Chapter 276: The Death of the Concubine
At the same time, Zhou Huan on the other side finally waited for Qi Wei, the person he wanted to see, again.
"Lord Wang."
Qi Wei hooked his lips and smiled, "Brother and sister, I won't come in, I came here to invite you to come over to wash away your grievances." β
"Thank you." Zhou Huan nodded, bent down and saluted Qi Wei, and then in front of everyone, Zhou Huan didn't say anything more, just turned around and left here with Qi Wei.
In front of the emperor's spirit, the concubines of the harem and everyone knelt down sadly, seeing Zhou Huan coming, their eyes were full of anger, and they couldn't wait to come up and greet Zhou Huan well.
"Brother and sister, please."
Zhou Huan nodded and stood aside quietly. He knew that Qi Wei was not a person without a plan, and since he had already arranged for himself to come here, then he should have a complete plan.
Zhou Huan here hadn't had time to speak, but Taishi Shen on the side couldn't help but speak: "Lord Wang, tomorrow is the day of the emperor's funeral, is there anything that must be said today?" β
Hearing this, Qi Wei nodded.
"It's about the truth about my father's poisoning, I think the prince will understand, and my father will also understand."
Master Shen blushed, but he didn't say anything more. After all, the result of his discussion with Chu Xingchen was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
He is already old, and this court is no longer the Shen family, and it is precisely because of this that he restricts himself a little more, including the entire Shen family.
But in the end, this daughter of mine is still too stubborn.
"Lord Wang, isn't that vicious woman Zhou Huan? It's a shame that she's still the princess of Chu. Because of dissatisfaction, Xiao Linger still said such brainless words.
Hearing this, Zhou Huan sneered in her heart, it seemed that she looked down on her opponent, but she was just a useless child.
Sure enough, Qi Wei shook his head and said, "County Lord, unfortunately this king has found out some things, I'm afraid I can't think like this." β
"I don't believe it!" Xiao Ling'er had just spoken, but was interrupted by Master Shen: "Okay, kneel obediently." β
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er immediately knelt obediently and didn't dare to say more than half a word. It seems that the rumors from the outside world are not wrong, Xiao Ling'er still listens to Taishi Shen's words very much.
"Father-in-law Zhou, come and tell me, why didn't you stay by your father's side on the night when your father was poisoned?" Qi Wei looked at Gonggong Zhou, who was now the big supervisor in the entire palace.
Hearing this, Zhou Gonggong knelt on the ground and explained: "Back to the prince, the old slave was cold and sick that day, and the emperor asked the old slave to go back first. However, the old slave still let my apprentice guard the emperor there. β
"Is it Teruko?" Qi Wei immediately asked.
Gonggong Zhou nodded, his eyes were full of honesty. And this matter has been verified, and he does not feel that he has any suspicion.
Sure enough, Qi Wei nodded, and then suddenly said, "But, Xiao Zhaozi, the person who killed Xiao Zhaozi was the princess, that is, the person who sent the decree that day in the princess's mouth." β
This......
In the crowd, there was suddenly a little more doubt. And this is the reason why Zhou Huan was able not to be escorted to the prison in the first place.
The Imperial Forest Army, who rushed there that day, did see the prince in the upper study.
As for Xiao Zhaozi's death, but his little brother witnessed it in secret, and because of this, the prince's doubts suddenly increased.
"Since this is the case, then ask the prince to bring the prince and others to wash away my grievances."
After Qi Wei's words were finished, the people present had finally regained some of their senses, and this time was the most appropriate.
In the past, as soon as Zhou Huan's words fell, Qi Wei clapped his hands, and then not far away, a slender figure took the lead and walked out.
"Weichen was ordered to track down the prince and father-in-law, and accidentally met the real murderer." The person who came was Qi Fengmian, he waved his hand, and the people behind him escorted two more people out.
One is the prince, and the other is a Ming concubine in a night suit.
"Concubine Ming?"
In the crowd, someone had already recognized the sudden appearance of Ming Guifei. There was a look of surprise in his eyes, after all, in everyone's cognition, shouldn't Concubine Ming be in the Buddhist hall in the palace now?
When Zhou Huan heard this, he also stood up. "Yes, why did Concubine Ming, who should have appeared in the Buddha Hall and asked to atone for the sins of the eldest prince, suddenly appear here?"
In a word, everyone looked at Ming Guifei with some other looks in their eyes.
At the same time, Concubine Ming was also stunned, and a pair of unbelievable eyes fell on the prince beside her.
However, the princess did not give Ming Guifei any chance to react, and directly knelt on the ground and said to everyone: "The prince spares my life, all this is what the concubine asked me to do, and the slave is just for the master's orders." β
After finishing speaking, the princess glanced at Ming Guifei with a complicated expression, and then smiled dejectedly, biting his tongue and committing suicide.
