Chapter 990
Zhu Kongshan sued the Eighth Prince for his death, which surprised the court officials present and touched them very much. They knelt down one after another. No matter which party they belonged to, they stood on the side of justice in this atmosphere of death, and shouted in unison: "Please punish the Eighth Prince! Please punish the Eighth Prince!"
On the other side, Xuan Tianming and others also knelt down, saying the same lines as the court officials. Emperor Tianwu's hand holding the siege kept trembling, and a feeling of helplessness came in a hurry. Although he still had many doubts about the case, he also knew: Lao Ba deserved it!
So what if he was wronged this time? The first two times he had let him escape his serious crime. Facing these court officials, the people of the world, and his other sons, he must show an attitude today!
"Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo..." Finally, Tianwu spoke: "He harmed the people, violently, inhumane, and inhumane. He immediately went to the death penalty, and the imperial guards in the palace re-entered the ninth prince in charge, and the eighth prince... and the Ministry of Justice chose the day... to ask for the beheading!"
In one sentence, the final outcome of the Eighth Prince was determined. Someone asked again unwillingly: "Where is the nobleman Yuan?"
Tianwu waved his hand: "Subdued to Cai Nu, moved out of Cunshan Palace, and lived in Jingsi Palace."
Another one was sent to Jingsi Palace. Although he was not executed or sent to the cold palace, he was demoted to Cai Nu, which was no different from a palace maid. After all, he was just a concubine in the harem and could not make any mistakes after losing his son, and people had no doubt about the punishment.
Only Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua knew that Tianwu was not confused. He knew that this incident was framed, so he left a glimmer of hope for the woman. Xuan Tianming sighed in his heart, only saying that his father was indeed old. If it were twenty years ago, Yuan would definitely die. But now, Tianwu is full of self-knowingly irreparable debts to the concubines in the harem, so he is not as quick and neat as before.
After the court dispersed, Xuan Tianming led a brigade of imperial guards to surround Prince Sheng's mansion and arrest Xuan Tianmo.
The death row was in the palace, just under the back mountain, and it was a place that was so cold that it had to wear a cotton jacket even during the holidays. In the twelfth lunar month, water was dripping into ice inside, which was so cold that it invaded people's hearts and lungs.
Xuan Tianmo was sitting in the death cell, and the coldness on the ground made him feel numb from his waist. He was a little overwhelmed and didn't understand why he was thrown into the death cell in a confused manner? It is said that he had to ask about the killing? How could he be! How could he fall to this level now?
Not to mention that the Eighth Prince couldn't understand why things turned out like this, the nobleman Yuan, who was driven out of Cunshan Palace, couldn't understand why he suddenly overturned the ship. It was not until she heard that Zhu Kongshan sued the Eighth Prince several crimes and hit him to death in front of Emperor Tianwu that she suddenly realized that she and her son were smart for a lifetime, but in the end she fell into the hands of that girl.
She gritted her teeth! She originally wanted to help her son, but she didn't expect that she would send a wolf cub to her son, which made them end up now.
Jingsi Palace, how ironic! When Concubine Li was demoted to a noble person, she rushed to Jingsi Palace. Now she has surrendered more thoroughly, becoming a Cai Nu, and also entered the Jingsi Palace. Is this the Feng Shui wheel turning?
The maid Yuexiu moved into the side hall of Jingsi Palace with Liu Cainu. Without the noble position, even the title of Yuan was taken back. Now she can only be called the mother's surname. "Cainu, what is this!" She was so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth. "I don't believe it! I will never believe that Mo'er and I are finished like this!" Liu Cainu's eyes were blazing, "This matter must not be done like this. As long as Mo'er does not die for a day, I will definitely come up with a way to save him!"
Yuexiu didn't want to live such a miserable life. Now there is a Jingsi Palace. Once the eighth prince asks to behead him, I am afraid that his master will not even be able to protect his position as a woman. Although she does not expect her master to be able to sit in the position of the empress dowager one day, she does not hope to become a woman like this. If the master is not good, how good can I be?
Yuexiu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "It seems that the emperor's imperial edict did not say that he would not let his master come out of this Jingsi Palace. I think it is different from when Concubine Li was locked up here."
This sentence reminded Liu Cainu. Yes, compared to Concubine Li, she now has absolute freedom of movement. The emperor only said that she was transferred to the palace, but did not say that she was not allowed to walk in the palace. As long as she could still leave the gate of Jingsi Palace... She suddenly laughed, "It turns out that the road between Mo'er and I was not blocked. As long as the door was open, I would have the opportunity to turn the world around. Yuexiu, change my clothes and comb my hair, let's go to the queen's side to walk around."
The noble man was demoted to Cai Nu, but the emperor personally surrendered him. The news soon spread throughout the harem and into the queen's ears.
