Chapter 381: Things are not people
Xiao Ti reported the news of Shen Rui's death to the old emperor.
The old emperor was struck by lightning, and a stream of blood surged up, and he spat blood on the spot!
Finally he closed his eyes and fainted.
It freaked everyone out.
Even the Empress Dowager Deng was alarmed and hurried to the palace to visit the emperor.
After the emergency rescue of the imperial doctors, the old emperor quickly woke up from his coma.
But his complexion was still very bad, and he was weak to speak.
"Riele...... Is he really dead? ”
Xiao Ti replied truthfully: "Yes, the bodies of the six princes have been sent to the Righteous Law Division for further autopsy, please mourn Your Majesty." ”
Among all the princes, the old emperor's favorite is Shen Rui.
He even had the idea of making Shen Rui the crown prince.
Even though he was extremely disappointed in Shen Rui later, he never thought that he really wanted Shen Rui's life.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood, and he had high hopes, how could he be so ruthless as to kill Shen Rui?
He originally wanted to lock Shen Rui up for a while first, so that Shen Rui would suffer a little.
If Shen Rui can sincerely repent, he will assign a remote fief to Shen Rui, so that Shen Rui can have a place to spend the rest of his life in peace.
But he didn't expect Shen Rui to die like this!
Empress Dowager Deng felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't do it.
She asked, wiping tears from her eyes.
"How the hell did Ruil die?"
Xiao Ti: "Judging from the current evidence, the sixth prince should have hanged himself, and there is also a suicide note from him, please look at Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”
He pulled a letter from his sleeve and held it in both hands.
Wei Huaien stepped forward to take the letter and forward it to the emperor.
But the old emperor and the Empress Dowager Deng's eyesight was not very good, and the two of them had a hard time reading the letter, and in the end they could only be helped by Wei Huaien to read out the contents of the letter.
After hearing this, the old emperor was both angry and sad.
"If he had realized his mistake earlier, why did he get to this point?!"
Empress Dowager Deng didn't expect that the emperor's grandson, who seemed to be well-behaved and obedient on weekdays, would do so many bad things in private.
She also felt that Shen Rui was too stupid, and she didn't want to put a good future in mind, so she went to seek skin with the Nine Emperor Princes and Tigers of Chen Kingdom.
But everyone is already dead, the dead are the greatest, and the Empress Dowager Deng can't say anything about him, so she can only say in the end.
"Rui'er is Concubine Shu's only child, and she must be notified of this."
The old emperor didn't know what he thought, and his expression changed.
He called Wynne to him and whispered a few words.
After listening to this, Wei Huaien's expression did not change at all.
"Slave and maid, let's do it."
With that, he withdrew.
Soon the third prince, the fourth prince, and the seventh prince all came.
They all came to visit their sick father.
Xiao Ti asked for his farewell.
Before leaving, the old emperor handed over the case of the death of the sixth prince to him.
Xiao Ti was ordered to leave.
When he walked out of the gate of the dormitory, he happened to pass by the three princes.
The expressions of the third prince and the fourth prince were very eager, and the pace of their feet was faster than the other.
Only the Seventh Prince's eyes were red, and his face was full of grief.
He was not in good health, walked slowly, and fell last.
Xiao Ti stepped aside, and when the three princes had walked past him, he continued to walk out.
A faint cry came from behind him.
"Woo, are you okay, Father? I heard that you vomited blood, and I was so scared that my son's heart almost stopped. ”
In the dormitory, the old emperor looked at his three sons kneeling beside the bed, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
These are his sons, and he naturally values them.
But people's fingers are still long and short, not to mention people's hearts.
Among all the sons, the old emperor's favorite was Shen Rui, the sixth prince.
But it was Shen Rui who disappointed him the most.
The high hopes placed on him for so many years have all been in vain in the end.
The old emperor spoke weakly.
"You should all know about Rui'er, right?"
The three princes reacted the fastest.
He was the first to speak.
"The sixth brother is too confused!
As the prince of the wild goose, he dared to collude with foreign enemies and turned his elbow outward.
Chen Guo has always been a wolf's ambition, and the sixth brother is clearly luring the wolf into the room.
If you want to change it to a son, even if the son-in-law dies, it is impossible to bow to the enemy! ”
The fourth prince regretted that he was a step slower.
But he didn't dare to be distracted, and as soon as the third prince took a breath, he couldn't wait to continue.
"The sixth brother is young, and he has been pampered by Concubine Shu for so many years, so it is normal for his personality to be a little impulsive.
It's just that his mistake this time is really too big.
What's even more hateful is that after he made a mistake, not only did he not repent, but he even found a short-sightedness?!
Doesn't he know how upset his father will be by doing so?
Look at my father and the emperor are so angry with him that they vomit blood, unfilial and unrighteous things, I really don't want to admit that there is such a brother as him! ”
The old emperor listened to them quietly, and there was no change in the expression on his face.
He looked at the Seventh Prince, who was kneeling at the back, and asked.
"Zhuo'er, why don't you speak?"
The Seventh Prince, Shen Zhuo, raised his head slightly, revealing a pale face, and his eyes were already red from crying.
He said in a dumb voice: "The sixth brother is dead, and the son is very uncomfortable. ”
Old Emperor: "Don't you think he deserves it?" ”
Shen Zhuo: "The sixth brother did make mistakes, but no matter what he became, he was the elder brother of Erchen, and Erchen only hated himself for being too incompetent to stop him when Sixth Brother made mistakes." ”
After speaking, he knelt on the ground, his thin body trembled slightly, and a faint cry came out.
Seeing this, the old emperor couldn't help but be a little moved.
He asked Shen Zhuo to help him up.
"You're a good boy."
Although it was just a simple compliment, it made the third prince and the fourth prince change their faces.
They said so much just now, and my father didn't even make a single comment.
Shen Zhuo just shed a few tears, and his father praised him.
The gap between the three of them was opened up all of a sudden.
……
Since the last time Concubine Shu had spoken alone with the emperor in the Shang study, she had been grounded.
For the past two days, she has been locked up in the palace and can't go anywhere.
Although she has not been named the queen over the years, she can manage the affairs of the harem on behalf of the queen, which can be regarded as a unique scenery, even if many newcomers have entered the palace one after another, but no one can overshadow her limelight.
Every day, there are people who sharpen their heads and want to drill into the palace of shock, and there are countless people who come to her to show their courtesy.
But now it's no longer human.
The courtyard of the palace was cold, and the faces that were open and attentive in the past were all gone.
When Wei Huaien led people into the Shocking Palace, the palace people were very nervous.
They don't know if Grandpa Wei brought good news or bad news this time?
Liu Zhi helped Shu Guifei and walked out.
Concubine Shu Guifei has not eaten well or slept well in the past two days, and her spirit seems to be very poor.
She wasn't even in the mood to dress up, she was wearing a loose skirt, and when she sat down, she glanced at Wynne and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"In the past two days, you have been the only one who has taken the initiative to step into the Astonishing Palace."
