Concubine like a house

Chapter 194 It’s Okay to Sink into a Crazy Man (3)
Indeed, Chuxiu understood.She unconsciously raised her hand to pinch the skirt of the shirt, a trace of defense flashed in her eyes.Seeing that Nie Peixiao made no secret of "that" intention, she lowered her eyebrows and pondered, as if she was seriously considering whether this method was feasible.

And Nie Peixiao waited and watched, witnessing Chuxiu's struggle and hesitation.He admitted that he was despicable, but it was difficult for him to say clearly, did he hope that Chuxiu would refuse, or that she would agree?
Time flowed slowly, the atmosphere gradually became ambiguous, and Nie Peixiao's heart was hanging in the air.Chuxiu's expression seemed to give him a glimmer of hope, but he knew that if he "succeeded", he would lose Chuxiu's respect from now on.

Knowing what to say at this time, maybe just add another fire to shake Chuxiu's will and let him take advantage of it.But this thought was so shameful that Nie Peixiao wanted to move her heart, but she didn't say it outright, she just let Chuxiu experience it for herself.

Even he himself thinks this idea is dirty, obviously, Chuxiu feels it even more dirty.

After waiting for a long time, I finally got a decision.The hesitation on Chuxiu's face flashed away, and then disappeared.

"Exchanging his life in this way, he will suffer more than death." Chuxiu calmly bowed and saluted, "I will take my leave."

When hearing the word "concubine body", Nie Peixiao smiled self-deprecatingly: "You must call me a gentleman in your heart, and you are extremely disappointed in me."

Chuxiu shook his head, said nothing, opened the door and walked out silently.

"Come out of Xiu." Nie Peixiao suddenly regretted it again, he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.It's sour, jealous, and desperate.Behind her, he sincerely apologized: "I was just confused for a while, and my mind was lost...don't blame me."

"No. I have no right to blame anyone." This time I went out of Xiuxiu without looking back, standing like a quiet plant.She looked up at the sky and walked up again.

"Where are you going?" Nie Peixiao still persisted in asking, "Who else do you want to ask?"

"Heaven grants the emperor." Chuxiu kept walking, and left decisively after speaking...

Two days later.

Shen Yu and Ming Zhang were escorted back to Beijing, and the former was temporarily placed under house arrest in the Marquis of Weiyuan, waiting to be dealt with.

The generals who surrendered from the North began to gather all night, actively discussing how to rescue Shen Yu.Everyone thought that King Cheng would come forward to intercede for Shen Yu at this time, but unfortunately, there was no movement in Prince Cheng's mansion, and Nie Peixiao thanked the guests behind closed doors.

People in Jingzhou were in a state of panic, and the ministers in the imperial court speculated about the holy intentions, and the news they heard was almost the same—the Emperor Tianshou was furious, and he wanted to deal with Shen Yu severely, so as to serve as an example to others.

Another day later, two decrees were passed down from Yingyuan Palace:

The first is the result of the treatment of the Ming family - Mingzhang committed a rebellion with the intention of rebellion, and was executed in the early hours of the same day, implicating the nine clans.

With this decree, even the dead Mingying could not escape the guilt.Although He Lianqi had written the letter of divorce first, he failed to keep his young son and daughter.Because Mingzhang's nine relatives also included his sister and nephew.

Although the Helian family was not one of Mingzhang's nine clans and was not implicated, after this incident, the Helian family's status in the court declined even more.On the day when the decree of the Tianshou Emperor was issued, He Lianqi resigned in public at the morning court, and internally also resigned from the position of patriarch.

The century-old hairpin family, the Helian clan, is officially going into decline, and it has become a period of depression in Kyushu history.

No one knew where He Lianqi had gone. After losing his wife, children, official position and family affairs one after another, he left Jingzhou City at night.

Apart from the order to dispose of the Ming family, the Emperor Tianshou also made another order - Marquis of Weiyuan, Shen Yu, who disobeyed the emperor, refused to comply with the order, was suspected of murdering the emperor's descendants, stripped of his title, beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and executed at a certain date.

The first decree stated that the crimes committed by the Ming family were long and numerous, but this one, with just a few words, determined Shen Yu's life and death.

On the day when the decree was issued, Shen Yu was imprisoned in the Gyeonggi prison at the same time that He Lianqi resigned from office. Even the steps of torture were omitted, and he was directly branded as a death row prisoner.

Fortunately, the commander of the Gyeonggi Imperial Guard had some friendship with Shen Yu, so he didn't embarrass him. He even made some conveniences within his duties - three meals a day could be swallowed, and the prison room was also isolated, isolated from one corner. It's fairly tidy.

