The Legend of Nanshan Jun
Chapter 55
After that night, Li Zhenrui came to Donghua Pavilion every day, and never summoned other concubines.
I rarely go out of Donghua Pavilion, I don't know if the harem is looking sideways, and I don't care.
Just because I thought the Hall of Eternal Life was too far away, Li Zhenrui seldom announced that I should go to the Hall of Eternal Life to serve as a bedside attendant.
It is the king's favor that concubines are fortunate to sleep in the Palace of Eternal Life. Occasionally, they will go to the concubine's palace on a whim, but if they go to the concubine's palace every night, it is more than favor.
During the summer solstice, Donghua Pavilion is quiet and cool.
After the song was over, the cold and crisp strings were still on my fingertips. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Li Zhenrui looking at me with a smile.
"Such a fresh song, if I came a step later, wouldn't I have missed it?" Li Zhenrui held my hand and asked, "It sounds a bit like "Spring Snow", but it's not quite the same."
I smiled lightly, looked up at him, "Your Majesty is right, I made this song based on "Spring Snow" and modified it a bit."
A look of admiration flashed across Li Zhenrui's eyes, "Why don't you play it for me again? It's just a solution to summer's irritability."
I couldn't help but reply, "I'm afraid the work of this humble official will not stand up to scrutiny."
Li Zhenrui waved his hands, "It's okay, just treat me as an ordinary listener, I just want to listen to Xi'er's piano more."
"Okay." I smiled.
In this way, he played another song for Li Zhenrui. Seeing him slightly closing his eyes, his expression relaxed, as if he was enjoying it.
When the sound of the zither gradually stopped, I turned my head and looked at him with a smile, "Has the emperor been to Yaguijun's poetry meeting today?"
Li Zhenrui opened his eyes, his brows and eyes seemed to be a little lazy, "Maybe you can hide here for leisure, why don't I come to hide from this?"
"I heard that Mr. Yagui invited you many times, but you finally declined." He squeezed my hand with a questioning tone, but it was very intimate.
I lowered my head and carefully looked at the texture of his palm, but I explained casually, "I am used to being alone, and I don't like to make noise. What's more, poetry is for the state of mind, and it's useless if the state of mind is not reached."
"You are really worthy of the name Nanshan Monarch." Li Zhenrui pinched my nose with love and hatred.
I was in pain, pulled his hand, and said in a bad mood, "Isn't the emperor here to be a lobbyist for Mr. Yagui? My minister is also about to send someone to bring a painting to cheer up the fun, but there is something rude about it." ?”
Li Zhenrui hugged my waist tightly, and smiled in my ear, "Of course not, I just miss you. I didn't see you, so I had to come here."
I glanced at the people walking around in the courtyard, and pushed him away with a blushing face.
However, he hugged him so tightly that I was naturally unable to break free.
"Did Xi'er take Hongsu soup today?" Li Zhenrui leaned down and licked my neck.
I straightened my body and removed his messy hands on my waist, "Of course, I never forget it every day."
"That's great. I see that your complexion is rosy these days, and your body should have improved a lot? It seems that Mu Bin's medical skills are really good. Why don't you let him continue to treat you?" Li Zhenrui asked casually.
If Li Zhenrui knew what Mu Bin thought about me, he probably wouldn't think so.
Naturally, I couldn't tell him the truth, so I just smiled and said, "Prince Mu has already fulfilled his duties as a doctor, and now I just need to take care of myself, so why bother him every day. Besides, no matter how good Dr. Mu's medical skills are, he is not as good as the emperor." Flavor medicine." I pointed my hand lightly at Li Zhenrui's chest, and looked at him with deep eyes.
Li Zhenrui grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on the back of my hand.
While speaking, hurried footsteps sounded.
Eunuch Ning saluted quickly, and whispered a few words in Li Zhenrui's ear.
Li Zhenrui frowned slightly, "Why do you need to argue about such a trivial matter, is there another reason?"
"Your majesty is wise." Eunuch Ning raised his hand, "That Wang Sheng is the concubine's nephew, and the concubine will inevitably protect her. Now Mr. Yagui and the concubine have different opinions. Mr. Donghua can't make the decision, so the situation is a bit embarrassing."
