Chapter 55: Defeat

The emperor was silent, just looked at the girl in front of him, and his heart slowly drifted away from a long time ago.

That year, Concubine Xian first entered the palace, and she was just a talented person.

That year, it was also such a Hundred Flowers Dynasty Meeting, and the harem wanted to tease her, so she was sent to dance in front of everyone. Who would have expected that it was that short song that once again made his silent heart ripple.

After that, she soon had their child, and after Feng Xiuyun was born, she insisted on canonizing her as a virtuous concubine despite everyone's criticism. He smiled at her, thinking about her thoughtfulness, until Xiu Yun gradually grew up, and he told her that as long as this child became an adult, he would be the new king of Daning.

Who would have thought that she had a marriage contract with the prime minister before entering the palace, but it was her, but it was him. How could he accept that the woman he loved was the one abandoned by the prime minister, and locked her in the canglou with an iron heart.

Her heart ached, she had few worries, how could she not know. I was thinking about finding some excuse to let her out, but she was with the guards! I saw the two of them lying on the bed with my own eyes, and the side face of deep sleep was the red silk that held my heart.

I can't bear it, I don't have to endure it anymore, after that day, my heart was locked in Luanming Palace with her.

Later, when I heard that she had gone, my heart was empty.

Even if there are countless beauties around her in the future, who can match the slightest trace of her in her heart?

Last year, Begonia locked Zhu Lou and danced sleeves. But now the people are empty and thin, and the begonias are falling into their eyes.

She is innocent.

I have said this to myself more than once, however, how can I justify it by seeing it with my own eyes.

The emperor's hands slowly clenched into fists, and his cold eyes were facing Ting Bai, "How do you know?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Ting Baixu also thought of the depths of love, his eyes slowly turned red, and he sobbed and replied: "Back then, Concubine Shu bought the guards and summoned the slave and maid over, and the poor little sister of the slave and maid worked under Concubine Shu, but she was not pleased.

Concubine Shu said to the slave maid that if she did not listen to her orders, she would kill the slave's little sister. When the slave saw her dying little sister, she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she had to agree. At that time, she gave the slave a porcelain vase containing some drugs.

Concubine Shu said to the slave maid that in a few days, she would send some good food to Concubine Xian, so that the slave and maid would be drugged at that time. The slave didn't dare to disobey, and a few days later, the person who delivered the meal brought a whip cake, and the slave and maid took the medicine to the virtuous concubine.

Concubine Xian Niangniang had doubts at that time, and the slave maid wanted to persuade her with good words, but she suddenly raised her hand and ate it, and said to the slave and maid that there may be many hardships in the days to come, and she wants the slave and maid to live well.

Now that I think about it, Concubine Xian already knew that there was fraud in the whip cake, but she still ate it. ”

"You talk nonsense!" The concubine on the side couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and pointed at Ting Bai and gritted her teeth, "A cheap maid dares to frame this palace like this." ”

Saying that, she immediately turned around and knelt in front of the emperor and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "The emperor can't listen to this cheap girl's nonsense, she was already in the palace of the concubine with unclean hands and feet, and was caught by the concubine and sent to the Shen Punishment Division, she is a bloody emperor." ”

The emperor seemed to have disgusted her hand, and asked Ting Bai coldly, "What you said, there is evidence." ”

Ting Bai bowed again and continued: "Not long after Concubine Xian's death, Concubine Shu Guifei summoned the slave and maid over, and it was the slave's little sister who was tied to the table, and she called the father-in-law beside her to the slave's little sister...... To her...... Iron-clad betting! The slave saw the little sister die in front of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid were really afraid of the scene at that time. At this time, Concubine Shu took out this ring and gave it to the slave maid, saying that if this matter was poked out, it would also make the slave die quietly. ”

Ting Bai said, taking out a ring and holding it above his head.

Except for the emperor, no one in the room knew what the iron injection was, and they whispered one after another.

The emperor's face was calm as usual, but his heart was already terrifying. Someone in the palace dared to use such a capital punishment with iron injection, it was really cruel!

Concubine Shu wanted to say something more, and the emperor said in a cold voice: "Everything in the palace has a record, when this palace maid served in what palace, when this ring entered the palace and when it was assigned to whom, there are clear records, just check it." ”

When Concubine Shu heard this, she couldn't help but go limp. Over the years, she has been on the throne little by little, saying that there is no life in her hands, and who believes it, in this palace, if you keep it, you have to try your best to collect it, and if you can't keep it, you have to get rid of it. Never thought that today you would destroy a ring?

Tong Guan in the palace just went out to send someone to investigate, and when he came back, he whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, Lord Cao has arrived." ”

"Pass him in."

Tong Guan bowed slightly, straightened up and raised his voice to speak, "Pass on the light clothes guard master Cao Zhen!" ”

Cao Zhen, who was outside the door, lifted the corner of his robe and stepped in, and when he saw the whining atmosphere in this hall, he already knew a little bit in his heart. glanced at Concubine Shugui, and saw that she was making a few glances at herself, Cao Zhen also raised the corners of her mouth slightly, which was a response.

When he came to the emperor, he bowed down and bowed, "The minister is lightly clothed and guards Cao Zhen see the emperor." ”

"Rise up and speak, where is there another person?" It was also strange for the emperor to see that only one person entered the palace.

Cao Zhen raised his head and explained to him: "Your Majesty, that kid Miao has gone on a mission and is not in the capital yet, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." ”

The emperor said "um", pointed to the tray and asked, "What do you see here?" ”

Everyone in the palace stared at Cao Zhen, and everyone knew in their hearts that if Cao Zhen said that this was a black unicorn, it would be equivalent to sentencing Concubine Shu to death.

Cao Zhen naturally didn't understand, but he only glanced at it, and immediately raised his head to the emperor, "Back to the emperor, this thing is the black unicorn ant, and it has absorbed the blood of the extreme yin and become a poisonous guide." ”

When these words came out, everyone's doubts disappeared, and it was mostly a sense of amazement. Only Concubine Shu was terrified, and she couldn't care about her demeanor, so she shouted in a lost voice: "Cao Zhen! How dare you betray me! How can you do this to me! ”

Cao Zhen sneered, and looked at Concubine Shu with a puzzled expression, "Niangniang said something strange, the minister is the overseer of the light clothes guard, and he runs errands for the emperor, why is it related to you again?" ”

"You ......" Concubine Shu was speechless and slipped away.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned out to be defeated in the hands of Cao Zhen, this man who once vowed to her that he would protect her thoughtfully, when did he change his mind, and it was he who helped her step by step to where she is today, why? At this moment, when one sentence can save him, why, he rebelled?
