Chapter 744 Give Concubine Xian a Cup of Poison Bar
A palace concubine whispered: "If something goes wrong, there must be a monster! It's an ominous sign!"
This sentence pierced the heart of Emperor Dongming. Because of the vision of the Tengu eating the moon, the warning from the blood book in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and the blooming peonies in the twelfth lunar month, Emperor Dongming seemed to have believed that Concubine Xian was out to bring disaster to the country.
Emperor Dongming snorted coldly and walked away.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Concubine Xian's face turned pale. She chased after her for two steps and fell to the ground.
The concubines also looked at each other with different expressions.
Emperor Dongming held Eunuch Zheng's hand on the sedan chair and said calmly: "Give Concubine Xian a cup of poison. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, do it immediately."
His eyes were cold, and everyone who threatened his country should die.
"Yes!" Eunuch Zheng bent over, his expression inconspicuous.
Emperor Dongming sighed, "Don't worry about your work. Go ahead."
When Emperor Dongming got on the sedan chair to be driven out, Eunuch Zheng took a few young eunuchs and quickly went to run errands.
Concubine Xian looked at the wine glass in front of her and already guessed what was in it.
Concubine Xian reached out and overturned the wine glass: "No, the emperor will not do this to me!"
A young eunuch had already slipped out and quickly went to the prince's office to find the seventh prince.
Eunuch Zheng said in a difficult tone: "My dear concubine, this is the emperor's order. Please don't embarrass our family."
Concubine Xian shook her head in disbelief, with tears streaming down her face, "No, the Emperor won't. I want to see the Emperor, I want to see the Emperor! Why is this, why!"
Eunuch Zheng's face was solemn, "The Emperor said that God has warned you that the Concubine Xian is a demon concubine who will cause harm to the country."
As someone who has served the emperor for thirty years, he naturally knows the emperor best. When the emperor came back from the Ancestral Temple, he had been weighing and hesitating whether to kill the concubine Xian.
If Concubine Xian saw the peonies in bloom and destroyed them secretly instead of making a fuss about it, Concubine Xian might have escaped disaster this time. However, she still pushed herself to hell.
This is the fatal disaster caused by greed and insufficient greed.
"God warned me that the evil concubine will harm the country?" Concubine Xian laughed loudly, "That's nonsense!"
"Concubine Xian, be careful, don't bring harm to the Seventh Prince, please follow the order and go on your way!" Eunuch Zheng's face darkened, and he motioned to the young eunuch to pour Concubine Xian another glass of poisonous wine.
He has done this kind of execution a lot, and it often happens that prisoners are unwilling to die and knock over the wine glass, so he prepared a pot.
Thinking of the Seventh Prince, Concubine Xian looked filled with sadness and despair, "Without me, how will my prince survive in this dirty place where people eat people!"
Suddenly, she looked stern and shouted angrily: "I am not guilty. Someone is framing me. I don't know how to drink poisonous wine. I want to see the emperor!"
"In this case, please don't blame our family for being rude." Eunuch Zheng glanced at the young eunuch behind him and said, "Serve the Concubine Xian for a drink."
Concubine Xian was so frightened that she backed away, "You old eunuch, how dare you!"
Two young eunuchs rushed over to restrain Concubine Xian and pinned Concubine Xian to the ground, while the other eunuch held a glass of wine and tried to drink it down for Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian couldn't stop struggling, and kicked the little eunuch who was serving the wine to the ground. The wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a "chi" sound, and a puff of white smoke came out.
When Concubine Xian saw it, her face was horrified, "I will not drink, and I will not let the people behind me get what they want! I want to see the emperor, but someone is plotting against me! Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Zheng sighed, "We are so disrespectful! We are drinking with the Concubine Xian, and the Emperor is still waiting for us to return to life."
"Yes!" Two more eunuchs came up and held down Concubine Xian's feet so that she could not move.
The little eunuch directly picked up the wine jug on the tray, pinched Concubine Xian's chin, forced her to open her mouth, and drank down all the wine in the jug without leaving a drop.
