Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 188 Inside the Death Row (3)
Right Prime Minister's face suddenly changed, he didn't dare to say more, but obediently complied.

He really didn't care about the three-year salary penalty. It would be too pitiful if the dignified Right Prime Minister's family relied on his little salary for a living.But after shutting the door and introspecting for a month, it made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

But when the emperor spoke, he didn't dare to disobey it, especially since his wicked daughter did such things, the emperor didn't punish the family for the crime of sitting together, it was already extraordinarily merciful.

Cheng Mengxuan was sent to death row and executed three days later.

As soon as this news spread to the people, it caused a big uproar. Everyone gathered in front of the imperial list, watching the "interrogation by the emperor" and the "jealous heart, buying murder to assassinate Princess Tian" and the "killing Miss Sun of Cai Guogong's mansion" Cai Qian, use a picture to kill her", as well as the "confession" and "be executed in the square in front of the South Gate in three days".

"I really can't believe that Miss Cheng is such a vicious person, thanks to the fact that I admired her so much before." Someone stood in front of the imperial list and said angrily.

"Let me just say that Cai Guogong is not someone who wrongs good people for no reason. Miss Cheng pretended to be innocent when she was questioned by the Duke of the Right in front of the gate of the Right Prime Minister's residence, intending to win the sympathy of those around her. She is truly shameless! "

"Over the years, hasn't she been pretending to deceive us?"

"That's right! I think she is very shameless. The eldest lady of the right prime minister's mansion is a lady, and there is nothing wrong with admiring the third highness, but she is jealous of Princess Tian because of this. It is too shameless to buy murder. , what is she?"

"Hey, according to what you said, isn't Princess Tian also shameless? Don't forget why the emperor ordered the marriage." There are Cheng Mengxuan's loyal supporters who are still determined to save Cheng Da. The young lady's reputation plummeted overnight.

Someone next to him sneered and said, "How can it be the same? Princess Tian was killed by someone at that time, and she did such things after being poisoned with obscene drugs. Let me tell you, she happened to meet her when she went out. When you arrive at the Third Highness, it is simply a marriage made by God."

"That's right! Even though she was killed by someone, Princess Tian didn't kill the person who killed her, she just punished her slightly and let the person live. Compared with this pretentious and dignified Miss Cheng, she is really kind. I don't know how many times."

"Isn't it because of a strange birthmark on her face that you dislike her so much and think that her heart must be as hideous as her face? It's really superficial!"

"Yes, really superficial!"

"Our ghost princess is much better than this extremely beautiful Miss Cheng, otherwise, why would the Third Highness not even take a look at Miss Cheng, but decided that she must marry such an ugly girl? Can't?"

"exactly!"

The crowd was arguing endlessly, unknowingly, the topic deviated from the original one hundred and eight thousand miles away. I don't know when it started. Since the day he returned to Beijing, Duanmu Tian, ​​who has been criticized by countless people, has been criticized by countless people. In the eyes of the people in the capital, the image has changed a lot.

Just like Cheng Mengxuan shouting and beating everyone overnight, the subversion of rumors is always so capricious.

After the right minister came back, the right minister's mansion closed the door tightly, and it will not be opened within a month.

In the palace, after the imperial court was over, the emperor did not go to the Imperial Study Room to review the memorials as usual, but went to the harem and came to the Xuande Palace.

"Greetings to the emperor!" In Xuande Palace, Concubine De led all the maids and eunuchs to welcome him. Facing the emperor who came suddenly, Concubine De did not have the slightest joy and joy as usual. Instead, she was worried and slightly uneasy.

Having just dealt with the dispute between Cai Guogong and the right minister's mansion, and sent Cheng Mengxuan to death, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to come to her to express his feelings.

She couldn't help being a little nervous, but her face was very calm and calm. Rourou looked at Emperor Jun with an expression that was unprecedentedly gentle. This time, the Concubine De concubine was suddenly very similar to Cheng Mengxuan, the outline of her face Similar, gentle demeanor is also similar.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here so early today?" She served the tea in front of him with an extremely gentle and coquettish expression.

Emperor Jun didn't reach out to pick up the tea she handed, but stared straight at her and said, "Cheng Mengxuan was thrown into death row by me."

Concubine De's face froze slightly, then she gently put the teacup in her hand in front of the emperor, and said softly: "I have heard about it, I didn't expect that child Xuan'er to do such an excessive thing, She deserves such a punishment."

"Do you really think so?"

"Your majesty?" She looked up at him puzzled, and said, "Although I have always loved that child, knowing that she was punished like this, I couldn't help but be heartbroken, but I know that the emperor's behavior is already an extra favor. The concubine is grateful."

Emperor Jun's eyes were very calm, so calm that no one could guess his thoughts.

He still looked at Concubine De calmly, did not show any emotional fluctuations in her performance and words, but slowly stretched out his hand, and gently swept the cup of tea in front of him to the ground.

"boom!"

The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp sound of impact and shattering, and the hot tea splashed out, forming a strange trace on the ground, and a few drops splashed out and landed on Concubine De's body.

But she couldn't wipe it off, so she knelt down with a "plop", looked at him with a terrified and aggrieved face, and said, "I don't know what my concubine did wrong and offended the emperor, please punish him!"

"Do you really want me to punish you?" Emperor Jun sat on the chair, still looked at her so calmly without any disturbance, and asked in a gentle tone.

Such a question made Concubine De's face stiff again, and she looked up at him sadly and helplessly.

Emperor Jun's eyes turned cold a little bit, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and said with a sneer: "Cheng Peilan, you really don't know anything when you are a me? I have been ignoring you because I think you have served me for many years anyway. It's all about doing your best, and you just don't bother to care about these things. If you don't know what to do, or even treat me as a stupid person and let you deceive me, I don't mind letting you live in a clean place .”

Change to a clean place?In this imperial palace, nothing is more pure than the cold palace.

Concubine De's face turned pale again, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she cried: "I dare not have the slightest dissent towards the emperor, but I am also a mother after all, and I always feel that my child She is the best in the world. Although Princess Tian is honorable and unspeakably noble, but she lacks in appearance, my concubine... I really can't like her, and I feel a little helpless when I think that the third prince wants to marry her as his concubine. Accept it, and then do such a thing in a moment of confusion, please learn from the emperor!"
