"I never thought that there would be such a vicious woman, did she want to ruin my great abyss?!"

The roar of Shouchang Hall came out of the room, and the eunuchs and guards waiting at the door were silent, but Zhao Gonggong looked leisurely, as if he was sure that Emperor Wen Jingyuan's anger would soon dissipate.

Sure enough, after a few moments, no more roars came.

"It's okay for the emperor to be calm and the concubine to be bold and reckless, but you have to take care of the dragon body, there is always a way to calm down the harem no matter how chaotic the former dynasty is, and the emperor can make the world peaceful for a long time if he is not chaotic!" Lan Zhirong stood beside the dragon couch, shaking a feather fan with one hand and wiping the fine beads of sweat from Wen Jingyuan's forehead with the other, her tone revealing worry and worry.

Wen Jingyuan's body is getting weaker and weaker, and he will sweat when he sits dry in summer, and every time at this time, the intimate Concubine Yun will stand aside and silently fan the wind and wipe his sweat, Rao is dragon anger is in full swing, Wen Jingyuan is also not angry with such a gentle and virtuous concubine, so he has to keep sighing heavily to relieve the depression in his chest.

"Your Majesty, this is the lily and white lotus soup boiled by the concubine herself, which has the effect of clearing the fire and regulating the qi. The concubine knew that the emperor was so angry that she couldn't eat, but she asked the emperor to drink a few sips of this soup, even if it was thin noodles for the concubine. Putting down the feather fan sweat towel, Lan Zhirong picked up the soup cup and held it in front of Wen Jingyuan with both hands.

Concubine Yun's good cooking skills are known in the harem, and Ping Su Wen Jingyuan is most willing to eat the food and soup she cooks, although she is angry in her heart at this time, she can't bear to see Lan Zhirong's disappointed expression, hesitate for a moment and then take the soup cup, raise her head and drink it all.

The lily white coupling soup is sweet and light, and I don't feel tired of drinking it, and a few lily lotus petals float on it, and there are no other condiments, but there is a kind of magical effect that makes people gradually calm. Wen Jingyuan sat down for a while after drinking the soup, and gradually the anger in his heart relaxed, and the indescribable comfort and relaxation of his body drove away the anger, and the anger dissipated.

"If all the concubines could understand and care for me as much as you do, then I wouldn't have so many troubles. It's like Concubine Ping, I usually treat her well, although I don't have much luck, I have never been short of her food and clothing, how can I ......" Wen Jingyuan sighed, as if he was full of bitterness.

Lan Zhirong obediently sat on the half-couch floor, and gently leaned on Wen Jingyuan's knee with a side face: "The concubine is also responsible for this matter." At that time, the emperor expelled the concubines who colluded with the imperial concubine, and someone had already reminded the concubine that Concubine Ping was also from the imperial concubine's side, but the concubine was indecisive and always worried about her sisters, and in the end, she couldn't tell the emperor the news, so it led to a big mistake now. The concubine knew that her life was not enough to make up for it, and she only hoped that the emperor would give the concubine a chance to make meritorious contributions, otherwise the concubine would not be at ease for the rest of her life. ”

"She did it, what does it have to do with you?" Wen Jingyuan lowered his hand, and his thick and hard fingers shuttled between Lan Zhirong's black hair and green silk, "I know your kindness best, you always take the sins of others on yourself, which makes those ignorant concubines repeatedly bully you." Gonggong Zhao has already inquired back from the palaces, and Concubine Ping often complains privately because she is not favored by me, and even brazenly threatens to make me regret it, but I didn't expect her to be so stupid and stupid, and actually use the affairs of the two countries as a means of revenge. Alas, it was my negligence in discipline that made me nervous now. ”

"But Concubine Ping was quiet in the past, who would have thought that she would get drunk with Princess Nanqing and the emperor and take the opportunity to do such a foolish thing? The concubine always wondered, could it be that someone instigated and instigated behind her back to make Concubine Ping make a big mistake? In this matter, the emperor should be more cautious, don't wronged Concubine Ping, and don't let go of the villain behind him. ”

Lan Zhirong's words made Wen Jingyuan can't help but think back to that embarrassing night.

