Chapter 213: The punishment made(1/2)
In the dark cell, the light seemed particularly dim. In each cell, there was only a very small window, and you could see a small sky outside, and some light was revealed. It was lightened by the lines.
In the three cells next to each other, Sanshishi figures were almost in the same position, leaning against the wall under the window, looking up at the roof above his head, and everyone's face looked like a godless look.
After a moment, one of them turned his head and looked at the cell in the middle, with a strong look of hatred and even a murderous intent, as if he wanted to swallow the man alive.
The big hand on his knee tightened at once. Huangfu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Mo Yingyu with a sharp and fierce look. On his handsome but a little embarrassed face, there was a vicious look.
Suddenly, he rushed to the iron fence close to Mo Yingyu's cell, grabbed the fence with both hands, stared at Mo Yingyu with evil spirits, and roared: "You bitch! Why are you framed me!"
With a calm face on his face, Mo Yingyu turned his head slightly and looked at him, snorted coldly from his nose, and said indifferently: "Third Prince, what have you done yourself, you won't forget so quickly, right? Now I'm asking me."
"You bitch!" continued to curse, Huangfu Xi pointed at her, as if he wanted to capture her in front of him, "You dare to slander me! You have made it clear, when did I instruct you to seduce the boss? You are doing such a miserable thing and still frame me! You woman, you are so cruel!"
There was no change in emotions at all. Mo Yingyu sneered, looked at him with a little contempt, and said sarcastically: "Compared with the third prince, how can I be cruel? You are cruel, right? You actually use the emperor's weakness to frame the eldest prince! Fortunately, the eldest prince has always been so kind to you!"
When she said this, she glanced at the corner of her eyes. When Huangfu Yan in the other cell saw that Huangfu Yan's face became gloomy, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Huangfu Yan looked at the two of them with a slightly frown and looked solemnly, without saying a word, but he felt very uncomfortable.
This time, I am afraid that I will never have a chance to turn over. The mistake he made was a mistake that the emperor would never forgive.
Back then, the emperor suspected that Concubine Zhen had committed adultery. Although there was no evidence to prove that she had committed adultery, the emperor still neglected her for more than 20 years. Even the fourth brother was implicated and had been unpopular for more than 20 years.
Although no one mentioned the incident back then, everyone knew it well. But unexpectedly, he violated the emperor's taboo and committed adultery with his favorite concubine. This time, no matter whether he was framed or not, he could not escape his blame.
He didn't blame anyone, he was just blamed for being lustful and unable to control his heart, and gradually fell under the gentle attack of this woman.
However, after hearing what Mo Yingyu said, Huangfu Xi immediately became furious and pointed at Mo Yingyu's nose and cursed: "Do you dare to say he is good to me? Among the brothers, he is the worst to me! He has opposed me several times and has caused me to lose all my face. Do you dare to say he is good to me?"
With a cold snorting, Mo Yingyu curled the corners of her lips, smiling like a flower, but with an indescribable treacherous look: "Look, you are so dissatisfied with the eldest prince, that is why you instruct me to seduce him and frame him, right? Third prince, if a man dares to act, just admit it!"
"Bah!" Huangfu Xi was so angry that he was walking back and forth in the prison cell, almost going crazy. "You just wait, wait for your father to find out everything and give me a clean innocence!"
"Okay, let's wait for the emperor to find out the matter." Yanran smiled, Mo Yingyu met his angry gaze and said calmly.
Huangfu Yan, who was beside him, never spoke out, but just watched the two of them quarreled, but still charming, with a serious and serious expression on their faces.
Suddenly, at this moment, a loud and loud voice came from outside the cell: "The emperor is here!"
The three of them were stunned at the same time, each of them looked surprised and shocked, as if they did not expect the emperor to suddenly come to the prison cell. But immediately afterwards, the three of them felt a huge difference.
Huangfu Yan and Mo Yingyu, who were still sitting on the straw, also stood up quickly. The three of them turned their heads and looked at the entrance of the cell at the same time. A heart was beating more and more violently as the footsteps gradually approached.
When the bright yellow figure appeared, the three of them felt an invisible sense of oppression, which made them almost breathless.
Kneel down with a thud, and the three of them respectfully saluted: "My son (my concubine) bowed to my father (the emperor), long live my emperor."
The emperor walked to the cell, but did not make a sound to let them get up. Instead, he stared at the three of them with a serious expression, and his sharp eyes surrounded the three of them.
A young eunuch brought a chair. The eunuch general manager quickly helped the emperor sit down, looked at his weak and pale face worriedly, and sighed lightly indescribable.
After sitting down, the emperor cleared his throat and said, "When I was walking outside just now, I heard a clamor inside. What happened?"
