Don't look at Hu Hongzhi who keeps saying that he was murdered.
But in fact, he himself is not clean, and the eighth princess is also involved.
In order to escape the torture of having his tongue pulled out, Hu Hongzhi blurted out his intentions towards the Eighth Princess, but instead shot himself in the foot.
But as he said, he was only instigated by others and not the mastermind of the plot against the Eighth Princess.
And it hasn’t succeeded yet.
If he really wanted to get to the bottom of it, the person who instigated him would naturally be the most hateful. Concubine Wen's anger would definitely be directed at the person behind the scenes, and she wouldn't care so much about him, a little person who was being manipulated.
Hu Hongzhi might be able to save his life in the cracks.
At worst...it's better than being dragged down and having your tongue pulled out alive, right?
Hu Hongzhi shrank tremblingly, not daring to say a word.
At this time, Concubine Wen said coldly: "Since King Xiang and King Cheng have said so, and this matter involves my own daughter, I won't be polite."
She reached out and tapped Hu Hongwei on the ground: "This person will be handed over to me for interrogation. Your Highnesses have no objections, right?"
King Xiang and King Cheng looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
Even Concubine Shu had nothing to say.
The Thirteenth Princess hid behind the crowd. Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, she wanted to jump out and ask someone to drag Hu Hongzhi down, but there was no reason.
My heart was spinning with anxiety.
She could only pray secretly: I hope Hu Hongzhi would tighten his mouth and never say anything he shouldn't!
"Hu Hongzhi!"
Concubine Wen's cold voice sounded.
"Yes..." Hu Hongzhi trembled and instinctively raised his head.
"You said someone ordered you to enter the palace and plot against the Eighth Princess. Who is this person?" Concubine Wen asked straightforwardly.
Hu Hongzhi's face changed slightly and he hesitated: "This...I..."
He hasn't thought about what to say yet.
Concubine Wen interrupted: "You'd better think it through before speaking. Don't tell me that you don't know."
Hu Hongzhi: "..."
He tried to defend himself: "I was being used, I really didn't know..."
Concubine Wen was too lazy to listen to such words. She asked, "Do you know what the crime of murdering and plotting against the royal princess is?"
Hu Hongzhi: "..."
"The crime is punishable by death, and may even involve your parents and family!"
Concubine Wen's face was cold: "How can the royal family tolerate the provocation of a villain like you? The eighth princess of this palace is of royal royal blood. Not to mention plotting against her, even if she loses a hair, I will make you pay with your blood."
cost!"
Hu Hongzhi: "..."
His face was as pale as a ghost, his teeth were chattering, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably with fear.
He knew that what Concubine Wen said was true, and the royal majesty did not allow for provocation.
Even though the Eighth Princess was not a direct descendant, she was still of royal blood, and she was quite the favored daughter of Emperor Zhaoming.
In her mother's family, although Concubine Wen is not as high in status as Concubine Shu, it does not mean that she is not as favored as Concubine Shu.
The main reason why Concubine Shu was able to become a concubine and control half of the power in the harem was that she had a good belly and gave birth to two princes and a daughter for Emperor Zhaoming.
She was the concubine who gave birth to the most children in the harem. For this merit, Emperor Zhaoming could not justify not granting her a high position.
