Oh!
Bei Lingyao smiled sarcastically, remembering her now.
What daydreaming.
It’s a nice thought.
The next day, half of the people were missing from the morning court.
The sky prison and the underground dungeon were packed.
Taizong's concubine Li was still alive and was arrested in the Li family's ancestral temple.
And Anping Earl Xiao Sa was Taizong's posthumous son.
News came out that more than a dozen children of the retired emperor and concubines in the harem were killed by Concubine Li, Duke Li and others in collusion with Yang Jinzhong.
The court was in an uproar.
Everyone gasped.
It’s over, it’s over, the emperor is going to start a killing spree again.
However, some stubborn people in the court still stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when will the cycle of revenge end? Please forgive others when you can. Concubine Li is guilty, but Taizong's lineage has been wiped out. Now only Prince Xiao is left. Please spare Prince Xiao's life."
The retired emperor had a cold expression and sneered, "You're going to keep them and then seek revenge on my descendants, right? Drag them away, throw them in jail, and treat them as accomplices."
There was silence in the court, and no one dared to speak up.
Given the emperor's temperament, the Li and Xiao families would definitely be exterminated.
Treating them as accomplices is an extremely serious punishment.
None of them could bear it.
Those who were directly involved with the Li and Xiao families were arrested, and those who were indirectly involved were also investigated.
Those who were not deeply involved have distanced themselves from the matter.
I wish there were words on my forehead that had nothing to do with the Li family.
Everyone thought that the Li and Xiao families were crazy.
Taizong originally wanted to destroy the Li family. Not only did Concubine Li not die and gave birth to Taizong's posthumous child, but she also did not hide the child well and lived under an assumed name, and she also stirred up trouble in secret.
If you want to revive Taizong's lineage, you have to wait for the death of the retired emperor.
So eager to expose yourself.
There's no need to rush to seek death.
Regardless of what the court officials thought, the evidence of the crimes of the Li and Xiao families were listed one by one.
There are actually hundreds of them.
Brothels, casinos, human markets, black markets, private armies, killer organizations, underground arenas, etc., these dark places are almost all monopolized by the Li family.
Although both the Li and Xiao families in the capital were arrested.
But those outside the capital have not yet been caught.
From yesterday till now, the retired emperor has issued countless decrees without stopping.
The armies in various places were mobilized and many spies were secretly uncovered.
The retired emperor has had a firm control over the army for decades.
Although he was an emperor, he was a military genius on the battlefield and never lost a battle. The surrounding countries were all subdued and frightened by him and kept their distance from him.
Even though the emperor was old, his many military achievements made him a military god in the hearts of the people and soldiers of Dayong.
Over the past few decades, the Li family has racked their brains to find ways to arrange for people to infiltrate the military camp, but they have never been able to get into the core and were almost exposed.
So they raised a large number of private armies.
They were bandits and mountain bandits, and even engaged in business in several small countries around them.
It can be said that Duke Li has great ambitions.
If the retired emperor had not invaded the capital, the Li family would have been wiped out by Emperor Taizong.
It was precisely because they realized the supremacy of imperial power that Duke Li and his son had great ambitions.
One legitimate wife and one illegitimate child married Xiao Sa, and their son married a daughter of the Li family, thus binding the two generations together.
If successful, all members of the royal family will be able to change their surname to Li.
At this time, Duke Li hated Concubine Li to death.
A woman who is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.
If it weren't for Concubine Li's impulsiveness, they would never have been exposed.
The shrewd Duke Li wanted to outlast the emperor.
As long as the retired emperor was dead, Emperor Kangde would not be a threat.
But after more than 30 years of planning, all came to nothing.
Concubine Li also regretted it very much.
All the women who had never humiliated Emperor Taizong in the past were sent away with a cup of poisoned wine.
Even Taizong received the same treatment.
But Concubine Li was an exception.
The emperor didn't want to let it go easily.
In the dungeon, Concubine Li and Duke Li suffered inhuman torture and were on the verge of death.
With Yang Jinzhong around, they couldn't die even if they wanted to.
Both the Li and Xiao families were frightened to the point of incontinence.
Some were even frightened silly and crazy.
Mrs. Li and her four children, one daughter and three sons, were trembling with fear.
"Mother, why didn't father save us? I don't want to die. I regret it..."
Bei Shuxian was filled with regret. If she were the queen, nothing would happen to her now.
Why did I lose my mind at that time and help Bei Lingyao?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…
Bang!
Li slapped her daughter in the face and said, "Shut up."
"Mother, you hit me again."
Bei Shuxian covered her hurt face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't you see where we are now?"
Li gritted her teeth. Bei Shuxian looked around and met countless pairs of numb, empty and weird eyes.
She shuddered violently and was too scared to make a sound.
Anyone who can enter the dungeon will go crazy.
At this time, the Xiao and Li families were being punished, but Li and her children were relatively safe.
However, the environment in the dungeon is not good. It is damp, dark, smelly, moldy, and there are snakes, insects, rats and ants.
It would be more appropriate to call it a dark cell rather than a dungeon.
"It's all your fault"
At this time, both Mrs. Li and her three sons blamed Bei Shuxian.
In their opinion, if Bei Shuxian was the queen, they would not be thrown into the Sky Prison, but would be imprisoned in the mansion for investigation like Taifu Bei.
After living a life of luxury for many years, how could he endure an environment like a dungeon?
Bei Shuxian was also very sad when facing the accusations and resentment of her family members. She said, "Kill me, kill me, I don't want to live anymore."
