Chapter 334: Suing Concubine De
"You!"
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
The sound of the eunuch singing outside the house startled Concubine De, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
She squatted down, grabbed the shoulders of the third prince tightly with both hands, and her eyes revealed horror: "Xuan'er, you save your mother once, just once, from now on, I will definitely not ignore your feelings again, okay?" β
Before the third prince could understand what was happening, he saw his father who came in through the door angrily walking in.
Halfway through Concubine De's saluting posture, a slap came over, and she flew to the side and hit the stool, so painful that half of her ears had a moment of tinnitus and couldn't hear a sound.
But soon the emperor's thunderous and angry voice came: "Concubine De brutalized the palace people, the Lord is unkind, and now she wants to hurt the six princes, and her crimes are too numerous to be written, so she will be stripped of her title from now on, and after being punished in the riot room for 60 days, she will be demoted to a concubine and sent to the Fengxian Palace to atone for her crimes." β
Therefore, the emperor has found out that the two children of the queen's mother were all harmed by Concubine De, right?
Otherwise, why not Xinzheku? Not a cold palace? Isn't it a mecca that everyone hears about? It is the Fengxian Hall that enshrines the spiritual seat of the former queen.
Concubine De struggled to open her eyes, no! She doesn't want to go to the violent room, the violent room is dark, it is dark from morning to night, normal people can't stand it if they stay in it for three days, and she must be crazy for 60 days.
"Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't know what you're talking about?"
She knelt down and lifted her swollen face: "The emperor knows the concubine's character, even ants can't bear to step on one to death on weekdays, how can they do those crazy things?" Someone must have framed the concubine, please ask the emperor to investigate and return the concubine's innocence. β
"Before the queen died, she gave the palace a thing, Ning Feixiu, Concubine De never forgot it, right?"
Concubine De's eyebrows jumped fiercely, how could she forget?
Ning Feixiu is the former personal palace maid of the third prince, and she is one of the people she trusts the most, it can be said that even the status of the green capital is not as good as Ning Feixiu, otherwise the heavy responsibility of taking care of the third prince will not fall on her head.
But in order to frame Jiang Xinyue that time, the result was exposed, in order to cover up the truth, Ning Feixiu was killed by Concubine De, and the body was found in the queen's palace, which led everyone to believe that it was the queen who poisoned the third prince.
"You...... You ......"
Concubine De pointed at Jiang Xinyue and didn't say anything for a long time.
Not to mention Concubine De, even the emperor who came with her was in shock, and the queen was ...... before she died. Something else handed over to Yue'er?
Why had he never heard of it?
"Your Majesty!"
Jiang Xinyue raised her hand to the emperor and put it in front of her forehead, knelt down directly, and said in a sonorous tone: "The concubine wants to sue Concubine De and the Chengguo Mansion, their father and daughter were the culprits who killed the first prince and the second prince back then, and the queen mother handed over Ning Feixiu's blood book to the concubine when she left, and the concubine got this blood book, and there was no day when she was not worried about the safety of the six princes, but the concubine was afraid that this blood book would cause turmoil in the harem of the previous dynasty, so she had been hesitating. β
She took the blood book from the magpie's hand and held it above her head: "Your Majesty, the concubine only understood today that it is impossible for a person who is vicious by nature to make changes. For the safety of the fourth, fifth, and sixth princes, the concubine had to expose her true colors, and only hoped that the emperor's harem would not have any more princes die from now on. β
On the blood book, it is recorded in detail how Concubine De bought the people around the crown prince and the second prince, deceived their trust, and then pushed them step by step to the abyss of death.
Not only that, but in those years, the concubines in the palace kept having miscarriages, and the children born always died in less than three or five days, all of which were the handiwork of Concubine De.
Emperor Xuanwu glanced at ten lines, pinched the fingers of the blood book very hard, and the irrepressible anger attacked his heart, he gasped, pinched Concubine De's neck, and lifted her up from the ground.
No matter how much he scolded, it turned into the strength under his hands, pinching Concubine De's whole face to swell purple, and her feet left the ground, constantly fluttering.
"Father! Father! Father......
The third prince finally came back to his senses from his stunned, rushed to the emperor's feet and knelt down, grabbing the hem of his clothes: "Father, it's all the son's fault, it's all the son's fault, if the son's minister is not born, the mother concubine will not be wrong again and again." The son begged his father...... Ask the father to spare the life of the mother, the son is willing to go to the Fengxian Palace, the son of the minister from now on to eat fast and recite the Buddha, in the Fengxian Hall to serve the queen's spiritual position, the son of the minister to give her forgiveness, begging the father to spare her life. β
His head was like an iron beating, and he kowtowed to the ground with a thump, and his head broke and bled out.
Concubine De's throat was "hehe", almost wanting to fall into a coma.
"Phew!"
As soon as the emperor waved his hand, Concubine De was thrown out, her body smashed on the table, and she fell to the ground again, lying on the ground retching non-stop.
The third prince is still kowtowing: "Thank you father, thank you Imperial Concubine Niangniang, thank you father, thank you Imperial Concubine Niangniang......"
"You've figured it out."
Emperor Xuanwu's face condensed: "If you choose to exhaust the father-son relationship between us today, from now on, I will no longer treat you as my child, you will guard this poisonous woman, and stop thinking about things that will never belong to you." β
Tears fell from the corners of the eyes of the third prince: "My father has Zhen Niangniang, there are four brothers and six brothers, my father has many choices, she has nothing for her mother, she only has her sons, and her father ...... Erchen never thought of being a prince or an emperor. Erchen just wants to be an idle person in peace and quiet, and ask his father to ...... Fulfill. β
He was eight years old, no longer the kid who didn't understand anything for two years, and he knew what he was giving up today.
But......
If this dispute in the palace can make the mother concubine give up her obsession and be his mother with peace of mind, then it is worth giving up all this.
But if you just let Concubine De go to guard the ancestral hall, what will Jiang Xinyue do when she takes out the blood book?
Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.
If the scourge is not removed, how can we live in peace?
"The third prince has been studying in the prince's house for some time, have you learned the sentence that the prince breaks the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people? Concubine De is now not only the real culprit behind the eighteen lives in the palace, she also killed the first prince and the second prince, as well as the vast majority of pregnant concubines in the palace, all of whom were killed by her to part with her children. You intercede for her, you forgive her sins, but what about those whom she killed? Do they have a chance to beg for mercy? β
"If everyone kills so many people without paying for their lives, will the entire harem be in chaos?"
Whoever doesn't like it will be killed, and you don't have to lose your life anyway.
Concubine Wen, Concubine Yu and Ye Guiren had already listened to Jiang Xinyue's words and brought those concubines who had had miscarriages or lost their children to Yanqing Palace.
Hearing the three princes intercede for their mother, they all knelt at the door and cried.
