656 Interrogation
When Emperor Jing Hong arrived, he saw Chu Junlan being chased by the sixth prince with a sword and dodged left and right. Concubine Shu also rushed to the guards with her accompanying palace maids. The scene was in chaos.
"What are you doing! I won't stop!" Emperor Jing Hong was furious and quickly stepped forward.
The guards who followed Emperor Jing Hong immediately turned into a wall of humans, separating Chu Junlan and the Sixth Prince.
Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince were so cruel that their eyes turned red. After a while, they found out that it was Emperor Jing Hong who was here.
Emperor Jing Hong stood with his hands behind his back, his face dark and calm: "Lao Liu, why don't you put down your weapons? Do you still want to kill the lord?"
The sixth prince's eyes were abnormally red, his smile was twisted and excited, and a small piece of white mist was already gasping in front of him when he was breathing violently.
When he heard Emperor Jing Hong's words, he seemed to have a slow reaction of half a beat. He threw the sword on the ground with a "clang" and said in a tight voice: "I don't have this intention. I want to settle the score with this bitch!"
"If you are guilty or not, there will naturally be national laws to deal with it. Who will allow you to come here? As a prince, you are holding a knife and killing people in the palace. Can you still have my father in your eyes?" Emperor Jing Hong's voice was stern.
The sixth prince pursed his lips and knelt down and bowed: "My son dare not."
Emperor Jing Hong looked at Concubine Shu, who was crying and cried, and browsed with disgust: "Where are you? Lao Liu is young and ignorant. As a concubine, you brought Lao Liu here to do whatever you want. Do you still remember the royal rules and etiquette?"
"Emperor," Concubine Shu cried, tilted her body and fell to the ground, covering her face and cried, "My father died unjustly, my mother's family died unjustly! They are all this bitch. If it weren't for her business, how could that lunatic Xiao Xu kill people? They are all her! Your Majesty, you will immediately punish this bitch!"
Emperor Jing Hong frowned, but did not answer Concubine Shu, and just said, "You all go back with me."
Without even looking at Chu Junlan, he turned around and went out.
The guards were on guard and stared at Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, for fear that they would do something unexpected.
The Sixth Prince and Concubine Shu also knew that nothing could be done at the moment. Seeing the emperor's back gradually fading away, they had to follow him with regret.
Chu Junlan covered his injured arm and looked at the backs of Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince and his son with a cold face. As soon as they looked back, they looked back.
The three of them looked at each other, and they all had hatred that caused each other to die.
The guards of Zhongcui Palace retreated.
The palace maids and eunuchs who were responsible for taking care of Chu Junlan were busy, cleaning the mess all over the floor, burning hot water, and looking for the imperial physician.
After returning to the room, Haitang immediately stuffed the warm hand stove into Chu Junlan's arms, put on her thick cotton jacket, let her sit on the couch, and then went to find a clean veil and bandaged her briefly.
But Chu Junlan was stunned and dazed.
If she had doubts about Concubine Shu's words at the beginning, then after the Sixth Prince and Emperor Jing Hong came one after another, the last doubt would be dispelled.
So, did Xiao Xu really slaughter the Cai family?
Chu Junlan knew Xiao Xu, and if she stood from Xiao Xu's perspective, she would have guessed what he thought.
He blamed himself for not being able to protect his wife. After the incident, Prince Gong's house's reaction can be imagined. For Xiao Xu, his family did not provide any help when he needed it most, and was even very likely to take the blame.
He begged the emperor with hope, but he knelt for five days without eating or drinking in the snow and ice, and the emperor refused to give him a chance to speak.
The most important thing is that her death penalty was because the emperor covered the sixth prince and protected the Cai family and was holding her for nothing. It was his biological father who wronged his wife for a large amount of wealth to protect other sons.
He must have been heartbroken.
If you cannot kill the regret, you can only ask others to let out this breath, and the culprits are all in the Sixth Prince and the Cai family.
When Xiao Xu made up his mind, he was probably ready to die together.
Chu Junlan sat blankly, his eyes were red, but he never let himself cry.
The more this happens, the more she needs to be calm. If she only cares about letting herself go and immerses herself in sadness and anxiety, she will be unable to think about anything.
A Princess Cai had already taken her life.
Xiao Xu probably also wanted to question the emperor. He has now blatantly killed so many people in the Cai family and he is also the emperor's son. What should the emperor do?
Chu Junlan's heart was irritated. Xiao Xu's situation really made her feel sad.
This idiot has been pretending to be stupid and endured for so many years, and has survived that kind of life. Why are he so impulsive now? Do you want everything he has worked hard to manage?
An imperial doctor came to the Imperial Hospital to check Chu Junlan's injuries. Seeing that the wound was not deep, he bandaged her and left.
At this time, Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince had already changed into clothes and returned to Emperor Jing Hong.
"Emperor," Concubine Shu knelt down with a pounce, kowtowed, "Please be the master of the Cai family. Scum like Xiao Xu must be killed soon!"
"Yes, Father, Xiao Xu is so despising the king's law, he is clearly provoking you, Father!" The sixth prince also knelt down and said loudly.
Emperor Jing Hong sat upright behind the desk, but his face was extremely heavy. After hearing the words of Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince, he still didn't say a word. They just let them kneel down.
Seeing that the emperor did not express his opinion, Concubine Shu kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, for this matter, the old patriarch has fallen ill. I wonder if he can... Mrs. Hanmei has gone to the old patriarch to serve the disease. If she doesn't give an explanation, even Mrs. Hanmei will not give up."
"Father, Mother is right. Xiao Xu's cruelty was simply sensational and shocked the government and the people! If the father did not punish such evil deeds severely, wouldn't everyone be in danger in the future?'
"Whoever is guilty of being punished can rush into someone's house and kill people. Is there no king's law in the world? The emperor can't block his mouth!" Concubine Shu also said.
Emperor Jing Hong was silent, allowing the Sixth Prince and Concubine Shu to finish their words before slowly raising their heads.
"Is it Xiao Xu the only one who is wrong in this matter?"
After being looked at by Emperor Jing Hong, Concubine Shu and the Sixth Prince's faces were a little stiff.
Emperor Jing Hong stood up, walked step by step to the sixth prince, lowered his eyes to the kneeling person: "Xiao Lu, do you really think I don't know how Cai Yingqiu died?"
The sixth prince's pupils suddenly shrank, "Father, what do you mean?"
"Don't you understand?" Emperor Jing Hong walked to Concubine Shu again and looked down at her, "He doesn't understand, what about you?"
