Clear and Muddy Loss of Love

dyed with blood

Nangong Shunu suppressed the doubts in her heart, slowed down her pace and walked towards the mourning hall.

Through the open gate, one can vaguely see the coffin parked inside, but the strange thing is that there is still no cry.

Soon Nangong Shunv also discovered the abnormality: with the respected status of Concubine Hui in the harem, the palace people should wear hemp and mourning and kneel outside the mourning hall...

But the courtyard outside the main hall was empty. Although the palace people put on plain onyx, there were no worshipers at the gate.

All the maidservants and servants in the palace hurriedly walked with their heads bowed.

It happened that Nangong Jingnv came out from the mourning hall of the main hall, Nangong Shunv stopped and waved to her.

Nangong Jingnv also changed into a plain palace dress, and all the accessories on her head were removed, leaving only a pure black hairpin.

She came in front of Nangong Shunv, with a strange expression on her face, and said in a low voice, "Concubine Hui is dead."

Nangong Shunv nodded: "I already know, is the emperor here? What did the imperial doctor say? Where are the second and fourth brothers?"

Nangong Jingnv's lips moved, she looked back, took Nangong Shunv's hand and walked to a secluded place, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Something happened, the emperor came here and made a big fuss." My temper has gone back, and I heard Father Sijiu say that my father wants to hand over this matter to the Inner Court Secretary, Zongzheng Temple and Dali Temple."

Nangong Shunv frowned slightly. The two yamen should be involved in the imperial concubine's funeral, but Dali Temple ranks among the nine divisions. It is an institution directly under the hands of the kings of all dynasties. Ministry of punishment.

Nangong Shunv: "Dali Temple, why did this incident alarm Dali Temple? Could it be that Concubine Hui...was murdered?" Apart from this possibility, Nangong Shunv really couldn't think of what Dali Temple would do. The imperial concubine has always been in good health, and her sudden death may also be the reason.

Nangong Jingnv's face was serious, she was silent for a long time before she slowly said: "The concubine Hui died suddenly. The servants who served her first went to the imperial doctor, but after the imperial doctor came, the empress has already gone. Such a big accident happened. The incident naturally alarmed the royal father. After seeing the body of the imperial concubine, the royal father was furious. He ordered the palace to be sealed, and every palace person on duty was recorded in the register. He also called the inner court army to search the entire Cheng'en Palace. ,result……"

Nangong Jingnv took a deep breath, showing an expression of lingering fear: "As a result, a box was found under the Buddhist hall, which contained two dolls..."

Nangong Jingnv didn't say any more, the two sisters looked at each other and were silent.

Witchcraft!Unexpectedly, this kind of thing that would be accompanied by court bloodshed and even dynasty changes every time it appeared in the past dynasties would appear in this dynasty!

Nangong Shunv's heart was pounding, she looked around and was afraid that there was an unknown person standing beside her, hearing this "court secret".

At this moment, she felt that the sky had become gray, as if it was covered with a layer of black haze.

There are a total of two dolls found, one of which represents who is self-evident, what about the other?

Nangong Shunv swallowed, took a step forward, almost clinging to Nangong Jingnv, and asked in a very small voice: "Whose other doll... is it?"

Nangong Jingnv's face was also very ugly, with a hint of horror in her eyes, she replied in a low voice: "It is said that the big emperor's birthday is pasted on the villain's body."

Nangong Shunv only felt a thunderbolt explode in her mind, the hairs on her back stood up, and a chill rose from her lower body, straight to the top of her head.

Nangong Shunv's body swayed, and she took Nangong Jingnv's hand, feeling the same coldness on both fingertips.

The two entered the mourning hall, and almost all members of the royal family came, except for the two underage princes, Lao Ba Lao Jiu.

In the early years of the founding of the former dynasty, there was a case of witchcraft, which was recorded in detail in the history books. Not only the entire family of the concubine and mother involved in the incident were killed, but even the prince who was very promising to inherit the throne was also punished. Lianlian, imprisoned for a lifetime...

Moreover, the people involved have been arrested from the inner court to the imperial court, and nearly ten thousand people were sentenced to beheading alone...

In order to close the case as soon as possible, the execution rule of "three quarters at noon" had to be changed all the time. All the executioners from all over the country were called to the capital, and more than 100 executioners were executed in groups of ten in rotation, from morning to night It took nearly ten hours...

Human heads and corpses rolled everywhere. It was really a pile of corpses, and crows and doves hovered around the mass graves for months.

It is said that Caishikou was in depression for several years in a row, and blood seeped into the cracks in the stone slabs.A hundred years later, if one of the floor tiles there was uncovered again, there might still be dark blood stains.

