After the second prince was settled to bed, the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao were about to go to bed. Xie Ning had just woken up and had just eaten his stomach. Now he was only suitable to walk around. If he had to go to bed and sleep, he would be afraid that he would accumulate food.

The emperor pulled up her sleeve and saw that a piece of her elbow was also bruised.

"How did this happen?" Just now when Xie Ning was having a meal, he slid down his sleeve and glanced at him. He felt something was different at that time, but now he was really injured.

Xie Ning pulled off his sleeve a little: "I don't remember it. It was messy at that time and didn't feel it hurt."

The emperor gently pressed the piece: "Does it hurt now?"

"It hurts a little, it's okay if you don't touch it." Xie Ning asked seriously: "The emperor is not injured, right? What's going on with that glass of wine? I can't see it through the screen, and my heart is so scared that I'm about to jump out."

"I really drank the wine, but the wine had been replaced long ago." The emperor said: "What was presented was just a glass of ordinary water wine. Mingshou didn't know how to control it. He was arrogant. Even her confidant might not be really used by her. He just couldn't get off the boat and had to follow the road to the dark."

So the emperor gave some chance, and those people tried their best to seize it. If it were just one person's life, it would be fine, and it might not be worth fighting like this. But treason is a top-notch crime in criminal law. If the relatives are punished, they will not be forgiven. Even if these people are not afraid of death, they must consider their relatives.

For Princess Mingshou's ambition alone, it has been implicated and has harmed so many people. Even if the emperor wants to cure the death penalty for life and death, Xie Ning feels it is natural.

Xie Ning was very curious. Anyway, the situation was clear now, so there was no need to hide it anymore, so Xie Ning simply asked directly: "I wonder how long Princess Mingshou has been planning for this matter?"

Her curiosity understood and took her slowly, "If it was planning a rebellion, it was after the death of the empress dowager. But she had this heart since she was a child."

"I've been there since I was a kid?" Xie Ning was even more curious.

"When I was just seven or eight years old, there was a time when the empress dowager's brother was on her birthday. I went to celebrate my birthday with Mingshou. When I arrived at the uncle's mansion, Mingshou secretly changed into men's clothes and sneaked onto the street. At that time, the uncle's mansion was in chaos, and finally found the person back without hiding the news. The uncle said that her family should not be so rash. She said that she would not accept this. What's wrong with the girl? Why did she have to obey so many rules because she was a girl's family and could not do anything in the house every day? Why didn't she have the possibility of inheriting the throne? Is there any law in the world that women cannot be emperor?"

Xie Ning was shocked by this statement.

This is why Princess Mingshou dares to think and say this, and it is impossible for anyone else to change to it.

"Did she be there at that time?"

"When the late emperor was still alive, the empress dowager and Mingshou were still worried. After the late emperor passed away, the empress dowager had been holding back for many years and suddenly came out. She changed all the hundreds of women in the palace who had favored him. Some said they were sacrificed, while others were sent to the temple. In fact, those women were not willing to be buried with them, and they were strangled to death by the empress dowager. Those who were sent to the temple did not even take away their clothes, and they were tied up with one hand without covering their clothes, and they were driven out like animals..."

Xie Ning didn't know about these things. She grabbed the emperor's sleeves tightly and her chest was as cold as if it was filled with ice water.

"I saw Mingshou someone who had collected the jewelry accumulated by those women, and took it to pick it up and play with it. One of the fine teeth discs and the golden arm rings had blood stains that had not been wiped clean."

"When the Empress Dowager was still alive, Mingshou did everything he could do and wanted to do. I had not yet established a firm foothold at that time, and I could only take a lot of effort to restrain her. In those two years, everyone thought that I was a coward. Mingshou could not resist Zhang Qiheng's intentions at that time, but in other things, he could be said to be able to do everything he could to call the wind and rain, and of course he had no intention of rebellion. She had what the emperor had, and she had what the emperor did not have, so the emperor would not have much meaning."

"After the empress dowager is gone, I naturally cannot tolerate her doing whatever she has done before. Her life is getting worse and worse, and she wants to overthrow me and seize power. In fact, I also agree with what she said. If someone can occupy the position of the emperor, she always feels that she is at a disadvantage because of her status as a woman, otherwise there will be nothing I have to do with the throne."

It is a good thing to have a capable person to live in. Although it is a bit ruthless, Xie Ning has read history books and knows what happens every time the dynasty changes. The problem is that Princess Mingshou doesn’t have the ability to do it. Just look at the scene she made today. Is this the result of planning for several years?

However, the emperor has been planning for today for a long time. The two of them have too many wise minds and minds, and Mingshou's defeat is not unfair at all.

Tonight, the Golden Wind Garden was loose outside and tight inside. Princess Mingshou fell, and all the involved people were rushed to investigate and interrogate. The emperor must have made arrangements to have such time to gossip with her here.

