Concubine Wu was in a state of confusion at the moment.
She thought that Qin Zhao was bound to die, so she decided to kill Qin Zhao. After killing Qin Zhao, it was easy to send him away from the East Palace. She could just put a charge of committing suicide out of fear of crime on Qin Zhao's head.
What she didn't expect was that Qin Zhao was so stubborn that he was rescued by Xiao Ce at the critical moment and even made trouble in front of the emperor.
"Concubine, I was instigated by Wang Zhaoxun. Wang Zhaoxun said that Qin Liangdi was disrespectful to me, and even more disrespectful to the emperor. I got angry and got angry. Your Majesty, I didn't do it on purpose..."
Wang Zhaoxun happened to be escorted in. When he heard Concubine Wu's words, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "The concubine is lying! It was the concubine who brought me to Jinyang Palace and threatened me. If I don't cooperate with the concubine, I will be harmed."
Qin Liangdi, the imperial concubine has killed me! I was forced to have no choice but to make a fool of myself with the imperial concubine!"
Concubine Wu did not change her expression after hearing this and decided to bite Wang Zhaoxun to death: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhaoxun is throwing dirty water on me. I was bewitched by Wang Zhaoxun, and I am unjustly accused!"
Qin Zhao felt very happy when he saw Concubine Wu and Wang Zhao training dogs to bite dogs.
This is what she's been waiting for.
As long as Wang Zhaoxun wants to live, he will definitely bite Concubine Wu to death and reveal many things about Concubine Wu. Next, it depends on how the emperor treats Concubine Wu.
If they were concubines in the harem, the emperor might just turn a blind eye, or make big things into trivial matters and trivial matters into nothing.
But now it concerns Xiao Ce, the crown prince. If Xiao Ce doesn't want to be kind, Concubine Wu will have no chance of escaping from this matter.
Understanding this, Qin Zhao stopped talking. She stood obediently next to Xiao Ce, acting like a pitiful victim.
Here Wu Guifei and Wang Zhaoxun dog bite dogs, the two women's sharp voices can be heard in the room.
The emperor's brows furrowed more and more as he listened, and he shouted coldly: "Shut up, everyone!"
Only then did Concubine Wu and Wang Zhaoxun remember that this was the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, and they were not allowed to act arrogantly in front of the emperor.
The emperor looked at Xiao Ce and asked, "Prince, what do you think?"
"My minister thought that all the truth could be found out by severely punishing these servants. The crime they committed this time was related to the East Palace and was enough to destroy the nine tribes!" Xiao Ce looked coldly at the slaves kneeling on the ground.
and.
As soon as they heard the words "annihilate the nine tribes", everyone was frightened. At that moment, a slave crawled out and confessed: "It was indeed the imperial concubine who called Wang Zhaoxun to Jinyang Palace that day, and the other slaves didn't know anything about it."
"If we don't use severe punishment on the attendants around the imperial concubine, they will definitely tell the truth." Xiao Ce said quietly, his eyes finally fixed on Grandma Zhang's face.
"Your Highness, this is the nun who wants to hang me alive on a tree." Qin Zhao's voice trembled a little when he said this.
How can Nanny Zhang stand still at this moment?
She knelt down on the ground and was about to do all the moves when Concubine Wu said coldly: "Mother Zhang, you have told everything you know. There is no need to hide it."
"Yes, there is no need to hide anything. The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty. If someone wants to touch Gu's people, they have to pay the price. No matter who the other party is, they must be answered by Gu!" Xiao Ce's voice seemed to have been quenched from poison.
Word by word passed into the ears of Concubine Wu and Aunt Zhang.
Grandma Zhang was lying on the ground trembling slightly, not knowing what to do.
Qin Zhao saw that Nanny Zhang was scared, so he interjected: "I thought that I would be lenient if I confessed, and strict if I resisted. Nanny Zhang can just tell the truth. You must know that this is in front of the emperor. Bullying the emperor is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes."
."
She was kind and powerful at the same time, how could there be any truth that Grandma Zhang could not understand?
At that moment, she told everything she knew, including the fact that Concubine Wu told her to kill Qin Zhao in Jinyang Palace.
Aunt Zhang knew a lot of things. When she revealed everything she knew, how could the emperor still not understand?
It was clear that Concubine Wu couldn't tolerate Qin Zhao, so she came up with such a vicious plan. At first, she wanted to bring Qin Zhao into Jinyang Palace to humiliate her, but later because of Wang Zhaoxun's sudden words, she changed her decision on the spur of the moment and killed Qin Zhao.
"This old pious woman is lying, Your Majesty, this is not true, Your Majesty..." Seeing that something was wrong, Concubine Wu quickly cried out for injustice.
The emperor sighed softly: "My concubine, you disappoint me so much."
Qin Zhao is still a member of the East Palace after all. The prince ran to the emperor to seek justice. How could he forgive the imperial concubine?
"I believe that this matter is of a very bad nature. If my father does not punish me severely, it will only make the world think that Da Qi belongs to Concubine Wu. I beg my father to grant Concubine Wu a foot of white ribs!" Xiao Ce said,
Kneel down in front of the emperor.
Concubine Wu's face changed slightly. She could no longer stand now and knelt down in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. But isn't Qin Liangdi doing well now..."
"If Gu hadn't arrived at the scene in time, Qin Liangdi would have disappeared. Can Concubine Wu wipe out her own sins by simply saying "Qin Liangdi is good"?!" Xiao Ce interrupted Wu Guifei's quibbles in a cold voice.
Concubine Wu crawled to the emperor's feet and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I really know my mistake. I have served the emperor for so many years and I have tried my best. I regard the emperor as my heaven and earth. I am not."
I can’t bear to give up my own life, but I can’t bear to give up on the emperor..."
After hearing this last sentence, the emperor's stern expression relaxed.
When Qin Zhao saw this change in details, he knew that Concubine Wu would save her life this time.
If Concubine Wu is not involved this time, when the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, the Empress Dowager will pamper Concubine Wu again, and Concubine Wu will be able to make trouble again?
Thinking of this, Qin Zhao darkened his eyebrows and also played a bitter trick: "Your Highness, forget it, it's just my bad luck. It's a blessing that I can escape death this time. I'm leaving.
I have nothing to ask for, I just want to have the opportunity to serve His Highness in the future..."
This reminded Xiao Ce of the scene he just saw in Magnolia Grande.
Just a little bit away, Qin Zhao was almost gone. If he hadn't arrived in time, Qin Zhao's cold corpse would have been waiting for him.
This matter must not be left alone!
"I sincerely ask my father to give me justice. The imperial concubine's methods this time are extremely cruel. If my father allows my concubine to do evil, how can my father silence the public in the world? Is it possible for the world to call my father a coward?
?!"
As soon as Xiao Ce said this, the faces of everyone present changed dramatically, including the emperor.
The emperor looked at Xiao Ce with cold eyes and shouted sternly: "How presumptuous!!"
"The king is the king of the people in the world. If you want the people of the world to surrender, you must convince them with virtue. My father is not only a good father in the eyes of his children, but also a good king. The children and ministers cannot bear to see their father in danger in his final days.
…”
Seeing that Xiao Ce's words were getting more and more outrageous, Qin Zhao was also frightened and hurriedly pulled Xiao Ce's sleeves to signal him to stop talking.
