Chapter 233 Did my brother do something bad?
Concubine Qi was awakened by the pain.
At daybreak, her headache was gone.
But her face and neck felt like they were burning.
"Ah! My face, my face..." The moment she opened her eyes, her whole body trembled. She wanted to touch her face but didn't dare to, and a sharp sound came out of her mouth.
She was just about to ask someone to bring her a bronze mirror.
The guards rushed in.
This just gave her an excuse to vent her anger, "How dare you! Who gave you the courage to break into my bedroom without permission?"
Last night, after her face was disfigured, she fainted from the pain.
She didn't know about the prince forcing the emperor to abdicate, let alone what happened today. She still thought she was the high and mighty Concubine Qi.
His Majesty has not woken up yet.
The concubines in the harem and the princes are all guarding His Majesty.
Now the crown prince was thrown into the Heavenly Prison. As soon as he went in, the fourth prince also went in.
His Majesty is ill again. This is a great opportunity for her to show her ability. Who has the time to come here and add insult to injury?
The leader of the Imperial Guards looked at Concubine Qi coldly, "Your Majesty has decreed that Concubine Qi and the Fourth Prince have secretly amassing 100,000 elite troops in Rongyang with the intention of rebellion. Their crimes are unforgivable and they must be thrown into the Heavenly Prison immediately."
"What?" Concubine Qi felt a buzzing in her head. She felt dizzy and felt like the sky was falling.
They did this in a very secretive manner.
Not to mention that the eldest princess is there to protect them.
How did Your Majesty suddenly know about this?
This is so unusual.
"This is absolute nonsense. I want to see His Majesty." After coming to her senses, she also clamored to see His Majesty.
"The evidence is irrefutable. The eldest princess has been sentenced to death by His Majesty. Your Majesty, it would be best for you to confess your guilt. Do you think His Majesty will still see you?"
Concubine Qi's face and neck were all wrapped up. She suddenly widened her eyes, full of disbelief.
The eldest princess has been sentenced to death by His Majesty?!
This means that the matter has been fully exposed.
"What about the Qi family? How are the people in the Qi family?" Even though she already had a vague guess in her heart, Concubine Qi couldn't help but ask out loud.
The leader of the Imperial Guard was very kind and tried to clear her mind. "Qi family? What Qi family? There is no such thing as a Qi family in this world. His Majesty has already issued an order to behead Qi Zhengye in public, and then to exterminate all nine generations of his clan. At this point, the Empress is probably the only one left in the Qi family."
Concubine Qi's eyes went dark and she almost fainted.
"Ah..." She burst into tears, and at this time she didn't care about the injuries on her face.
Two guards dragged her away.
Suddenly, Concubine Qi remembered something. With bloodshot eyes, she looked at the servant beside her and asked, "Where is that bitch?"
"Last night, when the Crown Prince was forcing the emperor to abdicate, those rebels from the Eastern Palace broke into Chaoyun Palace. Not only did they kill many people, they also set it on fire. The room where that bitch was staying was completely burned to ashes. I'm afraid she must have been reduced to ashes long ago."
Concubine Qi was shocked again.
How much had she missed?
Last night, the prince sent people to force the emperor to abdicate and also sent people to Chaoyun Palace to kill people indiscriminately.
Is he crazy?
No.
It must be Pei Zhi who is behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Even that bitch is missing, this is the most suspicious point.
Could it be that... Pei Zhi already knew that the bitch was his daughter!
So, it was Pei Zhi who had her face destroyed.
"Hahaha..." Concubine Qi laughed miserably.
No wonder His Majesty knew about their secret deployment of troops. Pei Zhi and Xie Changning must have known about what happened back then.
And this is their revenge.
Concubine Qi was soon thrown into the Sky Prison, with no one by her side.
It was pitch dark in the prison, and until this moment, she still didn't know that the Fourth Prince had been assassinated.
"Xie Changning, Pei Zhi, just wait for me. I will never admit defeat. I was able to play with all of you in the palm of my hand back then, and I can still do it now." Concubine Qi glanced around and quickly cheered up.
She has been planning for many years, so how could she be defeated so easily?
As long as her prince is still alive, she still has a chance to turn the tide.
Upon learning that Concubine Qi and the Fourth Prince had also been thrown into the Heavenly Prison, the Crown Prince couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Father, oh, father, this is the woman you've doted on for so many years, and your son! It seems they're no better than me."
The prince just felt extremely happy.
Suddenly the smile on his face froze.
How could Concubine Qi and the Fourth Prince fall so easily?
They have been secretly stockpiling private soldiers for more than a year or two.
Could it be... that this is also Pei Zhi's work?
What exactly does he want to do?
As soon as Xie Changning returned, he received the news that His Majesty had vomited blood and fainted.
The news was sent by Pei Zhi, and even the eldest brother did not receive the news. This shows what Pei Zhi has been doing over the years.
How many people did he place in the palace?
Chen Yubai and Zhuzhu were also there.
Those troublesome people in the mansion have been cleared out, so they naturally don't need to hide from others.
After hearing the news that His Majesty had vomited blood and fainted, Shen Yubai's eyes flickered slightly. He thought for a moment and looked at Xie Changning and said, "Well, mother, I have something to say."
Xie Changning raised his eyes and looked at him.
Shen Yubai grinned, "You have to promise not to hit me first."
As soon as he said this, Zhuzhu tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Why did mother hit you? Did brother do something bad?"
Shen Yubai, "..."
The corner of his mouth twitched.
As expected, the person who knows him best is his sister!
"That's not a bad thing!"
Xie Changning looked at the siblings, her eyes filled with only relief. Yu Bai was not someone without sense of propriety. "Okay, tell me! I promise not to hit you."
Shen Yubai chuckled, "When I was in the imperial kitchen, I had nothing to do, so I added a little topping to your majesty's imperial meal. That's why your majesty vomited blood and fainted."
