The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 342, Princess Chen's intention

"Grandmother?" Lu Xi's throat tightened. He always felt that the Empress Dowager Lu was not joking. What he said earlier woke Lu Xi up instantly.

"Grandmother, don't, my grandson really knows his mistake. Uncle Huang, please save my nephew. My nephew should never have done such a thing. My nephew will definitely change his ways piously."

Lu Xi didn't want to lose an arm, what face would he have to live in the world in the future?
Emperor Yusheng squinted his eyes in silence, glanced at Empress Dowager Lu, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, turned his head away from looking at Lu Xi.

Nanny Lu also hesitated for a while, but seeing that the Empress Dowager Lu was not joking, she beckoned and immediately someone presented a saber.

Empress Dowager Lu took it, and threw it on the ground with a bang, "Xi'er, did you do it yourself, or let Aijia do it?"

Lu Xi felt a chill down his back, sweating all over, and looked nervously at Queen Mother Lu.

"I……."

"Mother, I beg my mother to show mercy. Everything is the fault of my wife. It was my wife who was angry for a while. I only blame the girl for being ignorant and offending my wife. Xi'er took the initiative to teach the girl because of a moment of anger. "

Princess Chen strode in quickly and knelt down on the ground, "As for Xinghua Village, it's because of the minister's wife. On the plank road, the slave took the opportunity to assassinate and failed, and was discovered by the guards and hid in Xinghua Village, in order to find the guards..."

"Will you set fire to the village just to find out the guards?" Yu Shengdi sneered, "Princess Chen, continue to edit!"

Concubine Chen was startled, and hurriedly said, "Maybe the emperor misunderstood, what my wife said is true, Xi'er is to cover up my wife's crimes, and that servant happened to be serving by my wife's side, and accidentally offended Xi." Er, I was severely punished by Xier once, and I accidentally let go of a big mistake for a while, I beg the emperor to see clearly."

Lu Xi was already stunned. He didn't know what a slave was or wasn't a slave. Princess Chen actually took the blame for all these crimes on himself.

For some reason, Lu Xi was quietly relieved.

"Mother Concubine..."

"Xi'er, if you are wrong, you are wrong. How can the mother concubine let you bear all this? It is the mother concubine who deserves to die. I beg the emperor to punish me severely!"

With that said, Princess Chen kowtowed to Emperor Yusheng resolutely to make amends.

Empress Dowager Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best for Princess Chen to come and admit her mistake, the portion is just right.Even if Lu Xi is guilty, he won't be severely punished, and he can still save his life.

As for Princess Chen, Empress Dowager Lu didn't care.

Empress Dowager Lu slammed the table and scolded Princess Chen angrily, "You are stupid, I have watched you be gentle and graceful for so many years, but I didn't expect that you are still so angry after so many years. The Ai family has told you a long time ago that you should put the people first , In order to track down a small servant, actually set fire to the village, it is simply too presumptuous!"

What Empress Dowager Lu meant was that she accepted what Princess Chen said, and was about to abandon the car to keep her handsome, and she gave up on Princess Chen.

Princess Chen wept bitterly, "My queen, my wife deserves to die. It's my wife who failed my mother's expectations."

On the side, Lu Xi bowed his head in silence, at least his arm was saved.

Emperor Yusheng raised his eyebrows, "Since you said you are your slave, where did this slave come from? How can you, a princess in the back house, get in touch with the girl from Xinghua Village?"

Princess Chen had already thought up her speech, took a deep breath and said to Emperor Yusheng, "Your Majesty doesn't know, this person was inserted into Prince Chen's mansion halfway to serve him, and he was not a child of the family. Miss Xiaowu can use it in Xinghua Village." Making all kinds of sachets is unmatched by others, and my wife also heard someone mention it by chance, so she invited Miss Xiaowu to help make a sachet when she had nothing to do."

"My wife really likes Xi'er very much. Who knows that Miss Xiaowu fell in love with Xi'er at first sight, and she wanted to marry Xi'er for life and death. The wife saw that she was frivolous and not worthy of Xi'er, so she didn't agree. Unexpectedly, Miss Xiaowu was drunk by the mansion. The drunken guard recognized the wrong person and forcibly gave..."

