662 Killing

Zhong Li Erlang has not yet set off, and the case of the murder of Hou Shizi of Nan'an has been found by Zhong Liche.

However, this matter was not made public, Zhong Liche only returned to the old sage, and even Nan Anhou and his wife did not get any news.

There were accidents in the palace one after another, the palace concubines were reprimanded one after another, the old sage's face had been lost, Zhongli knew that the old sage wanted face, so he hid it and only told the old sage about it, and the old sage decided.

Although he wanted Nan Anhou and his wife to kill Concubine Li, there was an old saint who still couldn't do too much.

Originally, he received news from the crown prince that Concubine Li would help King Zhao to seize the heir, and even put King Yu in front of him as a shield for this reason, and the old sage was full of suspicions about Concubine Li. This time, it was found out that Concubine Li was still the murderer who ordered the poisoning of the prince of Nan'an, and the old sage was furious and horrified.

The woman who was as tender as water, as elegant as a camellia, and had been by his side for more than 20 years, actually had such a femme fatale heart!

Thinking about it, maybe Concubine Li looked back at herself in a midnight dream, her heart was full of murderous intent, thinking about how to dismantle herself, and the old sage broke out in a cold sweat.

In order to save the royal face, the old sage could not publicize the matter, so he could only hand over the matter to the queen.

Seeing that the old sage had ordered someone to summon the queen, Zhongli couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't the sage suspect that the minister was bribed by the empress to help the crown prince?" ”

The old sage was not in the mood at all, and even felt that his face was dull, seeing Zhong Liche laughing, he snorted coldly, "Shuhua pushed you out for the dead ghost that day, haven't you already filed with me here?" What else do you want to ask this time? ”

"I'm just worried." Zhongli's smile remained unchanged. Said slowly.

The old sage was angry when he saw it, but after all, this was a very capable courtier in his hands, and he could only be angry.

"Kneel down." The old sage waved his hand, looking unwilling to see Zhong Litho.

Zhong Liche knew that he would definitely give good instructions to the queen, so he didn't stay long, and went out after Shi Li.

The old saint was left to sit alone in the imperial study, his face gloomy.

Concubine Li's move was obviously to play him in applause, just a palace concubine, how dare she do this!

The old sage didn't doubt Zhong Li Che. Because since Princess Shuhua pushed people to Zhong Li Che. After asking Zhong Liche to treat people as substitute ghosts, Zhong Liche immediately entered the palace to report to him, and then asked his people to search for evidence together.

Because the stakes are high, the means, abilities, and scheming of the people he sent are all first-class. It's just that it looks ordinary on the surface.

This man is his confidant. Zhong Li Che is also his confidant. The two men came to the same conclusion, suggesting that neither of them lied to him.

Thinking of this, the old sage even felt that his tooth socket hurt.

He boasted of being wise and martial all his life. How could he be played with by a harem woman?

What is not competing for favor, what is humble and virtuous, a motherly heart, is simply a joke. How sincere he was when he praised Concubine Li, how ironic it is in retrospect.

Shaoqing eunuch Shen You said that the queen was waiting outside the door, and he reluctantly restrained his face and let the queen in.

The queen is old, and after giving birth to the youngest prince, she ages faster, and even has gray hair on her sideburns.

Is this woman also like Concubine Li, playing with him in the palm of her hand?

The old saint looked at the queen's gaze, full of suspicion.

The queen saluted, with just the right smile on her face, "I don't know what happened when the saint Xuanchen's concubine came?" ”

"The queen has been taking care of the harem for me for many years, and it has been really hard." The old sage said sincerely.

Surprise flashed on the queen's face, and soon her eyes turned red again, "The saint has an overreputation, the concubines just abide by their duties, and there are concubines, concubines and concubines assisted by concubines, concubines and concubines, and concubines really can't afford such praise." ”

The old sage sighed, "The queen is modest. ”

Since ancient times, the harem should be controlled by the queen, but he is afraid that the prince will be powerful, and the queen will control the middle palace again, and no one will be able to check and balance, so he will always find an excuse to divide the rights of the lord of the middle palace.

Now it seems that the queen's heart is still full of complaints.

If it was in the past, the old sage would definitely hate the queen's words with complaints, but knowing the true face of Concubine Li, he suddenly felt that the queen was a real person.

All women are not generous, but some women will not show their generosity, and some women hide it very deeply and plot behind their backs. In the past, he only looked at the surface, so he liked the latter kind of woman.

