Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 386: Unworthy of the throne
Somehow, when meeting Song's strange and hateful eyes, Yongsheng's heart felt as if it was being grabbed by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much that he almost suffocated.
"I'm so sorry, just hit me more accurately! I can't escape this disaster. If you can't treat Yongxuan well after you succeed, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Song did not forget to plan for her children. Ruyi had to admire her psychological quality later on.
Yongcheng was furious, and he didn't know how much of it was for the Song family and how much was for himself.
He gave a look to the person beside him, who immediately raised his arms and shouted. The soldiers behind him raised their weapons and spears and slowly surrounded the people in the hall in a corner.
Most of the guards in the Qing Dynasty were from the Eight Banners.
The emperor recognized at a glance that the man in the lead was a descendant of the Niuhulu clan, who had been serving as the commander of the guards in the palace.
He should have been the emperor's most trusted guard, but unexpectedly he rebelled early and served under Yongsheng.
The emperor was extremely disappointed and couldn't help but ask why.
The guard leader did not hide his hatred for the emperor and said angrily, "Why? The emperor clearly knows that Prince Shun's wife is my sister!
I know that Prince Zhong is the Queen's son and is of great value. The Emperor has always been very fond of him.
But I never imagined that the Emperor would favor Prince Zhong to such an outrageous degree!
The emperor asked me why, and I would like to ask you why, when Prince Zhong's wife forced my sister to death, you continued to protect the murderer?
Even for such a crime involving human life, they were unwilling to punish Prince Zhong's wife in the slightest!"
The emperor was speechless and choked, then shouted angrily, "It's not that I don't want to punish, nor am I biased. It's just that there is insufficient evidence, how can I make a conclusion!
Your sister is already frail and weak, but is her life a life, while Prince Zhong’s wife’s life is not a life?
I have already ordered that Prince Zhong's wife be placed under house arrest in the prince's palace, so that we can conduct a thorough investigation, not wrongly accuse innocent people, and not let the real murderer go.
And you...are you going to betray me just for this reason?
You, the Niuhulu clan, have truly wasted my filial admiration for the Empress Dowager!"
The guard commander's face turned pale and blue.
He was indeed a little impulsive, but that was his precious sister who he had watched grow up year by year and was spoiled.
Although his sister was born with some deficiencies, she was carefully provided with various medicines at home and grew up living a rich and stable life.
I thought my sister had married the prince and became his legitimate wife, and that her bright future had just begun with her husband living in harmony with her.
But after a seemingly ordinary banquet, his sister died strangely. How could he remain calm? !
"Well, now that things have come to this, what's the point of arguing about these things? When I ascend the throne, I will definitely avenge your sister, my legitimate wife!"
Yongsheng didn't know what he was feeling guilty about, so he quickly interrupted the conversation between the two and continued to move forward towards the emperor with a knife in hand.
There is a huge gap in manpower between the two sides, and with such a confrontation, the encirclement is bound to shrink smaller and smaller.
At this moment, Yongqi arrived in time with the deputy commander of the guards and a group of guards. They rushed into the Yangxin Palace in the name of rescuing the emperor, and surrounded Yongcheng and others.
The deputy commander usually had a very good relationship with the commander. When he saw his best friend being deceived and used, he didn't care about anything else and hurriedly shouted,
"Commander-in-chief, there is something fishy about your sister's death! The real murderer is not Prince Zhong's wife, but Prince Shun who is right next to you!"
"Nonsense! How could I possibly harm the person next to me?"
Yongcheng argued in panic.
"You are Prince Zhong's man, so you will naturally speak for Prince Zhong!"
"If you think the human evidence is insufficient, then what about the physical evidence?"
Xilin Gioro slowly walked out from behind Yongqi, holding a small box wrapped in silk cloth in her hand. In the box was a black and sticky substance, which turned out to be some kind of medicinal residue.
Yongsheng couldn't help but take a step back, and listened to Xilin Jueluo's explanation that the sister-in-law of a distant relative in her clan happened to be an old acquaintance of the women in Doctor Xi's family.
Doctor Xi was good friends with Yongcheng and he often went to the mansion to check Niuhulu's pulse.
She asked her family to bring the medicinal residue out from Prince Shun's mansion.
It was confirmed by the maid who came with Niuhulu that the source of the medicine residue was the same one that Niuhulu had been taking during her lifetime.
That was the medicine that was prescribed to Niuhulu by the imperial physician Xi at the instruction of Yongsheng. It was said to be able to regulate the body and help her get pregnant sooner.
Niu Hulu was innocent and simple, she did not suspect anything and continued to take the medicine diligently. However, she did not expect that after checking, she found that the medicine was a chronic poison that destroyed the human body!
It turned out that Yongsheng had already made up his mind to murder Niuhulu.
And Xilin Gioro was just an unlucky guy who had to take the blame.
If the frame-up was successful, not only would Yongji lose the emperor's favor, but Nianhulu would also completely turn against Yongji and defect to him.
Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
If it fails, at least Niuhulu is dead, and there will be one less obstacle between Yongsheng and the Song family.
In any case, the death of Niuhulu was entirely beneficial to Yongsheng.
Yongsheng naturally refused to admit it and said with his neck stiff that these were all frame-ups.
But when the commander of the guards saw the maid that came with Nianhulu's dowry appear and kneel on the ground crying, he gradually came to a conclusion after thinking about it for a while.
The emperor was furious and shocked, because it was Yongsheng who asked for Niuhulu's hand in marriage, and at that time, Yongsheng was not yet an adult.
The emperor couldn't imagine how deep his scheming was if Yongsheng had already planned a rebellion at that time...
Yongsheng saw that something was not right and said no more. In a hurry, he took the lead and led the charge towards the emperor, intending to capture the king as a hostage and seize the upper hand.
The hall was crowded with people, and Yongqi was too far away to get close for a while.
Seeing that the situation was critical, the soldiers behind Yongsheng unexpectedly turned against them. They all stopped and stood still.
Yong Cheng was confused and furious. "Now that things have come to this, what are you still hesitating about? It's too late to regret now. If you want to live, follow me and kill me!"
Unfortunately, Yongsheng's passionate speech failed to boost morale.
The leading guard commander stood still, looking at Yongcheng indifferently, and was the first to turn against them, throwing down his sword in the battle, turning the direction of the sword in his hand and pointing it directly at Yongcheng.
"What are you doing? Are you, the Niuhulu clan, giving up the merit of following the dragon?"
Yongcheng suppressed his anger and tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Those who accomplish great things do not pay attention to trivial matters. Today, you help me become emperor, and in the future, I will not mistreat the Niuhulu clan.
As for your sister, I will also posthumously confer the title of Queen on her and grant your Niuhulu clan the highest honor and position..."
"Except for a villain like you, who cares about those empty reputations behind them?"
The guard leader asked coldly, "You poisoned my sister and even tried to instigate our Niuhuru clan to rebel with you. You are so cunning and vicious!
I hate your hypocritical faces that talk about morality and justice and put profit above all else. People like you are not worthy of ascending the throne!"