Concubine Shu kept struggling, her eyes filled with despair, and blood overflowed from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
The light in his eyes gradually dissipated, his pupils began to dilate, and he refused to close his eyes.
Eunuch Zheng checked Concubine Xian's breathing and confirmed that she was dead, so he took his people back to recover her life.
The Seventh Prince flew over, his clothes were disheveled and his hair was uncombed. He had obviously been pulled out from under the quilt.
When he saw Eunuch Zheng and his men coming out of the Concubine Xian's Palace, he was trembling with an ominous premonition, and he ran madly into the dormitory.
He saw the hideous corpse of the concubine Xian, who was still alive, and the whole palace was full of palace servants kneeling and crying.
"Mother Concubine!" The seventh prince threw himself on Concubine Xian's body and cried loudly.
He felt that his heart was broken and life was worse than death.
After crying for a while, he suddenly raised his head, stared with scarlet eyes and asked the palace maid: "What's going on?"
The palace maid cried and said: "It's the emperor who said that the virtuous concubine is a demon concubine who is causing harm to the country!"
"Fart!" the seventh prince roared angrily and ran out.
Mammy shouted: "Your Highness! No, come back quickly!"
The seventh prince had disappeared, and the nanny said urgently to the eunuchs: "Quickly stop His Highness, and be sure to bring His Highness back!"
However, the seventh prince was already on the verge of madness. He also practiced martial arts to strengthen his body, ran very fast, and soon reached the emperor's bedroom.
The eunuch on duty at the entrance of the palace naturally wouldn't let him in and stopped him, "Seventh Prince, you can't go in."
The seventh prince cried: "Father! Father! Why did you listen to the evil words to confuse the public and kill your mother and concubine!"
Eunuch Zheng had just finished answering the matter of Concubine Xian when he heard the commotion outside and guessed what was going on, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince wants to see you."
Emperor Dongming was not deaf, so he naturally heard it. A hint of intolerance and guilt flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "Let him go back, so that he can be taken care of."
A smart little eunuch had gone out to deliver a message, but the seventh prince was obviously not willing to go back.
"Father! Why do you listen to evil words and confuse the public? You are indiscriminate! You are stupid... uh uh..."
The seventh prince's nanny and eunuch came over and covered the seventh prince's mouth.
But Emperor Dongming heard it clearly. He was furious, but his heirs were withering, so he still didn't want to offend the seventh prince easily.
Eunuch Zheng naturally understood the emperor's thoughts and begged: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The seventh prince is young and ignorant. He suddenly lost his mother and lost control of his emotions. It is understandable."
Emperor Dongming snorted coldly, "He is already thirteen years old, and after this year he will be fourteen. He is not young anymore!"
Eunuch Zheng made tea for Emperor Dongming and stopped talking. The seventh prince openly cursed the emperor as a coward. The emperor would not kill him, but punishment was inevitable.
Emperor Dongming pondered again and again: "Let him go to Huguo Temple to pray for Concubine Xian's salvation. Huguo Temple is full of incense and blessed by Buddha. If he sincerely prays for Buddha's blessing, he will definitely be able to wash away Concubine Xian's sins and save him and Dongming.
Eliminate disasters and solve problems.”
When Shangguan Ruoli received the news, he shook his head and said sarcastically: "You are really stupid, you don't even believe this."
The poison of feudal superstition to the ancients is really deep-rooted.
Dongming Ziyu smiled helplessly: "Aren't you sure he will believe it?"
Shangguan Ruoli raised his eyebrows proudly, "I hope the Seventh Prince will learn to be smarter, otherwise..."
"The Seventh Prince is nothing to be afraid of. The most important thing is the Chu family behind him." Dongming Ziyu hugged Shangguan Ruoli and began to reach up and down with his hands.
Shangguan Ruoli leaned softly in his arms, drawing circles on his chest with her hands, "Then it's time for Master Reaching for the Stars and Xie Jiaojiao. What are you going to do?"
