Concubine Biography

Chapter 41

The emperor looked at the group of princes and relatives who were kneeling in front of him, trembling with anger, "Bastards! A bunch of bastards! Duan Wangye! What do you do with the capital guards in charge! At the feet of the emperor, my son and grandson are here!" I was killed right under my nose! Tell me! Who did it! The second child, is it you! The fifth child! You are always reticent, is it you! Or your seventh child? Tell me! Who did it? What an unfilial and disrespectful thing!"

Li Jiarong knelt silently on the cold floor tiles, listening to King Cheng crying beside him, unable to control himself.

"Father! Xiao Liu died miserably! There are blood holes all over his body... I dare not look at it! Father, you must make the decision for Xiao Liu! Father..." Cheng Wang cried with tears and snot, and kept calling his father.

The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously, slowly got down from the dragon chair, walked up to King Cheng step by step, knelt down and pinched his chin, looked at King Cheng's face mottled with tears, "boss, although your mother and concubine are not worthy Heart, but you are still my beloved eldest son, I know you have always loved my sixth child, who would be the murderer?"

King Cheng looked at King An viciously, pointed at King An and said eagerly, "It's him! The second child has been at odds with the son, and the second day the son had a quarrel with the second son in the Jinluan Palace. He must be taking revenge on the son." This is why I killed Lao Liu!"

King An trembled all over, and started to cry, "Brother, you wronged your younger brother, but I didn't, father! How could I do such a thing, the sixth child is my younger brother..."

If the play is too much, people will be suspicious, Li Jiarong sighed slightly in his heart, Wang An has gone too far.

Sure enough, the emperor looked at his four sons coldly, with chills all over his face, "You are all my sons. I love you more than anyone else, but you are brothers killing each other, and you let me..."

The emperor choked with sobs, and turbid tears slowly rolled down his eyes, "I am old, and your hearts are growing too! Today you will kill brothers, and tomorrow you will kill your father and seize the throne!"

The emperor's tone suddenly rose, and Li Jiarong followed the crowd and lay down on the ground, shouting, "I dare not!"

"Don't dare? Why don't you dare? Do you think that my old eyes are dizzy! Don't think that you can fly when your wings are hard, I can deal with you at any time!" The emperor's face flushed with anger, and he collapsed on the dragon chair .

"Your Majesty!" Uncle Duanhuang kowtowed, "My Majesty, last night the Jingcheng Guard arrested a suspect in the case of King Xing's murder, but..." Uncle Duanhuang looked distressed.

The emperor sat up slightly, looked at Uncle Duan and shouted coldly, "Say! But what?"

"But when Yexing Palace was completely destroyed..." Uncle Duanhuang didn't continue.

Li Jiarong quickly kowtowed, "I would like to report to my father, the person imprisoned by the Beijing Guard is Mr. Peiyuan Qimeng, the eldest son of my minister. He is a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken. I will never believe that this person would do such a cruel act."

The emperor glanced at the kneeling people, and said in a cold voice with no expression on his face, "The capital guards continue to investigate, you all go down, I'm tired."

Everyone resigned and filed out.

Walking out of the hall, Cheng Wang glared at An Wang bitterly, "You wait for me! I will definitely avenge Lao Liu!"

King An's mouth twitched, "The younger brother is here, the eldest brother can come to find the younger brother at any time, as long as the eldest brother... has, proof, evidence!"

"You won't be proud for long!" Cheng Wang spat hard, flung his sleeves and left.

King An laughed, turned and left, Li Jiarong buried his head and left silently, leaving King Min and Uncle Duanhuang standing aside, King Min whispered, "Uncle Huang, why did Fifth Brother ask you to arrest his retainers?"

Uncle Duanhuang touched the beard on his chin, looked at Li Jiarong's back and sighed deeply, "He is the real smart man."

King Min was surprised, "What does Uncle Huang say?"

Uncle Duanhuang glanced at King Min, and pointed to the direction where King Cheng was leaving, "King Cheng's ears are soft, the city is not deep, and he is very happy, all thanks to Concubine Shu to guide him from behind." Then he said in the direction of King An, "An The king is ruthless and cruel to others and himself, such a master is unpopular."

"As for King Rong... His Majesty once said that King Rong has a kind heart, but he is not good at words. He is more than loyal, but not quick-witted. A person with a kind heart and not enough quick-wittedness will push his subordinates to take the place of dead ghosts?"

Uncle Duanhuang sneered, "The emperor is suspicious, but King Rong's move made him escape from the case of King Xing. He let this king arrest his people before King An wiped out King Xing's lineage. This is life." Ah! Just wait and see, his subordinates will only suffer some flesh and blood, just pretending, and they will be released soon."

"Since his method is feasible, why didn't Uncle Huang mention me earlier? In this way, I can also be picked out of this quagmire, and I won't be too trembling." King Min said displeased.

Uncle Duan looked him up and down, and said with a sneer, "You? If you dare to do this, the emperor will immediately take your title and confine you to death!"

