Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 197 Death

 This accident completely broke the tranquility on the surface of the inner palace.

The eighth princess, Qingyuan, had fainted from pain since the accident. After being revived by the imperial doctor, she started talking nonsense like crazy and struggled wildly with her hands and feet. The wound that had stopped bleeding started to fall again. She was torn apart, and in desperation, the imperial doctor had to forcefully give her a soothing potion.

 In the afternoon, her daughter was talking to her about getting married. In the blink of an eye, Concubine Meng was like this. Concubine Meng was crying so hard that her heart was broken.

 In the main hall, the female officials, maids, and eunuchs who were accompanying him knelt on the ground, all of them trembling with fear.

Emperor Ming Long Yan was furious and pointed at everyone and scolded: "Are you all useless? A group of people were protecting the princess, but they let a bird hurt her like this."

Emperor Ming swung his dragon sleeves coldly and said angrily: "What use are you left with such waste? Come here, pull them all down and behead them!"

“It’s wrong, it’s wrong, your majesty has mercy, your majesty has mercy.”

 Inside the main hall, everything was miserable and miserable.

Concubine Meng came out of the inner hall and vented all her raging anger on the palace people.

Her eyes revealed a cold light, her silver teeth clenched, and she sternly said to the palace servants who were serving her daughter: "You fools, if you can't take good care of the princess, how can you still live with dignity? If I don't punish you, it's really hard to understand what's going on in my heart." Hate."

As she said that, she cried again and fell into Emperor Ming's arms: "Your Majesty, our daughter is only sixteen. She is injured like this before she is married. How can I live like this?"

Emperor Ming was also heartbroken. He pointed at the trembling palace servants and ordered Li Dequan, the leader of the inner palace outside: "According to what the noble concubine said, I will execute them all in Lingchi. Those who have family members will also be executed together."

 The Holy Emperor's favorite princess was injured, and another **** storm was inevitable in the palace.

Li Dequan glanced at the group of palace servants who were half scared to death, sighed slightly, and was about to go out to call for people.

At this moment, the Ninth Princess Qingluan entered the inner hall. She bowed and kowtowed to Emperor Ming and said: "Father, I was also present when the Eighth Emperor's sister had an accident today. Although the Eighth Princess was injured by an eagle, this is not the case. It was an accident, but someone did it on purpose.”

Before Emperor Ming could say anything, Concubine Meng, who was crying hard, asked hurriedly: "Who wants to harm my daughter?"

His beloved daughter was injured like this. Emperor Ming only tortured the serving palace servants, and did not have time to investigate the others in detail.

After listening to Qingluan's words, Emperor Ming suppressed his anger and asked doubtfully: "What do you think of this? Please tell me in detail."

Qingluan raised his head and replied to Emperor Ming: "According to my son, I know that the falcon was raised by Shen, the wife of the eldest son of the Li family. Today, the eighth sister and the cousin of the Li family originally had a quarrel over a trivial matter, but that Shen But she favored the cousin of the Li family and spoke rudely to the eighth sister. The eighth sister was so angry that she stepped forward and pushed her, and then Mrs. Shen took advantage of her and hurt the eighth sister. "

After listening to Qingluan's words, Emperor Ming slammed his palm on the table and said angrily: "What a Mr. Shen, you are so bold."

Although Emperor Ming had a lot of shortcomings, he was not a mediocre person. After venting his anger, he interrogated the people accompanying him again: "You were also on the spot, and there is such a thing. Why did you do it when I just interrogated you?" No one mentioned it to me?"

Everyone complained one after another, and the leading female official said in horror: "It is indeed as the Ninth Princess said, when the Eighth Princess was arguing with Shen, the falcon rushed down suddenly, and before the slaves could recover, the beast was injured. Princess. It’s just that all the noble families bring falcons with them for winter hunting, and the servants really don’t know that the falcons are raised by the Shen family.”

