Chapter 68: The Truth Revealed

"Someone, hit the palace hard, until she beckons the owner of the waist pendant."

Concubine Liang relied on the emperor's order, and her practice became more and more excessive, she just asked before, but seeing that Concubine Duan had not spoken, she simply asked her subordinates to play the board.

Qiu Luoxue thought to herself that Concubine Duan was weak and would definitely not be able to hold out a few times, and Xu Zhonghang was next to her, so she would definitely not watch Concubine Duan being beaten, and then Concubine Liang's plan would succeed.

The board had already been moved over there, and Qiu Luoxue hurriedly knelt down in front of the saint and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Concubine Duanniang is weak, something will happen if she continues to fight like this."

"If she can't stand it, she just needs to summon the owner of the waist, and if she is willing to protect that person with death, I will fulfill her." Xia Zimo said.

Qiu Luoxue looked back at Concubine Duan, who was being tortured, and the heavy board fell on her thin body, which was distressing to look at. It's just that the strong Concubine Duan never said a word, biting her lip desperately. Because of the pain, her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, her eyes were filled with tears, and a trace of blood was left at the corner of her mouth. Because the already pale face looks even more haggard at the moment, it is pitiful.

"Your Majesty, this is a trick to be beaten, in case Concubine Duan Niangniang can't support the punishment and says a name at will, you won't get the truth." Qiu Luoxue said that he hoped to change Xia Zimo's mind, but the latter remained indifferent.

Xu Zhonghang watched the board hit Duanfei all at once, and every hit hurt better than hitting himself. He finally couldn't stand by anymore, forgot Qiu Luoxue's advice, and regardless of Nie Yuan's dissuasion, he stepped forward and blocked the board that hit her for Concubine Duan.

Qiu Luoxue was still kneeling on the ground to plead, but when she saw Xu Zhonghang's movement, she immediately got up and wanted to hold him, but unfortunately it was too late.

Concubine Duan watched Xu Zhonghang walking towards her, shook her head with tears, signaled her not to come, and her tears flew down with the movement of shaking her head. It wasn't until Xu Zhonghang lay on top of her to block the board for her that she finally couldn't help crying loudly.

When Concubine Liang saw this scene, a smug smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

Xia Zimo has always had a cold face, he doesn't seem to have invested any emotion in this farce, and he hasn't shouted "stop", the emperor didn't say stop, and those eunuchs continued to play the board, but at this time, the pain fell on Xu Zhonghang's body.

"Emperor Nanliang did not die of illness, but planted a poison called the Opportunity Medicine." Divine Doctor Wang appeared above the main hall, and the words that came out of his mouth instantly caused an uproar.

"I respect you as a Seven Kingdoms Doctor Immortal, and I treat you with great courtesy, why did you say such groundless words." Emperor Nanliang glared at Divine Doctor Wang and said.

"This is not empty words, come on, carry up." Su Mufei said, and then brought a coffin from outside the main hall.

The coffin of the former emperor has a special decoration and color, so as soon as this coffin is raised, everyone recognizes it. Among the ministers, the voices of discussion are getting louder and louder.

"Oh my God, this ...... Isn't this the coffin of the former emperor? I can't rest in the temple, and I was moved around like this, it's really a sin, a sin. ”

"It turns out that the coffin of the former emperor was stolen by the six princes, which is really a big rebellion."

“……”

Everyone was talking about it, but although it was so discussed, no one had come forward to accuse anyone. They are all wise and self-protecting, and when the situation of the struggle is still unclear, none of them will easily express their position.

When the coffin of the first emperor was slowly parked in the center of the main hall, Emperor Nanliang said: "Sixth brother, my father's coffin is parked in the Taimiao, but you stole him out, you actually did such a big rebellion."

"This matter was ordered by this palace to be done." The Queen Mother said that she had to say this because she was threatened by Su Mufei.

"The former emperor was usually in good health, but he suddenly died violently in the palace, and without any farewell ceremony, he didn't even see the emperor in the palace, which made the palace very puzzled. So he sent the six princes to investigate the matter. It's just that I didn't expect that Su Muxin, you are so bold that you actually poisoned the emperor. The Queen Mother continued, and the last few words were said to Su Muxin, the Emperor of Southern Liang, and her voice was full of anger and disappointment.

"Erchen knows that the sixth brother is the adopted son of the queen mother, and the queen mother wants him to ascend the throne, but you can't slander Erchen like this." Su Muxin involved this matter in the matter of seizing the heir.

Many things in the royal family, once involved in the succession, will make the audience waver, and in the end, it will be over.

"Whether it is slander or not, you will know when you open the coffin. If the imperial brother can't believe the people I brought, he can ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come and check on him, and then the truth will be revealed, and we will argue again. Su Mufei proposed.

"My father has passed away, I should have been buried in the ground, but now you have to open the coffin, my father loved you very much during his lifetime, but you have to do this great rebellion." Su Muxin accused.

"All the consequences will be borne by the palace, come and open the coffin." The Queen Mother overrode public opinion and ordered.

The battle in the palace was still scorching, and the troops led by Cai Chikun and the troops of the eldest princess faced off against each other and fought each other. The inner courtyard of the palace has long since lost its original solemnity and has been replaced by a tragic scene. The corpses of the soldiers lay haphazardly on the ground, some of them missing arms, some of them missing legs, and some of them had their heads cut off, and their flesh and blood were flying...... Blood stained the ground of the palace red, blending with the dead leaves, and muddy the soil, showing the fierceness of the battle.