"Why?!" King Min's eyes widened.

idiot!Uncle Duanhuang scolded in his heart, but he had to point it out patiently, "You think the emperor doesn't know it was you who did it? Isn't he unwilling to make it public by asking me to investigate? Could it be that he wants to kill all of you for a son? Killed? King Rong dared to do this because of his usual dull image. The emperor would only believe that others framed him, so how could he believe that he plotted against others. Your foundation is not stable, this method is definitely not feasible !"

King Min hummed twice and asked, "Then according to Uncle Huang, what should I do now?"

Uncle Duanhuang flicked the invisible dust on his sleeves, "Stop with stillness!"

On this side, Fu'er looked at Cao Xiaoman, who was kneeling in front of her and crying into tears, full of embarrassment.

"Sister, get up quickly, what are you doing like this?" Fu'er went to help, but Cao Xiaoman just couldn't get up. In desperation, Fu'er also knelt on the ground.

Cao Xiaoman held Fu'er's sleeve tightly, whimpered and begged, "Good girl! I beg you, please help my sister to plead with the prince, and you must save my husband. Our child is so young. He's less than two months old, if something happens to Mr. Xianggong... how will my child and I live in the future..."

"Sister, get up and talk first, let's get up first..." Fu'er was sweating anxiously, but couldn't move Cao Xiaoman, Hong Ying frowned when she brought the tea, and hurriedly put the tea down to persuade her.

"Mrs. Yao, let's get up and talk. Our wife has to kneel when you kneel. It's cold on the ground. Be careful not to hurt yourself, madam." Hongying helped Cao Xiaoman, but her words moved her Even after Cao Xiaoman, she was still too strong, and even helped Cao Xiaoman up from the ground.

Fu'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sitting with Cao Xiaoman's help, motioned for Hongying to get the handkerchief, and comforted herself softly, "Sister, I've heard about Mr. Yao, and I've let Xiaoshanzi pay attention to it. , I will go to him as soon as I get back to the mansion. Don't worry, Mr. Yao will be fine. Why did you let Mr. Yao have an accident? You have to take care of yourself now, the child is still so young, you panicked and treated the child Not good."

Cao Xiaoman covered his mouth and cried bitterly, "I don't know this truth. It's just my sister... hey," Cao Xiaoman cried and shook his head, "Yesterday he came back quite early, and we were teasing the children. Someone broke in suddenly, and took him away without saying a word. I...you...how can you make me feel at ease..."

Fu'er nodded understandingly, and saw that Hong Ying brought a warm handkerchief, took the handkerchief and handed it to Cao Xiaoman, "My Lord was also summoned into the palace by the emperor yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet, as soon as I heard The news is extremely urgent, but I can't find anyone to ask about the situation..."

"I went to look for Han Ze first last night, but I couldn't find him after searching everywhere. The child seemed to be frightened last night and cried all night. I..." Cao Xiaoman broke down in tears, "This morning I I ordered the nanny to take care of the baby and came to the palace to find the concubine, but she said she was sick, and I was so panicked that I lost my mind and really didn’t know what to do..."

Fu'er couldn't bear to look at Cao Xiaoman, who was haggard and out of shape in just one night, and turned her head to urge Hongying, "Go and see if Xiaoshanzi is back, why hasn't Master come back?"

Hong Ying nodded, turned around and went out. After waiting for more than an hour, Xiao Shanzi finally came back out of breath, "Ma'am, my master is back home, and I'm going to the study to discuss matters with you gentlemen, and I'll ask you to bring a message to Mrs. Yao." , Mrs. Yao, please don't worry, Mr. Yao didn't suffer, but he can't come back for the time being."

Fu'er hurriedly asked, "Did you say anything else? Did you say when Mr. Yao will be released? Don't miss it."

Xiao Shanzi shook his head again and again, "The servant has never missed the point. If you don't believe me, Madam can ask Sister Hongying."

Fu'er looked at Hong Ying, who nodded and acknowledged Xiao Shanzi's words.

Then Fu'er said to Cao Xiaoman, "Sister, since the master said so, there must be an arrangement. My sister will go back and take good care of the child first, and take good care of herself. As soon as I have news, I will tell you immediately. sister."

Cao Xiaoman knew that there would be no result if he waited any longer, and he missed the children at home, so he nodded in disappointment and went home sadly.

Fu'er was anxious, but there was nothing she could do.After that, Li Jiarong came and went in a hurry for many days, and when he returned home, he called all the gentlemen to discuss matters. Everyone knew that the Xingwang case was a big matter, and no one dared to touch it.

After more than a month, the emperor issued a decree, saying that King Xing was murdered by assassins bribed by political enemies in the court and China, and his children and all his wives and concubines were also murdered by servants bribed by political enemies with poison.About a dozen officials, headed by the middle and right ministers of the court, were convicted and beheaded. Among them, there were men and horses from various princes, and King An was the most.The emperor took this opportunity to frighten the court, and at the same time, he also expressed his unwillingness to delve into the situation. Everyone understood, and Uncle Duan also released Yao Junsheng after the matter subsided.

The matter of King Xing finally came to an end. Before everyone had time to take a breath, another news came from the palace. The Queen Mother fainted immediately when she heard about King Xing. Sitting sick.
