Emperor Dongling had a gloomy face.
"With the third brother's personality, he really can do anything.
Let me find a way to deal with Hao'er's matter so that he can't deny it."
"I think we can go to the prison and ask Liu Heng." Queen Chen reminded.
Emperor Dongling narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You go back to Kunning Palace first. I will tell you when I have news.
Xue'er, please be careful. The other two female secret guards have completed their mission and are back. They will come to Kunning Palace to find you shortly. You should also bring secret guards with you when you enter the palace from now on."
"Yes!" Nangong Yunxue responded obediently.
Empress Chen took Nangong Yunxue and her daughter out of the imperial study.
"Someone come!"
Ajie shows up.
Emperor Dongling whispered a few instructions and Ajie left.
Only then did he take out the testimonies of the relevant people from the drawer of the jade case and instructed Eunuch Wei.
"Take the witnesses to the prison. I want to see how they can deny it."
Renchun Palace.
When Concubine Zheng returned to Renchun Palace, Liu Zhi had been waiting for half an hour.
"Mother, after I received the news yesterday, the more I thought about it, the more I felt it was necessary to come to the palace and discuss this with you.
Nangong Yunxue is now a first-rank imperial concubine, and her status is different. Her daughter is also the Princess Dingguo. Can we marry her into the palace and make her a concubine or something?"
Concubine Zheng Shu nodded.
“What you said, Mother also thought of it.
On the way back, she happened to run into them, and her mother even invited her to visit Renchun Palace."
Liu Zhi suddenly became excited.
"What did she say?"
"She said she would come to pay her respects when she's free.
If we can really win her over and marry her into the mansion, with the support of the general's mansion and the protection of the gods, then for us, there is no need to worry about not being able to accomplish great things.
However, her relationship with Empress Chen is unusual, so this matter requires careful planning."
Liu Zhi was silent for a moment: "Mother, do you have any way to call her to Renchun Palace?"
"No, mother knows what you are thinking. It's too risky to do that!" Concubine Zheng glanced at Liu Zhi and refused directly.
“I heard that a deputy general said something unpleasant in the court and was slapped in the face by a god.
Don't let things fail and end up in trouble. The best way is to make her marry you willingly."
Liu Zhi shook his head: "It would be extremely difficult to get her to voluntarily marry me as a concubine.
I don't quite believe in the matter of divine protection. Maybe she got some information by chance.
As for the fact that Lieutenant General Chen was beaten, it was most likely because she had an expert around her.
This is easy to do. Don't you have experts around you? Just don't let her people in."
Concubine Zheng Shu was hesitant: "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, I want to try!
As long as she steps into Renchun Palace, I will make her speechless and force her to marry me."
"You have always had your own ideas since you were young, and your mother can't persuade you.
However, you must be aware that if you do this, the result may not necessarily be what you want.
The Nangong family is not the type to accept fate passively, and you must also take into account the protection that Queen Chen and her son have shown Nangong Yunxue."
"I know!
Now, Liu Heng and Liu Hao are unable to make a comeback, so Liu Ze is nothing to be feared.
As for Liu Xuan, if I have the support of the Nangong family, the situation will be favorable to me.
Therefore, I must give it a try."
Concubine Zheng Shu stopped trying to persuade her: "Since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you. We, mother and son, will prosper together and suffer together."
After saying this, he called over his confidante, Madam Zheng, and whispered something to her.
Nanny Zheng thought for a moment, then nodded and retreated.
After an incense stick of time, Nanny Zheng carried a food box, left Renchun Palace and went to Kunning Palace.
Big prison.
Emperor Dongling and his entourage arrived at the cell where Xue Huaian and Liu Heng were imprisoned.
Xue Huaian and Liu Heng struggled to get up to welcome the emperor.
Liu Heng knelt on the ground and said, "Father, I, your son..."
"You are just a bastard, and you dare to call me father?"
Emperor Dongling directly threw a stack of testimonies at Liu Heng.
Then he looked at Xue Huaian: "You should know this person, right?"
Xue Huaian looked at the man being supported by the two eunuchs.
"Master, I'm Shunzi! You don't recognize me? Haha... Even if you turn into ashes, I'll still recognize you!"
"You're not dead?"
"Yes, God took pity on me and gave me a breath, so I lived for another twenty years."
Xue Huaian fell to the ground with a deathly pale face.
Emperor Dongling pointed at Xue Huaian and then at Concubine Xue in the cell on the other side.
"Xue Huaian, Xue Lin, you adulterous couple, I will not be satisfied even if I cut you into pieces."
Liu Heng knelt and stepped forward: "Your son had no choice in his birth. For more than twenty years, I have always been filial to you..."
"Don't say these useless things. Your so-called filial piety is full of calculations and purposes.
I just want to ask you one question: how did you collude with the third brother to harm Hao'er?
Frankly speaking, I can show mercy and spare any children under the age of two among your people."
Prime Minister Xue, who was lying down, responded: "Now that things have come to this, this one thing doesn't matter. There are two children under the age of two in the clan who can leave roots for our Xue family."
After Liu Heng was silent for a long time, he threw his head back and laughed like crazy.
"Haha...Liu Zhi is very ambitious. He resents Liu Hao because he is better than him in every way and is also the legitimate son.
I just asked him to go to Hongcui Tower and stir up some trouble. I didn't expect that he wanted to get rid of Liu Hao even more than I did, and he came up with one idea after another.
It’s a pity that the people around Liu Hao fought to the death to protect him, and we only injured his leg..."
Emperor Dongling's teeth were clattering.
"Xue Lin will be stripped of his title, Liu Heng will be demoted to a commoner, Xue Li and Xue Huaian will be stripped of their official positions, and all members of the Xue family, except for children under two years old, will be executed at Caishikou tomorrow!"
