The third prince saw how his father was forcing his mother and concubine so hard, and struggled to stand in front of Concubine Shu, "Father, it's not good for the sons and ministers, if you want to punish the sons and daughters, you should punish the sons and daughters, it has nothing to do with the mother and concubine... "

"It's irrelevant, it's not crying when you don't see the coffin." The old emperor looked at the scene of deep love between mother and child, as if he saw the queen standing in front of him protecting the eldest son. He didn't soften his heart back then, so what now? Relentless?
Concubine Shu saw that the wound on her son's body was still oozing blood, her face was already pale, the old emperor was so cruel, no matter how wrong his son was, it was his own fault, she couldn't help but look at the old emperor accusingly.

Little did he know that this angered the old emperor even more. The old emperor clapped his hands a few times, and two more women were escorted in. One was a low-ranking concubine in the harem, and the other was the woman who spilled wine on Chang Xi at the banquet. , The look of the depressed two people is somewhat similar in appearance.

The old emperor sat back on the futon again, and he didn't speak again, but he was instructed to be fair, "Ms. Concubine Shu, Lady Ning Gui has always been one of your henchmen. This time, in order to cooperate with your plan, she came to her My younger sister, Mrs. Zhang, the wife of the sixth-rank official in Beijing, used Zhang's trick to lure out the daughter of the Han family, and then you took the opportunity to slander the daughter of the Han family for assassinating His Royal Highness the third prince, and intend to use this incident to blame His eldest grandson. ..."

"No, it's not like this..." Concubine Shu refused to plead guilty, "Your Majesty, this is all slander, it is the conspiracy of the eldest grandson, yes, it is his conspiracy..."

"Mother, stop talking."

It was useless for the third prince to stop the mother and concubine's dying struggle. The father's heart was deviated the moment the little bastard came back. He didn't see their mother and son at all, and it would be useless to argue now.

"Are you refusing to plead guilty to death?" The old emperor looked at Concubine Shu coldly, "Okay, very good, I don't need you to plead guilty, come and reward Concubine Shu with a three-foot white silk, and she will be reduced to a common man after death." .”

Concubine Shu fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, looking at the old emperor with disbelief, did she end up serving him all her life?

She suddenly remembered that many years ago, as a winner, she went to the queen's bedroom to laugh at her as a loser, mocking her that she would die badly. At that time, the queen looked at her with pity, "Concubine Shu, believe it or not, Many years later, you will definitely follow in my footsteps, this is the fate of women in the palace, I can't escape it, and you can't escape it either, remember, the debt you owe me will eventually be repaid, I will wait for you in the underworld."

She didn't believe in this curse at all at the time. If the queen had the ability to take revenge, why would she seek death?So for so many years, she never had nightmares, and she laughed in her heart that the queen didn't even have the ability to turn into a ghost to seek revenge, and she didn't even dare to enter her dreams.

But today, facing the same ending as the queen, she couldn't help shivering. It turned out that there was a curse. It turned out that she would pay the blood debt after all. No, no, no, she didn't accept such a fate, so she cried and begged the old man again. The emperor spared her life.

The old emperor didn't even look at her, and waved his hand directly.

The company knew it, and immediately instructed the little eunuch to gag Concubine Shu and drag her down to execute the death penalty. At this moment, there was a bit of satisfaction in his eyes, and Concubine Shu, who is domineering, has today.

The third prince was completely frightened. He didn't expect his father to be so heartless. He said that his mother and concubine would be executed without any sympathy. Seeing his mother and concubine disappearing in front of his eyes like this, he clenched his sleeves tightly. Fist, biting his lips tightly, not letting himself open his mouth to plead for the concubine mother, he had to live, so that he would have the opportunity to avenge the concubine mother in the future.

The old emperor kept staring at this son, seeing that he was silent, he couldn't help but feel even more disappointed, and immediately decreed that the third prince should be imprisoned in the mansion, without his order, he was not allowed to leave the mansion.

The third prince recovered his life and did not dare to do it again. After saluting and kowtowing respectfully, he was taken out like a bereaved dog.

When Zhao Jin walked into the old emperor's bedroom, he passed the third prince. The eyes of the uncle and nephew did not meet, as if they were strangers.

Whenever he enters this sleeping hall, he always feels extremely gloomy. This time the sword took a slant. He didn't think he was smart enough to hide the truth. The old emperor's handling of Concubine Shu's mother and child meant that he knew everything. Time to be smart.

"Are you aware of your mistake?" The old emperor was still sitting on the futon, looking at Zhao Jin with cloudy eyes, with an inexplicable expression.

Zhao Jin has been secretly trying to figure out what the old emperor was thinking, and the four words of revenge for his father cannot be said, so he said directly, "The grandson is just treating him in the same way as others, and I want them to feel the same way. , there are not many people my grandson cherishes in this world, and they put their ideas on the people my grandson cares about, if my grandson can bear it, then what is the difference between him and a tortoise?"

This remark brought a bit of indignation, this was the first time the old emperor saw him showing a manly side during this period, which was different from his eldest son who was known for his gentleness, but it also made him re-examine this grandson.

"Then you think you're not wrong?"

"Yes, but it's not entirely true." I just wish I didn't kill him completely.

