concubines

Chapter 21 Kill the Son

As soon as the voice fell, the entire hall fell silent.The little maids and eunuchs all held their breaths, their noses were open, and the gossip coming from their nostrils was like a royal secret that was about to be revealed.

Concubine De also thought that what he said was wrong, and shouted: "King Qin, what do you mean?!" This is not only related to the Xia family.Zhou Shuxuan's words were like a basin of sewage, and all the girls in the Xia family would be implicated.

Zhou Shuxuan ignored her at all, and said directly to the emperor: "Father, the Xia family secretly communicated with the crown prince before leaving the cabinet. My son has been gritting his teeth for many years, and he has been patient with her. But Xia She was so restless that she colluded with the crown prince and framed her ministers. She hid money and silver for food and clothing. Her ministers had nothing to say, but she bought alchemy furnaces. She practiced gunpowder privately in the mansion, and developed an unusable Ignite the gunpowder that can also explode. Then hand it over to the prince. On the day of the horse race, he put it on his son's horse.

The prince and Erchen are biological brothers, and Erchen and the Xia family are husband and wife.The son-in-law thought of the brother-wife relationship, and wanted to punish her in the mansion for venting his anger, but he didn't want to make a fuss in front of his father.But the villains of the Xia Clan filed a complaint first, accusing the son-in-law of crimes, implicating innocent people, the son-in-law had no choice but to tell the truth to the emperor, and asked the emperor to be the master of the son-in-law. "

Zhou Shu's voice was like a bell, and every word was like gunpowder made by the Xia family, which resounded through the sky without fire.

A chill came from Xia's back, from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, as if he had struggled out of cold water and fell into the snow.The whole person was hanging completely by one breath, otherwise he would definitely collapse to the ground at this time.

Is what Zhou Shu declared true?it is true!And not a single word is bad.

Xia Shi didn't think that he would say it all now, and she glanced at Miao Li who was kneeling aside, because she underestimated the weight of this woman in Zhou Shuxuan's heart.

Concubine De panicked and wanted to cover up the facts, but Zhou Shu's declaration was accurate, Concubine De said without confidence: "Prince Qin, don't talk nonsense, Concubine Wang is innocent..."

"Get out!" the emperor roared.Involving the prince is no longer the family matter of King Qin, and the empress and concubine are not allowed to talk about it here.

Concubine De dejectedly led the people out with their heads bowed, and after the idlers had finished leaving, there were only a few parties left.The only person who could protect the Xia clan also left, Xia clan was almost kneeling on the ground now, with only one thought in his mind, no matter what, he couldn't hurt the crown prince.

The emperor leaned on the arhat bed and thought for a long time, finally hammered the table three times, and shouted at Zhou Shuxuan with red eyes: "What the hell are you talking about? Are you still not letting the prince go?" Zhou Shuxuan didn't say a word. I would like to believe that it was Zhou Shuxuan who was still restless and deliberately dirty the prince.

Zhou Shuxuan replied calmly, "Father, my son is already disabled at this time, why would you use your own reputation to injure the crown prince, and do these things that are not worth the candle. Whether it is true or not, I ask Father to see clearly."

The emperor was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, pointed at Zhou Shuxuan and cursed loudly: "I don't know why you are? You are a vicious person, and the blood of a vicious person is flowing in your bones."

Miao Li was surprised when she heard that the emperor's words were too harsh.She, an outsider, looked at them not like father and son at all, but like enemies for several lifetimes.Zhou Shuxuan took such a big risk to save her, Miao Li felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Zhou Shuxuan was used to these things, he had angered the emperor before, and the emperor had said even worse things.

His eyes were firm, and he still said neither humble nor overbearing: "Father thinks that I have nothing to say. Apart from the crown prince, I really can't leave anyone who wants to kill me. I must divorce my wife."

To be reprimanded by the emperor, unable to shake off the crown prince and the Xia family, would be nothing but a steal.

The emperor sneered, gritted his teeth and asked him: "Why do you divorce your wife? Tell me a reason."

Divorcing a wife will definitely involve the prince, and if the prince is not involved, it is doomed not to divorce a wife, and the embezzlement of money alone is not enough to divorce a princess.

They are all sons, the emperor will only favor the prince, even the Xia family.Even his broken leg didn't help him find out the truth, why would the throne be passed on to him, Zhou Shuxuan was already heartbroken.With a sinking heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's against human relations for a younger brother to marry a brother-in-law. I can't be such an unfaithful and unfilial person."

"Your majesty, the minister's daughter-in-law and the crown prince think innocently." Xia Shi had already regained her strength at this time, knelt on the ground and kowtowed for herself to distinguish, "My lord, if I don't have a concubine, even if I want to go to my concubine If you splash dirty water on your body, you can call it a servant in the mansion, but don't call it the prince."

The Xia family knew that the emperor could protect her only if the crown prince was picked clean.And from a selfish point of view, the Xia family also wants to protect the crown prince.

These words are so poisonous, Miao Li couldn't help but sweat for Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, it seems that he still has a tough battle to fight today, but she can't help him at this time with her soft words.

The emperor cast an admiring look, and followed her words and asked Zhou Shuxuan, "You said they secretly communicated with the song, what evidence do you have?"

