Chapter 749 To kill or not to kill? (add more)

The emperor will not save her, she knows.

This person looks very gentle and affectionate, but in fact he is very ruthless.

If it wasn't for King Jin's sake, the emperor would have wanted her dead when she bribed the bandits last time.

No, no, the emperor is not like this, she has been with him for so many years, she knows his character well.

He seldom kills people cruelly, and rarely does things absolutely.

As long as she doesn't admit it, she still has a chance!
Most importantly, Zhao Xiwei is not dead!
Pei Cairen's thoughts were all confused, and he had thought of all the words to excuse himself, but for a while, he didn't know which sentence to say to be useful, and he was too emotional, so he choked up like this.

"Yes, yes!" At this time, an elderly concubine kindly helped her to excuse, "Cai Ren empress is in charge of the harem, and she is the birth mother of King Jin, how could she do such a thing at the risk of infamy?"

"That's right!" Although Pei Cairen didn't have many friends in the harem, but now the biggest enemy in the harem is Concubine Shu, she also has a few more teammates invisibly.

Immediately, several others responded: "Your Majesty, if the talented lady is really so ruthless, how can the concubine and others live well up to now? You have to trust the lady!"

Another person pointed at Zhao Xiwei with righteous indignation: "You must have done it on purpose! You stabbed King Jin first, and you were afraid of being questioned by His Majesty, so the thief shouted, catch the thief, and beat him up!"

"Yes, it's you who framed the empress!"

"Yes, she was the one who falsely accused the concubine!" Pei Cairen finally cleared his mind, and climbed up the conversation pole, "Your Majesty, you must trust the concubine! The concubine once ruled the harem and was the birth mother of the King of Jin." , how could such a thing be done?"

He also felt that the parrot-like excuse was not enough, so he added another paragraph: "Your Majesty, she stabbed King Jin first, and my concubine wished her to die! But how could my concubine really buy murder?"

The emperor took a deep breath, did not speak, but looked at the prince.

Li Xuanye had already taken his seat at some point.

According to the rules, he sat alone at the seat, accompanied by the emperor on the left side, and the drinks and cakes were all displayed alone.

At this time, the tableware in front of him should be removed, and the long table is empty, but the emptiness is particularly shocking——

On the dark red tablecloth with a golden edge, there was a gleaming sword.

There is no decoration on the body of the sword, only simple cloud and water patterns are carved.

This is the prince's special sword.

To be precise, this is the sword used by the emperor of this dynasty.

From the day the prince took over the government, the emperor gave him the sword.

The power of life and death, except for the princes and generals, can be determined by themselves, and there is no need to ask the emperor.

Li Xuanye sat there, his fingers casually placed on the hilt of the sword, his expression was indifferent, showing no emotion.

But everyone knows that the prince used this sword to put down the border thieves.

It doesn't know how many enemy heads it killed, and how much blood it stained...

Pei Cairen only took one look, then felt his eyes darkened, and he almost collapsed on the ground: The prince doesn't want to kill her, does he?
Do not!
She still has chips and can save herself!
Pei Cairen made up his mind, brewed his emotions, and then straightened his back so that his kneeling posture maintained a sense of indomitable strength, and then raised his head.

Almost instantly, crystal tears appeared in her eyes.

She choked up and sobbed: "Your Majesty, I really want her to die, and I did buy a girl..."

"Arong! Do you know what you are talking about!" The emperor stood up abruptly, pointing a finger at the woman not far away, "You are the concubine of Zhen, you are the biological mother of King Jin!" !you you……"

"Yes!" Pei Cairen's tears rolled down, "But the concubine just bribed a 13-year-old girl! She is so thin and small that she can't even catch a chicken! The concubine bribed her just to let her Zhao Xiwei's diet is just a little medicine! Yes! It's the kind of medicine that can make her half-dead for the rest of her life! The concubine hates her so much, how could she just die? Your Majesty, you have to trust the concubine!"

The emperor was so angry that his breath became short of breath: "You, you!"

Pei Cai burst into tears, and bowed deeply on the ground: "The concubine made a mistake, but the concubine did not kill anyone!"

The emperor finally came up in one breath, and roared out a complete sentence: "You did a good job!"

Pei Cairen was lying on the ground, sobbing and crying: "Although the concubine didn't kill anyone, the concubine did have murderous intentions. If your majesty wants the concubine to die, the concubine dare not not die. I only hope that the concubine will not die after many years of kindness. For the sake of this, don't harm King Jin..."

She no longer defended herself, and she also lost her domineering attitude. She just knelt down on the ground, her shoulders shaking from crying, but her posture was surprisingly decent.

The emperor glared at the woman angrily.

Listening to her recounting her grievances over and over again: "Prince Jin is a very filial child... His Majesty wants him to leave the capital, he will leave Beijing obediently, and His Majesty wants him to stay in the fief, he will never take a step... ...He is only so tall, so he left me and His Majesty...He is just a child who wants to be loved by his parents..."

Finally, he put his hands on the armrest again, and sat down slowly.

At this time, Pei Cairen's crying came to an end: "Your Majesty, my concubine made thousands of mistakes, but it was also because of King Jin. It hurts the child's body, and the pain in the mother's heart. As a parent, who can bear his own child?" Injured? The concubine doesn't believe it, when you heard the child calling his father in a coma, don't you feel distressed or uncomfortable at all?"

The emperor lowered his head, put his finger between his eyebrows, and pressed it little by little, as if he was making a difficult decision.

Pei Cairen didn't say anything more, only the sound of sobbing, one by one, like dripping water, falling gently in the still night.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Xiwei waited for a moment before choosing to attack.

She had confirmed that it was true that the emperor was angry about this matter, but it was also true that he did not want to deal with Pei Cairen.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Pei Cairen also began to cry: "Your Majesty, you have to trust the concubine. The concubine really didn't want her to die. The concubine is in charge of the harem and knows what can and can't be done. The concubine just loves King Jin , I lost my head for a while, and almost made a big mistake..."

"Okay!" Zhao Xiwei couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled, "You still have the nerve to mention King Jin, and your Majesty? You have a vicious mind and no intention of repentance. To you, killing people is as simple as eating and drinking. How can you be worthy of His Majesty's trust like this? How can you gain power in the harem?"

Smiling coldly, she raised her voice and said sharply: "You keep saying that you are for King Jin, but you don't know that having a mother like you is his biggest stain! It is also the shame of his life!"

"You!" Pei Cairen was already unwilling to be reconciled, how could he endure being scolded like this?My mind was so hot that I almost got up, but it was just that hot, and I quickly regained my senses.

Because, the moment she was about to get up, she clearly saw that the prince's hand on the hilt suddenly tightened!

She trembled all over, half paralyzed and half kneeling, and then lay on the ground again.

Zhao Xiwei didn't want to see her and the emperor sing against each other again.

This one sings a bad face and the other sings a red face, but she is not sure about the crime, and she is not interested in accompanying her.

She turned her body to Li Xuanye, and asked lightly: "Your Highness said that you want to make decisions for me, is this really true?"
