Chapter 406 (1/2)

One day yesterday, Shan Ning shut herself up in her room and let no one disturb her. She stayed alone for a whole day. The imperial concubine was worried. She woke up early and brought breakfast to ask for help.

After knocking on the door several times, no one opened it. The big imperial concubine was worried and worried. She asked someone to open the door. The room was empty, the bed was neat, one side of the window was open, and the room was cold. The big imperial concubine put down her things. She was restless and asked someone to look for it.

After the servant left, she was in a daze. She was thinking whether to go into the palace or not. In the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the corner of the paper under the pillow. She pulled it out and saw that it was a letter.

Four words on the envelope: my wife, please.

The imperial concubine trembled and opened the envelope. It was only a page in total. At the beginning, she expressed her heart. She said that it was a blessing for her husband to marry a wife. Her words were sincere. Although it was touching, the imperial concubine faintly smelled something bad.

Sure enough, it's not in vain for their husband and wife to spend so many years, and the content behind it is soon to see the crying imperial concubine.

The letter said: the Jiang fan case was due to my carelessness. The evidence on that day was conclusive, so I had the intention to settle the case early. So I decided to close the case before it was confirmed. As a result, more than 100 people of the nine families of the Jiang family died miserably. Today, when I think about it, I still feel guilty and uneasy. What's more, people in Tongcheng are suffering because of the lack of in-depth investigation. Jiang Xiang has a chance to take advantage of it, I can't shirk my responsibility for treason. It's too late to think about it. I feel guilty. I'm willing to hand over the seal of military talisman and leave my post to punish myself. I'm willing to sit down in the Buddha's room and recite Buddhist Scriptures for those who died of my negligence. I know it's shameful and abhorrent to abandon my wife and son, but only in this way can I feel at ease.

There are military amulets and official seals under the pillow. There is nothing else.

After reading the whole story, the imperial concubine fell to the ground with her feet soft and her head empty. After a long pause, she did not respond. When the maid came back to find her, she had a reaction. Two lines of tears fell down and cried out.

”How can you have the heart... How can you have the heart to leave us orphans and widows?”

The maidservant picked up the letter and looked at it. She also raised it, ”imperial concubine, your highness... Your Highness has become a monk?”

The great imperial concubine thumped the ground and cried bitterly, ”just don't leave your daughter-in-law. You don't even want your son. Shan Ning, you are so cruel. You know you are selfish. The day before yesterday, you still held me and said never to leave. Today, if you leave a letter, you should say that you have escaped. What are we? If you say no, why don't you? ”

The maid helped the imperial concubine up from the ground. ”Why don't you go into the palace and tell the saint and his wife that your highness hasn't gone far. Now, maybe he can come back.”

The great imperial concubine wiped away her tears, but she didn't care whether her appearance was neat at the moment. She asked someone to prepare the car, take the letter and the military amulet official seal and go to the palace.
