Chapter 324: The Final Retribution of Good and Evil (5)
She lay on the ground, her clothes were already filthy, red and yellow, I don't know what it was, there was a disgusting smell around her, Ruyi couldn't help frowning, but He Xi didn't have the slightest reaction.
She stood firm outside the prison door, and the little eunuch stood by with great interest, keeping a distance, and could not hear them.
Gongsun Jingyi listened to the shallow footsteps, slowly turned her head, her body was whipped, she had no strength, she could only twist her head, she was already in such a strange posture, and He Xi looked at each other, suddenly, she laughed and said: "I thought that Concubine Xi had worked so hard to clear herself, but she didn't want you to come anyway, what?" Can't you just watch me die, aren't you very willing? As she spoke, she began to laugh maniacally.
The laughter was hoarse and ugly, and He Xi looked at her fixedly and said, "What conditions did that person promise you to make you so mad?" ”
Gongsun Jingyi's laughter stopped abruptly, and she frowned, "You know? You know my back—"
He Xi sneered, walked to the stone bench on the side and sat down, and said softly and slowly: "Lord Gongsun is pretentious, never forms a party for personal gain, and has a stubborn temperament, otherwise he would not have resigned and retired in anger back then, how could such a person think of participating in the battle for the throne." On the contrary, it is the people behind you who are extremely ambitious, but what they want most is the life of this palace, just because this palace is in the way of his Xiao clan in southern Xinjiang, isn't it? ”
Gongsun Jingyi didn't expect He Xi to know so clearly, she struggled to get up, sat down on the ground again, looked at He Xi with a frightened face and said, "Who are you, why do you know so clearly?" ”
She entered the palace, but Xiao Nai naturally didn't tell her the reason for the matter, she muttered: "Then why are you—why—"
She looked around hesitantly, looking wary, He Xi held her high bulging abdomen with one hand, and said: "This palace knows that it is naturally because this palace is a person from His Royal Highness King Xian, do you know why you have had an accident so far, and the people behind you have ignored you?" Although this palace doesn't know why you chose the Xiao family to cooperate, but this palace can only say that you are stupid and chose the wrong person, even if you recognize that King Xian can become a great unification, you should also stand with King Xian, right? ”
Gongsun Jingyi completely lost her strength, and the whole person seemed to be a puppet that had lost its thread, she kept shaking her head and said: "No, you must be deceiving me, no, Xiao is the henchman of King Xian, and the meaning of Xiao is the meaning of His Royal Highness King Xian——"
She suddenly hid her face and cried bitterly, and said, "No, it won't be like this, His Royal Highness King Xian-His Royal Highness King Xian-"
She suddenly struggled to get up, crawled to the cell door, and her withered hands tightly grasped the bloodstained iron door, as if begging: "I want to see His Royal Highness Xianwang, I want to see His Royal Highness Xianwang-"
From the very beginning, Gongsun Jingyi was as proud as a peacock, but at this time, she threw away all her calmness and self-esteem for the sake of that man.
He Xi suddenly understood, she hooked the corners of her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes and said: "Xiao Shi is really such a good plan, your father is a Taifu, ranked as the third duke, and the Gongsun is pure and upright, he is considered a pure minister, if the incident happens, the Prime Minister's Mansion will inevitably be implicated, Shangshu Zhao Yancheng is a widowed daughter, only you, the daughter of the Taifu, have a clean background and a noble status, and when you enter the palace in the future, you must be her Xiao Nai's fierce rival——"
He Xi told her that Gongsun Jingyi was a very smart person, but she still couldn't believe that she was so calculated, she shook her head desperately and said: "No, I-I'm for the Gongsun family-I-'s father taught the eldest prince, and it will inevitably be jealous of the new emperor, only I can keep the Gongsun family, it must be like this-it must be like this-"
Her voice gradually weakened, and her confidence became less and less, but no matter how much she denied it, the truth of the matter was here, and she was not allowed not to admit it.
He Xi looked at her like this, and felt very happy in her heart, she continued: "Now, it is you who have ruined the original glory of the Gongsun family, as a criminal concubine, you can't enter the imperial tomb, and the Gongsun family who harmed you has lost the glory of the family, naturally the Gongsun family will not recognize you, and I can't spurn you——"
Every word she uttered was like a straw pressed on a camel's body.
Bending Gongsun Jingyi's originally straight spine, she seemed to be in extreme pain, and the whole person curled up on the ground, as if trying to seek refuge, buried her head in her knees.
At this time, the little eunuch who had been letting off the wind called from afar: "Concubine Xi, there is a little eunuch who said that he has something important to find you-"
Ruyi waved his hand and let the person in, the little eunuch ignored the filth all over the ground, knelt on the ground and said: "Niangniang asked the slave to inquire about the matter The slave has already inquired, Taifu - oh, no, Gongsun Bo has been deposed and exiled, Your Majesty because there are still envoys in Beijing, allowing him to leave after half a month, and now he is confined in Gongsun Mansion, recently, I heard that Gongsun Bo invited Gongsun's relatives, opened a family ancestral hall, and crossed out the name of Gongsun Jingyi on the family tree. ”
As he spoke, he presented a thin page of paper with both hands, and through the faint light, although he couldn't see the words on it clearly, he could still see bright red fingerprints.
