enter the imperial mausoleum in the future. Lai is already a sinful woman, so we will deal with it according to the rules." Bar!"

Wang De glanced at Lai Jingshu, and sighed impatiently, yes, except for Empress Ning, why did the emperor reserve a place for anyone?

Wang De bowed his body, "Old slave complies!"