The answer sounded ambiguous, but the old emperor remained silent. He explained the sentence with his own knowledge, thinking that Zhao Jin regretted taking action against his uncle, so he still had some affection in his eyes, which made him instantly I feel a little better, at least not everyone misses family affection.

"Your uncle was at fault in this matter first, but you are also at fault. You shouldn't take advantage of the opportunity and punish you to stay at home and think about it for half a month."

Compared with the punishment of the third prince, this punishment is an understatement. When the palace servants in the room heard it, they couldn't help but look sideways at Zhao Jin. They all felt that the old emperor's scale was tilting towards the eldest grandson. With this understanding , They couldn't help but feel agitated in their hearts.

After Zhao Jin went out, Mr. Si stepped forward to help the old emperor to go back to bed.

"Xiao Sizi?"

"Your servant is here." Si Gonggong hurriedly knelt down. Under the old emperor's oppressive gaze, he did not dare to hide any more, but confessed, "Your Majesty, this servant is guilty. matter, but the slaves watched with cold eyes..." He even secretly added fuel to the flames, "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"You did what Jiang Xing did?"

Mr. Si thought of the miserable situation of his godfather in the past, and he didn't dare to hide it from the old emperor any longer, so he kowtowed and said, "Yes, when the servant entered the palace, he...he did obscene things to the servant in the name of adopting sons, and the servant treated him He hated it to the bone, but the servants did not frame him, but sent him to the place where he should go by taking advantage of the wind of overturning the case for the former prince."

The old emperor looked at the young servant who was kneeling in front of him. When this person appeared in his line of sight, he had already figured out his origin. And how could he not know about Jiang Xing's flaws?
Keeping him was originally to restrain Jiang Xing. Now that Jiang Xing, who has been with him for half his life, is gone, and this person is still useful. He has used it quite smoothly during this time, so let's keep him for now.

"Get up, if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly."

The company, who was sweating coldly on his forehead because of fear, felt alive again at this moment. This time he escaped from the dead, he must act more secretly in the future, and he can no longer contact the eldest grandson for the time being. Carefully serve the old emperor to bed.

Concubine Shu was executed by the three-foot white silk a few years ago, and after her death, she was mourned as a commoner, and the mansion of the third prince she came from was surrounded, and she was not allowed to enter or leave. This made the atmosphere in the capital tense again. I don't know what medicine is sold in the old emperor's gourd, so how can there be any Chinese New Year atmosphere?
Feng Shoufu pleaded guilty on the grounds that he had no way to teach his granddaughter, saying that he was old and incompetent, and asked to return to his hometown after the end of the year.

The old emperor put down the booklet and refused to issue it, and directly refused to approve it. Feng Shoufu had no choice but to stay in the position of the first assistant as if walking on thin ice.

Chang Xi heard about these changes in the court from Wei Guangnan. She hadn't met Zhao Jin since the banquet that day. When she heard that he was ordered to contemplate behind closed doors for half a month, she was deeply relieved. After all, This time, he was stepping on a tightrope. As long as he didn't grasp the old emperor's mind, it would be another situation.

"Now the power of the third prince has been hit hard, so it's a good thing for the eldest grandson." Wei Guangnan chuckled lightly.

Even the Wei family is now taking advantage of the situation to cut seats with the third prince and no longer have secret contacts. This time the third prince wanted to use Chang Xi to bring down Zhao Jin, but he didn't take the Wei family into his eyes at all, and there was no need for the Wei family to flirt with him anymore. .

Chang Xi did not deny Wei Guangnan's words, but it was also this personal experience that gave her a deeper understanding of the struggle for succession. She no longer intends to just beat the side drums, but should participate more actively in this war, after all Winner takes all.

This year was not peaceful, and when the court officially resumed work after the year, the old emperor issued a decree to officially rehabilitate the abolished prince and posthumously posthumously designate him as Crown Prince Duande. People's tablets are placed in the Taimiao to enjoy the incense.

The empress who was implicated by her son and killed herself in anger was originally buried in the concubine's dormitory, but now she is moved back to the emperor's mausoleum to be buried together with the old emperor a hundred years later.

As for the officials implicated back then, they have also been rehabilitated, and many of them have their reputations restored, including the family members of the Crown Princess Ling, who were also sent to a place of bitter cold back then, and now they can all return to the capital.

When many people received the news, they knelt down and kowtowed for the emperor's kindness, and finally watched the moonlight as the clouds opened.

After learning that his elder brothers would be back in a few days, master Shi Liu cried to tears. With this decree, his fame and fame can be restored. Is this recovery still far away?

Cai also cried with her husband, feeling even more sorry for her daughter's untimely death. If she could live to this day, how beautiful it would be.

But the past can no longer be traced, she lives in the present, so she has to plan for the future. In the end, she no longer secretly resisted her husband's orders, but treated the few good-looking girls who were adopted from the clan sincerely. After several years of careful training, there may be gains in the future.

What was lost by her family's sister Quan who died young, she wanted to regain it in another way.

What the aunt did was seen by Shi Biying in the dark, she couldn't help curling her lips ironically, the aunt would shoot herself in the foot sooner or later, and she had to lie down patiently, waiting for the opportunity.