Shen Yu's death is imminent on this side, but the Emperor Tianshou on the other side still can't let go of it, only the concubine Dan, who is pregnant, dares to come close to serve him.

Coinciding with these major events in the court, and the empress and Danxin were pregnant again, the Emperor Tianshou simply disappeared from the harem, only occasionally inviting Danxin to eat with him.

Hundreds of dishes were placed on the table in a flowing style, Tianshoudi patiently tried them one by one, and forced him to eat lightly.

It is strange to say that the woman next to her is pregnant, so besides her bloated waist, her face will gradually become fatter.But Danxin still has a palm-sized oval face, not much changed from usual, only the slightly raised belly proves that she is three months pregnant.

The more so, the more sympathetic Emperor Tianshou became, fearing that she would lose her appetite every day, he ordered the imperial dining room to cook delicacies in different ways.

But on this day, Danxin's appetite was particularly weak, and he looked preoccupied.Emperor Tianshou was also depressed, but he still asked patiently: "Uncomfortable? Can you tell the imperial doctor to take a look?"

Danxin bit her lip, raised her eyes and asked, "My lord, did you make an order today..."

There was a "click", before the indifferent words were finished, the Emperor Tianshou had put down his chopsticks, and scolded: "You should not talk about this matter, and concubines should not discuss government affairs indiscriminately."

"I'm not talking about government affairs indiscriminately." Danxin quickly explained, "I have known the young master for many years, counting it for more than ten years... Now that he has been framed, I can't just let him die."

"You want to speak for him? Do you know what crime he has committed?" The phoenix eyes of the Tianshou Emperor narrowed slightly, and there was a hidden sign of Long Yan's anger.

"I know, but he was also framed." Danxin suddenly choked up, and became emotional, "You are blaming him for killing Zihan, aren't you?"

"It's not that he killed Zihan..." Emperor Tianshou admitted without hesitation, "It's because I look forward to that child."

He has been waiting for too long to have a daughter who looks like Luan Su and has a personality like Dan Xin!He had even thought of what to name her!What a title!
If it wasn't for that child, how could he tolerate Zihan?
Until now, Empress Zhuang is still under house arrest in the Fengchao Palace. It is said that she is raising a baby. In fact, it is because she let Zihan out of the palace privately, causing him to be kidnapped and disappeared. Emperor Tianshou severely punished her.

The queen was grounded for three months. Although this punishment did not hurt the flesh, it was enough to lose face.

"I know you like that child. I am more sad than you when the child is gone." Dan Xin choked up, "You once promised me that the child, regardless of gender, would be raised by me. A few days ago, I started I asked the mother in the palace to make small clothes and shoes and socks by myself, and I prepared double portions..."

At this point, tears finally flowed down indifferently: "Zihan is dead, that child is innocent, how can I not be sad? But this is not the fault of the young master! He fell into the trap of the Ming family... Your Majesty, you should not have given him the death penalty."

"What do you mean 'shouldn'?" Emperor Tianshou's face darkened when he heard the words, "If he returns to Beijing according to the order properly, how can the Ming family's trick succeed?"

Danxin opened his mouth to defend again, but was blocked by Emperor Tianshou: "You are raising a baby in Lingxi Palace, how do you know about these gossips? Who is behind the scenes, I only recently found out, how do you know it is Mingzhang?"

Dazed for a moment, consciously slipping his tongue, he had no choice but to purse his lips and remain silent.

"You can know what's going on outside, it can be seen that there is Yun's eyeliner in this palace..."

"Bang Dang" suddenly sounded, and the Tianshou Emperor swept the dishes in front of him with a flick of his sleeve, and suddenly stood up and asked: "Which one of you is from the Yun family? Have you forgotten that your surname is Tang now? Is it because you live too comfortably, or Relying on my pampering you?"

Danxin was startled, and immediately shook her head in denial: "No, no, I didn't hear it from the people of the Yun family. I... heard it from the people in the palace."

"Which slave dares to chew his tongue?" Emperor Tianshou asked sharply.

The emperor's voice was full of anger, and all the servants were so frightened that they knelt down and pleaded guilty.Emperor Tianshou raised his hand and pointed at the door: "Get out!"

The maidservants and eunuchs didn't even dare to breathe, and repeatedly pleaded guilty and resigned.Only Tianshoudi and Danxin were left in the room, and both fell silent.

Danxin naturally wouldn't tell Emperor Tianshou that it was Zhuying who sent her the news.She originally wanted to intercede on behalf of Xiumian before she came out... She didn't expect to violate the emperor's taboo.

