The Virtuous Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 76

And wanting to harm Jiaorong is precisely a huge minefield in the emperor's heart. If he dares to touch this point, the emperor will naturally not give good fruit to eat.

After listening to the emperor's words, no one below made a sound, everyone lowered their heads and didn't move much.There is only one lucky shoe, and his small eyes are looking around. He was just brought here by the way. With his skills, the dishes he cooks can't serve the tables of the ladies in the harem.Fortunately, the guard watching Fulu was Xida, so he was not strict enough to prevent blood from being drawn on his neck.

Fu Lu subconsciously wanted to look at Wang Dawei, but Xida noticed his intention, and quickly pressed him hard with a knife, signaling him not to look around.

"They are all quite loyal." The emperor squinted his eyes, and said this sentence abruptly, his tone was very indifferent, but with a trace of murderous intent, "But loyalty depends on the object of allegiance. In the entire Forbidden City, only I am your biggest." Master, since you choose to be loyal to others, don’t blame me for driving you and your master to death.”

Hearing this, although Wang Dawei was a little flustered, he still calmed down and didn't speak.After all, this time Chengqian Palace was only poisoned by a court lady, and even the poison was stopped in time, so she couldn't die at all.He is a thoughtful person, he has already hidden the bag of silver that he collected in a place where he cannot be searched, as long as he kills himself and does nothing, the emperor will not be able to ask even if he wants to.

But who knows, in the next second, the emperor stared at them and chuckled, and said coldly: "Since this is the case, I don't need to send people to search you, everyone will be sent to the Punishment Department immediately." , if all the punishments of the Punishment Division have been used and no one has been recruited, then you all lose your heads together."

Hearing this, all the people on the ground below widened their eyes in disbelief, couldn't kneel anymore, struggled one by one, and shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty! The slave is wronged! The slave really didn't do anything!" ! The slave doesn’t want to go to the Punishment Division! The slave didn’t do anything!”

Not only the detainees below, but even Liang Jiugong beside the emperor looked at the emperor instantly, with a disbelief on his face: "Your majesty, this is impossible!"

Just because there is a gangster who is behind the scenes, all the people here are going to be beheaded. This is completely an act of a tyrant. If this is spread, the emperor's reputation in the court over the years will be completely ruined.

But the emperor just glanced at Liang Jiugong indifferently, completely ignoring him, his face was still calm and composed as before.

Wang Dawei didn't expect the emperor to be so decisive, his face suddenly darkened, it was uglier than coal.Xida noticed that Wang Dawei's hands were clenched into fists, and he was clenching his teeth, as if he was fighting against his heart.

The lives of his family members are in the hands of Li Changzai's clan. If he confesses Li Changzai, not only will he not be able to escape his own death, but his family members will also suffer together.

The people below have already become a mess, and those who did nothing but went to the Criminal Division to suffer are all crying and complaining, and even Fu Lu is among them, but he is obviously not a nervous person. Because of fear, but for the occasion.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged! You must not let this servant go to the Punishment Department! There are old and young in this servant's family, so this servant must not die!" Fu Lu cried out in a very artificial way, his tone was ridiculous. Very long.

In the end, Xida couldn't listen any more, and took advantage of the fact that the emperor didn't notice, she directly covered Fu Lu's broken mouth.

At this moment, a young eunuch in the back couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted in fear: "Your Majesty! This servant knows!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and turned to look at the little eunuch.The moment Wang Dawei turned his head, the expression on his whole face was on the verge of collapse.

This person is the little eunuch who follows Wang Dawei to deliver meals every day. He is called by Wang Dawei to be his younger brother on weekdays, and his personality is quite timid and weak.

At this moment, the little eunuch was led by the imperial guards and rushed to the emperor. Because of the fear of the Punishment Department, the little eunuch was frightened into tears. He kowtowed to the emperor without even thinking about it. : "Your Majesty, this servant knows everything! I beg you to spare this servant's life!"

Regarding this, the emperor looked the little eunuch up and down, and didn't think that the little eunuch's innocence could do such a thing as poisoning.He sighed, and said softly: "Tell me first, what do you know."

The little eunuch wiped his tears with his hands, and in the next second, he turned his head and pointed at Wang Dawei behind him: "It's the prince who delivered the meal! The poison of the Chengqian Palace was caused by him twice." Yes, the prince received bribes from Jingyang Palace twice, and forced the servants not to speak out, otherwise Li Changzai will drive us all out of the Forbidden City!"

Hearing this, Wang Dawei's expression instantly turned grim. Regardless of the guards behind him, he stood up immediately and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about! When have I ever been bribed!"

Unexpectedly, the little eunuch was very stubborn. He stared at Wang Dawei fiercely, and said loudly, "Do you think I don't know where you hid the silver? You hid in the tiles under the southeast corner wall of Jingyang Palace. I followed you when delivering meals, but I saw everything!"

Hearing this, Liang Jiugong looked at a former imperial eunuch knowingly, and said softly, "Go find it."

At this moment, Wang Dawei suddenly panicked, his eyes opened wide, his pupils vibrated, and he was a little panicked when he spoke: "Your Majesty! Don't believe what he says! He is just a kid who has only been in the palace for a few weeks. , I don’t understand anything, I don’t know who was deceived, and I came to slander the slave!”

The emperor didn't even look at Wang Dawei, caressing the jade finger on his thumb, looked at the little eunuch and said: "You just said that he was bribed by Li Changzai from Jingyang Palace?"

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was much gentler, the little eunuch sniffed his nose a few times, and stopped sobbing, and said firmly: "Yes, Li Chang was demoted last time because of sister Jiaorong. The palace has lost all face, so I always hate sister Jiaorong, this time the poison is specifically for poisoning sister Jiaorong!"

"You kid, how dare you talk nonsense!" Wang Dawei was obviously in a hurry, and was about to rush over without saying a word. Several imperial guards next to him pointed their knives at Wang Dawei in an instant, and surrounded him tightly.

The emperor was silent for a while, and asked softly: "What evidence do you have for what you said?"

Hearing the sound, the little eunuch thought for a moment, then calmly replied: "There is something involved with the Li family in the royal family, the emperor can send someone to investigate."
