Chapter 657: Debt

Emperor Jinghong sneered: "Because Xiao Lu's abuse of the wounded soldiers was broken because of Chu Junlan's presence, you killed Cai Yingqiu and blamed Chu Junlan as revenge." Not only that, but you also want to clear up the rumors of Xiao Lu's torture and killing. Therefore you even count me. ”

"Your Majesty, the concubines don't ......" Concubine Shugui's eyes shrank suddenly, trembling like chaff.

Emperor Jinghong said: "Do you have it, you know it in your heart, and I know it better in your heart." In the final analysis, the cause of this tragedy lies in the abuse and killing of wounded soldiers by the sixth child. ‘

His finger pointed in the direction of the six princes, and the six princes seemed to be pointed at by sharp arrows, and they couldn't help but lower their heads to avoid Emperor Jinghong's sight.

"You rely on the Cai family's financial resources and ability to do nonsense, and let Chu Junlan carry the black pot. In order to favor you, I framed Xiao Xu's daughter-in-law, so Xiao Xu used this way to accuse me. ”

Emperor Jinghong turned around, hid his tiredness in his eyes, and said softly: "You guys, what other explanation?" ”

"The father is angry, and the son is ...... Erchen did not. "The six princes knew that no matter what reason they found right now, Emperor Jinghong would not believe it.

Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Jinghong's back, and panicked in her heart.

The emperor knew what they were doing behind their backs, and his previous attitude had been ambiguous, but just looking at the emperor's attitude, it was clear that he was tired of them.

This series of things is as the emperor said, it is true that the Cai family helped Xiao Lu behind the scenes, and he will be the one who wants to discuss the prince in the future, where can such a stain be allowed? Didn't the emperor turn a blind eye before?

It's just that no one could have imagined that things would develop to this point.

Emperor Jinghong turned around and looked at the six princes and the concubine with an expressionless face.

"When the Cai family hurt their fellow clans to achieve their goals, why didn't you say you wanted revenge? If the Cai family died unjustly, then the first culprit to take is Xiao Lu, why don't you kill yourself? ”

In a word, the six princes were stunned on the spot.

Concubine Shu was also a little panicked, seeing that the emperor had murderous intent towards the six princes, she walked two steps to Emperor Jinghong, grabbed the corner of his robe and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, he doesn't have a lawyer, they are all concubines, and they are all concubines......

"Of course you're not good," Emperor Jing Hong lowered his head, looked at the woman who was kneeling and looked up at him, and said softly, "You already knew about Xiao Lu's killing for fun, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Why was it left undisciplined? If you, a mother, had begun to discipline your son a long time ago, you would not have caused these calamities to follow. ”

Concubine Shugui looked at Emperor Jinghong with red eyes, as if she was stimulated, and muttered: "It's all the concubine's fault?" It's all the concubine's fault......"

Obviously, the series of reasons that Emperor Jinghong had just analyzed had completely convinced Concubine Shugui,

After experiencing the tragedy of her mother's family being almost wiped out, and facing the emperor's disgust and her son's incompetence, Concubine Shu was almost crumbling.

Emperor Jinghong sighed lightly again: "Actually, if you say that the culprit who caused this incident, I am also one. It was I, in order to maintain Xiao Lu and quell the gossip of the courtiers, and easily let go of the torture and killing of wounded soldiers. It was I who made Xiao Lu have a fluke mentality, not only did he not know how to reflect and introspect, but also resented the person who found out his fault. ”

Turning to look at the six princes, Emperor Jinghong's voice was emotionless: "It was I who gave you the opportunity to contact the Cai family, and it was my reuse of the Cai family that made you feel fearless." In the end, for the sake of royal face, I had to suppress everything you did and let Chu Junlan carry this black cauldron. ”

Closed his eyes, Emperor Jing Hong's expression was extremely tired, he had no face to face Xu'er, he didn't know what to explain to him, in those five days, he knelt outside hungry and cold, he didn't look at him, he must have been desperate.

Thinking of that child, Emperor Jinghong was full of guilt.

The boy had no chance to be raised by his side, and he did not live well in the palace, and after he was cured, he took him with him to teach, but he saw that he was superior to others, and even his temperament was excellent. can let such a child embark on such a road of no return......

After all, it was he who forced the child into a desperate situation where there was no place to complain.

"After all, no one is clean with the two of you, as well as the Cai family," Emperor Jinghong lowered his eyes and looked at the two, "Because of my injustice, Xiao Xu rushed into the Cai family in despair, you want to take revenge, what do you want to do with a pregnant woman?" It's better to assassinate me first, and then the two of you will kill yourself, so that the Cai family's debts will be paid off together."

Emperor Jinghong's words were clear, and Concubine Shu and the six princes couldn't help but tremble.

"The concubine (son-in-law) doesn't dare!" Concubine Shu and the six princes pressed their foreheads to the ground, and they didn't dare to get up again.

Emperor Jinghong looked down at the two of them, and pondered with his hands.

The hall fell silent, except for the occasional crackling sound of the charcoal fire burning in the stove.

After a long time, Emperor Jinghong ordered: "Stand down." I'm tired. ”

Concubine Shugui and the six princes, who thought that their lives and status were difficult to protect today, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, how could they not have imagined that the emperor would take it so lightly after reprimanding him for half a day?

"Yes." The two of them trembled and retreated to the door with vain steps.

As soon as they were about to go out, Emperor Jinghong said: "I let the Chu family give birth safely, which is compensation for Xiao Xu, if you dare to touch her child's mind again." I don't take it lightly. Xiao Lu, in order to cover up your crimes, I have made your foreign family pay a painful price, if you continue to do nonsense, I don't know what the consequences will be, I hope you will do it yourself. ”

The heart of the sixth prince beat wildly, knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, the sons obey the order, and the sons thank their fathers for their teachings." ”

The medicine prescribed by Liu Yuan's envoy Chu Junlan has been used for half a month in a row, and the fetal phase has gradually stabilized, and the wound on his arm has long since scabbed, but the worry in his heart is increasing day by day.

Chu Junlan was worried, she wanted to know how Xiao Xu was doing now, he killed so many people, was he arrested, or did he escape? She has no way to know the news of the outside world at all now, and she has come out of the Cai family's affairs, but everyone who has the ability to go around Zhong Cui Palace, so that Chu Junlan wants to find out the news but has no chance.

Staying quietly in the room, stroking his slightly larger belly, Chu Junlan carefully paid attention to the occasional whispered conversation of the palace maids, so that he could get a little news from the outside world, but these news had nothing to do with Xiao Xu.

Nuo Min came to the gate of the Zhongcui Palace again, and the guards were able to stop people skillfully.

"Concubine Yu, the emperor has ordered, no one is allowed to contact Prince Gong's princess, you better go back, don't be embarrassed."

Nuo Min's face was a little pale, and his brows were furrowed with anxiety: "This palace warns you for the last time, now that this palace is uncomfortable, I want to come to ask Prince Gong and the princess to see the sick, if you stop it, once the child in this palace is bad, then don't blame the emperor of this palace for hating and suing you." ”
