The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 197 Death

This accident completely broke the tranquility on the surface of the inner palace.

The eighth princess, Qingyuan, had fainted from pain since her accident. After being revived by the imperial doctor, who treated her wounds, she started talking nonsense like crazy and struggled wildly with her hands and feet. The wound that had stopped bleeding started again.

She was torn open, and in desperation, the imperial doctor had to forcefully give her a soothing potion.

In the afternoon, her daughter was still talking to her about getting married. In the blink of an eye, she was now like this. Concubine Meng was crying so hard that her heart was broken.

In the main hall, the accompanying female officers, maids, and eunuchs knelt on the ground, all of them trembling with fear.

Emperor Ming was furious after hearing the story of the accident from the chief female officer. He pointed at everyone and scolded: "Are you all useless? A group of people were protecting the princess, but they let a bird hurt her like this."

Emperor Ming coldly waved his dragon sleeves and said angrily: "What use are you keeping with such trash? Come on, pull them all down and behead them!"

"It's unfair, it's unfair. Your Majesty has mercy, Your Majesty has mercy."

Inside the main hall, everything was miserable and miserable.

Concubine Meng came out of the inner palace and vented all her raging anger on the palace people.

Her eyes revealed a cold light, her silver teeth clenched, and she sternly said to the group of maids serving her daughter: "You fools, if you can't take good care of the princess, how can you still live with dignity? If I don't punish you, it's really hard to understand what is in my heart."

hatred."

As she said that, she cried again and fell into Emperor Ming's arms: "Your Majesty, our daughter is only sixteen. She is injured like this before she is married. How can this concubine really live?"

Emperor Ming was also heartbroken. He pointed at the trembling palace servants and ordered Li Dequan, the leader of the inner palace outside, "According to what the noble concubine said, I will execute them all in Lingchi. Those who have family members will also be executed sitting down."

The most beloved princess of the Holy Emperor was injured, and another bloody storm was inevitable in the palace.

Li Dequan glanced at the group of palace attendants who were scared to death, sighed slightly, and was about to go out to call for someone.

At this moment, the ninth princess Qingluan entered the inner hall. She bowed and kowtowed to Emperor Ming and said: "Father, my son was also present when the eighth sister had an accident today. Although the eighth sister was injured by an eagle, this is not the case.

It was a natural disaster, but someone deliberately condoned it."

Before Emperor Ming could say anything, Concubine Meng, who was crying hard, asked anxiously: "Who wants to harm my daughter?"

His beloved daughter was injured like this. Emperor Ming only tortured the serving palace servants and did not have time to investigate the others in detail.

Emperor Ming heard Qingluan's words. He suppressed his anger and asked doubtfully: "What do you think of this? Please tell me in detail."

Qingluan raised his head and replied to Emperor Ming: "According to my son, I know that the falcon is raised by Shen, the wife of the eldest son of the Li family. Today, the eighth sister and the cousin of the Li family originally had a quarrel over a trivial matter, but that Shen

But she favored the cousin of the Li family and spoke rudely to the eighth sister. The eighth sister was so angry that she stepped forward and pushed her, and then Mrs. Shen jumped in and hurt the eighth sister."

After listening to Qingluan's words, Emperor Ming slammed his palm on the table and said angrily: "What a Mr. Shen, you are so bold."

Although Emperor Ming had a lot of shortcomings, he was not a mediocre person. After venting his anger, he interrogated the people accompanying him: "You were also on the spot, and there is such a thing. Why didn't you mention it when I just interrogated you?"

Did anyone mention it to me?"

Everyone complained one after another, and the leading female official said in horror: "It is indeed as the Ninth Princess said, when the Eighth Princess was arguing with Shen, the falcon rushed down suddenly, and before the slaves could recover, the beast was injured.

Princess. It’s just that all the noble families bring falcons with them for winter hunting, and the servants really don’t know that the falcons are raised by the Shen family.”

