Jin Xin frowned and looked at Concubine Yu, trying to move forward no matter the situation. At this time, she didn't want to protect herself but wanted to plead for mercy. Is Gao Mingyao regretting sending her to the palace to do things for him?
She was lucky enough to be favored by the emperor, but with such a brain in this cannibal harem, once she lost the emperor's favor, her fate would not be good.
The emperor was furious at this moment and stared at Concubine Jade. If she dared to say another word, the emperor would definitely not care about her affection.
Concubine Jade was also completely shocked. It was the first time she saw the emperor who was always gentle to her. At this moment, her eyes turned red with anger, as if she wanted to kill herself.
She swallowed her saliva and tried to make the emperor not look at her like this. She said nervously, "Your Majesty..."
"If you say one more word, I will decree that you will be imprisoned in the cold palace!" He said coldly, seemingly calmer, but there was no warmth in his eyes.
Concubine Yu's body went limp and she almost lost her balance. It was the palace maid next to her who supported her.
But the emperor no longer treated her as tenderly as before. Instead, he withdrew his gaze without any nostalgia and looked at the concubine on the ground. He took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Who arranged this tonight?" everything."
Yue Concubine had just given birth and her body was weak. The emperor was questioning her now. She already knew her future, but she was just crying. She didn't know what to do and had no idea at all.
Jin Xin held the child in her arms and said to Yue Bin, "This child almost died just now. Is this your child? Did you ever take a look at it after it was born?"
As he said this, he was asked to hold her up to Yue Bin, but Yue Bin resisted and hid away, not daring to look at her at all.
When the baby was born, Po Wen whispered that it was a daughter. She felt as if her whole belly went cold to her heart. During the pregnancy, she knew it was probably a daughter, but how could she accept it? boy.
All kinds of methods have been tried. The imperial doctor always said it was a daughter and asked her to raise her with peace of mind. Concubine Yu repeatedly ridiculed her that her belly was useless. She had long hated this child, and her brother had arranged everything for her. As long as she When he is born, he will be a boy.
So after birth, the child didn't cry, and Mrs. Wen didn't let the child make a sound. She just wanted to successfully replace the boy.
So she felt guilty and thought it was a stillbirth, so she couldn't face the child.
Lianrong held it and showed it to her, but she refused to look. She trembled and shrank, not daring to take a look at it. "Take it away. I don't want to see it. Take it away quickly."
The emperor became even more angry when he saw this scene. He suppressed his anger and tried not to lose his composure. He gritted his teeth and said, "Lock her up."
Then he turned around and came out. Seeing Gu Zhao still waiting for instructions in front of the palace, the emperor said, "Bring those things to me here. I want to hear their confession with my own ears."
Gu Zhao responded with a yes and clapped his hands, and then the people outside the palace were escorted in. They were tied up and had many wounds on their hands and bodies. They had been executed, and each of them had a piece of cloth stuffed in their mouth, whimpering. With.
Wen Po, who was delivering the baby, was also restrained and thrown on the floor. They all started crying. Gu Zhao scolded her, "Shut up, everyone. If you speak again, if you dare to make any noise, I'll cut off one of your fingers!"
Gu Zhao's words silenced them all, and they did not dare to make any more noise.
Then, the emperor pointed at Po Wen and said, "If she says anything false, cut off one of her fingers."
Gu Zhao roughly pulled off the cloth from Po Wen's mouth. Po Wen immediately kowtowed and said repeatedly, "This matter was not done voluntarily by the women. Someone threatened the lives of the women and their whole family and asked the women to enter the palace to do it for him." The concubine will deliver the baby, and then they will arrange for someone to send a boy in, and let the civilian woman hold the child to the emperor to answer the question. The civilian woman will not know anything else."
After the emperor listened, his face was cold, but he didn't speak. His eyes were very scary, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Then, he looked at the woman who gave the child away and asked her to tell her what happened.
After the first person opened his mouth, the people behind him all thought about confessing and striving for a lenient outcome.
"There was a man who gave me a large sum of money and asked his slave to take his children into the palace and send them to the Ronghua Palace. I don't know who this man was. He wore a bamboo hat and covered his face. He just asked the slave to do his job. Promise your slave to give her five hundred taels before sending her out of the palace." The mother-in-law replied nervously.
This mother-in-law was sent to the cold palace before. Life in the cold palace was difficult. No wonder she dared to take risks to do such a thing.
Once it was done, with her master's handle in her hand, she thought she would be prosperous.
But once this happens, everyone involved in this matter today will be killed to keep the secret.
Gao Mingyao was so ambitious. Jin Xin looked at the emperor's face, which was as dark as ink, murderous and full of hostility. She was afraid that she would be settled by the emperor afterwards.
The emperor held his eyebrows with one hand, no longer wanting to ask any more questions. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Take him down, interrogate him and get his confession, and then hand it over."
Then, he seemed to have adjusted his mood, raised his head again, and said, "Come here, heavy troops will surround Earl Weiyuan's Mansion. No entry or exit is allowed. Anyone who violates the rules will be killed on the spot!"
Once the truth is established, he will show no mercy.
Hearing this, Concubine Yu didn't care too much. She stepped forward and knelt softly at the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, General Gao did it before the matter was determined. You should listen to his explanation."
The emperor turned his head lightly and stared down at his jade concubine with a high attitude. If he didn't know what she was thinking, then he would be really stupid.
She mentioned Gao Mingyao many times in her mouth. At first, he thought it was because of his youth, but at this moment, he suddenly sneered and looked at Concubine Yu with hurt eyes, "Then why don't you explain, Concubine Yu, what is General Gao doing?" Is Shen involved in this matter?"
Concubine Jade was stunned when she heard the words. She looked at the emperor's sarcastic eyes, full of sarcasm and hatred, and knew that he had determined the answer in his heart. If she spoke any more, she would be executed.
However, she could not watch the emperor execute Gao Mingyao.
"emperor……"
"I will not execute General Gao, Concubine Yu can rest assured." He raised his head, unwilling to look at her again.
When Concubine Yu heard this, she lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief even though she felt guilty.
At this time, Jin Xin looked at Imperial Physician Liang who was standing aside, sweating profusely, and asked, "Doctor Liang, do you know anything about what happened tonight?"
When Dr. Liang heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "Wei Chen doesn't know this. Wei Chen was outside the palace instructing Wen Po on how to use medicine and did not participate in what happened tonight."
The emperor looked at him coldly and looked at Royal Doctor Liang with a sharp and murderous look, "Not only are your medical skills poor, but your loyalty is unknown."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Liang hurriedly knelt down and was about to plead for mercy. At this moment, Huang Wanshun took out a land deed and whispered, "Your Majesty, this is a mansion purchased by Imperial Physician Liang on Dongzheng Street outside the palace. Worth a thousand pieces of gold.”
When the emperor heard this, he actually laughed angrily.
