first princess

Chapter 260: Wisdom Fighting the Demon Concubine (4)
"Ah—don't kill me! I didn't have an affair! Concubine Li killed me! She killed the emperor! She killed the queen mother! The little princess is under house arrest! Threatening the queen! She is a bad person, don't be fooled by her!" Shui Chenxiang, who is in a desperate situation, can no longer keep a calm head. She says everything she should say and should not say. Colluding with Concubine Li to drug the Queen Mother is far less serious than adultery in her opinion. Bearing one crime, she would rather be the former, "Concubine Li has a reason to frame me, she...she wants to kill the donkey, and keep the secret forever, because I..." Yu Guang cast a glance at Bingbing, with an idea, choked up Said, "Because she... she forced me to drug the queen mother, I... I did it, she... she is killing people to silence her now..."

Concubine Li blushed and turned pale, her nails dug into her palm, "Shui Chenxiang! What nonsense are you talking about? When did this palace force you to drug the Queen Mother?"

"Stop pretending, and don't threaten me with the lives of the Twelve Princes. I am going to die anyway. It is not in vain to expose your crimes when I am dying. It is not in vain for me to follow the Supreme Emperor! After I die, I hope the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Treat the Twelve Princes kindly!" Shui Chenxiang cried and slammed into the desk, her forehead hit the edge of the table, blood gushed out, and after a while, her figure flickered and she fell into a pool of blood.

There were bursts of sobs in the women's seat.Concubine Li was so angry that she was not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs!The pig's brain is watery Chenxiang, and she lost her position after being forced a few times. No wonder she failed to frame Shui Linglong twice, but was made miserable by Shui Linglong. The most annoying thing is that she was made into such a virtue by Shui Linglong , to even listen to Shui Linglong's instigation, idiot!Even if you want to kill the donkey, you should kill it quietly. Why leave such a big space for her to bite you back?
Shui Linglong looked at Concubine Li with a smile that was not a smile. From the very beginning, she never wanted to frame Concubine Li to become a demon star through rituals.The demon star's infamy, being installed by Yang Daxian today, may be resolved by some eminent monk tomorrow.Only by revealing Concubine Li's crimes can she be truly brought down.With the little princess in the hands of Concubine Li, it is impossible for Bingbing to expose Concubine Li's crimes, so she pinned her hopes on Shui Chenxiang, who is the most vulnerable person.

Concubine Li rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, she can now conclude that it was Shui Linglong who stole the clothes, she didn't know how to do it, "No! I didn't do that! Everything is Shui Linglong's nonsense That day, she came to my palace and asked to take the Twelve Princes back, but I refused her. I said, the Twelve Princes were placed in the Empress Dowager's Palace by the Supreme Emperor, and I can't decide whether he will stay or not, I have to wait for the Queen Mother Woke up and asked her what the old man meant. Concubine Shui refused, and even satirized me for running amok in the harem but couldn't satisfy her even this small request, so she held a grudge and wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on me. This ceremony was proposed by her, She also recommended him, and in my opinion, adultery and table collisions are all her tricks! Don't be fooled by her!" Shui Chenxiang, wake me up now if you have the ability, but once you wake up , Your so-called "desperate testimony" is also invalid!
Shui Chenxiang heard Concubine Li's confuse words on the ground, she was so angry that she wanted to open her eyes, Shui Linglong swept her skirt, and stomped on it when no one was paying attention, she really passed out.

Seeing that Shui Chenxiang didn't respond, Concubine Li couldn't help but feel disappointed, but soon said calmly again: "Everyone doesn't believe me, don't you believe the empress?" She looked at Bingbing and asked: "Empress, please explain to everyone , Did I force the little princess to be with me in the first place?" When she asked this question, her sleeve flicked, and a dongzhu fell off.

Dongzhu Bingbing recognized this, it was a reward from Yunli.Concubine Li is telling her that after I die, Yun Li's antidote will never be gone, you can figure it out!Bingbing's teardrops began to roll in her eyes, and she really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, a high-pitched voice pierced the sky, "The Empress Dowager is here—"

The Queen Mother sat on a phoenix chariot carried by eight people, her complexion was pale, but her bearing remained undiminished. Beside her were the five-year-old Eleventh Prince and the two-year-old Twelfth Prince. The Seventh Prince was 12 years old and Guo Yan. walk aside.

Everyone was shocked at first, and then knelt down together, "See the empress dowager! The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

Concubine Li kept her kneeling posture, gnashing her teeth with hatred in her heart, only then did she realize that she had been tricked into turning the tiger away from the mountain.She fought fiercely here, but they rescued the hostages there!
In fact, Shui Linglong learned this trick from Shui Minyu. Shui Minyu asked Chang Feng and Chang An to pretend to be Taoist boys and sneak into the courtyard. In the name of affixing the talisman to the corresponding palace, first try to introduce the surrounding hidden guards one by one, and then eradicate them one by one. In this way, they can prevent them from threatening the lives of the hostages when the two sides clash head-on.

Guo Yan smiled at Shui Linglong as if playing a trick, and Shui Linglong also smiled, seeing him so capable in this life, suddenly felt proud.

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to signal everyone to flatten, everyone thanked them and stood up one by one.The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Li, she was always gentle, and she didn't see much anger at this time, "You are very courageous, you dare to collude with the concubine to murder Ai's family and the emperor, and even spread false imperial edicts to disrupt the court. Ai's family has lived most of their lives, which is rare Such a bold person, you really made the Ai family look up to you."

Her voice was as gentle as ever, but just as everyone could hear the shouting in their ears, Concubine Li's hairs stood on end one by one.

