Chapter 974: The Little Queen Allures the Country and the City (21)
But to be precise, they have no prince or princess under their knees.
Concubine Liang has never made enemies with them, at least she has not deliberately calculated to upset them.
In this way, the death of the second prince is not good for them.
There can also be downsides.
For example, I accidentally carried this big black cauldron.
Thinking like this, the concubines are all in danger.
Half a long time came, and they immediately bowed on their knees.
Among these people, Concubine Shu is particularly prominent.
But she didn't brainlessly let people move chairs over and sit in a grand manner.
It's just that the expression on that face still has a sense of pride.
Everyone knows that the emperor loves her daughter Xiao Yi the most.
Others are mothers and sons, but she is the only mother and daughter.
There was a messy footstep behind him.
Half a long time back and saw Xiao Yi running here.
Xiao Yi stopped outside, she was looking at it in a daze, her eyes were red but there was no tears.
When Concubine Shu saw her, she immediately frowned and walked over.
greeted several palace maids and took Xiao Yi away.
Xiao Yi's appearance was only a very brief episode, an insignificant episode.
And no one paid attention.
For a long time, he lowered his eyes slightly.
What clearly came to mind was the picture where Concubine Shu hugged Xiao Yi just now.
Xiao Yi, like his mother Concubine Shufei, is very pampered and domineering, and it is said that if something goes wrong, she beats and scolds the palace maids and eunuchs at every turn, and even many palace maids and eunuchs because she died innocently.
These rumors did not spread, and people outside the palace only knew that the eldest princess was a little more delicate.
Although Concubine Shu is domineering, she is also a very brainy person.
There is a concubine in front of her, an emperor in the back, and the queen mother praises.
This Xiao Yi can be said to be the envy of countless people in the harem.
There was even a rumor for a while.
In fact, the emperor's favorite is the princess.
This made the concubines have a desperate desire to give birth to a princess.
After all, it is too risky to give birth to a prince.
So many people are fighting for a throne, if they lose, it will be a lifeless thing.
But the princess is different.
The princess is no threat to those princes, and she will even be the object of their desire to woo them.
In addition, it is rumored that the emperor likes princesses, and if he can become a second concubine by virtue of his mother's daughter......
All in all, the idea was perfect.
Later, it was not without concubines that a princess was born.
It's just that the emperor's performance is mediocre, and he doesn't see how much he likes it.
That's when the rumors dissipated.
There was a creaking sound, interrupting his thoughts for a long time.
After a long time, he saw the gloomy emperor coming out of it, and there was no one around him.
The emperor was really angry to the extreme, and the concubines didn't dare to approach, just afraid that if one of them accidentally said the wrong thing, he would lose his life.
"All the maids and eunuchs in the palace of the virtuous concubine will be killed!"
The Emperor said angrily.
"A bunch of useless things, they can't even protect their masters, so what are they kept?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of people knelt down and kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy.
These people are the palace maids and eunuchs who work in the palace of the virtuous concubine.
In the end, except for the two maidservants who had been with Concubine Xian for decades, the others died.
The emperor had the local execution.
An Dehuai led a large group of eunuchs to bring the benches.
A crackling sound resounded throughout the courtyard.
The screams were incessant.
Most of the concubines who were watching were a little unsightly.
But at this time, they didn't dare to speak out, let alone leave.
Even the most arrogant concubine in the past just skimmed her head at this time and stopped looking.
The screams gradually weakened, and one by one they lost their breath.
But the crackling sound continued.
The emperor said three hundred times, and there was no less.
Red blood dripped onto the ground.
It seeped through the small patch of dirt, and it looked dark red from a distance.
It took almost two teas to complete, and the three hundred strokes were finally executed.
An Dehuai directly ordered the eunuchs to drag the corpse away.
As for where it was sent, needless to say, it must be a mass grave.
This is the final destination of most of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who were killed by their masters.
The emperor also witnessed the whole process.
He watched with a dark and calm face until the execution was over, and the emperor's gaze swept over the concubines and half a long time.
Finally, he snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.
An Dehuai hurriedly followed.
The emperor left, and the rest of the concubines looked at each other for a long time.
Looking at each other's faces with the same paleness and fear.
They didn't say anything, and finally dispersed silently.
—
Half a long time ready to start investigating this matter.
It's just that in less than a day, another revelation came out.
The crown prince was arrested.
It is said that the death of the second prince was committed by him.
The emperor personally ordered An Dehuai to go with a group of Praetorian Guards.
Directly caught the crown prince Xiao Zhen in the East Palace.
And Xiao Zhen was imprisoned that night.
This is a complete determination that the murderer is Xiao Zhen.
However, it was not the case for half a long time to know the truth.
Because the system does not say that the task is completed, it means that the prince may have something to do with this matter, but he is by no means the final murderer.
—
It's the first day of the new year again.
According to the rules, the emperor had to stay in the queen's dormitory on this day.
Even though there were many things blocking this day, the emperor still came here for a long time.
When the emperor was about to step into the Fengyi Palace, the secret guards in the shadows immediately rushed to report the news.
Meng Jinxiao didn't care about anything else, so he left the court and came here.
—
"The queen mother said that you should conceive the prince earlier."
The emperor looked at it for a long time with a little disgust in his eyes.
This man is very good-looking, and his face is better than any of the concubines in his harem.
But the emperor loves power more than beauty.
The existence of this person seems to remind him all the time that he is not really a royal blood.
He was just a child that the Queen Mother casually picked up when she was in a hurry.
If it weren't for the events of those years, he might just be a commoner.
Even if these are the facts, but he can't accept it for a lifetime!
It's just that......
The Queen Mother found him a few days ago.
The two talked calmly.
As long as Chu Weiyue is pregnant with the prince.
Then even if he wanted to kill Chu Weiyue, the Queen Mother would not say a word more.
This sentence made his heart move.
He really needed a royal blood to inherit his throne now.
But at the same time, he was afraid that this royal blood would take away his power.
If Chu Weiyue died, and the little prince was raised by him since he was a child, and he didn't know what happened back then, then his position would be at ease.
The Emperor already had a set of plans in mind.
But under this premise, Chu Weiyue must be pregnant.
So this time he pushed aside other important things and rushed here.
"Mast Moon." Thinking about her life, the emperor's tone softened.
"Now that the crown prince has reached adulthood, and he is eyeing the throne, he does not hesitate to mutilate his siblings for this, I really can't wait......"