I lowered my head, and the corners of my lips raised slightly inaudibly.
"I heard that today's Poetry Association still has several outstanding talents. I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for outsiders to know about the disputes in the inner palace."
After hearing this, Li Zhenrui's face became even more ugly, "Punishing a small guard actually caused a dispute between the East Palace and the West Palace. I want to see what's going on."
I took Li Zhenrui's hand, "This minister is going to deliver the painting, why not go with the emperor."
"it is good."
Walking to the Liyuan, the atmosphere was a bit unusual. I didn't see the people reciting poems against each other, but only the figures of the two sides in a stalemate.
At the bottom are two disheveled people, one of them is covered with scars, kneeling on the ground with his head down, waiting to be punished, while the other looks haughty and shows no sign of panic.
Shangguan Wenya looked a little embarrassed, but Wang Guifei looked very casual, and the rest of the people were both optimistic about the show, and some were embarrassing.
Seeing Li Zhenrui, everyone knelt down and saluted as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Wang Guifei's expression tightened, "Why is the emperor here?"
Li Zhenrui pursed his lips lightly, "If I don't come, will I miss a good show?"
"Your Majesty...you were joking." Concubine Wang covered her lips and smiled, and took a few steps back uncomfortably.
Li Zhenrui glanced casually, looking at Shangguan Wenya, "Is everyone else gone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wenya lowered his head, his expression was much calmer than before, "I am ashamed, I failed to hold the poetry meeting well, and even made such a joke, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Li Zhenrui waved his hand, "It's not your fault." Then he looked at the crowd and asked, "Who will tell me what's going on?"
Concubine Wang Guifei took a step forward and was about to speak, but Li Zhenrui turned her head away from her, so she had no choice but to stop talking.
In the end, it was Cui Minglang who stepped forward and replied, "My Majesty, I am waiting to write a poem in Liyuan today, but I accidentally bumped into the guard Wang's businessman who wanted to QB the guard Wei Ming. If he came a step later, there might be a tragedy."
Wei Ming who was kneeling aside was covered in blood and scars, only a pair of empty eyes remained, as if his heart was ashes.
"Since this is the case, there is no need to say anything about how to deal with it." Li Zhenrui said calmly, "Yagui Jun, you can figure it out."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wenya responded, and said to the two kneeling on the ground, "Guard Wang Sheng, Xiaoshou. Guard Wei Ming, fifty big boards."
As soon as the words fell, Wang Guifei immediately stood up, "Your Majesty understands that there are many doubts in this matter, so we should not deal with these two hastily."
"Oh? What's suspicious?" Li Zhenrui looked at Concubine Wang.
Wang Guifei saw that Li Zhenrui was interested in listening, she looked happy, and said carefully, "Although Wang Sheng is the nephew of my concubine, my concubine will help me instead of helping my relatives. Since today is Yaguijun's poetry meeting, Wang Sheng will not be confused anymore." Doing that kind of thing to Wei Ming under the watchful eyes of the congregation is probably someone else's blame."
I have to admire Wang Guifei, who can still think of such rhetoric at this time.
Shangguan Wenya disagreed and said, "Weichen and others have seen it clearly. It is clear at a glance whether it was blamed on Wang Sheng or Wang Sheng himself."
"Why don't you listen to what Wang Sheng said, Your Majesty?" Wang Guifei asked tentatively.
Li Zhenrui was noncommittal.
Wang Guifei winked at Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng's eyes lit up immediately, and he put his hands on the ground and said very sincerely, "I know my crime is unforgivable, but I have to tell the truth. First of all, the servant was drugged by Wei Ming, so he was insane and did such a thing, please be aware of it, Your Majesty."
Cui Minglang asked in a deep voice, "Do you have evidence?"
Wang Sheng sighed, "The incident happened suddenly, and the slave didn't come to leave any evidence, but Zheng Si and Liu Da who were with the slave can prove that Wei Ming's behavior was disorderly, and he repeatedly seduced the slave."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
The original perpetrator became a victim in an instant, and everyone looked at Wang Sheng and Wei Ming with a little more complicated eyes.
