554. Chapter 554 Demoting officials and cutting power 1
However, even if Liu Rong was afraid, he would not want to see the concubine who finally gave birth to a dragon son for the emperor, who was beheaded. He smiled and advised: "But, the emperor, this matter is a bit strange. Concubine Shu was still giving birth to the emperor.
The next prince…”
Liu Rong wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Xiao Heng glanced coldly, which scared Liu Rong to silence and did not dare to speak nonsense. He could only watch Concubine Shu accompany King Xuanwu to sacrifice her life.
Before his death, Shufei didn't understand why she was convicted of being sexually abusive and accomplice with King Xuanwu. She cried loudly that she was wronged, but failed to arouse Xiao Heng's mercy and was dragged to prison.
He was executed with Xiao Zhao!
When the news reached the Luoyang Palace, Wei Zijin was having a meal with Xiao Jingyao.
They had long known that the ministers asked Xiao Heng to execute Xiao Zhao, and they had long been determined by Xiao Zhao's ending, but they did not expect that Xiao Zhao's death would also involve the Concubine Shu in the harem!
Wei Zijin knew about Concubine Shu... Concubine Shu was early in the palace and was favored by Xiao Heng for a while. Later, she gave birth to a dragon son for Xiao Heng and was very glorious in the harem!
But Concubine Shu is a weak-minded woman. Although she was very glorious because of her birth, she was not as domineering as Concubine Duan, and she had no power behind her parents' support!
The dragon son she gave birth to was not valued by Xiao Heng, and there was no great threat in the palace. If Xiao Heng deliberately used Xiao Zhao's death to eliminate Concubine Shu, she would not believe it!
Concubine Shu would never have the courage to have sex with King Xuanwu Xiao Zhao. Although Xiao Zhao was lustful, he would not extend his wolf claws to Xiao Heng's harem. So who was taking this opportunity to frame Concubine Shu?!
Seeing her staring at her, Xiao Jingyao put down her chopsticks and asked with concern: "Are you still thinking about Concubine Shu?"
Wei Zijin nodded and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that there have been people in the harem hiding behind the scenes. Originally, I thought that Concubine Duan relied on her position to do whatever she wanted in the harem and make trouble. Now I realize that
I seem to have miscalculated..."
"Lu Ziliang has been suspended, and Concubine Duan has fallen out of favor. Even if the Lu family is still in power, Concubine Duan cannot deliberately frame Concubine Shu in the forefront!" Xiao Jingyao said this, his brows frowned slightly.
He was not willing to care about the concubines in Xiao Heng's harem, but those concubines were not related to A Jing's death back then!
Although Xiao Heng wanted to suppress the Li family at the beginning, Ajing and the Li family were framed, so there were concubines in the harem who were secretly making trouble?!
He kept pointing his finger at the Lu family because he believed that the accomplices who killed Ajing were Concubine Duan and the Lu family!
Now that he heard her say this, he began to rethink all this. Perhaps some of the things he saw on the surface were not what they thought!
"Do you suspect that the one who murdered you behind the scenes was not Duan Concubine, but someone else?" Xiao Jingyao asked in a deep voice, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
If this is true, he must find out who was planning all this behind his back, because this person is more dangerous than Concubine Duan!
"Maybe Duan is just a chess piece, and the one who really planned everything has been hiding behind his back..." Wei Zijin said quietly, for the first time, it turned out that he thought he was the queen and could control everything. How ridiculous it was to be in the harem that he thought he was the queen and could control everything.
!
It is easy to avoid open guns, but it is difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Who is controlling all this behind the scenes?!