Qingluan hurriedly said: "Father, just one day before the eighth sister's accident, I just went to the Zhenguogongfu tent to play with my cousin of the Li family. I saw Mrs. Shen feeding the eagle with my own eyes. I saw that the eagle was strange. She also asked her where it came from, and Shen even told Erchen that it was a gift from her natal family in Chaozhou."

The palace servants thought they would die due to poor care of the princess, but they did not expect that the ninth princess actually brought an opportunity to divert trouble to the east. The female officer quickly added: "That falcon is covered in red gold. As far as my servant knows, there are only falcons like this in the mountains." The country has talent, and Chaozhou is not far from Gaoshan Country, so it can be seen that everything the Ninth Princess said is true."

Concubine Meng Guifei has been immersed in grief since her daughter's accident. Now after listening to Qingluan's words, she has come to terms with it. Qingyuan told her in her tent today about the relationship between the third girl from Zhenguo Gongfu and the prince Zhongshun Hou. It can be seen that after coming out of the tent, she went to find the third girl from the Li family. The two must have argued over this. When she got up, Mrs. Shen helped her own girl, the eighth princess who had been injured by Zong Ying.

Concubine Meng said angrily to Emperor Ming: "The Li family girl and the Shen family teamed up to harm our daughter. They are really worthy of death."

Qingluan knew that the third girl was supported by an aunt that even his father was afraid of. No matter how angry his father was, he would not do anything to her. Besides, although Qingluan did not like the third girl, he had no enmity with her and could not harm her. she.

Qingluan’s target is Jingshu, and he is determined to eradicate Jingshu through this.

Qingluan was scrupulous when Emperor Ming mentioned the Zhenguo Palace, and fanned the flames: "Father, the Zhenguo Palace is my mother's family. What reason do I have to frame the Shen family? I just saw that the Eighth Sister was really being raped." They were so hurt that they came to express their feelings to Father."

As he spoke, Qingluan started to cry.

Qingluan was often bullied by the eighth sister, and he hated her in his heart. Today, when he saw that her eyes were pecked by the falcon, Qingluan was so happy that he wanted to beat gongs and drums to celebrate.

 But it is true that she hates the eighth princess, but she hates Jingshu even more.

Qingluan will naturally not miss this rare opportunity to put Jingshu to death.

If the father wanted to execute Shen in a rage, it would be better. If he refused to kill her for the sake of the Zhenguo Palace, at least he would have to order the Zhenguo Palace to abandon her. Then, she found another opportunity to ask her father to surrender her to her cousin.

 Wouldn’t it be that her lifelong wish was fulfilled?

Qingluan is best at crying. Even though her heart is full of joy and anticipation, because she cries a lot on weekdays, even if she is just pretending, the tears just come.

"Father, Mrs. Shen is really too vicious. She hurt my eighth sister like this. Yesterday, the eighth sister told me that after the Chinese New Year, she would take me to play in the palace you sent her to. In the blink of an eye, She was harmed like this, a strong person like her is now blinded in one eye, how can she bear it?"

Qingluan cried miserably: "My son and my eighth sister grew up together, and our love is as deep as the sea. If there is something wrong with her, then I don't want to live anymore."

 It sounds like they have a deep love for each other.

Emperor Ming really couldn't bear to offend his niece, but he had no scruples about Jingshu, who had no blood relationship and was of low birth.

It's just a woman. After dealing with it, just give Li Ling a marriage.

Emperor Ming said angrily: "I can't believe that the Shen family from a small family can be so unruly!"

As soon as Qingluan heard this, he immediately stopped crying and said to Emperor Ming: "Father, you have to make the decision for the eighth sister. If you don't let the Shen family die, you can relieve the hatred in your heart."

Emperor Ming became angry and shouted outside the palace: "Here comes someone!"

Li Dequan, who had been waiting outside, also entered cautiously, bowed and said, "What are the instructions from the Holy One?"

Emperor Ming replied coldly: "I went to order the Ministry of Rites to draw up an edict. Shen, the wife of the crown prince of the Duke of Zhenguo, despised the royal family, injured the princess with an eagle, stripped her of the royal title, and gave her poisonous wine."
