Chapter 114: Zhou Wang's Death
Zhou Wang was shocked, how could this good and dignified person show his feet, what went wrong.
This saffron was bought by him personally out of the palace, and no one knew about it except Huang Changsheng.
But why did you find out about yourself now? Zhou Wang suddenly suspected Huang Changsheng's head, turned his head to look at him, and became more and more convinced that he had betrayed himself!
Good boy, thanks to him promoting him to be the head of the twelve prisons and giving him great power, in the end, he was the first to betray himself!
"Your Majesty, the slave is wronged, where did the slave get this thing." Zhou Wang exonerated himself.
Emperor Beiyan sneered: "Don't think that seven days ago, you went to Cunshan Hall to buy saffron on the pretext of leaving the palace to do business, I didn't know about it, but now the evidence is conclusive, and you dare to deny it!" ”
Zhou Wang's heart trembled, how did the emperor know, how could the emperor know so clearly? That's impossible?
It is impossible for the servants in the palace to leave the palace easily, plus he can't trust others, for fear of revealing his feet, so he found an errand that needs to go out of the palace, in the name of going out of the palace to do business, he personally went to Cunshantang to buy three taels of saffron, and for the sake of prudence, he wore a hat all the way out of the palace, and it was impossible for the people of Cunshantang to see his appearance, but now how would the emperor know!
Chu Luoyi looked at Zhou Wang, who looked cloudy, and sneered in her heart, even she had to admit that Zhou Wang was really cautious, and he didn't forget to wear a hat when he went out of the palace to buy saffron, and didn't leave a handle, but he seemed to have forgotten that some evidence could be made, such as the guys and bosses who bought through Cunshantang.
Just when Zhou Wang lost his mind, Emperor Beiyan had already ordered: "Okay, take him down and hang him!" ”
Zhou Wang only felt as if he was in a dream, he didn't recognize the status quo for a while, he never thought that everything in front of him was true, and he didn't believe that he was... It's going to die in the moment.
It wasn't until the guards dragged him down that Zhou Wang suddenly realized that they were all true, and couldn't help muttering: "This is true!" It's really true! ”
Extremely frightened, his eyes were full of fear and begged for mercy loudly: "Your Majesty spares your life... Your Majesty spares your life.. The minions are wronged..."
Concubine Yuan was unwilling to see Zhou Wang being dragged down like this, but seeing that Emperor Beiyan looked tired, her eyes were full of impatience, and she couldn't help but hesitate.
After struggling for a while, Concubine Yuan finally didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and said: "Wait, Your Majesty, the concubine has no grievances with him, but the concubine wants to ask her why she wants to murder the children of this palace!" ”
Zhou Wang was already frightened at the moment, and when he saw Concubine Yuan asking, his sloppy eyes gradually gained focus, but he was still frightened and did not answer for a long time.
Huang Changsheng said at this time: "The slave knows, the slave knows, some time ago, Concubine Yuan Niangniang humiliated Zhou's father-in-law in front of everyone, saying that no matter how powerful he is, he is just a gelding dog, which makes his father-in-law feel that he has lost face, and secretly swears revenge, thinking that now Niangniang can get His Majesty's favor but it is because of this child, if Niangniang's child is gone, he will definitely lose his holy grace, and then he is afraid that he is not as good as a slave." ”
"You talk nonsense! You brute, you waste my kindness to you, you dare to frame me like this! Zhou Wang scolded Huang Changsheng with red eyes.
Huang Changsheng's words instantly interrupted Zhou Wang's train of thought, in fact, if Huang Changsheng didn't say this, I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before Zhou Wang, who came back to his senses, would think of Chu Luoyi about it, and now it seems that he has been caught by Huang Changsheng's words, and there is no place to turn over.
"Concubine Yuan, as a palace concubine, how can your words and deeds be so vulgar." Emperor Beiyan frowned and looked at the woman beside him.
"Concubines... The concubine has been wronged.." Concubine Yuan's face was about to turn green, her eyes swept over Chu Luoyi, but she saw the smile in her eyes, she held it in her heart in one breath, and almost went crazy, and her slender nails were broken by herself.
Huang Changsheng said at this time: "Many palace people have seen it that day, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, and the slave will never say anything." ”
Hearing Huang Changsheng's words, Concubine Yuan and Zhou Wang didn't come up in one breath and almost fainted.
"That's it! Concubine Yuan, do you need any more reasons? It's all your own sins that have affected my emperor! If you hadn't acted perversely, why would you have been hated and eventually killed my emperor! Emperor Beiyan scolded angrily.
Concubine Yuan was anxious to defend herself, but when she saw that Emperor Beiyan had already determined everything, she didn't have the slightest intention of listening to her explanation, and her whole person trembled when she looked up, but she saw Chu Luoyi's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a faint mockery, but she didn't seem to take her in her eyes at all: "You...!"
The pink-clothed palace maid hurriedly grabbed Concubine Yuan, for fear that she would do something out of the ordinary, Concubine Yuan bit a mouthful of silver teeth and was almost angry to death.
"Take Zhou Wang down and hang him!" Emperor Beiyan spoke impatiently.
In this way, Zhou Wang did not seize the last chance to live, he was once prominent, but in the end he died easily.
Xiao Liuzi looked at Zhou Wang's distant figure, and couldn't help but agree, what the master said was right, the reason why Zhou Wang was able to live so long in the palace was because of his prudence.
