King Xiang was silent for a moment, then turned around and ordered: "You guys go down first."
All the maids in the palace bowed their heads and left.
Soon only mother and son were left in the dormitory.
Concubine Shu looked at him with raised eyebrows and an annoyed look on her face.
Prince Xiang said in a low voice: "Mother, concubine, it's not that my son refuses to plead for mercy. You also know about the thirteenth matter. My father has already made up his mind, and it's useless for anyone to plead for mercy."
Concubine Shu didn't believe it: "How could it be useless! Your Majesty is not such a cruel person, he used to love Thirteen so much..."
"My father is usually very generous, and he does love Thirteen."
King Xiang interrupted her: "But don't forget, your father is first the king of a country, and then he is our father!"
The meaning of this statement is self-evident.
Concubine Shu's face turned pale.
King Xiang continued: "Father's decree has been given, and it cannot be changed. What's more, considering what Shisan has done, my father just sent her to Xiangguo Temple, which is already an open policy."
Concubine Shu's tears suddenly fell: "Your father even took away your sister's title, just because of that damn bitch eunuch!"
Her tone was extremely venomous, and she gritted her teeth, as if she was blaming all the faults on the eunuch who was beaten to death with a cane.
I wish I could eat its flesh, sleep on its skin, crush its bones and scatter its ashes!
Prince Xiang frowned slightly: "What happened last night? My mother and concubine were the first to arrive at Fengxian Hall. Please tell me about the situation at that time."
Concubine Shu said impatiently: "I don't know what stupidity your sister has committed. I heard that there was a leak in Fengxian Palace in the middle of the night. I was worried about her and hurriedly took people over to check the situation. But when I got there...
"
Concubine Shu's face turned ugly again, and she gritted her teeth and said: "The matter has become big. There are palace people and guards putting out the fire everywhere. Everyone saw the disheveled appearance of Thirteen and that bitch. I was so angry that I
..."
King Xiang sighed and said, "Just kill that eunuch with a stick, right?"
Concubine Shu was very angry: "Do you also think that I have done something wrong?"
King Xiang: "..."
He sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say.
The mother-in-law's temper is just a bit impatient.
Over the years, I have been in the palace where one person is inferior to ten thousand people. I have become accustomed to being bossy and arrogant. I have long lost the caution and caution I had when I first entered the palace, because I have done the wrong thing impulsively not once or twice.
The trouble now is that the eunuch has been beaten to death with a rod, and there is no evidence of his death.
It's not even easy to investigate this matter further.
Not even a clue.
King Xiang frowned and his face was serious.
He was thinking about how to remedy it.
Concubine Shu looked at his expression and found it very unpleasant. She said angrily: "A dirty and despicable eunuch who is worse than a dog dares to touch the princess! He also tarnished your sister's innocent reputation.
The palace gave him an advantage by giving him a stick to kill him, he should really be cut into pieces!"
King Xiang said: "But by killing him, although you relieved the hatred for a while, you also left the matter unconfirmed."
Concubine Shu screamed: "So you also think that I have done something wrong?!"
King Xiang felt tired: "Concubine, that's not what I meant..."
"You are!"
Concubine Shu was so angry that she grabbed a soft pillow and threw it at him, "How did I give birth to a son like you? Your sister was in trouble, and you didn't want to help and plead for mercy, but you came to accuse me! I gave birth to you and raised you.
What’s the use!”
Prince Xiang couldn't dodge, so he endured being hit a few times: "Concubine, please calm down..."