Concubine Li was demoted, her heart was uneasy, and she felt guilty about King Yu, missed King Zhao deeply, and committed suicide in Zhaoyang Palace. The palace maid who served beside her did not take good care of her master, because she was derelict in her responsibilities and was buried with a cane. ”

The old sage spoke slowly, but firmly.

The queen's face changed drastically, she looked at the saint, saw the killing intent on his face, was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and exclaimed, "Saint! ”

"Why, isn't that the ending you want?" The old sage's eyes narrowed slightly.

The queen's face turned pale, and she knelt down suddenly, "Concubine...... Concubines...... The concubine has been looking forward to this ending for more than 20 years...... However, it is unprovoked, and the concubines and concubines are unbelievable. …… I wonder if one day, the concubines will be like this......"

As she spoke, tears rolling down her face.

When the old sage heard this, his heart softened, this was his wife, and there was nothing wrong with it, but because of the country, he was not very good to her.

"Isn't that substitute for the dead ghost sent by Princess Shuhua the reason? The queen didn't say she didn't know. The old sage looked at the queen and continued.

The queen hurriedly said, "That person is Concubine Li's very loyal chess piece, and the concubine only wants to break Concubine Li's chess piece." ”

"Then you and the prince are also crooked, this chess piece is the murderer of the prince of Nan'an." The old sage said slowly.

The queen was shocked, and her face was terrified, "Is this really what the saint said?" ”

The old sage snorted unhappily, "Naturally, it's true. ”

But the queen couldn't react, and she didn't know that she had said the wrong thing. This incident is really shocking.

She and the Prince. I really didn't know that person was the murderer of Nan'an Hou Shizi, and as she said to the old sage, she just wanted to get rid of Concubine Li's useful pawn.

However, this is really a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, and actually caught a big fish.

Seeing that the queen was so shocked that she couldn't come back to her senses, regardless of the king's loss of honor, the old saint nodded slightly in his heart, maybe the queen really didn't know.

However, on the face, he didn't leak it out at all, and snorted coldly with a calm face. "Queenβ€”"

The queen hurriedly came back to her senses. Looking at the old saint, he began to plead guilty.

The old sage snorted, "You go and execute, and then invite Mrs. Nan Anhou into the palace." Inform her of the results. But this matter must not be leaked...... Let Nan Anhou and his wife spend a few days. Perform a play with General Zhenguo. Just find a murderer to come out and replace it. ”

The queen hurriedly kowtowed, and asked tentatively, "......Where is Li Shangshu's mansion?"

"Concubine Li committed suicide. Then they should have been invited into the palace. The old sage said slowly.

The queen nodded repeatedly.

"You go and try to settle this matter today." The old sage said, a hint of coldness flashing across his face.

After the queen came out, she broke out in a cold sweat.

It was like something that was favored at the beginning, but in the end, he could order so coldly.

She asked the grandmother behind her, "When will General Zhenguo enter the palace and when will he leave the palace?" ”

The old lady replied in a low voice, "Half an hour into the palace, the moment before the mother went to the imperial study, General Zhenguo left the palace. ”

When the queen heard this, her heart was even more chilling.

From the old sage, he knew that Concubine Li instructed someone to kill the prince of Nan'an Hou by cruel means, but in just half an hour, he made up his mind to put Concubine Li to death. Without hesitation, or even without much investigation and verification, it was decided to want Concubine Li to die.

It's ironic to think about how much he once loved Concubine Li.

The queen walked to the imperial garden, whispered a few words to a palace maid beside her, and sat down to wait.

The spring flowers are bright and the spring is brilliant, but the elegant camellia is about to fall today.

She suddenly smiled slightly.

The old saint should believe the truth she just said in the imperial study?

As soon as she heard the news that the old sage was going to kill Concubine Li, she was not the slightest frightened or afraid, on the contrary, she couldn't wait to jump up and sing a song.

She knew that after Concubine Li's deception, the old sage should prefer her viciousness with unconcealable care.

Clearly, she was right.

It's just that today she was ordered to kill Concubine Li, and there is no evidence, will the old sage depose her and the prince on the grounds that she poisoned Concubine Li?

This thought appeared, and the smile on the queen's face was closed.

Why didn't she think of this question just now?

A cold sweat broke out on her forehead, damn it, how could she forget about such a serious problem because she got carried away?

It was the secret order of the old sage, and even the old queen mother didn't know, if the old sage really counted the accounts in the future, she couldn't explain it with a hundred mouths.

