The old emperor thought about turning around and looking at Princess Changle in warning, and said: "Changle, I ask you, who gave you the Tongxin Gu?"
Princess Changle's eyes were red and she said: "Father, son and minister..."
Before Princess Changle finished speaking, Princess Qing spoke angrily: "Princess Changle, if you dare to slander me, Prince Qing, I will tell you in public who the person you like is. I want to see you.
Do you still want this face?"
After she finished speaking, she stared at Princess Changle.
Princess Changle was speechless for a moment. Without saying a word, Pei Yusheng's fingers beside the old emperor involuntarily clasped.
This woman doesn't really know anything.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at Princess Qing, his eyes like those of poisonous snakes.
Pei Shu, who was beside Princess Qing, raised his head sharply and looked over, his eyes sharp and murderous.
The old emperor also saw that something was wrong with Princess Changle. Why did Changle not dare to bite Prince Qing's son as soon as Princess Qing said this? Could it be that she liked some shady person?
However, seeing everyone in front of the palace gate staring at them, the old emperor could not think deeply and ordered harshly: "Come here, pull the princess down and beat her. I want to see how hard her mouth is."
Pei Yusheng waved her hand, and the guards behind her rushed over, picked up the princess, and went to play the game.
When Princess Changle was dragged past Pei Yusheng, her eyes stared at him desperately.
Pei Yusheng didn't dare to look at her, and only looked at her to instruct her men to hit her gently and not to kill the princess.
Soon, the sound of hitting a wooden board was heard not far away, and it was loud and dull every now and then.
Pei Lin and Feng Jing looked at each other. They didn't expect that Princess Changle had such a deep affection for Pei Yusheng and would not hand over Pei Yusheng at this time.
Based on Fengjing's understanding of Princess Changle, she probably doesn't know that Pei Yusheng likes underage girls, nor does she know that she is just one of them, not the only one.
In front of the palace gate, the old emperor was upset as he listened to the sound of tapping. No matter what, Princess Changle was his beloved daughter.
When she was a child, she kept calling him "Father" like a little kitten. Now that he ordered someone to slap her in public, he felt better.
But he had to give Pei Lin and the Jin Palace an explanation.
The more the old emperor thought about it, the more he hated Pei Lin and Feng Jing. He also hated his queen mother and the Feng family. If it hadn't been for them, why would he have been forced into such a situation by Pei Lin.
The old emperor was resentful when a guard not far away ran over with a bad expression and reported: "Your Majesty, princess, she, she?"
The old emperor said angrily: "What's wrong with her?"
"Princess, she is dead."
The old emperor looked at the guard who reported the report in disbelief: "What do you think happened to the princess?"
"Your Majesty, the princess has passed away."
There was an instant silence in front of the palace gate, and everyone fell silent.
The old emperor's heart twitched, and then he turned around and looked at Pei Lin and Feng Jing in front of the palace gate: "The princess has passed away. Prince Jin and Princess Jin should go back."
Pei Lin and Feng Jing quickly looked up at Pei Yusheng beside the emperor, and saw a flash of surprise on Pei Yusheng's face. It seemed that he had ordered the guards to let go.
It's just that Princess Changle was in a bad mood recently due to a serious hand injury. She didn't eat much food and tea, which made her very weak.
How could she withstand a beating like this, so even though Pei Yusheng instructed his guards to hit her lightly, Princess Changle still couldn't hold on and was beaten to death.
In front of the palace gate, Pei Lin and Feng Jing kowtowed heavily and said heartbrokenly: "I didn't want the princess to die, I just wanted the princess to hand over the Gu master behind the scenes. Who would have thought that the princess would die to protect this person? This
Are people that important to the princess?"
The old emperor knew that the person who poisoned Princess Changle was Pei Yusheng.
However, he had never connected Pei Yusheng and Changle. Now after hearing Pei Lin's words, he couldn't help but think more about it.
When Princess Qing said she knew who Changle liked, Changle did not dare to testify against Prince Qing. Now after listening to Pei Lin's words, the old emperor suddenly looked at Pei Yusheng.
He thought about the closeness between Pei Yusheng and Chang Le. Could it be that the person Chang Le liked was Pei Yusheng.
The old emperor was horrified, but his face remained motionless as he said, "Prince Jin, please go back to the palace."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
In front of the palace gate, Pei Lin and Feng Jing supported each other and left, with Jiang Yao quickly following behind.
Prince Qing and Princess Qing were supported all the way out of the palace gate.
When the students and people saw that Princess Changle, who had harmed King Jin, was beaten to death, they stopped making trouble, and everyone followed King Jin and others and left.
The dignitaries who had come with Pei Lin and Feng Jing earlier felt uneasy when they saw this scene. The death of Princess Changle did not mean the end of the matter, but on the contrary, it was a precursor to the beginning of the killing.
All the dignitaries and ministers resigned to His Majesty and left the palace gate one after another.
With a cold face, the old emperor ordered people to carry Princess Changle's body inside.
Concubine Feng Guifei in the palace knew that her daughter had been beaten to death by the old emperor's orders, and she passed out immediately.
Empress Dowager Gao glanced at Princess Changle who had been killed in battle, feeling unspeakably cold in her heart. She looked at the old emperor with a faint look of fear.
The old emperor's anger rose in his heart. He turned around and looked at Pei Yusheng, and shouted sinisterly: "Follow me."
Without saying a word, Pei Yusheng followed the old emperor into the palace where the old emperor lived.
The old emperor waved people away, and when there was no one in the palace, he raised his hand and slapped Pei Yusheng hard.
"Are you the person Chang Le likes?"
This sentence is an affirmative sentence, not a question.
Pei Yusheng argued subconsciously: "Your Majesty, I am not a minister. I am Chang Le's uncle."
Emperor Xiaoren didn't believe what he said at all. He raised his hand and slapped Pei Yusheng again. He said sternly: "Pei Yusheng, do you want me to investigate? If I find out, not only will I not be able to spare you, but I will not be able to spare Prince An's Mansion either.
Everyone, are you sure you want me to check?"
Pei Yusheng was shocked all of a sudden, and kowtowed heavily to apologize: "I deserve to die. The princess likes me, but I have always rejected her."
The old emperor stared at Pei Yusheng with squinted eyes. Even though he had been slapped twice and his cheeks were a little swollen, he still looked beautiful.
There are many women in the capital who like him. Even the emperor would be stunned when he sees his face sometimes, let alone his own daughter.
At this moment, the old emperor believed Pei Yusheng's words and thought that his daughter liked Pei Yusheng's face.
But what the old emperor was angry about was why Pei Yusheng didn't stop his guards from hitting the board lightly, and why he beat Chang Le to death.
"Why don't you instruct your guards to hit him lightly?"