No one could tell who was lying, and the case became a mystery in an instant, and it was even detrimental to Wei Ming.
Shangguan Wen Ya frowned, "No matter what the truth is, the actions of these two people are shameless and must be severely punished."
The conversation turned, and Shangguan Wenya went from defending Weiming to abandoning Weiming in an instant.
To him, it doesn't matter who is right, what matters is that they both messed up his poetry meeting, so neither of them can be forgiven.
Concubine Wang also nodded in agreement, but her words were quite different, "I agree, those who mess up the harem should be severely punished, and the victim Wang Sheng should be appeased."
Cui Minglang sneered, "Wang Guifei believes that Wang Sheng is the victim?"
"Otherwise, Wang Sheng has a certificate, does Wei Ming have one?" Concubine Wang retorted confidently.
Cui Minglang looked at Wei Ming, "Wei Ming, do you have evidence?"
Wei Ming lowered his head, his words were sorrowful, "Return to your lord, I don't have any, the only thing I have is the scars on my body."
Cui Minglang pointed to Wei Ming and asked Wang Sheng, "How do you explain this scar?"
Wang Sheng glanced at Wei Ming, and a trace of remorse appeared on his face, which seemed to come from the heart.
"It's the servant's fault. The servant is insane and did these stupid things. The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, and the empress forgives the sin..." Wang Shengqing kept kowtowing sincerely, blood was pouring out of his forehead, which made people unavoidable moved.
I didn't expect the situation to become like this. In the end, everyone had to focus on Li Zhenrui, and only the emperor could make a final decision.
Li Zhenrui glanced at Wang Sheng and Wei Ming calmly, then glanced around at the crowd who were holding their own opinions, with a serious expression on his face, "It seems that this matter is not simple."
He reached out to summon Eunuch Ning who was next to him, whispered a few words, and soon brought a few related people.
"Slave Zheng Si sees the emperor."
"Slave Liu Da sees the emperor."
"Slave Zhao Ming sees the emperor."
……
Several guards who were brought knelt down nervously.
I casually glanced at the guard named Zheng Si, who looked a little familiar, it was another guard who was on duty at Qingyan Hall with Wang Sheng that day.
All of these people are familiar with Wang Sheng, and their testimonies are mostly protective, which sounds rather unreliable.
Li Zhenrui stopped them with a wave of his hand, frowned slightly, then looked at Wei Ming and said, "Wei Ming, Zheng Sixan, you went from refusing to obey to half pushing and half agreeing, what's your argument?"
Wei Ming rubbed the corners of his eyes, raised his delicate face, "Reporting to the emperor, no one is willing to prove it for a slave. Our guards in the inner palace are afraid of Wang Sheng, even if he is violent, there is nothing he can do about it."
He glanced carefully at Concubine Wang, then took a deep breath, exposed his upper body, pointed to the scars on his body, and said, "These old wounds were from a few months ago, and they are almost healed now. New wounds cover old wounds, it's over." It’s been nearly a year. But the slave never gave in half-heartedly, the slave just wanted to die.”
The sadness in Wei Ming's eyes moved many people's faces, and there were indeed various abuse scars on his body, which made people unable to bear to look directly at them.
"Even so, it cannot be proved that Wang Sheng was the victim, unless someone saw it with their own eyes." Concubine Wang quickly added.
Li Zhenrui gave her a cold look, and ordered someone to strip off the shirts of the other guards. He also saw some scars. Although not as shocking as Wei Ming's, it was shocking enough.
When Wang Sheng saw the current situation, he became a little anxious at the moment, and he winked vigorously at Wang Guifei, and the look of pleading was obvious.
Concubine Wang frowned, cast a glance at him with hatred, and asked Zheng Si and the others, "Wang Sheng did all of your injuries?"
These few people shook their heads hastily, "It's the servants playing around at will, it has nothing to do with the guards of the king."
The situation became very delicate. Almost everyone could see Wang Sheng's harm, but no one or anything could prove his guilt.In addition, there is a royal concubine to protect her, Shangguan Wenya is hesitant, Cui Minglang can only sigh.
