Chapter 63

"My son is unfilial, please punish me!" the prince kowtowed heavily after finishing speaking.

Emperor Jing looked at the prince kneeling in front of him and the queen who was sobbing beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Bring the princess in!"

"Father, my son was wronged. I didn't push my side concubine, and I didn't even know she was pregnant!" The crown princess immediately shouted for grievances as soon as she came in.

Hearing this, Emperor Jing didn't respond, but turned to the prince, "Where are those witnesses now?"

"Go back to Emperor Father, and wait in the side hall." Then he signaled to bring him up.

"Slaves see Your Majesty."

Two court ladies came in, Emperor Jing had seen them before, one was by the concubine's side, and the other was by the concubine's side, "Tell me clearly, what's going on."

"Returning to Your Majesty, this morning the side concubine said she was going to take a walk in the garden, and the servant girl went with her. Who would have thought that she met the crown princess on the way and gave our empress a slap without saying a word. Our empress was so angry that she asked the crown princess why In this way, who would have thought that the Crown Princess would actually push our empress into the lake." The maid burst into tears and kowtowed to Emperor Jing, "Your Majesty, please make decisions for the side concubine and the unborn child!"

"You're talking nonsense. It's obvious that your master was waiting for me there on purpose, and deliberately humiliating me with evil words. That's why I beat her. She jumped into the lake by herself." The princess was so angry.

"Okay, Lingjiao, you are the personal maid of the princess, tell me." Emperor Jing interrupted, looking at the woman kneeling on the left.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's doting on the side concubine. She is dissatisfied. Yesterday she learned that the side concubine is pregnant. She was so angry that she made a big mistake. Please forgive me."

"You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? It's a waste of my palace treating you like this!" When the princess heard Ling Jiao's words, she couldn't hold back and rushed over to give her two slaps.

Seeing that the Crown Princess wanted to make a move, Emperor Jing's expression darkened terribly, "Presumptuous, how dare you be so rude in front of me!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the little eunuch at the side hurriedly held down the princess, "Let me go, what are you, you dare to be rude to me!"

It has been proved by others that the Crown Princess is so presumptuous. Emperor Jing no longer wants to interrogate him. He has lost a grandson, which is an indisputable fact. .”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be gracious, Your Majesty." The Crown Princess kept begging for mercy when she heard these words, but no one cared about her cries, and was still dragged down.

"Father, it's all the son's fault that caused the side concubine to lose the child, and made the father and queen mother bothered and sad. It's the son's disobedience. Please punish the father." The prince knelt down after finishing speaking.

"Prince, get up, you lost your child, how can you not be sad, it's not your fault, it's all the princess, you don't have to blame yourself, there is also a side concubine, let her take care of her body, the days are still long, don't be too sad It's gone." Emperor Jing raised his hand to signal the prince to stand up, and said in relief.

"Yes, my son, thank you, Father."

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to visit the side concubine. She must be very sad after losing her child." The queen on the side wiped away her tears and said.

Emperor Jing thought for a while, "Alright, then the empress can comfort the side concubine well, I have something to do in the previous court, so I will leave first."

"Yes, my concubine will send you off to His Majesty respectfully."

"My son respectfully sends the father to the emperor."

……

On the other side, the princess was locked in her own room after being taken down, "Open the door, open the door! Let me see the prince, I was really wronged, really wronged!"

But after shouting for a long time, no one responded to her. Slowly she calmed down. It seemed that she was really rejected by His Majesty, Queen and Prince, and she squatted by the door and curled up helplessly.

She had already lost the support of her natal family, and now she was reduced to a concubine, so there was no way for her to survive.Thinking of this, she couldn't help shivering...

Until late at night, someone entered her room, and seeing someone coming, the sleepy person was terrified, "You, what do you want to do, don't come, don't come!"

……

The next day, after Emperor Jing came down to court, the palace servants around the prince rushed in to report, "Your Majesty, the princess, she, committed suicide last night."

"What?!" Upon hearing the news, Emperor Jing immediately rushed to the crown prince's womb.

After he passed by, he saw that the body of the princess had been covered with a white cloth. The prince was sitting beside him in a daze, and the queen was wiping tears. Seeing him coming, the queen got up and saluted quickly, but the prince was still in a daze, as if I can't believe that the princess just went like this.

"Your Majesty forgive me, the emperor is too sad." Seeing this, the Queen explained.

"What's going on?" Emperor Jing didn't pursue the prince's rudeness, but asked in the direction of the princess.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is a letter written by the Crown Princess before she died." The queen took out the letter and handed it to the emperor.

Emperor Jing looked at the letter in his hand, and then at the white silk hanging on the beam, "Since you have confessed, let's deal with it."

Hearing this, the prince finally reacted and knelt on the ground to intercede, "Father, the princess has done something wrong and should be punished, but the deceased has passed away. For the sake of her being with her son and minister for many years, please forgive me show mercy."

Looking at the prince kneeling on the ground begging, Emperor Jing finally nodded, "Then follow the prince's wishes and bury him as a concubine."

"My son thanked my father."

After speaking, Emperor Jing turned and left.

……

It didn't take long for the Crown Princess to harm the emperor's heir and was demoted to a concubine. She had a bad conscience and committed suicide that night. The Crown Prince read that she had been with her for many years and specifically asked His Majesty to be buried as a concubine. The news reached the ears of the people in the capital. Everyone talked about it.

In a civilian house.

After the man finished listening to the report, his tone was slightly regretful, "It's a pity."

The Crown Princess Su Shi is Su Xueyao, the daughter of the previous Prime Minister Su Qian. If her father was still around, she would not have ended up in such a state...

"Has the matter been settled?" When he came back to his senses, the man looked at the person kneeling on the ground.

"Master Hui, people have already entered."

"Well, let's go with the plan."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, the man disappeared, and not long after, a man came in from outside the door. He was wearing a hood, and his face could not be seen clearly. The voice was a woman.

"Young master, the matter has been settled, what should I do next?"

"Someone has already entered. You can contact her according to the method above, and then stay by her side and follow her orders." He said and handed her a note.

The woman took the note, wrote down the method on it, and then burned the paper, "My lord, it's nothing that I'm leaving first."

"Well, let's go." Then, as if remembering something, he called someone to remind him: "If you start, you may lose your life at any time."

The woman didn't turn her head when she heard the words, but her tone was firm, "Sir, you don't need to say too much. Since I have chosen this path, I will never regret it. Even if it is death, it is worth it." Just leave without saying anything else.

It wasn't until the person completely left that the man sighed...
