Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 534 Waiting (2)
But she never expected that the matter was not over yet.

"Yang Yong—" Emperor Xian De shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Without Emperor Xian De's orders, Yang Yong responded directly, and immediately said to the two eunuchs who were escorting Concubine Li: "Come on, slap your mouth!"

The two eunuchs nodded, one of them grabbed Concubine Li's hair to make her look up, and the other tall and strong eunuch walked up to Concubine Li and raised her palm with the size of a cattail fan. In the middle, she slapped her across the face, hitting Lipin until her eyes were staring, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen in an instant.

Yang Yong quickly told them to stop, after all, he had to continue to interrogate her, so he couldn't knock her out.

Emperor Xian De never looked there from the beginning to the end, his eyes were fixed on the "sleeping" Su Wan, because he always felt that she would wake up the next moment, and smiled and called him "Ah Hong" or "Your Majesty", he didn't want to miss the moment when she woke up. He hoped that when she opened her eyes, he would be the first person she saw.

"Tell me! What's going on?" After the noises in his ears stopped, Emperor Xiande asked calmly, "If you are willing to tell the truth and let the imperial concubine wake up, I may be able to give you a lighter punishment."

Li Pin felt extremely hated, but more of it was fear.Hearing Emperor Xian De's words, she shivered reflexively.

She thought that no matter what, the emperor should have some old feelings for her.As long as she refused to admit it, His Majesty would always save her life, but why did she never expect that His Majesty would be so ruthless to her, completely forgetting their years of relationship, and even forgetting that she gave birth to a daughter for him.

The man in front of him was so strange, as if he had changed into a different person.

He was nothing like the emperor she knew back then.

His Majesty back then was gentle, suave, courteous, compassionate, and occasionally a little cynical, but he was even more fascinating.Compared with his status as emperor, the emperor at that time was more like a son of a family.

Even if he doesn't like a woman, at most he just ignores her, doesn't care about her, and lets her fend for herself. Therefore, even if these women in the harem are thrown into limbo, even if they are framed and tortured, most of them don't care about her. They will hate His Majesty, and even still love him, at most, they have resentment towards His Majesty, and they hate those women even more.

However, since the imperial concubine appeared, His Majesty has changed. He no longer has the same pity and pity for them as before, and even punished the concubine for the imperial concubine many times.

She had never seen His Majesty look like this before, she looked at her as if she was looking at something dirty, it was too much to look at once, and she didn't even want to look at her a second time.

"Hurry up!" Seeing that Concubine Li didn't speak, Yang Yong hastily scolded.

Li Pin lowered her eyes, she was fighting fiercely in her heart.

She hated Su Wan so much in her heart that she didn't want her to wake up at all.

But if the imperial concubine really couldn't wake up, she might lose her life.

After thinking about it, she still couldn't admit it. She knew what "Witchcraft" meant, and if she admitted it, she would surely die.

When His Majesty said that she should be given a lighter punishment, she was simply lying to her.

Anyway, Nanny Xia is already dead, and she caused this matter, so let's push this matter to her.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is really innocent." Li Concubine cried pitifully, "Everything was done by Madam Xia on her own, and this concubine didn't even know about it. Besides, if it was really done by concubine, concubine How could the concubine be so stupid as to leave these evidences? Someone must have framed the concubine."

Emperor Xian De couldn't help laughing slightly when he heard this.

In fact, he didn't care if Concubine Li told the truth, anyway, he had no intention of letting him go from the beginning, he just wanted to find the culprit and avenge Wan'er.I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

What's more, Li Pin is not innocent at all.

Nanny Xia was originally hers, so there was a crime of ineffective control on her body.When it comes to the art of witchcraft, they have always been contemptuous. Who cares whether they are innocent or not, if you want to blame, blame the taboo person!
"Yang Yong, since she refuses to tell the truth, you can help her!" Emperor Xian De said, "I just want to know the result, regardless of life or death."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Yong responded with a bow, watching Concubine Li slightly raised the corners of her lips, showing a creepy smile.

Hearing this, Concubine Li felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she slumped on the ground all of a sudden.

But she quickly reacted and immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I am willing to tell the truth. Only my concubine knows where the puppet who cursed the imperial concubine is buried. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life!"

"Say!" Emperor Xian De lightly stroked Su Wan's long lock of hair, and said a word lightly.

Concubine Li bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Then His Majesty must promise to concubine that concubine will survive..."

"Yang Yong!" However, before she finished speaking, Emperor Xian De interrupted her, "Drag on!"

"No! Your Majesty—" Concubine Li shouted in horror, "Concubine is wrong, Concubine is willing to tell Your Majesty..."

"Gag her mouth!" Seeing that Emperor Xiande was already impatient, obviously his patience was exhausted, Yang Yong immediately ordered someone to gag Li Concubine's mouth, and looked at Li Concubine mockingly——

What time is it now, dare to negotiate with His Majesty, I really think His Majesty has nothing to do with her.Really do not know life and death.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Li Pin was gagged, but she still refused to give up, wanting to say something to His Majesty.

As soon as Yang Yong waved his hand, Concubine Li was dragged down by two strong eunuchs.

After Concubine Li was dragged down, Emperor Xian De suddenly said: "Continue to interrogate Hui Xin, I always feel that this matter is not so simple, let's go down!"

Yang Yong bowed and stepped back.

In the room, only Emperor Xian De and Su Wan were left. Emperor Xian De looked at Su Wan for a while, and said slowly: "Wan'er, it's already dawn, why are you still awake? Don't you want me to wake up?" , Don’t you want Tuantuan and Yuanyuan too?”

Unfortunately, Su Wan was still asleep and didn't respond to his words at all.

A trace of pain flashed across Emperor Xian De's face and eyes.

They had just made a life-and-death promise that they would never leave. Only a few days later, she left her in this way.

Is this a trick of good fortune, or is God just joking?

At this moment, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from outside. He didn't need to ask to know that Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan must have woken up and were clamoring to see them.

He closed his eyes slightly, calmed down his emotions, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Let them in."

The next moment, the two little guys ran in stomping, rushed towards the bed, and plunged into Emperor Xian De's arms.
