Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 412 The face of hypocrisy

Hearing his father's instructions, Gu Yanchao rushed forward immediately, and while catching the long sword that Emperor Wu of Liang had slashed with one hand, he stopped Concubine Chang Gui with the other hand, standing in front of Emperor Wu of Liang alone, and said earnestly, "The emperor calm down!" No matter how you say it, the imperial concubine has a canonization certificate, even if she really committed an unforgivable crime, she should be handed over to the inner court to deal with it; if you kill her here tonight, it must be against the regulations , if the censor of the previous dynasty knew about it, he would write a memorial all over the sky to reprimand you."

"If you don't conform to the regulations, you won't conform to the regulations. Do you still fear those rules?" Emperor Liang Wu opened his red eyes and roared at Gu Yanchao: "You heard what this temptress said just now. For so many years, the harem has done almost all kinds of evil, even I dare to use it to play with; such a slut who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and the power of the emperor, I have blindly loved her for so many years. If I don't punish her on the spot tonight, I will not be able to get rid of it. A person with a heart."

Concubine Chang Gui fell to the ground with a pale face, her whole body was shaking like she was in a daze, but she heard what Emperor Wu of Liang said clearly, especially when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but look up. At first he laughed, and let the big tears fall from the corners of his eyes: "Hahahaha! Why does the emperor pretend to be a victim? The reason why my concubine has been able to cover the sky with one hand in the harem all these years, isn't this right? Your Majesty? And what happened to Concubine Yuan back then, if you really loved Concubine Yuan deeply, if you didn't suspect that poor stupid woman, would she bring the child in her womb to death? After all, All of this is your own sin. Now that things have been exposed, you can't bear it, so you put all the blame on your concubine; Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even after so many years, your despicableness and shamelessness have not changed. ; You will always be this picture of people under heaven betraying you, but you don't have the hypocrisy of letting people under heaven fail you."

"Bitch! Bitch! I'm going to kill you with my own hands! Kill you!"

Looking at the roaring Emperor Wu of Liang, all the servants in the palace trembled and knelt on the ground. Gu Jin also realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately rushed up and hugged Emperor Wu of Liang from behind and knelt on the ground , said in a sonorous voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine's words are just to irritate you. You must calm down at this time, and you must not ruin your years of painstaking efforts because of impulse. everything."

Hearing what Gu Jin said, Emperor Wu of Liang felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle, and in an instant, half of the impulsive flame was extinguished.

Emperor Wu of Liang looked back at Gu Jin, and Gu Jin also raised his head to look at Emperor Wu of Liang frankly at this time, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Commander Gu, what he just said is correct, no matter what the imperial concubine or empress did wrong, You can't easily take her life in the harem, she is already registered as a first-rank concubine, even if she is deposed, to punish her, you need to give an explanation to the ministers in the court and to the people of the world. Your Majesty, think about yourself. Your throne was won on horseback. Scholars in this world have criticized you a lot. Since you came to the throne, you have promoted a clean government, accepted opinions, and treated the people all over the world. It is also a tax reduction and exemption many times. It took years of hard work for such a benevolent act to manage the current situation; if at this time, you killed the imperial concubine here because of a moment of anger, I am afraid that by tomorrow, your behavior in Shoukang Palace will be the same. It will be spread all over the world. When the time comes, what will the common people say? What will the scholars say? And the courtiers in the court, what kind of guesses will they use to describe you? Your Majesty, you have worked hard for many years to slow down. Slowly gain a firm foothold, but you can't ruin the whole game because of a woman at this time. If you do this, you will definitely regret it."

Emperor Liang Wu looked at Gu Jin's bright black eyes, as if all his inner activities were seen clearly by those penetrating eyes.If such a confession is made, Gu Jin is probably the only one in the world who dares to tell him at this time, and it is precisely because these words are too blatantly realistic that he is pulled back from the impulsive anger.

With a sound of 'clang', Emperor Wu of Liang dropped the long sword in his hand, pushed away Gu Yanchao who stopped him, and walked slowly towards Concubine Chang Gui who fell to the ground and was shaking all over.

"I almost ruined everything I worked so hard for because of you bitch, noble concubine, now that I have calmed down, I suddenly understand why a smart woman like you would say something that angers me at this moment, aren't you You didn't choose what to say, you did it on purpose. You are afraid of me, aren't you?"

