"Your Majesty..."
"I don't dare to do that anymore. For the sake of the Queen Mother and my aunt, Your Majesty..."
Concubine Zhou pretended to cry before, but now she really cried. She was really scared. The imperial mausoleum was a desolate place. Only concubines who had committed serious crimes would be sent there. They said it was to accompany the ancestors, but in fact He was abandoned and left there, ending his life.
Zhou's concubine begged with tears, but could not get King Zhao to change his mind.
King Zhao said: "When you go there, you can calm down and stop having these messy thoughts. If the house is divided in the future, I will ask Minghui to take you back. If you are restless, then stay there with me." Queen Mother."
No matter what she did before, King Zhao tolerated her for the sake of Queen Mother Zhou, but now that she dared to attack Murong Ning, King Zhao would not tolerate her.
She is pregnant in ten months, and the baby will grow in the future. If Concubine Zhou has another intention and attacks the child, it will be too late to regret it.
If something really happened, his son would hate him for the rest of his life.
Between a woman who was forced into him and whom he had endured for twenty years, and a son and heir whom he personally taught and taught to his satisfaction, all fools knew that he should choose the latter.
King Zhao ordered: "Come here, pack the concubine's things, and we will send the concubine to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow."
Concubine Zhou's eyes turned red instantly. She crawled over and grabbed the hem of Prince Zhao's clothes: "Your Majesty! I know that I was wrong. I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg you to spare me this time. I'm sorry." , concubine..."
"I will definitely stay safe and respect myself from now on. I will respect the princess and take good care of the younger ones in the house!"
"Please forgive me this time. I was also blinded by lard for a while, and that's why I did such a thing!"
"Your Majesty, we have been blessed for one night and a hundred days. We still have Minghui. You can't bear to treat me like this..."
King Zhao slapped her hand away and said calmly: "If you keep your peace, I will not touch you, and the people in the palace will respect you as my concubine. You have a son, and Minghui is also my biological son." , I will definitely make good arrangements for his affairs in the future, and if he will be filial to you in the future, life will not be bad."
"But you absolutely shouldn't, you shouldn't take action against the boss's wife. After all these years, you should also know what I can't tolerate the most."
The most inappropriate thing is to attack the elderly, pregnant women and young children. Concubine Zhou violated his taboo.
Concubine Zhou felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she heard this. She remained motionless. She collapsed on the ground, not knowing where she was for a moment.
She just felt like her mind was blank.
It’s over, it’s over!
King Zhao looked at her like this and said calmly: "Have a good rest. I will send someone to take you to the imperial mausoleum tomorrow morning."
After King Zhao said these words, he turned and left. Concubine Zhou wanted to catch up but was stopped by the guards. Then she watched King Zhao walk out of the courtyard, and the door slowly closed.
A big door seems to separate two worlds.
Concubine Zhou felt that the sky was falling. She ran over and knocked on the door hard: "Your Majesty - Your Majesty -"
"Open the door - open the door -"
"Your Majesty, open the door——"
The door is locked from the outside. No matter how hard you pull the door from the inside, it cannot be opened.
Concubine Zhou cried in despair. Thinking of the glory she had been waiting for all these years, she felt heartbroken.
The next day, Prince Zhao's Mansion sent someone to send Zhou's concubine to the imperial mausoleum.
The affairs of Prince Zhao's Mansion were kept secret by themselves, and they were the few who knew the inside story. However, those who knew did not dare to publicize what Concubine Zhou had done because of the face of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Therefore, people outside knew that Concubine Zhou had gone to the imperial mausoleum to chant sutras for the Queen Mother, and the world still called her filial, but they didn't know that Concubine Zhou had suffered so much that she had become a Huanglian.
The matter of Concubine Zhou only made some splash. Many people's eyes were still on the East Palace, wondering what the emperor was thinking and when the prince would come out.
Many people speculated whether the emperor was dissatisfied with the prince and wanted to abolish the prince, and some people even turned to King Sui's side.
Half a month later, Qingfeng Villa and nearby courtyards were under construction. The prince handed in a confession every three days to the East Palace. After reading it, the emperor still felt dissatisfied and asked him to continue to reflect.
King Sui found out about Li Lin. He only knew that his mother was from Shiqiao Village in Guiyan City, and his father's surname was Li. The specific name was unknown. He was a wanderer who loved traveling far away. It was said that he was very knowledgeable and well-informed. Call him Mr. Li.
When Mr. Li returned to Yancheng, he met a girl named Shi. He fell in love with her at first sight and soon got married. A few years later, he gave birth to a son, Li Lin. Li Lin was three years old. Mr. Li took his wife and children away, saying he was going back to his hometown. .
When the Li family reappeared seven years later, Mr. Li's wife passed away and said she wanted to return to her hometown for burial. Mr. Li and his son carried the coffin back to Shiqiao Village and buried Mrs. Li. Leave again.
Li Lin appeared in Shiqiao Village two years ago. He came back to pay homage to his mother, and then lived in Shiqiao Village. He even studied in the academy in Guiyan City and participated in the imperial examination.
It seems that everything is traceable. If there is something unclear, it is probably the identity of Mr. Li, his specific name, where he comes from, and where his hometown is.
King Sui looked at it. Although he felt a little suspicious, he had no time to delve into the matter at the moment.
Because the evidence he had been waiting for half a month was finally delivered to the Imperial City.
After King Sui got these evidences, he summoned several of his trusted staff to discuss the matter.
If the prince commits such a mistake, the crown prince's position will be in danger at worst, and the people's support will be lost and the foundation will be shaken at worst, and he will never be able to compete with King Sui again in the future.
A group of people discussed for a long time, and they all looked excited, as if they had seen the light of victory. If King Sui ascended the throne in the future, these people would be the emperor's confidants, and they might be the next Duke Jinning.
After a long discussion, King Sui finally spoke: "I will leave this matter to Marquis Pingbai."
Ping Baihou heard this and immediately stood up: "My subordinates will never let down the prince's trust."
King Sui said: "Chen Qi has also been handed over to you. If anything happens to him, I will only ask you."
"yes."
Chen Qi was brought back from Qingzhou by King Sui's people. He was the son of the former Yin of Qingzhou.
Chen Fuyin was a good official. When he discovered what the prince was doing in Qingzhou, he thought of reporting it to the court. However, the prince had already sent people to keep an eye on him. When he learned of his actions, he sent people to kill him and let him go. The fire burned the Chen family to death.
Chen Fuyin's only son Chen Qi escaped and has been dormant in the dark.
Knowing that someone was investigating the prince's affairs, he stared in the dark for a long time. When he learned that the person coming was from King Sui, he stood up and wanted to avenge his father. Give him the evidence.
With Chen Qi here, the prince is doomed!
