Chapter 82: Suicide to save your reputation
The words of the horn made the empress couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, it is rumored that this chef in addition to excellent cooking skills, but also likes to whole people, and he will repay it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This matter has not been dealt with yet, and Xi Heng naturally can't pretend to be dead at a critical moment.
The empress's rare willfulness once relied on Jiaoyi's statement to bring a basin of cold water and splash it directly on Xi Heng's face.
Xi Heng, who woke up after a while, was soaked, and it took him a moment to react to the current situation, he quickly knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, please believe the minister, the minister is not lying. He raised his head, his water-soaked eyes glared at Yu Yi, and a ruthless look quickly crossed his face, "Yu Yi and Aunt Ah Zi ......"
"Smack-" Before Xi Heng finished speaking, the empress's angry and loud slap had already fallen, and Xi Heng's white face immediately fell with clear palm prints, swollen to the height, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Xi Heng sat on the ground in disbelief, stroking the half of the cheek that had been beaten by the empress with one hand. In a trance, I remembered when I first entered the palace.
Xi Heng was the first batch of male concubines to enter the palace, and it was also the only time that the empress personally participated in the selection of concubines.
He will never forget that the poppy beauty outside the Gyeongbok Hall is very beautiful, just like the woman sitting on top of His Majesty in the palace, her whole body is exuding a cold and noble imperial temperament, that kind of temperament is like an addictive poison for a man, once it is contaminated, it will be doomed, and there is no cure for the reincarnation of infatuation.
At that moment, he made up his mind to conquer this woman, not because of her status as an empress, but because he wanted to possess her completely.
A woman's harem is a battlefield without gunpowder, and they will do anything for a man's favor. Obviously, the men's harem is even more cruel, because the male concubines are not only fighting for the favor of the empress, but also for the status in the court.
A woman's harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but a man's harem can, and as long as the male concubine is favored by the empress, she can seek a position in the court for herself, but the possibility is very small.
Because Xi Heng has been working hard since he entered the palace, striving to become the leader of the harem, striving to become the empress's favorite male concubine, and striving to show his best self.
But from beginning to end, except for letting him take charge of Fengjun's seal, the empress did not mention that she wanted to add him to the rank of knight.
It was only an expedient measure to let him lead his troops to blockade Xicheng on the night of Bai Saburo's death, and there was no movement after that.
Can ...... now
Xi Heng felt the hot pain on his face, and felt that all this was extremely ironic.
He once thought that he could conquer the noble and cold woman in front of him, but in the end he realized that he was wrong.
The empress used to be very fond of him, yes, but it was only a matter of material reputation, she never let him touch her, except for when he was selected in the palace, he held her hand, so far, he has not even touched her lips, let alone be happy with her.
Therefore, when he heard the rumors of the palace that the empress was pregnant, Xi Heng was very jealous and angry.
The woman he had never touched was pregnant with someone else's child!
Even though she is the empress, even though she has countless male concubines in her harem, he just can't swallow this breath.
That's why after catching Yu Yi and Ah Zi, he used today's events to vent all his previous resentment, thinking that the evidence was conclusive and he could put Yu Yi to death in one fell swoop, but he still underestimated the big backer behind Yu Yi - King Qin.
At this time, Xi Heng was full of remorse, he should have thought that it was impossible for King Qin to sit idly by and ignore this matter, but things had reached this point, and there seemed to be no room for recovery.
Xun Jiu looked at Xi Heng's embarrassed back sitting on the ground, and silently lit a white wax in his heart, and at the same time felt sad for the mentally retarded behavior that this man showed at the end.
The so-called "truth" that Xi Heng exposed today, Xun Jiu knew that it might be true just by observing Yu Yi's expression.
Xi Heng had evidence in his hand, and there could have been many ways to win, but he still couldn't count Fu Sheng's belly black after all his calculations. Forget if you lose, after waking up, you have to emphasize the private relationship between Yuyi and Ah Zi, Xi Heng's move is undoubtedly in front of everyone in the hall to repeatedly emphasize that the empress was cuckolded by Yuyi.
If he was willing to give in just now, apologize to Yuyi in front of everyone, and admit that he slandered Yuyi and Ah Zi, then the empress might have relented and let him go first.
Can ...... now
Xun Jiu glanced at the empress's angry expression and pursed his lips, thinking that the people who could make the empress unable to come to the stage probably went down to receive Meng Po soup.
The empress was obviously angry, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped suddenly, startling everyone to quickly hold their breath.
After a long time, the empress said sharply: "Spread my will, Xi Hengsheng is jealous, slanders male concubines, slanders female officials, from now on, take back the seal of Fengjun, abolish the title, pull out the root of the tongue, punish the palace, hand over to the Shaofu to assign chores, and he will not be promoted for the rest of his life." ”
Xun Jiu's eyebrows twitched twice.
Vicious! It's ruthless!
She thought that the empress would directly kill Xi Heng to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that this woman's ruthlessness was much beyond her imagination.
It's just a matter of taking back the Fengjun seal and abolishing the title, and the root of the tongue will be pulled out, and the palace punishment will be imposed to make him a eunuch, which is a kind of naked insult for a normal man, not to mention that Xi Heng is still the male concubine who holds the Fengjun seal on behalf of him, this feeling of falling from the clouds to the abyss must be thousands of times more uncomfortable alive than dead.
Xi Heng's face was like ashes, his eyes were red, and he couldn't say a word after choking in his throat for a long time.
The black-armored soldiers of the Tantai family were the first time to see the empress's iron-blooded methods, and everyone was immediately frightened.
Tao Yaoyao sighed in her heart, she knew that Gong Yi had a wound on her chest, and it was because she accidentally saw Gong Yi who took off his clothes in the reeds to heal her wounds that day, and she and him would have a later intersection.
And just now the empress's personal guard said that Gong Yi was not injured, which means that King Qin is lying.
Tao Yaoyao glanced at Xi Heng, her heart tightened, if the lie was exposed, how angry would the empress be? What about Gong Yi's fate compared to Xi Heng?
Before she could think about it, Xi Heng, who had been slow for a long time, finally made a sound, although it was low, but it was enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly.
He said, "Ah Shu, if there is an afterlife, let me be your husband alone, okay?" I don't want to just take your hand. ”
This sentence, the tone is indescribably sincere and sincere, with a calm that is all lost.
Xun Jiu secretly screamed badly, and before she could react, Xi Heng had already taken the dagger in her hand and stabbed her chest, and the scorching blood stained the smooth floor red, ending a fresh life in an instant.
Xi Heng's choice to commit suicide to save his reputation was something that no one expected, and even Xun Jiu was surprised.
The empress closed her eyes and waved her hand, "Drag it down, crush the bones and scatter ashes!" ”
The two Praetorian Guards quickly walked in and dragged Xi Heng's body to go out.
"That's it!" The empress thought for a moment and changed her words: "Leave a whole corpse!" ”