Li Zhenrui's expression has changed from the dull one just now to a casual one, as if he already knows everything in his chest, and he just looks down on the other people acting on the spot.
He tapped his fingers on the table, but suddenly turned to me and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Nanshan?"
I didn't expect him to ask my opinion, so I couldn't help smiling and said, "What Wang Guifei said is not unreasonable. There is indeed no direct evidence to prove what Wang Sheng did."
I walked a few steps slowly, just as I saw Wang Sheng looking at me with a surprised face, and there was a blur in his eyes that disgusted me.
"Mr. Nanshan thinks that Wang Sheng was wronged?" Fang Shengze looked at me with his arms crossed, with a look of disapproval.
"No." I waved my hand.
"Then how does Mr. Nanshan plan to prove Wang Sheng's 'innocence'?" Mo Cairen watched the show for a long time, and finally interjected, emphasizing the word "innocent", which is quite ironic.
"Could it be that you use Junshang's strange stone that connects yin and yang and understands gossip?" Before finishing speaking, she laughed herself, and the other female concubines also laughed.
Since Fan Jianbin's slander incident, everyone knows that the jade in my hands is just ordinary jade, and there is nothing magical about it.That's why Mo Caicai said this, it seemed to be teasing but his words were not good.
"If you want to know the truth, why use my jade."
"Oh? Mr. Nanshan has another idea?" Shangguan Wenya's eyes lit up.
"True is true, false is false. There are always clues to follow. If you really want to know, you need to investigate thoroughly." If Li Zhenrui really wanted to find out, Wang Sheng couldn't hide it even with his supernatural powers.
The mistake of Wang Guifei was to cover up too much, which turned a small misfortune into a catastrophe.Now that it has attracted the attention of the emperor, Wang Sheng will undoubtedly die.
With a wave of Li Zhenrui's right hand, Huo Qing took the order and left. Within an hour, he had gained something.
"Report to the emperor, dozens of lashes were found in Wang Sheng's room, some of which were still stained with blood."
"... These are some of the sexiest items and a large amount of royal medicine found in Wang Sheng's room."
"Wang Sheng's clothes are somewhat damaged for unknown reasons..."
"Slave...the healing plasters I found in Wei Ming's room are all used to treat...those wounds."
"There are still a few of Wang Sheng's cloth clothes in Wei Ming's room."
"The chief guard said that Wang Sheng was only willing to be on duty late at night, and he only wanted to be on duty in the Qingyan Palace area."
"Several guards in Qingyan Palace admitted to being beaten by Wang Sheng."
"Musician Lin Rui once heard screams from Qingyan Palace and thought it was haunted."
"Three guards once reported on Wang Sheng for provoking trouble and messing with the harem, but the result is unknown, and the three of them left the palace at the same time."
"Those three guards have disappeared, and their family members are also missing."
"The wound medicine in the imperial hospital is often in short supply, and the imperial concubine's palace... uses more."
"A guard from Zhongzhao Palace often goes in and out of Wang Sheng's bedroom."
"The slave guard Ma Luo saw Wang Sheng bullying Wei Ming with his own eyes."
"The servant and Wei Ming entered the palace in the same year and lived in the same room. Wei Ming is handsome and often raped by Wang Sheng."
"Slave..."
……
The emergence of more and more witnesses and evidence not only proved that Wang Sheng bullied Wei Ming and messed up the harem, but also found that Wang Sheng participated in fights, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and was notorious for corruption and dereliction of duty. Wang Guifei's protection and connivance made him arrogant to this day.
Wang Sheng is just a jerk.
Wang Guifei is my ultimate goal of setting up this game.
Wang Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, looked pale at the moment, looking at Wang Guifei with hopeful eyes, but Wang Guifei no longer looked at him.
In an instant, the building will fall, and the walls will be pushed down, unable to recover.
Li Zhenrui rubbed his forehead wearily, and said to Wang Guifei, "Yunhua, when did you become like this?"
Seeing Li Zhenrui's expression, Wang Guifei was alternately helpless and nervous, "Your Majesty... my concubine..."
"Is there anything else you need to defend your nephew?" Li Zhenrui asked.
