Jiao Luan

Chapter 468
Zhu Hongxi and the others retreated to the side and waited quietly until about a cup of tea passed, and the noble concubine Hua hanging on the beam no longer even swayed, then they stepped forward and put the person down carefully.

Zhu Hongxi signaled two servants to come forward and investigate.

One of the servants sniffed the noble concubine Tanhua, and said to Zhu Hongxi: "The imperial concubine has passed away."

Zhu Hongxi let out a long sigh: "You guard the imperial concubine, I will report to the emperor."

The Changchun Palace was quiet, and the cicadas on the tree were screaming more and more annoyingly. Zhu Hongxi hurried out against the bright sun, passing by the bare oleander that had been eradicated long ago, he couldn't help but pause, followed by another A long sigh.

Today, he was ordered by the emperor to kill Concubine Hua, and the prince will succeed to the throne in the future, how could he let him go!

Although he lived a long time and enjoyed a lot of good times, whoever thinks life is long is the same as no one thinks money is short.

Zhu Hongxi squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.

Cough cough, if there is a chance, I will step on it secretly. It would be great if I can step on the prince, and the one from the Compassionate Ning Palace must be happy to see it.

The prince left Changchun Palace, thought for a while, and went straight to Qianqing Palace to meet Emperor Changqing.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince is kneeling on the steps outside the hall." The servant came in and told Emperor Changqing.

Although Emperor Changqing gave Concubine Hua the death to relieve his hatred, he was not in a good mood.

After all, that woman is the prince's biological mother and has been with him for more than 20 years.After so many years, even raising a dog has feelings, let alone a woman who was once loved.

Hearing that the crown prince was coming, Emperor Changqing heaved a sigh of relief after having a headache, and said, "Tell the crown prince to come in."

Not long after, the prince appeared in front of Emperor Changqing and knelt down as soon as he met him.

Emperor Changqing asked, "Have you seen your mother and concubine?"

The prince trembled all over and said, "I have seen it, my son is guilty."

Emperor Changqing raised his eyebrows: "What is the prince's crime?"

The crown prince bowed his head and said: "The minister has heard the whole story from the concubine mother, and he dare not ask the emperor to forgive the concubine mother. He only asks the emperor to give the son minister the crime to alleviate the concubine mother's crime."

The crown prince's action made Emperor Changqing feel relieved, and sighed: "Prince, since you know that your mother and concubine have made a big mistake, you should know that I can't not deal with it. It's good for you to have such a heart, but you Apart from being the son of your mother and concubine, she is also the crown prince of a country, so there is no need to talk about taking the blame for your mother. Externally, your mother and concubine died of a serious illness, and I will bury her with the honor of a noble concubine, so you can do it yourself."

The prince was overjoyed.

Sure enough, the emperor still cared about his face.

"But I really can't bear to see my mother and concubine go away like this. Father, you should punish the son and minister together. As long as you can spare the life of the mother and concubine, you can punish the son and minister in any way you want."

The prince put on an appearance of a dutiful son to intercede for Concubine Hua, and Zhu Hongxi hurried in: "Your Majesty, the concubine has passed away."

"What!" The prince slumped down on the ground, looking shocked, and murmured, "How come, I told my concubine mother to tell her to wait until I see the emperor no matter what, how could concubine mother? gone so soon?"

He suddenly looked at Zhu Hongxi: "Eunuch Zhu, is it because the concubine mother is unwilling, and you are forcing her to—"

"Shut up!" Emperor Changqing scolded, thinking that Concubine Hua Gui had passed away, he couldn't help but soften a little towards the prince, and looked at Zhu Hongxi.

Zhu Hongxi wiped off his sweat and said: "Back to the emperor, as soon as the servants and others entered the door, they found that the imperial concubine had already surrendered."

"Why didn't my concubine wait for me to come to intercede with my father?" The crown prince looked greatly shocked, and suddenly burst into tears, "Concubine mother, my son is sorry for you, you must be trying to prevent my son from embarrassing—"

There was a sound of puff, and the prince seemed to be stuck in the neck, and the crying was cut off suddenly.

The room was silent for a while.

The prince was stunned.

He just... was condescending again?
Is God playing tricks on him, causing him to suffer from this strange disease for no reason!

The prince was so embarrassed that he couldn't continue the performance.

Emperor Changqing was also speechless. He wanted to reprimand the prince for his misconduct. He knew that he didn't do it intentionally, but the pity he had just raised was instantly tossed away by the indecent sound, so he waved his hands and said, "Come on , send the prince back to the East Palace."

The news of Concubine Hua's death quickly spread everywhere.

King Ping was overjoyed when he found out, and immediately went to the palace to see Concubine Shu.

"The person who poisoned the Empress Dowager must be Concubine Hua, because she died of depression due to self-blame, and was dealt with secretly by the emperor!"

Concubine Shu shook her head: "The poisoner may be related to Concubine Hua, but it may not be her. I'm still a little strange..."

"What's strange?"

Concubine Shu smiled: "Your father is not a cruel person. The Queen Mother is safe and sound now, even if he thinks it was Concubine Hua who poisoned her, it stands to reason that she will only put Concubine Hua in the cold palace, not execute her secretly."

"Mother Concubine means—"

"I guess, because of the poisoning of the Queen Mother, your father must have found out the more evil things that Concubine Hua has done, so she ended up like this."

"Great!"

Concubine Shu looked sideways: "Zhen'er?"

King Ping hurriedly suppressed his joy: "My son said that the enchanting concubine has committed many evils, and her end today is also retribution."

What evil is worse than poisoning the Queen Mother?

Tired of the house, Concubine Hua Gui made a big mistake, it's no wonder that the royal father still has a good face towards the prince!
Thinking of the prince's successive embarrassments recently, King Ping had a feeling of God's will.

Maybe it's really because the heavens don't want to see that Xibei dove occupy the magpie's nest, that's why so many things happened.

Concubine Shu couldn't hide her excitement when she saw King Ping, and persuaded: "Zhen'er, you must not show joy in front of outsiders. No matter how much your father dislikes Concubine Hua, she is also your concubine in name, and it will annoy you if your father sees it." Thin."

"My son understands."

When Ping Wang returned to Ping Wang's mansion, he immediately called the secret guard to order to go down secretly.

Concubine Hua Gui had just passed away, and a rumor spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.

"What, there are rumors outside that the prince is the son of Mu Enbo, who was replaced into the palace by Concubine Hua Guidai Li Daitao. Now that the incident happened, Concubine Hua Gui was executed secretly by me?" Emperor Changqing almost dared not Trust your ears.

Because the secret guards were ordered to secretly investigate the prince's son in various parts of the capital, the news spread all over the streets and alleys did not disappear after a while like many folk rumors, but spread to Changqing immediately. In the ear of the emperor.

Emperor Changqing's old face was completely darkened, and he was so angry that he walked back and forth in the room, kicking a small cockroach with his feet.

It's really unreasonable that such a son is actually rumored to belong to someone else's family. It's too miserable for him to be an emperor!

"Check, find out where the rumors started for me, and I will definitely not take it lightly!"

Zhu Hongxi did not expect that the opportunity to step on the prince would come so soon, and he boldly persuaded him immediately: "Your Majesty, the rumors started by the people are often untraceable, and this servant thinks that the most urgent thing to do is to focus on finding out about the prince."

Regardless of whether the first prince is alive or dead, with such rumors, the life of the prince will be difficult.