Princess Chen hesitated to speak, but the meaning behind the words was very obvious.

"This incident was discovered by others, so Miss Xiaowu couldn't bear the eyes of the world. When she returned to Xinghua Village, she lost her mind and hurt herself all over. Xi'er just passed by and glanced at Xiaowu. Miss Wu, was misunderstood by everyone."

Princess Chen took a deep breath, weaving all these seamlessly, mainly picking out Lu Xi.

"Your Majesty, it was a coincidence that the fire caught fire that night. The fire was too big. Xi'er wanted to save Miss Xiaowu, but unfortunately the fire couldn't get close to her. The guards called her son, which caused many misunderstandings."

Emperor Yusheng sneered again and again, "You are just a princess, how can you meddle in these matters, what about King Chen? How did I hear that it was King Chen who was drunk and raped a woman."

"No, your majesty, the prince was not in Bianzhou at the beginning, how could he do such a thing!"

Princess Chen explained.

"Shut up!" Empress Dowager Lu suddenly snapped, glaring at Princess Chen angrily, "What do you know as a woman?"

"Why do you need to worry about the Queen Mother? I just want to ask the truth. Some curious things need to be answered by Princess Chen."

Emperor Yusheng seemed to have grasped something, and squinted at Princess Chen, "Prince Chen is a prince, where else can he go if he is not in the fiefdom of Bianzhou, and he is not allowed to leave without an edict, otherwise it will be regarded as treason..."

Princess Chen stepped back as if she had said something wrong, "Your majesty, my wife..."

Princess Chen opened her mouth, but she couldn't find words to refute Emperor Yusheng.

Emperor Yusheng sneered, seeing that the Empress Dowager Lu was about to speak, she said very quickly, "I remember that the Empress Dowager was concentrating on worshiping Buddha and listening to the abbot of Banruo Temple preaching scriptures, so she probably didn't have time to issue an edict."

One sentence completely blocked Empress Dowager Lu's words. Empress Dowager Lu blushed and glared at Princess Chen angrily.

Princess Chen bit her lips, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Empress Dowager Lu, a flash of light flashed across her eyes as she lowered her head.

"Princess Chen, since you were not present, how did you say it so clearly?" Emperor Yusheng asked coldly, "If what you said is true, why didn't you report it if you knew it? You were kept in the dark, Princess Chen, who gave you the guts!"

Emperor Yusheng took a deep breath, "Go and invite the Second Highness!"

The Second Highness is King Chen.

"Your Majesty, maybe it was a misunderstanding. How could she, a woman, understand what happened a year ago? Maybe she remembered it wrong."

Empress Dowager Lu said in a deep voice, and stared at Princess Chen fiercely.

Princess Chen shrank her neck, not daring to raise her eyes to look at Empress Dowager Lu.

"Let's talk about everything when King Chen comes." Emperor Yusheng said slowly.

About half an hour later, King Chen came and knelt down in front of Emperor Yusheng.

"Grass people see my emperor, long live, long live, long live, see the empress dowager, thousand years old, thousand years old."

Emperor Yusheng narrowed his eyes, "Second brother, where were you in May a year ago?"

King Chen hesitated, "Caomin is not feeling well, so he lived alone in another courtyard for several months."

"Because of what disease?"

"Heart disease!"

Emperor Yusheng raised his chin and glanced at Eunuch He. Eunuch He nodded immediately, and soon invited the imperial physician to take the pulse of King Chen.

"Returning to the emperor, the Second Highness has no heart disease, and the insufficiency disease brought about by her mother's womb when she was young has already been cured."

King Chen's face changed when he heard the words, "What nonsense are you talking about, can this king's heart disease be faked?"

"Second Highness, please appease your anger. This humble minister is not skilled. I implore the emperor to ask someone else to be wise, so as not to delay Second Highness."

"Call!"

After a while, all the people from Tai Hospital came, half of them said they were not sick, and half of them said they had just recovered from their heart disease.

Emperor Yusheng rubbed his forehead, "Today you have to think clearly, whether it is incompetent medical skills, or deliberate deception, the crime of deceiving the king is enough to destroy the nine clans!"

