Chapter 210: Choice
"Chang Yonggui, bring people up." The emperor's voice was a little majestic. The wrench of a tourmaline that he was playing with between his hands seemed to be extremely irritable.
When the people came up, Chang Yonggui bowed slowly and cautiously and asked for instructions: "The emperor Kang Guiren took off the hairpin and waited outside the heart cultivation hall to be punished, but do you want to declare her into the palace?" ”
The queen and Concubine Zhuang only looked at the beautiful nobleman kneeling in front of them, and when they heard this, both of them showed displeasure and disdain.
"It's the jade concubine who was stabbed to death by the Li nobles, so what are the Kang nobles doing to make a fuss?" The queen glanced at the catkins kneeling in front of the emperor in disgust, and her disdain did not decrease: "On the occasion of the New Year, such a confusing thing happened. The concubine is really ashamed of the emperor. After saying that, the queen got up and knelt lightly to plead guilty: "The concubine failed to share the worries for the emperor, and the sisters of the harem were taught by the good students, and they really blamed themselves, so please ......."
"That's it!" The emperor's dragon palm slammed into the octagonal openwork Xianglong table at hand, and with a bang, the queen's gorgeous face was shocked, and even the tears of guilt were taken back. "The queen's words made my ears calloused when I heard them. If you want to plead guilty, you should wait for me to figure out the whole story before it is too late. You have peace of mind, and it is indispensable for you to receive sin. ”
Ruyue's heart couldn't help but tremble, at least in front of herself and the other concubines, the emperor had never counted the queen like this. What made the emperor angry, was it just to feel sorry for Concubine Yu?
But after thinking about it, Ruyue didn't think it would be like this, after all, the emperor had never been affectionate to Concubine Yu at all!
Concubine Zhuang was also suspicious, but remembered something: "Concubine Yu went to pray for blessings, shouldn't she be accompanied by minions?" At least Roland's girl should be there! Don't you know? ”
"Back to Concubine Zhuang's words, Roland was also stabbed, and he was still unconscious, and he couldn't ask for a while." Chang Yonggui responded on the side, and he was also surprised that this thing was sudden, which was really confusing.
Ruyue took advantage of the fact that everyone was flustered, and looked at Li Guiren. She just knelt like that, her hands supporting her body, and the calm made people a little stunned. "Go and pass on the nobles to come in." To pry open the mouth of the noble lady and let her open her mouth to tell the truth, I am afraid that it is only possible to recognize the truth of the noble person.
In fact, Ruyue's heart has long been torn apart, but her hatred runs through the blood of her whole body, supporting her to find out the truth, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels full of strength.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is the concubine's sister Yushu, and she is also the mother of a child who has not yet been born. to comfort my sister's spirit in heaven. Ruyue's eyes flashed with unusually poignant tears, and whoever saw it would soften his heart and promise.
But the emperor didn't answer for a moment.
Is it for the sake of the child in the womb? Ruyue was afraid that the emperor would worry about her body, so she didn't give permission, so she thought about asking again. But for Chang Yonggui's afterglow, Ruyue clearly felt that he was signaling himself - don't care! What's going on here?
The mystery in her heart has not been solved, and Ruyue only feels more strange. But no matter what happened, it couldn't stop her determination to find out the truth about the death of the Jade Princess! Thinking about it like this, Ruyue couldn't care so much, and insisted on kneeling on the ground to ask the emperor for favors.
"Your Majesty, if the concubine has a body...... Chang Yonggui knew that although the emperor was angry, he couldn't bear to kneel like this.
After pondering for a long time, the emperor finally nodded: "Help the concubine up." ”
Ruyue was still grateful for her kindness, and only then calmed down her heart, and instructed Chang Yonggui: "Please ask the noble Kang to come in, and then pass on the stone imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Luo Lan." In addition, the ...... of the Jade Concubine The corpses and the Qin'an Hall will also be examined. ”
"Huh." Chang Yonggui couldn't remind Concubine Rugui to be careful, so he could only do what she told him. I just hope that for the sake of the dragonborn, the emperor will not be angry with her, and she is finally lucky.
Kang Guiren's cloak was brought up by the inner servant, and he was silent, and tears fell irrepressibly.
He Huan took the opportunity to help the queen get up, and then gave up his position to this Kang nobleman, and knelt in front of the holy car with Li Guiren.
"It's strange how a murderer is neatly dressed and his face is calm, but this innocent man has red and swollen eyes and cries like a tearful man." Concubine Zhuang had already wiped away her tears and looked at the two Liu sisters present calmly. "I believe that the emperor and Ru Guifei want to know what is going on, which of you will talk first?"
