Chapter 59: The Fate of the Rui Guiren
"Your Majesty, this matter is already clear, His Royal Highness Su Yiting kept saying that he had no affair with the Rui nobles, why did the mother who delivered the baby in this palace find out that the Rui nobles were happy with others!"
"Your Highness Su Yiting, what are you still arguing about here?"
Concubine Jiang completely grabbed the handle of Su Yiting and Dong Guifei, and scolded the two of them angrily.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Su Yiting lied to His Majesty, this is the crime of deceiving the king! Now, His Royal Highness Shu Yiting has committed the crime of deceiving the king and the crime of defiling the harem at the same time, and I ask Your Majesty to decide!"
「……!!!」
At this moment, Su Yiting felt that his neck became cold.
His whole face changed greatly, and he silently thought in his heart that he was going to be finished, because he was too scared, Su Yiting directly reached out and tried to grab the sleeve of his mother Dong Guifei for help.
For a long time, his mother, Concubine Dong Guifei, was the one with the most ideas.
"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be concluded like this!" Dong Guifei saw her son's plea for help, and gritted her teeth to defend her son, "Although the midwife is happy with the nobles, the other party is not necessarily Yi Ting! Yi Ting had already told Your Majesty that when he broke into the painting boat, he saw Rui Guiren lying on the bed!"
"This shows that the Rui nobles really took advantage of the begging festival in the palace to escape from the palace gate and have fornication with others!"
Even though the evidence was already in front of her, Dong Guifei still refused to admit that this matter was related to Su Yiting.
"Erchen...... Erchen was really wronged! Please also ...... Please also ask your father to be the master of your sons! Erchen really didn't have a good time with Rui Guiren!"
There was no turning back from the bow.
Su Yiting knew that at this time, if he didn't insist on what he had just said, then he was very likely to be labeled as a bully!
"Su Yiting, you really didn't lie to the orphan?"
His Majesty looked at Su Yiting, who was kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy in front of him, and spoke with a solemn cold voice.
"Nope! Erchen definitely has no filthy harem! Please also ask my father to see clearly, and return the innocence of his son!"
Su Yiting no matter who asked, he only insisted that this matter had nothing to do with him! Concubine Dong Guifei also saw that His Majesty had moved his true character, and her heart followed seven up and down.
"Su Yiting, although Lone loves your son the most, if you lie to Lone and deceive the king, then Lone will definitely not be spared, do you understand?"
"Ming ...... Understood!"
Su Yiting was so weak that he didn't dare to look up at you, but the only thing he knew was that at this moment, he must not change his words.
Su Yiting didn't know how long he could last.
Dong Guifei saw the monarch in the palace asking her son step by step, and she was already anxious, and she was worried every moment that her son would open his mouth to admit everything because he couldn't hold back.
Concubine Dong clenched her fists and used all her strength, she hoped that she could bear the pressure from the emperor instead of her son, but in fact, she couldn't do anything.
It wasn't until she saw the look that her personal palace maid handed her outside the door of the imperial study, and at that moment, Concubine Dong finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, today's concubine has a bold guess, Rui Guiren left the palace today just to have a private meeting with the wild man outside, but my son Shu Yiting accidentally broke into the painting boat because he was drunk and ruined the good deeds of the female godmother, so they want to pull my son into the mud pit together."
"Your Majesty, the concubine dares to swear by her position as a noble concubine, my son Shu Yiting is definitely not the one who is happy with the Rui noble!"
"Your Majesty, the concubine knows that Your Majesty is the most just and strict, and she will definitely not let our son be wronged!"
Dong Guifei's gambling curse and oath, coupled with Su Yiting's categorical denial, for a while, His Majesty didn't know whose words were credible and whose words couldn't be believed.
"Your Majesty, the slave has found new evidence of the crime!"
Outside, Dong Guifei's personal palace maid Jin Tong listened to the master's assurances before entering the imperial study.
"What kind of incriminating evidence, you hurry up and present it to Lone?"
His Majesty didn't know what to do with everything in front of him, and after hearing Jin Tong's words, he was busy announcing people into the palace.
"Your Majesty, the evidence of the slave and maid is not an object, but a person!" After Jin Tong gave Dong Guifei a reassuring look, he turned around and ordered, "Jinbao, you escort the guards outside in!"
Jin Bao and Jin Tong are both eunuchs and palace maids in Dong Guifei's palace, Dong Guifei saw that the people under her hands had done things properly, and her heart was a little more settled.
"Yes!"
When Jin Bao escorted the guards into the imperial study, the Rui nobles on the side directly changed their faces.
The guard who was escorted in was the one she had bribed.
"Rui Guiren, it seems that you are very familiar with this palace guard, as soon as he comes in, your face changes greatly, Rui Guiren, he is the object of your fornication behind His Majesty's back, yes or no?"
When Concubine Dong saw Rui Guiren's face, she added fuel to the fire and directly pointed all the spearheads at Rui Guiren and the guards.
"Concubine Niangniang, it's not like this!"
"Rui Guiren, you don't have to quibble here! I tell you, this guard has confessed all our sins in front of our minions!"
"He said that during the time that Your Majesty kept you in lockdown, you have always been restless, and every day you want to go out of the palace to see Your Majesty!"
"In order to be able to get out of the palace, you tried every means to bribe him, at first it was gold and silver jewelry, and when all your jewelry was gone, you started selling your body again!"
