I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 216 The Empress Suicide
Although as early as when Leng Yuanxun and the queen mother came in, Bai Chongli knew that his ending would not be much better, but he never thought that the emperor would be so cruel that he would slaughter all the males in the Bai family. For my own life, I just prostrate on the ground and kowtow like garlic, "Your majesty, empress dowager, I was bewitched by the deposed prince, and I was confused for a moment, so I did such a stupid thing. I know that I have committed a heinous crime. Dare to ask the emperor for forgiveness, I only hope that the emperor can see the loyalty and goodness of the generations of the Bai family, and spare the children a way out!"

If the Bai family was wiped out by him, he would have no face to face his ancestors after his death!
"Now I'm thinking about my childishness. When you followed Murong Jing to force the palace to rebel, did you ever think about the legacy of your ancestors?" The emperor has never been a soft-hearted person, not to mention that Bai Chongli coveted his Huahua Jiangshan, so he didn't care about it. He said coldly and mercilessly: "I want to see, with your Bai clan as a lesson, who will dare to make trouble in the future!"

Bright red blood can most arouse the deepest fear in people's hearts, this point, the emperor knows better than anyone else.

Just as the distraught Bai Chongli was being dragged out by the guards like a salted fish, a slender figure staggered in quickly over the barriers. Already leaning to one side, her hair bun was even more messy, completely different from the dignified and elegant form of the past, but at this moment, she didn't have the mind to care about any appearance at all, she just knelt down in front of the emperor, and said in tears: "Your majesty, it's the concubine who didn't teach Jing'er well that made him do such a foolish thing. It's all the concubine's fault. If you want to kill or kill the concubine, you will accept it. I just ask you to spare Jing'er." Life, even if he has made thousands of mistakes, he is still your only legitimate son after all!"

As early as when Murong Jing had just made up his plan, he went to Fengyi Palace to inform the queen in person, so the whole night, the queen was excitedly waiting for the good news, but waited and waited, seeing Murong Jing enter the Palace of Qinzheng It has been an hour, and there is still no news. The empress felt uneasy, so she had to quietly send someone out to inquire, but what she didn't expect was the news that Leng Yuanxun and the empress dowager were going to Qinzheng Hall. The empress was completely panicked He didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so he took Aunt Ouyang and rushed to Qinzheng Hall.

Facts have proved that people's predictions of bad things are simply not very accurate. The queen came all the way outside the Hall of Qinzheng anxiously, and saw the prince who was seriously injured by Leng Yuanxun was dragged out. No matter what, she couldn't just sit and watch the other party being hacked to pieces, leaving his bones incomplete!
The emperor and the empress were originally a political marriage. Even if there was such a small amount of affection, after so many years of indifference and alienation, there was not much left. His face was full of tears, not only did he show no pity, but he said in disgust: "Queen, I am thinking of the love of getting married, and I have treated you very courteously over the years. Even if there are so many concubines later, no one can shake your heart." The latter, but not only do you not want to be grateful, but you also joined forces with Murong Jing, colluding with your mother's family to do such a thing of seeking power and usurping the throne, you are guilty!"

Murong Jing rebelled, and if it was said that the queen, the biological mother, didn't know about it, no ghost would believe it.

Although the queen knew that no matter how much she argued, she would not be able to dispel the emperor's doubts about her, but now that she had no way out, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and grit her teeth: "Your Majesty, you trust my concubine, and my concubine never participated. Among them, there is no instigating Jing'er to do such a rebellious thing, the emperor is the concubine's husband, and the concubine's heaven, the concubine would rather die by herself than see the emperor in any danger!"

The emperor had just woken up, and after experiencing such a series of changes, he was very irritable. Hearing what the queen said, he couldn't help but sneered, "The queen thinks that I am a three-year-old child, so she can deceive me at will?" He said something like this , the emperor turned his gaze to the Empress Dowager, and said respectfully: "Empress Mother, my son thinks that the Bai family has no way to teach his sons, and it is immoral. He really shouldn't be in the middle palace anymore. What do you think?"

Although it is the emperor's right to enshrine the empress, the canonization of the women's family has always been based on the empress dowager's kindness, and the emperor should seek the opinion of the empress dowager for love and reason.

The Empress Dowager would not have any objection to this, and was about to nod her head in agreement, but the Empress who was kneeling on the ground shook her head frantically and said: "Your Majesty, this concubine is innocent, you can't abolish this concubine, this concubine is your first wife, shall we Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for deposing a queen, you can't..."

In the end, even the queen herself didn't know what she was talking about. She only had one thought in her heart, that she couldn't be abandoned!

