Long live Emperor Wu!

Chapter 115

When Xia Baolin heard this, she screamed even louder. Her face was full of anxiety and she didn't know what to do. When she saw the imperial doctor coming in and checking her pulse, she cried:

"I want to see Your Majesty...I want to see Your Majesty! You guys are harming me together!"

When Concubine Wei heard this, she snorted coldly, looked at her and said:
"Think carefully. His Majesty is not as kind-hearted as me. Not to mention that you are pregnant. Even if the prince was born and raised for more than ten years, he will not be merciful when he kills him."

Xia Yu was shocked by Concubine Wei's calm tone. She looked unbelieving and even forgot to cry.

Concubine Wei raised her chin slightly and asked:

"You don't believe it?... Then you can give it a try. A few days ago, you were extremely favored. Unusually, I sent someone to investigate you and found that you are not your biological daughter."

Not only Xia Qi, but also Wu Rou felt his heart thump.

Then I heard Concubine Wei say calmly:

"Xia Chunqiu was originally a businessman who bought and sold kabuki. Two years ago, in order to avoid the shipbuilding labor of the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, he spent most of his family wealth on various activities. Finally, he adopted a girl of good origin as his daughter and sent him to the palace maidens. you.

He took advantage of the law that among the three generations of direct blood relatives, only one person would serve in labor at the same time, so he took advantage of the loophole and avoided his own period of labor.

This matter can be big or small. At the very least, it's just a businessman avoiding labor. At the most serious level, it's just you and your daughter working together to bully the emperor. "

Xia Yu was completely stunned. She knelt down softly on the soft couch and looked at Concubine Wei. Her eyes were shining with fear and her arms were obviously trembling.

Concubine Wei lowered her eyebrows and said casually:
"Later, you became pregnant and were ignored by His Majesty. I did good deeds out of virtue and pitied you and the unborn child, so I did not pursue the matter further, nor did I report it to Your Majesty.

What now? 'Wu Cairen used aphrodisiac incense to seduce the prince? '"

Concubine Wei raised her eyes leisurely, stared at Xia Yu, with a terrifying indifference, and said word by word:
"I wanted to let you go, but you turned out to be restless and made trouble in the harem?!"

Xia Yu suddenly softened, and got up shivering again, climbed down from the low couch, knelt down next to Wu Rou, cried and prayed to Concubine Wei:
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please spare me, I will never dare to do it again."

This time she cried sincerely, with tears streaming down her face. The cold sweat on her head and the tears were almost mixed together, which was very miserable.

Wu Rou was at the side, her bowed body gradually getting lower.

She's also terrified...

Since Concubine Wei knew Xia Yu's shortcomings, she kept turning a blind eye and did not have any attacks.

Does that mean that she might also know what happened between her and Xia Yu?

How much does she know?

The more Wu Rou thought about it, the more scared she felt... She had just vowed that she didn't know anything. If Xia Yu told the truth now, what would she do?
"Speaking of which, what's going on?" Concubine Wei asked.

Xia Yu rolled his eyes and said:
"Those incense were brought with me when I entered the palace. They are common spices used by folk to consummate marriages. I, Aye... my adoptive father was afraid that I might need them when I entered the palace, so he prepared them for me.

But it didn't work for me... it really didn't work.It was Wu Cai who was curious about my favor with His Majesty and thought I had some means to force me to give it to her.I gave this incense to her.

I was not willing to let her force me, and she was so soft-spoken, so I made up a lie and wanted the Crown Princess to deal with Wu Cairen..."

Wu Rou turned her head and glanced at Xia Yu in surprise, and couldn't help but think to herself:
This Xia Yu is also a person. He was so frightened by Concubine Wei, and he is still making up lies?

Come back full circle?
Also, if she tells the truth, wouldn't she be throwing herself into a trap?

"Wu Cairen...what do you have to say?" Concubine Wei suddenly asked.

Wu Rou turned around, bowed and saluted, bit her to death and refused to acknowledge it, saying:

"Arou never forced her, and she didn't know there was anything wrong with the incense. She gave it to me on her own initiative."

Concubine Wei said softly "Hmm" without commenting. Sitting on the low couch with a graceful posture, she asked casually:
"Then why did she want to harm you?" "Arou couldn't figure it out... At this moment, I kept thinking about this question in my mind. After thinking about it, I am an insignificant person, not enough to make Xia Baolin afraid, and I have never done anything like this. Something for her to hold a grudge against.

So I guess the only possibility is that she wants to deal with the prince, not me. "

Wu Rou looked calm and said softly:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a quarrel with His Majesty, which made His Majesty alienate her. So she held a grudge and lied to me that the incense was ordinary incense and gave it to me. In fact, she wanted to bring shame to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After hearing this, Xia Yun's heart jumped "dong dong".Because what Wu Rou said was all what she thought.

She didn't even expect the prince and Wu Rou to actually do anything.

In fact, he just wanted to add fuel to the rumors in the palace.

As long as this fire is ignited, it is enough to cause a huge blow to the reputation of a prince.

The emperor would also have a grudge against his favorite son.

Where does this fire come from?
Of course she is the jealous crown princess.

Who would have thought that the Crown Princess did not go as she wished, did not go to quarrel with the Crown Prince, nor did she find Wu Rou to quarrel with, but directly reported her words to Concubine Wei?

This is really "one careless move and everything is lost"!
The scary thing is that Wu Rou was so accurate, and she didn't seem to know it until now.

Then what is the reason why she has been acting with her all this time?
"I'm wronged, Madam, Wu Cairen is slandering me. She obviously forced me to do it. I couldn't help it..." Xia Yu cried desperately, as if relying on the volume of her voice to prove her grievance.

Concubine Wei raised her eyebrows and asked suddenly:

"Why didn't you tell me if she forced you to know? Do you think this harem is unattended?"

Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, hesitated, lowered her head tremblingly, and said:

"I...I forgot..."

"Ha!" Concubine Wei slapped the case, her voice suddenly became louder, and she scolded, "Xia Qi, from the beginning to the end, you have never told the truth no matter how many times I gave you a chance.

They all changed their words when they saw that they could no longer make it up.

Do you know how many times you have gone through your confession in this moment? "

As she spoke, she turned to the female officer waiting beside her and said coldly:

"When I went to draft my edict, Xia Baolin fabricated lies, stirred up dissension, and endangered the peace of the harem. During the interrogation, he also told lies and showed no repentance. Now Baolin has been demoted to an ordinary palace servant.

However, because she was pregnant with the emperor's heir, she was allowed to remain in the Chaohua Palace, exempt from all labor, and the expenses were based on the preservation of the emperor's heir until she gave birth to a child. "

"Yes." The female officer in charge of recording things next to her responded softly, turned around and went to do it.

When Xia Yu heard this, he felt like the sky was falling and shouted:

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... you can't do this. I know it was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Just spare me this time."

Concubine Wei seemed not to want to listen anymore. She raised her hand and waved, and the maid from Anren Palace stepped forward and dragged Xia Qi away.

She was five months pregnant and her body was a little heavy. When she was dragged away with her feet dragging on the ground, she looked like a fish with a bulging belly, looking embarrassed and pitiful.

Wu Rou felt cold in her heart.

At this time, Concubine Wei suddenly called her:
"Wu Cairen..."
