Gong Fei Ji

Chapter 256

On the emperor's side, after Xue Bian left, he stayed in Liangyi Hall and copied a volume of "Ksitigarbha Sutra", and then he took up his pen.

He rolled up the copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and walked out. When he saw Eunuch Zhang coming in from outside, he handed him the scripture in his hand and said, "Take this scripture and burn it to the little princess." He muttered to himself: "Save her, I hope she will reincarnate smoothly, and don't be born into the emperor's family in the next life." After finishing speaking, he walked away again.

Eunuch Zhang took a look at the scriptures in his hand, thought for a while, and finally did not hand them over to the other servants, but just hugged and followed the emperor, and then said to the emperor: "My lord, the people from Ganquan Palace just came According to the legend, Concubine Xian wants to see you."

The emperor was stunned for a moment, stopped in his tracks, and then asked, "Did the noble concubine go to see the concubine Xian?"

Eunuch Zhang replied, "Yes."

The emperor didn't say anything more, thought for a while, and finally went in the direction of Ganquan Palace.

Eunuch Zhang handed the scriptures in his hand to the servant next to him, and said: "Look carefully, and burn it when I come back. If you lose it and break it, I will ask for you." After speaking, he quickly caught up with the emperor.

When the emperor went to Ganquan Palace, Concubine Xue Xian was sitting on the ground with her back leaning against a pillar in the palace, her hands hugging her knees, she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hearing the sound, she turned her head to look at the emperor, and didn't stand up to salute, but just looked at him like this.

The emperor winked at Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Zhang saluted, and then withdrew, closing the door by the way.

The emperor came over, looked at her and asked, "What do you want to tell me when you come here?"

Concubine Xue Xian said: "There is a saying, from the moment my concubine entered the palace, I have always wanted to ask the Holy Majesty, did the Holy Majesty feel guilty about my sister's death?"

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, never." He paused, and then continued: "This is a fair deal. I promise you the wealth of the Qi family and the position of your sister's queen, and the Xue family will fight for me. The Qi family, and in this transaction, it is your sister who broke her promise."

Concubine Xue Xian turned her head again, a tear suddenly flowed out of her eyes, across her face, and finally fell into the clothes on her chest.

She asked again: "How did my sister die?"

The emperor said: "Suicide."

Concubine Xue Xian asked, "Why did you commit suicide?"

The emperor glanced at her and said, "I thought you already knew."

Concubine Xue Xian said: "The concubine doesn't believe in concubines, the concubine wants to hear what the Holy Majesty has to say."

The emperor sighed and said, "Why bother?" I don't know if it meant why she asked again, or why she bothered to know the answer.

Concubine Xue Xian said: "Please tell my concubine, Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "After she married me, she became someone else's spy. In the end, in order to protect her master, or her lover, she committed suicide."

Concubine Xue Xian covered her face, finally burst into tears, and then asked: "Who is it, tell me who it is? After my sister's identity was exposed, did that person try to save her?"

The emperor said: "This last question, I think you should ask the prince of Shu." He paused for a while, and then continued: "I know that you are connected with the prince of Shu, he must be fake. Tell you a lot about your sister in the palace, it shouldn't be difficult for you to ask him."

Concubine Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, as if shocked, but also as if she couldn't believe it, and then she laughed as if laughing at herself, saying: "I see, I see." How stupid is she? How stupid would he be to get to where he is now, to recognize the wrong enemy, but still willingly listen to the instigation and use of the real enemy, even at the expense of his own son.
