Chapter 167 Your Sins
Gu Chaobei looked at Lily, the coldness in his eyes dissipated a little, seeing her slender body trembling slightly, seeing that she was obviously scared, but she had an expression of ready to die, and pursed her lips slightly.

"I know."

Lily breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful. At least her impression in Gu Chaobei's heart was not bad to the end. If they meet again in the next life, if they meet earlier, maybe everything can start again.

She thought so.

The contract was taken away by the emperor, and Fu Guipin's Hehuan Palace was immediately surrounded by guards, and Fu Xueshi also hurried into the palace and stood next to the Empress Dowager Nian to hear the trial.

Concubine Fu Gui didn't know what happened at all, she knelt under the North Palace Hall, and finally changed her expression when she saw Concubine Hua being escorted in with a clean body.

"Fu's Youyi attempted to murder Longzi in vain. The evidence is solid." The Empress Dowager Nian said angrily, "Master Fu, what do you need to explain? This crime of murdering Longzi will punish the three clans!"

Huang Quansan was given by Fu Xueshi, and he also knew what Fu Youyi was going to do.But he didn't expect that his granddaughter was stupid enough to leave such an obvious accusation, which made him want to excuse him and didn't know what to say.

Concubine Fu Gui's face was pale, and she looked at Concubine Hua next to her in disbelief: "You don't want to die?"

The makeup on Lily's face has faded away, and her face is as ordinary as the girl next door, with no sharp lines anymore.

She said: "It is worthwhile to use my life to leave a place in the emperor's heart."

Fu Youyi's eyes darkened. She really didn't know how such a scheming Concubine Hua could turn back into an infatuated woman in an instant.When discussing this matter with her, she was clearly still calculating like that, which made her feel relieved to write this thing down!

Now, she wants to drag her to Huangquan together.

Is she stupid?No, no, it's because Concubine Hua is really good at deceiving people!
"Since there is nothing more to say, then I will decree that Fu Guifei will be executed for murdering the prince, and the Fu family will punish the three clans."

Fu Xueshi was taken aback: "Your Majesty! This... old minister, I don't know this old minister!"

Fu Youyi stared blankly at her grandfather.

"I really don't know anything about what the concubine Fu Gui did in the palace! The old minister has gone through two dynasties in the court, and he has always been loyal. There is no credit but hard work. You can't..."

Gu Chaobei said with a cold face: "The New Deal has something to say, and there will be no mercy for serious crimes."

Fu Xueshi was so frightened that the creases on his brows piled up like a mountain, he was so trembling that he couldn't speak.

After scaring her enough, the Empress Dowager on one side said: "My lord, Fu Guifei deserves to die for his mistakes, but the Fu family doesn't need to be punished."

A ray of light in the darkness, Fu Xueshi quickly looked at the Empress Dowager Nian.

The Empress Dowager Nian held the cup and said with a smile: "Remove all the official positions of the Fu family and expel them from Beijing."

The hopes that had just been shattered again, Fu Xueshi kowtowed again and again: "The empress dowager is merciful, please forgive the old minister..."

"Look, Master Fu is not satisfied with what the queen mother said, so it's better to kill Lian, it's a shame to be expelled from the capital, it's better to preserve the integrity of Master Fu." Gu Chaobei said seriously.

The beard trembled, Fu Xueshi didn't dare to speak.The Empress Dowager Nian said with a smile: "Ai family recites Buddha, the emperor will forgive me once, and decree dismissal."

"My son obeys the order."

While the mother and son were chatting and laughing happily, the most trusted civil servant of the former Empress Dowager Wen fell.

The important literary forces in the court were all resolved by the emperor, and Fu Xueshi was the last big head.Because of the imperial decree, not many people came out to speak. Fu's house was ransacked, and Fu Guifei's three-foot white silk died in the cold palace.

Lily didn't die so quickly, she was sitting in the cold palace, and Gu Chaobei went to see her one last time.

The emperor said, "I'm here to see you off."

Lily's body trembled slightly, with a wry smile on her lips: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Chaobei sat down next to her, just like when he saw her in Zuihuayin many years ago, he smiled mischievously and said, "Play me a tune."

Lily is best at playing the piano, and prefers the pipa to the guzheng.

Gu Chaobei brought a pipa, she happily took it, tuned the strings, and played "Send Home" for him.

The emperor listened to the pipa with his hands on his chin, listening intoxicated.With that gentle look in her eyes, Lily almost felt that he was about to forgive herself.

But at the end of the song, Gu Chaobei said: "I haven't listened to you play this for a long time, and I almost forgot what you were like before."

Looking at him puzzled, Lily said softly: "Isn't it like this before the concubine?"

He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and Gu Chaobei put it in front of her with a smile: "The you in the past couldn't do these things."

There were densely written things on the paper, Lily looked down, her face froze.

"Is there anything wrong with what's written on it?" The emperor asked her with a smile.

When Fu Youyi entered the palace, he had a rift with He Rong. It was Baihe who got close to He Rong and promised her a bright future, so He Rong instigated Qingzhu to put the cockscomb snake in Yan'er's palace.Later, in order to keep peace, Lily ordered Qingzhu to be killed.

