Chapter 50 The Harem Mistaken Him
There is no doubt that Concubine Xian wants to harm people, and all the evidence found today can prove it.
It was also a fact that she was outmaneuvered, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that.
Unfortunately, she didn't find any clues about that person and she couldn't prove herself.
Therefore, this matter can only be concluded based on evidence and facts witnessed by everyone.
"Your Majesty, I didn't do that. I just didn't want to waste your time dealing with state affairs to deal with the affairs of the harem. I just wanted to clear Mou'er's name."
Concubine Xian knew that she would not be able to reverse the situation if the Queen did not come forward, so she had to soften her attitude and continue to protest her injustice.
"Humph, innocent? I'm not the only one who went to the cold palace today. How can he be innocent?"
Emperor Yongping didn't want to dwell on this matter any more. Sheng Anguo's palace rules were not just for show.
No matter who Zhang Yongmou is, he can't get away with it today when all the evidence points to him.
"I beg the emperor to spare Mou'er. He is the only legitimate son of the Cheng'en Marquisate. Nothing can happen to him."
Concubine Xian knew that things had come to this point and she had no way out and could do nothing but beg for mercy.
"If nothing happens to him, then nothing can happen to my harem? In your heart, are the rules of the royal family less important than your Cheng'en Marquisate?"
It would be fine if we didn't mention the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion, but Emperor Yongping would get even angrier if we did.
When the Queen Mother was still alive, she often asked him to take care of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
The care they took was so great that they actually ended up neglecting the palace rules and the royal family's reputation.
"No, that's not what I meant."
Concubine Xian was shaking her head anxiously.
She is an elder in the palace and is more familiar with palace rules than anyone else.
If a man causes chaos in the harem, the concubines will be given poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk, while the outsiders will be beaten to death directly.
Giving her a chance to defend Zhang Yong today is already giving enough face to the Cheng'en Marquisate.
"Lin Fu, deal with him according to palace rules."
Emperor Yongping didn't even look at Concubine Xian and directly ordered Lin Fu to take people to carry out the execution.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you can't do that..."
Concubine Xian was unable to defend herself, but she still wanted to struggle.
But everyone knows that it is useless to struggle further.
Since ancient times, unless one is unaware or has some conspiracy.
Otherwise, no emperor could tolerate a foreign man secretly entering the harem and flirting with concubines.
Moreover, Zhang Yongmou's incident caused such a big commotion that it would be embarrassing for the royal family if he was not dealt with.
"Also, Concubine Xian has disregarded palace rules and allowed her nephews to enter the palace and do whatever they want. Effective immediately, she will be demoted to a concubine, and her title... should still be Xian."
Seeing that she was still making a fuss, Emperor Yongping issued this oral order again.
Alas, if it weren't for the fact that she gave birth to two princes, she would not even be able to keep her life after what we found out today.
Forget it. That's it.
Emperor Yongping pressed his eyebrows, really not wanting to see Concubine Xian again, so he waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs and palace servants to send her away quickly.
Concubine Xian was soon sent back to Huixi Palace.
In the main hall of Huixi Palace, the palace maid who had already slapped herself fifty times was still kneeling there.
It's not that she didn't want to leave, but Concubine Xian was very strict with rules. Leaving without her permission would be regarded as disrespecting the master and would be punished by beating.
"Drag him away and behead him."
Concubine Xian looked fiercely at the bruised palace maid and forced these words out from between her teeth.
It was such an important matter, but just because she scolded him, he didn't dare to say it?
It's all this palace maid's fault. She killed her own nephew.
Concubine Xian didn't realize her problem until now.
If she hadn't deliberately planned to harm someone, how could her nephew from her mother's side have entered the palace and lost his life?
“Ahhh~ah…”
The palace maid's mouth was so swollen that she couldn't open it. She only uttered a few "ah" sounds before someone covered her mouth and dragged her away.
She probably never expected that after waiting for several hours, she would end up like this.
After everyone in the study had left, Emperor Yongping asked Lin Fu to summon the imperial physician, while he himself summoned Long Wei to inquire about the situation in Fengming Palace.
"What is going on in Fengming Palace?"
Emperor Yongping had Long Wei investigate the Empress for nearly a month, and there was some progress on the matter of the Worm Valley.
After the incident with the crow, there was the inexplicable gray-white bug that appeared on the empress’s head on Chu Qinshu’s third birthday.
There were also a large number of snakes, insects, rats and ants that appeared in Fengming Palace on the first night of the New Year.
If today's mice were also heading for the Fengming Palace, then it would mean that the Empress was indeed carrying a worm in her body.
"In reply to the emperor, a large number of rats began to appear in Fengming Palace after midnight last night.
The mice did not go anywhere outside the Fengming Palace. They gnawed everything they could in the Fengming Palace, even the flowers, plants and trees in the garden.
Especially in the main hall and the Empress' bedroom, there was no place to step. The palace maids and eunuchs killed rats before dawn, but the Empress did not ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for help. "
Long Wei, who was staring at Fengming Palace, wanted to tell Emperor Yongping about this early in the morning, but when he saw that the Empress did not report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did not say anything more.
"Also, the Empress sent someone to invite the Imperial Master. I overheard their conversation and it seems that the Imperial Master has the ability to ward off beasts, but he can only ward off birds and beasts in the Worm Valley. He cannot control things outside.
The Imperial Master also said that he had a medicine that, if added to water and sprinkled on the floor, would kill the rats as soon as they touched it.
Long Wei reported everything he saw and heard in Fengming Palace to Emperor Yongping.
"Well, besides the Imperial Master, have there been other men who have been to Fengming Palace?"
Emperor Yongping pondered for a while and was sure that it was a foregone conclusion that the Empress was carrying worms.
The story about the two cuckolds couldn't be fake.
Alas, it was the harem that misled him.
The king of a country was cheated on by the queen.
I wonder if the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum would collectively lift up their coffin lids to attack him after knowing this.
Humph! When he finds those two evil people who dared to bring shame to the royal family, he will grind them to dust.
"No, since I started watching over Fengming Palace, I have only seen the Imperial Master go there a few times."
Long Wei reported the facts.
Before, every time he saw the Imperial Master go to Fengming Palace, he would report this to Emperor Yongping.
Every time the Imperial Master went there, he would deal with snakes, insects, rats and ants, and after dealing with them he would run away faster than a rabbit.
He really didn't see anything wrong.
"Okay, keep watching, and report back if you see anything unusual."
After Emperor Yongping finished speaking, he waved his hand to signal Long Wei to retreat.
Long Wei replied "yes" and disappeared.
Chu Qinshu stared at Long Wei the whole time, with sparks of admiration in her eyes.
A living Dragon Guard. She had only seen him in books and TV dramas in her previous life.
Unexpectedly, she would see the truth in this life.
“Ahhh.”
[Long Wei is so handsome, Long Wei is so powerful, he comes in a flash and disappears in a flash. Shu'er also wants to learn martial arts and become as powerful as Long Wei.]
Chu Qinshu babbled and uttered a bunch of baby talk that outsiders couldn't understand.
The hands and feet were waving and kicking, just like practicing real martial arts.
"You little guy, do you want to learn from Long Wei because he's so good?"
Emperor Yongping tapped Chu Qinshu's head and pretended to tease her.
Actually, he had an immature idea.
He wanted to ask Chu Qinshu if she knew where his two green hats were.
But he hadn't figured out how to ask.
Alas, it’s all the fault of the two dragon guards who were sent to the prince’s house to keep an eye on Eighteen and Nineteen.
It's been almost a month, and there's still no news.
