I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 112 Xu's Death
Whether Xu is innocent or not, Concubine Xu naturally knows all about it, but these words cannot be said in any way, she just kowtowed in fear and sincerity, and said earnestly: "The concubine lives deep in the harem, how can I know this? It's just..." She paused for a while, and said with tears in her eyes, "I implore the emperor to announce Xu's family to the palace, and ask him face to face. she!"

Although Concubine Xu is sure that Xu Shi will not dare to betray herself, Qu Lingxu has always been scheming. If she finds an opportunity to trick her out, it will be a big deal, so... let Xu Shi be under her nose , is the safest choice.

Although the emperor hated the Xu family, there was no evidence to prove that Concubine Xu Gui was also involved in it, and she couldn't bear it when she cried and complained like this, and hesitated for a while.

Seeing this, the queen gave Murong Jing a wink calmly, and Murong Jing immediately understood, cupped her hands and said: "Father, although the evidence for this matter is convincing, Mrs. Xu still refuses to admit it, and keeps saying that she is For those who have been wronged, I think that she is the sister of the imperial concubine, so it is not good to use torture at will, if the imperial concubine can assist in the trial, it is also a good thing."

No matter how many crimes the Xu family has committed in the file, it is still not as shocking as what the emperor heard with his own ears. What's more, the Xu family is not a very smart person. As long as they can seize the opportunity, they are very likely to ask Concubine Xu Gui and Murong Li had no chance to quibble about some key issues.

"What His Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, my family... is always easier to talk to." Li Zhaoyi glanced at Concubine Xu with a half-smile, and echoed.

"Alright." The emperor nodded, and immediately ordered Song Zhiwen to go back to Jingzhaoyin Mansion to bring the Xu family and several witnesses into the palace, and then added: "It is related to the cause of Chen's death. I know, you send someone to go to the general's mansion and let the princess enter the palace together."

"Wei Chen obeys."

After Song Zhiwen left, the Hall of Qinzheng fell into a long silence. After about an hour, the door of the hall was opened again. Although he was not severely punished, the Xu family who was brought hastily was still in a state of embarrassment. Many folds were damaged, and even the golden hairpins on her head were missing a few. Her hair was messed up like a shrew in the market, and she was completely different from the elegant and luxurious lady two months ago.

Concubine Xu Gui couldn't help but gasped for this appearance of Mrs. Xu. If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would never have believed that Qu Lingxu, a yellow-haired girl who had just reached her age, would have such meticulous thoughts and methods to control the situation. The Xu family, who has been in the general's mansion for many years, is in such a miserable situation.

Compared with Concubine Xu's calmness, Xu's performance was obviously more excited. Seeing Concubine Xu's familiar figure, Xu's originally slumped eyes instantly brightened. The corner of Concubine Xu's skirt burst into tears and said: "Your Majesty, you must save me, I have done nothing, I am really innocent!"

From the moment the matter came to light, Mrs. Xu was already a dead person in the eyes of Concubine Xu, so how could she take the risk of deepening the emperor's suspicion to help? She slapped Mrs. Xu's face hard with her hand, and said with heartache "You are Bengong's own sister. I have always cared for you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing!" Because she was too angry, Concubine Xu's breath fluctuated, and she calmed down. It took a while before he continued: "You said you were wronged, well, I will give you a chance to explain, and you can explain clearly in front of the emperor and empress, what is going on!"

Concubine Xu Guifei's palm was so powerful that she staggered and fell to the ground. When she got up again, her left cheek was already swollen, but until this time, she didn't realize that she was seeing The elder sister who was the life-saving straw already regarded her as an abandoned child, and only thought it was a bitter trick thought up by the other party, so she immediately got up and kowtowed to the emperor, "Your Majesty, my wife was wronged, and my wife did not write That letter, this... this was deliberately framed by someone!"

"Really?" The emperor's cold eyes swept across Xu's body, and finally fell on Song Zhiwen. Song Zhiwen understood, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the emperor, I brought this suspicious slave back from Jinxiu Pavilion early in the morning. During interrogation by the government office, he made a very detailed confession, including the details clearly, there is absolutely no possibility of false accusation."

The servant never dreamed that he would be able to see the current emperor in this life. The seven souls had already lost their six orifices in fright, and the whole person knelt on the ground and shivered. Said: "Your Majesty, what the villain is telling is the truth, there is absolutely no falsehood. The second aunt promised this slave herself that as long as this matter is done well, she will give the villain 100 taels of silver to marry a wife and have children. The silver ticket... It was sewn into the interlayer of the villain's clothes."

