The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 457 The Emperor's Secret
In the Tianlao, Wei Shi was already undergoing his second punishment.
But he still didn't admit anything.
Those who can be sent to the Heavenly Prison have committed capital crimes that require the confiscation of property and the extermination of their entire family, and their bones are much tougher than those of ordinary people.
The executioners were not surprised, but it triggered the bloodthirsty cruelty in their bones.
The wailing sounds were heard, and the secret guards standing by quietly left.
In the imperial study, the secret guard knelt in the middle, and all the information he had gathered over the past few days was placed in front of the emperor's desk.
At this moment, the emperor was frowning.
The anger in his eyes was almost about to overflow.
That lowly servant had actually been coveting his concubine!
Damn it! Damn him!
"Bang!" A burst of sound came from the imperial study.
The people waiting inside and outside the door knelt down together.
Eunuch Yao looked at the broken inkstone and stepped forward quickly: "Your Majesty, calm down. Your health is more important. What virtue and ability did that lowly person have that deserves your anger?"
There was an abnormal red flash in the emperor's eyes.
Eunuch Yao was shocked.
In recent days, His Majesty's temper has become more and more difficult to understand. Even he, an old servant who has served His Majesty personally for more than 30 years, is finding it increasingly difficult to understand His Majesty's thoughts.
"Do you still remember Concubine Wei?" the emperor's voice was low.
"That's Prince Ning's biological mother. How dare I forget her?"
"What I'm asking is, do you remember what she looks like?"
Eunuch Yao is speechless...
Yes, he doesn't remember.
He had only met Concubine Wei three times. The first time was a few years after she entered the palace, when the emperor ordered him to go to the harem to convey the emperor's decree to favor her.
The second time was after she gave birth to Prince Ning, and he issued an imperial decree to confer a higher title on her.
The third time was after her death.
There are countless women in the harem, and most of them are like Concubine Wei. They are only favored by His Majesty once or twice and then disappear.
Even though Concubine Wei had the prince by her side, she could not get any more favor from His Majesty.
"I'm asking you a question, but you're mute?" The emperor looked at him unhappily.
Eunuch Yao hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I only remember that Concubine Wei was a woman as elegant as water. She never deliberately competed for favor. She was bullied a lot when she was a concubine, but she never complained to Your Majesty."
"Never deliberately vying for favor?" The emperor sneered, "As elegant as water? No wonder she is always on the mind of other men."
After saying this, he threw the information that the secret guards had found out to Eunuch Yao.
Even though he had the royal secrets in his hands, Eunuch Yao knew he had to read them.
He opened it slowly with shaking hands. It recorded Wei Shi's obsession with Concubine Wei over the years, as well as... the heinous acts he was planning.
The more you watch, the more shocking it becomes.
Back then, the bargaining chip that Your Majesty used to win over Wei was to vindicate his parents, so that they could be cleared of the label of criminals and be able to rest in peace.
But I didn't expect...his ambition is more than that. What he wants is to make Your Majesty extinct.
"This man is nothing but a foolish dreamer. He is just a lowly person. If it weren't for your majesty's favor, he wouldn't even have the chance to meet the royal family, let alone seek revenge. Concubine Wei and Prince Ning are also fools, they actually use such a servant."
The emperor was very annoyed. He rubbed his brows and ordered: "There is no need for him to confess. Let someone spend more time to torture him to death slowly... Remember, if he dies too quickly, it will not be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart."
The moment he was pulled out in front of everyone in Prince Ning's mansion, Wei Shi should have died.
He was brought back to the prison for interrogation only because the emperor wanted to know why the slave went against his plan and acted on his own! But now, after knowing the other party's dirty thoughts, he suddenly didn't want to know anymore.
"Yes." The secret guard responded.
"Also, dig up his parents' bones and scatter them to ashes! Before he dies, let him see their ashes with his own eyes."
The secret guard was startled and quickly agreed, "I will go down and give the order right away."
"Bastard!" The emperor's eyes turned even redder.
With a hint of terrifying bloodthirstiness.
Like Eunuch Yao, he had little impression of Concubine Wei.
In order to obtain the secret of longevity from the forbidden book, he has never been interested in women.
He took Concubine Wei into the palace just to have more children. He knew that too many people, whether they were members of the royal family or court officials, were eyeing his harem and children. Even though the queen had given birth to her eldest son, it was far from enough for those people.
There were more and more memorials on his desk requesting his emperor's approval to select concubines, and he could not ignore them, so he selected some women of humble family background to enter the palace.
Occasionally they would be favored by the emperor once or twice, and if they became pregnant and gave birth to a prince, it would not amount to much because of their mother's family background.
It was at that time that Concubine Wei entered the palace.
She became pregnant after being favored three times. After giving birth to Wu Tianxiao, the emperor never favored her again. For the emperor, he needed a son to silence the gossips of the people, but he didn't need too many sons.
The last time I saw Concubine Wei was before she died.
The woman seemed to have sensed something and begged him to release her underage son from the palace and let the trusted Wei Shi take care of the third prince's residence.
Which woman with children in the harem would not want her child to grow up by his side, get more love, and gain more benefits in the future?
But she was not like that. She never brought Wu Tianxiao to be close to him. He was so indifferent to the mother and son that he often forgot their existence.
Since there was no emotion between them, he fulfilled her wish.
But before that, he ordered people to find out Wei Shi's background and keep him firmly in his hands.
But he never thought that Wei Shi had been acting with him for so long!
How could he not hate!
"Bang!" The paperweight was thrown out.
Eunuch Yao was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot, which made Eunuch Yao almost lose his soul: "Your Majesty, calm down!"
The emperor's eyes began to blur. His hands clasped the table tightly, veins popping out. "Has Wai not been found yet?!"
Eunuch Yao hurriedly said, "The imperial guards are already searching the capital and surrounding areas. Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
"Wait?" The emperor's voice was hoarse. "Go and bring Lingxi here."
"Yes... yes..." Eunuch Yao wished he could disappear right away.
"Remember! Bring it from the secret passage." the emperor added.
Eunuch Yao didn't dare to entrust such a matter to others, he had to go and ask for help himself.
……
When Princess Lingxi appeared in the imperial study, she was only wearing a layer of gauze.
Her steps were trembling, and every step seemed to be filled with great pain.
Staying in the capital, she originally wanted to marry into a wealthy and prominent family, but she didn't expect... that she would become the emperor's concubine.
Nameless and without status, whenever he needed her, she could only be covered with a veil and led by an old servant to the devil's side.
But this time, the imperial study was empty.
She let out a long sigh: "Since His Majesty is not here, I will go back first."
"Don't be anxious, Princess. Have a cup of tea first." Eunuch Yao held up a cup of tea in both hands.
Lingxi's face turned pale instantly: "Thank you, eunuch... I... am not thirsty."
"Whether you are thirsty or not, the princess has to drink it anyway." Eunuch Yao smiled, "Some things are not your choice."
With trembling slender fingers, she picked up the cup of tea.
As soon as it went down the throat, it felt like an endless supply of poison.
Eunuch Yao walked out holding the empty teacup, and Lingxi knelt down on the ground helplessly.
After a moment, her whole body began to heat up, and the last piece of veil was completely torn off by her.
The door opened and the emperor, having taken off his dragon robe, walked over.
Sitting down not far away, he looked at her with his scarlet eyes, looking at her in an unbearable state.
"Come here and sit on it." Blood seemed to be dripping from his eyes.
