As soon as the next day dawned, Emperor Beiyan got up strongly, and the queen helped Emperor Beiyan sort out his clothes, and said, "Why did Your Majesty get up so early?" ”

"Wang Zhi." Emperor Beiyan said in a deep voice.

"The minions are here." The king pushed the door open and walked in.

"Immediately send the Dongchang guards to assist the commander of the palace and search the palace for me! Jinyi Wei immediately dispatched to thoroughly investigate the Imperial City! Emperor Beiyan's cloudy eyes flashed with fierceness, he could see the demeanor of the year, he wanted to see who was causing trouble, and he was disturbed.

Wang Zhi's brows moved slightly, and he bowed and said, "The slave obeys the order." ”

Within half an hour, the Dongchang guards, together with the commanders of the palace, launched a huge and earth-shaking search in the Beiyan Palace.

Under the leadership of the eunuch Wang Zhi, Jinyiwei was rampant in the imperial capital, setting off a storm, Wang Zhi used the name of the emperor to eradicate dissidents, framed and framed, collected countless jewels, and complained for a while.

At this moment, Zhao Zichuan, who was far away outside the city gate, had been escorted to the execution ground, the former handsome young man, wearing a defaced white shirt, was put in a prisoner car, his expression was in a trance, and he was deaf to the noise of the outside world.

The carriage was moving forward, looking at the lively people on both sides and pointing, some people said that Zhao Zichuan was wronged, but some people threw out a few cabbages and scolded him for deserving it, and the prisoners next to him were no different.

It had been two hours since the man drove all the way to the noon gate, and the man was pulled down from the prisoner's car with his head hanging down, and the chains on his hands and feet rattled.

The supervisor sat in front of the table, looked at Zhao Zichuan who was kneeling on the beheading platform, and then looked at the sun above his head, and felt that there was still a period of time before he asked for beheading, so he waited patiently.

The strong man with the big knife in his hand is full of muscles, and there is a red belt tied to his flesh, which is a little fierce.

Zhao Zichuan prayed silently in his heart, some time ago, his father sent someone to send a letter to him, so that he must hold on until the last moment, I don't know if his father really has a way to save him!

As soon as noon arrived, the beheader immediately spoke: "Noon has arrived, the execution begins!" ”

The onlookers were even more noisy for a while, because of nervousness, Zhao Zichuan's back was straight, but he was still pressed on the beheading platform.

The executioner squirted a mouthful of liquor on the bright big knife, and the silver knife was held high, reflecting the sun in the sky, refracting a dazzling light on Zhao Zichuan's face, making him close his eyes.

The knife fell, but at this critical moment, a guard ran out quickly in the distance: "Leave people under the knife!" Hurry up and keep people! ”

The executioner paused slightly, and everyone's eyes fell not far away, looking at the galloping horses, and the people on both sides gave way one after another.

The two officials stopped the people, and the supervisor stood up and said, "Who is coming?" ”

The guard turned over and dismounted, neatly showed the gold medal in his hand and said: "The gold medal for avoiding death is here, please release the person quickly!" ”

The supervisor looked fixedly, frowned slightly, looked at several colleagues beside him, and was a little undecided for a while.

"It's... This.."

The guard spoke: "Why didn't you let people go when you saw the gold medal for avoiding death?" ”

After discussing for a while, several people said: "Since you have a gold medal for avoiding death, then the official will temporarily put Zhao Zichuan back in the mansion, but the official still needs to return to the saint for this matter, please Zhao Gongzi do not leave the imperial capital for the time being." ”

Zhao Zichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and the officials on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help him untie the chains, and the old man Zhao and the family members of the Zhao Mansion who came over tightly surrounded Zhao Zichuan who came out for a while.

At this moment, in the Beiyan Palace, the guards are conducting an overwhelming search.

Chu Luoyi stood beside Concubine Rou, looking at the rampaging guards, silent.

Concubine Rou stood in front of the gate of Shuihua Palace with everyone, looking at the guards who were looking around, and did not stop them.

After a while, one of the guards was heard, "Commander, come and see!" ”

The commander of the guards glanced at Concubine Rou, turned and ran towards the place where the guard was, and the guard had already crouched down to pick up the leaves and took out two puppets from a thin layer of earth.

Gently shaken it, the handwriting on the puppet was clearly presented, with the name of the emperor and the emperor and the eight characters of birth written respectively, several people took a step back, and the commander of the guards turned his head to the people beside him: "Send someone to tell Your Majesty." ”

"Yes." The guards trotted out, and the captain of the guards walked towards the men.

"Dare to ask Concubine Rou, what is this?" The commander of the guards held up the puppet in his hand.

Concubine Rou's gaze fell on the two puppets in her big hand, and she was shocked, and turned her head to look at Chu Luoyi.

Chu Luoyi's face was silent, his expression was unwavering, and he looked at Concubine Rou, but there was no reaction.

The mandarin duck stepped forward in disbelief and looked at the puppet in the guard's hand: "How can this be.. How so.. How could such a thing appear in the mother's place? ”

"I'm afraid I have to ask Concubine Rou Niangniang." The commander of the guards did not let the mandarin duck touch the puppet in his hand.

