As soon as the words fell, the whole hall was silent. The little palace maids and little eunuchs all held their breath, and their noses were smart, and this gossip atmosphere was like a royal secret that was about to be revealed.

Concubine De also pondered that what he said was wrong, and shouted: "King Qin, what do you mean?!" "It's not just about the Xia family. Zhou Shuxuan's words are like a basin of sewage, splashing all the women of the Xia family will be implicated.

Zhou Shuxuan ignored her at all, and said directly to the emperor: "Father, when the Xia family was not out of the cabinet, he secretly communicated with the prince. Erchen has been gritting his teeth and being a man for many years, and he has endured her again and again. But the Xia family was really restless, and actually colluded with the prince and framed his sons. She secretly hid money and silver to buy food, buy and wear, and her retainers had nothing to say, but she bought an alchemy furnace in a big way. Privately practiced gunpowder in the house, and practiced a gunpowder that could explode without ignition. Then handed over to the prince, on the day of the horse race, he was placed on the horse of Erchen, and the horse was frightened and went crazy, causing Erchen to break his legs, and the eldest princess broke her legs probably for this.

The prince and Erchen are biological brothers, and Erchen and Xia are husband and wife. Thinking of the relationship between brother and wife, Erchen wanted to punish her in the mansion for being angry in her heart, and didn't want to make trouble in front of her father. But the wicked people of the Xia clan sued first, and charged the sons and daughters with the crime, which affected innocent people, and the sons were forced to have no choice but to tell the truth to their father, and asked their father to be the master of their sons. ”

Zhou Shuxuan's voice is like a bell, every word is like gunpowder made by Xia, there is no fire but it resounds in the sky.

A chill erupted from Xia's back, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, as if he was struggling to get up from the cold water and fall into the snow. The whole person was completely hung by one breath, otherwise he would definitely collapse to the ground at this time.

Is what Zhou Shuxuan said true? It's true! And not a word is bad.

Xia didn't think that he would say it completely now, and glanced at Miao Li who was kneeling on the side, she underestimated the weight of this woman in Zhou Shuxuan's heart.

Concubine De panicked and wanted to cover up the facts, but Zhou recounted the chisel of the declaration, and Concubine De said with insufficient confidence: "King Qin, don't talk nonsense, the princess is innocent ......and innocent."

"Get out of here!" The emperor roared. When it comes to the crown prince, it is no longer King Qin's family matter, and the concubine is not allowed to put her beak here.

Concubine De walked out with her head down, and when the idlers were finished, there were only a few parties left inside. The only person who could shelter the Xia clan was also gone, and the Xia clan was now almost kneeling on the ground, with only one thought in his heart, no matter what, he couldn't even affect the prince.

The emperor leaned on the Luohan bed and thought for a long time, and finally hammered the table three times, and shouted to Zhou Shu with red eyes: "What are you talking nonsense? Won't you let go of the prince until this time? He didn't want to believe a word of Zhou Shuxuan's words, it was Zhou Shuxuan who was still restless and deliberately dirty the prince.

Zhou Shuxuan replied calmly, "Father, the son is already a crippled person at this time, why should he use his reputation to frame the prince and do these things that outweigh the losses." Whether it's true or not, please ask your father to find out. ”

The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointed at Zhou Shuxuan and scolded loudly: "How do I know why you are?" You are a vicious man, with the blood of a vicious man in your bones. ”

Miao Li was taken aback when she heard it, the emperor's words were too ruthless. She, an outsider, didn't look at them like father and son at all, but like enemies for several lifetimes. Zhou Shuxuan took such a big risk to save her, and Miao Li had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Zhou Shuxuan is used to this, he used to make the emperor angry, and the emperor said even more ugly things.

His eyes were firm, and he still said without humility or arrogance: "My father thinks that my son has nothing to say. Putting aside the prince, there is really no one left in the son's mansion who wants to kill the son, and the son-in-law must divorce his wife. ”

was reprimanded by the emperor, he couldn't pull the prince, and if he couldn't get the Xia family away, it would really be impossible to steal chickens and rice.

The emperor sneered, gritted his teeth and asked him, "Why did you divorce your wife?" Give me a reason. ”

If you divorce your wife, you will definitely get involved with the prince, and if you don't get involved with the prince, you are destined not to divorce your wife, and it is not enough to divorce a princess by deducting money.

are all sons, and the emperor will only favor the crown prince, and even the Xia family. Even his broken leg didn't help him find out the truth, and he thought about what would pass the throne to him, Zhou Shuxuan was already cold. He sank his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "It is against humanity for a brother to marry a brother and sister-in-law, and a son cannot be such a disloyal and unfilial person." ”

"Your Majesty, the courtiers and the prince are innocent." Xia had already relieved himself at this time, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to keep distinguishing for himself, "Lord, there is no concubine, even if the prince wants to pour dirty water on the concubine, it is okay to say that the little maid in the house is fine, don't say that it is the prince." ”

Xia knew that only by picking the crown prince clean, the emperor could protect her. And from a selfish point of view, the Xia family also wants to protect the prince.

These words are too poisonous, Miao Li couldn't help but sweat for Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, it seems that he still has a tough battle to fight today, but she can't help him at this time.