Gongsun Jingyi recognized, she recognized, that is clearly the mark signed and painted by the patriarch of each family when the name was removed, one was shown in two copies, one was buried under the threshold of the family ancestral hall, and the other was handed to the ministry, the former meant punishment, trampled by the clansmen all day long, and the latter meant to clear up, telling the world that her Gongsun Jingyi was no longer a member of the Gongsun family.
He Xi pinched the thin page of paper on her fingertips, as if she was looking at something very interesting, she tilted her face slightly, and said to Na Ruyi: "Go, show it to Jing Guiren—"
Ruyi heard the words and took it, Gongsun Jingyi couldn't accept it, she didn't want to admit it, a originally favored concubine, only learned people, she was the pride of the Gongsun family, but at this time she was abandoned like a shoe, she kept turning her head and evaded: "No-fake-fake-"
He Xi saw that she was still deceiving herself at this time, so she said politely: "Ruyi, read it to her——"
Ruyi's eyes were also full of hatred, and when he heard the words, he straightened up and read aloud: "The Gongsun clan has a daughter, Jingyi, who is not filial and unfilial, who cares about etiquette and law, and is ashamed of the grace of upbringing, which disgraces the clan, sues the ancestor, cuts the score and removes the name, and is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall." Author——— Gongsun Bo, Notary Public - Gongsun Yao, Gongsun Hong......"
Gongsun Jingyi couldn't stand it anymore, and blocked his ears hard and said: "Don't read it, don't read it, I beg you-father-I was wrong, I was wrong, don't you Jingyi-"
She burst into tears, vomited a mouthful of blood, and splashed a bewitching red flower on the ground.
He Xi seemed to be tired of seeing it, and summoned the little eunuch who was waiting far away and said, "Jing Guiren has committed such a heinous crime, but because she was once a sister after all, let her die with dignity." ”
As he spoke, he took Ruyi's hand and walked out, and when he passed by the copper furnace, he personally picked up a piece of lead and threw it in the hanging furnace, making a sizzling sound.
The little eunuch understood, but felt a chill down his spine, and woke up his companion who was keeping vigil with him, and said, "Get up quickly—there's an errand—"
His companion was sleeping in a daze, rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "What's wrong?" ”
The little eunuch pouted at Gongsun Jingyi's cell, and whispered: "A noble person has just come, the one over there, I'm afraid it's going to be tonight-"
His companion got up in a panic, looked around, and didn't see any nobles, so he asked curiously, "What? Tonight - didn't you say that the envoy is in Beijing now, so don't let it make too much trouble? How-"
The little eunuch also shook his head and said, "Who knows, the more Xu is concubine Niangniang thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, we are just subordinates, it doesn't matter if we do what we are told." ”
As he spoke, he nudged the man: "Get up and work, don't talk about those who have and don't." ”
The man didn't dare to slack off, he hurriedly got up and put on his coat, and said curiously: "Although there is an order from above, but how can we do it, if it is light, I am afraid of offending Concubine De, if it is heavy, if it is serious, if it is spread, Your Majesty will be unhappy, and we will also be implicated." ”
The little eunuch hurriedly whispered: "How can there be a mistake in the affairs of the nobles——"
As he spoke, he squinted at the copper basin sitting on the copper stove, and the lead block that He Xi threw in just now had already melted most of it, and it was still hissing with white smoke.
The man was stunned and said: "It turned out to be filled with lead, you must know that this hot lead water poured into it, although it can burn the internal organs, but people still can't die, and in the end, it must be because the lead poured into it condensed into a lump and fell to death——"
When he said this, he couldn't help but shudder, and then looked at the direction of Gongsun Jingyi's cell and said, "It's just a pity, such a look and conduct—"
He couldn't help rubbing his hands, couldn't help but show lewdness, and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, we-"
The little eunuch frowned dissatisfiedly, and said, "You pickled goods, that thing is gone, thinking about these things all day long." ”
Who knows that the man just said with a hippie smile: "What you said is not right, the root of the life is gone, it doesn't mean that the brain is gone, and this person will find a mass grave to throw in the end, who knows what happened to her, good brother, you can be accommodating-" As he spoke, he took out a round bead from his waist, which seemed to be given by the master of the palace, and the eunuch received the benefits, and it was not easy to say anything, so he could only urge: "You can hurry up with this, so as not to have too many dreams at night, and extraneous branches-"
After saying that, he walked to the door again, and when he walked away, he could still hear the struggle, crying, and begging for mercy of the women in the cell, and handed them over layer by layer, desperate and helpless.
