Chapter 17: Palace Change (2)
Xiao Qi, who was lying on his highness, suddenly kowtowed to his heart.
"Your Majesty's forgiveness Your Majesty's forgiveness, it was the concubine Niangniang who deceived the ministers and said that this thing was not fatal, otherwise how could the subordinates dare to poison the prince's diet, the concubine Niangniang said, give His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince a little less to reduce the suspicion, and it will not harm health, Your Majesty, this is all the instigation of the concubine!"
Concubine Xiao Shufei's eyes widened in disbelief, no matter how the subordinates accused her, she was not afraid, but she didn't expect her beloved nephew to say the same. She opened her mouth and didn't know what to say, there was such a ridiculous thing in the world!
"Xiao Qi, when you were a child, this palace treated you well, if it weren't for this palace, you would have been beaten by your brother many times, and now, how can you be so kind to this palace, you raise your head! Look at Hongu! You look at Hongu and say! Did Hongu tell you to do it? ”
Xiao Qi didn't raise his head, but shrank tighter.
"Concubine Shu, if my nephew didn't believe that Concubine Shuniang would put himself in this dangerous place, Concubine Shuniang would confess, so as not to affect the Xiao family!"
Xiao Qi moved out of Xiao's house, as if he wanted to remind Concubine Xiao Shu.
How can Concubine Xiao sit still and wait to die, today's events are full of strangeness, even if she is a ghost, she can't be the unjustly killed ghost!
Just as he wanted to speak, Xiao Jingzhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department outside the palace, asked to see him.
Sisi didn't seem to be able to turn her head here, she asked the fourth prince with her eyes, and the four princes only comforted him with their eyes.
Xiao Jingzhi strode into the inner hall, and after a hasty salute, a big slap slapped Xiao Qi's face.
"Bastard, you're guilty!"
"Daddy, Daddy, you save me... Dad, aunt, aunt she won't admit it, Dad, Your Majesty will kill me... ”
When Xiao Qi saw that Xiao Jingzhi was coming, he seemed to have enough confidence and cried even louder.
Concubine Xiao Shu walked to His Royal Highness, knelt on the ground and cried pear blossoms with rain. When her brother came, she must have come to intercede for herself, and His Majesty pampered herself, and she will be safe today.
"Your Majesty, the concubine didn't do it, please believe in the concubine, the concubine really didn't do it."
"Is the lady going to give up her nephew to keep your position as a lady?"
I didn't expect Xiao Jingzhi to say this. "When you are still young, you are naturally the only one who is the aunt, but when the incident happened in the east window, the lady concubine wanted to protect herself and throw away her nephew as an outcast!"
Xiao Jingzhi's words were so loud that everyone in the hall didn't seem to expect him to say this.
Concubine Xiao Shufei can't wash herself even if she jumps into the Yellow River like this, even if she has eight mouths, her own brother says so, who else will believe her?
Concubine Xiao Shuzhi was suddenly stunned, she hugged Xiao Jingzhi's thigh, her eyes widened, and she shook her head in disbelief.
"How could my brother say that, and my brother doesn't believe my little sister anymore? , there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, please ask my brother to intercede with His Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter. ”
Concubine Xiao knew by this time that the general trend had gone.
She just didn't understand, she had always done her best for the Xiao family, and worked hard to keep the Xiao family full of glory, she always thought that she and the Xiao family were both prosperous and lossy, and never thought that one day the Xiao family would abandon her. What's more, she gave birth to the six princes, and she is Your Majesty's favorite concubine! But she can still be easily abandoned.
Xiao Jingzhi's waist was straight, and his eyes never looked at it.
"Your Majesty, although the dog made a big mistake, it can be seen that Weichen has come to lose his face lightly, Weichen has never asked His Majesty, this time, please feel sorry for a poor father!"
Xiao Jingzhi knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and then turned his head to Xihe to apologize.
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, for the sake of the princess and the county lord, forgive the dogs."
After speaking, Xiang Xihe kowtowed three times in a row, Sisi was startled, and was busy on the stool, quietly twisting his buttocks sideways.
Obediently, how can a person of such an age kowtow to himself? This is not a long life!!
Xi He hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Jingzhi.
"Lord Xiao, please hurry up, at this time, it is still up to Your Majesty to decide, Lord Xiao should not be like this."
"This palace doesn't know that in this Wolong Palace, does Lord Xiao have the final say, does Lord Xiao not exist when His Majesty?"
The pure concubine's cool voice is like a poisonous snake, and it has always been pervasive.
"Don't blame the concubine, Weichen knows that this must be decided by His Majesty, and Weichen won't say anything more."
Xiao Jingzhi really stepped aside and didn't say a word.
The emperor groaned twice, looked at Concubine Xiao Shu, who was kneeling and sitting, and Xiao Qi, who was lying in a ball, and frowned.
He held out two fingers and pointed at Xiao Qi.