The emperor cast an appreciative look and followed her words and asked Zhou Shuxuan, "You said that they secretly made a qu, what evidence do you have?" ”

There is no other evidence, he has a lot of evidence that Xia and the prince have an affair, Zhou Shuxuan replied unhurriedly, "Erchen naturally has evidence." There is a painting in Xia's house, on which is the prince's private seal, and there are letters exchanged between the two on the side of the painting. If the father doesn't believe it, take it out and see it. ”

Xia knelt on the spot and didn't dare to act rashly, Zhou Shuxuan actually knew so much about it. She never told outsiders about the paintings and letters, nor did she show them to others, Zhou Shuxuan must have a spy by her side.

The emperor glanced at the pale Xia family, and already understood seven or eight in his heart. Useless things, he really did such a shameful and dirty thing, even if Zhou Shuxuan came up with more evidence, he would protect the prince.

The emperor didn't take it out to see, and directly said: "Those things can be faked." Forgery of calligraphy and painting, your mother is still a master. ”

Zhou Shuxuan secretly clenched his fists, his mother had passed away for so many years, and the emperor still didn't let her go. There is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was related to his mother. But the emperor didn't believe it, forced his mother to death, and wanted to force him to death today.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled and looked up at the emperor, "Father, forged two words to force the son's mother and concubine to death back then, do you want to use these two words to force the son's minister to death today?" ”

"You!" The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over, and a murderous aura rose in his eyes. was so angry that he had long forgotten that Zhou Shuxuan was his son.

Zhou Shuxuan is not the prince who Vivino came to complain, with a smile on his face, he has long put life and death aside, "A person like a minister is really not worthy of being the emperor's son, and the emperor will give the death of the minister." As soon as the minister died, the emperor kept the crown prince and the Xia family. Why not save everyone by shechen? ”

The emperor was trembling with anger, gritted his teeth and said, "You brute, you want to be angry!" "How can a holy monarch kill his son, this is clearly to risk him from injustice.

Zhou Shuxuan said loudly: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." The Father wants the Son to die, and the Son has to die. The emperor gave an order, and the ministers immediately splashed blood in the palace. ”

Miao Li knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor's unsteady body, and complained in her heart about Zhou Shuxuan, why provoke the emperor at this time. If you really have the intention of killing a child, it won't end well for a while.

At this time everyone went out, and there was no one who could persuade them. The emperor was furious, this son didn't want it, he didn't want it, he just had never given birth. picked up the vase on the incense case, and smashed it towards Zhou Shuxuan head-on with all his strength. If this bottle goes down, you will only have half a life if you don't die. However, Zhou Shuxuan was in a wheelchair and couldn't hide.

At the moment of life and death, Miao Li jumped up and pounced on Zhou Shuxuan. The vase smashed into her back, bounced off the ground, and shattered into pieces. Xia moved slightly to the side, afraid that the debris would splash on him.

In this block, the emperor did not expect that in the event of an emergency, the emperor calmed down a little. The actions of the two fell in the eyes of the emperor, no matter what happened today, the Xia family couldn't stay. In fact, when Zhou Shuxuan said that there was evidence of collusion between the prince and the Xia family, the emperor was not ready to stay in the Xia family, and he did not declare Zhou Shuxuan the crown prince.

The pain spread from her back to her whole body, her backbone seemed to be broken, and Miao Li frowned in pain. Zhou Shuxuan held her with both hands, it was difficult to speak in front of the emperor, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Miaoli smiled effortlessly at him, shook her head, and signaled that she was okay. Then he turned around and knelt down, endured the pain to the bones, and said, "Please let the emperor calm his anger." The emperor is a loving father of the Ming monarch, and he disciplines several highnesses in different ways, and he loves his son the same. The prince was confused for a while, and he couldn't see the heart of the emperor's beloved son, so he said the foolish words. The emperor killed the prince at this time, and those foolish people in the world will also talk about the emperor like the prince. The life of the prince is small, and the emperor's holy name is big. Please also ask the emperor to think twice. ”

In front of the Son of Heaven, how can there be a place for her little concubine to speak. But as soon as she opened her mouth, the familiarity that the emperor had just now came out again, and he actually listened to her words. I thought about it carefully, but I also listened.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her tightly knit brows, she was really bold, she dared to save him, and dared to say these words in front of the emperor. is worthy of Meng Qianfan's daughter, he was not wrong at that time.

The emperor's expression moved a lot, which was the result of her risking her life. Zhou Shuxuan was not so impulsive at this time, and said respectfully: "Father, the son knows that he is wrong, and the son deserves death." But the gunpowder found on the horse's hooves was only in Xia's hands, and she broke a pair of legs for Erchen, how could Erchen not hate her? ”

One person took a step back, as if he was a father and a son, and he just hugged his head and cried. But if the father and son want to get back together, they have to find a step down, and that step is the Xia family.

The emperor faced the Xia family and changed his protection just now, "Xia family, you keep saying that King Qin spoiled his concubine and killed his wife." What were you doing when I was about to kill King Qin? Hiding far away for fear of hurting herself, what is the concubine doing? Protect each other. I look at King Qin's heart, and he favors his concubine because your wife is not virtuous. ”

It's over, Xia Shi said silently in his heart.
