Chapter 242: Confession
"Capital punishment should be given," Concubine Su De, who was on the side, finally gritted her teeth and spit out a few words with difficulty.
"Master!" Zhixia cried loudly and grabbed Concubine Su De's skirt.
She is not afraid of death, but she definitely can't bear the words "capital punishment" coming out of Concubine Su De's mouth. Everything she did was for her, she was her loyal slave all her life, how could she not want her now!?
"Don't you say it soon!" Concubine Su De almost exhausted her last strength, and she roared mournfully at Zhixia.
Zhixia swallowed tears, looked at Concubine Su De pitifully, and still didn't say a word.
Concubine Su Defei stood up slowly with her chair, she stared at Shen Yunzhen, her eyes were complicated, there was sadness, sadness, anger, and hatred. She finally turned to the east slowly: "Father-in-law, knowing that Xia is guilty of great evil, just do what you have to do, this palace will no longer interfere." ”
She turned around and sobbed softly.
"Master! Master, don't you want to be a slave anymore? Zhixia suddenly pounced from behind and hugged Concubine Sude's legs.
Concubine Su De looked down at her, her eyes were full of pity, but her attitude was so resolute: "So far, how do you ask this palace to recognize you?" ”
Zhixia looked at Concubine Su De sadly, and saw her take a few steps, Concubine Su Defei's figure was getting farther and farther away from her, and suddenly a desperate pain hit her heart, as if she was a stray dog, but she was abandoned by her master who had raised her for twenty years.
She is indeed a loyal dog, but because she is good at biting people, she always causes trouble in the family, so her owner does not want to keep her.
"I've recruited, I've recruited them all!" Zhixia howled: "It's me who hates Concubine Chen for being pregnant, it's me who secretly asked someone to take musk to hairpin, it's me who asked someone to pretend that the second master sent silver to Hairpin Xue's family, I did everything, I'm afraid that the emperor will be the prince of Concubine Chen's mother, I'm afraid that my master will fall out of favor, I'm afraid that my master's son won't be favored by his father in the future, I'm obsessed with ghosts, it's all my ghosts!" ”
"Zhixia!" Concubine Su De turned back in a panic, although she had already guessed the truth, but now that she heard Xia say it herself, she couldn't help but be full of anger and consternation.
Zhixia was extremely painful, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Concubine Chen, you can distinguish between right and wrong, all this is done by the slave maid, I know that the master will definitely stop the slave and the maid, so I don't dare to let the master know that it was I who harmed your prince, you kill me alone!" ”
"It's time to kill you!" Concubine Su De roared angrily: "You don't pay attention to all the words that this palace says to you, you"
"Sister," Shen Yunzhen suddenly stopped her, "Sister shouldn't be angry to say this, right?" ”
Concubine Su De looked at her, almost gritting her teeth before she said, "How could I?" ”
Shen Yunzhen doesn't have a taste in her heart, people have feelings, although she knows that Xia deserves to die, but why is Concubine Su innocent? Let her be so weak and go through this great mourning.
Zhixia grew up with her since she was a child, and for Concubine Su De, she is a person who is closer than her own sisters, and now this person has committed a heinous crime, and she can't redeem it, so she can only watch Zhixia die, even if it is angry, it is human nature.
The two looked at each other for a while, Concubine Su De took the lead in lowering her head, she staggered out, with full of pain, she finally knelt on the door frame: "Sister Concubine Chen, I know that there is no room for this matter to be returned, if, if you still think of our sister's half of the affection, please reward her with a whole corpse." ”
Concubine Su Defei said, and her figure disappeared into the vast night.
Donglai pursed his lips and peeked at Shen Yunzhen's expression: "Master, what are you going to do about this?" ”
Shen Yun said coldly: "Just do what Sister Su wants." ”
Donglai responded and asked someone to take Zhixia out with a drag. After a while, he turned back again, he seemed to hesitate a little, and only after a long time did he speak: "Master, the slave has the courage to say a lot." ”
He looked at Shen Yunzhen, and then said softly: "Concubine Su De's month is old, she can't bear such sorrow, if she has a fetal gas because of this, how can the Su family stop?" ”
"What if you don't give up? This palace has a way to deal with the Su family, but I am afraid that the Su family will not dare to come to confront the court in person. Shen Yunzhen sneered and looked eastward: "How can a slave have such a ability to reach the sky with hands and eyes?" It's just that the Su family is secretly helping her. Now that the matter has been revealed, the Su family can't even get rid of the relationship, how can they dare to make trouble? ”
Donglai was stunned: "Could it be that the master suspects that this matter was instigated by the Su family?" ”
"Isn't it?" Shen Yunzhen asked him rhetorically.
Donglai was silent: "What does the master mean, this matter will be closed here in Zhixia?" ”
Shen Yun really nodded, and the execution of Zhixia was enough to knock the mountain and shake the tiger. Besides, the court has just stabilized, and the Su family is a great contributor to stabilizing the court, if the Su family is dealt with at this time, it will be difficult to say and make the emperor embarrassed.
"Yes, the slave will report the mother's meaning to the emperor." Donglai bowed and prepared to launch the flower hall.
"Slow," Shen Yunzhen suddenly stopped him: "You can't let the emperor know about this matter." ”
Donglai was stunned, and looked at Shen Yunzhen in confusion: "What does that Niangniang mean?" ”
"What this palace means is not to tell the emperor that the Su family is behind the scenes."
If Nan Jingpei knew that it was Taishi Su who killed his child, he would definitely not let go of the Su family, but if he did this, wouldn't he make a storm in the city again? Donglai knew this, answered softly, and withdrew.
When the dust settled, calm returned to the empty flower hall. Shen Yunzhen leaned on the chair, staring at a half-lit red candle on the brass lampstand in this hall, and the candle tears hung on the lampholder, like a piece of red coral, which looked beautiful in an instant.
"Does the master really believe that Concubine Su De has no idea about this?" Liu February asked.
Shen Yunzhen glanced at her and said indifferently: "I don't know, this matter is over." If she continues to make trouble, I'm afraid she will become the second Concubine Jiang Xian, I don't want to do this. ”
Liu February: "It's okay, executing Zhixia can be regarded as a warning for the Su family." ”
Before Liu February's words landed, she saw a little palace maid in the palace hurriedly running into the dormitory: "Master, it's not good, Concubine De fainted on the way back!" ”
"What?" Shen Yun was really shocked: "Have you called the imperial doctor to see it, how is the situation?" ”
The little palace maid shouted in a panic: "It has been passed on to the imperial doctor, Concubine De has shed a lot of blood, I'm afraid it's ......."
Shen Yunzhen frowned, this was the last thing she wanted to see, but it still happened. Although Zhixia has done many wrong things, there is one sentence that is not wrong, Concubine Su De really wants a child of her own. When Shen Yunzhen was still a little medicine girl, she heard Dongxiang say that Concubine Su De quietly asked for fetal medicine.
If she loses this child, I'm afraid she will go crazy with heartache.
She tried her best to calm down, turned her head to Liu February, and said, "Let's go, although the palace will go to Dingxiang Palace to have a look." ”