Li Guiren did not move at all, only propped up his hands on the ground, as if he had accepted such a result. But Kang Guiren sobbed again and again, and only said after a long time: "Your Majesty, the concubines are willing to bear all the blame for Susu, so you can spare Susu!" She was just confused for a while, so she couldn't resist her anger and killed Concubine Yu by mistake. Even if you want to execute your concubine, Mianmian is willing to take responsibility for her sister. Let me pay for the Jade Concubine with my life! ”
"Manga said that you don't have this qualification, even if you die, you won't be able to compensate for anything. You return my jade lady, you return my jade lady......" The fourth elder brother suddenly struggled and pounced on him and beat him. After all, he is still a child, where will he hide his sadness.
Ruyue really wanted to hug him and cry bitterly, but she pitied his true feelings: "Fourth elder brother, if you really want Yu Niangniang to rest in peace, don't be so impulsive." ”
Glancing at the queen, Ruyue realized that she had already been dead. In a trance, Ruyue suddenly had some doubts, could it be that the queen wanted to recapture the fourth elder brother, so she teamed up with Kang Guiren to kill the jade concubine? "Come, come to Ru Niangniang."
Seeing that Ru Guifei beckoned to him, the fourth elder brother rubbed his eyes, glared at the Liu sisters resentfully, and walked over reluctantly.
At that moment, the queen also stretched out her arms, but Mianxin still threw herself into Ruyue's arms, and there was another heart-rending cry.
"Liu Wu, this palace came to ask you, what happened in the Qin'an Palace, and how did Concubine Yu die?" Ruyue held back her tears and asked coldly: "If you still refuse to say, this palace will immediately give you death and accompany Concubine Yu on the road." ”
"The concubine is willing to die." Li Guiren was disheartened, her gentle gaze no longer had the pride of the past, she really didn't know what she had gained in this life! At this time, all I can remember in my mind is sourness and bitterness.
I really want to end this, don't let yourself be so tired, how good it would be!
"Don't, such as the noble concubine, please let the concubine replace the sin. Please......" Kang Guiren pounced towards Ruyue, and stroked Ruyue's upper with both hands: "The concubine and Susu have been dependent on each other since childhood, I can't watch my sister die, the concubine is willing to take the blame for my sister, please forgive my sister if you are a concubine!" ”
Kang Guiren cried and complained, and his voice was full of emotion, which made people's hearts moved. Ruyue almost touched her heart, but unfortunately she saw it very accurately. "Your Majesty, since Kang Guiren loves his sister so much, the concubine begs her to be allowed to bear the responsibility for the crime on behalf of Li Guiren."
The queen was stunned, and retorted: "How can this be! If this precedent had been set and everyone would have been able to follow suit, would not all the guilty be exempt from punishment? Just spend money to dredge up and buy back a scapegoat, and everything will be fine. Where does the ancestral family law exist, and where is the law and discipline? Isn't it a great fallacy in the world! The concubine was the first to refuse, and hoped that the emperor would think twice. ”
The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Kang Guiren, and his gaze swept over Li Guiren, sweeping the queen's cheeks before he looked at Ruyue.
Kang Guiren only felt that the cold wind was poured into his bones, and he was frozen unconscious in an instant, so he was like a concubine, and he dared to promise. is still making nonsense in front of the emperor, does she really know the truth? But will the emperor approve such nonsense?
Panic, fear, mixed with Sisi's repeated remorse, Kang Guiren was a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, there was one last plan, she suddenly pressed her chest, her face turned dark blue, and she glanced at Li Guiren in pain.
"Your Majesty, the concubines only ask one person to bear the responsibility, please don't be angry with others." Li Guiren finally spoke, still not for life but for death.
The emperor suddenly felt a lot of pity for his bright eyes, and the turmoil in the harem has never been broken, it was like this in the past, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future. It is better to believe it seriously than the second time, which makes you physically and mentally exhausted.
Ask yourself, it's not that the emperor can't understand, Ruyue has always been so calm and arrogant, but she has never done anything to make her sad. On the contrary, she always blindly wronged herself and fulfilled the harmony of the harem.
Thinking of this, the emperor finally nodded: "Since I have promised that Concubine Ru will have full authority to handle this matter, everything depends on your own will." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ruyue's heart became hot, like a flame blazing: "Chang Yonggui, drag Kang Guiren out and reward Ling Chi." ”
