Chapter 208: Testimony
Under the leadership of Gonggong Su, the Great Elder walked into the Heart Cultivation Hall in a panic.
"Old womanโ"
"Bold women and children, how dare you attack the royal family of Qi State?" The emperor did not expect to see the people of Miao Jiang again in this way.
Omitting the Great Elder's salute, the emperor said angrily: "Holding the officials and wives of the Qi State hostage, delusionally trying to harm King Yan, are you guilty?" โ
The Great Elder hurriedly knelt down and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please listen to the old woman's explanation." โ
"I'll give you a stick of incense to see how you quibble!"
The Great Elder turned his gaze as he stared at the ground, and spoke softly in accordance with the tone he had spoken to Ning Shu in advance.
"Your Majesty, the old woman met King Duan before she entered Beijing that day, and it was King Duan who forced the old woman to attack King Yan with an alliance. It's just that the queen is benevolent and takes King Yan to Dakong Temple to pray for blessings, and the old woman didn't have to do it. โ
"As for the kidnapping of Mrs. Xie, it was the old woman who failed to complete King Duan's orders and King Duan wanted to kill them all, and the old woman was trapped in Kyoto and had nowhere to escape, and it happened that Lord Xie discovered the secret of Jinshui Lake, and the old woman wanted to leave Kyoto under the cover of Mrs. Xieโโ"
"The old woman didn't hurt Mrs. Xie in the slightest, Mrs. Xie can testify to this!"
The emperor's dark eyes were staring at the black-robed man kneeling in the hall, and his majestic face spread to an old look for the first time at this moment.
"You say, it's King Duan?"
"What the old woman said is true, from the first meeting with King Duan and the time before King Duan went to Honglu Temple to find the old woman, everything has traces to follow!"
"Good! Good! Good! โ
The emperor laughed angrily and said three good words in a row.
Concubine Lian and Lian Rong's heartfelt words came to mind again, and the disgust for King Duan in their hearts had been sublimated to the extreme.
"Su Quan!"
Gonggong Su shook suddenly, how long has it been since the emperor called his full name?
"The minions are here."
The Emperor's gaze moved back and forth between the Empress, King Yan, and the Great Elder, and finally said in a deep voice, "Go and bring that rebel son to me!" โ
"Yes." Father-in-law Su hurriedly ran outside the hall, but before he could get out, he was stopped by a little eunuch.
"Chief Su, His Royal Highness King Kang has asked to see His Majestyโ"
Gonggong Su was stunned, the matter at hand was very urgent, King Kang has recently become an important figure in the emperor's heart because of the promotion of Concubine Xian.
He nodded, turned back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and spoke before the emperor questioned, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Kang asks to see you." โ
"What day is it? Another one? "The emperor already had a hunch, and King Kang must have come to testify against King Duan or Concubine Lian.
His state of mind calmed down instantly, and it seemed that no matter what big thing King Kang said, he was already mentally prepared to accept it.
King Kang walked in, followed by Concubine Xian, who had recently been favored.
When he saw the queen and King Yan, his expression was slightly stagnant, and then he knelt heavily like a queen.
"Son-in-law, see father."
"If there's anything, just say it!" The emperor's heart is haggard.
Without thinking, King Kang took out a letter from his arms, "Erchen affirms that his father is the master of Erchen!" โ
Father-in-law Su shuddered violently, as long as he saw the letter, he had a bad premonition.
But his footsteps did not dare to stop, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter, held it in the palm of his hand and handed it to the emperor.
The corner of the emperor's lips curled into a sneer, and he happily opened the envelope, and a medicine bag rolled out.
Gonggong Su hurriedly picked it up and put it aside, and the emperor ignored the medicine bag and read the contents of the letter directly.
The font on the letter was still familiar to him.
Over the years, countless twists and turns have been written in this font.
It's Lian Rong!
It's Lian Rong's letter to Concubine Lian!
The content of the letter is something that the emperor could never have dreamed of!
When Concubine Xian was just pregnant, Lian Rong went to Concubine Lian **** from outside the palace, and Concubine Lian attacked Concubine Xian, just to reduce a prince for the royal family and an opponent for Chu Huaiye!
"Okay, in the end, I still underestimate the Lian family's inhuman nature!"
It turned out that the poison that had tormented King Kang for many years turned out to be from the hands of Concubine Lian and Lian Rong!
Back then, he thoroughly investigated the entire harem, but Concubine Lian was still wanton.
Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous it was!
Concubine Xian lifted the hem of her skirt, and her deep complexion exposed her coldness at the moment.
"Your Majesty, the concubine learned the news of Concubine Lian's death, taking into account the relationship between the former master and servant, and wanted to go to Qinlanxuan to see her sister on her last journey, and when she was assisting the palace maid to sort out Concubine Lian's relics, she accidentally found this letterโโ"
Concubine Xian's eyes were open without blinking, regardless of the two lines of tears that could not be stopped, she slowly flowed out, and bowed deeply to the emperor with red eyes.
"The concubine implores Your Majesty to call the shots, and give mercy to her son!"
The queen glanced at Concubine Xian out of the corner of her eye, she rarely saw Concubine Xian fall behind, and she had never seen Concubine Xian criticize her behind her back.
I didn't expect that if I didn't make a move, it was amazing.
Compared with King Kang, who had been tortured by illness for many years, the Miao Jiang people were obviously inferior to King Yan's attempt.
I snorted coldly in my heart: A dog that can bite really won't bark!
The emperor looked at King Kang and Concubine Xian distressedly.
Especially King Kang's still weak body, compared to King Yan on the side, he has lost more than one lap!
"If you love the concubine, you should all be flat." The emperor leaned on the dragon chair in despair and said to Duke Su: "You don't have to go to the Duanwang Mansion, spread my will and summon the Praetorian Guards to the palace to the commander!" โ
"Yes!"
The queen was dismissed by the emperor, leaving only Concubine Xian to serve in the Yangxin Palace.
After walking out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, the queen sighed to King Kang without joy and worry: "Over the years, you have suffered. โ
"The son thanked his mother."
King Yan stood behind the queen and glanced at King Kang deeply.
He always felt that the seventh brother in front of him seemed to be different.
It's not just that his cloak has faded, it's not just that his expression has reduced the sickness he once had.
He felt that there was a renewed heroic spirit between King Kang's eyebrows, and more confidence in holding everything in his hands!
The queen smiled coldly, "But this palace is very curious, Concubine Xian has served Concubine Lian for so long, can't she see any clues about the poisoning?" โ
"After returning to my mother." King Kang bowed his hand, "The mother concubine is pure by nature and has good intentions towards everyone, especially the lotus concubine at that time, Erchen thinks that the mother concubine should have no doubts." โ
"What about you?" King Yan followed the queen's words and asked.
King Kang straightened his back, but he still had to be half a head shorter than King Yan, and if he wanted to face King Yan's eyes, he had to look up at King Duan.
"Third Emperor Brother, at that time, the seventh brother was still young, and he was tortured by illness all day long, how can you suspect Concubine Lianniang?"
After saying that, King Kang bowed his hand to the queen again and walked away.
King Yan snorted lightly: "It seems that he is still not lightly ill." โ
The queen stared at the distant back, and a subtle sense of threat suddenly arose in her heart.