"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, and an explanation has been given to the emperor, then the concubine will have a good rest, and I will be tired, so I will drive back to the palace." Emperor Beiyan waved his sleeves, only to feel bored.
Chu Luoyi sneered in his heart, this is the emperor's love, he was anxious about his son just now, but after a moment, he could already leave so casually.
The prince's gaze swept over Huang Changsheng on the ground, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what about this minion..."
"Death together!"
As soon as Emperor Beiyan's words fell, Huang Changsheng grabbed Emperor Beiyan's shirt and said: "Your Majesty spares your life, the slave really didn't poison the emperor's heir..." The slave was also threatened by Zhou's father-in-law and had to obey orders. But the minions really didn't plot to kill the emperor's heir."
Emperor Beiyan kicked it away: "Dog minion, get out!" ”
Huang Changsheng's round body fell to the ground all of a sudden, this kick seemed to anger Huang Changsheng, Huang Changsheng got up from the ground, his round body knelt on the ground, and said to the back of Emperor Beiyan: "Your Majesty, it is impossible for Concubine Yuan Niangniang to have a miscarriage!" ”
Emperor Beiyan paused and turned around: "What did you say?" ”
When Concubine Yuan heard Huang Changsheng's words, she couldn't help but staggered back, her face was pale, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes.
The pink-clothed palace maid hurriedly hugged Concubine Yuan, not letting everyone see any clues.
The corners of Chu Luoyi's mouth hooked up a cold smile, and he quietly looked at the scene in front of him.
Huang Changsheng trembled and spoke: "Your Majesty, minion... The slave said that it was impossible for Concubine Yuan to have a miscarriage.."
Emperor Beiyan grabbed Huang Changsheng's collar, and a pair of dragon eyes stared at the small eyes in front of him, and the distance between the two was only half an inch, and the atmosphere became strange for a while.
"Because. . Because.. The minions did not put the safflower in the Laba porridge.."
Chu Luoyi said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Huang, what do you mean by this?" ”
Huang Changsheng swallowed and foamed at the mouth and said, "It's like this.. Gonggong Zhou handed over this medicine to the slave and let the slave put it in the laba porridge of the distant concubine, but it was about the emperor's heir, even if he gave the slave 10,000 guts, the slave would not dare.."
"But due to the threat of Father-in-law Zhou, the slave had to do it, so two days ago, the slave asked the imperial pharmacy to prescribe some detoxification drugs, and then used these medicines to replace the safflower that Father-in-law Zhou gave to the slave, so the Laba porridge that Niangniang took was only an ordinary detoxification drug, not safflower at all.." Huang Changsheng explained anxiously.
Emperor Beiyan frowned, his eyes fell on Concubine Yuan, who had an ugly face on the side, Concubine Yuan took a step back uncontrollably, but justified: "You are talking nonsense, if this is the case, why did the imperial doctor find saffron in the poured laba porridge."
"The slave replaces the safflower, and the mother must be fine, in this way, when the Zhou father-in-law gets the news, he will think that the slave did not do what he tells him, and the slave's life will not be able to live, so the slave secretly asked an acquaintance of the palace maid in Hanlu Palace to add the safflower to the poured laba porridge, so that even if the Zhou father-in-law finds out, he will only think that the mother is deeply blessed, and he is lucky to keep the child, and it will not involve the slave..."
"Your Majesty, the slave does all this, all for self-preservation, the slave has not added safflower to the Laba porridge taken by the mother at all, the safflower bought by the father-in-law of Zhou is enough for three taels, if the slave really wants to murder the emperor's heir, it must be to add safflower to the various meals taken by the mother, there will not be so much left, so that there is nowhere to hide, and finally found by the Praetorian Guard." Huang Changsheng saw that Emperor Beiyan did not speak, and spoke again.
Seeing this, Chu Luoyi said: "What you said is reasonable, a bowl of laba porridge really can't accommodate three taels of saffron." ”
Emperor Beiyan's brows were tightly twisted into a pimple, but he believed Huang Changsheng's words a little.
Concubine Yuan only felt that her heart was about to jump out, how could it be.. How so...
Emperor Beiyan's gaze fell on Concubine Yuan, Concubine Yuan shook her head and pretended to be calm: "Your Majesty, you have to believe me... These are all one-sided words of this minion, Your Majesty."
Huang Changsheng said again: "Niangniang, what the slave said is true, Niangniang's child is really strange, the slave clearly replaced the safflower with a detoxification medicine to ensure that it will not hurt the mother in the slightest!" ”
Concubine Yuan grabbed the silk handkerchief and covered her chest, looked at the Northern Yan Emperor who was full of scrutiny, and defended: "You are talking nonsense! You slave is clearly looking at His Majesty's execution of you, talking nonsense, and trying to pass the buck and deny it! ”
Chu Luoyi spoke again: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to judge the matter at the moment, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to carefully examine and judge, first to see if the previous diagnosis is wrong, and then to see if there are detoxification drug ingredients in this poured Laba porridge, in this way, you can also judge whether what this slave said is true or false, and you can judge the truth of the matter." ”
"Yun Luoyi! What do you mean? Are you saying that I pretended to have a miscarriage to deceive Your Majesty? Listening to Chu Luoyi's words, Concubine Yuan was anxious.
"Bengong doesn't mean this, Bengong just wants to get justice for my sister." Chu Luoyi's hoarse voice still did not fluctuate at all, and his expression was cold when he looked at Concubine Yuan's increasingly flustered appearance.