Concubine Chang Gui shook her body violently, subconsciously retreating back.

But as she flinched, Emperor Liang Wu also continued to slowly approach her until he forced her into a corner and saw that she could not retreat, and then continued: "You know what you have done all these years Once your evil deeds are made public, your image in my mind will disappear, and you are the person who has been with me for many years, so you know best what kind of methods I will use to treat people I hate; you are afraid of me I used those methods on you, so I wanted to seek a happy death, so I ignored my anger, deliberately stimulated and angered me, just wanted me to really slash you with a sword, so you can be regarded as Can be completely freed, am I right?"

Feeling that Emperor Liang Wu was approaching her, Concubine Chang was so frightened that she shrank back and shouted in a shrill voice: "Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't get close to me! Stay away from me! a little!"

Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Concubine Chang Gui, who was constantly waving her arms and struggling, with a smirk on her face: "As expected of the woman I have loved for so many years, she really understands me well enough, and can really grasp my emotions. Concubine, you Ask yourself carefully, I have treated you well all these years. Under my protection, even the queen will avoid her edge when she sees you. I have given you glory and honor that ordinary people can't imagine, and even your daughter I love you from the bottom of my heart. I treat you so sincerely, but you have been using me all the time, even hurting the people I like. I often hear words like femme fatales, but I never thought of them. One day, the person next to me will be such a person."

Concubine Chang Gui listened to Emperor Liang Wu's reprimand like a quail. With a pale face, most of the red hairpins on her head had already fallen off because of struggling and falling.

The original exquisite makeup has also been painted, and now she still has a bit of the noble appearance of being under one person and above ten thousand people. Lifting a gap, peeping at Emperor Wu of Liang.

"The emperor has always praised his concubine as eloquent. Now it seems that you, the emperor, don't give up too much. You say that you have never treated your concubine badly. That's just your wishful thinking. You should ask yourself carefully. Has the emperor ever really put his concubines in your heart? In the past, concubines always felt that it was good to live in a daze. At least in the eyes of outsiders, today’s concubines can get whatever they want, right? ? But right now, since the emperor wants to settle the accounts of these years of confusion with the concubine, then the concubine will settle the calculation with you."

Concubine Chang raised her head from the crook of her arms, disregarding the embarrassment all over her body, with a bleak smile on her face, she said: "Your Majesty is the most ruthless person I have ever seen in this world. You love Chenqie, but from Chenqie's point of view, the person you love the most in this world is not Chenqie, but yourself."

"If you think these words of the concubine are just sophistry, then the concubine can only say one thing, your deep love is too cheap. The concubine Yuan was also your heart and soul back then, but when you face those forged How did you treat her when the evidence was obtained? Have you ever heard one of her excuses? Have you ever visited her with your own eyes? You blamed the concubine for using means to harm her, but at that time, If the emperor could trust her a bit and take a look at her, she would not end up in a tragic end, and the concubine's plan would not be so successful."

"Over the years, there have been so many concubines who have accompanied the emperor. You have always said that you have affection for the concubine and that you love the concubine the most, which is why you have kept the concubine by your side; but when you heard these words , Chen Qie doesn’t believe a word, because Chen Qie knows yourself better than the emperor, and you didn’t really like Chen Qie to let Chen Qie stay, but Chen Qie has been working hard with means and tricks. Always stay by your side. Your majesty, you are right, the concubine has changed, but the person who makes the concubine change is not others, but you!"

These words of Concubine Chang Gui were all sophistry in Emperor Liang Wu's ears. If he hadn't listened to Gu Jin's words, if it wasn't because of her bad status, he would immediately attack her, I am afraid that at this time, he would have already This vicious woman who was full of nonsense and didn't know the king's kindness was beheaded.

Another reason why Emperor Liang Wu still kept Concubine Chang Gui and allowed her to speak nonsense in front of him was because he wanted her to solve his confusion.

"Concubine Yuan has a kind and well-behaved character. No matter in the prince's mansion or after entering the harem, Concubine Yuan's popularity is excellent; and in my impression, she never seems to have made things difficult for you; Such a kind person who poses no threat to you, why did you design to kill her?"

Concubine Chang Gui seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke, she giggled at Emperor Wu of Liang, and said, "Your Majesty, how do you know that she is not a threat to my concubine? Also, even if she never harmed my concubine, Can't the concubine harm her?"