When Huangfu Xi heard what he said, he hurriedly said, "Father, you want to make the decision for your son! Your son was wronged. Your son did not instruct Yupin to seduce his elder brother. Your son was framed!"
"Oh? Is that?" The eyes turned to him, and the emperor looked puzzled and asked, "Then I ask you, did you help a beaten woman in Yixiang Pavilion?"
He was a little stunned. Huangfu Xi didn't understand why he suddenly asked such a question. After thinking about it secretly, he nodded and said, "It's like this. At that time, Erchen planned to leave Yixiang Pavilion, but he saw several men who were beating a woman, so he stopped the man."
"Do you know who that woman is?"
Shaking her head, Huangfu Xi frowned and replied: "The woman was beaten very badly at that time, and she kept lowering her head. Erchen didn't see her appearance clearly, and he didn't know who she was."
"Third Prince, how can you talk nonsense?" As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Yingyu hurriedly said, "How could you say you don't know me? After you saved me from those men's men, you sent someone to Yixiang Pavilion to redeem me! Have you forgotten all these?"
"How is that possible?" Huangfu Xi looked at Mo Yingyu with surprise and said in disbelief, "That woman is you? You still want to frame me! When will I send someone to redeem you?"
"Third Prince, if you don't believe what I said, you should always believe your personal servant Axiang!"
"Axiang?" Huangfu Xi looked at Mo Yingyu and looked up at the emperor, but saw a thin figure and walked out from behind the crowd.
When he saw the man clearly, he became even more disbelief. He looked at the servant in shock and said in surprise: "Axiang? Why are you here?"
"Your Majesty, it was the emperor who summoned the slaves to the palace." Axiang looked up slightly at Huangfu Xi, then lowered his head and said in a low voice, "You ordered the slave to go to Yixiang Pavilion to redeem your concubine for Concubine Yu, and asked the slave to spread the message for you, tell Concubine Yu and let her complete your plan for you."
"Axiang!" With a angrily scolding, Huangfu Xiteng stood up and rushed to the prison door. He reached out and wanted to catch Axiang, but the distance was too far, and he couldn't reach it at all, "You traitor!"
"Prince, please spare me!" Axiang was startled, knelt on the ground with a thud, and said in a crying voice, "I don't want to tell you your plan, but I dare not hide anything in front of the emperor!"
Huangfu Xi was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he had to stare at Axiang fiercely, but his heart felt cold and despair. He never expected that even his personal servant would frame him and slander him like this.
Who was it, who not only framed him, but also framed the boss? Even Axiang, who was beside him, bribed it!
"Three, what else do you have to say?" The emperor said slowly at him coldly, but his tone was irresistible majesty and coldness.
My heart suddenly fell to the bottom of the valley. Huangfu Xi no longer looked furious, but suddenly became quiet, stretched out his hand to grab Axiang, and it also fell down weakly.
He pulled up the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly. He said in a daze: "Father, what else do you think the son minister can say? Don't you believe what they said? Why ask the son minister again?"
His words made the emperor stunned for a moment, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face. Clearing his throat, he said in a deep voice: "I am giving you a chance to defend, but you disappointed me too much! All the evidence and evidence point to you, what else do you have to say?"
"Since the father has determined that it was the son minister's actions, the son minister has nothing to say." Unexpectedly, Huangfu Xi did not make any excuses for himself, but said resolutely and indifferently.
There is no greater sorrow than death in his heart. Since there is no hope in his heart, why should he defend himself again? It will only make him look humble.
"The third brother!" After he said this, Huangfu Yan, who had not spoken out, suddenly said, "Is it really you? It's really you who designed to frame me?"
Turning his head to look at him, Huangfu Xi curled the corners of his lips and sneered, his eyes cold and without any warmth: "So what if it is me? I have always hated you and hate you. Don't you know? When you hit me in public, I lost all my face. Do you think I will forget it easily? Also, why should I be yours as the prince? Why should I be the chief?!"
He fell to the ground powerlessly. Huangfu Yan stared at him as if he didn't know him, and murmured: "That's why you framed me like this? But even if you framed me successfully, you still have a second child in front of you, so you can't be the prince!"
"The eldest prince seems to have forgotten it," Mo Yingyu sneered before Huangfu Xi spoke, "The third prince has already thought about it and asked me to confess the second prince and blame the second prince for everything. In this way, he can get rid of you and the second prince. Unfortunately, he made a mistake in his plan, how could the emperor be deceived by his plan?"
As she said that, she turned her head and looked at the emperor, her eyes circling, with indescribable charm.
Her scorching gaze made the emperor particularly unhappy. After a cold snort, he turned his head to the side, and naturally he did not see the trace of cunning flashing deep in Mo Yingyu's eyes.
