Chapter 333: Death
"Since the emperor can't let him die directly, then take this opportunity to collect his military power, add more charges to him, and announce it to the outside world, so that the important ministers of the court and the people of Liming think that he is useless and has bad intentions, so that if he is pressed into the Dali Temple for trial, even if he does not die, he must be seriously disabled."
The emperor is really scheming, and he is also very handy in dealing with this kind of thing, and if he doesn't have these skills, it is impossible to fall off the harem and sit on the queen's seat.
The emperor was silent for a moment, and felt that her proposal also made some sense, and then suddenly praised her strategy: "I still love the concubine and is smart, and she can help me solve problems every time, and she really deserves to be my queen." ”
The queen smiled shyly when she heard this, and did not forget to take the opportunity to win the emperor's favor, but at this moment, the emperor's anger finally disappeared, and the two were ready to go to bed, and Yu'er rushed into the palace.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! The villain has something important to report! Yu'er shouted while running towards the main hall, but was stopped by the eunuch when she came to the door, "Father-in-law, please go and report to the emperor, let him listen to me no matter what, it is about the Qi Palace, you must tell the emperor!" ”
The emperor was a little angry when he heard the movement outside, he already wanted to spend a good night with the queen, although it was already half of the night, but he still wanted to pamper her.
Therefore, he did not want to see anyone again, and felt that he had come at this time to disturb them, and the queen was even more reluctant, she did not want to waste this good opportunity with such great effort.
But when the emperor knew that it was Mo Jing's departure from the house, it was Concubine Tong's personal maid who came, and he was still in a hurry, so he left the queen behind, for him, the most important thing now is only Mo Jingli's matter, and with more news and clues, it is possible to solve him as soon as possible.
He thought that Concubine Tong sent someone to come, it must be that Mo Jing left the house and something happened again, and thought that he must have come to report the good news to him for a reward, so he couldn't wait to know what was going on: "Hurry up and call her up." ”
Yu'er only wanted to save Concubine Tong as soon as possible, and as soon as she came up, she cried and begged the emperor for help, and she didn't think about what should be said and what should not be said, so she recounted everything in one go.
"Please let the emperor save my mother, she is now under house arrest! If the prince knows that she will be in trouble, I have been persuading the mother to leave with me, but she just refused, she was worried that the prince would find out, so she could only let me report the news, the emperor, if you don't help the mother, she will definitely be in danger! ”
Yu'er only wanted to save people, thinking that Concubine Tong had been doing things for the emperor, and it was impossible for him not to help, but he didn't take into account the emperor's evil at all.
For him, he has no shortage of people to do things for him, and without Concubine Tong, he can find another one, and he is just an "undercover agent" on the potential Mo Jing's departure from the house.
What he heard from Yu'er's mouth was not that Concubine Tong was in danger, but that she was sincere to Mo Jing, and she dared to use such a thing to persecute him, and wanted to stay by his side as a threat.
would actually worry about Mo Jingli, afraid that he would be angry and dare not leave. Where does this place him as the king of a nation? Dare to approach his enemy Mo Jingli under the banner of doing things for him, how can he save her so boldly?
He was even more worried that Concubine Tong would be carried away by her feelings, but she would be used by Mo Jingli and become the one who betrayed him, revealing the secrets he had planned to Mo Jingli.
Thinking of these, he couldn't calm down, what he thought of was not to send Concubine Tong away, but to directly give her to death, completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so that he would be happy, and he would no longer have worries.
"Someone, bring poison." The emperor gave the order mercilessly, and did not care about Yu'er, who had been waiting for the result on the side.
Hearing the order, Yu'er suddenly woke up, and realized that she had just said too much, and she might have exposed Concubine Tong, so she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded again and again: "What does the emperor mean by taking poisoned wine?" It's a small party who has a lot of mouths, and Niangniang has always helped the emperor find opportunities in King Qi's mansion, and she definitely doesn't have any other intentions. ”
Yu'er kept pleading with his head, but the emperor didn't pay attention to it at all, and now it would be too abrupt to explain, seeing a subordinate crying in front of him, affecting his mood, plus the queen kept adding oil and vinegar on the side, complaining that she was a little maid wasting the time of the two of them, he was even more upset.
"You don't have to explain, this is my order, and she doesn't dare to disobey, if you take this poison back, I won't save her."
"No, the emperor, Niangniang was under house arrest for helping you, and she was blamed by the prince, she is really wholeheartedly for you, please ask the emperor for mercy!" Yu'er still insisted and refused to give up no matter what.
This is to completely anger the emperor, it is the obligation of those people to act under orders, there is no reason to come as a threat at one time, and let him save them, all of this is what they deserve, there is no reason to negotiate conditions with him.
