Chapter 21: The Death of Shang Gong

In the happy atmosphere of everyone, an aunt beside the queen walked in, and then said something in the queen's ear, the queen's face changed instantly, and she slapped her palm on the table: "How could this happen!" ”

The music came to an abrupt end, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

And Concubine Rou, who was sitting at the bottom, was thinking in her heart, what happened to make the queen angry like this.

"Qiushui just told the palace that the phoenix robe that Lord Shanggong made for the palace was torn." The queen's tone slowed down, but her anger did not diminish in the slightest.

"What's going on? Could it be that Shang Gong's craftsmanship is really not good? Everyone talked about it for a while.

At this moment, the aunt named Qiushui went and returned, and threw the bright yellow phoenix robe in her hand on the ground.

"Meow!!"

Everyone was shocked, and at a glance, they saw a white cat tearing madly on the phoenix robe.

And the next Rou Guifei was shocked at this time, isn't this her blue-eyed cat, she clearly let the palace maid hug it, how could she hold the queen's phoenix robe and not let go?

"Sister Concubine Rou, I don't know what your explanation is for this?" The queen's eyes flashed with a little coldness, and she spoke.

"Concubine..."

"Isn't it the dragon heir you intend to murder this palace!" The queen didn't give Concubine Rou a chance to explain at all.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in Cheng changed, and they seemed to suddenly think of something.

As we all know, this phoenix robe queen let Shang Gong rush to make it early in the morning, it was for today's banquet, if it wasn't for the peony golden hairpin a few days ago, today's queen would definitely not give up this golden phoenix robe and choose a peony dress, so if the cat pounced on the queen uncontrollably, wouldn't the child in the queen's belly be...

At this time, Concubine Rou's face was also difficult to look at, and she quickly glanced at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid understood, and immediately stepped forward to bring the cat back.

However, the cat had gone crazy, and even scratched a few blood marks on the hands of the palace maid, which caused everyone to sigh.

"Queen Mother, according to the concubine, this phoenix robe must have been tampered with."

Qiushui seemed to think of something: "The slave maid is going to ask the imperial doctor and the master of incense to come over." ”

Another palace maid, Chunliu, also hurriedly said, "The slave maid immediately summoned Lord Shanggong. ”

For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was a little gloomy, and Concubine Rou didn't dare to say a word when she sat on her seat, thinking about who was harming her.

Today's incident cannot be resolved in a few words, and the crime of murdering the emperor's heir is to lose his head!

After a while, the imperial physician and the master of the palace came over, and the eunuch forcibly picked up the blue-eyed cat, and the two began to check the queen's robe.

After a while, the imperial doctor took the lead in speaking: "Queen Qi, if Weichen is not mistaken, the phoenix robe is stained with catnip powder, because the powder is finely crushed, it is stuck in the gap of embroidery, and it is not easy to be noticed, but if you smell it carefully, it is not difficult to find that there is a fragrance of mint." ”

Hearing this, the queen's face instantly became gloomy, and many concubines were also speculating about this matter, and most of them still thought that this matter was done by Concubine Rou.

Although Emperor Beiyan has many heirs, there are only two princesses, and Emperor Beiyan already likes beauty, and his love for princesses is definitely more than that of the prince, so in the Beiyan Palace, the status of the princess is extremely high.

When this kind of thing happened today, everyone couldn't help but think that Concubine Rou did it, and the reason was to prevent the queen from being able to give birth to a princess.

And when Shang Gong was summoned in, he saw the torn and broken phoenix robe on the ground at a glance, and the Rou Guifei who looked nervous and had a somewhat pale face, and her heart instantly hung up.

"It seems that Lord Shanggong has a deep grudge against this palace." The queen looked at Shang Gong's faint opening.

"The slave doesn't dare..."At this moment, Shang Gong didn't know what was going on.

"Don't dare? You have done everything to murder the emperor's heir, what else do you dare not do! The queen's tone changed, and she was unusually sharp.

Shang Gong was stunned when she heard this, how dare she murder the imperial heir? What the hell is going on?

"It's really not a slave maid... Even if you give the slave and maid a hundred dares, the slave and maid don't dare..."Shang Gong hurriedly kowtowed and defended.

"If it weren't for the intention of murdering the palace, how would Lord Shanggong explain the catnip powder on the phoenix robe?" The queen looked coldly at the Shang Palace below.

"Catnip powder?" Shang Gong muttered to himself, looking puzzled.

"Why, pretending to be confused, huh? Chunliu has just asked, from beginning to end, you are the only one who has touched this phoenix robe, isn't it you, is it not the palace? ”

Shang Gong's pupils constricted, his thoughts were confused, and he didn't know how to argue for a while.

She was afraid that the queen would have a grudge against her because of the golden hairpin, so she made this phoenix robe by herself, wanting to please the queen, and later because of Chu Luoyi's words, she was worried that the phoenix robe would be tampered with, so she would send it in person, but... But how can this phoenix robe be mixed with catnip powder?

