Chapter 521 Concubine Gu's downfall (3)
The palace is too dark, and plots are everywhere. He looked at Xun Zhen distressedly. She had spent ten years here. When he thought of this, his heartache overflowed endlessly. If possible, he really wanted to In this way, he took her hand and left, escaping from this purgatory on earth.

Xun Zhen didn't see her elder brother's self-blaming and sad eyes. Can't find the culprit behind the scenes, what kind of lady is this?How could he harbor such evil intentions?
Yu Wenhong's face was full of anger, and he almost crushed the tea bowl in his hand, but it was Gu Qingman?I really underestimated her. If I had known that she was so capable of causing trouble, yet so restless, with such a vicious heart, then he would never have given her the favor of a first-rank concubine. After all, this woman had suffered inequality in the clan's mansion. That's why he compensated her so that the rest of her life would not be too bleak.

Gu Shangshu glanced at his carefully cultivated daughter. If it collapsed like this, he would not be reconciled, so he stood up abruptly, "Your Majesty, what Concubine Xin said is not unreasonable. There are many people playing tricks in the harem, so it is not ruled out that someone secretly Frame the concubine Xin." He glanced sideways at Xun Zhen, his eyes full of accusations.

Yu Wenhong squinted at Gu Shangshu, and he naturally saw Xun Zhen's eyes when he looked at him, and sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, "Oh? Gu Shangshu, so many people's testimonies are all slandering Gu Qingman, I can't see it Well, you should know that I didn't use severe punishment at this time, and their confession is still credible. Gu Qingman's spreading rumors and harming the fate of the country, in my opinion, is a heinous crime."

Gu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, Yu Wenhong actually meant that, his old face twitched, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xin..."

"Your Majesty, my concubine was wronged. All of this was not done by my concubine. Someone deliberately planted a frame to harm her. Your majesty..." Gu Qingman no longer became arrogant this time, and said with snot and tears.

Xun Zhen saw her crying so disregarding her image, how could she be as cold and indifferent as when they first met?Time really showed no mercy, "Concubine Xin, these are all confidantes in your palace, and that dress from the Hundred Flowers Festival is the best proof that you lied at this time."

"No, this dress is fake..." Gu Qingman stared at Xun Zhen fiercely.

Yu Wenhong rested his hands on the armrest and glanced at the pile of clothes, "It's not easy to fake so many clothes for a while." Seeing that the other concubines lowered their heads, they didn't dare to breathe, " Tell me, are these true? If there are lies, I will never forgive them lightly."

Concubine Ping and other concubines all looked at each other, although the emperor's voice was not loud, but he had the power over their life and death, their bodies trembled because of this, it's human nature to tend to avoid evil.

Concubine Ping was the first one who couldn't bear the pressure, "The emperor spared his life. It is indeed Concubine Gu Xin who encouraged the concubines to do such a rebellious thing. The concubine's ears were soft to listen to the slander for a while, so I ask the emperor to show mercy..."

"You! You're talking nonsense." Gu Qingman shook her fingers angrily and looked at Concubine Ping. She knew that she would not cooperate with such a woman, and she couldn't even bear the pressure.

"Am I talking nonsense? Concubine Gu Xin, you naturally know whether you said that you were going to cause trouble for Director Xun..." Concubine Ping then told all the things that were discussed that day.

Gu Qingman's face was blue and white, which made everyone even more suspicious. It was extremely abhorrent for this woman to do such a thing that might damage the fate of the country.

When the other concubines saw that Concubine Ping was coming out, they were afraid of falling behind, and they also felt guilty like Gu Qingman, so you said what you said to each other, no, it was just pointing out Gu Qingman's scandal Come.

Xun Zhen sighed and looked at Gu Qingman, who was still struggling for life. Her strategy was not wrong, but the person who was looking for cooperation did not have the same interests as her, but each had different ideas. Naturally, it was impossible to get the final result. Success, it's obvious.And the reason why she messed up Empress Dowager Liu's empress dowager ceremony last time was because she had Yu Wenhong's support behind her, so everyone was united, otherwise the result would not be better than Gu Qingman.

When Gu Shangshu heard this, his face instantly turned pale. How could he find such a group of people to cooperate if he wanted to play tricks? It was extremely stupid.The light in his eyes flickered again and again, how could this useless thing that would harm the family be regarded as hope in the first place?He regretted saying a few words for his daughter.

Especially the clansmen and wives were a little bit ashamed, they were manipulated by a harem woman like this, not to mention being treated as pawns, and could become cannon fodder at any time, they all looked at Gu Qingman and Gu Shangshu angrily, all blame this old man There is no way to teach a daughter, which leads to such a catastrophe.

"Gu Shangshu heard what your daughter said this time? Do you still think I'm biased?" Yu Wenhong said coldly.

"Your Majesty, this kind of woman should not be spared lightly. She has caused a mess in the harem and almost affected the fate of the country. She should be punished." Xun Ying stood up and said.

"My minister seconded the proposal." Gao Wenxuan also stood up and said.

Then more and more courtiers stood up and seconded the proposal, but some of them stood on the sidelines, and no one interceded for Gu Qingman.

When Gu Shangshu saw the emperor's cold and ugly expression, and the angry eyes of Yuwen's royal family members, his scalp became numb. He couldn't help but look at this unworthy rebellious girl, gave up on this daughter who had been raised for many years, knelt down and said: "It's all ministers who are ineffective in teaching women, which almost affects the fate of the country, and they have offended Director Xun a lot. The ministers are willing to be punished."

Yu Wenhong glanced at Gu Shangshu, and said loudly: "I can't tolerate the rumors created by Gu Qingman. I will be sent to the prison today, and I will give you three feet of white silk tomorrow. As for Gu Shangshu, there is no way to teach a daughter, but I just read it." With the intention of repenting, I will punish you lightly, remove my position as minister, and relegate you to Shunzhou as a general judge."

When he was demoted, Gu Shangshu didn't know whether he should be happy or cry, but he still kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En."

Seeing Gu Qingman sitting slumped on the ground, Xun Ying snorted coldly. This woman caused her sister to be in a state of panic all day long. Now it's better to just give her a three-foot white silk. According to his idea, it's best. It took a few more years of torture to let her die, so that she could breathe a sigh of relief.
