Chapter 316: Atonement
In the dormitory, He Qisheng was ordered to investigate the matter thoroughly, and was about to kowtow to thank him, when the emperor suddenly shouted: "I heard that you and Concubine Xian are distant relatives?" β
"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" He Qisheng hurriedly kowtowed, "The situation is urgent, and the lower officials have no choice but to -"
"I said you were a distant relative of Concubine Xian, and you are." The Emperor affirmed, his yellowed eyes like amber beads rolling through a layer of pulp, so bright and bright that people did not dare to refute it.
"Yes."
The emperor showed a smile: "I have treated Concubine Xian badly over the years, and there are not many relatives in the He family, so you can be trusted." β
He Qisheng seemed to understand something, and knocked his head twice: "Your Majesty trusts, and it will be difficult to repay the minister's death!" β
"This matter can be blown out of the wind, after all...... If Zhaoxu hadn't had an accident back then, the current Concubine Xian would have lived in Kunde Palace for many years. The Emperor's words were like putting an end to everything.
It turns out that His Majesty has already planned.
Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy, and no one expected the emperor's hand.
The queen hanged herself, and the first thing she did was not to investigate the case, but to quickly restore Concubine Xian Zhaoxue's reputation while letting Concubine Xian live in Kunde Palace, and also handed over the affairs of the six palaces to her.
Concubine Xian has been crazy for many years, her body is not good, and she is not familiar with things, so she summoned Yuling back to the palace to help.
I believe that in the near future, Yu Ling's identity will change from a concubine to a real concubine, once it is done, Qin Shao only needs to be recorded in the name of Concubine Xian, and he will become a legitimate prince again.
Your Majesty's thoughts are not indispensable.
"But after so many rumors, can Your Majesty still believe that King Yu is innocent and that the prince is innocent?" Lord Chen was deeply worried, but the boss could see it: "The marriage has been decided, and the Chen family has no choice." β
There are many others who think the same way as him.
Qin Shao has been in charge of the government for a long time, and many wall grasses have now pinched more or less handles, not to mention as deep-rooted as King Rong, but it is not something that can be easily shaken. Now that the emperor just wants to set up another queen, not another prince, of course she is not in a hurry.
However, there is still one last person in the current case who has not been cooked.
Princess Rong's mother and daughter.
Concubine Rong is a person in the harem, and she has little to do with the case, and she is protected by Yu Ling, her sister-in-law, Qin Shao's hand can't reach out, but Princess Rong is different, she is under Qin Shao's nose, and of course under Rong Su's nose.
Before the people from the Lin Xie family arrived, Rong Su thought about getting rid of her first.
"The princess has a total of twelve lives, all of which are recruited by people in the palace, including the prince's concubines and ordinary maids, as well as ......" The little official who reported hesitated for a moment before saying: "And Lord Rong, your ...... Mother. β
Rong Su's biological mother was King Rong's serious fiancΓ©e Yin, and more or less everyone who investigated the case knew about it, so when someone confessed that Princess Rong Zeng Mingren was in Yin's decoction, he knew that this matter could not be good.
But Rong Su was clearly calm.
He had already guessed it, and he vaguely understood that his mother might have drunk the poison voluntarily, for him, for Yin Zhao.
"Murder pays for life, it is justified." Yin Zhao found Rong Su and only said that he wanted Lin's life.
Rong Su smiled: "Her son is now the son of King Rong, and he is still a princess, and he will even become a concubine immediately, Your Majesty will not really kill her." β
"What then? Do you want to let her get away with it? Yin Zhao's eyes showed a fierce light, obviously wanting to use a more brutal method.
"I don't need you to do anything," Rong Su grimaced, "I have my own way to atone for her sins." β
In the second heavy snow of winter, Rong Su knelt outside the door of King Rong's house.
"The son greets his father." He presented all the charges and a letter of resignation.
Half an hour passed, and King Rong did not respond, so Rong Su knelt straight.
He knew that he had to get through this hurdle.
To completely force the Lin family to death and let the Lin family atone for his sins, there is only one way.
"Fourth Master," Zhou Bin opened the door, and the cold and hot air inside and outside the house converged to form a white mist that whitened his brows: "Fourth Master, why is this so difficult." β
"It's nothing compared to the suffering that my mother suffered to wait for my father." Rong Su said loudly, his brow had already formed ice ballast, and his outline looked even more ice-clear.
Back then, the Yin family was grateful for the loyalty of King Rong's protector, refused to remarry, and was almost sent to the nunnery, which shows that she was a dead eye, and now her son is even worse than her.
Another half hour.
King Rong finally opened the door.
"Your letter of resignation, this king will not sign."
Rong Su had already prepared, and he raised his head: "My son can guarantee that he will never compete with his eldest brother for the throne." β
King Rong kicked him hard: "Bastard thing! β
Rong Su got up, coughing up the hot white mist but with a smile: "Father-"
"Shut up, Wicked Barrier!" King Rong scolded: "Leave the book, this king has already written one." β
Rong Su was stunned.
The father took the initiative to divorce his wife?
It's impossible, the father divorced his wife, didn't Rong Hong lose his identity as a son-in-law?
"Who is it?" Rong Su was dumbfounded, who else has the courage and ability?!
Rong Su staggered up from the ground, slid and simply escaped from King Rong's mansion and rushed to the prison of the Criminal Department.
King Rong stared at his back and scolded: "It's not a thing." But there was a slight upturn in his mouth.
The prison of the Criminal Department, Rong Su rushed to it, but it was as if nothing had happened.
"Has anyone ever visited the prison?"
"No, this noble person has never been decided, so he doesn't dare to let people visit."
"Presumptuous! You dare to hide it from me?! Rong Su scolded angrily.
The cell head knelt on the ground and trembled violently: "Don't dare to deceive adults, there is really no one to visit the prison!" β
"No one?" Could it be that his father lied to him?
No, it won't.
Rong Su looked up at the deep and dark prison passage, pacing left and right, and suddenly, a voice came from the middle: "The prisoner has committed suicide!" β
The prisoner committed suicide.
"Who?!" Rong Su asked sharply.
"Princess Rong! Princess Rong committed suicide in fear of sin! The guards who ran out of the prison shouted loudly, and Rong Su seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water in the cold winter, and his whole body was frozen.
Finally.
Revenge is avenged.
He turned around abruptly, and for a moment it seemed as if something was slowly peeling off his shoulder, and his heavy steps became lighter and lighter, lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a meteor and ran towards the East Palace.
Your Highness.
It must have been done by His Highness.
Except for His Royal Highness, no one can ask for a letter of resignation from King Rong.
No one can see the Lin family unknowingly, and threaten the future of the Xiushu and Rong Hong Rong Lan brothers and sisters, forcing the Lin family to confess their sins and commit suicide, preserving the origin of a pair of children and descendants.
"What about Your Highness?" Rong Su didn't see Qin Shao, and the guards stopped him, saying that His Royal Highness occasionally felt the wind and cold, and he couldn't see guests because he couldn't bear the wind.
Rong Su knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times.
He knelt down, hiding in the side hall and peeking at him through the pillars and paper windows Qin Shao's heart twitched, and he couldn't sit still and regretted it, what to do with him, the winter snow is so cold that the floor tiles should be so cold that his knees hurt.
"Your Highness's great grace, minister, Minggan Wunei." Rongsu's voice drifted through the howling wind.
Qin Shao couldn't sit still: "I owe it to you, what's so touching." β
She ran a few steps, and the door of the temple opened.
Rong Qing ...... Come in and sit. β