The eldest princess is on the defensive, and Cai Chikun is on the offensive. Now that the location of the battle has been transferred to the inner courtyard of the palace, it means that the eldest princess's side is at a disadvantage.

"Eldest princess, there won't be much time outside, they are about to attack the main hall." The soldier reported.

"Hold on to me, no matter what, until the Han family army arrives." The eldest princess said loudly, but although she kept saying this, she actually had no confidence in her heart.

"Imperial sister, will the prime minister kill us?" Beside the eldest princess, a teenage boy asked in a trembling voice.

"He's not a prime minister, he's a traitor." The eldest princess said that because she hated Cai Chikun to the core, she spoke in a loud voice and jumped the boy.

Mu Qianqian noticed that he was frightened, and when she saw this young brother, she had a lot of unbearability in her heart, so she held him in her arms and said, "Shan'er, don't be afraid, I won't let him succeed." The rivers and mountains of Beize belong to our good children, and the imperial sister will guard them for you, and no one will want to take them away. ”

"Stop, stop, don't fight anymore."

Qiu Luoxue watched the board fall on Xu Zhonghang's body, and Concubine Duan's cry filled her eardrums, making her unbearable to look at or listen to it anymore. She is determined to save the desperate couple.

Xia Zimo didn't shout to stop, no one dared to stop without permission, Qiu Luoxue saw that there was no hope, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and rushed to them to block the board with her body. Seeing that the board was about to fall, Qiu Luoxue closed her eyes in despair, anyway, it was this time, and it might not hurt so much if she closed her eyes and couldn't see it.

After closing my eyes for a while, there was no pain as I imagined, but my ears became noisy. She slowly opened her eyes, and saw that Xia Zimo and Nie Yuan had already arrived at her side, and the two of them each blocked the board with one hand.

"Are you crazy?" Xia Zimo said loudly, not because he was angry, but out of worry about Qiu Luoxue.

"It's Your Majesty who is crazy, Weichen is not worthy of you to bother me like this." Qiu Luoxue said angrily.

Originally, she hadn't lost her anger in the past few days, and when she saw what Xia Zimo did today, she was even more angry. Although in the matter of Duanfei Niangniang's red apricot coming out of the wall, the biggest victim should be Xia Zimo.

"How? Are you okay? Why do you have to block it with your hands, it hurts. Qiu Luoxue didn't care about Xia Zimo, but showed concern for Nie Yuan, maybe it was also to anger Xia Zimo.

Her behavior was obviously so angry that Xia Zimo watched her hold Nie Yuan's hand, and her face immediately sank.

Nie Yuan noticed Xia Zimo's expression, withdrew his hand from Qiu Luoxue's hand, and said, "I'm fine."

"Cai Cheng conspired against him, I will be ordered by the eldest princess to clear out the rebels, and those who surrender will be not guilty, and those who continue to resist will be killed on the spot." The generals of the Han family army arrived with their troops, and there were no defenders outside the capital, so they were able to enter easily, and soon arrived outside the palace.

With the arrival of the Han family's army, the situation on the eldest princess's side has improved, and the victory is basically decided.

On the other hand, in the palace of Nanliang, Su Muxin insisted on not opening the coffin because he was worried that his poisoning and poisoning of the emperor would be exposed, and in order to regain the defeat, he ordered the Imperial Forest Army to arrest Su Mufei and the Queen Mother.

"Come on, take down Su Mufei and the Queen Mother." Su Muxin ordered.

Then, a group of Imperial Guards entered the main hall, and the sound of heavy armor and neat steps sounded. Seeing the Imperial Forest Army coming in, Su Muxin showed a smug smile, but his smile froze on his face in the next second. Because the commander of the Royal Forest Army turned his sword at him.

"General Xing, what do you mean by this, do you want to rebel?" Su Muxin scolded angrily.

"Poisoned and murdered my father, it should be you who want to rebel." Su Mufei said.

"You are talking nonsense, I did not plot to kill my father." Su Muxin said.

"You teamed up with your father-in-law, Zhongman, who was next to the emperor, to poison the medicinal diet. He also bribed the imperial doctor to make a false diagnosis and secretly killed the palace maid and eunuch who was on duty that night, thinking that this would be negligent but not leaky, and could it be hidden from the eyes of the world? It's a pity that you forgot that things in this world, as long as you do them, will eventually be known. Su Mufei said.

"Your Majesty, now the truth is very clear, this waist pendant is Xu Zhonghang's Imperial Physician Xu, he used his identity as the imperial physician to have a private meeting with Concubine Duan's sister, such contempt for Your Majesty's majesty, insulting the royal face, please Your Majesty to investigate." Seeing that the time was almost there, Concubine Liang knelt in front of the saint and said.

Seeing this, Qiu Luoxue also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this conclusion of Concubine Liang is really ridiculous, Imperial Doctor Xu and Concubine Duanniang are brother and sister, and when he saw Concubine Duanniang suffering, he naturally couldn't bear to ignore it." Concubine Liang therefore decided that the waist was Imperial Doctor Xu's, which was too arbitrary. ”

"Imperial Doctor Xu and Sister Duanfei are not brothers and sisters, this is well known." Concubine Liang said again, "Besides, there are other evidence in this palace. ”

"Since Concubine Liang has other evidence, she might as well take it out at once, why do you want to make a mystery here?" Qiu Luoxue questioned her.

Concubine Liang didn't mind Qiu Luoxue's attitude, and shouted loudly: "Come on, bring it."

After Xu Zhonghang and Concubine Duan saw the people who were brought up, they knew that everything was over, and their affairs were finally revealed.
