Chapter 129 Murder every step of the way, a stroke of genius (4)
As for the children of King Tie, fortunately they survived, but they were also demoted to common people. In addition to leaving them with a small amount of daily necessities, Emperor Xuanjing not only took back the mansion of King Tie, but also confiscated all his property. The treasury, in fact, has done enough.

As soon as this matter was over, seeing the different expressions of the officials in the palace, people were panicked, and Emperor Xuan Jing was also upset, so he immediately retreated to visit E concubine.

E concubine originally lived in a small remote place, but this time she sacrificed her life to save Emperor Xuan Jing, and her worth is naturally not what it used to be. Emperor Xuan Jing immediately issued an order to let her move to the East Sixth Palace where only concubines are eligible to live. One of the Treading Snow Halls, and immediately promoted her from the concubine to the noble concubine, the love for her can be seen.

After two days of recuperation, Concubine E Gui finally woke up, although her body was still very weak, but Zi Ning just helped her to see it, at least there was no fear of her life, all she needed was a good rest.

When Emperor Xuanjing stepped in, Huai Wei immediately knelt down and saluted, "See Your Majesty."

Zi Ning also lowered her body to salute, "Your Majesty."

"Get up, Huaiwei, you go down first!" Emperor Xuan Jing waved his hand, and then sat on the side of the bed, "It's good that I stay with E'er."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Huai Wei happily went out and closed the door.Although the emperor occasionally summoned the empress before, he didn't show much affection. Now it's all right, the emperor is finally moved by the empress's sincerity.

"Zi Ning resigns." Zi Ning turned around and was about to leave, when she looked at Concubine E Gui, only Concubine E Gui could understand.

"Zi Ning!" Emperor Xuan Jing stopped her, "How is E'er's injury?"

Zi Ning stopped and replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the empress's injuries have been brought under control, as long as she has a good rest, she will recover within a month."

"It's so good!" Emperor Xuan Jing didn't seem to intend to let Zi Ning go, and ordered, "Sit down and talk with me." He stared at Zi Ning's face completely unconsciously, and then sighed : Why does it look like this... But it can't, she is Li'er's princess...

Zi Ning secretly thought about his intentions, and also noticed that there was something strange in his eyes, she was secretly on guard, and sat down calmly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"E'er, does the wound still hurt badly?" Emperor Xuan Jing turned to Concubine E Gui, his eyes were very gentle, and he didn't dare to touch her, "Is there any discomfort?"

Since waking up from the injury, this was the first time Concubine Egui saw Emperor Xuan Jing, but she didn't look happy at all. Instead, she had pain, self-blame and anxiety on her face, and she struggled to get up, "Your Majesty..."

"Don't move!" Emperor Xuan Jing hurriedly supported her, "You are seriously injured, if you move around, be careful of the wound opening, be obedient, and lie down quickly!"

He only cared about helping Concubine E, but didn't notice that at this moment, Zi Ning winked at Concubine E: You can start now.

"Your Majesty, this concubine deserves death!" Concubine E Gui nodded without any trace, with a pale face, she knelt down on the bed enduring the pain, "This concubine deserves death, please the emperor give this concubine a death penalty!"

Emperor Xuanjing was surprised, "Why did you say that?" After finishing speaking, he suddenly said, "E'er, are you worried about your brother? Don't worry, I have never punished Iron King's family, let alone other people. , Li'er has already told me about your younger brother, and I have decided to bring him to the palace and have someone take care of him, but I am busy with state affairs, so I haven't told you yet."

Concubine Egui's younger brother is his father's elder brother, and he is only ten years old this year, so it is impossible for him to be implicated in the Iron King's matter. Moreover, as soon as Zi Ning and Jun Yeli decided to attack the Iron King, they had already sent Wuhua to secretly Sneaking into Prince Tie's mansion, first rescued her younger brother to explain Concubine Egui's concerns. Even if Emperor Xuan Jing didn't say anything, she was not worried about this.

"The emperor is so gracious, I can't afford it..." Concubine Egui burst into tears, "I'm guilty of death, please punish me..."

Emperor Xuan Jing frowned, and finally saw that something was wrong with Concubine E Gui, "E'er, please explain clearly what's going on."

Zi Ning took this opportunity to get up, "Your Majesty, Zi Ning resigns." Although Concubine E Gui's next words were instructed by her, she still had to do superficial skills, otherwise, if Emperor Xuan Jing became suspicious, all previous efforts would have been wasted.

"No need!" Emperor Xuan Jing refused to let her go, "E'er's life was saved by you, there is something you don't want to know, just sit down and judge me."

"Zi Ning, what virtue and ability!" Zi Ning showed embarrassment, "Besides, Zi Ning may be inconvenient about the matter of Egui's concubine—"

"My concubine is serious, I am ashamed of myself!" Of course, Concubine Egui followed Emperor Xuan Jing's words, "I also want to ask my concubine and His Royal Highness Mei Wang to help me take care of my younger brother after my concubine dies, and ask my concubine to stay. , listen to my concubine's words!"

"E'er, what's the matter with you?" Emperor Xuan Jing said displeasedly, "What's the matter, you are so desperate?" He waved his hands as he spoke, motioning Zi Ning to sit down.

Zi Ning stopped being pretentious and sat down again.

Concubine Egui bit her pale lips, her eyes were filled with shame, "I... I just ask the emperor to execute only one of my concubines, and let my younger brother be spared!"

"Tell me." Emperor Xuan Jing helped her to sit up, "I have my own opinion."

Concubine E Gui gasped twice, seeming to have made up her mind, and said in a hoarse voice, "Actually, King Tie's assassination of the emperor was...premeditated."

"Oh?" Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes lit up, and then his eyes turned cold, "How do you know?" One is his younger brother, the other is his concubine. Could it be that the two will conspire together?
He had forgotten that Concubine E Gui came from Prince Tie's mansion, could it be that the two of them are still inseparable and still have an old relationship?

"There is no personal relationship between the concubine and Tie Wang, the emperor is aware of it!" Seemingly knowing what Emperor Xuanjing was thinking, E Guifei quickly explained, "It's just...it's just that Tie Wang is ambitious and always wants to harm the emperor, but, but... There is no chance, so I, I came to threaten my body, if, if I don’t cooperate with him, I, I will kill my younger brother, so..."

Emperor Xuan Jing's eyes became colder, and he let go of his hand slowly, "So you conspired with King Iron to assassinate me?"

"I don't have any!" Concubine Egui was in a panic, struggling with the wound, gasping for breath in pain, "I also persuaded King Tie not to harm the emperor, but he didn't listen! That day the emperor went to the Buddha Temple to listen to scriptures." Therefore, Tie Wang wanted to find an opportunity to assassinate the emperor, and he had to think of a way to transfer the accompanying imperial guards away so that it would be easier for him to attack!"

Emperor Xuan Jing said coldly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" If he had known that King Tie was going to assassinate him in the Buddha Temple, he would not have listened to the scriptures. If Zi Ning and Li'er hadn't rushed there in time, Maybe he was dead, no wonder he was so angry.

"I don't, I don't dare!" Concubine Egui cried so desperately, "My younger brother's life is still in Tie Wang's hands, and I dare not tell the emperor, so..."
