Pet official

Concubine De's face changed color, she stared angrily and said, "What are you looking at me for?"

Concubine Shu looked at the string of beads on Concubine De's wrist, smiled, but said nothing.Sun Jieyu's status was too low, she knew in her heart that she didn't dare to come out and laugh at this moment.

The other concubines were not so easy to get along with.Concubine De has always been domineering, sharp-tongued, and loves to speak sarcasm. All the concubines in the palace have been ridiculed by her, and now they have finally seized the opportunity to show the anger they have accumulated over the years. They will not let it go easily.

Several concubines gathered together, all covering their mouths and laughing.A woman in a lotus-colored dress smiled and said, "Look, sisters, does she still have the face to ask? Seeing that her death is imminent, the witnesses and physical evidence of the family are all in front of her eyes, and the concubine Defei is still there." The mouth is stiff here, ouch, that cheek is really too thick."

"That's right. If I were to be replaced, I would have been so ashamed that I would have bumped my head to death. How dare I act so confidently and pretend like I'm okay."

"You don't have the skills of a concubine, hehe, you don't even look, who is he? You can learn that foxy kung fu by yourself?"

The woman in the Mi Fen shirt pretended to be frightened, and pulled a few concubines and said: "Sisters, stop talking, be careful to let the Empress Defei hear, and push you into the Jasper Pond!"

Everyone burst into laughter, Concubine De became angry from embarrassment.

"Bah! You little tongue-chewing hooves, what does that glazed stone have anything to do with me? There are so many glazed stones in the world, is it only on me?"

The woman in the Mi Fen shirt widened her almond eyes, and said in surprise: "The concubine De concubine has such a big face! Who in this world does not know that the colored glaze stone only comes from the Xiyue Kingdom, because it is extremely difficult to mine, even in the palace of the Xiyue Kingdom. Not everyone has it. There are even fewer of us in Dongli. Except for the one in the emperor’s bedroom, the other one is in your hands. Now what no one else has, it just appeared on this slave. You have nothing to do with it? Could it be that you want to say that the emperor gave it to him?"

The woman in the Mi Fen shirt raised her eyebrows, Mi Fen's face was filled with anger, she walked up to Emperor Hongyou, bowed Yingying, "The concubine complained for Wan Sui, Xiao Changfu's murder of Zhao Shurong must have been done by Concubine De, and has absolutely nothing to do with Wan Sui .”

There was a hint of ridicule in this remark, but the woman in the rice fen shirt spoke so righteously that everyone in the garden did not dare to laugh, and all stared at how Emperor Hongyou would react.

Emperor Hongyou's chubby face turned blue and white, and his complexion became more and more ugly. Hearing the words of the woman in Mifenshan, his face became purple with anger.He grabbed Concubine De's wrist, looked at the string of beads made of glazed stones, and asked sharply: "What's going on here? This thing is a tribute, and it won't be found anywhere except in the palace. I will give it to you." Yours is a whole piece of high-quality stone, and you ground the string of beads... what about the rest? Could it be that you bribed Xiao Changfu and killed Zhao Shurong?"

Concubine De was so frightened that her face turned pale, she was stunned for a while, and then she thought of sophistry, she sobbed: "There is absolutely no such thing. I rewarded the remaining stones to my servants, who would have thought that they would take them later?" What did you do? You said I gave it to Xiao Changfu, what evidence do you have? These people are clearly united to frame me, long live don't be fooled by them. Could it be that even the emperor doesn't protect Xiaoyun, but wants to bully with them Me!"

Emperor Hongyou hesitated, Concubine De cried pitifully, her soft, boneless waist twisted back and forth in his arms, twisting Emperor Hongyou's heart into a mess, if you don't believe it, the evidence is in front of you, believe it if you have the heart , and really can't bear the beauty.

Empress Wei couldn't wait any longer, now that the situation has turned around, it's a godsend opportunity, not only the traitor Xiao Changfu, but also the little goblin Concubine De can be eradicated at the same time, it will save her a lot of trouble in the future.

The queen ordered Zheng Changchun: "Hit me! Make sure Xiao Changfu tells the truth."

Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, there is only one confession left.As long as Xiao Changfu pleads guilty in public, saying that Concubine De ordered him to kill Zhao Shurong, then Emperor Hongyou can't control what happened today.

Concubine De, a lowly maidservant, not only speaks rudely, but also wants to abolish the crown prince and make her son the heir apparent, it is simply extremely hateful.

Empress Wei also became ruthless at this time, her cold face was even more chilly, she shouted for orders, Zheng Changchun immediately took orders, immediately called two strong deacons and eunuchs, and said: "Beat! "The two deacons and eunuchs picked up the whips in their hands, dipped them in the salt water, and threw them at Xiao Changfu aggressively.

After a dozen whips, Xiao Changfu lost his voice, his clothes were torn apart, bloody cuts criss-crossed each other, Concubine De saw it and shivered.

After being tortured, Xiao Changfu begged repeatedly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Empress, this servant has served you for so many years, and there is no merit but hard work. You never miss it, but you also miss it because the slave is loyal, ouch!"

Zheng Changchun was afraid that what Xiao Changfu said would soften Empress Wei's heart, so he hastily whipped the whip and lashed Xiao Changfu hard, making him complain so much that he couldn't care less about saying anything else.

Xiao Changfu gritted his teeth and cursed: "Zheng Changchun, don't think that you can regain the trust of the empress by getting rid of me, you have to look carefully, my end today is your end tomorrow, we are slaves, so fuck it Master's dog, no matter how well you bark, you will inevitably be skinned and eaten by the master in the future, and thrown into the soup pot. Haha..."