Concubine Wang Guifei finally knelt down on the ground, with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. The evidence of Wang Sheng's crime is undeniable and unforgivable, but I only have this nephew left. Please forgive him." Fate, Chenqie can't help but watch him being punished... Chenqie is really ashamed of the royal family and ancestors."
I am a little surprised that Wang Guifei will mention that she is ashamed of the ancestors of the royal family.
What Wang Sheng did was disgusting, and the concubine Wang Guifei was too conniving.But seeing Li Zhenrui's somewhat moved expression, he vaguely had an answer.
That day, Wang Guifei was the only one left in the Wang family. I thought it was Li Zhenrui showing mercy to Wang Yunhua, but now it seems that Wang Guifei abandoned the whole family for Li Zhenrui.
Then there is a reasonable explanation for what she said about being ashamed of her ancestors.
He wanted to use Li Zhenrui's gratitude to him to save the king's life.
Li Zhenrui was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Wang Sheng is a cancer in the harem, he must die."
Wang Guifei suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
But Wang Sheng called to her for help over and over again, "Auntie, help me."
Li Zhenrui's cold eyes swept over, "Come here, Wang Sheng Ling Chi was executed, and the owl's head was displayed to the public."
"Yes."
The two guards around Wang Sheng escorted him away immediately.
Turning around to look at Concubine Wang, there was pity and disappointment in his eyes, he helped Concubine Wang up, "Don't you still have Yong'er, treat him as your own flesh and blood, far better than your nephew."
Only then did Concubine Wang regain some energy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Yong'er is close relatives with this concubine, and this concubine will treat him as his own."
I frowned slightly, and always felt a little strange. I have never met the prince Yonger, but it is said that he is the most cherished prince of Li Zhenrui. , can be described as extraordinarily dedicated to Li Yong.
It's just that Li Zhenrui is in his prime and should have countless sons, why are there only two sons, Li Yong and Li Hong, and why do they love Li Yong so much?
If I give birth to a prince for him in the future, will he love our child more?
Li Zhenrui nodded in satisfaction, and then straightened his face again, "But you also have an unshirkable responsibility for Wang Sheng's matter, and it would be unfair if I don't punish you."
Concubine Wang nodded hurriedly, "The concubine made a mistake first, and she is willing to be punished."
"Okay. You will be fined to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and your salary will be fined for one year. Concubine De will assist you in managing the East Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Wang Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and Concubine Shu De happily replied.
The originally tense atmosphere is now extremely harmonious, but this is not what I want.
Li Zhenrui's tolerance for Wang Yunhua was unexpected to me, and I have to say that I am a little regretful.
That's all, moving and rewarding will not be endless.If there is a next time, Wang Guifei will no longer have this favor, but will bear Li Zhenrui's real anger.
"As for Wei Ming..." Li Zhenrui glanced at him indifferently, with disgust in his eyes, as if he didn't want to see him again, "Although you are a victim, but..."
I picked up a pack of ointment and asked casually, "Wei Ming, is this ointment formulated for you by the Tai Hospital? I have never seen it before."
Wei Ming blushed slightly, "My lord, this is a secret recipe handed down from my slave's family, and it didn't come from the Tai Hospital. The wound of this slave...is special, so I dare not bother the Tai Hospital."
"Oh, is that so?" I smiled lightly, "How effective is it?"
Wei Ming's face became more and more red, "The effect...it's so good, the servant's injury depends entirely on it, otherwise the servant would have died long ago."
I laugh while saying nothing.
Li Zhenrui coughed, "Since that's the case, Wei Ming, if you have time, you can go to the Imperial Hospital more often. The imperial doctors should also improve a bit."
The imperial doctor on the other side repeatedly said yes, and wiped his sweat inadvertently.
The original punishment for Wei Ming was also ignored without pain or itching.
Li Zhenrui punished the perpetrators separately, and all the evidence was destroyed one by one.
I rarely go out of Donghua Pavilion, I don't know if the harem is looking sideways, and I don't care.
Just because I thought the Hall of Eternal Life was too far away, Li Zhenrui seldom announced that I should go to the Hall of Eternal Life to serve as a bedside attendant.
