After such an incident, Emperor Xuanwu could no longer go to the Queen's Palace. Concubine Xian was frightened. He had to accompany Concubine Xian in Hexi Palace.
As is human nature, the queen had to show reasonableness and "happily" gave in to the emperor.
"Empress..."
Fenxun approached: "Tell me, who wants to put the Concubine Xian and the Sixth Prince to death?"
The queen shook her head: "She deserves to be favored by Shengsheng, and she should bear all this. It depends on whether the emperor has the heart to protect her. There are no secrets in this palace to the emperor."
So for all these years, she had allowed Li Guiji to provoke her, but she had never been cruel to her.
Coming and going in the palace, concubines like flowers and jade came and went one after another. Each of them had been favored by the emperor and then forgotten by the emperor.
No one can say whether today's Concubine Xian will be the next Concubine Li.
She is a queen, she can ignore anyone.
No one...no one was worthy of her taking matters into her own hands.
Hanging Mirror Division——
In the dim torture room, various torture instruments were hung on the uneven walls. Some of the old torture instruments were stained with bright red rust because they had been used too many times.
There was no one else in the empty execution room. There was only a bloodstained palace maid tied to the human-shaped wooden stake. She was the palace maid captured by Jiang Xinyue.
She had been beaten so badly that she couldn't focus her eyes. She vaguely seemed to see a figure sitting in front of her.
The little palace maid tried her best to open her eyes wide, and a piece of bright yellow clothes came into view: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
The bright and dim light and shadow shone in from the high window. The light shone on his face and on his body. The person lazily leaning on the huge Taishi chair was the expressionless Emperor Xuanwu.
"Bring it up!"
The man's handsome face was full of indifference, and he didn't say a word of nonsense. He just waved his hand, and the guards of the Xuanjing Division came forward with a few people with frightened expressions.
"Ying'er!"
When the leading middle-aged man saw the dying little palace maid, his first reaction was not to care. Instead, he rushed forward and slapped her in the face: "You lose money, what did you do? Why were we suddenly arrested? Come into the palace? My family doesn’t expect you to let us live a good life, so don’t bother us! You lose money, what did you do? "
The peasant woman was holding a little boy by the hand, her expression a little numb, as if she was used to this kind of thing.
"Ah!"
The little palace maid spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at the man with disgust: "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Why are you talking to me? I'm..."
"Someone, take them down."
The guards came forward, preparing to escort them away. Emperor Xuanwu raised his lips slightly and said, "The woman stays."
Now the little palace maid's expression was obviously moved, and her hidden hand started to struggle.
"Tell me, who asked you to sprinkle white phosphorus powder on Cheng's clothes?"
The little palace maid showed surprise in her eyes.
The emperor was talking about phosphorus powder and did not ask about cotton wool.
illustrate……
He knew that she was just the one who spread the phosphorus powder and put the cotton wool, but there was someone else.
The peasant woman was choked by the guards. The little palace maid closed her eyes and opened them again: "If this slave has told me, can the emperor ensure that my mother leaves safely?"
"As long as you write a confession, I will keep her safe."
The little palace maid's eyes flickered: "Concubine De has promised me that as long as I complete this task, I will help me kill my father."
She was sold to this couple by a human trafficker. She was beaten and bullied by that beast since she was a child. When she grew older, the beast set his sights on her body again. After ruining her, he sold her into the palace for three taels of silver. slave.
Growing up, the only person who was kind to her was her adoptive mother.
But the adoptive mother was also a poor person. She was raped by this beast when she was a girl. The adoptive mother's family felt that the family shame should not be publicized, so they forced the adoptive mother to marry him.
As a result, after getting married, the adoptive mother was beaten for three days and two.
In the past, her adoptive mother was a graceful and beautiful woman. Every time she was beaten, her adoptive mother would try her best to save her.
But on the night when she was insulted, when her adoptive mother rescued her, she was beaten into a fool by that beast.
She would never smile gently to herself again.
"I will tell you one last time and tell you who is behind the scenes, otherwise I will kill you and your adoptive mother, and grant your adoptive father and two younger brothers gold, silver, treasures, and beautiful wives and concubines, so that he will live happily for the rest of his life. luxurious."
The person behind the scenes cannot be Concubine De. She has been pretending to be Buddhist for more than ten years. How could she fail at this critical moment?
If she had done this, it would have been impossible to leave so many flaws, and Xu Ying'er would never be alive now.
Therefore, people who are not ruthless enough will not be able to make a big impact.
The person behind the scenes wanted to kill the Sixth Prince and Jiang Xinyue, but showed mercy to Xu Ying'er, which was the biggest failure.
"No!"
What Xu Ying'er fears most in her life is that that beast has a good life.
Tears finally came out of her eyes, and after a moment she suddenly smiled coldly: "They say that the emperor is ruthless. When I saw the emperor's love and doting on the virtuous concubine, I thought this was the world's misunderstanding of the emperor's family. Now I understand. , it turns out that everything in the harem is in the hands of the emperor. No wonder the empress was bullied so hard, and she was unwilling to do something harmful to the world, because as long as she moved, the emperor would know everything she did. Your Majesty With hands and eyes that reach the sky, don’t you know that the virtuous concubine is also not a good woman?”
The emperor had already guessed who was behind her, and was waiting for her to write it down, which would later become evidence to threaten his empress.
Xu Yinger is unwilling to give in!
The adoptive mother was the first person to treat her well, and the empress was the second person to treat her as a human being...
If she had to betray her mother-in-law to save her adoptive mother, she would sacrifice her own life to explain it to her mother-in-law.
Before that, she had to help the empress get rid of Concubine Xian, her biggest rival.
"Whether she is a good person or not, what does it have to do with you trying to harm her?"
Emperor Xuanwu laughed again: "You all know in your heart that in this palace, all the people with the heart of the Holy Mother died miserably. Concubine Xian is smart, brave, and decisive in killing. I like her very much. So she likes to act, so I will accompany her in the act. . Those of you who are short-sighted must provoke her, and you may not be able to withstand her revenge. Even if the person who harmed her is the queen, when she develops and grows under my wings, the queen will become her sword. The souls of the dead."
Xu Ying'er laughed loudly. The emperor was finished. He actually knew from the beginning that Concubine Xian was ambitious and that Concubine Xian was good at singing and singing.
But not only did he tolerate it, he also pretended not to know anything and acted with Concubine Xian.
He himself has long been unable to tell whether he is using Concubine Zhenxian more or loving her more!
Poor Queen Empress...
She couldn't help.
