Chapter 115: Promoted to Concubine of Prince Rui
Chapter 115: Promoted to Concubine of Prince Rui
If this is true, it will be a great achievement for the entire Dajing. Not only will it bring huge financial income, but the lives of the people will also be better.
Emperor Jingyuan saw that Chen did not seem to be lying, and that lying would be disadvantageous to him in the current situation, so he believed Chen's words.
So, Emperor Jingyuan looked at Chen, pretended to be calm, sat down, and said, "Then write down the method of making salt later." After he finished speaking, Emperor Jingyuan looked at Hua Changfeng.
Hua Changfeng immediately restored Chen's dislocated arm to its original position. The speed was so fast that Chen didn't even have time to react. He only felt the pain and realized that his arm could move again.
Suddenly, there was a hint of fear in the eyes when he looked at Hua Changfeng, and there was a strong hatred hidden deep in his eyes.
This guy is really scary. He would break arms at any time.
Chen recovered and had to pretend to be grateful and said to the emperor at the top, "Yes, Your Majesty."
She hated Emperor Jingyuan in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.
I could only tell myself, it’s almost time! It’s almost time! Emperor Jingyuan is going to die! This is how I cheer myself up.
"You have committed a heinous crime by plotting to murder the heir to the throne. However, since you have produced these things that benefit the country and the people, you and your family and relatives can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living."
Chen knew that her family would be punished next. She knew that although the emperor would not let her family die, there would definitely be punishment, but she didn't know what it would be. So she could only listen attentively.
Everyone present was very interested in the emperor's decision. After Chen took out these three good things, how would the emperor deal with Chen?
"Chen has committed a heinous crime by plotting to murder the heir to the throne. She will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice for three months from today onwards and demoted to Prince Rui's concubine. Due to her bad behavior, she is no longer fit to teach the emperor's grandson. Therefore, her son Qi Zhao cannot be raised by her, but will be raised by the princess for the time being."
"And Chen's mother's family and all nine clans were exiled from their homes and banished to secluded valleys and forests. They were not allowed to leave without imperial decree. Those who had meritorious service were stripped of their honors, and were not allowed to be employed for life. They were also not allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations."
Hearing this, Chen's eyes widened, unable to believe that the emperor would punish like this. "Your Majesty! No..."
Chen looked at Emperor Jingyuan's cold eyes and shuddered instantly. She lowered her head and dared not speak again.
Why! ?
Why can't she even raise her son by her side?
Also, she knew very well what Yougu Linhai was. In her previous life, all those people whom she disliked were exiled there for various reasons. It was no exaggeration to say that living there was a risk of death.
Yougu Forest is also called Yougu Town, which belongs to Pingchuan Prefecture in the south, but it is some distance away from Pingchuan Prefecture. The place is full of miasma, rarely visited by people, and the environment and climate are complex and changeable. It is not a place for people to stay at all!
This is the largest and worst-off exile place in Dajing. It is a place that everyone is afraid of, and very few people can survive after going there.
Chen was frightened, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.
When his eyes inadvertently saw Qi You, the hatred in his heart instantly emerged again.
Yes! It's all Qi You's fault. If it weren't for him, how could I be like this now? Why would I end up like this? It's all his fault!
And Joe's!
Just wait for her, both mother and son must die! They must die!
Otherwise she will not be reconciled, she will never be reconciled!
Chen appeared calm on the surface, but was already hysterical on the inside.
Qi You was sensitive by nature, and Chen's hostility towards him was so great, how could he not feel it?
However, he didn't care and still sat in his seat obediently and calmly.
But Xiao Yuanzi was not as calm as him. Xiao Yuanzi felt aggrieved for his master, but there was nothing he could do. He could only glare at Chen fiercely, and he didn't dare let the emperor see it. He felt extremely aggrieved.
"As for you who are involved." Emperor Jingyuan sneered.
The palace maids and the eunuch below were already trembling with fear, with fear growing more intense in their eyes. One of the palace maids even peed herself out of fright.
In an instant, the palace maids who had been quiet on the ground began to struggle and moan, but their mouths were stuffed with something, so no one could speak, and they were also tied up and could not move at all.
"All direct relatives will be executed tomorrow. As for other people, if they were involved in this, they will be beheaded and displayed to the public after verification, and their property will be confiscated."
Upon hearing this, most of the palace maids fainted from fright.
Some of them even looked at Chen with vicious eyes, which scared Chen.
Qi You understood that the next thing would be his royal grandfather's "compensation" to him.
The virtuous concubine also straightened her back. She wanted to see how the emperor would compensate You'er. If it was not to her liking and was too much, she would definitely interfere.
After all, Chen was going to kill You'er, but because she took out those things, not only did she not have to die, she didn't even have to be given thirty lashes. Her grandson suffered a great injustice.
The Queen and Xiao Quan also pricked up their ears.
Emperor Jingyuan cleared his throat and couldn't help but look at Qi You again. He saw that he was just as well-behaved and calm as before, without a trace of dissatisfaction with his handling of the matter, which made him feel even more guilty.
The hall fell silent again.
Emperor Jingyuan did not waste any more time and said directly, "Li Jin, draft the decree. Qiao Shi, who follows the rites and classics and whose words are in accordance with the pictures and history books, is noble but not overbearing, humble and glorious. She has educated the emperor's grandson and is benevolent. She is promoted to be the concubine of Prince Rui."
Upon hearing this, the Queen and others present were not surprised, but Chen suddenly raised her head, with a flash of distortion on her face.
Why was Qiao promoted to concubine? Why!
Thinking of the gap between herself and Qiao now, one was a maid and the other was a concubine, Chen was almost driven crazy by hatred and jealousy.
"In addition, regarding the glass industry, Qi You will get 20% of the profits." Originally, Emperor Jingyuan only planned to give Qi You 10% of the profits, but later Chen came up with a method of making refined salt, so Chen did not receive any substantial punishment. This made Qi You, who had already been wronged, even more wronged. So Emperor Jingyuan decided to give 20% of the profits to Qi You directly. When this matter was brought to the court, those ministers would certainly not agree with him giving 20% of the profits to a little kid like Qi You, but what's the use of disagreeing? He was going to give it, who could object!
Everyone present was shocked when they heard this.
The Queen exclaimed, "Your Majesty, please take it back..."
Emperor Jingyuan glanced at her fiercely, and the empress fell silent instantly.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, he has made up his mind!
The queen looked at Qi You with dangerous eyes.
Just because he was afraid that he would be wronged, the emperor gave this huge benefit to this kid so easily! How could she calm down?
His own son, who is the crown prince, doesn't even have it, but this child who is less than five years old has it. It's really ironic!
At this moment, Concubine Xian had to admit that the emperor was truly generous!