"Yes. My plan is very clumsy, so my father can naturally see it at a glance. After all, your acting skills are better!" Huangfu Xi said with a squinted look at Mo Yingyu, almost gritting his teeth.
"Is the third prince complimenting me? If I hadn't had my good acting skills, how could the eldest prince behave obediently?"
"Pin Yu——" Huangfu Yan was a little angry, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he had to glar at her viciously.
"Have you all been quarreled enough?" The emperor leaned lazily on the chair. His brows frowned, his face was serious and gloomy. Looking at the three of them, he looked particularly sharp. "If you haven't quarreled enough, then continue. If you have quarreled enough, I'm going to talk."
He had already said this, who would dare to speak out again?
The three of them immediately calmed down, all lowered their heads and looked respectful, but the three of them had their own thoughts in their hearts.
He glanced at the three of them. When he looked at Huangfu Yan and Huangfu Xi, a trace of unbearableness flashed in the emperor's eyes, but when he thought of the things they did, he immediately put away the unbearableness.
"I don't want to continue pursuing this matter. Here, I just tell you first. I will issue an order to deal with you tomorrow morning! You will stay calm!"
After saying that, he stopped looking at them. He stood up, swayed his sleeves, and turned around and walked out of the cell.
"The emperor is here!"
"Give me a greeting to the emperor..."
The three of them bowed their heads to the ground, but they all felt a sense of sadness, which rose from the bottom of their hearts. It was a feeling of despair.
Outside the cell, as soon as he walked out of the cell, the emperor felt dizzy, heavy head and light feet, and a strange feeling in his throat.
With a sudden cough, he raised his hand to cover his mouth, but immediately felt a sticky feeling stuck to the palm of his hand.
He removed his palm, but he didn't let anyone see it, so he suddenly clenched into a fist, pretending that nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward.
But the eunuch who was following him still saw a sharp eye that the blood redness oozed out of his palm, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face, but the next second it turned into a strong worry.
After the hard work of the war a few days ago, the emperor's body had become weak. Now such a thing happened again. When the two princes and Yupin were so angry, the emperor's body was probably even worse. I don't know when he could last.
***
The next day.
In the majestic and magnificent Golden Palace, in the top position, the emperor glanced at the officials in the head with a serious look on his face, cleared his throat and said, "Do you have any suggestions for me?"
Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't dare to speak out, for fear that if they were not careful, they would make the emperor unhappy and implicate themselves.
On the night of the celebration banquet, the eldest prince and Yupin committed adultery. On the next day, everyone heard about it. After hearing about it, everyone was shocked to react. No one expected that the eldest prince, who has always been easy-going and gentle, would do such a miserable thing.
I guess this incident was particularly heavy on the emperor’s blow, right? Now I heard that it was the third prince who instructed Yupin to seduce the eldest prince behind the scenes. This is undoubtedly the best weapon to add fuel to the fire and make the emperor even more angry.
At this time, the emperor asked everyone what to do with the three of them. I believe the emperor had already made a decision in his mind. No matter what everyone said, the result would not change. But at this time, no one dared to stand up and speak.
"Are you all the beloved ministers saying nothing?" Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor said in a deep voice, with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
After another look at each other, everyone shook their heads helplessly.
But suddenly, a tall figure stood up, bowed to the emperor in the upper leadership, and said respectfully: "Father, my son, I think that although the eldest brother and the third brother did such a thing, I think that because they are both father and your son, I would like to ask my father to be gentle."
"From the light?" The emperor glanced at him in a cold snorted voice, saying unhappily, "Do you think what they have done can be frustrated? If I don't punish them for their death sentence, it is already a great gift to them!"
"Father..." Huangfu Xuan was anxious, looked up at the emperor, and hurriedly said, "Please think twice!"
"Okay, you need not say anything." After waving his hand, he interrupted his words, and the emperor said seriously, "I have decided to demote the eldest prince Huangfu Yan and the third prince Huangfu Xi to common people from now on, and be imprisoned/banned on Luoyan Island for life. No one is allowed to visit. Yupin did not obey his wife's words and gave him a white silk."
"The emperor is wise." The officials in the next round called out.
But everyone's tone was filled with a little helplessness and regret, and they felt sad for the two prisoners/banned...
As everyone lowered their heads together, Huangfu Yi couldn't help but frowned, and there was an indescribable complex feeling in his heart, but his eyes unconsciously moved to Huangfu Xuan on the side. Inadvertently, he saw a sneer on the corner of his lips.
A layer of sharpness suddenly appeared in the deep and narrow phoenix eyes, and his thin lips were slightly pursed. He could only feel anger and anger in his chest unconsciously. But reason told him that he must calm down at this moment.
To be continued...