"You are talking nonsense, how can our mothers know! Someone must blame her, it must be! The mandarin duck was so anxious that he shouted at the commander of the guards.

The guard sneered: "It's up to Your Majesty to decide who did it." ”

The mandarin duck seemed to suddenly remember something, rushed towards Chu Luoyi, and grabbed her shoulder tightly: "Isn't it you..." Did you do it! You're here to harm our mother, you're not here to help our mother! This must have been designed by you from the beginning, right? ”

Chu Luoyi looked at the flustered mandarin duck in front of him, and took her hand down: "You don't seem to have heard what the guards said, everything is decided by Your Majesty, or do you think that you can interrogate on behalf of Your Majesty." ”

The mandarin duck's face turned red, he stared at Chu Luoyi, he was not angry, and finally said viciously: "Let me tell you, if something goes wrong with our mother, I will never let you go!" ”

Concubine Rou looked at Chu Luoyi's expression, but she never saw anything, and a little anger rose in her heart, she had always held everything in her hands, but now she had unknowingly become a pawn in the hands of this woman, and she didn't even know her upcoming fate.

The mandarin duck held Concubine Rou tightly: "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Chu Luoyi swept the magpie standing behind Concubine Rou with her afterglow, only to see that she lowered her head lower.

Not long after, Emperor Beiyan and the queen appeared in Shuihua Palace together, menacing, and Emperor Beiyan's face was full of monstrous anger.

Seeing this, the commander of the guards hurriedly presented the things in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is something that was found from under the laurel tree in front. ”

Emperor Beiyan snatched it with one hand, looking at the juanxiu font on it, his face became more and more ugly, the queen stood on the emperor's side and also glanced at it, and immediately staggered back a step, if it weren't for the maid behind him, he was afraid that it would be difficult to stand firm.

"Zhao Wanrou! You are so bold that you dare to curse me and the queen with witchcraft! Emperor Beiyan roared.

Concubine Rou looked at the angry Emperor Beiyan, as if she had been struck by lightning, and knelt in front of Emperor Beiyan with a pale face: "Your Majesty.. The first emperor once explicitly forbade witchcraft, and you treat your concubines with all kinds of favors, how can your concubines curse you and the queen's mother! ”

"Your Majesty, could there be any misunderstanding here... You have been treating Concubine Rou's sister as kind as a mountain, what reason does she have to harm you?" The queen whispered from the side.

Emperor Beiyan sneered: "Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart, she must be resentful because I did not pardon Zhao Zichuan!" ”

Concubine Rou sat on the ground with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, how can the concubine hold a grudge against this matter, my brother has committed a heinous mistake, if Your Majesty spares his life, it is Your Majesty who is magnanimous and ignorant of previous suspicions, if Your Majesty refuses to let go of your brother, it is also my brother's crime that I deserve, how dare the concubine hold a grudge!" ”

"Enough! I don't want to listen to your lies anymore, I also told the queen about how you haven't come to ask me since you fainted and woke up that day, it turns out that you are cursing me and the queen behind your back, no wonder I and the queen are unwell one after another today! Emperor Beiyan waved his hand and turned his back behind him.

Concubine Rou chuckled out in disbelief, tears rolling down her cheeks, and looked directly at Emperor Beiyan: "Your Majesty.. The concubine has followed you for so many years, how could you do such a thing, the concubine has no brother, does the concubine still want to kill her husband? ”

Emperor Beiyan looked at her appearance, listened to her words, and couldn't help but think of the past, this woman was gentle and bright, and her hard heart was slightly loosened...

Concubine Rou cried and continued: "What reason does the concubine have to do this... If there is no protection from His Majesty, how can the concubines, orphans and widows survive in this deep palace, and who can protect the safety of the concubines, mothers and children? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no reason for Niangniang to do this." Several concubines who also returned to Concubine Rou also pleaded for Concubine Rou.

Emperor Beiyan seems to be a little moved, Concubine Rou's words do make some sense, if she is really dead, according to Concubine Rou's power, her son Twelve Princes will definitely not be the emperor, if other princes become emperors, I am afraid that in the end she and her son will not escape death.

She is a smart woman, and she will definitely not cut off all retreats for a brother, and the fish will die!

Chu Luoyi stood behind the mandarin duck, observing the situation in the field through her cover.

Concubine Rou is a concubine in the end, at this moment, she can still ensure that she is so sensible, but after saying this, she can win back a lot of life.

It's a pity that the queen carefully set up a situation for this, and it seemed that she was targeting Zhao Zichuan and distracting Concubine Rou's mind before, but the actual purpose was to deal with Concubine Rou's witchcraft today.

The queen took advantage of her pregnancy and poisoning to order the Guozhang Mansion to chase after Zhao Zichuan, and Emperor Beiyan categorically wanted to punish Zhao Zichuan severely in order to calm the angry queen's line.

Later, the Guozhang Mansion pursued the victory, and used the corruption of official silver to put Zhao Zichuan to death, and the Northern Yan Emperor was furious and must have taken his life.

The two reasons are stacked, no matter how Concubine Rou intercedes, the emperor also wants to give an explanation to the Guozhang Mansion, and also give a decision for the well-known corruption of officials and silver, which is destined to Emperor Beiyan will not let go, and Zhao Zichuan will die!