It is the king's favor that concubines are fortunate to sleep in the Palace of Eternal Life. Occasionally, they will go to the concubine's palace on a whim, but if they go to the concubine's palace every night, it is more than favor.
During the summer solstice, Donghua Pavilion is quiet and cool.
After the song was over, the cold and crisp strings were still on my fingertips. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Li Zhenrui looking at me with a smile.
"Such a fresh song, if I came a step later, wouldn't I have missed it?" Li Zhenrui held my hand and asked, "It sounds a bit like "Spring Snow", but it's not quite the same."
I smiled lightly, looked up at him, "Your Majesty is right, I made this song based on "Spring Snow" and modified it a bit."
A look of admiration flashed across Li Zhenrui's eyes, "Why don't you play it for me again? It's just a solution to summer's irritability."
I couldn't help but reply, "I'm afraid the work of this humble official will not stand up to scrutiny."
Li Zhenrui waved his hands, "It's okay, just treat me as an ordinary listener, I just want to listen to Xi'er's piano more."

"You are really worthy of the name Nanshan Monarch." Li Zhenrui pinched my nose with love and hatred.
I was in pain, pulled his hand, and said in a bad mood, "Isn't the emperor here to be a lobbyist for Mr. Yagui? My minister is also about to send someone to bring a painting to cheer up the fun, but there is something rude about it." ?”
Li Zhenrui hugged my waist tightly, and smiled in my ear, "Of course not, I just miss you. I didn't see you, so I had to come here."

"It's the servant's fault. The servant is insane and did these stupid things. The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, and the empress forgives the sin..." Wang Shengqing kept kowtowing sincerely, blood was pouring out of his forehead, which made people unavoidable moved.
I didn't expect the situation to become like this. In the end, everyone had to focus on Li Zhenrui, and only the emperor could make a final decision.
Li Zhenrui glanced at Wang Sheng and Wei Ming calmly, then glanced around at the crowd who were holding their own opinions, with a serious expression on his face, "It seems that this matter is not simple."
He reached out to summon Eunuch Ning who was next to him, whispered a few words, and soon brought a few related people.
"Slave Zheng Si sees the emperor."
"Slave Liu Da sees the emperor."
"Slave Zhao Ming sees the emperor."
……
Several guards who were brought knelt down nervously.
I casually glanced at the guard named Zheng Si, who looked a little familiar, it was another guard who was on duty at Qingyan Hall with Wang Sheng that day.
All of these people are familiar with Wang Sheng, and their testimonies are mostly protective, which sounds rather unreliable.
Li Zhenrui stopped them with a wave of his hand, frowned slightly, then looked at Wei Ming and said, "Wei Ming, Zheng Sixan, you went from refusing to obey to half pushing and half agreeing, what's your argument?"
Wei Ming rubbed the corners of his eyes, raised his delicate face, "Reporting to the emperor, no one is willing to prove it for a slave. Our guards in the inner palace are afraid of Wang Sheng, even if he is violent, there is nothing he can do about it."
He glanced carefully at Concubine Wang, then took a deep breath, exposed his upper body, pointed to the scars on his body, and said, "These old wounds were from a few months ago, and they are almost healed now. New wounds cover old wounds, it's over." It’s been nearly a year. But the slave never gave in half-heartedly, the slave just wanted to die.”
The sadness in Wei Ming's eyes moved many people's faces, and there were indeed various abuse scars on his body, which made people unable to bear to look directly at them.
"Even so, it cannot be proved that Wang Sheng was the victim, unless someone saw it with their own eyes." Concubine Wang quickly added.
Li Zhenrui gave her a cold look, and ordered someone to strip off the shirts of the other guards. He also saw some scars. Although not as shocking as Wei Ming's, it was shocking enough.
When Wang Sheng saw the current situation, he became a little anxious at the moment, and he winked vigorously at Wang Guifei, and the look of pleading was obvious.
Concubine Wang frowned, cast a glance at him with hatred, and asked Zheng Si and the others, "Wang Sheng did all of your injuries?"
These few people shook their heads hastily, "It's the servants playing around at will, it has nothing to do with the guards of the king."