"Is the emperor threatening?" Queen Mother Lu was displeased.

Emperor Yu Sheng laughed lightly, "The Empress Dowager misunderstood, since some said he was sick and some said he wasn't, now I can only take my second brother into custody first, and I will send someone to Bianzhou to inquire about it later, and the matter will be clear. What my younger brother said is the truth, I immediately released my second younger brother and personally apologized."

Empress Dowager Lu's face was gloomy, and her heart seemed to be numb all day, and she was involved with each other, and she continued to cut and reason.

"Brother Huang, I don't know what crime the grass-roots committed and will be taken into custody by the emperor?" King Chen came in a hurry, and he didn't know the exact cause and effect, only a general idea.

So Emperor Yusheng repeated Princess Chen's words again, and King Chen immediately looked at Princess Chen with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Princess Chen was shocked.

"Queen Mother, whether this matter is true or not, it is a fact that Lu Xi hurt people, and it is also a fact that he killed someone in public. In front of so many people in the city, he killed an innocent person. Should he give an explanation?"

At this moment, Emperor Yu Sheng looked aggressive.

Empress Dowager Lu only felt that her mind was buzzing, and it was the first time she felt helpless to be bitten by Emperor Yusheng.

"Come here, first take His Highness into custody and lock him up, and no one is allowed to visit. If there is any loss, the Ai family will never forgive him lightly!"

Empress Dowager Lu took a deep breath, the first step is to protect King Chen.

After getting the wink from Empress Dowager Lu, King Chen gave up struggling and let the guards take him down. Instead of being imprisoned in Emperor Yusheng's prison, it is better for Empress Dowager Lu to order him personally. Isn't it a kind of protection?

As for Lu Xi, the Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Lu Xi, and Lu Xi's back felt cold.

"Grandmother?"

Empress Dowager Lu took a deep breath, picked up the saber from the ground, pulled out the scabbard with a bang, and walked towards Lu Xi step by step.

"Grandmother, don't, grandson really knows his mistake, mother and concubine save me!"

Princess Chen's heart tightened, and she stopped in front of Lu Xi, "Mother, my wife is willing to bear all the responsibilities for Xi'er, if you want to punish me, please punish me."

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Princess Chen in disgust, and kicked Princess Chen's heart, "Bitch, it's in vain that the Ai family trusts you so much, but you are so ignorant of right and wrong, and do such unconscionable things. Hundreds of lives in Xinghua Village were lost because of you, and today I will use your blood to pay homage to those hundred souls!"

Concubine Chen was kicked to the ground, clutching her chest and felt suffocated for a while, she raised her eyes to look at Empress Dowager Lu, and saw a murderous intent.

Since Princess Chen returned to Beijing, she never thought that she would be able to go back alive. This life would be gone sooner or later, but for Lu Xi, Princess Chen accepted it.

"What the queen mother said is that it is the fault of the minister's wife, and everything will be resolved by the minister's wife."

Speaking of which, Princess Chen stood up, ran towards the pillar not far away, ran over with a bang, hit the pillar with her head, and fell slowly to the ground, with blood all over her forehead Take the risk, eyes wide open and full of guilt.

"Concubine Mother!" Lu Xi was stunned, watching Princess Chen bump her head against the pillar.

"Come quickly, save my mother and concubine, the imperial doctor, quickly save my mother and concubine."

Lu Xi yelled frantically, and several imperial physicians were called back before they could go far.

"Returning to the emperor, the princess has passed away, please mourn."

Lu Xi froze for a moment, trembling and afraid to go forward.

The Empress Dowager Lu took a deep breath, her eyes flushed, "Come here, drag the prince out to hold fifty boards, bury Princess Chen generously, and set up a memorial archway for the dead villagers of Xinghua Village in Banruo Temple. The ever-burning lamp is not extinguished, and then the Prajna Temple will be used to save every dead villager, and the Ai family will also pray for blessings and fast for one year."

Empress Dowager Lu glanced at Emperor Yusheng again, "Is the emperor satisfied with what the Ai family has done?"

Emperor Yusheng pursed his lips tightly, "I thank the Queen Mother on behalf of the villagers of Xinghua Village who died."