Qingluan said quickly: "Father, just one day before the eighth sister's accident, I just went to the Zhenguo government camp to play with my cousin of the Li family. I saw Mrs. Shen feeding the falcon with my own eyes. I saw that the falcon was strange.

She also asked her where it came from, and Shen even told Erchen that it was a gift from her natal family in Chaozhou."

The palace servants thought they would die because of their poor care of the princess. Unexpectedly, the ninth princess actually brought an opportunity to divert trouble to the east. The female official quickly added: "That falcon is covered in red gold. As far as my servant knows, there are only falcons like this in the mountains."

The country has talent, and Chaozhou is not far from Gaoshan Country. It can be seen that everything the Ninth Princess said is true."

Concubine Meng Guifei has been immersed in grief since her daughter's accident. Now after listening to Qingluan's words, she has come to terms with it.

Qingyuan told her in her tent today about the relationship between the third girl from Zhenguo Gongfu and the prince Zhongshun Hou. It can be seen that after coming out of the tent, she went to find the third girl from the Li family. The two must have argued over this.

When she got up, Mrs. Shen helped her own girl, the eighth princess who had been injured by Zong Ying.

Concubine Meng angrily said to Emperor Ming: "Then the Li family girl and the Shen family teamed up to harm our daughter. They really deserve death."

Qingluan knew that she had the support of her aunt, and that no matter how angry her father was, he would not do anything to her. Besides, although she did not like the third girl, she had no enmity with her and could not harm her. Qingluan was very angry in his heart.

In this way, the Shen family will be eradicated.

When she saw Emperor Ming mentioning the Zhenguo Palace, she became scrupulous, and fanned the flames: "Father, the Zhenguo Palace is my mother's family. What reason do I have to frame the Shen family? I just saw that the Eighth Sister was really attracted by them."

I was so hurt that I came to express my love to my father."

As he said this, Qingluan started to cry.

Qingluan was often bullied by this eighth sister, and he hated her in his heart. Today, when he saw her eyes being pecked out by the falcon, Qingluan was so happy that he wanted to beat gongs and drums to celebrate.

It is true that she hates the Eighth Princess, but she hates Jingshu even more.

Naturally, Qingluan would not miss this rare opportunity that could put her to death.

If the father wanted to execute Shen in anger, it would be better. If he refused to kill her for the sake of the Zhenguo Palace, he would at least order the Zhenguo Palace to abandon her. Then, she would find a chance to beg her father.

The emperor lowered her to his cousin.

Wouldn't it mean that her lifelong wish was fulfilled?

What Qingluan is best at is crying. Even though her heart is full of joy and anticipation, because she cries a lot on weekdays, even if she is just pretending, the tears just come.

"Father, Mrs. Shen is really too vicious. She hurt my eighth sister like this. Yesterday, the eighth sister told me that after the Chinese New Year, she would take me to play in the palace you sent her to. In the blink of an eye,

She was harmed like this. She is a strong person, but now she has been blinded in one eye. How can she bear it?"

Qingluan cried miserably: "My son and my eighth sister grew up together, and our love is as deep as the sea. If there is anything wrong with her, then I don't want to live anymore."

It really sounds like the deep love between sisters.

Emperor Ming really couldn't bear to offend his niece, but he had no scruples about Jingshu, who had no blood relationship and was of low birth.

It's just a woman. After dealing with it, just give Li Ling a marriage.

Emperor Ming said angrily: "I can't believe that the Shen family from a small family can be so unruly!"

When Qingluan heard this, he immediately stopped crying and said to Emperor Ming: "Father, you have to make the decision for the eighth sister. If you don't let the Shen family die, you can relieve the hatred in your heart."

Emperor Ming became angry and shouted outside the palace: "Here comes someone!"

Li Dequan, who had been waiting outside, entered cautiously, bowed and said, "What are your orders from the Lord?"

Emperor Ming replied coldly: "I went to order the Ministry of Rites to draw up a decree. The wife of the Crown Prince of Zhenguo, Shen, despised the royal family, injured the princess with an eagle, deprived her of the imperial title, and gave her poisonous wine."
