Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 599
Emperor Xian De and Su Wan returned to Qinzheng Hall with a child in their hands.

Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan seemed to be stimulated, they couldn't fall asleep at all, and they were very clingy to Su Wan, they wouldn't let her go at all, so Su Wan could only stay with them.

Originally, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan had already slept separately, but this time, Su Wan slept together again in order to accompany them.

On the contrary, it was Emperor Xian De who was kicked away by Su Wan and went to sleep by himself.

Emperor Xian De knew he was wrong, touched his nose, and went to the vacant room alone.

Su Wan patiently comforted the two little guys. In order to coax them, she even took out a trump card and told them about "Journey to the West". The little guy became excited again, and couldn't fall asleep anymore, pulling Su Wan to ask questions.

For example, how can monkeys talk?How can it pop out of the stone?I also asked them if they could also have a somersault cloud, what can 72 transform into, and so on.

Su Wan had no choice but to count sheep with them, and they finally fell asleep.

Children are very forgetful, after a good night's sleep, they basically forget what happened last night, and only remember a lawless grandson who pestered Su Wan to continue telling them stories.

Su Wan couldn't stand being entangled by them. At the same time, she felt sorry for them. She wanted to make them completely forget what happened yesterday, so she told them a few more paragraphs, and even specially drew the image of Sun Monkey, and asked people to sit down for a few minutes. The Monkey King doll, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan really like it very much.

When Emperor Xiande saw Su Wan telling stories to the two little guys, he didn't care at first, he just thought that Su Wan was teasing them, but unexpectedly, he also became addicted to listening to it, and urged Su Wan to tell it quickly, Su Wan gave him a big roll of eyes.

There are so many government affairs piled up, and he doesn't deal with them, but he still has the leisure to listen to his stories. Is this a sneak in from a busy schedule, or is he lazy on purpose?
Emperor Xian De let her make jokes, but just insisted on not leaving.

At the same time, the news about Empress Ning's assassination of the emperor finally got out. In less than half a day, it had spread throughout the entire capital, causing an uproar.

After everyone heard the news, they were shocked at first, and then couldn't believe it.

Empress Ning has a good reputation. Even in recent years, because of the rise of the imperial concubine, she has been silent for a long time, but her reputation is not fake. Everyone's impression of her is still that of the former virtuous queen. .

Who would have thought that Queen Ning, who has always been virtuous and virtuous, would commit such a heinous crime?

Some people even made conspiracy theories, thinking that Queen Ning was framed.However, Empress Ning sent people to assassinate the emperor, which was seen by many people. The evidence was conclusive. She herself had pleaded guilty, and she did have the motive to kill the emperor. The people she complained about also disappeared.

If Empress Ning really assassinated the emperor and ended up like this, then she deserved it.

It's a pity for the Ning family, I'm afraid the Nine Clans will be implicated.

And the He family, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who was engaged to the second prince, was also implicated and sent to prison. Even if they were released in the future, they would have to be stripped of their skins, and they might not even be able to be an official. It's bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Some people can't help feeling sorry for the He family.

But some people sneered endlessly, thinking that the He family deserved it.

Why don't other people get married with the second prince, instead, it's their daughter who got into the queen's eyes?
Could it be that their daughter is better than others?

It's just nonsense, it must be that they want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, and they want to have the merits of the dragon, so they agreed to marry the second prince.

This is their own choice, now that they are suffering the consequences, what is there to be pitiful about?

The empress committed an unforgivable crime. Even those who had a very good personal relationship with the Ning family did not dare to say a word for them.

No one would joke about the lives of their own family!

Whoever gets involved will die, this is a big taboo, there is no love at all.

The emperor's verdict on Empress Ning, the second prince and the Ning family came down soon.

Originally, based on the crime of Empress Ning, the death penalty was properly imposed. If it was more decent, it would be to give white silk, poisoned wine and a dagger. If it was an undignified death, it would be beheaded in public.

However, Emperor Xian De did not grant her death, but spared her life instead.

Because for Empress Ning, death is actually a kind of relief.

Emperor Xian De obviously didn't want Empress Ning to die so easily. If he had a little affection for Empress Ning before, now, this trace of affection has already been transformed into hatred and deep loathing , as he said before, he wished he could tear her to pieces.

The nine clans of the Ning family were all imprisoned, those over the age of 16 were sentenced to death, and those under the age of 16 were exiled.

Empress Ning knew that the second prince was bestowed to death, and after the Ning family's verdict, her whole body collapsed. She was in so much pain that she was almost overwhelmed by guilt, regret and deep hatred. In less than five days, he died in prison.

Because Empress Ning and the second prince were felons, and they were expelled from the royal family, and they could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death. Emperor Xiande didn't do anything wrong, and asked them to collect their corpses, and buried them in two thin coffins. , Don't even think about enjoying the sacrifice.

After Empress Ning, Second Prince and others were arrested, Su Wan didn't pay attention to their news, let alone intervene in this matter.

Of course she hated Empress Ning, hated her for attacking Emperor Xiande and Tuantuan, causing her to almost lose the most important person in her life, but at the same time, she felt a little sympathetic to her, because everything she did was for the two The prince can ascend to the throne.

Changing places, if she was placed in the position of Empress Ning, she might not be willing to give up the crown prince.However, it is impossible for her to be as insane as Queen Ning.

When Empress Ning and the second prince were imprisoned, the fifth princess Liang Jing often came to beg her. She seemed to have recognized her, and instead of begging the emperor, she begged her, the imperial concubine, and knelt outside Yongning Palace for a day One night, he didn't give up until he knelt down and passed out.