Seeing that Danxin had been refusing to speak, Emperor Tianshou knew that she had lost her mind again, so he sneered: "Since there are people from the Yun family in Lingxi Palace who are gossiping, then we will deal with them all, and replace them with a group of dumb people!"

"Your Majesty!" Danxin was terrified and almost fell off the seat.She opened her eyes wide in horror, she couldn't believe that Emperor Tianshou would be so angry and say such bloody words.

"Do you want to bloodbath the Lingxi Palace?" Dan Xin's eyes were hot again, but there seemed to be a cold wave hidden in her heart, impulsive, icy cold, and chilled through her heart.

She stood up slowly with her arms supported, and regardless of her three-month pregnancy, she insisted on kneeling down, tearfully saying, "Since you want to punish, you should punish the concubine first."

"What are you doing nonsense!" Emperor Tianshou was so angry that his eyes were scarlet, and the veins on his forehead gradually showed, but he still tried his best to restrain himself, "I think you are pregnant, and your emotions should not fluctuate, so I don't care about you."

But Danxin knelt on the ground and wept endlessly: "You want to wash the Lingxi Palace with blood. As the head of the first palace, the minister and concubine have no way to discipline the subordinates, so we can only apologize first."

"Okay! Okay! Even you are against you! Mrs. Chuxiu is really good at teaching!" The Tianshou Emperor had a gloomy face, kicked the dining table away and walked out the door.He walked extremely slowly, against his will, waiting for Danxin to be the first to admit his mistake.

But Danxin kept kneeling, with tears streaming down her face, and murmured stubbornly: "You still can't let Luan Su go... So I'm really just a stand-in..."

"What did you say?" The Tianshou Emperor suddenly changed color, turned around and asked, "Do you dare to say it again?!"

Danxin raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears, then put his hands on his lower abdomen, sobbing and said: "After Zihan disappeared, you couldn't sleep all night, can my concubine not understand? Are you concerned about Zihan?" Child, isn't it because of Luan Su?"

Kneeling on the ground indifferently, looking at Emperor Tianshou with tearful and pitiful eyes, there is no fear, only sadness: "First deal with the empress empress, and then the young master and the Yun family... You are furious because you hate them for breaking the law." It's just your fantasy."

Danxin's words were so ironic and heartbreaking: "I originally thought that although I couldn't compare with Luan Su, I couldn't be much lower in your heart. Only now do I realize that I am overestimated."

After saying that, she kowtowed slowly, and said disheartenedly: "Your Majesty does not need to bloodbath the Lingxi Palace, and my concubines please follow the example of the empress and wait for delivery."

Confinement to wait for childbirth means that you will no longer see the emperor, no longer be favored, and you will not be able to take a step out of the Consonance Palace.

"Confinement to wait for delivery..." Emperor Tianshou stared at Danxin for a long while, and his heart became cold.He clenched his hands into fists suddenly, and just when he thought he was about to get angry, he slammed three words, "I'm sure!"

Then he slammed the door and left.

The Emperor Tianshou stepped out of the Lingxi Palace, and Cen Jiang had already greeted him, and immediately knelt down after observing his words: "The Holy Majesty calm down, the concubine Dan is thinking a lot during pregnancy, and her words are colliding, I hope you..."

"Are you speaking for Danxin?" Tianshoudi asked rhetorically before Cen Jiang finished speaking.

"I don't dare." Cen Jiang hesitated for a moment, then changed his words, "Mrs. Chuxiu has been waiting outside the palace gate for half an hour."

"No wonder..." Tian Shudi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and killing intent flashed past.

Seeing this, Cen Jiang's heart trembled: "Did you see it or not?"

Emperor Tianshou pondered for a moment, then said, "What did she say?"

"Madame Chuxiu said...she took off her hairpin as Hanchu to plead for Shen Yu." Cen Jiang glanced at the emperor cautiously, and then said, "She also said..."

"say what?"

"Mrs. Chuxiu said...if your will is determined, she begged to execute Shen Yu on the same day." When he said the last four words, Cen Jiang couldn't bear to speak.

"Executed on the same day?" The God Granted Emperor laughed loudly, the murderous intent reappeared in his phoenix eyes, "What a loving and righteous Han Chu! I will fulfill her!"

Cen Jiang didn't expect the emperor to be so angry, and hurriedly said, "Think twice, Your Majesty! After all, Mrs. Chuxiu belongs to the Yun family..."

"She said she is Han Chu, so what has she got to do with the Yun family?" Emperor Tianshou said sternly, "Her biggest mistake was to use indifference to fight against me. For this alone, she deserves to die !"