This is the consequence that will be faced once the technique of witchcraft is discovered.

The mourning hall was quiet, the second prince Nangong Wei and the fourth prince Nangong Zhen were kneeling beside the coffin, their faces were devoid of even a trace of blood, and the timid fourth prince was already trembling with fright and could hardly kneel.

Sadness is inevitable when a biological mother dies.But for something as big as the witchcraft, the fear has long since diluted the sadness. The moment the inner court guards found the box, the entire Chengen Palace's palace servants were guilty. After this catastrophe is still unknown.

The mourning hall is extremely simple, without even a brazier.The selection of the coffin was not the standard of a noble concubine, which shows how furious Nangong Rang was about this matter.

Looking at the audience, there is only one person who is the happiest.

That was the third prince standing in the corner with his head down all the time - Nangongwang.

Concubine Hui was already wearing a sinful body, he didn't have to kneel, the reason why he lowered his head was because he was afraid that he would accidentally laugh out loud.

Jingjia's 11 years can be said to be a turn of events for him, and he is lucky.

First, I got the beauty I was thinking of: Ji Ya.Then the second child and the fourth child who have been pressing on my head all this time are over!

The lame fifth, even though he was still in prison, Nan Gongwang still felt that it was unlikely that his father would pass on the throne to him.The eldest is dead, the sixth child is dissolute and useless, and the seventh mother and concubine died early and is fostered at her knees, with a low status.The old eight and the nine hairs are not all grown, so they are not qualified to compete with themselves.

Nan Gongwang, who lowered his head, couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, curled his mouth, and even thought: It's best that after the matter is dealt with, the father can't stand it, and kicks his legs to die, then the throne will be Own it!

Everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, but no one noticed Nangong Wang's expression, except for one...

Nangong Jingnv looked away from Nangong Wang, the third brother kept her head down, and she couldn't see the other's expression, but she still saw the movement of raising her hand to cover her lips just now.

Sadness is absolutely impossible, so... are you laughing?

Nangong Jingnv looked again at the second and fourth brothers who were half paralyzed on the ground. Concubine Hui was lying quietly in the coffin, wearing a pure white tunic.She died suddenly in her sleep, and before she even put on her clothes, she was found to be related to witchcraft, so she had to wear this clothes and was placed in a thin coffin.

Nangong Jingnv felt that her hands and feet were cold, and everyone around her felt strange to her. She turned around and exited the hall, went down the steps and took a few deep breaths to feel better.

The horoscope of the emperor's birth date has always been top secret. Concubine Hui is an old man next to the emperor, so it is not surprising to know, but the problem is...

The eldest prince Nan Gongping has a low status and has been raised outside the palace. How did Concubine Hui know his birthday?

It is true that the eldest prince died very strangely, but he has been dead for almost a year. With the mind of Concubine Hui, how could she continue to keep the useless witch and gu villain?

Then look at the second and fourth brothers who were limp on the ground and didn't shed a single tear from the beginning to the end. Could it be that the death of the biological mother is not as important as protecting oneself?

Also, the third brother who was wearing plain clothes and snickering in the corner, the sixth brother who was drunk all day long, and the fifth brother who leaned on a cane and kept silent...

The more Nangong Jingnv thought about it, the more frightened she became. She looked at the maidservants walking by from time to time in a hurry.

These people are still alive at this moment, and it is impossible to say when they will be decapitated.

Concubine Hui passed away, and she didn't even have a chance to defend herself. The entire Cheng'en Palace will be sentenced to death some day in the future.

There are hundreds of people at least!The deaths of hundreds of people were predictable and doomed. Nangong Jingnu knew it, and they knew it too!

The scary thing is that I am watching them, the real ones.

A burst of footsteps and the sound of iron chains hitting interrupted Nangong Jingnu's thoughts. She looked up and saw a majestic man in a red official uniform, leading a team of more than a dozen people towards the main hall.

The leading man in the red official uniform had a majestic bird embroidered with gold thread on the patch on his chest.

According to legend: Dragon has nine sons, the name of the seven sons is: Bi An; he is good at litigation and powerful in his life.

Looking at the entire court, the only person who is qualified to use gold thread as a guide, and embroider 狴犴 on the patch of official uniform is the Dali Temple Minister.

Dali Siqing's right hand was raised by his ear, holding a pair of shining scrolls in his hand.

Nangong Jingnv's heart sank: What should come has finally come.

Dali Temple Minister also saw Nangong Jingnv, but he just bowed slightly to Nangong Jingnv, and led the people to the main hall.