The situation became very delicate. Almost everyone could see Wang Sheng's harm, but no one or anything could prove his guilt.In addition, there is a royal concubine to protect her, Shangguan Wenya is hesitant, Cui Minglang can only sigh.
Li Zhenrui's expression has changed from the dull one just now to a casual one, as if he already knows everything in his chest, and he just looks down on the other people acting on the spot.
He tapped his fingers on the table, but suddenly turned to me and asked, "What do you think of Mr. Nanshan?"
I didn't expect him to ask my opinion, so I couldn't help smiling and said, "What Wang Guifei said is not unreasonable. There is indeed no direct evidence to prove what Wang Sheng did."
I walked a few steps slowly, just as I saw Wang Sheng looking at me with a surprised face, and there was a blur in his eyes that disgusted me.
"Mr. Nanshan thinks that Wang Sheng was wronged?" Fang Shengze looked at me with his arms crossed, with a look of disapproval.
"No." I waved my hand.
"Then how does Mr. Nanshan plan to prove Wang Sheng's 'innocence'?" Mo Cairen watched the show for a long time, and finally interjected, emphasizing the word "innocent", which is quite ironic.
"Could it be that you use Junshang's strange stone that connects yin and yang and understands gossip?" Before finishing speaking, she laughed herself, and the other female concubines also laughed.
Since Fan Jianbin's slander incident, everyone knows that the jade in my hands is just ordinary jade, and there is nothing magical about it.That's why Mo Caicai said this, it seemed to be teasing but his words were not good.
"If you want to know the truth, why use my jade."
"Oh? Mr. Nanshan has another idea?" Shangguan Wenya's eyes lit up.
"True is true, false is false. There are always clues to follow. If you really want to know, you need to investigate thoroughly." If Li Zhenrui really wanted to find out, Wang Sheng couldn't hide it even with his supernatural powers.
The mistake of Wang Guifei was to cover up too much, which turned a small misfortune into a catastrophe.Now that it has attracted the attention of the emperor, Wang Sheng will undoubtedly die.
With a wave of Li Zhenrui's right hand, Huo Qing took the order and left. Within an hour, he had gained something.
"Report to the emperor, dozens of lashes were found in Wang Sheng's room, some of which were still stained with blood."
"... These are some of the sexiest items and a large amount of royal medicine found in Wang Sheng's room."
"Wang Sheng's clothes are somewhat damaged for unknown reasons..."
"Slave...the healing plasters I found in Wei Ming's room are all used to treat...those wounds."
"There are still a few of Wang Sheng's cloth clothes in Wei Ming's room."
"The chief guard said that Wang Sheng was only willing to be on duty late at night, and he only wanted to be on duty in the Qingyan Palace area."
"Several guards in Qingyan Palace admitted to being beaten by Wang Sheng."
"Musician Lin Rui once heard screams from Qingyan Palace and thought it was haunted."
"Three guards once reported on Wang Sheng for provoking trouble and messing with the harem, but the result is unknown, and the three of them left the palace at the same time."
"Those three guards have disappeared, and their family members are also missing."
"The wound medicine in the imperial hospital is often in short supply, and the imperial concubine's palace... uses more."
"A guard from Zhongzhao Palace often goes in and out of Wang Sheng's bedroom."
"The slave guard Ma Luo saw Wang Sheng bullying Wei Ming with his own eyes."
"The servant and Wei Ming entered the palace in the same year and lived in the same room. Wei Ming is handsome and often raped by Wang Sheng."
"Slave..."
……
The emergence of more and more witnesses and evidence not only proved that Wang Sheng bullied Wei Ming and messed up the harem, but also found that Wang Sheng participated in fights, picking quarrels and provoking troubles, and was notorious for corruption and dereliction of duty. Wang Guifei's protection and connivance made him arrogant to this day.
Wang Sheng is just a jerk.
Wang Guifei is my ultimate goal of setting up this game.
Wang Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, looked pale at the moment, looking at Wang Guifei with hopeful eyes, but Wang Guifei no longer looked at him.
In an instant, the building will fall, and the walls will be pushed down, unable to recover.
Li Zhenrui rubbed his forehead wearily, and said to Wang Guifei, "Yunhua, when did you become like this?"