For the queen, the reverent Yuan decree was not relieved of her hatred. If she wanted to rely on her, the man would be better to throw him into the death row with the eighth prince and ask for the death to be executed. Or would he just give him a white silk or a bottle of poison and give him a death. Only when the reverent Yuan died could she no longer be threatened by that person and live a more stable life without having to worry all day long like now.
Fangyi advised her: "Empress, step by step, everyone has been demoted to the girl. Then, if you find a reason in the future, you can even make her die. In this harem, it is too easy to kill someone."
"Yes!" the queen sighed, "It's too easy to kill someone in this harem. But I never despise this method, and no one can threaten my position, so this kind of thing has been forgotten by me."
As the two were talking, a palace servant came to report to him: "Empress, Liu Cainu is looking for a meeting outside."
"Liu Cainu?" The queen was stunned and didn't react for a while. "Who is Liu Cainu?" How many years have people who have not had the position of Cainu come to Jingci Palace?
The palace servant replied: "It is the Yuan nobleman from the past, and he has just been demoted to Cai Nu today."
"It's her!" A moment of hostility appeared on the queen's face. This was something she had never seen in so many years. But it was only a moment, and she soon regained her expression. She nodded, "Let that Liu Cainu come in."
The palace maid went out to invite someone, Fang Yi whispered: "Why did the Empress see her? She is just a picking girl now. Even if she holds the handle in her hand, she will not dare to say it easily until she is burning her boat. And how can we let her really live to burn her boat? I have thought about this. If I don't dirty the Empress's hand, I will do it."
The queen frowned and did not answer the words directly, but said, "I just want to find out how much the woman knows and what kind of evidence she holds in her hand. If we just hearsay, we don't have to worry like this."
While talking, Liu Cainu took Yuexiu and walked in. She was demoted to Cainu and had to kneel down when she saw the queen again. She was very unhappy, but as long as the person was still in the palace, this rule would be indispensable.
But when they saw the two bow down, they said, "Empress Jin An."
The queen sat in the upper head, looking at the person kneeling below, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you think that with my ability, you can still get the Eighth Prince out of the dead cell? Or do you think that I can help you restore the position of noble people? Or is it the position of concubine?"
Liu Cainu looked up, with a faint smile on her face. She said, "No, I never thought that the Empress could have such great ability. If you really had it, the one who returned to the position of concubine would not be the Li Concubine."
"Then what are you doing?" the queen was angry, "Can you show off that you didn't die this time? I tell you that it was all done by you, both of you, both of you, and your own, whether you die or live, you will be done by yourself! In the hands of your niece, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
"Why are the Empress so excited?" Liu Cainu was still kneeling on the ground and raised her head to talk to the Empress. She said, "I am here today, but I don't have the intention to ask the Empress to do things. I am just thinking that such a big change has happened, I am not ashamed of myself." When she said this, her eyes flashed with a sharp light and said coldly: "Cheng, I am not happy, don't think about it! I am here today just to let you see my fate and let you think about it carefully. One day everything will be exposed, what will you end up with yourself?
.Don’t think that today is the queen, if you are the queen, I will always be the queen. Let me tell you, I have already arranged your affairs outside. Once something happens to me and the Eighth Prince, just watch it. Soon, the Queen’s true identity will be spread throughout every corner of Dashun. At that time, I will see what face you have in this position, what face you have to be in the world, and see if the emperor can tolerate someone who has been hiding by his side for so many years. I just want to see, by then, whether you are dead or alive, like me, or not as good as me."
Liu Cainu's heart trembled, but it could not cause a substantial blow to her. She even laughed and said, "What's there to be curious about this? I have thought about it sooner or later. Besides, Yuan Guiren, oh no, it should be Liu Cainu. Do you think the emperor is confused? I tell you that the emperor was shrewd in the past, but he is still shrewd in the present, and nothing can be hidden from him. My affairs cannot be hidden from you, and even more so. The mines in Yuzhou and the wars in the southern border, do you think the end of you this time is just because of Zhu Kongshan? Wait and see, it's not that you don't repay it. The time has not arrived, and when the time comes, everything will be rewarded. You are like this, and I am the same."
Liu Cainu stared at the queen, feeling that the queen was covered with a layer of death. She suddenly realized that the queen had no hope of life. What other sentences could really stimulate the other party?
The queen waved her hand, "You go back! It's useless to threaten me with that matter. The emperor has long known in his mind. The reason why he stayed in me until now is just to think that I am a bait. You are a pick girl, and I am a bait. Look, no one is better than anyone else!"
Liu Cainu walked out of the main hall of Jingci Palace amid the queen's laughter. The queen's words caused layers of turbulence in her heart. If the queen said it was true, then what was she doing all the time? The self-conceived threat was just a play of a clown. The emperor had known for a long time that she could not threaten anything. But if it could not threaten, then what should she and Mo'er do?