No one mentioned the silver bill before, and Xu only thought that Ding loved money like his life, and it was impossible to confess, but he never thought that in front of the emperor, he was so nervous that he didn't even want the silver. The ticket comes from the largest Baotong ticket number in the capital, and all withdrawal procedures are recorded in the book. The emperor only needs to send someone to check...

Xu didn't dare to think about it any further, because going any further would undoubtedly lead to a dead end.

An unprecedented panic filled her body in an instant, making Xu feel like she was running away. However, this time, she was destined to have no chance to escape.

Xu's every move fell into the eyes of everyone in the hall, the emperor raised his sword eyebrows, threw the bank note taken out by the servant's clothes in front of her, and said coldly: "You don't know how to repent when you are about to die, don't you?" I want me to immediately send someone to the Baotong ticket number to find out the withdrawal records!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, have mercy..." Knowing that no matter how much she tried to argue, it was useless, she just bowed her head and wept blindly.

"You... I have really misjudged you all these years!" Concubine Xu was so angry that she almost couldn't stand still, but the maid beside her gave her a strong support, so she didn't stagger and fall out, and she didn't care about the concubine's demeanor, He stepped forward and kicked Xu's body fiercely, and said angrily: "Father taught us sisters to be kind to others since childhood, but you are so lucky that you actually did vicious things that killed the mistress, bengong... bengong beat you to death for father This unrepentant rebellious girl!"

Concubine Xu's emotions were too agitated, and the maids couldn't pull her away for a while, so they could only let her keep beating and scolding Mrs. Xu, but what everyone didn't see was that taking the opportunity of getting close to Mrs. Xu, Concubine Xu was in their ears He whispered in an invisible voice: "If you want Baodingbang and Fengyan to be safe, just keep your mouth shut!"

Xu's mind was in a daze, she could only let Concubine Xu be beaten and scolded, she couldn't even dodge, until she heard this cold and heartless words, she just widened her eyes as if waking up from a dream, she and Concubine Xu grew up together Da, naturally knows that this elder sister is as cold-blooded and ruthless as her father, but she has always felt that it is against others, not her own relatives. It was only at this moment that she realized how stupid her previous thoughts were. !

Concubine Xu, her sister... Hehe.

She is not reconciled.

For a moment, she really wanted to tell all the truth desperately, even if she went to hell, she would drag Concubine Xu with her, but how could she do that?As Concubine Xu said, she still has Dingbang and Fengyan. If they want to have a good future, they still need to rely on Concubine Xu to support her. And she must not implicate her child in death.

Seeing Mrs. Xu staring at Concubine Xu motionless, the Empress said at the right time: "Your Majesty, this concubine looks at Mrs. Xu and seems to have something to say to your concubine sister. Is there something else we don't know?"

Hearing this, before the emperor had time to reply, Concubine Xu Guifei took the first step and said: "The queen empress means that the concubine also has a share in harming the general's wife?" Saying so, she knelt down in front of the emperor, One word at a time, he said: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Xu is the closest relative of the concubine. She should be punished together for the wrong things she did, but the concubine has never done anything shameful. , if the emperor doesn't believe it, just order someone to investigate."

Hearing the words that she is not afraid of the shadow slanting, the queen almost sneered, and when she looked at Li Zhaoyi, she also had a look of disdain. She only felt that Concubine Xu's face was as good as the city wall, and she was not afraid of telling lies Lightning struck the day before.

"Where is the concubine sister thinking? I have been with your sister for many years, how can I not believe in my sister's character?" The queen tried her best to hold back her sneer, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, it is not a trivial matter to train a dark guard. Absolutely can't do it, the concubine thinks it must be investigated carefully."

"It's natural." The emperor nodded lightly, and said to Xu who was kneeling on the ground like a pile of mud: "You should have heard of the prison of the Punishment Department in the palace. I will give you one last chance. If you From the facts, I can consider giving you a whole corpse, otherwise...the head of the Punishment Department has ten thousand ways to make your life worse than death."

For a short while, Xu's mind had already made up her mind. Her resentful eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one, and finally fixed on Concubine Xu. Just when the queen thought she was about to speak, she suddenly yelled madly. Laughing, the laughter was so sharp that it stimulated everyone's eardrums like a flute that missed the sound. Just when the emperor was about to order someone to take the crazy Xu away, she suddenly raised her hand and pulled the hair from Concubine Xu's bun. The golden hairpin ruthlessly pierced her chest.

She must die, but she can choose how to die.

Dingbang, Fengyan, mother is going first, you must live well, and...you must avenge your mother, kill, kill Qu Lingxu, kill Xu Guifei...kill all of them...
