The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 538
Seeing this, King Xiao raised his leg and kicked it.

The noble concubine who hadn't gotten close was kicked away by him in an instant, she hit the wall and fell to the ground, and the dagger hit her heart so hard that she couldn't die.

Seeing myself planning for so long, but ended up like this.

The blood in his mouth couldn't help but spurted out, and then Concubine Qiangui stared at King Xiao and said.

"Don't think that you can sit back and relax if Ben Gong dies... just wait and see... Great Wei's country will be over sooner or later!"

"People who are about to die, their mouths are still so dirty. When the Spirit King was dying, he was not as hard-boned as you."

"you!"

Concubine Qiangui was seriously injured, but King Xiao kept prodding her.

Then, he opened his mouth and said.

"Speaking of which, the third brother of this king is not smart, otherwise how could he be deceived by your self-directed and self-acted dramas? I have been imagining how the father and the prince will persecute you all day long. If he knows those You did the assassination, poisoning, and arson, what do you think?"

"Hahaha, now that things are going on, Bengong...what else is there to be afraid of? No...otherwise, how could it provoke him to rebel?"

Hearing Concubine Qiangui's confession, the corners of King Xiao's mouth rose.

Facing the outside, he raised it, "Bring it in."

"Yes."

Seeing that there were four capable personal guards outside, they brought in the immobile King Ling, his eyes were full of disbelief and regret after being cheated.

I can't move my hands and feet, and I can't speak with my mouth.

However, Concubine Qiangui's scalp felt numb for a while.

Repeatedly said.

"No, no! No..."

While talking, he coughed up blood, the color of the blood changed from red to black just now, it looked like he had been poisoned.

King Xiao glanced at the short blade, and couldn't help but feel that he had committed a crime and couldn't live.

Concubine Qian Gui wanted to explain, but was powerless.

The toxin spread too fast, and her emotions were too agitated, so she finally died in the spirit king's resentment towards her.

The eyes didn't even close.

Occasionally, a few crows and sparrows flashed outside, revealing a sense of desolation.

After confirming that Concubine Qiangui was dead, King Xiao unlocked King Ling's acupoints.

The whole body was able to move again, but Ling Wang didn't respond at all.

Staring blankly at the tragic death in front of her mother, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

After so many years, he turned out to be a pawn in the hands of others.

I thought it was a desperate fight this time, but I didn't expect it to end like this.

First it was dull, then it was a sneer, and then it became a wail.

A grown man in his twenties cried more sadly than a child.

King Xiao looked at it, and he couldn't bear it for a moment, but he also understood that King Ling must die today, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

So he kept silent and let him vent his emotions.

I don't know how long it has passed, the night seems to have turned white, probably it is almost dawn.

King Ling's red and swollen eyes could no longer shed too many tears, and at this moment, he was more sad than heartbroken.

Looking at the sky outside, I don't know what he is thinking in his heart.

After a while, he whispered.

"Where's the medicine? Bring it."

The voice was full of calmness, and those who didn't know it thought that what he was going to drink was a life-saving elixir, not a life-threatening poison.

King Xiao passed the medicine bottle from his arms, his eyes were dim.

One last word.

"Third brother, let's go, your wife, concubine and children, this king will make proper arrangements."

King Ling laughed miserably when he heard this.

Winners and losers have remained unchanged since ancient times.

So what if one life is left behind?
Prosperity, wealth, fame and power are all destined to miss them.

But at the moment, he takes all these very lightly, probably in his heart, no one has ever walked in.

He raised his head and drank it down, and it didn't take long before he felt unbearable abdominal pain.

When the first ray of sunshine fell on Lingwang Mansion, everything returned to normal.

Ten days later, Concubine Ling went to the court, saying that King Ling had an emergency, and Yaoshi passed away without a doctor, and Concubine Qiangui, who had been ill all this time, heard the news and followed her.

For a time, both mother and son died, and the government and the opposition were discussing endlessly.

Some people suspected that there was something tricky behind this, so they asked the prince in charge of the country to investigate thoroughly.

So an urgent order came from Shengjing City.

The commander of the Zhang family army in Cezhou and the prefect made a thorough investigation together, and accidentally found evidence that the deputy commander of the army intended to rebel.

It turned out that the sudden death of the Ling King was actually related to this!

The deputy commander failed to win him over, so he sent someone to kill King Ling.

In the end, he didn't expect that he would show his feet so quickly. When he was captured, his mouth was stuffed with cloth strips. Even if he wanted to cry out, there was nothing he could do.

The ironclad evidence is like a mountain, pull out the radish and bring out the mud.

The entire Zhang family army was purged up and down, and all those who had different intentions were singled out and punished according to their crimes.

The mighty Cezhou conspiracy was finally settled in the scorching summer.

King Ling was "innocently killed", so naturally he should be rewarded.

But the others were gone, so all the rewards fell on the Lingwang Mansion.

The princess was grateful for the benevolence of the prince, and the court helped their orphans and widowed mothers, so Dayi turned these rewards into various rice, flour, grain and oil, and distributed them in the name of the court and the prince in Cezhou.

For a while, the common people became more and more grateful to Wei Wei.

In the east palace of Shengjing City, the corner of the prince's mouth couldn't help but look up when he saw the secret report sent by his younger brother King Xiao.

"Sister-in-law San is smart."

Besides Zeng Konghou, Lin Ying, who returned from injury, and several others were by his side.

They are all ministers of the future prince's humerus, so this matter is not hidden from them.

"Send an order to the sixth younger brother to let the people in the dark guard camp keep an eye on the Lingwang Mansion. If there is no abnormality, the prince will keep them safe for the rest of their lives. If there is any abnormality, there is no need to show mercy."

"Yes."

The heart of an emperor should be as hard as a stone.

And what the prince is doing at this moment is nothing more than what he should do from his standpoint.

Lin Ying led the order to leave the East Palace study, and the others also left after taking a look at the inexplicable atmosphere between the crown prince and Mr. Zeng.

Zeng Konghou still looked reluctant to say more, but the prince had put on a new face from the seriousness just now, and said to Zeng Konghou with a flattering expression.

"I've been busy dealing with the affairs of Cezhou these days. The prince hasn't been to the Zeng Mansion for quite some time. I don't know what happened to Ling Shuang?"

Zeng Konghou replied calmly.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, my sister is fine."

"Well, that's good. Father and mother have sent letters from Lushan Academy, asking when the prince will marry Ling Shuang into the East Palace. What does Master Zeng think?"

"Your Highness probably lied to me about this matter. Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and your concubine is understanding. How could you ask such a thing?"