The Empress Dowager doesn't care about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. It is not up to her to reward and punish which of these people are loyal and treacherous officials, but the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's women, she can do whatever she wants, "Shui Chenxiang really mourns his family Tired of seeing it, I will be demoted to a commoner and expelled from the capital."

This is a disguised promise of Shui Chenxiang's freedom. In the future, the Twelve Princes will move to the fief, and the two will have another chance to meet again. In 13 years, Shui Chenxiang will receive a long period of psychological abuse.This means!Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, luckily it wasn't her mother-in-law.

The Empress Dowager's gentle eyes swept over the faces of Concubine Yan and Bingbing, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yan has meritorious service in escorting her. She was promoted to be a noble concubine and assists the empress in managing the six palaces."

Concubine Yan bowed calmly, "Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The Empress Dowager wiped the sweat that was still dripping from her forehead with a handkerchief, and said: "The Empress is pregnant again, and I am very happy. I will give you a pair of Ruyi jade and a hundred taels of gold."

Without mentioning her merits and demerits, Bingbing's heart trembled slightly, and she saluted, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager looked at Shui Chenxiang who had been stunned by a foot, and then at Shui Linglong, she was very sorry, she was ruthless, scheming enough, and able to maintain her heart in the secular world, such a woman is the most suitable for an emperor's wife .After sighing, the Empress Dowager finally looked at Concubine Li, her smile was suppressed, but her voice was as gentle as usual, "The crime is serious, beheaded for public display."

Concubine Li's face suddenly changed, "Mother... Empress Dowager! You can't kill me! Only I know where the emperor's antidote is hidden! If you kill me, the emperor will die!" Don't all mothers put their children first? , what about the Queen Mother?Can you escape your mother's fate?
Just when Concubine Li was proud of herself, the Empress Dowager laughed coldly, "Then let him die."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.Did they hear correctly?The queen mother actually disregarded the emperor's life?Fortunately, this is his own mother, if not, they must think that the Queen Mother is plotting to rebel!
The Empress Dowager continued: "He has a kind heart and a soft hand, and he doesn't know people well. He deserves his death." After finishing speaking, several young princes shivered unanimously.The queen mother glanced at them, and said seriously: "You guys have all been clearly remembered by the Ai family. If you are deceived by others like your elder brother and get into trouble, don't expect the Ai family to save you!"

The Seventh and Eleventh Princes nodded immediately, and the Twelfth Prince looked at his brothers in a daze, and Eleven pressed his head down, forcing him to nod his head too.The Queen Mother calmly removed Eleven's little hand that was holding Twelve's neck, and gently rubbed the red marks on Twelve's delicate skin. Seeing Twelve who was about to cry, she laughed happily again. The Queen Mother continued to lecture, "The head can be broken, the blood can be kept, and the dignity can't be lost. Even if you die, don't become a pawn for others to threaten the royal family and the Great Zhou. This is the teaching that you as members of the royal family must keep in mind, understand?"

Seventh Prince and Eleven replied: "Understood!"

Twelve still didn't respond.Eleven patted Twelve on the forehead, and Twelve foolishly said slowly, "Understood."

On the surface, these words are teaching the princes, but in fact they are admonishing Bingbing.Bingbing lowered her head, very aggrieved.

Concubine Li has no time to listen to the queen mother controlling her children and daughter-in-law. Seeing that the queen mother really doesn't care about Yun Li's life and death, she panicked when she thought she was sure of winning, but her long-term training taught her that the more critical the moment, the more important it is to keep calm Thinking, she took a deep breath, blinked her eyes, and said, "The empress dowager! Don't you really care about the emperor's life? How is it different from me who poisoned the emperor? No way, you just want to kill the emperor." , and then establish yourself as the emperor?"

The queen mother sneered, "Do you want the Ai family to stand up as the emperor and do your shit? Now the Ai family tells you that not only you are going to die, but your whole family will die, and they will all die for the emperor!"

In fact, the queen mother is not really not concerned about her son, but is gradually changing the threat situation of both sides. Every time Concubine Li threatens, the queen mother will increase the punishment. The courage to collide with it, that's why she was pinched to death by Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was frightened. She recalled Xun Feng's evaluation of the Queen Mother—this woman is usually a Bodhisattva, but when she is ruthless, she is Yama.Three years ago, the palace broke out a large-scale crackdown on reselling the collections in the palace. It never killed any empress dowager who had pregnant concubines or emperor's heirs. Hundreds of people were beheaded abruptly, and those who were serious were even sentenced to death. And called Hegong to visit.She was the most virtuous and magnanimous queen in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was also the most murderous queen.

Concubine Li realized that she had kicked the board, but she didn't forget the Queen Mother's sentence "I will pay for the emperor's life", which means that if the emperor is not dead, the family members don't have to pay for him.

Concubine Li knelt down and obediently untied her purse, "This is the antidote! Please let the empress dowager release my family!"

The queen mother snorted, and said: "If the antidote is fake, the whole family will be implicated!" This means that Concubine Li will still be beheaded, and the Li family will still be beheaded.

Concubine Li's face suddenly changed, "Queen! Queen, you can't do this! I have handed over the antidote, you..."

The queen mother waved her hand, and Eunuch Zhang strode forward, took out his handkerchief and wanted to gag her, but just as he took out his hand, he felt that it was a waste, so he stepped on his shoes, took off his clothes and stuffed them into her mouth, "The queen mother has orders , into the cold palace, choose a day to behead for public display!"

"Uh...uh..." Concubine Li cried out in despair, but she still couldn't get rid of the bad luck of being dragged into the cold palace. She glanced at the direction of the bedroom with tears in her eyes, and it seemed as if a baby was crying in her ears...
