Chapter 374 I don’t know whether I will live or die!
Seeing that her son could not persuade her, Concubine Shu took the initiative to come to Concubine Xian and kneel down to show her sincerity.
Not only that, he even took out a hairpin and cut his own face directly in front of Concubine Xian to show his determination!
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Concubine Xian's aloof face.
"Why did my sister, Concubine Shu, hurt herself like this? I understand your thoughts and your loyalty."
Concubine Shu kowtowed and said, "Thank you so much, Concubine Xian! Thank you so much, Concubine Xian!"
After she was led down, Concubine Xian was in a very good mood.
Mammy said: "This concubine is really aware of current affairs. She also knows that she can't defeat the empress, so she came here early to curry favor with her!"
Concubine Xian sneered, "She has always been like this. In the early years, she relied on flattering the queen to get to this point. But she came from a small family and only had that little knowledge and courage.
She really thinks that I and Li'er will deal with her, and she doesn't even look at how much she weighs, is she worthy?"
The Xiao family is a third-rate family and has nothing to offer at all. If anything, it is the in-laws of Princess Kanghua.
But now that Princess Kanghua has secretly taken refuge with her son, what is left for the Xiao family?
To deal with them? That's really unnecessary.
The only people she can truly consider as her opponents are the queen and the concubines.
But let’s not talk about the fact that the queen died at the hands of that little maid Qin Sisi.
But Concubine De, a lowly maid, sent someone to tease her in private after she fell into the cold palace. Moreover, Concubine De was always aloof because she was born in Lin'an Palace, and she never treated her hypocritically.
In addition, there is Concubine De who is very scheming and resourceful. If it weren’t for the support of her mother, what would Prince Rong be like?
Getting rid of her is the key point.
As for Concubine Shu, she really doesn’t have that weight.
Of course, she really wanted to show Concubine Shu something awesome, but before she could do it, she came over to apologize and even scratched her face.
I really couldn't bear to put in the effort at that moment, and my whole face was ruined.
Now that the virtuous concubine is based in the harem, of course she must show her magnanimity, but there is no need to kill them all.
"However, Li'er's matter was handled in a bit of a hurry." Concubine Xian said with a frown.
Although she also wanted to execute De Fei, her old rival, she did it too quickly and without any cover.
"In this case, Prince Rong and the An family may have to completely break up with the prince." Mammy said in a low voice.
Although Concubine Xian felt it was inappropriate, she was relieved and said: "Since we have done this, let's get rid of the root cause!"
But before King Li could take advantage of the victory to pursue him, King Rong was brutally assassinated. It is said that he was seriously injured after escaping and fell off a cliff. His whereabouts are unknown, and his life or death is unknown!
When the news reached King Li's ears, King Li was stunned for a moment, "Seriously? Isn't it a trick he made up and invented by himself?"
"Your Majesty, this matter is probably not a trick concocted by Prince Rong himself. Our people just happened to witness it with our own eyes. It was a very dangerous assassination. A knife was slashed from Prince Rong's chest, and the wound was almost fatal.
He died, and An Lan of the An family fought tooth and nail to protect him, and then escorted him away. An Lan was assassinated on the spot!" the subordinate reported.
King Li couldn't help but feel irritated and angry in his chest, "Who did this? They clearly want to frame this king!"
After getting rid of Concubine An, he really wanted to eradicate King Rong, but he had already started to use poison!
He has even arranged the most ugly way to die for King Rong!
Doesn't he like to play with married women? Then let him be allowed to die violently in the end.
This plan was so seamless that no one would doubt him.
As a result, at this time, someone suddenly killed King Rong!
This is simply like mud falling into your crotch, it’s either shit or shit!
Sure enough, after the news spread, the entire capital exploded and boiled.
At the feet of the Emperor, in the city of Bianjing, the dignified prince was assassinated!
In the dignified Earl's Mansion, An Lan, who was once famous in the capital, left to protect King Rong and was killed on the spot!
This was not over yet, King Rong escaped from the capital in embarrassment and was forced into a desperate situation and fell off a cliff!
Is there any royal law for this?
General Zheng from the Zheng family was not afraid of life and death and directly questioned King Li in the court the next day!
"I dare to ask His Highness Prince Li, but do you know that His Highness Prince Rong was assassinated and fell off a cliff without knowing whether he was alive or dead?"
King Li suppressed the anger in his heart and stared at him: "What do you mean? Do you still think it was me who did it!"
"I don't dare. I just express my doubts. What kind of status is His Highness Prince Rong that one day he will be assassinated by a group of assassins in broad daylight in the capital, and finally be forced to ride away from the capital!" Old General Zheng said in a deep voice.
road.
As the son-in-law of Prince Rong, it was only natural for General Zheng to stand up and question him.
"I think back when the former prince was regent, nothing like this had ever happened!"
"When the prince was regent, the whole court was in harmony. How could such a thing have happened before? What kind of chaos is it now in both the government and the public?"
"Who says it isn't?"
"The dignified prince was assassinated at the feet of the emperor in the capital. This is simply a sign of chaos in the imperial court!
"..."
And the other courtiers were all whispering among themselves and discussing this matter. It was really a big fuss!
Of course, King Li had already expected the reaction of the group of courtiers in the court: "What General Zheng said is that I am also very curious, so I specially ordered someone to conduct a thorough investigation. Only then did I find out that King Rong
This turned out to be a murder of love!"
"Kill in love? Don't His Highness Prince Li think that is too far-fetched?" Old General Zheng sneered.
"Since Old General Zheng insists on breaking the casserole and getting to the bottom of the matter, then I don't care about covering up the shame of Prince Rong!" King Li glanced at him coldly: "Come here, tell the courtiers all the information that has been thoroughly investigated.
, look at what Prince Rong has done in private!"
So all the things about King Rong secretly flirting with married women were exposed.
Among them was the one that happened last year. It was said that the eldest wife of Gu Shangshu Mansion, Hong, had an affair with Prince Rong in Muen Temple and was caught by the eldest son of Gu.
At that time, many people followed and caught the rapist, and they saw it with their own eyes.
Everyone looked at Gu Shangshu. Gu Shangshu just wanted to cut the prostitute into pieces with a thousand knives.
But he still stood up and said that he didn't know about it.
But just because he doesn't know doesn't mean he doesn't know. In fact, who doesn't know anything about this matter? It has already spread among the elite circles privately, right?
However, everyone didn't know that besides Hong's concubine, Prince Rong also seduced so many people outside.
"You often walk by the river and your shoes don't get wet. King Rong did such a thing that brought shame to the royal family. I don't even bother to call him brother. But no matter what, he is also a prince. Even if he is wrong, he can't use this.
If you find a way to punish him, this king will still investigate this matter thoroughly!" King Li concluded the matter indifferently.