"What are you being polite about? They are all the people of Dayong. The Ai family did not do this for the sake of the emperor."

Empress Dowager Lu took a deep breath, her whole body seemed to be clogged with air, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, so she found an excuse and hurried into the back room.

Lu Xi was pulled down, and the fifty boards were punished in public. The dripping blood behind the fifty boards penetrated the entire back, soaking the clothes, and the guards carried out the dead Princess Chen. The crowd suddenly fell silent. Come down, the atmosphere is a little weird.

Kun Qian Palace

"The queen mother is going all out. The rabbit is anxious and bites people. Now there is no way to retreat, so I can only bite the bullet and move forward."

Emperor Yusheng pursed his lips tightly, "Recently you have to be careful, once the queen mother doesn't take care of it, even I have to pay attention, hurting the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, but after all, they are the people of Dayong, how can I bear it ?”

Lu Linen nodded, "Father, now that King Chen has been demoted to Lu Xi and punished, if the Queen Mother is not forced to take action, if the delay continues, it will be a waste of people and money. This battle is unavoidable."

Lu Linen hesitated for a long time, and quickly said, "Father, it's not just the queen mother who is passive now, why are we not, if what happens..."

"There is no chance, there is no way out now, Lynn, he can only grit his teeth and move forward."

From what happened today, Emperor Yusheng became more determined to choose Qi Yao. In the eyes of Lu Xi, the lives of hundreds of people in Xinghua Village were light and calm. If Dayong was handed over to Lu Xi, it would be a massacre. It is the innocent people who suffer.

Princess Chen died, Lu Xi was not sad at all, and Emperor Yusheng was extremely disappointed in Lu Xi.

"Lu Xi has a penny-pinching temperament, which is exactly the same as his father. If he becomes the throne, not only the entire princess mansion will suffer, Lin En, do you understand what I mean?"

Emperor Yusheng had a serious expression on his face.

Lu Linen nodded, "Yes, Lynn understands."

King Qin's Mansion

King Chen was killed by Princess Guan Chen, and even Lu Xi was beaten fifty times and fell into a coma.

The news exploded in Prince Qin's mansion, and Lu Ying was in a hurry.

"Mother, my daughter is going to visit Shizi and see how his injury is."

When Meng Shi heard this, she stopped Lu Ying, her face darkened, "Sister Ying, don't mess around, the prince got hit because of something, what are you going to do when you are on the cusp?"

Lu Ying blushed, "My daughter is also the future concubine after all."

Meng shi took a deep breath, "You should give up on this idea as soon as possible, and wait until this matter has passed before you mention it. You haven't passed the door yet. It's too shameful to go there in a grand manner. Mother is doing it for your own good."

Lu Ying stomped her feet, "Damn Lu Ning, it's all her fault for causing all these troubles. If she didn't want to make a move on Mr. Pei, how could those people make trouble?"

Lu Ying blamed all this on Lu Ning.

"Ying'er, don't you understand? Now that the emperor and the queen mother are confronting each other, the son's affairs are caused by someone deliberately making trouble. Even if there is no Lu Ning, it will be someone else."

Mrs. Meng was anxious. The originally good marriage was enviable everywhere, but now it has become a hot potato.

Throw it away and don't keep it, it's really a headache.

"Then what should we do now?"

Mrs. Meng rubbed her forehead, buzzing inside, "Don't worry, wait a while, after all, you are not the only one who was given a marriage."

"Mother, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that you want your daughter to retire?" Lu Ying said stubbornly, "It doesn't matter to me whether Lu Ning marries or not. I must marry the prince. At this time, the prince is already pitiful enough." , How could I abandon him.”

Holding a sigh of relief in her heart, Meng shi glared at Lu Ying, "Young son! You only see the eldest son, right? Is there a mother like me? If you have to marry someone who can stop you, it depends on your grandmother's decision." Temper, I would rather die with a glass of poisoned wine than let you be implicated in Prince Qin's residence!"

When Lu Ying heard this, she immediately became sluggish. She sat on the chair and only shed tears, not daring to refute a word.

　Before 10:30 on the second watch, dear friends
