"you!"
"The Emperor has arrived——"
The eunuch singing outside the house startled Concubine De, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
She knelt down and grasped the third prince's shoulders tightly with both hands, her eyes showing fear: "Xuan'er, you save my mother and concubine once, just once. From now on, I will never ignore your feelings again, okay?" good?"
Before the third prince could understand what was happening, he saw his father coming in angrily from the door.
In the middle of the salute, Concubine De was slapped. She flew to the side and hit a stool. The pain caused tinnitus in half of her ears for a moment and she could not hear any sound.
But soon the emperor's thundering and angry voice came: "Concubine De, who harmed the palace people, is unkind to her master, and now she wants to harm the sixth prince. Her crimes are too numerous to describe. From now on, her title will be revoked. After sixty days of being tortured in a violent chamber, she will be demoted to Common people, take them to the Fengxian Palace to atone for your crimes."
So, the emperor has found out that the two children of the empress were killed by Concubine De, right?
Otherwise, why not Xin Zheku? Not a cold palace? Isn’t it a side road that makes everyone change their expressions? It happens to be the Fengxian Hall where the late queen’s spiritual throne is enshrined.
De Fei struggled to open her eyes, no! She didn't want to go to the torture room. There was no light in the torture room, and it was pitch black from morning to night. A normal person wouldn't be able to stand it for three days. If she was detained for sixty days, she would be crazy.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about?"
She knelt down and raised her swollen face: "Your Majesty knows what I am like. Normally, I wouldn't even bear to trample an ant to death. How could I do such crazy things? Someone must have framed me. Concubine, please ask your Majesty to investigate clearly and return my innocence to my concubine."
"Before she died, the Queen gave me something. Ning Feixiu and Concubine De have not forgotten it, right?"
Concubine De's eyebrows twitched fiercely, how could she forget?
Ning Feixiu was the third prince's former personal maid, and one of the people she trusted the most. It can be said that even the status of Luyin City was not as good as Ning Feixiu, otherwise the important task of taking care of the third prince would not have fallen to her. superior.
But that time, in order to frame Jiang Xinyue, it was exposed instead. In order to cover up the truth, Ning Feixiu was killed by Concubine De, and her body was found in the Queen's palace, which led everyone to believe that the Queen poisoned the third prince.
"you you……"
Concubine De pointed at Jiang Xinyue and said nothing for a long time.
Not to mention Concubine De, even the emperor who came with her was in shock. Before the queen died... did she give something to Yue'er?
Why had he never heard of it?
"emperor!"
Jiang Xinyue raised her hand to the emperor, put it in front of her forehead, knelt down directly, and said in a sonorous tone: "I want to sue Concubine De and Duke Chengguo. Their father and daughter were the ones who killed the first prince and the second prince. The culprit was that the Empress gave Ning Feixiu's blood letter to her concubine before she left. She got the blood letter and was worried about the safety of the sixth prince every day. However, she was also afraid that if the blood letter was published, it would cause chaos in the former harem. There is turmoil, so I have been hesitating.”
She took the blood book from the magpie's hand and held it above her head: "Your Majesty, I have just understood today that it is impossible for a person with a vicious nature to make changes. For the safety of the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince, I, my concubine, I have no choice but to reveal her true identity, and I just hope that no more princes will die unexpectedly in the emperor's harem."
On the blood book, it was recorded in detail how Concubine De bribed the people around the prince and the second prince, defrauded their trust, and then pushed them step by step into the abyss of death.
Not only that, in those years the concubines in the palace kept having miscarriages, and the children they gave birth to would always die after only three or five days. This was all the work of Concubine De.
Emperor Xuanwu glanced at ten lines, pinched the blood book very hard with his fingers, and his uncontrollable anger struck his heart. He gasped, pinched Concubine De's neck, and lifted her up from the ground.
No matter how much she cursed, it turned into the force of her hands, pinching her until her whole face turned purple, her feet lifted off the ground, and she kept thrashing.
"Father! Father! Father..."
The third prince finally recovered from his daze, rushed to the emperor's feet, knelt down, and grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Father, it's all my son's fault, it's all my son's fault. If my son hadn't been born, The mother and concubine will not make the same mistake again and again. I beg the emperor... I beg the father to spare the life of the mother and concubine. I am willing to go to Fengxian Hall. From now on, I will eat fast and chant Buddha, and serve the queen in Fengxian Hall. I will go to her to forgive her sins and ask my father to spare her life."
His head felt like it was made of iron, and he banged his head on the ground until his head was bruised and bloody.
Concubine De's throat was filled with "prominent" sounds, and she almost felt like fainting.
"Bang!"
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Concubine De was thrown out. Her body hit the table and then fell to the ground. She lay on the ground retching.
The third prince was still kowtowing: "Thank you, the emperor, thank you, the imperial concubine, thank you, the emperor, thank you, the imperial concubine..."
"You figured it out."
Emperor Xuanwu's face was condensed: "If you choose to exhaust the affection between father and son today, from now on, I will no longer treat you as my child. Just guard this poisonous woman and stop dreaming about those who will never die." Something that will be yours.”
Tears fell from the corners of the third prince's eyes: "My father has Empress Zhen, and my fourth and sixth brothers. My father has many choices. She has nothing but my mother and concubine. She only has children. Father... my children never thought I have never been a prince or an emperor. I just want to be an idler in peace and quiet, so I ask my father... to make it happen."
He is eight years old and is no longer the ignorant child of two years ago. He knows what he is giving up with his words today.
But……
If staying away from the disputes in the palace can make the mother-in-law give up her obsession and just be his mother with peace of mind, then giving up all this will be worth it.
But if Concubine De was just allowed to guard the Fengxian Palace, why would Jiang Xinyue take out the blood book?
Wild fire, in spring.
How can we live peacefully if the evil is not eliminated?
"The third prince has been studying at the prince's school for some time. Have you ever learned that a prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people? Concubine De is not only the real culprit behind the eighteen lives in the palace, she also killed the first prince and the second prince. The prince, as well as most of the pregnant concubines in the palace, were separated from their children by her. You plead for her, you forgive her, but what about those who were killed by her? They have a chance to beg for mercy. ?"
"If everyone kills so many people without having to pay with their lives, will the entire harem be in chaos?"
Just kill whoever you don't like, and you don't have to pay for it anyway.
Concubine Wen, Concubine Yu and Guiren Ye had already listened to Jiang Xinyue's words and brought to Yanqing Palace those concubines who had experienced miscarriage or childbirth.
When they heard the third prince begging for mercy for his mother, they all knelt at the door and cried.
