Chapter 179: The Fall of the Zhang Clan
Baoqin ran to the Chengqian Hall and saw Laishun being tortured. Lai Shun grinned in pain and wailed constantly, making her heart jump rapidly.
"Come on." She called softly.
Lai Shun tried to raise his head, but the board on his body kept making him unable to raise his head. There was blood flowing from his mouth, and he was slurred and unable to speak.
Baoqin was stunned and hurriedly walked into the hall. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was also unusually solemn, and as soon as she entered the door, Concubine Zhang Xian, who was standing in the center, stared at her deadly.
She has nothing to be afraid of now, she didn't even glance at Concubine Zhang Xian, and walked straight to the center to salute: "Slave maid see everyone, the queen mother, and the virtuous concubine." ”
Zhao Xuan glanced at her, and said in a voice that was neither yin nor yang: "What's the matter?" ”
"Slaves have ......"
Before Baoqin finished speaking, Concubine Zhang Xian interrupted sharply: "Haven't you done enough stupid things last night!" Do you still want to lose your honor in front of the palace today and offend Long Yan! ”
Zhao Xuan was reminded by her, and then he recognized Baoqin as he came out, and his gaze at Baoqin changed.
Baoqin knelt on the ground and was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in an orderly manner: "The slave and maid have important things to report to everyone, and if there is a misdemeanor in front of the palace, please atone for your sins." ”
The queen also saw the clue of the matter, and then echoed: "Since she said that she has something important to report, let her report it first." Isn't my sister a little excited? ”
Although her words were gentle and kind, she pressed step by step like a life talisman, urging Concubine Zhang Xian's life.
Concubine Zhang Xian's pupils were shocked, and she looked at Zhao Xuan again, and saw that his face had changed, so she had to relax: "You are so angry, offending Long Yan, this position can't protect you." ”
"It's a mother, the slave understands." Baoqin hung her head and said firmly: "Everyone, the slave maid is here today for ......"
The two chamberlains walked in carrying the dying Laishun, "Everyone, you still refuse to recruit." ”
Lai Shun was already angry at this time, but he didn't have any anger, so he said strongly: "The little one really didn't poison the three princes, and please be clear." ”
This sentence is like a hammer smashing Baoqin's brain, poisoning? She reacted instantly, it turned out that this was the critical time that Ying Jieyu said, the critical time to bring down Concubine Zhang Xian.
She subconsciously glanced at Concubine Zhang Xian, although her delicate face was pretending to be relaxed, she could still vaguely see the solemnity in it. If she pokes out those things at this time, Concubine Xian is afraid that she will fall forever, and she will never have to worry about future troubles.
Thinking of this, she said bitterly: "How long do you have to resist?" Do you think you can hide it from everyone? Hurry up and tell the truth, everyone's kindness will definitely spare your life. ”
She said this, and she also said that she was blinded by Concubine Zhang Xian.
Without waiting for Concubine Zhang Xian to react, Baoqin said to Zhao Xuan sadly: "Everyone, the slave doesn't want to let Concubine Xian go on like this anymore, I just ask everyone to forgive her this time for the sake of Niangniang's love for you." ”
Concubine Zhang Xian's apricot eyes glared angrily, pointed at her and said viciously: "What are you talking about!" ”
Turning her head, she knelt on the ground in a hurry, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone, slander, she is slandering the concubine!" ”
Zhao Xuan's patience with Concubine Zhang Xian had already reached the limit, he didn't even look at her, and only asked Baoqin: "Tell me everything you know." ”
Concubine Zhang Xian's brain boomed, his words had already sent her to hell, and she needed to ask more.
Baoqin glanced at Concubine Zhang Xian hesitantly before she spoke: "The matter of Hui Xiuyuan's slippery fetus hanging by a thread is the musk that Niangniang sent someone to bury under the tree, and it was poisoned in the plum blossom screen that everyone gave to Hui Xiuyuan. Later, the matter was about to be found out, and Niangniang asked people to frame the matter on Xi Xiuyuan. ”
"The murder of Ying Jieyu was also done by the mother, and there are ......"
"Enough!" Zhao Xuan interrupted her words angrily, he didn't know about Concubine Zhang Xian's small actions in the harem on weekdays, he just turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect her to be so careless and careless about human life.
His eyes were already red with anger, and he slapped the case and scolded angrily: "How many more kills do you have to kill before you stop!" How is your heart so vicious! ”
These words slashed Concubine Zhang Xian's heart into pieces, she was powerless to refute, slowly closed her eyes, and a line of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.
Lai Shun looked at this situation, and in order to save his life, he had to speak: "Everyone, this matter is indeed forced by Concubine Xian, and please atone for your sins." ”
The last straw was pressed down, bending Concubine Zhang Xian's arrogant body. "Hahahaha......" she suddenly covered her mouth and began to laugh, laughing so hard that tears flowed freely.
Everyone in the hall did not speak, quietly watching her actions, she looked like a mad madman at this moment.
Zhao Xuan looked at her thin body, and felt that she was so delicate for the first time, but her guilt was too heavy. "Come on, Concubine Zhang Xian is ruthless and jealous, careless of people's lives, violates palace rules, and enters the cold palace."
Into the cold? Concubine Zhang Xian's body trembled, since the day her father was imprisoned, she knew that sooner or later there would be today. She made too many enemies with her father, and there were too many people who wanted them to die. It's just that her father has endured so many days in prison, and he can't escape death.
She seemed to be indifferent at the moment, as long as he convicted her guilt, she was powerless to argue no matter how many mouths she had.
"The concubines are in order, long live everyone, long live, long live."
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhao Xuan, turned around and walked out step by step, only at this moment the burden on her body was gone. She no longer has to withstand the pressure of her family and fight in the bloody storm of this harem.
The news of Concubine Zhang Xian's entry into the cold palace spread far and wide, and it didn't take long for Zhao Xuan to issue an order that the evidence of Zhang Taishi's corruption and perversion of the law was conclusive, and he was executed on the same day. The men of his tribe were sent to the frontier, and the women were used as military prostitutes. The once-prosperous Zhang clan collapsed like this.
When the news reached Linhua Palace, Hua Qingrao and Hui Xiuyuan were playing chess. Hui Xiuyuan, who thought she would be happy, looked indifferent, she rubbed the chess pieces in her hand and sighed silently.
"Concubine Zhang Xian has fallen, what are you going to do Baoqin?" She asked.
Hua Qingrao went down without thinking, "Everyone has pardoned her for her report meritorious, how can I deal with her?" ”
She raised her eyebrows, "It's you, you really have to think about the relationship." ”
Hui Xiuyuan's fingers trembled, but she still said stiffly: "Now that I have taken revenge, what does it matter to consider." ”
Hua Qingrao looked at her directly, and said jokingly: "Keep cutting, and the relationship is still messy!" ”