Bai Hongqi stepped forward gently and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the commander often comes to report. Princess Mingshou said that there is something important to discuss with the emperor."

Xie Ning consciously wanted to get up and avoid it. The emperor grabbed her hand: "No need to avoid it, what important things can she have to discuss with me?"

He was very despised at Princess Mingshou in his words.

"Okay, I can't sleep now, so let's go and see her."

Xie Ning was surprised: "She is in the garden?"

"That's right, it's not far away." The emperor stood up and Xie Ning asked quickly: "Are you going with me?"

"If you are tired, take a rest. If you are not tired, just go over and take a look with me."

Xie Ning understood the meaning of the emperor's words.

She had a natural rejection of this kind of thing, but since she had become a person in the palace, she could not be outside the house anymore, and she could not blind her eyes and pretend to see nothing.

"Then I will go with the emperor."

It was already this time, and the emperor pulled her into the sedan chair. Xie Ning thought about it, it was quite dark, and he would not have to stare at her such a small mistake and ride with the emperor.

Speaking of which, she has been here for a while, but she has been so busy that she can't get out of her body. Apart from going out to visit the lake once, she has never visited Qingbi Hall. She has not even visited Lan Huixuan, where Princess Mingwei lives. At this time, the sedan chair left Qingbi Hall and walked northeast. The northeast corner of the garden is low-lying and the moisture is heavier than other places. There is only one pavilion called Fenglisong. You can tell what the situation is like when you hear this name.

The pine waves are bursting, and it will definitely be very refreshing and pleasant if it comes over during the day. However, when the pine forests come over in the middle of the night, the moonlight is densely covered. Walking in such an unpredictable darkness, people feel a burst of cold in the summer.

The emperor said that the place was not far, but it was not far. After turning two turns, the sedan chair stopped. The emperor got off the sedan chair first and reached out to help her. Xie Ning was not wearing a dragging long skirt, and he tied a light, narrow-width plain satin cloak that could suppress the wind.

In front of me, it is not the prison that Xie Ning thought, but an ordinary yard. The layout does not look like a place where people live, but rather a place like a warehouse or a warehouse.

"This is the timber warehouse behind Feng Jisong."

It's indeed a warehouse.

Most of the wood to be stored is large, and this warehouse is much taller than ordinary warehouses and is wider. It is even darker and hard to see more things, so Xie Ning walked into the door with the emperor.

The wood warehouse is naturally a smell of wood, and the painted oil on the wood is also choking when the fire-proof things in the warehouse are mixed together.

Xie Ning followed the emperor and walked forward. There was a row of low houses behind the warehouse, which should be the place where the guards and workers lived.

The guard next to him stepped forward and opened the door. The emperor stepped in, and Xie Ning followed him in.

The room was really not big, with a main room with a side room on the left and right. Princess Mingshou stayed in the side room on the right, with iron shackles on her hands and feet connected to the wall. She could move in this half of the room, but it was impossible to take another step.

If it weren't for knowing her identity, Xie Ning wouldn't really be able to recognize her.

Princess Mingshou had only seen it for two or three times, but she had never said anything. Now the powder on the person's face in the room has been washed away, her face is a little swollen and deformed, and half of her hair was cut off by some unknown reason, and the rest was half loose and half bundled. She put on a piece of clothes that didn't fit very well. I looked carefully at what the eunuch should have looked like.

Xie Ning guessed that when Princess Mingshou was caught, her clothes were torn, and it was not easy for her to find a replacement clothes after she brought them here. It was not easy for her to wear clothes of average size. The eunuch's clothes were always wider than those of the palace maids, so she could settle for the time being.

When she saw the emperor coming in, she raised her head, and when she saw Xie Ning following behind, Princess Mingshou's eyes, which were already squeezed into a slit, narrowed a little.

"Why did you bring her here?"

After all this, he spoke in a arrogant tone. Xie Ning couldn't help but cure her. The emperor sat down on the wooden chair against the north wall and signaled Xie Ning to sit down.

Princess Mingshou swallowed this breath. She also knew that this Concubine Xie was the emperor's favorite in the past two years. It is said that her color is good, and she has a method of charm that others can't learn. She tightly clamped the emperor tightly, and she looked at the pink and cream of the six palaces and lost her color.

Since the emperor is not afraid of such a secret matter being known, what else should Mingshou worry about?

Maybe the Emperor thought about it later and felt that one person knew about this kind of handle, so he would have a sting in his heart when Xie Jieyu was killed.

"Then let's not tell secret words. I'm not as good as you, and I'm at this point. But I also know many things that the emperor doesn't know. If the emperor is willing to accept my three conditions, I will tell them all. What does the emperor think?" Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotian.net