If this is the case, doesn't that mean that she is going to murder the emperor's heir? It's a big sin to lose your head!

"The slave is wronged... Even a few slaves and maids dare not do such a thing! Shang Gong finally reacted at this time.

"Wronged? Tell me how you were wronged? Are you trying to say that someone forced you to do it? Or do you want to say that you don't know anything about it? Don't take Hongu for a fool! The queen's tone was not good, and there was a faint hint of murderous intent.

"Slave maid... The slave really doesn't know..."Shang Gong was completely panicked, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks.

"Come on, drag this murderer of the emperor's heir down and kill him with a rod!"

"The queen spares her life! The queen spares her life!! ”

The queen ignored Shang Gong's plea for mercy, but her eyes inadvertently swept over the next concubine, and she seemed to believe that she had done it.

Shang Gong's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "It's Concubine Rou who is just a slave!" It was Concubine Rou who asked the slave to do this!! ”

The lower concubine Rou's body stiffened, and she turned her head to look at Shang Palace: "You don't want to spew blood, when did this palace instruct you!" ”

Shang Gong can't manage so much, just thinking that the queen and Concubine Rou have always been at odds, maybe he will blame this crime on Concubine Rou, and the queen will be able to leave her own life because she knows the times.

"What's going on? Why is Concubine Ai's face so bad? A deep voice sounded, and Emperor Beiyan, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, suddenly arrived and sat firmly on top.

Emperor Beiyan is about forty years old, fair-skinned and handsome, but he is a very beautiful man, but his steps are a little vain, and his eyes are slightly cloudy, which shows that he has been mixed in beauty for a long time, and his body has been hollowed out.

After everyone knelt on the ground and bowed, the person who flattered the queen spoke: "Your Majesty, I found catnip on the queen's phoenix robe that can make cats crazy, fortunately, the mother changed her mind temporarily today and did not wear this dress, otherwise, the child in this belly would be..."

The concubine on the side added a few more words on the side, and the whole thing became clear.

"It's so bold that someone actually hit my imperial heir with the idea!"

Emperor Beiyan's eyes swept over the trembling Shang Palace, and said, "You said that Concubine Rou instructed you to do it, do you have any evidence?" ”

Shang Gong only felt that one of his hearts was about to jump out, and said in a panic: "Yes... It was Concubine Rou who asked the slave to sprinkle this thing on the phoenix robe, and the concubine just gave the slave a packet of medicinal powder, and the slave sprinkled all of them on the phoenix robe, so... So..."

Emperor Beiyan frowned, and everyone was silent, waiting for his decision.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Beiyan spoke: "Drag this Diao woman down to death, as for Concubine Rou, remove the title of concubine, demote to Concubine Rou, and be grounded for three months!" ”

When the concubine Rou below heard this, she immediately looked at Emperor Beiyan pitifully, with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, why don't you go back and think about it quickly!"

"Your Majesty, this cat," said the eunuch holding the cat beside the queen.

"Drowned, drowned!" Emperor Beiyan waved his hand impatiently.

Chu Luoyi stood behind the withered branches, and saw from a distance that the noblewoman-like white cat was rudely pressed in the cold water by the eunuch for a long time, screaming again and again, and finally it was wet and carried out, and it was still buried on the ground at will.

The three blood marks on his hands were still dazzling, Chu Luoyi just stopped for a moment, then left expressionlessly and went to the place where Shang Palace was executed.

Shang Gong was pressed on the bench by two guards, and the board weighing dozens of pounds was a little terrifying in the hands of the guards, Shang Gong kept begging for mercy, but gradually, even the sound of begging for mercy became dying.

When Chu Luoyi arrived, Shang Gong, who was originally listless, suddenly seemed to be crazy, with hideous hatred in his eyes, desperately breaking free: "It's you!" It must be you!! ”

It didn't take long for the caller to fall heavily again, and with a scream, Shang Gong's clothes were covered with bright red.

Shang Gong's whole person was dying, but there was only a pair of eyes, but they were wide and round, staring at Chu Luoyi resentfully, she knew that it must be her! Because she reminded herself before the incident! But.. But I'm already very careful, how could I...

Chu Luoyi gave the two guards a piece of silver, and said, "I want to say goodbye to Shang Gongdao, I hope it will be convenient for the two of you." ”

When the guard saw the silver, he was not embarrassed, but only said to hurry up, and went to the door to keep guard.

"It's you... You're right! It was you who sprinkled catnip on the phoenix robe. Shang Gong was angry, but he didn't forget to raise his hand and point at Chu Luoyi.

Chu Luoyi just looked at her and didn't speak, and Shang Gong continued in a delirious state: "You despicable and shameless villain, you dare to frame me!" I won't let you go! ”

'Poof! A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Shang Gong was already inputting less air and outgoing more.

Chu Luoyi whispered in Shang Gong's ear: "Yes, it's me, my hands are covered with catnip, and when I picked up the phoenix robe and handed it to you, the catnip was already stained in the embroidery, now, you should be satisfied." ”
