imperial concubine

Chapter 186
Hearing Liu Banxia's words, Concubine Shu was overjoyed.Sure enough, today's visit was not in vain, and I actually heard such a big news!When His Majesty returns to Beijing and reports the matter to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely reconsider the matter of the crown prince.

After all, the crown prince was exhausted and haggard after only a few days of supervising the country. Once he took charge in the future, how tired would he be?At that time, there are only two results. First, the crown prince died young, and second, the crown prince let go. No matter which one takes over, he can't be called a wise king, so this is his good opportunity!

When Concubine Shu was enjoying herself, she heard a voice in the main hall, "Liu Banxia, ​​you are talking nonsense!" Concubine Shu followed the voice, but saw Yun Jingya's face was flushed and her brows were erect, obviously she was already very angry.

Regardless of whether what Liu Banxia said just now is true or not, Yun Jingya must stand up and refute, and she must refute firmly. unstable!

Feeling that everyone's eyes in the palace were focused on her face, Yun Jingya calmed down, and then said: "The prince supervises the country. I also follow the prince to govern in the imperial study. Why have I never seen the prince before?" Look haggard?"

What she said just now was just to express Yun Jingya's meaning.Now when everyone in the palace heard what Yun Jingya said, they immediately thought in their hearts, yes, if the prince is haggard, there is no reason why the princess would not know by his side every day.

Concubine Shu on the side obviously also thought of this truth, but she didn't speak.I don't need to care if the prince is really emaciated, as long as I spread the news, it will be powerful for the second prince to ascend the throne in the future.Don't care about the others.

Liu Banxia said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, you have always been very strict with His Highness, and everyone in the palace knows about it. Now it is the time for His Highness to oversee the country. If the Crown Prince is tired in front of His Highness, how could he not?" Rebuke His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yun Jingya has always been compared with the eldest princess of the former dynasty, who disciplined the crown prince extremely strictly. Naturally, she also followed suit and often put on a straight face to teach the crown prince a lesson. Even Emperor Chongwen knew about this, but he did not mention Yun Jingya That's all.

Hearing Liu Banxia's words at this time, Yun Jingya's face turned pale, and then she forced herself to defend herself: "Absurd! His Royal Highness is my younger brother, and I was reprimanded by me not once or twice, so why would I do it this time?" That harmful pill?"

Although I often reprimand my younger brother, I will comfort my younger brother every time.So the younger brother never felt disgusted with his elder sister. On the contrary, because of this incident, the relationship between the two brothers and sisters was much deeper than that of ordinary siblings.

Hearing Yun Jingya's words, Liu Banxia shook his head and said: "When I think about it, this time is naturally different. Firstly, the prince is in charge of the country, so there must be no sloppy; secondly, His Royal Highness must not want His Royal Highness to work too hard. That's why it happened."

This time, Emperor Chongwen was driving the expedition, and the prince supervised the country. This was a rare opportunity for the prince to be in charge of the country, so the prince wanted the courtiers to see his ability, and he also wanted his sister to see that he was no longer the child he was back then.

Yun Jingya opened her mouth and was about to speak, but the queen said coldly on the first seat: "Liu Banxia's eyes flickered, it is clear that there is a ghost in his heart; the words are so clear, someone must have pointed it out. Come here, drag it out and continue to punish!" "

Although the queen's evidence is not evidence, but at this time the queen is the person in charge of the harem, and Yun Jingya is temporarily acting as the supervisor of the country. Even if the queen is telling lies, no one dares to stand up and point it out.

Looking at Yun Jingya's distraught look, the queen knew that she must have been confused by Liu Banxia's words, thinking that what Liu Banxia said was true.It's just that I don't want to admit it in my heart, so I fell into the predicament of fighting between heaven and man.

The queen shook her head, turned her head and said to Concubine Shu, "This Liu Banxia's words are sharp, and he has clearly prepared them for a long time. Otherwise, how could he, a little eunuch, say such sharp words? My sister thinks, Bengong said Right?"

On the surface, the empress said this to Concubine Shu, but in fact it was said to Yun Jingya, so that Yun Jingya would not fall into Liu Banxia's verbal trap, and in the end, not only would she not be able to help herself, but she would keep it in her heart. remorse.

Concubine Shu smiled, and then said: "This world is so strange, who can say it? But since my sister said there is a problem, there must be a problem! After all, my sister's eyes are much more powerful than my sister's. .”

Concubine Shu had too many unexpected surprises today. Not only was the prince bedridden, but the prince was also implicated in a pill case. What's more, the prince was not even suitable to inherit the throne!With so many surprises like this, Concubine Shu felt a little pity for the queen.

Hearing what the queen and concubine Shu said, Yun Jingya came to her senses, "What the queen mother said is reasonable. What's more, even ordinary people would never do such a thing of drinking poison to quench their thirst, let alone His Highness the crown prince?"

