The King of Jin hoped that the God of Prison would slap Zhang Xutang to death so that the conversation could end there.
However, even though the statue of the prison god is majestic enough, it can only cause psychological harm to Zhang Xutang, but cannot cause him any skin trauma.
He already had a vague premonition of what consequences Zhang Xutang's words would have on him.
But reason told him that he had to listen: "Go on."
His voice became deeper and deeper, appearing particularly ruthless. Because he was ruthless, he could endure any pain in the world and hone himself into the hardest stone.
You have to be such a person to be colder than that dragon chair and not be influenced by the dragon chair.
Zhang Xutang looked at King Jin with a half-smile but not a smile, and continued: "When the incident first started, Jinshang did not show up. Later, Queen Pei refused to die and the noise was too great, which might alarm the Pei family. Jinshang just
When Queen Pei showed up, she calmed down when she saw Jin Shang, stopped struggling, and drank the poisonous wine."
When he said this, his tone was almost admiring: "Queen Pei is much softer than Queen Mother Pei. However, as soon as he knew that Jin Shang was going to kill her, he knew that the matter was irreversible and decisively drank the poisonous wine. The Pei family's
Women are very neat."
When King Jin heard this, he silently picked up the scissors and went to cut the lanterns in the tung oil bowl.
The jumping firelight illuminated the room much brighter, and Zhang Xutang looked at King Jin thoughtfully - there was an evil look on King Jin's face.
He spoke again: "And..."
King Jin frowned visibly, obviously not expecting the story to end here.
Zhang Xutang smiled and said: "Originally, Queen Pei would die quickly after drinking poisonous wine, but for some reason she never died.
No one can break into the Forbidden Palace at night, but when the fourth watch comes, all the officials will start preparing to go to court. The harem is not an iron bucket, watertight, and everything will not be hidden.
If Queen Pei doesn't die, all this plan will be over.
So Jinshang became cruel and asked the imperial doctor to announce the death of Queen Pei before the fourth watch, and then put the still breathing Queen Pei into the coffin.
If you can go to the Queen's mausoleum and open the coffin, you will definitely see that the coffin lid is full of blood. Queen Pei did not die from poisoned wine, but died from being buried alive."
King Jin's expression changed drastically.
In his heart, there was an awl that pierced his heart and crucified him bit by bit.
The nameless pain spread from his heart to his backbone, causing his internal organs to convulse.
His father failed to kill his mother, so he buried her alive!
Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter turned out to be like this.
Zhang Xutang's mouth opened and closed, beginning and ending: "Everything is not in accordance with the etiquette. However, the emperor no longer cares so much. He is afraid that the courtiers will find out that he murdered the queen and will make him abdicate, so he hastily stuffed the queen into
He put it in the prepared coffin, then ran back to Wende Hall and left all the subsequent matters to the Zhang family."
What happened after that was not only his father's doing, he was also doing it, killing the imperial doctor, Lian Rong's palace servants, people in Queen Pei's palace, and the chamberlain who followed me that night, Liao Zi.
Countless human lives filled up Jinshang's doubts, and Jinshang was finally satisfied, thinking that the court was completely in his hands.
The Zhang family were his great heroes and loyal ministers, so they turned a blind eye to the Zhang family's methods of dealing with the King of Jin, and were even vaguely happy to see the results - the King of Jin had already shown that at a young age
Because of his intelligence, he was worried that King Jin would discover the truth sooner or later if he stayed in Kyoto.
He even drove the King of Jin to Tanzhou. It was not until he realized that the Zhang family was powerful and out of his control that he recruited the King of Jin back again to "suppress the strong and support the weak."
Zhang Xutang finished speaking.
King Jin mobilized his strength and stood up amidst the overwhelming suffocation. He used his last bit of strength to maintain his sanity and let the jailer send Zhang Xutang back to the cell.
Zhang Xutang walked past Prince Jin. When he came to Prince Jin, he whispered: "Your Majesty, I'll wait for you to come again."
After that, he laughed, supported the prisoner's hand, and walked out of the Hell Temple.
King Jin walked out of the punishment department in silence, got on the carriage, and did not let Huang Ting light the lights. He sat in the carriage and closed his eyes in despair.
Jinshang - turns out to be Jinshang.
He thought that he was just stupid now, but he didn't expect that he was not even stupid now, but was weak and cruel.
Mother, wife, and son, in Jin Shang's eyes, are all embellishments on his palace.
He sat slumped for a long time, and the congestion in his chest became more and more serious. He let out a deep breath, tore the hem of his clothes hard, stretched out his hand to open the car curtain: "Huang Ting, go to the Song family!"
Huang Ting responded and the carriage drove towards the Song family.
The lights in the Song family were extinguished and it was very quiet. The carriage stopped. Huang Ting asked King Jin if he wanted to knock on the door. King Jin shook his head and leaned in the carriage without saying anything.
The atmosphere in the carriage became heavier and heavier. Huang Ting gently opened a corner of the curtain and moved the lantern forward. By the light of the fire, he found that King Jin had his eyes closed and looked like he was sleeping.
As soon as the firelight shone, King Jin's hands and feet moved slightly, and Huang Ting quickly retreated.
Song Huiyue in the room did not fall asleep. She was still looking at the map of Gyeonggi Province. She focused her eyes outside the city and thought carefully about the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
The sound of the carriage arriving was particularly loud at night. She waited for a long time, but there was no sound of knocking on the door or the sound of the carriage leaving. So she got dressed, put on her slip-on shoes, lit a lantern and left the room.
Occasionally, Mrs. Song coughed in the house. Without disturbing anyone, she flipped the door latch, pushed it open a crack, and took a look outside.
Seeing that it was Prince Jin's carriage, she blew out the lantern and walked out, looking at Huang Ting: "Is the prince inside?"
Huang Ting quickly opened the curtain and let Song Huiyue in: "The prince is probably too tired and fell asleep."
Hearing Song Huiyue's voice, King Jin had already opened his eyes and waved to her tiredly: "Come here."
Song Huiyue boarded the carriage and soon discovered that King Jin was in high fever.
"Huang Duzhi, go back to the palace quickly and ask for the imperial doctor." Song Huiyue shouted outside and put her hand down from Prince Jin's forehead.
In a short period of time, King Jin was reduced to a piece of coal, just burning for no reason.
When Empress Dowager Pei died, he was burned like this. Empress Pei was burned to death once, and it never happened like this again. Now it is like this again, just burned, her face was pale and even her mind was confused.
Lying on the bed, he held Song Huiyue's hand tightly, but there was a cold dream in his mind.
In the dream, it was a starry moonlit night, the stars were shining brightly, and the moonlight was like water. He was standing in the water, and the water was rising, but it was rising very quickly, and it had already reached the top of his feet.
The moonlight illuminated the splendid palace, which became so tall that it seemed like an unknown temple. Everything inside was cold and damp, and the gauze curtains hung heavily and were soaked in the stagnant water.
Today, he appears behind the veil. His face is unusually white, and only his lips are bright red. He seems to be sucking blood for a living and is integrating with the palace.
The water continued to rise, rising above King Jin's calves, over his abdomen, and climbed up to his heart, submerging the soft and sincere part of his heart, making him completely cold and hard. The water continued to rise, and finally submerged