Concubine Ping, who rarely took the initiative that night, suddenly came to the dormitory, saying that she couldn't sleep happily after the banquet, and she had to have a few drinks with him. Wen Jingyuan usually favored Concubine Yun, and he owed some of the other concubines, so he drank two more glasses without refusing, but he was so drunk that he didn't know anything except who he remembered to suppress to vent his desires; When I opened my eyes again, I saw that Zhao Gonggong looked panicked, and at the door of the dormitory was standing the disheveled Princess Nanqing, who seemed to have lost her soul.

The crown princess of a neighboring country, who was discussing marriage and friendship, was insulted by herself, and this kind of thing would not only be laughed at and scolded by others, but also the relationship between the two countries would not be able to be reconciled.

Thinking of this, Wen Jingyuan couldn't help but feel chills all over his body, a slight coolness surging on his scalp, and his face became more and more gloomy.

"The matter has come to this, I can only try my best to compensate and redeem it, but the slut of Concubine Ping can't be spared, whether it is instigated by someone in the dark or she is crazy because of jealousy, I must find out!" With a heavy slap on his hand, Wen Jingyuan got up suddenly, and his anger surged again, "You go to the prison with me, Concubine Ping, I will interrogate you personally." ”

Lan Zhirong bowed down in response, and a cold smile reflected on the smooth stone floor.

Since the last time more than a dozen concubines plotted to "assassinate" Concubine Yun was investigated, the prison soon ushered in other noble concubines, and the cell head who had already been instructed by Gonggong Zhao cleaned up the prison, and kept hunching her waist when the emperor arrived, telling how kind Concubine Yun was, and never treating other sisters harshly or falling into the well.

Wen Jingyuan listened to these words in his ears and remembered them in his heart, but on the surface he remained silent, pacing to the cell where Concubine Ping was being held and standing still, his cold gaze fixed on Concubine Ping who was dying.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ping has confessed this morning, this is a confession." The cell boss trembled and offered a confession that had already been drawn and confessed, and a bright red fingerprint was particularly striking. The cell head turned around and looked at Concubine Ping, who was whining but did not speak, and swallowed his saliva fiercely: "Several palace maids who served Concubine Ping also confessed, it turned out that Concubine Ping had not been favored by the emperor for a long time, and she was itchy and unbearable, so she ate with a eunuch, and the eunuch was killed by the emperor with a rod due to negligence at the beginning of the year, and Concubine Ping held a grudge, so——"

"Enough!" Wen Jingyuan interrupted sharply, glanced at the confession hastily and then crumpled and discarded it, a pair of eyes full of cold light, squinting slightly towards the cell.

Concubines and eunuchs eat against each other, which is the greatest insult to the king of a country.

Waving his hand to signal the cell boss to go out first, Wen Jingyuan summoned Zhao Gonggong, his expression was grim and cold: "How should all those who know about this matter deal with it, you look at it, I don't want unfavorable rumors to spread in the harem." Also, pass on my will, remove the concubine and concubine, give a pot of wine, and not be buried after death, and the bones will be sent to the Jingkong Temple for incineration. In addition, Yu Nanlin's family was investigated for the crime of poor upbringing, and all the officials within three generations of the nine clans were dismissed from their posts and their families, and all their direct blood relatives were sent to the south and exiled, and they were not allowed to enter the imperial capital forever. ”

Concubine Ping, who had given up struggling, heard that her relatives had been affected, and her limbs, which had been shackled to bloody flesh and blood, writhed desperately, and a hoarse and strange tone came out of her throat, her face was full of tears mixed with blood and crackling, and there was hatred, pain, and remorse in her eyes, but she couldn't speak.

"Crazy? It's okay, otherwise I don't know how much trouble you slut will cause! Wen Jingyuan held back his anger and sneered, completely gave up the interrogation plan, and turned around to leave.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is angry." Lan Zhirong hurriedly stopped in front of Wen Jingyuan, bowed and begged, "Concubine Ping is also the emperor's person, even if the emperor can't forgive her, at least let her go cleanly." The concubine was courageous, and begged the emperor to give the concubine a chance, so that the concubine could clean up for Concubine Ping, and the underworld would go, and Concubine Ping would be able to think of the emperor a little better. ”

"You-" Wen Jingyuan was furious, looking at Lan Zhirong's sad expression but helpless, he had to shake his hand heavily and sigh, "That's it, whatever you want." You can't change your kind nature. Father-in-law Zhao, you are here with Concubine Yun, be careful not to let her be bitten by a mad dog! ”

"The slave understands, although the emperor can rest assured."

