Chapter 714: Heavenly Prison
The emperor listened, and his heart was heartbroken under anger.
His good son, his good son......
As Gongsun Mu trembled and explained all the things that had been slightly rectified, Xiao Yi's gray and blue face, cheekbones spasmed and trembled, and his whole body was no longer able to kneel upright, he collapsed to the ground like a gossamer, his chapped lips were slightly open, and his eyes were motionless, like a goldfish dying due to lack of water, his eyes were full of despair.
Originally, Gongsun Mu was his retreat.
“…… The letter played by the minister was a letter forged by the three highnesses...... What the minister knows, the minister has said, as for what the three highnesses did all this, it was because of collusion with the people of Liaodong, the minister really didn't know, if the minister knew, there was also a matter of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the minister would not submit to death. ”
"Your Majesty remembers that the old minister is loyal and does a lifetime for the court, and spares the old minister's life. Gongsun Mu said, and kowtowed.
Gu Yuqing looked coldly at Gongsun Mu, who was on the verge of death and begging for mercy, and looked at Xiao Yi, who was so desperate and frightened that he couldn't breathe, and his heart sighed.
Collaborating with the enemy and treason, his crime should be punished, even if he is just an accomplice who is threatened, the emperor may not want Wang Daosheng's life, but Gongsun Mu, the emperor will definitely not spare it, not to mention anything else, just for a murderer and monkey, purge the dynasty, and wait for the hussar general's mansion to be beheaded.
Xiao Yi...... Even though all the facts prove that he is the real mastermind, one is that he has the identity of the prince, and the other is that he has the power of the queen and the British government, and Gu Yuqing cannot be sure of his capital crime.
If you want to completely kill Xiao Yi, you must completely kill the queen and the British government.
Just thinking about it, after hearing everything that Gongsun Mu had recruited, the emperor was furious, gritted his teeth and said: "Rebel, so far, what else do you have to say, my face has been lost by you......!" I don't have a son like you!, come here, put this thing that I don't know what the king's law is, and put it in prison!"
Heaven prison, but not death prison, sure enough!
Gu Yuqing's hand holding the silk handkerchief was slightly forced, and the ripples flashed in her eyes......
It is said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but it turns out that where can he really be guilty of the same crime!
The prince is the prince!
The emperor's words fell, and immediately a chamberlain stepped forward to drag Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, who had been slumped to the ground like a dead dog, and as the chamberlain pulled his sleeves, suddenly, as if returning to the light, he came to his senses, shook off the two attendants on the left and right, jumped up, and looked straight at the emperor.
"Father, why at the beginning, when all the evidence pointed to Gu Zhen and Xiao Yu, you hesitated and considered everything, but you refused to give instructions. Now, if you are a retainer, you don't even think about it, and you want to put your retainer in prison?"
An aggressive voice of questioning burst out of his mouth, filled with indignation.
"The son is also the child of the father, why is the father so partial! Xiao Yu is the prince, isn't the son of the son? Why, Xiao Yu has repeatedly made mistakes, and the father and the emperor are just angry and scolded, and they are reluctant to beat him, and the son of the minister is sent to the prison if he commits a crime!"
If the father is to the son, is it because Hui Guifei must be jealous that the son killed her niece, so she gave the son eye medicine in front of the father, so that the father would rather believe in these messy things than believe that the son was wronged. ”
Xiao Yi straightened his back and stiffened his neck, and said almost like a roar, tears were pouring down his eyes, but they were silent.
When the emperor listened, he became more and more annoyed, "Bastard, I have committed a heinous crime, I don't know how to repent, and I still have to climb others!" pointed at Xiao Yi's nose and scolded, his angry fingers trembled.
Xiao Yi sneered, "Erchen is innocent, Erchen has not done it, they all colluded to frame Erchen." Father Emperor dare to say that after the incident of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Concubine Hui Guifei didn't say anything to her son in front of her father?"
"Today, it is clear that Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing colluded to frame their sons, and their sons were incompetent, and they were poisoned but they were powerless to fight back, but my father thought about it, what Concubine Hui said to you was not a heart-wrenching word, if it wasn't for what she said in advance, why would my father be so distrustful of my son!"
Xiao Yi decided that after the incident of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Concubine Hui must have said something in front of the emperor, taking advantage of the emperor's suspicious fault, grasping this point and constantly magnifying it.
He thought that he had caught a life-saving straw on the edge of a desperate cliff, but he didn't know that the root of this straw had already been cut off by Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yi's words fell, and the emperor trembled his angry black lips, clenched his fists with hatred, gritted his teeth, and said: "Since the third young lady of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was poisoned by you, Concubine Hui Guifei has been sick and can't afford to be sick, I haven't even seen her face, how can I talk about punishing my heart!
After that, the emperor raised his hand and waved, never wanting to see Xiao Yi again, "Pull it down!"
Xiao Yiden was stunned, Concubine Hui was lingering on the sickbed? After she learned that she had poisoned Dong Xueruo, she didn't cry in front of her father and beg for justice?
How is it possible, Dong Xueruo is her niece!
When he lost his mind, his body had been lifted up by the two attendants left and right, and he was dragged outward.
After Xiao Yi's angry voice was blocked by the door of the imperial study, the emperor lowered his gaze like a red flame to Gongsun Mu, "Go to death row, seal the mansion, and ask for the beheading at noon tomorrow!"
A few words, simply and neatly out of the mouth.
Gongsun Muzheng was still thinking in his heart, Xiao Yi could temporarily escape to death and be released from prison, he was just an accomplice, and he confessed everything, so how could he be punished lightly......
Suddenly heard the low anger of the emperor above his head, he couldn't help but tremble, sat down on the ground, and looked at the emperor in amazement.
Greeting Gongsun Mu's shocked expression, the emperor smiled coldly, "What? You committed this heinous crime, is it just because you confessed, I want to save you from death? Then all murderers, as long as they confess afterwards, don't pay for their lives!"
Gongsun Mu was full of disbelief, at the moment of life and death, he didn't care about the dignity of the monarch and the minister, and couldn't help but ask, "What about the three highnesses? He is the mastermind, he not only instigated the ministers and Wang Daosheng to conspire against Gu Zhen, but also collaborated with the enemy, and in terms of crime, he is much more serious than the minister's crime, why is he just retaining the heavenly prison! The minister wants to be beheaded all over the house!"
When Gu Yuqing heard this, she couldn't help but look at the emperor.
In fact, everyone has a rough explanation for this kind of question, but when she asks it like this, she is curious about how the emperor will answer this question!
Gongsun Mu's words fell, the emperor sat down on his knees, supported the armrests with his elbows, leaned forward with half of his body, leaned forward slightly, the cold luster under his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth pouted with a complicated smile.
"Because his father is me, your father, not the emperor!"
