famous eldest daughter

Chapter 715
The emperor listened with anger and heartache.

His good son, his good son...

As Gongsun Mu tremblingly explained everything that had been slightly rectified, Xiao Yi's gray and blue face, cheekbones trembled with spasms, and his whole body no longer had the strength to kneel up straight, and collapsed to the ground with breathless breath. , the chapped lips were slightly open, and the eyes were motionless, like a goldfish dying of lack of water, eyes full of despair.

Originally, Gongsun Mu was his retreat.

"...The letter that the minister submitted was a forged letter that His Highness ordered the envoy to write... What I know, I have said. As for the third highness who did all this because of collusion with the people of Liaodong, I really don't know , If I knew that there was collaborating with the enemy and treason, I would not submit even to my death."

"Your Majesty spares my life for the sake of your loyalty and devotion to the imperial court." After Gongsun Mu said this, he kowtowed desperately.

Gu Yuqing looked coldly at Gongsun Mu, who was begging for mercy before he died, and at Xiao Yi, who was so desperate and frightened that he could not breathe, and his heart skipped a beat.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason should be punished. Even if he is just an accomplice who is threatened by others, the emperor may not take Wang Daosheng's life, but Gongsun Mu, the emperor will definitely not let go. Not to mention other things, just to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and to punish Chao Gang, those who are waiting for the Hussar General's mansion should also be executed.

Xiao Yi...Even though all the facts prove that he is the mastermind of the real murderer, one is that he has the status of a prince, and the other is that he is protected by the empress and the British government. Gu Yuqing cannot be sure about his death penalty.

If you want to completely kill Xiao Yi, you must completely kill the Queen and the British Duke.

Just as he was thinking about it, after hearing everything that Gongsun Mu had done, the emperor was furious and gritted his teeth and said: "You traitor, what do you have to say now? My face has been completely lost by you! I...I don't have you like this." Son! Come here, take this thing that doesn’t know what the king’s law is and put it in the sky prison!”

Heavenly prison, but not death row, indeed!

Gu Yuqing squeezed the silk handkerchief slightly, and the eyes flashed...

It is said that the prince is as guilty as the common people when he commits a crime, but the facts prove that no matter where he is, he can really be as guilty as the common people!

The prince is the prince!
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a chamberlain came forward to drag Xiao Yi away. Xiao Yi, who had been lying on the ground like a dead dog, was so angry that he followed the chamberlain to pull his sleeves. Suddenly, he recovered as if he was returning to the light. Come on, throw away the two chamberlains on the left and right, jump up and look straight at the emperor.

"Father, why in the beginning, when all the evidence pointed to Gu Zhen and Xiao Yu, you hesitated and thought about it in every possible way, but refused to issue the order. Now, as my son, you don't even think about it. , are you going to throw your son into a prison?"

Aggressive questioning voices burst out of his mouth, filled with anger and resentment.

"My son is also my father's child. How come my father is so partial! Xiao Yu is the prince, isn't my son the same? Why, when Xiao Yu makes mistakes many times, my father just scolds him and is reluctant to even beat him. If I commit a crime, I will be sent to prison!"

"Is it because I don't have a mother-in-law, and no one blows my pillow in front of my father? Is it because the emperor treats his son like this? It must be because of Concubine Hui. It must be that Concubine Hui hates that I killed her niece, so she Put eye drops on my son in front of my father, so that my father would rather believe these nonsense than believe that my son was wrongly accused."

Xiao Yi straightened his back and rubbed his neck, almost roaring as he spoke. Tears gurgled down from his eyes, but they were silent.

The emperor became more and more angry as he listened, "You bastard, you have committed a heinous crime yourself, and you don't know how to repent, yet you try to pick on others!" He pointed at Xiao Yi's nose and cursed, his fingers trembling with anger.

Xiao Yi sneered, "I am innocent. I have never done anything. They all colluded to frame me. My father dares to say that after the incident at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, Concubine Hui did not say anything about my son in front of my father." What?"

"What happened today is clearly Xiao Yu and Gu Yuqing's collusion to frame my son. My son is incompetent and unable to fight back after being attacked by them. But if you think about it carefully, father, what Concubine Hui said to you, aren't they heart-breaking words?" If she hadn't said something in advance to foreshadow it, why would my father be so distrustful of his son?"

Xiao Yi determined that Concubine Hui must have said something in front of the emperor after the incident at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, and he took advantage of the emperor's suspicious nature to seize on this and continue to amplify it.

He thought he had grasped a life-saving straw on the edge of the cliff of despair, but he didn't know that the root of this straw had long been cut off by Xiao Yu.

When Xiao Yi finished speaking, the emperor trembled his lips which were so angry that he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Ever since the third young lady of Yongning Marquis Mansion was poisoned by you, Concubine Hui has been bedridden in bed, and I have not even touched her. You haven't even met each other, so why talk about killing your heart! The one who really wants to kill your heart is you!"

After saying that, the emperor raised his hand and waved, not wanting to see Xiao Yi again, "Pull it down!"

Xiao Yi was stunned. Concubine Hui was lingering on the sickbed?After she learned that she had poisoned Dong Xueruo, she didn't cry and ask for justice in front of her father?
How is it possible, Dong Xueruo is her niece!
When he lost his mind, his body was already set up by two servants, and he was dragged outward.

After Xiao Yi's angry voice was blocked by the door of the imperial study room, the emperor cast his eyes like red flames on Gongsun Mu, "Put him on death row, seal the mansion, and tomorrow at noon, the whole mansion will be interrogated and executed!"

A few words came out of his mouth simply and neatly.

Gongsun Muzheng was still thinking in his mind that Xiao Yi, the mastermind, could escape death and be released from prison. He was just an accomplice and even confessed everything. He should be given a lighter sentence...

Suddenly hearing the emperor's deep angry voice above his head, he couldn't help but trembled, fell to the ground, and looked at the emperor in astonishment.

Facing Gongsun Mu's shocked expression, the emperor smiled coldly, "What? You committed such a heinous crime, am I going to spare your life just because you confessed? Then all murderers will not have to pay with their lives as long as they confess their guilt afterwards. !”

Gongsun Mu was in disbelief. At the critical moment of life and death, he could not care about the superiority of the emperor and his ministers, so he couldn't help but ask, "What about the Third Highness? He is the mastermind. He not only instigated the envoys and Wang Daosheng to harm Gu Zhen, but also collaborated with the enemy and criticized the crime. The crime of the minister is much more serious, why did he just release the heavenly prison! But the minister wants to copy and kill the whole family!"

When Gu Yuqing heard this, he couldn't help but look towards the emperor.

In fact, everyone has a rough explanation for this kind of question, but when it was asked so clearly, she was curious about how the emperor would answer this question!

After Gongsun Mu finished speaking, the emperor sat down on his knees, propped his elbows on the armrests, leaned half of his body on it, and leaned forward slightly. A cold, ice-like luster flashed through his eyes, and a complex smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Because his father is me, and your father is not the emperor!"