She has no youth, no husband's love, and even her only son is gone. All she has left is the position of 'Queen', so she can't give up no matter what. This phoenix robe, even if she dies, she will wear!

This kind of thought made the queen even more crazy. She wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, crawled to the side of the bed and grabbed the emperor's quilt tightly, crying, "Your majesty... Your majesty, for the sake of my concubine and your husband and wife for many years... Come on, don't abandon your concubine, okay, concubine..." At this point, the empress seemed to have made up her mind, and said word by word: "If someone has to sacrifice their lives to let the emperor rest the wrath of thunder , that concubine is willing to die, and I ask the emperor to spare Jing'er's life for the sake of Jing'er being your own son."

Now that Murong Li is leading the army, it is still unknown whether he can come back alive. The other two little princes are just infants, so as long as Murong Jing survives, he still has a chance to become the master of the world.

Of course, this is just the queen's wishful thinking.

"Really?" Although the emperor doesn't dote on the empress, and only sees him a few times a month, after all these years of being a husband and wife, he still has some understanding of the temperament of the person next to him. If you are not willing to let go, how can you give up your life!

Everyone doesn't want to die, and the queen is no exception, but she knows very well that with the emperor's vengeful nature, she will not let her live. I can keep my honor.

Hearing the emperor's words, the empress smiled sadly, "No matter what the concubine says now, the emperor will not believe it. If so, why bother to ask the concubine." Saying this, the empress stumbled to her feet, looking at the concubine in a daze. Looking around, when his eyes fell on Bai Chongli, he wept even more.

Rather than saying that Bai Chongli harmed the Bai family, it is better to say that it was her. If she hadn't underestimated the Queen Mother's ability, if she could firmly oppose Murong Jing's path of no return... However, there are no ifs in life, everyone has to Pay for what you did.

After a brief moment of stupefaction, the queen didn't look back at the emperor, but suddenly slammed into the pillar in the center of the hall, blood splattered everywhere!

The big golden nanmu pillar is extremely hard, if you push it hard like this, don't even think about it, your brains will burst and you will die.

Such a sudden bloody scene shocked Qu Lingxu and everyone in the hall. The timid eunuch couldn't help shouting. Of course, the emperor was the most shocked. He never thought that the queen really had The courage to die...

After the astonishment passed, Qu Lingxu quickly came back to his senses, walked slowly to the side of the bloody queen, stretched out his hand to test the pulse of her neck, and then lowered his hand and said: "Report to the emperor, empress dowager, the empress's skull is severely bruised, But I haven't lost my breath yet, if... the servant girl can try her best."

"No need." The emperor's indifferent expression lingered on the queen for a while, and then waved his hands lightly: "Since she wants to use this method to maintain her dignity, I will just let her do it, what does the queen mother think?"

In the palace, it is a serious crime for a concubine to kill herself, let alone the queen of the palace, it is impossible to hope to win the emperor's pity by dying.

The Empress Dowager did not expect the Empress to be so crazy. After thinking for a while, she nodded and said: "The left and right people are already dead, and there is no point in pursuing the crimes. We only announced that the Empress died of a serious illness."

Between women, it is always easier to reach a consensus in certain emotions. A dead person no longer poses any threat to them. Giving more mourning is also good for maintaining the dignity of the royal family.

……

The events of this night ended with the death of the crown prince Murong Jing, the death of the empress, and the execution of the whole family of the Bai family. Concubine Xu Gui, on the other hand, was given a three-foot white silk, ending her life of ambition but nothing in the end.

However, such a thunderous disposition was not enough to vent all the anger in the emperor's heart. He sent people to investigate Murong Jing's henchmen in the court. Anyone who had too much close relationship with the East Palace, those who were relegated, those who lost their lives, in short , no one can please, everyone is in danger for a while.

Qu Lingxu is the one who feels completely different from these people. Thanks to his efforts to rescue him several times, Qu Lingxu has been rewarded generously. The emperor even made an exception and gave him a princess mansion for her. Lived after moving out of the General's Mansion.

As for Leng Yuanxun, although he was also commended, the emperor was suspicious by nature, so he naturally didn't want to let more than half of the troops around the capital be controlled by him, so he took the opportunity to take back the control of the patrol battalion. Leng Yuanxun was not surprised that the emperor would In doing so, he didn't show any displeasure. He only said that he wanted to take care of the sick Huaiyang Hou at home, and happily handed over the military power.

The emperor is undoubtedly satisfied with Leng Yuanxun's sense of taste, and said with a smile: "Yuanxun, you have made a great contribution this time, and I will reward you well. If you have any requests, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it." Yes."