When Gonggong Zhao sent Wen Jingyuan away and turned back to the prison, Lan Zhirong had already opened the door of the cell and went in, grabbed Concubine Ping's long hair with one hand, and forced her to look up, but she didn't know what to say.

"Mother, you haven't opened it yet!"

Zhao Gonggong whispered a reminder and stepped forward quickly, pulled out a key from the inconspicuous hole in the corner of the cell, and stretched out his half-hanging neck to the neck of the half-hung Ping Guifei slightly, opened the iron cuffs tied to the neck of Ping Guifei with a click, and suddenly rushed out of the cell with a terrible wail.

The restraints of the Yuanguo Heavenly Prison are divided into three parts: wrists, feet, and necks, and the same is true of the restraints of Concubine Ping, yes, and Wen Jingyuan didn't particularly care about it just now, and when Gonggong Zhao untied the iron cuffs on Concubine Ping's neck, the difference of this pair of restraints was revealed-Generally speaking, the neck restraints are smooth and round, only used for restraint and restriction, and the pair firmly bound around the neck of Concubine Ping looks no different from others, but there are a few more solid protrusions inside, and these protrusions just press the throat of Concubine Ping when the iron cuffs are locked, so that she will not suffocate to death, But he couldn't speak.

Of course, Lan Zhirong won't let her speak, and as soon as she speaks, all the designs will have to be goofed.

Concubine Ping, who was finally able to speak, looked like crazy, and cried loudly: "Changyun, you slut! It was you who told the emperor that the palace liked the princess of Nanqing! You said that the emperor asked me to arrange this scene! You also said that afterwards, the emperor would make me the imperial concubine and give me a reward...... You slut! Swindler! You dare to frame Hongu...... You, you don't die well! ”

"It's ridiculous, do you believe me?" Lan Zhirong pursed her lips seductively, her thin white fingertips swept across the blood stains on Concubine Ping's cheeks, and she leaned over and whispered, "Concubine Ping, Sister Ping, I have never seen someone as stupid as you, thinking that if I give you some benefits and then pretend to please you, I will take refuge in you?" There are a lot of smart people in this harem, even if I want to find a backer, it won't be a stupid woman like you who has no status and no brains, why can't you figure it out? Hey, I blame you for being too greedy, as long as the premise is to make you the imperial concubine, you will believe whatever I say, you dare to design the Nanqing princess and the emperor without even knowing my name and identity, it's really stupid to death, ahaha! ”

Lan Zhirong laughed wildly, but Concubine Ping had nowhere to complain, her beautiful eyes were full of hatred, and her lips were dripping with blood.

The harem is ruthless, only endlessly exploited and dumped, and the proud concubine always feels that she is superhuman, but she doesn't want to be used, she loses her life and affects her relatives, and even makes Dayuan fall into the hands of the adulterous concubine and minister, but now it's too late, all you can do is close your eyes and cry.

What's the use of crying?

Carrying an empty charge and committing a huge mistake, Concubine Ping naturally understood that she had fallen into a desperate situation and had no way out, and gradually stopped crying after Lan Zhirong went rampantly, and the dead heart that had lost hope revived again due to monstrous hatred, and became more calm and clear after being dominated by hatred.

"My lord, my lord......" Concubine Ping called the cell head weakly, seeing that the cell boss ignored it, her tone was more pleading, "I implore the lord to come in and say a few words to me, there is only good for the adult and no harm, as long as the adult is willing to help, I can give you whatever the adult wants!" ”

The huge gap between the concubines who used to be high and invincible, and now the prisoners who are lowly and begging for death, the huge gap makes the cell boss feel faintly happy, and he hears the word benefit, and his determination to be loyal to Concubine Yun is slowly shaken.

"Shout what to shout! Can't you keep your mouth shut when you're dying? Look at what benefits you can give Lao Tzu now? Beware of Lao Tzu's slap to kill you......"

The cell boss muttered and cursed, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, took off the cell key on his waist, opened the cell door, and went in.