Xiao Changfu laughed sharply, the laughter made everyone's hair stand on end, his words made Zheng Changchun a little disheartened, and he hit him a few more times, Zheng Changchun stopped the executioner, and gently persuaded: "Xiao Changfu, We have been fighting for half our lives, and this time, you lost! When you are about to die, just tell the truth, because of the old kindness, your mother may still leave your whole body behind."

When Xiao Changfu heard this, even the last bit of hope in his heart was shocked.He turned his head to look at the queen. Empress Wei's face was as heavy as water, and there was a chill in her eyes staring at him.

Xiao Changfu's heart was completely cold, and he felt ruthless: Anyway, he would die, so he dragged the two backs down, and they would be good companions on the road to Huangquan.

Once this idea popped up, the madness in my heart could no longer be suppressed.Xiao Changfu no longer had any scruples, he suddenly struggled and shouted in the direction of Emperor Hongyou: "Your Majesty, I know who poisoned and murdered His Highness the Crown Prince. I am willing to speak out and make meritorious deeds. I only beg the Emperor to spare my life!"

At this time, Xiao Changfu was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and his hair was disheveled and howled in a high-pitched way, almost like crazy.

Everyone in the garden was shocked by his words and broke into a cold sweat. Today is really turbulent and thrilling. First, the ghost complained, and then it was revealed that the concubine De had paid for murder. At this time, even the old case that had not been investigated for many days was uncovered. Xiao Changfu flipped out.

The case of the prince's poisoning was jointly tried by the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three divisions, plus the admiral of the Royal Horse Supervisor personally supervised the trial. From the beginning of the year to today, there is still no conclusion.Therefore, there are too many officials in the court and people in the harem involved in this incident, so many that they cannot be counted. It is still impossible to find out who secretly poisoned and wanted to murder the prince.

Now Xiao Changfu said with certainty that he knew who had poisoned him, how could it not surprise everyone present.

When he said a word, everyone in the garden fell silent, and they all stared at Xiao Changfu, wanting to hear what kind of real murderer he could say.

Xiao Changfu also went all out, since others are unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous.He has been ups and downs in the palace for many years, if he hadn't grasped a few important secrets to defend himself, he might not even be able to sleep soundly at night.He begged the queen for half a night, but the queen was not moved at all, so don't blame him for being cruel and merciless.

Xiao Changfu's eyes widened, and he scanned the garden, his eyes turned from Concubine De to Concubine Shu, and then from Concubine Shu to Empress Wei.He had been patrolling for a long time, and suddenly a strange smile appeared on his face. Xiao Changfu struggled to stand up, and stumbled forward a few steps. The flesh and blood were bloody, and every time he took a step forward, his body was in pain like pulling skin and tearing flesh.

The smeared black blood moved with Xiao Changfu's footsteps. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were in a mess. From the hem of his ripped clothes, one could clearly see the hideous and terrifying wounds on his body.

Everyone in the garden was frightened by his abnormal behavior and felt chills all over their bodies.

Xiao Changfu's eyes were piercing, his face was covered with mud and blood, his facial features could not be seen clearly, only an abnormal expression could be seen in his bright eyes.

It was an expression mixed with madness, which made Emperor Hongyou tremble all over in fright, and shouted: "Don't let him come over! Grab him, catch him!"

Just as the imperial guards were about to rush forward, they saw Xiao Changfu stop suddenly. He grinned at Emperor Hongyou, revealing his white teeth.

Emperor Hongyou made him laugh so that his back felt chilly, his hair was frizzy, and the joints of his whole body felt the cool breeze.

Xiao Changfu opened his mouth slowly, and said word by word: "I know who poisoned and murdered the prince, I know!"

While talking, Xiao Changfu's eyes turned, and then he pointed to the banquet, "The one who killed the prince is..."

Xiao Changfu raised his hand in the air, and as soon as he stretched it halfway, he was stuck in his throat by a poisonous dart shot from the woods, and before he even had time to hum, he fell to the ground and died out of breath.

Everyone was stunned, all this happened so suddenly, no one could have imagined that someone would dare to commit murder in front of the emperor in the Forbidden Palace.

Seeing Xiao Changfu fell to the ground with blood spilled all over the ground, everyone in the garden woke up.The scene was chaotic for a moment, the female family members shrieked and shivered into a ball, Emperor Hongyou even forgot to call "save him", and wanted to get under the table again.

While Chen Da sent people to escort him, he also ordered the imperial guards to seal off the imperial city, mobilize troops, search everywhere, and make sure to catch the assassin who threw the poison dart.

Empress Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Concubine Shu Gui also secretly said that it was dangerous, and Concubine De was extremely fortunate: Xiao Changfu died, and the dead man had no evidence to prove it, not only the case of Zhao Shurong, but also the case of the prince's poisoning became headless. of dumb cases.Now, she can put all the blame on Xiao Changfu as much as she can, pretend to be ignorant and pitiful, and act like a baby in front of Emperor Hongyou, so the matter can naturally be left alone.

After a while of confusion, Empress Wei got up and stopped everyone.Chen Da searched again, and came back to report that the assassin was nowhere to be found and had already run away.

Emperor Hongyou was furious and kept scolding Chen Da for being useless.

After a whole night of tossing, Emperor Hongyou was physically and mentally exhausted, he repelled Chen Da, and passed down an order: "Let's go away."

Everyone almost twisted their noses in anger.scattered?Such a big mess has not been dealt with yet, and the emperor said here that he was going to break up, so this night was not in vain. How did Zhao Shurong's case come to pass, and how should Concubine De be dealt with? Isn't everything going to end?
