Ximen Hao straightened up with satisfaction, curled his lips and said, "Let everyone listen."
"Go back to the emperor, go back to the prince," Chen Fu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "The servant made those peonies while he was out of the palace to do business. When the birthday gift of the Bei Palace was placed in Jinhua Garden, he took the opportunity to change it.
, Actually, the birthday gift prepared by the Beiwang Mansion for the Queen Mother is a wooden Buddha statue."
When Chen Fu said this, he had to analyze Ximen Hao's previous words. He could not say that the birthday gift was not prepared by Su Ranhua, but that the Beiwang Mansion had prepared it and placed it in Jinhuayuan first. He was afraid that what he said would not be in line with Ximen Hao's wishes.
, making your situation more dangerous.
"Why do you want to change the birthday gift?" Ximen Xianchu asked. In fact, he no longer wanted to continue the case. It was obvious that if he continued to ask, he would reveal the Queen's affair and stage a mother-son confrontation. He did not punish him enough to want to punish him.
Such a person can only let the courtiers and family members watch a royal joke.
However, now that the matter has come to this, he has to ask. He wants to resolve the matter immediately, and even if he is pretending, he has to pretend.
"I was once criticized by King Bei in the Prince's Mansion because of Princess Bei. I couldn't bear it, so I took the opportunity to frame Princess Bei. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Chen Fu said, kowtowing repeatedly, even if he wanted to.
After giving a reason, he took the whole matter on himself and expected the queen to say a few good words for him because he was strict with his words and protected the Lord. It was better than both him and the queen losing both sides.
"It turns out it was your crooked idea as a slave." Ximen Hao's voice was very slow, but it carried a murderous intention. Everyone present could feel it, and King Bei would not let this matter go by.
"You are so bold as a slave. Your Majesty, I will take Chen Fu to Jinhuayuan and deal with it severely!" Bai Zhanfeng said quickly. Now that the matter has come to this, the only thing she can do is to prevent Chen Fu from falling into Ximen Hao's trap.
hand.
"Mother, you are wrong. This matter is not only a matter of Jinhuayuan, but also affects the safety of the Queen Mother. Therefore, Chen Fu must be convicted of assassinating the Queen Mother in accordance with the law and sentenced to death." Ximen Hao took out the previous article about the Queen Mother.
Regarding Su Ranhua's remarks, Ximen Xianchu asked.
"You -" Bai Zhanfeng looked directly at Ximen Hao, and saw in his eyes that he was determined to do his part. He was not only targeting Chen Fu at this time, but the master behind Chen Fu, her mother!
Ximen Hao glanced at Bai Zhanfeng, and it was all because of her pressing forward that things got to this point. She blatantly designed Su Ranhua in front of Bai Yiyi, so she should have expected that there would be no good results.
Today's birthday banquet, in order to make the decision for Su Ranhua, to dispel the queen's arrogance against Su Ranhua, and for the frightened queen mother, someone must pay the price and serve as a warning.
"Father, Chen Fu acted boldly and took advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet to cause trouble. He is guilty of serious crimes and must be severely punished as a warning to others!" Ximen Hao said to Ximen Xianchu with a righteous and upright speech.
"Please, Your Majesty, be gracious and hand Chen Fu over to my concubine. Chen Fu has been with me for many years. Although he has no merit, he has worked diligently and hard. Please let me make my own decision." Bai Zhanfeng pleaded.
"Father, this matter must not be tolerated, otherwise someone will continue to do such sloppy things and disrupt the peace of the court." Ximen Hao said, and glanced at Su Ranqing behind him.
At that time, she stood there like a puppet, at a loss.
"King Bei's words make sense." Ximen Xianchu glanced at Su Ranqing and glanced at everyone. Today's events have made everyone see a joke. The best way to clean up the mess and establish dignity is to
In this incident, the scapegoat was severely punished and warned the officials.
"Chen Fu framed Princess Bei, had no master, and disturbed the Queen Mother, which is like an assassination. According to the laws of our court, both crimes will be punished and sentenced to death. Tomorrow at noon, the palace will be unveiled to the public outside the east gate of the palace." Ximen Xianchu's golden words resounded everywhere
The entire Chumin Palace was horrifying.
"Your Majesty!" Bai Zhanfeng shouted in despair. She did not expect that the meeting with Chen Fu would end in Ling Chi. She originally thought that even if Ximen Hao knew that she was deliberately dealing with Su Ranhua, he should give in. Seeing that she was
For his mother's sake, he won't make things too difficult for Jinhuayuan.
Unexpectedly, Ximen Hao pressed hard and urged the emperor to sentence Chen Fu to death. He was not punishing Chen Fu. He was clearly cutting off his mother's flesh. Who didn't know that Chen Fu had served the queen for many years and was like an arm to her?
, worked for her loyally, and without Chen Fu, she was missing one of her most capable assistants, which made her feel very sad.
Ximen Hao's sharp gaze shot at Bai Zhanfeng, reminding her that everything was her own fault, and making Chen Fu the scapegoat was a sign of showing mercy to her out of the affection between mother and son. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as just punishing Chen Fu.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" After hearing Ximen Xianchu's words, Chen Fu turned pale with fright. He crawled forward on his knees, saving Ximen Hao's legs, and kept begging for mercy. "Your Majesty, this servant has confessed. Please tell me, Your Majesty."
Your Majesty, please forgive me and spare my slave’s life. Please, Your Majesty!”
"Did I say that you will be spared death if you confess?" Ximen Hao said coldly, gently raised his leg and kicked Chen Fu aside.
Chen Fu was stunned. It is true that Ximen Hao didn't say that. He only said that there is a difference between admitting it and asking him to tell it. But how big is the difference? Isn't it the difference between life and death?
"A slave framed the princess, do you think you have a chance of survival?" Ximen Hao glanced at the pale Chen Fu and snorted coldly.
"Empress, Empress, please say something for me!" Chen Fu felt disappointed from Ximen Hao and could only turn to Bai Zhanfeng. He took on everything by himself and did not say anything wrong to the Queen.
Bai Zhanfeng looked at Ximen Xianchu and bit her lip in silence. Over the years, she had already become familiar with Ximen Xianchu's ways of doing things. As long as he said something golden, there would be no room for relaxation. If he spoke too much, he would have no choice but to be punished.
"Empress, my servant is trying my best to protect you!" Chen Fu cried out in pain when Bai Zhanfeng ignored him.
Bai Zhanfeng's expression changed and she glared at Chen Fu. If this slave had no hope of rescuing him, he would definitely tell everything about him. Chen Fu didn't say anything. Although everyone was suspicious of what she did today, there was no evidence. If Chen Fu revealed it,
, it would be difficult for her to escape. Even if the emperor wanted to protect her, he would have to give an explanation in front of the ministers.
Snapped!
The slight sound came from Chen Fu's chin. Before anyone could see Ximen Hao's move clearly, Chen Fu's chin was pulled off. His mouth was wide open, unable to close it, and unable to say a word.
"Father, for the sake of Chen Fu's own confession, ten strikes from Ling Chi will be enough. Please give me permission," Ximen Hao asked Ximen Xianchu.
Although he was pleading for Chen Fu, everyone was shocked when they heard that Ling Chi had cut his flesh and bones with ten cuts. Although the number of cuts was less, it was still horrific. Ten cuts was a favor compared to a hundred cuts, and it was a subordinate.
Mercy, but for the prisoner, there is no essential difference. It is just that after the painful death, he received a few fewer stabs, and on the way to hell, he left a few more pieces of flesh on his body.
