Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter give death!
For the crime of regicide, the nine clans must be punished.
The moment she saw Emperor Chen, when Zi Zhu crashed to death in front of her, and when Emperor Chen looked at her with eyes full of sadness and disappointment, Concubine Tang Hui realized that King Duan was finished, the Tang family was finished, and she
It's over too.
Emperor Chen didn't say another word. He just took a deep look at Concubine Tang Hui, closed his eyes, and said: "Go back to Yangyang Temple..."
He no longer had to ask Concubine Tang Hui anything. In fact, after knowing that she was poisoned, he already had a guess in his mind.
If he dies at this time, Prince Duan and Concubine Tang Hui will be the ones who will benefit the most. One of them will become the emperor and the other will become the queen mother. As long as he is the biggest stumbling block, they can get everything they want.
.
He asked Tangning to investigate because he just wanted to confirm his suspicions.
However, even though he had already guessed, when he heard with his own ears and saw with his own eyes that his beloved concubine wanted to let him die early, a sad feeling inevitably arose in his heart.
Tang Ning was standing next to Emperor Chen. He could clearly see the panic and helpless expression on the face of Concubine Tang Hui, who was once aloof and arrogant, when she collapsed to the ground.
Only an hour has passed since Huang Chen asked him to thoroughly investigate the case. An hour ago, she was still the superior Concubine Tang Hui. An hour later, she was about to face an ending with no second possibility.
If a concubine in the harem kills the king, she should be punished for her crime.
According to blood relationship, Tang Ning should call her aunt. However, the relationship between him and the Tang family had been completely severed that winter more than 20 years ago, and on that rainy night four years ago.
He glanced at Concubine Tang Hui and left after Emperor Chen.
The imperial guards had already rushed forward to control Concubine Tang Hui. When someone picked up Zi Zhu's body, they were shocked and said: "She is still angry!"
A guard leader stepped forward and said solemnly: "Take her down first and wait for His Majesty to deal with her!"
Before Tang Ning could walk far, she naturally heard the movement behind her.
The palace maid is still alive, just as he expected. For a weak woman like her, it is not an easy thing to hit herself to death on a wooden pillar. In fact, this is indeed something only a master can do.
things to do.
When she wakes up and explains everything that Concubine Tang Hui has done, the farce of the concubine regicide will be over.
Tang Ning didn't sympathize with Concubine Tang Hui, but linking this incident from beginning to end gave him a warning sign.
Whether it was Tang Huifei's conspiracy that was exposed in advance, or the letter he received, or through the palace maid named Zi Zhu, he easily found Tang Huifei's place without any effort...
Everything went too smoothly.
The success gave Tangning the feeling that there was a pair of invisible hands manipulating everything behind her back...
This feeling of being a pawn in the opponent's hands made him very uncomfortable.
But Tangning didn't know who the person behind the scenes was, and couldn't even confirm the existence of the person behind the scenes.
When Tang Ning followed Emperor Chen to Yang Temple, King Huai was already waiting outside the palace.
Emperor Chen had just summoned King Huai to the palace. The matter of Concubine Tang Hui and Prince Duan was not easy to deal with either the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment.
Even Tang Ning would not be able to interfere in royal matters.
"Father." When King Huai saw Emperor Chen, he hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Emperor Chen ignored him and walked straight into the Yangshen Temple.
Seeing this, King Huai looked at Tang Ning and asked in confusion, "Master Tang, what exactly happened?"
Tangning took a deep look at King Huai and saw confusion and doubt in his eyes.
He lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty's illness is caused by Concubine Tang Hui secretly poisoning her. Just now in Chu Hui Palace, Concubine Tang Hui admitted all this with her own mouth..."
King Huai stood there stunned, as if he was shocked by this incident and could not speak.
Wei Jian walked out, looked at Tang Ning and King Huai, and said, "Your Highness, Mr. Tang, Your Majesty lets you in."
Tang Ning and Wang Huai walked in, and Huang Chen stood in the hall with his back to them. His back was particularly lonely, and his originally tall spine was now bent.
Tangning couldn't sympathize with Chen Huang's feelings. He only felt that Chen Huang was pitiful.
His son wants to kill him, his wife wants to poison him, and regardless of the fact that he is the emperor, as a father and a husband, what could be more chilling than these?
This is more than just chilling, this is a knife inserted into his chest, pulled out and inserted again...
Ordinary people encountering his situation would probably already question the meaning of life.
Emperor Chen was obviously not someone who would seek short-term consequences. He stood with his back to Tang Ning and King Huai for a long time. When he turned around, his expression had returned to indifference, and he said in a voice without any emotion: "Concubine Tang Hui intends to kill the emperor. Give her the gift of regicide."
Three feet of white silk, let her take her own life, Prince Duan removes the crown prince, and the rest of the participants will be punished as treason..."
He looked at Wang Huai and Tang Ning and said, "This case will be handled by you two. No one involved in the case will be let go!"
"I obey the decree!"
"My son, I obey!"
