On that night, Concubine Zhao, who was in the dungeon of the Ministry of Punishment, received the imperial edict from Emperor Xianzong. After hearing the word "execution", Concubine Zhao suddenly looked up at the eunuch who delivered the edict. She was the biological mother of the Sixth Prince. Concubines who gave birth to sons were not killed if they were guilty. Did Emperor Xianzong not even care about the ancestral teachings?
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict finished reading the imperial edict in his hand, turned around, picked up another imperial edict, and read it word by word.
Concubine Zhao was pressed to her knees by two maids from the Ministry of Punishment. After hearing only two sentences of the imperial edict, Concubine Zhao struggled to get up. "Switch the child?" Such a ridiculous thing could be written into the imperial edict by the king of a country?! When the two maids saw Concubine Zhao opening her mouth to scream, they simultaneously stretched out their hands and pressed them on her mouth, making her unable to make a sound even though she wanted to scream out her grievances.
"Zhao, please accept the order," the eunuch who delivered the order ordered Concubine Zhao after reading the imperial edict.
The two maids forced Concubine Zhao to kowtow. After she kowtowed three times, Concubine Zhao was considered to have accepted the two imperial edicts.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch looked at Concubine Zhao who was kneeling on the ground, and thought about the glorious days when Concubine Zhao was in the past. The eunuch sighed and said to his men, "Let's go."
The former chief eunuch of the Ministry of Punishment helped Zhao Qiu Ming and was beaten to death in front of the gate of the Ministry of Punishment by the emperor. Who dares to say a word to the Zhao family now?
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the two maids dragged Concubine Zhao into the cell, closed the door, and retreated.
Concubine Zhao sat on the floor of the cell for a while, then rushed to the cell door, shouting and crying Yu Ziming's name.
The tunnel outside the cell was empty. Concubine Zhao's cries could be heard from far away, but no one listened.
Xianzong was still sitting in the imperial study at this time, looking at the chief guard who had followed Yu Xiaoxiao to the East Gate Inn during the day, and said, "What did you say? Concubine Zhao said that the one called Dadong is Qiu's sister?"
The chief guard didn't dare to look up, he lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Xianzong asked, "But the princess still saved Qiu's sister?"
The captain of the guard said, “Yes.”
Xianzong was confused for a moment. Why did his daughter want to protect Qiu's sister? Could there be something between his daughter and Qiu that he didn't know?
The chief guard said, "Your Majesty, there were many people present when Zhao and the princess were talking, so this matter spread throughout the capital."
"Princess Xuan has entered the palace," said King Xianzong.
"Huh? Do you have something to talk to me about?" Just as Xianzong said that Princess Xuan had entered the palace, Yu Xiaoxiao's voice came from outside the left window.
Xianzong... this guy jumped into the palace again. Even his threat of death is useless!
Pushing the window open, Yu Xiaoxiao jumped out of the window with a food box in her hand.
Xianzong said, "You are here to treat me to a meal?"
Yu Xiao: "Oh, Xiao Gu and I both wanted to eat dumplings, so I went out to buy some. I was a little worried about you, so I came home to see you."
Xianzong waved his hand to let the head guard, who was standing with his head bowed, go out and said, "Why are you worried about me?"
Yu Xiao: "Xiao Ma, do you want to eat dumplings?"
Captain of the Guards..., the surname Ma is really a mistake!
"Get lost," Xianzong took a look at the captain of the guards who was tall, had a good figure and a nice face.
After the captain of the guard kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong, he ran out of the imperial study. The look in the emperor's eyes just now was so terrifying!
"Put down your dumplings first," Xianzong drove away the chief guard and said to Yu Xiao, "Come here, your father has something to ask you."
Yu Xiaoxiao was reluctant to put the dumplings down, so she stood in front of Xianzong with the food box in hand and asked, "What new ideas do you have about life?"
Xianzong..., what else can he think about life now? But he also doesn't believe that his daughter will stab him in the back.
Yu Xiao: "What's the point of just looking at me? Speak."
Xianzong asked, "When you arrested Zhao today, did you save a woman named Dadong?"
Yu Xiao: "Oh my god, you know about this too? Are you spying on me?"
Xianzong sighed. Who could have the ability to monitor this guy? "Is this Dadong Qiu's sister?"
Yu Xiaoxiao immediately became alert and asked, "Did you see the treacherous concubine Zhao?"
Xianzong said: "Do I still need to go see Zhao? Now everyone in the capital knows that you saved Qiu's sister!"
"Isn't that ridiculous?" Yu Xiao: "Dadong has nothing to do with your sneeze."
Xianzong asked, "Why did Concubine Zhao say that?"
Yu Xiao: "I'm not Princess Zhao, how would I know? Chu Qiu's original name was Qingyu. She wanted to be Xiao Gu's concubine, followed Jing Mo, and then slept with Mo Wen, and finally tricked you."
Xianzong said, "Can you not talk about this?"
"If you do it, don't be afraid of being talked about," Yu Xiaoxiao said impatiently, "If you have any dignity, don't let Chu Qiu hook up with you. Besides, wasn't it you who brought up this topic?"
Xianzong wanted to order someone to kick the girl out.
Yu Xiao: "Let's talk about Dadong. Dadong was picked by Zhao Qiuming and brought to the Zhao Mansion to pretend to be Zhao Yingyao, the second daughter of the Zhao family." Yu Xiaoxiao told Xianzong about Dadong's origins in a confusing way, and finally concluded: "Dad, how many people are thinking about your body, tsk."
King Hyunjong…
Dark Guards Brothers...
Yu Xiao: "Well, I can't understand why Concubine Zhao said that Dadong is Chuqiu's sister. She was so scared when she saw me that her mind was confused?"
Xianzong looked at his daughter and wondered where this confidence of hers came from.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked down at the food box in her hand, endured the pain, and asked Xianzong: "Do you want to eat dumplings?"
Xianzong slammed the table and cursed: "This bitch!"
Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Concubine Zhao is a bitch. You just found out today?"
"She wants to ruin your reputation and sow discord between us father and daughter!" Xianzong was almost furious at this moment.
Yu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. Could Concubine Zhao's words ruin her reputation and sow discord between her and her father, the emperor? This woman was about to die, yet she was still so powerful?
Xianzong stood up and was about to leave, saying, "I'll go find her!"
Yu Xiao: "Wait a minute, tell me first, what is going on?"
Xianzong was pushed by Yu Xiaoxiao and sat back on the couch.
Yu Xiao: "I have a very good reputation. Everyone thinks I am a good princess who cares about the country and the people."
Xianzong was shocked and asked, "Which idiot praised you like that?"
Yu Xiaoxiao was unhappy and said, "This is how the people evaluate me. You, who likes to sleep with women, won't understand."
"You are the only one who cares about the country and the people?" Xianzong was originally furious, but now he was happy again.
Yu Xiao: "If I wasn't worried about the country and the people, why would I stay up late at night and come to the palace to see you? Are you prettier than my little Gu?"
Xianzong..., this girl is worried about the country and the people, just because she is afraid that she will sleep with Zhao Yingshan again? Do you have to torture his heart like this every day?
