Chapter five hundred and eighty seventh confession (2)
After finishing the meal, Queen Yu led her daughters-in-law back to the main hall and continued chatting and waiting for news.
"On the day I returned home, I first went back to Lianchi Academy to visit Master."
Xie Mingxi smiled and mentioned Gu Shanchang: "Master specially told me that in the first year after marrying into the Tian family, I should not go back to the academy at will. Otherwise, my mother will not be happy, and I will avoid making people gossip."
Queen Yu smiled casually and said: "Xianzhi is too careful. She lives alone in the academy, so she is lonely and deserted. When you have time, go back and see her more often. If she asks, just say yes.
My idea."
Xie Mingxi pursed her lips and smiled: "In this way, I will accept the queen's kindness shamelessly."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking and laughing, and they were in harmony.
Xiao Yuhan Yin Xiaoxiao Li Xiangru: "..."
Everyone was worried, but fortunately Xie Mingxi was still able to laugh. She even opened her mouth shamelessly and let Queen Yu take the initiative to allow her to go to Lianchi Academy as she pleased!!!
After all, Zhao Changqing was older and more calm, and the matter of seizing the crown prince had little to do with the second prince. His mentality quickly returned to normal. He also chatted with Queen Yu.
After waiting for a long time, Eunuch Lu sent another message.
"Report to the Empress," Zhi Lan reported softly: "It was announced that Mr. Sheng had confessed. The emperor was furious and ordered the imperial guards to scold Mr. Sheng. He also ordered people to immediately summon the Huainan Prince and his son and the Hejian Prince to the palace!"
…
Shengxuan pleads guilty!
Just five words, like spring thunder!
Everyone was shocked and stood up suddenly.
Li Xiangru could no longer maintain his calm expression, his face turned pale, and his voice suddenly rose, sharp and harsh: "What did you say? What crime did Sheng Xuan plead guilty to?"
Xiao Yuhan's reaction was exactly the opposite. The breath that was stuck in his chest was released unconsciously. His face, which was originally tense, also relaxed a bit.
No matter what crime Sheng Xuan confessed to, in short, it was the fourth prince who was unlucky. The third prince clearly had the upper hand in this fierce battle.
Zhao Changqing frowned slightly, and Yin Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Mingxi still looked calm. She glanced at the frightened Li Xiangru first, and then said calmly: "Sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor, don't be anxious. Let's ask the reason of the matter first."
The unlucky person is not your husband, so of course you are not in a hurry!
Li Xiangru couldn't care less about his appearance and looked at each other angrily.
It's a pity that no matter how fierce or cold the eyes are, they can't damage Xie Mingxi in the slightest.
On the contrary, Xie Mingxi opened his mouth and made Li Xiangru furious: "Since Sheng Xuan has confessed, it can be seen that the assassination has nothing to do with the Fourth Emperor Brother. The Fourth Emperor Brother has cleared all suspicions, and the Fourth Emperor's wife should be the Fourth Emperor Brother."
You should be happy. Why are you so frightened and angry?"
Who doesn’t know that Sheng Xuan is the fourth prince’s right-hand man?!
If Sheng Xuan pleads guilty, she will be severely punished. It will be equivalent to cutting off an arm of the fourth prince! It will also put the fourth prince into an irrefutable passive situation! How can she not be impatient or angry?
Li Xiangru gritted his teeth, swallowed the mouthful of blood in his throat, and squeezed out a few words: "What the seventh brother and sister said makes sense. It was me who lost my temper in a moment of impatience."
Xiao Yuhan saw this and couldn't bear it. He wanted to open his mouth to smooth things over, but when the words came to his lips, he silently endured it.
Li Xiangru is the most arrogant and arrogant person. Words of comfort at this time are more unbearable for her than harsh words and sarcasm.
Furthermore, the opposition between the third prince and the fourth prince has become established. The two of them are gradually drifting apart, and they can only barely maintain the superficial "affection" between their sisters. No matter what they say, it can only be described as false love.
Queen Yu's eyes flashed and she asked calmly: "Zhilan, what crime did Sheng Xuan admit to?"
Everyone looked at Zhilan together.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhilan did not panic and responded softly: "Eunuch Lu hurriedly sent his servant to deliver a message. He didn't explain it very clearly. I guess it was because he had no time to say more. What the slave heard did not miss a word.
No matter how much you say, I will never know."
Queen Yu pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly: "I will go to the Qing Palace immediately."
All the princes and concubines also wanted to go with them, but no one dared to speak.
The Yiqing Hall is where the emperor handles political affairs. On weekdays, only the princes and the ministers are allowed to enter and exit the palace. The concubines of the harem are not allowed to come near. As Empress Yu is so favored, she rarely sets foot in the Yiqing Hall.
None of them had ever crossed the threshold of Yiqing Hall.
"My daughter-in-law is worried about His Highness the Seventh Prince and wants to go to the Yiqing Palace together. Please approve of the Queen Mother!" A familiar voice sounded.
The person who opens his mouth is none other than Xie Mingxi!
The princes and concubines looked at each other with complicated emotions and immediately echoed: "My daughter-in-law also wants to go."
Empress Yu didn't know what she was thinking, but she nodded in agreement.
…
After a cup of tea, the princes and concubines surrounded Queen Yu outside the Yiqing Hall.
Far away, everyone heard the sound of the stick.
The elegant, handsome and graceful Sheng Xuan had her hands and feet tied up, and the strong wooden stick fell heavily on the flesh without mercy, leaving a ruthless blood mark.
The screams of despair could be heard endlessly, which was frightening and terrifying.
Li Xiangru gritted her teeth hard, not daring to look at Sheng Xuan's tragic situation.
Xie Mingxi's eyes fell firmly on Sheng Xuan, and she raised the corners of her lips slightly.
Sheng Xuan received dozens of sticks and was beaten to pieces. He no longer had the strength to open his eyes. At this moment, he found the strength to open his eyes and begged: "Please, Queen, please save my life!"
The only one who could calm down the furious Emperor Jianwen was Queen Yu.
The only one who could save Sheng Xuan's life at this time was Queen Yu.
However, seeing Sheng Xuan meet such an end, Queen Yu felt extremely happy. Why did she open her mouth to save him?
Queen Yu glanced at the bloody Sheng Xuan, smiled coldly, and walked over.
Sheng Xuan shouted with all her strength: "Four, Sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor, save me!"
Li Xiangru's whole body was cold, even her fingertips were cold. When she heard Sheng Xuan's scream, she shivered all over, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Sheng Xuan. She lowered her head and followed Queen Yu closely.
behind.
Xie Mingxi, on the other hand, stopped in front of Sheng Xuan.
Sheng Xuan only saw a red skirt and a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes.
The royal guard who was in the process of beating him with a stick silently stopped and took a step back.
Sheng Xuan raised her head with difficulty.
The afternoon sun was bright and dazzling. The pretty face above her head was against the light, and her face could not be seen clearly for a while. But Sheng Xuan still recognized her at a glance.
It’s Xie Mingxi!
Princess Yongning was imprisoned in Ciyun Nunnery, and the Huainan Palace gradually declined, all because of her!
The reason why I am in this situation today is because of her being the one causing trouble behind my back.
The flames of hatred shot out from Sheng Xuan's eyes, so fierce that he seemed to choose and devour others.
Xie Mingxi raised the corners of her lips silently, leaned forward slightly, and said calmly: "On the day you planned to assassinate the seventh prince, you should have expected today's ending!"
"If I'm to blame, it's because you're blind and don't recognize people well."
"When you go underground, remember to find your true enemy."
