Chapter 214: Duke Gao was executed for committing adultery in the palace
He raised his eyes and saw Concubine Shu looking at him.
Emperor Showa sat on a high seat, apparently looking at the soldiers and ministers below.
But his eyes glanced at Duke Gao and Concubine Shu intentionally or unintentionally.
Today is a good opportunity for him to eradicate these two evils.
Down below, Huo Xingzhi picked up some food for Su Yuheng and whispered, "Heng'er, after the welcoming banquet is over, come with me to meet the Emperor."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Okay."
"Your Majesty, why do I feel that something is wrong with His Majesty today?"
Huo Xingzhi curled his lips and smiled: "You are quite observant. You can see all this."
"Of course." Su Yuheng said with confidence.
Huo Xingzhi: "Would you like to watch a good show later? This show was designed by my father himself."
Su Yuheng glanced at Emperor Showa who was sitting on the high seat, then lowered his head again.
This Emperor Showa is no simple man.
He is so cunning.
However, it would have been impossible for Emperor Showa to live to his age and still sit firmly on the throne without some means.
Some things are not good to be put out in the open.
Causing criticism from people all over the world.
The emperor has his own plans and tactics.
But it was this Emperor Showa who made Su Yuheng feel cold in his heart.
"Look, I love watching the fun the most."
After the welcoming banquet, Huo Xingzhi took Su Yuheng to Yongshou Palace where the retired emperor was.
As soon as the two stepped into Yongshou Palace, they heard a faint cough coming from the bedroom.
Huo Xingzhi's heart was in turmoil. He stepped in with Su Yuheng. The emperor had already propped himself up and got off the couch.
Huo Xingzhi hurried over and supported the emperor.
"Grandfather, are you feeling better?"
The Emperor gasped softly, reached out and grasped Huo Xingzhi's wrist, and said, "I heard that the Qi army was defeated. Did we, Great Yan, sign a ten-year truce agreement with Qi?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "Yes."
"After the border war ended, my grandfather sent someone to write to me, and I knew that he must be ill."
The emperor laughed heartily.
"After all these years, Xingzhi is still the one who understands me the best."
"Come, help me sit down."
Huo Xingzhi and Su Yuheng helped the emperor sit on the chair.
"You guys sit down too."
"Yes, Royal Grandfather." Su Yuheng said, and sat down on the chair on the side.
Huo Xingzhi then sat down as well.
The Emperor coughed twice and said, "A ten-year cessation of war would be good."
"Although the foreign war has stopped, the civil war in Dayan has never stopped."
He looked at Huo Xingzhi and Su Yuheng and said calmly, "Did you gain anything from your trip to Qin this time?"
Su Yuheng said, "My grandpa, my granddaughter-in-law has discovered that the Qin Emperor is licentious and immoral. I think the Qin Empire is on the verge of destruction."
"Grandfather, can you let your granddaughter-in-law take a look at your condition?"
The Emperor shook his head: "It's useless. I'm old now and I'm not as good as I was when I was young."
"The Imperial Hospital's doctor examined me and said they were just some old ailments."
"But I'm afraid that before I die, I won't be able to see the child you and Xingzhi have."
Su Yuheng wondered why she wasn't even pregnant yet.
Is the emperor trying to induce labor?
"If you can get pregnant soon, it will satisfy my heart."
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Yes, Grandfather."
"My royal grandfather will live to be a hundred years old."
Huo Xingzhi's lips curled up slightly. "Grandfather, do you know what I brought to you on this trip to Qin?"
The retired emperor was puzzled and looked at Huo Xingzhi in doubt.
"Could it be that you, this kid, can bring me some magic pills?"
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "It's not an elixir, but it's something similar."
He took out a box from under his sleeve, opened the box, and revealed a fire lotus.
"Fire Lotus?" The emperor frowned.
"Did you bring it back from Qin?"
Huo Xingzhi nodded: "I asked for it specially for my grandfather."
"Xingzhi, you are thoughtful."
Huo Xingzhi: "For the Emperor's grandfather, it's worth it."
Huo Xingzhi handed the fire lotus to Eunuch Zhang.
"Take this fire lotus and boil it, and bring it back in half an hour."
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Li." Eunuch Zhang took the fire lotus away.
Half an hour later, a bowl of boiled fire lotus was served.
"Grandfather, this is brewed for you."
The Emperor smiled and said, "Although this Fire Lotus can cure all poisons, it is not a magic elixir."
Huo Xingzhi smiled and said, "At least it can make your Royal Grandfather feel stronger. Please drink it."
The emperor nodded, picked up the spoon and drank the bowl of fire lotus.
"You, child, still love your royal grandfather the most."
"Grandfather Huang loves you the most."
A few people were talking in the bedroom when the voice of a young eunuch was heard outside.
"The Emperor."
The emperor frowned: "What's the matter?"
The young eunuch said, "Something happened in Chengxiang Palace. His Majesty is furious and wants to kill Duke Gao. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi wants to see the Emperor."
The Emperor said coldly, "I will not see the King of Qi. Let him go."
Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi looked at each other and wanted to watch the fun.
Su Yuheng smiled and said, "Grandfather, how about I go and see what happened?"
The emperor smiled and said, "You want to go and watch the fun, right? Go ahead."
"Yes, Royal Grandfather."
After Su Yuheng finished speaking, he walked out of Yongshou Palace. As soon as he walked out of Yongshou Palace, he saw King Qi hurriedly walking towards Yongshou Palace.
The two bumped into each other head-on. The King of Qi sneered in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the Queen's sister-in-law could return safely. This really surprises me."
“Don’t think that this king doesn’t know the whereabouts of Shen Tingzhou.”
Su Yuheng sneered: "You also surprised me, you are almost the same as the eunuchs in Yongshou Palace."
"You...you know, this king..."
Su Yuheng slowly walked towards the Prince of Qi and said in a low voice, "Of course I know that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi is a eunuch. It's your fault for always walking with your legs squeezed together."
After saying these sarcastic words, Su Yuheng turned around and left without looking back.
"Bitch!" The King of Qi's face flushed red.
As soon as Su Yuheng arrived at Chengxiang Hall, he saw armored soldiers surrounding the entire Chengxiang Hall.
In the bedroom, Duke Gao and Concubine Shu were kneeling on the ground with their clothes disheveled.
Duke Gao looked at Emperor Showa with horror and knocked his head heavily to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing against the Concubine Shu. I am only here to see your sister. Please listen to my explanation!"
Emperor Showa's face turned pale and he stretched out his legs and kicked Duke Gao hard.
"I saw it with my own eyes, and yet you still have any explanation? Do you think I'm a fool?"
When Su Yuheng arrived at Chengxiang Palace, what he saw was Emperor Zhaohe kicking Duke Gao.
She looked at the two people lying on the ground with disheveled clothes and understood instantly.
Everything was planned by Emperor Showa.
This is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Concubine Shu said, "Your Majesty, I only have you in my heart and will never do anything to let you down!"
"I just wanted to come and see you, Imperial Concubine, today. I didn't expect... I didn't expect the Duke to have such lustful thoughts about me. Your Majesty, please understand!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me." In order to protect herself, Concubine Shu could only push the matter onto Duke Gao.
Emperor Showa snorted coldly and said, "You two, do you really think I'm a fool?"
"What a coincidence, you two came to this bedroom to see the unconscious Concubine Gao? I think you two are just using this as an excuse to meet in private."
"Come here, drag Concubine Shu away and give her a piece of white silk!"
"Duke Gao has defiled the palace and deserves death!"
"If anyone dares to tell anyone what happened in Chengxiang Palace, I will exterminate his entire clan."
