You sanctimonious hypocrites, why don’t I know what I’m talking about, you don’t dare to listen, you all think I’m talking about the central issue, right?hehe! "

The new emperor looked at Concubine Hui's unrepentant look, and his complexion was very ugly. Since this Concubine Hui was unrepentant, he didn't need to say any more. He looked at Li Jing with a cold face, and the two looked at each other for a while After reaching some kind of common idea, he ordered directly.

"Today, Concubine Hui has a vicious mind, deceived the emperor, committed crimes, and harmed the royal family. The death of the empress dowager was caused by Concubine Hui. I have decided that at noon tomorrow, I will behead Concubine Hui for public display. I will punish the nine clans. I will not be allowed to be emperor in this life." Ling, make an example to others!"

The new emperor finished drafting the imperial edict with a cold face, and threw the imperial edict directly at the feet of Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui looked at the imperial edict on the ground, sat directly on the ground, and smiled sadly, "Xiao Wu, concubine mother is coming soon." I'm with you!"

As soon as Concubine Hui's voice fell, Li Jing saw her hand move, and a bad premonition flashed in her heart, and she was about to step forward to grab Concubine Hui's hand, when she pulled out a dagger even faster He stabbed himself in the abdomen, and blood spurted out immediately.

Li Jing frowned tightly watching the scene in front of him. He did not expect that Concubine Hui would be so desperate. He always thought that Concubine Hui was just trying to survive. Naturally, he did not expect that she would beg for death, so it was too late. took a step.

This sudden change also made those kneeling on the ground tremble uncontrollably, fearing that they would be the next victim.

Looking at this scene, the new emperor frowned tightly, and motioned for his father-in-law to come forward to check, and shook his head after his father-in-law confirmed that Concubine Hui was breathing, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is dead!"

When the new emperor heard the news, his face was very ugly. After he exchanged a glance with Li Jing, he screened the others away. Some palace servants came up and took the body of Concubine Hui down, leaving only the two brothers in the imperial study room.

"Fourth brother, look at this..."

Li Jing sighed after meeting the eyes of the new emperor, and shook his head, "I never thought that Concubine Hui would come out like this!"

This was also Li Jing's mistake, to let someone die in front of his eyes like this!
The new emperor looked at Li Jing's annoyed look and sighed deeply. Not only did Li Jing not expect it, but he also did not expect that before Concubine Hui committed suicide, all her performances were that she cherished her life, and there was no such thing at all. To think that she would hide a dagger in her robe!
"Forget it, since the person is dead now, the imperial decree will still be issued, at least an explanation must be given to everyone!"

"it is good."

Li Jing also agrees with the new emperor's decision. Concubine Hui must give everyone an explanation, whether it is inside or outside the palace!
Li Jing stayed in the imperial study for a while before leaving. Before leaving, he went to the Empress Dowager's place. The Empress Dowager had the right to know about this matter.

When Li Jing arrived at the Empress Dowager's place, the Empress Dowager was at the door, she turned her gaze to him when she saw him coming, and sighed deeply, "This Concubine Hui is really dead!"

Listening to the words of the Queen Mother, Li Jing knew that the Queen Mother had got the news, and nodded, "Even if she died simply, she will have to pay for everything she has done before!"

Concubine Hui did the things she did in the past, it would not be pity to die a few times, but this time, she died simply!
The Empress Dowager Xi nodded, this time Concubine Hui really did it all on her own accord!

"Mother, let's go to rest early. My son has gone back first. I haven't heard from you for so long. I'm afraid Yuexi will be worried."

The Empress Dowager replied, "Okay, you have to go back early, remember to take a bath first, so as not to let the smell of blood get on them."

"it is good."

After Li Jing returned from the Empress Dowager Xi's side, he originally wanted to go directly to Cui Yuexi, but suddenly he remembered what the Empress Dowager Xi said. After thinking about it, he went back to his room to take a bath before going to Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi didn't fall asleep much because she had something on her mind, so she felt it when Li Jing came in, and said, "Are you back?"

Li Jing paused when he heard Cui Yuexi's words, looked at Cui Yuexi through the dim light, and said softly, "Aren't you asleep yet?"

"Some can't sleep, have you taken a bath?"

Cui Yuexi smelled the fragrance of bathing on Li Jing after he approached, and frowned involuntarily.

Li Jing nodded and sat down beside Cui Yuexi, and told her what happened in the palace today.

"Grand Concubine Hui is indeed related to the death of my grandmother. I have found evidence to convict her, but I didn't expect that she committed suicide in the imperial study. I was close at that time, and I was a little bit bloody. I was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I went to the hospital first." I came to see you after taking a shower, but I didn't expect you to be asleep."

Li Jing's simple words contained a lot of information, Cui Yuexi looked at Li Jing in disbelief, "You just said that Concubine Hui has already convicted her? She is the murderer who killed grandma? "

"Well, but there should be someone behind her, we found a secret passage in her palace!"

Li Jing lifted Cui Yuexi's leg onto her body, and while pressing Cui Yuexi's swollen leg, she talked to Cui Yuexi about what happened today.

"Secret passages?"

Cui Yuexi is really a little horrified, there is a secret way in Concubine Hui's palace? !It seems that she really underestimated Concubine Hui!

"Well, the details are still being investigated, but Concubine Hui is dead, and she has done many hateful things during her lifetime. It can be said that she deserves her death!"

Cui Yuexi was still a little dazed when she heard Li Jing's words. The former Concubine Hui seemed to be a person with a strong desire to survive. She didn't expect that she would commit suicide, or she committed suicide in the imperial study room. Wouldn't this cause trouble for them?

"Did the emperor say something?"

Li Jing shook his head, and said slowly, "What can you say, brother? Concubine Hui died so simply, she was taken advantage of! The imperial decree about Concubine Hui will be promulgated in the capital city tomorrow."

Seeing this, Cui Yuexi didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that Li Jing had hardly slept these few days, her eyes flashed with distress, and she reached out to caress Li Jing's face, "You must be Are you tired?"

Li Jing felt the tenderness on his face, and when he met Cui Yuexi's distressed eyes, his heart softened, and he reached out and took Cui Yuexi's hand that was caressing her cheek, and put it on her lips for a soft kiss. There was a hint of warmth, "No, don't worry about me, just take good care of yourself, you don't have to wait for me to come back like this, you should rest more now, have you forgotten what the imperial doctor said?"

"I didn't forget, I just couldn't sleep today..."

"Why can't you sleep?"
