Sheng Hong and Xie Mingxi were colluding and they were husband and wife. They both hated Empress Dowager Yu to the core and wished that Empress Dowager Yu would die immediately.
How could she think that her few light words could make Sheng Hong relent and give in?
Princess Changping's lips were trembling, tears almost overflowed from her eyes, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Sheng Hong! I'm begging you. I'll kneel down for you."
As he said that, he knelt down.
Sheng Hong had a sullen face and stretched out his hand to support the crying Princess Changping: "My mother is seriously ill and my sister is full of worries and her words are out of proportion. I will not argue with my sister."
"However, the imperial sister also needs to remember that misfortune comes from the mouth."
"Sister Huang only has the mother in her heart. Doesn't it mean that there is no consort, no Gu family, no Jin'er?"
Princess Changping: "..."
Princess Changping took a breath and looked at Sheng Hong in disbelief: "Are you threatening me?"
Sheng Hong twitched his lips: "This is a kind reminder. What you want to think is up to the emperor's sister. If there is nothing else, please ask the emperor's sister to go to Fulin Palace to take care of the illness. I still have many political affairs to deal with.
"
He opened his mouth and called Eunuch Wei to come in: "Send a gift for me to the imperial sister."
Eunuch Wei was so shrewd and perceptive that he pretended not to see Princess Changping's red eyes and respectfully said: "I obey the order."
Princess Changping turned around and left as if she had lost her soul.
Sheng Hong watched Princess Changping leave with an awe-inspiring chill in his eyes.
Ninety-nine steps have been taken, and the last step is missing. How can he give in?
Furthermore, with Empress Dowager Yu's shrewdness and ruthlessness, once she is allowed to breathe and get through this, I don't know how many more years it will take and how many turmoils will be caused...
He and Xie Mingxi have more important things to do, and they really have no time and don't want to compromise anymore.
Queen Mother Yu must die!
…
Queen Mother Yu must die!
Xie Mingxi and Sheng Hong had a tacit understanding for a long time. Princess Changping's disappointed and angry accusations did not affect their words and deeds at all.
Sheng Hong went to Fulin Palace twice a day, and Xie Mingxi stayed at Fulin Palace for most of the day. In the name of waiting for the sick, he would hang out in front of Empress Dowager Yu from time to time, which made Empress Dowager Yu feel like she was stuck in her throat.
Seeing that Queen Mother Yu was getting worse day by day, the look on Zhao Yuanshi's face became more and more sad day by day.
Empress Dowager Yu's hateful and malicious words that day are still in my ears. These days, Empress Dowager Yu looked at him with more and more vicious eyes...
He didn’t want to be buried by Empress Dowager Yu!
Fulin Palace was full of sick people every day, and the envoy from Zhao Yuan stayed by Empress Dowager Yu's side every day. It was really inappropriate to see Xie Mingxi alone.
Zhao Yuan envoy could not hold back any longer. He took a look at the young man's free time, came up to Xie Mingxi, and respectfully raised his hands and said: "I would like to report to the Queen, I have something to report to the Queen."
Xie Mingxi's eyes glanced over Zhao Yuanshi's flattering face, and she felt confused in her heart. She said lightly: "It's not convenient to talk here, so follow me to Jiaofang Hall."
The Zhao Yuan envoy was refreshed and responded repeatedly.
After entering the Jiaofang Palace, the envoy from the Zhao Yuan plopped down on his knees and cried as if he were singing: "Wei Chen is loyal to the Queen. I beg the Queen to save Wei Chen's life!"
Xie Mingxi looked calm and unmoved: "Zhao Yuanzhi knelt down and cried, and opened his mouth to save lives. Where did these words come from?"
The envoy from Zhao Yuan kowtowed repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager said that day that I would be given poisonous wine on the day of my death and that I would serve him underground in the underworld. It's not that I am unfaithful, but I have parents to support at home, and
I really can’t let go of my wife, children, and grandchildren. I ask the Queen to save my life. I must be heartbroken and obey the Queen’s orders.”
The envoys of Zhao Yuan were greedy for life, afraid of death, greedy for wealth and honor, and acted according to the wind, without any character.
This kind of villain is the easiest to manipulate and the easiest to betray.
Xie Mingxi glanced at Ambassador Zhao and said with a half-smile: "Envoy Zhao keeps saying that he is loyal to me. Today I want to see how loyal Ambassador Zhao is."
"I would like to ask you, why did the Queen Mother choose you to be the envoy? What have you done in private to win the Queen Mother's favor?"
Zhao Yuanshi cried for a while, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
The death of Emperor Jianwen was inseparable from Empress Dowager Yu. Seriously, he was also an accomplice.
Almost all the people who knew about this secret were dead. Eunuch Zhilan and Lu had already gone to hell, and he was the only one who knew about it... The Empress suddenly mentioned an old incident, and she had obviously been suspicious for a long time.
Xie Mingxi did not ask further questions, picked up the tea bowl, took a slow sip, savored it carefully, and praised: "Good tea!" Then, he glanced at Zhao Yuanshi, whose expression was changing: "Life has all kinds of flavors, I don't know Zhao Yuanshi
I can still taste it for a few more days."
Zhao Yuanshi shuddered all over his body, all hesitations and hesitations were turned into ashes, and he kowtowed heavily: "I dare not hide anything, this is what I said."
…
Half an hour later, Ambassador Zhao left the Jiaofang Hall with a gloomy face and weak steps.
It was as if all the strength in the body had been drained away.
Xie Mingxi's cold words rang in his mind: "...Zhao Yuanzhang, you made a huge mistake, and you were cut into pieces. It is not a pity to die. I hope you will find your way back and take the initiative to tell the truth. I will spare you for the time being."
Take your life."
"Immediately go to the clan's mansion to see Prince Fenyang. Tell Prince Fenyang truthfully what you just said to me. Don't hide even a word! I will protect your life!"
Dozens of imperial guards had already been waiting at the side for the order. They stepped forward with solemn expressions and "sent" the envoy from Zhao Yuan to the sect's mansion.
The envoy from Zhao Yuan had nowhere to hide and escape, so he went to the clan's mansion with a sad face.
Emperor Zhao Yuan felt extremely regretful.
If I had known this, why would I do it in the first place?
For the sake of his position as envoy, he was willing to be a sharp knife in the hands of Queen Mother Yu. Now that he is in this situation, he is lucky to be able to save his life. Don't think about anything else.
The Prince of Fenyang County is the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion and is in charge of all royal family members.
Although Empress Dowager Yu did not directly murder Emperor Jianwen, she secretly added fuel to the flames, causing Emperor Jianwen to become addicted to women, exhausting his energy and blood and dying.
Such secrets, told from the mouth of Zhao Yuan envoy, are very credible.
The envoy of Zhao Yuan had a good memory and wrote down all the medicines he had "ordered" to offer to the emperor.
After the king of Fenyang County interrogated the envoy from Zhao Yuan, he was shocked and angry. He immediately went to the palace to see the emperor. He presented this piece of paper to the emperor.
Sheng Hong stood up suddenly, with the flames of rage burning in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said: "Prince Fenyang, follow me to Fulin Palace immediately. I want to ask my mother personally whether this matter is true or not!"
Prince Fenyang was equally furious and said in a deep voice: "I have something to say. Please ask the emperor to summon all the princes and princes to the palace to meet with the Queen Mother."
"The Queen Mother is the daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. I want to hold the Queen Mother accountable in front of the clan members!"