"Nian Xiao Aiqing's hard work, you can take this Xiao Qi back, but you have cut your official position, and you will not be allowed to go to the office in the future, go, take it back."
The emperor also seemed to be tired, and he couldn't see any expression on his face, so he waved his hand impatiently.
Xiao Qi was overjoyed, crawled forward with his hands and feet and kowtowed to thank him, and followed Xiao Jingzhi home without looking at Concubine Xiao Shu. It's no exaggeration to describe that posture as a stream of fart.
There was silence in the hall again, and only the voice of Concubine Xiao Shufei could be heard sobbing in a low voice.
"Concubine Shu, murdering the emperor's heir, depriving her title, demoting herself to a talented person, imprisoned in the Luoying Palace, and not being summoned to come out."
Concubine Shu sat on the cold ground, unable to accept this fact.
Emperor Fu picked up the teacup again, the water in the cup was cold again, he put down the teacup, twisted the wrench in his hand twice, and planned to leave first. When he crossed the main hall, he took a deep look at the four princes.
"These two people, kill with a rod!"
It was as if the words weighing a thousand pounds came out of the emperor's mouth, and they were so light.
Immediately the voice of forgiveness sounded in the hall.
Sisi, who witnessed everything, couldn't help but shudder, and when she raised her head to see the fifth princess, she also shivered.
"Son-in-law, send your majesty!"
"Concubines send your majesty!"
After the emperor left, several eunuchs immediately picked up Xiao Cairen, who had fallen to the ground and had not yet reacted, and withdrew.
"Fourth brother, today's scenery."
The three princes watched from the sidelines but didn't say a word, and the first sentence they said was the one they said to the four princes.
"The third brother laughed, how can the fourth brother have any good scenery."
The third prince didn't say anything more, patted the fourth prince on the shoulder and left.
Sisi also followed Xi He out of the inner hall. Rubbing the stiff ass he made, he quietly kicked his legs.
"Thank you for your Royal Highness the Four Princes today, if it weren't for the Four Princes, my orphans and widows wouldn't know who was going to harm them." Xihe sincerely thanked Li Yunche, although this 'fourth brother' is not noticeable, and he often can't see him, but he didn't know why he helped himself today, since he was helping, he had to thank him well. "When you have time in the coming day, come to my princess's mansion, and I will entertain you with good tea and wine."
"Princess Xi and the princess are serious, this is what the younger brother should do."
After speaking, he quietly stuffed something into Sisi's hand.
Sisi clenched subconsciously.
When they went out, Sisi and the five princesses nodded to each other, but the five princesses didn't say anything, and when they left the palace gate, they summoned the maids standing in the distance to go back to the palace.
This fifth princess is interesting, although I don't know which palace she is from and who the mother is, but I like her quite a lot. When she was in the palace, the fifth princess seemed to be extremely sympathetic to Concubine Xiao Shu, but she also knew her identity, and she wanted to speak several times, but after all, she didn't say anything.
The fourth prince sent Xi and Sisi to the palace gate to make a carriage, at this time it had rained and the sky was clear, and the water vapor on the ground was steaming, sweeping away the dullness when it came, but Sisi's heart was still not happy, although the person who harmed himself was punished, but Sisi still felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't figure it out, so he held the paper ball tightly in his hand, and subconsciously kneaded it round and flattened.
Zhu Qing leaned on the side of the carriage and took a nap, looking from a distance, like another Sisi.
Sisi has always sighed, is it a servant to the master, he and Zhuqing really look more and more alike.
Sisi walked into the carriage with a big grin, and Zhuqing saw the four princes and asked Sisi with his eyes.
"Zhu Qing, I've seen His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." Sisi yawned, put down this sentence and got into the carriage.
Zhu Qing also saluted the four princes, and the four princes exchanged a few words with Xi He, and the carriage finally drove on the wide road to heaven again.
In this palace, it's really uncomfortable.
Sisi didn't want to enter the palace anymore anyway, but the fifth princess fell in love with her, and if she wanted to escape from this iron cage, she might be able to help her.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, Sisi could never change the problem of sleeping in the carriage.
The wind lifted the curtains of the carriage slightly, and the streets gradually became lively after the rain. The smell of meat buns in his nose, Sisi knew that he was passing by Sanshi Street.
The city of Kyoto seems to be bustling with activity all the time, and no one knows what kind of great changes have taken place in the palace just now, children are still crying, the academy is still in class, and even their own shops are still overcrowded. Only Sisi and the others knew that a forty-year-old woman was drawn into prison at the height of her grace, and it seemed impossible to see the light of day again for the rest of her life.
In the harem, I laughed yesterday, cried today, and I don't know when I will die tomorrow. In this iron cage, the emperor wants you to live, you can't beg for death, the emperor wants you to die, and you can't live five watches.
With such a sharp life, if you give yourself a life, can you live as decently as a pure concubine, or like Concubine Xiao Shu, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.
I used to think that the emperor who was not kind and terrible could easily take people's lives with a wave of his hand, but he may really underestimate the world.