Later, in discord with Concubine Xi, in order to get rid of Concubine Concubine Xi's hold, Lily ordered someone to secretly shoot a poisonous needle at Concubine Xi, bribed the new imperial doctor who entered the palace, and caused Concubine Xi to die of witchcraft.

Later, he made so many voodoo dolls by himself, and secretly sent people into the Yonghe Palace in the middle of the night. If he failed to frame Shen Guiyan, he dragged Shen Hanlu into the water.

Jiang Biyue broke through the secret accidentally, and was ordered to be silenced by Baihe, but fortunately, she was saved by the emperor.

In order to provoke Fu Guiyan and Shen Guiyan, she ordered He Rong to push Shen Hanlu to jump into the lake, in an attempt to kill Shen Hanlu, frame Fu Guibin, and cause disputes between Shen Guiyan and Fu Youyi.

The result was unsuccessful, and was smashed by Shen Guiyan.

Everywhere she looked, it was her own sin. If the emperor hadn't told her to stop, Lily really didn't know how long she would have to walk on this bloody road.

The paper didn't write too much detail, but the karma she committed in the harem was basically on it.Lily opened her mouth, wanting to ask how the emperor knew about it, but the question turned into:
"The guilty concubine is so terrible, why does the emperor still have pity in his eyes?"

Shouldn't he hate her, loathe her?
Gu Chaobei said: "You should have left in the first place. It's my fault that I didn't cut off your thoughts. As for the pity in my eyes, you don't have to worry about it. What I see is not you, but the innocent souls behind you."

One sentence made Lily tremble with fright.

Why is this person so cruel?She was thinking of leaving well, swallowing these dirty things without telling him, wouldn't it be good to leave a good impression and leave?Why did he insist on digging out all these things?
Letting her live in a world that praises herself doesn't even close her eyes.

"Do you think I'm too vicious?" Gu Chaobei asked softly.

Lily hugged the pipa, tears streaming down her face, but she still shook her head.

"I am quite vicious, but I also want to give justice to those people." Gu Chaobei said: "Someone taught me, 'As an emperor, you can tell right from wrong'. If you do the right thing, I will remember it, and if you do it wrong , I will not forgive you."

"Only those who are waiting for you under Huang Quan are qualified to forgive you."

Lily thought of Narcissus, her best sister who was killed by her own hands.

Narcissus always speaks inappropriately. She doesn't like her, but she is very cute. When she was in Zuihuayin, when she met any difficult guests, she always came to rescue her.If there is any new style of clothes, she will pull her and rush to pick out the first one.

"You look so pale, are you being bullied by a guest again? Tell me his name, and I'll go to the kitchen and give him laxatives!"

"Lily, why are you always so bored and silent? If there's something you're unhappy about, it's fine to say it to make me happy."

"Little hoof, wait a minute, if you enter the palace, I will go too!"

She used to hate Narcissus for helping outsiders and not helping her, but now looking back, she realized that Narcissus hadn't changed, it was her who had changed, it had become so scary that she didn't want to talk to her anymore.Before leaving, he didn't even look at her again.

"Your Majesty..." With a hoarse voice, Lily said softly, "Are you still missing someone?"

Gu Chaobei nodded: "You have been hiding that eunuch by your side all the time, a very skilled eunuch. I saw him when I rescued Concubine Jiang, but he ran extremely fast. If he stays in the palace again, it will be a disaster."

"His name is Xiaoliuzi." Baihe said, "It turned out to be Huchang's confidant."

Gu Chaobei's expression darkened.

"The guilty concubine knows that the emperor will be angry." Baihe chuckled, but the tears kept falling: "The little six wanted to enter the palace to avenge Vice Commander Hu, and the guilty concubine took advantage of him, so he was always made to be the guilty concubine." Do things. But you must believe that the guilty concubine has absolutely no intention of harming you."

It's just... wanting to use him, otherwise how would she survive in the harem as a woman with no strength and no background?

The emperor got the answer he wanted, got up and left the cold palace without looking back.

"Your Majesty!" Lily panicked, and really wanted to grab his clothes, even if he was asked to stay for a while longer.

But when she stumbled, she fell down with her pipa, and the bright yellow figure didn't stop at all.Instead, the chief eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came in, holding white silk and poisoned wine in his hands.

After tears fell for a long time, Lily chose the latter.

After drinking the poisoned wine, she could continue to play half of the pipa, and chose "Long Xiang Memories", which was Gu Chaobei's favorite song in the past, laughing with tears.

"What a fairy tale, what's your name?"

"Slave Lily."

As soon as the strings were touched a few times, the sound was cut off in this cold palace.The palace road is long and the eaves are majestic. After a few years, no one will remember that there was a Concubine Hua in the palace.

Shen Guiyan stood under the eaves of Yonghe Palace with her stomach in her arms, looked at the somewhat gloomy sky, and let out a long sigh.

"Since ancient times, infatuation has no room for hatred..."

Baoshan stood next to her, counted with his fingers for a long time before saying: "Madam, it seems that there will be almost no one in the palace after Concubine Hua left."