There is no other evidence. He has a lot of evidence that the Xia family has an affair with the prince. Zhou Shuxuan replied calmly, "Of course I have evidence. There is a painting in the Xia family's house, which shows the prince's private affairs. Seal, there are letters between the two beside the painting. If the father doesn't believe it, just take it out and see."

Xia Shi knelt on the spot and did not dare to act rashly, Zhou Shuxuan actually knew such details.She never told anyone about those paintings and letters, nor did she show them to others. Zhou Shuxuan must have spies by her side.

The emperor glanced at the pale-faced Xia family, and he already understood seven or eight things in his heart.The useless thing actually did such a shameful and nasty thing, no matter how much evidence Zhou Shuxuan presented, he still wanted to protect the crown prince.

The emperor didn't take it out to look at it, and said directly: "Those things can be forged. Forging calligraphy and painting, your mother and concubine are still a master."

Zhou Shuxuan secretly clenched his fists, his mother and concubine had passed away for so many years, yet the emperor still didn't let her go.There is no conclusive evidence to prove that there is a relationship between his mother and concubine.But the emperor didn't believe it, and forced his mother and concubine to death, just as he wanted to force him to death today.

Zhou Shuxuan smiled, and looked up at the emperor, "Father, you forged two characters back then to force your son, mother, and concubine to death. Are you going to use these two words to force your son to death today?"

"You!" The emperor was trembling with anger, with a murderous look in his eyes.He was so angry that he had long forgotten that Zhou Shuxuan was his son.

Zhou Shuxuan was not the prince who Vivinono came to sue, he had a faint smile on his face, and he put his life and death aside, "A person like this minister is really not worthy of being the emperor's son, so the emperor will just give him death. Once the emperor died, he saved the crown prince, and also the Xia family. Why not do it if the ministers alone save everyone?"

The emperor was trembling with anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "You bastard, you're going to piss me off!" How could a wise monarch kill his son, this was obviously to injure him to injustice.

Zhou Shuxuan said loudly: "If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die. If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die. When the emperor gives an order, the minister immediately splatters the palace with blood."

Miaoli knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor's unsteady body, and complained to Zhou Shuxuan in her heart, why bother to anger the emperor at this time.If you really want to kill your son, it will not end well for a while.

At this time, everyone went out, and there was no one who could persuade the fight.The emperor was furious, and if he didn't want this son, he would just let it go, as if he had never been born.Picking up the vase on the incense table, he threw it at Zhou Shuxuan with all his strength.If this bottle goes down, if you don't die, you only have half life.However, Zhou Shuxuan was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't hide.

At the moment of life and death, Miao Li jumped up and threw herself on Zhou Shuxuan.The vase hit her back and bounced to the ground, turning into pieces all over the floor.Xia moved slightly to the side, fearing that the debris would splash on her.

This block, the emperor did not expect that when encountering an unexpected situation, the emperor calmed down a little.The actions of the two fell in the eyes of the emperor, no matter what happened today, the Xia family would not be able to stay.In fact, when Zhou Shuxuan announced that there was evidence of the collusion between the prince and the Xia family, the emperor did not intend to keep the Xia family, and did not declare for Zhou Shu to be the prince.

The pain spread from the back to the whole body, the spine seemed to be broken, Miao Li frowned in pain.Zhou Shuxuan supported her with both hands, it was difficult to speak in front of the emperor, so he asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong?"

Miao Li smiled at him effortlessly, then shook her head, indicating that she was fine.Then propping up his body, he turned around and knelt down, enduring the pain in his bones and said: "Please calm down the emperor. The emperor is a kind father of Mingjun. He has different disciplines for his highness, but the same love for his son. The prince was confused for a while, and he couldn't see the emperor's love." If the emperor kills the prince at this time, those foolish people in the world will also talk about the emperor indiscriminately like the prince. The life of the prince is small, but the name of the emperor is great. Please think again."

In front of the emperor, there is no place for her, a little concubine, to speak.But when she opened her mouth, the emperor's sense of familiarity came out again, and she actually finished listening to her words.I also thought about it carefully, but it was also pleasing to the ear.

Zhou Shuxuan glanced at her furrowed brows, he was really courageous, he dared to rush to save him, and dared to say these words in front of the emperor.As expected of Meng Qianfan's daughter, he was right at the time.

The emperor's expression moved a lot, which was the result of her desperate begging.Zhou Shuxuan was not so aggressive at this time, and said respectfully: "Father, I know I was wrong, and I deserve death. But the gunpowder found on the horse's hoof is only in the hands of Xia, and she cut off my son. With a pair of legs, how can I not hate her?"

One of them took a step back, as if he was a loving father and a filial son, and almost cried.But if the father and son want to get back together, they have to find a step down, and that step is the Xia family.

Facing Xia Shi, the emperor changed his protection just now, "Xia Shi, you keep saying that the King of Qin favors his concubine and kills his wife. What were you doing when I was about to kill King Qin just now? You hid far away for fear of hurting yourself, and that concubine was here again. What to do? Protect each other with your body. I feel cold for King Qin, and he dotes on his concubine because your wife is not good."

It's over, Xia said silently in her heart.
