Marriage Princess: The Alluring Concubine of the Evil Emperor

Chapter 23 The Truth Comes Out
Concubine Qi retreated to the left and right, leaving Cang Yue alone in the hall.

She got up, and the long skirt swept across the white marble floor, reflecting her graceful posture.

She walked up to Yan Xiaotian and snorted, "Don't think that I don't know that Concubine Shang Gui ordered you to do all of this, but I will not let you come out for her, but I don't allow you to wrong Su Liangyuan casually." As for what you say before the emperor, you can figure it out for yourself. If you say a wrong word, the matter between you and Li Meiren will be offered to the emperor immediately. Stealing the emperor's concubine is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family. Measure it yourself .”

Yan Xiaotian's face was pale, and he fell down on the ground for a long time, before he raised his head and said sadly: "The guilty minister knows."

"Take him down, wait for the emperor to come back in the morning, and send him to the imperial study!" Qi Guifei said.

Yan Xiaotian was taken into custody, Cang Yue asked puzzledly: "Madam, even if he was asked to confess Shang Guifei, he would definitely do so, why did he let him cover Shang Guifei?"

Concubine Qi Gui's face was cold, "Because, no matter what mistakes Shang Guifei has made, the emperor will first tolerate her. Her elder brother has already rushed to the front line. If any bad news spreads, it may affect his fighting spirit. The country can't afford to lose."

Only then did Cang Yue understand, "In other words, even if Yan Xiaotian confesses to Shang Gui, the emperor will suppress it, and even blame the empress for bringing Shang Gui in?
"Well, there is another consideration. Xiao Qiao said that day that Concubine Shang Gui didn't come for several days after her menstrual event, and she kept vomiting and nausea. I'm afraid she was really pregnant. For the sake of a little forgiveness, I might as well not say anything, hold her evidence in hand, and deal with her step by step. When the time comes to make it public, the matter of framing Su Liangyuan will become the last straw that crushes her. "

Cang Yue smiled and said, "Your Majesty is more thoughtful."

She paused, and then said: "It's just that the empress has been praising Princess Yili and Su Liangyuan, are you afraid that it will become a disaster?"

Concubine Qi waved her hand, "It's okay, what is Su Liangyuan's background? It's up to me to decide where she can go. As for Yili, who is about to marry Beimo, what will happen?"

Cang Yue thoughtfully said: "Princess Yili seems to have changed a lot since she committed suicide."

"Having died once, how could it not have changed? If you say it has changed, it would be better to say you have grown up." Concubine Qi said without the slightest sympathy.

After the emperor came down to court, he discussed matters with the ministers in the imperial study. After everything was over, Eunuch Xi entered and said softly: "Your Majesty, the three-day period has come. The imperial concubine escorted Yan Xiaotian over here."

The emperor rubbed his brows with a violent expression on his face, "Let the noble concubine execute Yan Xiaotian. As for Su Liangyuan, first find an excuse to break into the cold palace, and then commit suicide after a while and then announce her sudden death. Don't bother me."

The emperor obviously believed that Su Liangyuan stole people was a fact, and he hated her very much.

Eunuch Xi said softly: "The imperial concubine said there was something else going on in this matter, Su Liangyuan was wronged."

"What?" The emperor looked up, "Really?"

"Going back to Lord Long Live, that's what the imperial concubine said."

"Come in!" The emperor cheered up. Although he had no feelings for Su Liangyuan, few men were willing to wear a cuckold.

"Yes!" Eunuch Xi turned and went out.

Yan Xiaotian was escorted in, knelt on the hall, and kowtowed on the ground.

Concubine Qi also came in, and after seeing the ceremony, said: "Your Majesty, please listen to his confession."

After all, she looked at Yan Xiaotian sternly, and said angrily: "How did you confess to this palace, now tell it again in front of the emperor."

Yan Xiaotian's body trembled, he raised his head, but then lowered his head in shame again, "Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die!"

"Say!" The emperor's majestic voice sounded sullen.

Yan Xiaotian's mouth trembled, and he said with ashen face: "Back to the emperor, it was the criminal minister who framed Su Liangyuan. The criminal minister was responsible for the security of Suhe Palace. He had seen Liangyuan several times before. When he saw her...with a beautiful face, his heart moved. I thought that Liangyuan would be tempted by just a little seduction, because the guilty minister knew that the emperor hadn't flipped her brand for a long time. Who knew that she severely rejected the guilty minister time and time again, and threatened to tell The noble concubine, the guilty minister was afraid that she would really sue, so he took advantage of Su and everyone in the palace to go out, and when she was copying Buddhist scriptures in the side hall, she was fascinated by ecstasy smoke. I didn't dare to say anything more, unexpectedly, I was smashed by the people led by Xi Gonggong..."

His voice became lower and lower, but the emperor's anger suddenly swelled up.

"You are so courageous!" The emperor threw an inkstone over, just hit Yan Xiaotian's forehead, and immediately Yan Xiaotian's forehead was covered with blood.

Concubine Qi stepped forward and said: "The emperor calmed down. The concubine investigated later. On the day when the incident happened, Su Liangyuan was having her menstruation. How could she have an affair with him? Moreover, although Su Liangyuan was born as a court lady, the former empress taught her well and behaved decently." , would never do such an obscene thing, and the concubine also learned from the guards around Yan Xiaotian that someone saw Yan Xiaotian secretly taking Mixiang into the Suhe Palace that day, but he didn't know what he was going to do , After comparing the before and after, we know that this villain was attracted to Su Liangyuan's beauty, and after the incident, in order to mitigate the crime, he framed Liangyuan for having a relationship with him. This intention is really vicious and vicious, please the emperor decide."

The emperor's eyes were filled with rage, and he looked at Eunuch Xi, "How else can we decide? Such heinous people, just push them out and chop them up."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Xi paused for a moment, and said softly: "Long Live Lord, if the prisoner has been chopped off, what about his family?" According to the law of the palace, the forbidden army had an affair with the concubine, even his family, but now Yan Xiaotian is not having an affair with the concubine, but It was lust, so Eunuch Xi was not sure how to punish him for a while.

Hearing this, Yan Xiaotian suddenly raised his head and looked at Concubine Qi nervously.

Concubine Qi Gui stepped forward to play, "Your Majesty, my concubine has ordered someone to investigate his family. Yan Xiaotian used to sleep in flowers and willows outside the palace, squandering family wealth, and rarely returned his salary to the family. His wife, Yang, took care of him alone. The three children are struggling to survive, and they have to take care of their elderly parents. It would be too desolate for such a poor woman to suffer the crime of sitting together."

When the emperor heard that Yan Xiaotian was such a heinous person, he was even more furious. He couldn't help feeling pity for Yan Xiaotian's wife, Yang Shi, and said: "It was he who committed the crime, so there is no need to implicate his family."

Concubine Qi Gui said: "The emperor is merciful, and the world will return to his heart. The concubine has already ordered someone to give 100 taels of silver to Yang Shi, so that he can raise the three children well. Don't let the children go astray like his father. This matter has not yet been declared." With the emperor's consent, the concubine did it in private, and asked the emperor to forgive me."

The emperor's expression softened slightly, "The noble concubine is kind, how can I blame you? The Yang family is indeed pitiful, that's all!"

Concubine Qi, thank you!
Yan Xiaotian was detained, knowing that he was going to die, his whole body was paralyzed, saying that he was detained, but in fact he was dragged out by the forbidden army.
