Upon hearing this, Emperor Jinde handed her one of the confessions and said, "Take a look."
When she saw the confession, Concubine Li's face turned visibly pale.
Yuan Chuliang was a spineless man. He confessed everything without being tortured. He said that everything was instigated and threatened by Princess Yongjia, and he had no choice. It was all Princess Yongjia's fault.
Emperor Jinde suddenly asked, "Princess Li, tell me, will Heng'er be lonely in heaven?"
Concubine Li suddenly looked up and felt a chill from head to toe.
Heng'er is the second prince, her and His Majesty's son who died young.
Heng'er was killed by that woman. That vicious woman still looks innocent. How can she be qualified to lead the harem?!
Lipin spoke with difficulty: "The dead are gone. Heng'er was so well-behaved and kind. He must have hoped that the living could live well and peacefully and happily."
Emperor Jinde seemed to be thinking about something and said "hmm".
Concubine Li stood up and said, "Since Your Majesty has made a decision, I dare not question it. I will take my leave now."
She hurriedly left Ziji Palace. The night wind blew in her face, making her feel cold to the bone.
Due to a slight slip, Concubine Li fell down the stone steps, looking embarrassed and dazed.
The nanny quickly helped her up.
“Bang!”
Concubine Li slapped her hard, her eyes red and her whole body trembling.
His Majesty specifically mentioned Heng'er who died young, saying that Heng'er was lonely in heaven... His Majesty just asked her to choose between her nephew and Yongjia.
Only one of them can survive, and the other will go to heaven to accompany Heng'er.
Tears welled up in Lipin's eyes, and she said hoarsely, "I cannot lose, and I will not lose."
In this harem, who doesn’t have blood on their hands and bones under their feet?
No matter whose corpse she steps on, she will have the last laugh!
…
This day.
Jiang Qingyao kept her appointment and went to the market with her good friend Dou Yueying.
"There are a lot of people gathered over there, it looks very lively, let's go and see what's going on." Dou Yueying pulled her into the crowd.
"Sister, what happened up front?"
"The son of the Minister of War has neglected his duties and abused his power to interfere in the military secrets office. He shall be publicly executed."
Jiang Qingyao's eyes moved slightly. What's so good about that?
But he had already been pushed to the front, and happened to see Princess Yongjia at the execution platform, with a pale face and a look of having lost her soul.
Jiang Qingyao stopped.
Dou Yueying whispered in her ear, "I know this Yuan Chuliang. He's a scumbag who bullies men and women. He's responsible for at least a dozen deaths. Unfortunately, his father is the Minister of War, and his aunt is a favorite concubine in the palace, so no one can control him."
Jiang Qingyao smacked her lips: "Then he really deserves it."
Suddenly someone shouted, "The Marquis of Anguo is here! The Marquis of Anguo is here to oversee the execution!"
In the sunlight, the crimson figure in the lead exuded a powerful aura.
Marquis Anguo was wearing a Qilin robe and sat in the first seat with an indifferent expression.
His eyes swept over the people below and suddenly stopped.
Jiang Qingyao subconsciously raised her hands to cover her face, but it was too late, He Zheng's brows were already frowning!
