She Doesn’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

  Chapter 353 Royal Concubine (Part 1)

  Li Ji went into the palace to face the saint, and gave Liu Ze's confession to the emperor for viewing.

  Even though he was mentally prepared for a long time, the emperor could not help feeling angry after seeing the content of the confession with his own eyes.

  He threw the confession on the table and said in a deep voice.

  "As a minister of the great Zhou, I colluded with foreign enemies, and it was a waste of my trust in him!"

  Li Ji asked: "How does your Majesty intend to deal with Liu Ze?"

  The emperor said coldly: "Naturally do what you should do."

  According to the criminal law, all those who collude with the enemy and treason are divided by capital punishment.

The so-called capital punishment is Ling Chi.

  In addition, all the males in the family will be assigned to the border, and they will never return to Beijing.

  A word from the emperor concluded the fate of the entire Liu family.

  Li Ji reminded: "This case involves Concubine Liu Gui."

  The emperor fell silent.

  He believes that he is not bad to Concubine Liu. It can be seen from the fact that she was canonized as a noble concubine. He gave her more honors than other concubines in the harem.

  However, she didn't expect that she could do something to collude with the enemy.

  According to the legal principle, he should directly give the concubine Liu to death, but after all, he was a little bit intolerant of the woman who had been in the same bed for many years.

   Seeing that he couldn't make up his mind, Li Ji was not anxious, but suggested.

  "Before your Majesty decides what to do with Concubine Liu, can you allow Weichen to meet Concubine Liu?

  Weichen has been unable to figure out some things, so I would like to ask Guifei Liu for an answer. "

  The emperor waved his hand: "Go."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After King Zhao left, the emperor looked at the memorial unfolding in front of him, and held the hand of the Zhubi in mid-air for a while, and finally put it down.

  He really didn't want to continue to review the memorial.

  In the eyes of others, he is the supreme emperor, who holds the power of life and death of the world.

  But he is also a living person, he also has seven emotions and six desires, he will be sad and angry for the betrayal of the people around him.

   Seeing this, Zuo Ji knew that the emperor was upset.

  As a person serving the emperor personally, at this time he must find a way to make the emperor happy.

   Zuo Ji's thoughts turned, and soon he remembered the one who lived in Wangyuexuan.

  Probably because the seventh prince was born in the hall of Hanzhang, he was held in front of the emperor as soon as he was born, so the emperor was very close to him.

  Every time I see the Seven Princes, the emperor is happy.

  So Zuo Ji cautiously suggested.

   "If your Majesty is tired, why not go to Hua Jieyu's place to sit? By the way, I can see the Seventh Prince."

  The emperor thought of Bingxue's cute little son, and deeply felt that his son was still the cutest when he was a child. Once he grew up, he would give birth to a lot of messy thoughts.

  He had to get closer to the Seventh Prince while he was still young.

  So the emperor did not hesitate much, so he responded.

   "Then go to Wangyuexuan."

  Zuo Ji immediately asked him to arrange for Long Yin.

  ……

After leaving the Imperial Study Room, Li Ji went straight to Lingxue Hall.

  Now the entire Lingxue Hall has been sealed off, and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace have been sent to the Department of Sentencing, and they have been interrogated one by one.

  There is only one concubine Liu Guifei left in the hall, as well as two grandmothers.

  The flying dragon rider who guarded the gate had already been ordered. When King Zhao was coming, he opened the gate of the palace without saying a word.

  Li Ji raised his foot and stepped over the high threshold.

After the queen was sent to the imperial mausoleum, here is the existence of the entire harem second only to Biquan Palace. Every day, concubines come here to change the way to please Concubine Liu, as well as the chief eunuchs and court ladies everywhere. Here to offer courtesy to Concubine Liu Gui, Lingxue Palace can be described as an infinite scenery.

  But now, the courtyard here is in the cold, and there is no longer the glory of the past.

  The leaves were blown off by the wind and piled up on the road, but no one came to clean them.

  Li Ji’s black silk shoes stepped on the fallen leaves and walked into the hall step by step.

  Two old mothers are sitting on the porch, chatting while sewing.

  When they saw King Zhao coming, they hurriedly put down the sewing basket and got up to show their respect.

   "The slave-maid pays respects to His Royal Highness King Zhao, what brings you here?"

  Li Ji: "My king came to ask Concubine Liu to ask a few words, where is she?"

  The two old mothers hurriedly said: "The imperial concubine and empress are resting in the house, please come with us, Lord."

  With them leading the way, Li Ji met Liu Guifei smoothly.

  Liu Guifei was sitting on her knees in front of the dressing table, combing her long hair with gold wood.

  Today, she deliberately wore a crimson long skirt with a double-breasted skirt. The skirt woven of light gauze was laid out on the ground, layered on top of each other, like smoke like clouds.

  Hearing the door opening, she paused slightly when she combed her hair.

  I don't know what she thought of, she quickly turned around and looked at the door expectantly.

  After seeing the person who walked in, the light in her eyes quickly faded.

  Disappointment is beyond words.

  The two old mothers blessed her.

   "Enlighten the imperial concubine, Zhaowang has come down."

  Liu Guifei frowned and looked at them: "How many times has this palace said that you have to inform before you enter the door. Why do you just not listen? Do you know what the rules are?"

  The two old mothers bent over and apologized to Concubine Liu Gui, but they secretly disdain.

  Obviously, it’s already a grasshopper after autumn. I don’t know if I can jump for a few days, but I’m still here to show off!

  Li Ji waved his hand: "You go out first."

   "Here."

  The two old mothers retreated outside the door.

  The door of the room was open, and the sunlight came in from the outside, making this overly quiet bedroom look a bit more energetic.

  Liu Guifei picked up the comb again and combed her long hair carefully.

  She looked at the Zhaowang standing behind through the glazed glass mirror that could be seen by the light, and asked casually.

   "I heard that King Zhao is very busy recently. Why are you here in this palace?"

  Li Ji answered the wrong question: "Did you just think that the person who came in was a saint?"

  Liu Guifei did not answer, but silently combed her hair into a beautiful bun.

  Her fingertips flicked through the exquisite hair accessories one by one, seeming to choose which hair accessory is most suitable for today's dress.

  For Zhao Wang's words, she just smiled slightly.

   "So what?"

  Li Ji: "The saint will not come."

  Liu Guifei paused with her fingertips, and the smile at the corner of her mouth gradually faded.

  Li Ji cast a glass mirror to look at her, using the calmest tone to speak the cruelest words.

   "Liu Ze has all recruited, and the entire Liu family is finished."

  The older Liu family, not only Liu Guifei’s elder brother, but also her sister, her sister-in-law, and nephews and nieces.

  Li Ji continued: “According to the criminal law, Liu Ze will be imprisoned, the men of the Liu family will be sent to the border, and the female relatives will be used as official prostitutes.”

  Liu Guifei still couldn't hold it back, her eyes were red.

  She turned her face away, her fingers on the dressing table trembling.
