Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 280 What happened back then (5)
The King of Beiliao was speechless again after hearing this, and this time Lian Xiu and Lian Chongxue were also silent.

What Lian Rui said before was complete, and now with the testimony of Beautiful Nanny, they couldn't find an excuse to deny it.

The king of Northern Liao rested his forehead with his hand and sat there without saying a word for a long time.

He didn't speak, Xianglai and the others didn't dare to speak out, what should be said was said, and the witnesses to be found were also found. Even if the king of Beiliao didn't want to believe it, he should know that this is the real fact. Now it's up to him to make a decision up.

After an unknown amount of time, the King of Beiliao didn't move his hand supporting his forehead, but said in a low voice, "Concubine Lian, don't you have anything to say to this king?"

Lian Chongxue has been by the King of Beiliao's side for many years, and she is well aware of the temper of the King of Beiliao. If she forcibly denies it at this time, the King of Beiliao will be even more angry. All she can do now is to protect herself as much as possible.

Hearing the King of Beiliao's question, she burst into tears, slid down the seat and knelt in front of the King of Beiliao, and said in agony: "Your Majesty! The concubine should die. The concubine was young at the time and couldn't bear other people's instigation. Confused to commit such a big mistake, I have been regretting it all these years by the king's side, but the big mistake has been made, and there is no way to undo it. The only thing I can do is to serve the king wholeheartedly, and express my gratitude to the dead sister Fuxue. Your Majesty, do your best!"

"Instigate?"

The King of Beiliao captured these two words sensitively and asked, "Who instigated you?"

Lian Xiu next to him had been listening absent-mindedly. When he heard what Lian Chongxue said, he trembled in fright. He looked at Lian Chongxue in horror. What happened back then was done by the two of them. Now Lian Chongxue said If you are instigated by someone, then it must be him who can't escape.

Lian Chongxue listened to the question from the King of Beiliao, and turned her weeping pear blossom to look at Lian Xiu, as if seeing a shield.

Lian Xiu was shocked again, and shouted: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, this matter is..."

Lian Chongxue didn't wait for him to finish, she turned her head and said to King Beiliao, "Your Majesty, the person who provoked me back then was my... sister-in-law!"

"Sister-in-law?" Beiliao King also thought she was referring to Lian Xiu, but he didn't expect that she said "sister-in-law" instead of "brother".

Lian Chongxue nodded and said: "Yes, it was my sister-in-law Zhu Shi who instigated me. She was still my elder brother's concubine at the time. In order to gain my elder brother's trust, she often helped my elder brother with advice. At that time, my elder brother was not allowed by my father. The bastard waiting to see, my sister-in-law was not reconciled, so she encouraged my elder brother to rob my second brother's property. In order to bring down my second brother, she came up with such a poisonous plan, and she even brought the chicken blood on the bed herself! "

When she said this, Lian Xiu seemed to see a glimmer of light, and quickly continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, it was all, it was that poisonous woman who taught me to do this. It was her who came up with this idea. She made me and Chong Snow like this!"

The King of Northern Liao shouted to the outside after hearing the words: "Come here!"

The guards guarding outside entered the hall after hearing it.

The King of Beiliao said, "Go, bring me Mrs. Zhu."

The guard led the order to go out, and brought Zhu Shi in after a while.

Although Mrs. Zhu didn't know that Lian Xiu and Lian Chongxue had put the crimes on her head, but seeing the situation, she knew that it was not good for her. She was so frightened that she knelt down and bowed to the King of Beiliao, saying: "I have seen you, Your Majesty. !"

King Beiliao said: "Master Zhu, let me ask you, did you instigate Lian Xiu and Concubine Lian to kill Lian Rui and Lian Fuxue?"

Mrs. Zhu was startled when she heard this, and then shouted: "Your Majesty! The women were indeed involved in that matter, but it was Lian Xiu and Concubine Lian who wanted to get rid of the Lian Rui brothers and sisters, and asked me to give them an idea. People's women really have to obey, people's women, people's women are forced to do nothing!"

She shouted here, but Lian Xiulian and Chongxue pointed at her and shouted: "It's you, it's you! It's you who let us harm Lian Rui and Fu Xue! You said that your plan kills two birds with one stone, and you guarantee that there will be no future troubles!"

Mrs. Zhu quickly argued: "No, no, you forced me to come up with ideas, otherwise how dare I let you harm my compatriots!"

But no matter what she said, Lian Xiu and Lian Chongxue insisted that everything was her idea and they were used by her.

The King of Beiliao didn't want to delay this matter any longer, so he shouted to the outside: "Come here, take Mrs. Zhu out of custody, and choose a day to ask for execution."

Although he didn't even say a single crime, the guards still resolutely carried out his order, picked up Mrs. Zhu and dragged her out.

Seeing Mrs. Zhu being taken away crying for injustice, the King of Beiliao looked back and said, "Lian Xiu, Concubine Lian, Wang Shi, and Mrs. Jiang are all out. I have something to say to others."

Lian Chongxue and Lian Xiu hurriedly withdrew as if they had received an amnesty.

Wang Shi also took Nanny Jiang and walked out of the hall a little bit.

After the four went out, King Beiliao stood up, walked up and down the hall, and said, "Lian Rui, I know that what happened back then hurt you. Although it was an internal matter of your family, but later this king married Lian Chongxue was missed, now that the truth is revealed, what do you want me to do with it?"

Lian Rui looked at Lian Ke and then at Xianglai. Although he was accidentally fooled by Lian Xiu and Lian Chongxue, he was not a real fool after all. As soon as he pushed him, he knew that it was impossible for him to really report to the eunuch for disposal, and asking himself at this time was just a test.

Thinking of him sneering behind the back of the King of Beiliao, he said: "Lian Rui is a small man, and he is disabled at this time. It is lucky to be able to live in the world. How dare he ask for any treatment? It all depends on the king. up to the decision."

The King of Beiliao turned his back to the crowd without turning his head, and said: "This matter is indeed the fault of Concubine Lian, but it is about the face of the Wang family, it must not be made public, and it will inevitably make you feel wronged..."

Xianglai wanted to speak again when she heard this, but was stopped by Lian Rui.

Lian Rui said: "The grass people's grievances are nothing, as long as the king can know the truth and stop misunderstood the grass people."

The King of Beiliao sighed again, and said: "Oh, I have loved Concubine Lian for more than 20 years, but I don't want her to be such a femme fatale woman, but she gave birth to Qian'er after all. You are Qian'er's uncle, so you should see her For the nephew's sake, please spare her."

Lian Rui and the others did not speak.

The King of Beiliao said again: "As for the Lian family, I will return it to you, but...you can't appear as Lian Rui, otherwise you can't explain to the world what happened back then. Fortunately...they framed you and no one else knows , even if outsiders think you are dead, you died of illness, and your reputation has not been tarnished."

Although Lian Rui was unwilling, she still nodded and said: "Yes, Caomin thanked the king."

The King of Beiliao turned around and said: "In this case, I will order Lian Xiu to give you all the family property, and I will put her to death for Mrs. Zhu. Lian Xiu... I don't think she will live comfortably in the future. , it can be regarded as retribution."
