Chapter 119 Her surname is the biggest sin
The little girl went to the Queen to sulk, with her little butt sticking out towards the Emperor, but her heart was still chattering.
The more she listened, the more Concubine Xian lowered her head.
She knew that her father was on a path of no return, but she never expected that her father would collude with the enemy country.
I’m afraid the lives of hundreds of people in the Jian family are in danger.
Even this letter was found accidentally after she heard the little princess's thoughts and secretly paid attention to the Jane family.
This was the token of allegiance she prepared for her children.
"Your Majesty, the Jian family deserves death, and I have no way to refute it."
"I am willing to sacrifice my life to atone for my sins, but my two children are innocent."
"They know nothing. I hope Your Majesty will spare them for the sake of Shushen and Lu Li's blood relationship with you."
Even though she was prepared, when the emperor really started to investigate Marquis Wencheng, Concubine Xian was still afraid.
She had lived in a daze for so many years, and all she knew was to compete for favor with the queen in the harem, and was used as a gun by others.
The number of evil things that the people of the Jian family did in her name was too numerous to count.
Even if she had not participated, she was not innocent.
Concubine Xian understood the principle that when one prospers, all prosper, and when one suffers, all suffer.
Her surname is her biggest sin.
She did not ask for the emperor's forgiveness, but only hoped that her children would be spared from disaster.
"Your Majesty, please."
Concubine Xian raised her head, and her majestic face was already covered with tears.
This was the first time that Concubine Xian had to beg someone in a humble manner since she entered the palace.
Looking at Concubine Xian's appearance, it was difficult to tell any emotion on the emperor's face, which made Concubine Xian even more confused.
"Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted."
"I am sorry for everything. I always make you upset. I know I am wrong."
"Please, help me."
Concubine Xian also knew that the only one who could impress the emperor now was the empress.
"Noble Consort Xian, this matter is complicated. As women, we shouldn't interfere."
"The Emperor knows the personalities of Xiaoer and Xiaoliu, and will deal with them as appropriate."
The Queen's words seemed neutral, but in fact they gave Concubine Xian a reminder.
[In fact, Father had no intention of doing anything to the Imperial Sister and Little Six.]
[With Xiao Liuzi's silly look, without his status as a prince, if he were to be released to the common people, he would probably be eaten to pieces. ]
[If you want Xiaoliu to completely clear himself of suspicion, when Marquis Wencheng carries out the execution, let Xiaoliu be the one to supervise the execution.]
Marquis Wencheng is doomed.
Ji Luli has the blood of Marquis Wencheng, and his identity will definitely make him embarrassed in the palace in the future.
Going to supervise the execution can sever the last connection with the Jian family.
Even if he would never have the chance to be emperor again, no one could use the Jian family to attack Xiaoliu.
The little princess' words made Concubine Xian look at the emperor expectantly.
The emperor's calm eyes fell on Concubine Xian, and his gaze was indeed much softer.
"I have my own justice in this matter, go back."
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace without my permission. If you dare to disobey me again, I will kill you."
These words were undoubtedly telling Concubine Xian that if she behaved herself in the future, she could still survive.
Although Marquis Wencheng was guilty of a serious crime, Concubine Xian was innocent.
When the dust settles, the status of imperial concubine will no longer exist, but she will still be alive.
This was the greatest kindness the emperor could show to Concubine Xian.
"Yes, I will obey your command."
Concubine Xian cried, smiled, and kowtowed to express her gratitude. With the help of palace servants, she left Qifeng Palace feeling weak all over.
The night was deep and the dew was heavy. The candles in the music hall were extinguished and darkness enveloped everything.
At the door of a room, a person staggered in and then opened the door of a dark room.
The smell of tung oil was pungent, so he splashed it inside.
The tinder fell from his palm, and the moment the fire was lit, he was ready to evacuate.
But when he went out, he found the yard full of Jinyiwei.
The leader, Cao You, looked at him with a smile. In the boxes beside Cao You were the evidence that the other party wanted to destroy.
Cao You had already transferred the evidence out.
Seeing the other party's stunned expression, Cao You ordered the man to be arrested, and the prince came out from the darkness.
This case was handed over to the Crown Prince and Liu Heng for supervision.
The urgent report reached the palace directly.
That night, many ministers got up from their comfortable lives, put on their court robes and rushed to the palace.
The lights were on in the imperial study, and the ministers were passing the evidence around to each other.
In an environment so quiet that you can hear a pin, the yawns are particularly conspicuous.
Ji Qionghua was lying in the rocking crib, feeling very depressed.
It would have been fine if his father had just crawled out of bed, but why did he have to pull himself out as well?
So infuriating.
"Come here, bring the guilty minister Jian Shi to me!"
With the evidence before him, the emperor became furious.
This Marquis Wencheng was truly a man of many evil deeds, from treason to oppression of the people and plundering their wealth.
These evidences opened the emperor's eyes.
No one dared to offend the emperor at such a time, and Marquis Wencheng was quickly brought over.
Today, Marquis Wencheng has been stripped of his title, and all the hundreds of people in the Jian family have been locked up in jail.
Marquis Wencheng, who was so energetic a few days ago, now looks old and frail.
He was kneeling on the ground, his gray hair scattered and his eyelids drooping, making his eyes look like cold inverted triangles.
"Jane, do you have anything to say?"
The emperor threw the evidence at Jian Shi and yelled.
"I pride myself on treating you well."
"When did you develop these wolfish ambitions, huh?"
The emperor is really angry.
During the time when the late emperor was seriously ill, Marquis Wencheng devoted all his energy to the country and the people, which made him bewitched by the other party for a time.
Because of this, when he later inherited the throne and selected a concubine, Concubine Xian was ranked second only to the Empress when she first entered the palace.
However, after he began to handle government affairs, he realized how long Wenchenghou's hands extended.
If there were no important ministers such as Duke Anguo and the Left Prime Minister in the court, he might have to change his name and surname.
He tolerated it for so many years and gave Wencheng Hou many opportunities.
But the other party keeps making the same mistake.
As an emperor, he would never allow such pests to continue to harm the country.
On the dragon robe, the five-clawed golden dragon swam as the emperor walked, looking lifelike.
Jian Shi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at the golden dragon with a look of desire: "What crime have I committed?"
"Didn't the Ji family also obtain the throne in this way? I am just imitating the Zudi."
Jian Shi spoke with confidence.
"I was just one step behind."
He thought for a long time in the cell, but still couldn't figure out how he was discovered.
Over the years, he has been restraining his forces and waiting for the final blow.
In the end, all efforts were in vain.
"What nonsense!"
"The previous emperor was a tyrant. Under his rule, the people lived in misery. The first emperor overthrew the previous dynasty's rule to restore peace to the people of the world."
"How dare you, a traitor, be compared with the Ancestral Emperor!"
The emperor took a few quick steps and kicked Jian Shi to the ground with such force that Jian Shi groaned and even vomited blood.
But he smiled instead.
"It's just that the winners take all, and history is written by the victors."
"Your Ji family wasn't so innocent back then."
Jian Shi gritted his teeth and his face turned pale.
He was already very old, and although no one in the prison used severe torture on him, those people guarded him day and night, not allowing him to have a single drop of water, and not allowing him to have a moment's rest.
He was already exhausted.