The queen clenched her hands and gritted her teeth.

Why don't you go to the Zhaoyang Palace now, find an excuse to go back to the Lizheng Palace, and then invite the prince in to discuss?

This idea came out before it was vetoed by the queen.

The old sage said that it should be resolved within today, and no one else should be told. If she disobeyed, the prince would surely suffer as well. Moreover, from now on, it will arouse the suspicion of the old saint.

She couldn't help but resent the old sage in her heart, how could he give herself such a vicious order?

But the good opportunity to kill Concubine Li, she couldn't refuse at all. Moreover, this was ordered by the old sage, and she had already agreed, so would she regret it now?

I'm afraid that the old saint will be angry and embarrassed, and the first one who won't let go is her.

The queen felt that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and her forehead throbbed.

The old lady saw her frowning, and hurriedly stepped forward, "The queen mother is not feeling well?" ”

The queen shook her head, desperately calculating in her mind the chances of the old sage deposing the prince, and the chances of the prince fighting hard.

She soon made up her mind.

The old sage can't tolerate Concubine Li, so he definitely can't tolerate King Zhao. The only one who is competitive is King Yu. But King Yu and Concubine Li are also related, and the old sage must not be pleasing to the eye - even if it is pleasing to the eye, the prince's power is much greater than that of King Yu, and he is not afraid of him at all.

Thinking about it, the queen's brows slowly relaxed, and a smile returned to her face.

The old lady stood behind her, and when she saw her smiling at the flowers, she thought that she was in a good mood when she looked at the spring, and she was very happy.

In this palace, you have to be so happy.

Not long after, the palace maid came to the imperial garden with a few brisk palace maids.

Seeing this, the queen motioned for everyone to follow, and then went to Concubine Li's Zhaoyang Palace.

When she arrived at the entrance of the palace, Concubine Li motioned for Mama to follow the rest of the palace maids to stay in the outer hall, and she walked into the inner hall with two palace maids with light hands and feet.

Concubine Li was kneeling in the Zhaoyang Palace, holding Buddha beads and muttering scriptures.

After the queen came in, she came out with a pale face to salute, like a camellia that had been blown by wind and rain, in addition to elegance, it added a touch of weakness.

Could it be that the old sage was reluctant to do it himself, because he was afraid that he would be reluctant to do it when he saw Concubine Li?

In the queen's heart, this thought flashed in an instant.

But soon, her heart calmed down again, no matter what, after today, there will be no more Concubine Li.

"Sister, the sage has a message for the palace to pass on to my sister, please let my sister retreat." The queen looked at Concubine Li with pity on her face and said.

Concubine Li's eyes flashed with deep thought, but she quickly waved her hand and ordered the people in the palace who were waiting for her to go out. She has always been so knowledgeable about current affairs, and she has an excellent reputation in the palace.

After her grandmother and palace maid withdrew, there were two uncommon palace maids beside the queen in the palace.

"Sister, these two palace maids look so good, they don't seem to have seen them before." Concubine Li looked at the two palace maids and said.

Her face was still delicate, but the handkerchief in her hand was crumpled, and green tendons appeared on the back of her hand.

She felt a huge uneasiness, what was going on, it was her palace maid who couldn't listen, but the queen's palace maid could listen, and it was a palace maid she had never seen before.

"I've never seen it before, and it's not too late to see it now." The queen smiled and said, "It's just for you." ”

Concubine Li's face changed, "Sister, what do you mean by this?" I want to see a saint? ”

The queen glanced at the two palace maids beside her, and then smiled at Concubine Li, "My sister is lucky, she will be able to meet the saint in less than three days." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two palace maids behind her shook their bodies and rushed towards Concubine Li.

The queen took a few steps back, as if she was enjoying a big play, and her noble face was extremely comfortable.

"Ah......h

The queen frowned when she saw this, she had ordered Concubine Li to commit suicide, what is this now?

But what surprised her even more appeared, a figure hurriedly rushed towards her, and then, she heard the palace maid shouting urgently, "Niangniang, retreat quickly-"

What the hell is going on?

The queen didn't have time to react, so she could only watch Concubine Li rush towards her with a pair of scissors.

The scissors slowly enlarged in the queen's eyes, and the murderous aura spread.

Am I going to die? What the hell is going on?

The queen's eyes widened, her eyes were full of unwillingness and doubt, she brought two palace maids to kill Concubine Li, why did she die in the end? (To be continued......)

PS: Sorry, it's late.