So he stepped forward and kicked Yu'er in the lungs, where could Yu'er withstand such an attack, and instantly fell to the ground and vomited blood: "Do you dare to disobey my order?" Do you want to die with her too? Come on, drag her out for me! ”
The emperor roared, Yu'er knew that her life was difficult to protect, so she had to leave with the poison, she left the palace and had nowhere to go, she had been with Concubine Tong for so long, how could she bear to hand over the poison by herself?
After thinking about it, she decided to go to Qing'er to complain, but as soon as she saw Qing'er, she cried loudly about the emperor's ruthlessness: "How can the emperor treat his mother like this!" Niangniang has suffered so many grievances in the palace, is she going to be put to death just because of this little mistake? ”
Qing'er listened to the reason, she could understand the emperor's worries, and also understood Yu'er's embarrassment, sympathized with Concubine Tong's plight, so she had to let Yu'er sit down and comfort her, and finally tried everything she could to save Concubine Tong's life with fake death medicine, and she would not show flaws.
So she took out some fake death medicine that she had been waiting for later use and gave it to Yu'er: "This is some fake death medicine that I have left here, I always have some on my body to be a concubine, you can use it for the time being, if you really want to save Concubine Tong, replace the poison with this one and let her take it, let her fake her death first deceive everyone, and leave here is the best choice." ”
The next day, Mo Jingli recovered from his injuries, and since Concubine Tong fought against him, he knew Concubine Tong's identity and purpose, knew that she was a person sent by the emperor, and knew what she thought about him.
In this way, he can also use Concubine Tong's relationship with him to probe the emperor's plans and state secrets, Concubine Tong must know everything when she helps the emperor, but he doesn't know that she has been suspected by the emperor and is about to die.
Mo Jingli came to Concubine Tong's room, wanting to extract some military secrets from her, including the emperor's plan all along and how he planned to deal with him.
Of course he knows the emperor, and he can't wait for the day when he dies without a place to be buried, using Concubine Tong is just one of the plans, he also wants to know more, so as to avoid things like yesterday, and the most important thing is to protect Tian Yao's safety.
Mo Jingli has never been good at pleasing others, let alone disguising, but this incident is very important to him, and he must sacrifice himself because of this and change his personality to deal with the emperor.
So he had to try to convince himself, and decided to pretend to be good to Concubine Tong on the surface, and no longer hated her, disgusted her, and pretended to care about her.
With her feelings for him, she will definitely be fascinated by this sweetness, thinking that all this is true, letting down her guard against him, and willingly telling him all the emperor's plans.
"Are you alright?" Mo Jing pushed the door and walked into Concubine Tong's bedroom, because she was grounded, she sat on the mahogany carved chair in the main hall all day long, or waited eagerly for the emperor to come to save her.
Yu'er didn't tell her the news that the emperor was going to give her death, and she couldn't bear to see her really die after knowing the truth, so she only decided to change the medicine and follow Qing'er's words to fake her death, so that everyone didn't know, including Concubine Tong herself.
Concubine Tong has been a little unrelenting and sentimental these days, because she thinks about her body every day and is a little weak, and every day Yu'er will boil some decoction for her to replenish her body, Mo Jingli has heard of it somewhat, so she decided to care about her like this.
She saw that Mo Jingli would come to see her in person, which had already made her a little dizzy with excitement, he had never taken the initiative to come before, and every time he came, it was because of Tian Yao's matter, either angry at her or punished her.
But this time, he actually came to care for her in person, and when she was under house arrest, for Concubine Tong, this was already a gift from God to her.
"Why are you here, my lord? I'm fine. Concubine Tong hurriedly got up to greet her, trying to suppress her joy.
Mo Jingli sat down to greet Concubine Tong, ready to go step by step, not too obvious to go straight to the point, but Concubine Tong felt that Mo Jingli really let down her guard, so she wanted to get close to him.
She also knew very well that Mo Jingli must have wanted to inquire about the emperor's affairs, so she thought that in exchange, she didn't care what Mo Jingli did.
So she took the opportunity to hug Mo Jingli, and pitifully begged him to stay with her.
But at this time, Tian Yao was almost fine after Xiao Heng's day's luck, she was very concerned about Mo Jingli, so she got up to look for him, but she learned the news that he went to Concubine Tong, and she was very angry.
She was injured because Concubine Tong was a person sent by the emperor, and she was still worried about his safety, so he ran there to die, the more Tian Yao thought about it, the more angry she became, so she angrily pushed the door and went straight to the point.
Tian Yao's visit made both of them a little surprised, looking at Tian Yao's angry appearance, Mo Jingli was a little weak-hearted, the previous matter had not ended, and now he had to find a way to explain.