…
When Tang Ning and King Huai walked outside the palace, they heard violent coughing coming from the palace. After all, Chen Huang's body was still too weak, and he had experienced such a mental shock. What he needed was to rest, and he seemed unwilling to do so.
After hearing the news about the case again, he handed over the case to Tang Ning and Wang Huai.
"I really didn't expect to poison Your Majesty..." Tang Ning sighed and said, "Concubine Tang Hui is so bold..."
King Huai had recovered from the shock, shook his head and said: "The most important thing right now is to investigate the case thoroughly and give an explanation to my father."
Tang Ning said: "This case is a royal matter. It is difficult for a foreign minister like me to interfere, so I will leave it all to His Highness Prince Huai."
King Huai looked at him and asked: "This matter has nothing to do with the Tang family. Don't you want to take revenge personally, Mr. Tang?"
Tang Ning smiled and said, "Concubine Tang Hui's regicide and rebellion was a major crime against the nine clans. If it were according to the law, I would not be able to escape death, so how could I interfere?"
"Master Tang is joking." King Huai looked at him and said, "Every wrong has its own owner, and every debt has its owner. The mistakes made by Concubine Tang Hui and the Tang family should not affect others. What do you think, Master Tang?"
Tangning laughed twice and said, "I think His Highness Prince Huai is right."
Tang Ning did not interfere in this matter. Firstly, his identity was sensitive and he was not suitable to participate. Secondly, Tang Jing and his wife should not know about this matter. He handed the matter over to King Huai to deal with it in the hope of selling him face. At the same time, he also
Able to sell one's own face.
After all, Concubine Tang Hui and the Tang family were also the real culprits in Concubine Yang's incident. Tang Ning did not believe that King Huai was completely unaware of this matter. It was obvious that King Huai had reached an agreement with him on this matter.
In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the harem has been sealed off. King Huai still wanted to stay in the palace to interrogate those involved in the case. Tang Ning left the harem and walked towards the palace entrance.
When passing through Shangshu Province, Fang Zhe walked out of Shangshu Province and walked side by side with Tang Ning.
"Concubine Tang Hui committed regicide and was sentenced to death by His Majesty's decree. Tomorrow at the latest, Prince Duan and the Tang family will also be arrested. You don't have to worry about the prince. Tell the king that all plans are cancelled..."
Tang Ning whispered something and then drifted away, leaving Fang Zhe on the spot with a look of shock on his face.
Even though he was mentally tough, he was shocked by this sudden news and couldn't recover for a long time.
At the same time, in Chu Hui Palace.
The eunuchs and maids in Chu Hui Palace were kneeling on the ground in a row, their faces were pale, their bodies were trembling, some were timid, and they even cried.
Concubine Hui committed regicide and rebelled against the emperor. If the superiors were too cruel, everyone in Chu Hui Palace would be killed. How could they not be afraid?
King Huai looked at them and said, "You don't have to be afraid. No one in Chu Hui Palace who has anything to do with Concubine Hui's rebellion will be implicated..."
After appeasing these palace people, King Huai looked at the imperial guard general and asked, "Where is the palace maid who was bribed by Concubine Hui to poison Your Majesty?"
The guard general said: "She wanted to die just now, but in the end he tied her up and locked her up in a side hall."
King Huai said: "Take me over there."
After a while, in a side hall of Chuhui Palace, King Huai walked to the door and said: "This case is very involved. When I am interrogating her, no one is allowed in."
The general also knew that this matter involved the secrets of the royal family, and not just anyone could inquire about it. He immediately stood up straight and said, "As ordered!"
King Huai walked into the palace and closed the door from the inside.
In the corner of the hall, a thin figure was huddled there. Her body was tied tightly with a rope, and a rag was stuffed in her mouth to prevent her from biting her tongue and committing suicide.
King Huai walked over slowly, knelt down, took out the rag from her mouth, and gently wiped the blood on her forehead with his sleeve.
Zi Zhu did not dodge, but looked at him with soft eyes. King Huai looked at the wound on her forehead, with a trace of pity in his eyes, and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
A smile appeared on Zi Zhu's face, she shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt."
King Huai smiled slightly, much like the stubborn young man who lost his mother and concubine more than ten years ago and had nowhere to go after being bullied by the royal brothers. He could only hide in the palace and apply medicine on the young maid who had just entered the palace.
It was just that at that time, he was often injured, and he was always the one being taken care of.
There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, firelight shone outside the window, and Zi Zhu's body shrank back.
King Huai held her hand, looked at her with a smile, and said softly: "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Rong Xiaorong says
Thanks to classmate Nima for the 100,000 reward, this chapter is updated for the new alliance leader. I dedicated a book written by a historical master: "Picked up a Book of Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". In the ninth year of Yanxi of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Hong, who was only nine years old,
He caught a goldfish from the river, cut its belly open, and got a volume of heavenly book, which is called "Three Kingdoms"! As a result, the Han Dynasty had a different spiritual emperor and a different world.