"Evil obstacles, don't make everything clear." Taishi Shen was furious, clenched the cane in his hand, and then threw it on Concubine Ming's body. Old Friends Book House
"Do you know how much the Shen family is about to be implicated by you, a dead girl."
"Master Shen, don't worry, let's talk more with the noble concubine." Zhou Huan opened her mouth anxiously, she knew that Master Shen was in a hurry to tell Concubine Ming not to affect the Shen family.
In fact, from the meeting between the prince and Concubine Ming, and the fact that Concubine Ming heard that the emperor did not abolish her, she was shocked in her eyes and knew that Concubine Ming didn't seem to know these things.
Therefore, this poisoning, I am afraid that it was used.
Moreover, it should be from the Western Regions. Qi Fengmian on the side stepped forward to look at the princess, and then walked to Zhou Huan's side and whispered the news to Zhou Huan.
"There's a pattern on it."
Hearing this, Zhou Huan was stunned in place, it seemed that the shrewd Concubine Ming had made an unforgivable mistake because of her greed and impatience.
At this point, the corners of Zhou Huan's lips finally had a smile, but this smile was fleeting and had been deeply placed in his heart.
Concubine Ming cooperated with the people of the Western Regions to kill her most important person, as well as the hatred of her adoptive father, but although she couldn't take revenge directly, or even slash the enemy, it seemed that this kind of torture and blow was more exciting.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huan couldn't help but open his mouth and said to Qi Fengmian beside him: "Thank you." β
Qi Fengmian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and didn't say anything more. His gaze turned to him, and then Zhou Huan also looked at it.
Suddenly, the emperor, who everyone knew was dead, suddenly appeared in front of everyone. I haven't seen him for a few days, although the emperor's face still looks a little pale, but on the whole, the toxicity should be solved.
Zhou Huan thought that the only person who could relieve this poison was Meng Qi.
Sure enough, the person supporting the emperor was none other than Meng Qi. Seeing Zhou Huan, Meng Qi nodded at Zhou Huan.
It turns out that everyone buys and works hard for themselves. Zhou Huan's heart warmed a little, and at the same time, he didn't seem very surprised that the emperor appeared. Even, it feels like things are finally back on track.
"Your Majesty, aren't you ......" Concubine Ming was the first to speak, with a look of surprise in her eyes.
She had been standing there because of pride, but at the moment she felt as if her legs had just suddenly weakened.
"Ming'er, you've disappointed me in the end." Sure enough, in the end, the emperor still saved face for the Shen family, and even took the initiative to go to Concubine Ming's side.
Then, the emperor leaned down, but the others did not know what the emperor said.
The only person who supported the emperor, Meng Qi personally heard him speak from the emperor's mouth: "Shen Mingxin, our evil fate in this life is finally over, in hell, you go to Ah Jiang to confess your guilt." β
Then, the emperor got up, and Concubine Ming was completely paralyzed in place.
This time, it was the emperor who really won. She is not a ruthless person, her father taught her to raise her, so this life can no longer block her father. The matter between himself and the people of the Western Regions, although it is his own wishful thinking, will also affect the Shen family in the end.
"Your Majestyβ"
Concubine Ming suddenly knelt on the ground, and then kowtowed fiercely to the emperor's back and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has no regrets in this life, but she has failed the emperor and her father, and the concubine deserves to die." β
"Really?"
The emperor turned around tremblingly, and because of this angry voice, all the people present came back to their senses and found that the emperor had not died.
It turns out that everything is just to find out who is behind the scenes. And this Ming Guifei is too deeply hidden. When everyone was afraid, but at the same time, they wiped away the tears from their eyes.
Concubine Ming kowtowed again, "The concubine begs the emperor to give the concubine a good time." β
She has no regrets, although she once put this man in her heart, but in the end, she is bent on thinking about who said that women are inferior to men, jealous of Queen Jiang, jealous of everything about her son, and in the end she also ruined everything with her own hands.
"Are you happy?" The Emperor pondered for a moment and waved his hand at the crowd.
Qi Fengmian understood, and immediately said to Zhou Huan and Qi Wei beside him: "Please." β
A word of invitation, and finally, everyone present turned to leave. There are still people in the crowd who are exclaiming, at this time, the emperor still saves face for Concubine Ming, in the end, she was once the woman that the emperor cares about.
When Taishi Shen heard this, he closed his eyes helplessly.
All he wants in this life is power, so the emperor won't treat him badly. But helplessly, his daughter made a mistake, how could the emperor's heart be so forgiving.
Master Shen suddenly tripped over the tiles under his feet, and Qi Fengmian on the side hurriedly supported him.
"Master be careful."
Master Shen nodded, and then said with a long sigh: "Old, old, in the future, this country will belong to you juniors after all." β
Hearing this, Qi Fengmian smiled lightly: "Master Taishi said that he was joking, the Shen family is an important minister of the imperial court, and the emperor will understand." β