Seeing Li Zhenrui's expression, Wang Guifei was alternately helpless and nervous, "Your Majesty... my concubine..."
"Is there anything else you need to defend your nephew?" Li Zhenrui asked.
Concubine Wang Guifei finally knelt down on the ground, with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. The evidence of Wang Sheng's crime is undeniable and unforgivable, but I only have this nephew left. Please forgive him." Fate, Chenqie can't help but watch him being punished... Chenqie is really ashamed of the royal family and ancestors."
I am a little surprised that Wang Guifei will mention that she is ashamed of the ancestors of the royal family.
What Wang Sheng did was disgusting, and the concubine Wang Guifei was too conniving.But seeing Li Zhenrui's somewhat moved expression, he vaguely had an answer.
That day, Wang Guifei was the only one left in the Wang family. I thought it was Li Zhenrui showing mercy to Wang Yunhua, but now it seems that Wang Guifei abandoned the whole family for Li Zhenrui.
Then there is a reasonable explanation for what she said about being ashamed of her ancestors.
He wanted to use Li Zhenrui's gratitude to him to save the king's life.
Li Zhenrui was silent for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Wang Sheng is a cancer in the harem, he must die."
Wang Guifei suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears.
But Wang Sheng called to her for help over and over again, "Auntie, help me."
Li Zhenrui's cold eyes swept over, "Come here, Wang Sheng Ling Chi was executed, and the owl's head was displayed to the public."
"Yes."
The two guards around Wang Sheng escorted him away immediately.
Turning around to look at Concubine Wang, there was pity and disappointment in his eyes, he helped Concubine Wang up, "Don't you still have Yong'er, treat him as your own flesh and blood, far better than your nephew."
Only then did Concubine Wang regain some energy, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Yong'er is close relatives with this concubine, and this concubine will treat him as his own."
I frowned slightly, and always felt a little strange. I have never met the prince Yonger, but it is said that he is the most cherished prince of Li Zhenrui. , can be described as extraordinarily dedicated to Li Yong.
It's just that Li Zhenrui is in his prime and should have countless sons, why are there only two sons, Li Yong and Li Hong, and why do they love Li Yong so much?
If I give birth to a prince for him in the future, will he love our child more?
Li Zhenrui nodded in satisfaction, and then straightened his face again, "But you also have an unshirkable responsibility for Wang Sheng's matter, and it would be unfair if I don't punish you."
Concubine Wang nodded hurriedly, "The concubine made a mistake first, and she is willing to be punished."
"Okay. You will be fined to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and your salary will be fined for one year. Concubine De will assist you in managing the East Palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Concubine Wang Guifei breathed a sigh of relief, and Concubine Shu De happily replied.
The originally tense atmosphere is now extremely harmonious, but this is not what I want.
Li Zhenrui's tolerance for Wang Yunhua was unexpected to me, and I have to say that I am a little regretful.
That's all, moving and rewarding will not be endless.If there is a next time, Wang Guifei will no longer have this favor, but will bear Li Zhenrui's real anger.
"As for Wei Ming..." Li Zhenrui glanced at him indifferently, with disgust in his eyes, as if he didn't want to see him again, "Although you are a victim, but..."
I picked up a pack of ointment and asked casually, "Wei Ming, is this ointment formulated for you by the Tai Hospital? I have never seen it before."
Wei Ming blushed slightly, "My lord, this is a secret recipe handed down from my slave's family, and it didn't come from the Tai Hospital. The wound of this slave...is special, so I dare not bother the Tai Hospital."
"Oh, is that so?" I smiled lightly, "How effective is it?"
Wei Ming's face became more and more red, "The effect...it's so good, the servant's injury depends entirely on it, otherwise the servant would have died long ago."
I laugh while saying nothing.
Li Zhenrui coughed, "Since that's the case, Wei Ming, if you have time, you can go to the Imperial Hospital more often. The imperial doctors should also improve a bit."
The imperial doctor on the other side repeatedly said yes, and wiped his sweat inadvertently.
The original punishment for Wei Ming was also ignored without pain or itching.
Li Zhenrui punished the perpetrators separately, and all the evidence was destroyed one by one.