Jin Tong didn't want Rui Guiren to continue, so he directly interrupted Rui Guiren's defense.
"Your Majesty, the concubines don't! The concubine really didn't have anything to do with the palace guards!" When Rui Guiren saw Jin Tong fasten the hat of fornication on her head, he hurriedly defended, "The concubine admitted that she once used gold and silver jewelry to buy the guards in order to go out of the palace to see Your Majesty, but I really didn't have a relationship with the guards!"
Rui Guiren was worried that she would explain too late, and at that time, she would not only lose her life, but also her parents and brothers would suffer.
"Rui Guiren, you don't have to try to deceive Your Majesty with rhetoric here! We outsiders don't know what a shameful thing you've done, but your personal palace maid knows!"
Jin Tong and Jin Bao brought not only the guards today, they also brought another person.
"Back to Your Majesty, the slave also brought Rui Guiren's personal palace maid Lian'er over, she has been serving by Rui Guiren's side, Your Majesty can learn everything Rui Guiren has done from Lian'er!"
"Come on, bring Lian'er to Lone!"
Seeing this, His Majesty angrily ordered everyone on the side to bring Rui Guiren's personal maid up.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Jin Tong hurriedly pulled Lian'er outside into the imperial study.
"Slave Lian'er...... I've seen Your Majesty......
"Lian'er, you have to be honest with Lone, what is the relationship between Rui Guiren and this guard in front of you? Have you ever seen your master do any sneaky things?"
"Today, if you don't tell the truth you know, you will have your head in the head!"
Your Majesty is furious, where can Lian'er, a maidservant, bear this?
"Your Majesty, the slave must know everything! I will never dare to deceive Your Majesty!"
"Actually, my master, Noble Rui, was able to stay in the palace according to His Majesty's orders at first, but ...... But then my master heard that Lord Lin Haishan had been sentenced to beheading and waiting in prison, and she couldn't sit still anymore......
"My master was able to enter the palace to serve His Majesty because of Lord Lin's recommendation, and when the master heard that Lord Lin had fallen, she thought that she would also be rejected by His Majesty, so she was very anxious in her heart......
"The master begged many servants in our palace at that time, and she wanted to escape from the palace in the guise of us, and then go to see Your Majesty......
"But we are all slaves, we don't have the courage to disobey His Majesty's orders for our masters, and later, when I wish myself to see that we slaves don't help her, she will beat and scold us at every turn, and every word that the slave and maid just said is true, and the slave and maid still have it
The scars left by the nobles beating and scolding the slaves and maids!"
Lian'er rolled up her sleeves while complaining, and the moment she rolled up her sleeves, everyone present gasped.
Because Lian'er's arm was already scarred, and she didn't even have a good place!
"Rui Guiren, you poisonous woman! The slaves and maids in the palace don't follow your wishes, and that's how you treat them? You're raised by your mother's father just like them!"
His Majesty looked at Lian'er's injury, frowned, and scolded Rui Guiren who was kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, things are not what you think, are they...... It was the concubine who punished Lian'er, but ...... But that's because Lian'er, this girl, doesn't listen to me! She is my slave, and if she doesn't listen to her master, of course I can teach her a lesson......
Rui Guiren found that his depiction was getting darker and darker, and immediately closed his mouth.
At this moment, Rui Guiren suddenly discovered something - Lian'er was bought.
Together with the guard beside her, I am afraid that they will be bribed together!
Because she was confined by His Majesty, she was snubbed a lot, and even the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace wanted to bully her all the time.
Rui Guiren looked down on her because of the dog slave, so he beat and scolded Lian'er at every turn.
She just wanted to establish her prestige with Lian'er, but she never expected that Lian'er would bite her back at this time!
"Your Majesty, it's all a conspiracy! All this is a conspiracy set up by Dong Guifei and them! Lian'er ...... Lian'er, she has been bought by Concubine Dong!"
"Your Majesty, you can't trust the words that come out of their mouths, they have carefully choreographed them!"
Rui Guiren complained to His Majesty hysterically, but unfortunately, His Majesty would not believe her now that she said anything.
"Master, how long will you lie to Your Majesty? Today, you just want to go out with this guard, so you locked the slave in the house!"
"Slave ...... The slave and maid have long known about the unclear affair between you, but ...... But the slave didn't dare to say it, because the slave was afraid that the master would beat me to death!"
"Fortunately, God has eyes, and finally let His Majesty find out these treacherous things you did behind his back!"
Lian'er's red mouth and white teeth directly knocked Rui Guiren into the abyss.
"Your Majesty, Lian'er failed to hold the master when the master had an affair with someone for the first time, the slave and maid should die, please punish Your Majesty!"
Lian'er knocked on the ground, and Rui Guiren suddenly felt that his life was over.
"The Rui noble people defiled the palace, gave poisoned wine, and everyone in the Rui noble family was assigned to Lingnan, and they were not allowed to enter Kyoto again in this life!"
"As for the guards who have fornicated with the Rui nobles, they will be killed immediately! His family members were also sent to Lingnan!"
His Majesty looked at the pair of dog men and women in front of him, and he was directly furious and went on a killing spree.
"Father, son...... Son's ......"
After listening to Rui Guiren's verdict, a big stone fell in his heart, and he cautiously asked.
"Su Yiting has a bad character, his behavior is wrong, and the punishment is closed in the house for half a month!"