The Yun Jingya who was just now was surrounded by Liu Banxia with words, but luckily the queen called her, and she broke free.The queen heard Yun Jingya's words and knew that she had figured it out, so she nodded with a smile.

At this time, the guard who took Liu Banxia away just now came in, clasped his fists and said, "I want to report to your mother, Liu Banxia is weak, and he has received 75 boards in total. If he continues beating, his life may be in danger."

The cane punishment in this palace is very severe, an ordinary person might die if they receive forty boards.The reason why Liu Banxia survived was because the executioners were well-measured. Just now, the queen ordered that no one should be beaten to death.

Hearing the guard's reply, the queen said coldly: "Could it be that rod punishment is the only punishment in the palace? Since Liu Banxia's health is not good, let's change his fingers. Go and give him the punishment!"

The guard responded and hurried out.After a while, Liu Banxia was dragged in again.At this time, Liu Banxia's fingers were red and swollen, and all ten fingers were covered with bruises. Obviously, he had been tortured.

Seeing Liu Banxia dying, the queen didn't show any pity at all, but asked coldly: "Liu Banxia, ​​at this time, are you willing to bring all the truth into account?"

The queen's question was very ingenious, as long as Liu Banxia agreed, all the previous words would be tantamount to lies.The prince was also taken out of this pill case without any trace.

Liu Banxia couldn't even lie down well at this time, so she could only lean on the ground with her elbows, and then supported her entire upper body with her arms.Hearing the Queen's question, he opened his mouth and said, "As long as the Queen doesn't use torture anymore, I'm willing to reveal everything."

At this time, Liu Banxia has been tortured to the point of being inhuman. The red cloth behind his back has long been soaked with blood and stuck tightly to his back. His hands are even swollen like carrots. Su Wan was also a little moved.

Hearing Liu Banxia's words, the queen smiled slightly. "Since you are willing to recruit, I will naturally not torture you. I ask you, who is behind this matter?"

With Liu Banxia's ability and courage, he definitely won't be his envoy.Firstly, even if he kills the prince, he won't get much benefit in the end; secondly, he doesn't have the ability, let alone the means, to do this.

Hearing what the queen said, Su Wan also became interested. This Liu Banxia is already such a tough character, so what kind of person should he recruit?It's interesting to think about it.

Liu Banxia thanked her first, then panted and said: "Reporting to the Empress, this matter is what the fourth concubine told me to do, and those pills were also handed over to me by the fourth concubine. Please, Your Royal Highness, please learn from me."

Su Wan, who was still interested in hearing what happened next, was suddenly startled, and then her brows frowned. She had already guessed that the second princess would plant her as a victim, but she didn't expect that she would use the It's such an old-fashioned way!
Before she had time to think about it, Su Wan immediately got up and saluted and said, "Empress, Liu Banxia is just talking nonsense! This concubine has never had such thoughts. I don't want to, I was framed by a villain today!"

At this time, Su Wan knew who the black hand was behind it, but she couldn't say it. If she told the black hand behind it, even if the queen believed it, she would definitely pretend not to believe it and arrest Su Wan.

Because the person behind the scenes is the second concubine sitting opposite her!If the empress believed in her words, then the second concubine would definitely be brought in, but if this were the case, the empress would be waiting to tear herself apart from concubine Shu.Although the empress is in power at this time, and Yun Jingya is in charge of supervising the country, but His Royal Highness is bedridden, and this is not the best time to tear yourself apart.

Liu Banxia, ​​who was lying on the ground, looked at Su Wan and said bitterly: "Fourth prince concubine, originally the villain thought you would excuse the villain in front of the queen, so I persisted until now. I never thought that not only did you not excuse me, but also Say I slandered you!"

Seeing the resentful look in Liu Banxia's eyes, Su Wan was a little puzzled, it seemed that Liu Banxia really hated herself.However, it was clearly the first time I saw him today, so why would he hate me so much for frowning?

The empress standing on the top also said coldly: "Liu Banxia, ​​don't bite me carelessly. If you dare to slander the concubines and concubines in the palace, I will let you know that the law of the harem is not a joke. of!"

Unexpectedly, things really went as Jingya guessed, and Su Wan was indeed instigating behind her back!However, looking at Su Wan's appearance, she really doesn't seem to know, so what's going on?

Liu Banxia looked at his red and swollen hands and said: "Empress, it's already at such a time, how can a villain grab and bite? Even if you are magnanimous, Empress, can the punishment in the harem spare the little one?"

Yun Jingya who was sitting next to her nodded slightly when she heard Liu Banxia's words.Liu Banxia's words were exactly the same as what he had deduced at the beginning, and, just now, Liu Banxia had already bitten at random.Now that he is half dead, what should be said is the truth.

At this moment, only a majestic female voice in the palace sounded, "If you frame the Fourth Prince and Concubine, this Palace will definitely let you not survive or die!"
