Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 553 Demoting officials and cutting power 1
However, no matter how fearful Liu Rong was in his heart, he didn’t want to see the concubine who finally gave birth to the emperor’s son be beheaded like this, and persuaded with a smile: “But the emperor, this matter is a bit strange. The next prince..."

Liu Rong wanted to persuade him a few more words, but Xiao Heng glanced at him coldly, so scared that Liu Rong fell silent, not daring to speak nonsense, and could only watch Concubine Shu die with King Xuanwu.

Before Concubine Shu died, she didn't understand why she was accused of adultery in the harem and having an affair with King Xuanwu, crying loudly that she was wronged, but failed to arouse Xiao Heng's pity, so she was dragged to the prison. Beheaded together with Xiao Zhao!

When the news reached Luoyang Palace, Wei Zijin was having dinner with Xiao Jingyao.

They had known for a long time that the officials asked Xiao Heng to execute Xiao Zhao, and they had already known about Xiao Zhao's ending, but they didn't expect that Xiao Zhao's death would also involve Concubine Shu in the harem!
Wei Zijin knew about Concubine Shu... Concubine Shu entered the palace early and was favored by Xiao Heng for a while. Later, she gave birth to a dragon son for Xiao Heng, and she was very popular in the harem!

But Concubine Shu is a woman with a weak personality. Although she is full of beauty because of giving birth to a dragon son, she is not at all domineering like Concubine Duan, and she doesn't have the power of her natal family to back her up!

And the dragon son she gave birth to was not valued by Xiao Heng, and was not a big threat in the palace. If Xiao Heng deliberately used Xiao Zhao's death to get rid of Concubine Shu, she would not believe it!

It is absolutely impossible for Concubine Shu to have the guts to have an affair with Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao, and although Xiao Zhao is lustful, he will not extend his wolf claws to Xiao Heng's harem, so who the hell is taking this opportunity to frame Concubine Shu? !

Xiao Jingyao saw her gazing silently, put down his chopsticks, and asked with concern: "Are you still thinking about Concubine Shu?"

Wei Zijin nodded, and said thoughtfully: "I always feel that there are people in the harem who have been hiding behind their backs and plotting. At first, I thought it was Concubine Duan relying on her status to do whatever she wanted in the harem and make waves. Now I found out that I seem to have miscalculated..."

"Lu Ziliang has been suspended, and Concubine Duan has fallen out of favor. Even if the Lu family's influence is still there, Concubine Duan cannot deliberately frame Concubine Shu on the cusp!" Xiao Jingyao frowned slightly when he said this.

He didn't want to care about those concubines in Xiao Heng's harem, but those concubines couldn't get away with Ah Jing's death back then!
Although Xiao Heng wanted to suppress the Li family at the beginning, Ah Jing and the Li family were framed, so why not there are concubines in the harem who are secretly making trouble? !

He kept targeting the Lu family because he believed that Concubine Duan and the Lu family were the accomplices who killed Ah Jing!

Hearing what she said now, he also began to think about all this again. Perhaps, what he saw on the surface was not what they thought!

"You suspect that it was not Concubine Duan who murdered you behind your back, but someone else?" Xiao Jingyao asked in a deep voice, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

If this is the case, he must find out who is planning all this behind the scenes, because this person is more dangerous than Concubine Duan!
"Perhaps Concubine Duan is just a pawn, and the one who really planned everything has been hiding behind her back..." Wei Zijin said quietly. For the first time, he realized how ridiculous it was when he thought that he was the queen in the harem and could control everything. !
It's easy to hide open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Who is behind the scenes manipulating all this? !
