Concubine Wen smiled and said, "My sister still understands the truth."
Concubine Shu: "..." She hasn't felt so aggrieved for a long time.
What makes sense?
It’s not like Concubine Wen, a bitch, is so talkative!
Concubine Shu dared to swear that if she let Hu Hongwei off easily today and did not make Concubine Wen angry enough, this bitch would definitely go to His Majesty to file a complaint and seek justice.
When the time comes, she adds fuel to the fire and brags in front of His Majesty, making His Majesty think that she does not distinguish between public and private affairs and is partial to her own family. Who knows what His Majesty will think?
What's more, Concubine Wen has always been eyeing her, and might even take this opportunity to steal the power of the Sixth Palace from her.
She would never give Concubine Wen such a chance!
In Concubine Shu's view, ensuring her own rights and status is the most important thing.
Who is Hu Hongzhi?
His father was just a concubine, and he was not her biological nephew, yet he still caused such a scandal at her birthday party.
She didn't settle the score with him just because of his surname: Hu.
Once Concubine Shu's vital interests are threatened, she will abandon Hu Hongzhi without hesitation.
Anyway, it's just about pulling out the tongue.
It’s not like he wanted to kill him!
If you want to blame, blame Hu Hongzhi for being too stupid and incompetent! He wanted to offend Concubine Wen and her daughter.
Concubine Shu's heart hardened: "Didn't you hear what I and Concubine Wen said? Drag Hu Hongzhi down for execution, beat him fifty times with a stick, pull out his tongue and send him back to the Hu family. Just say what I said. If there is another time, I will
The palace will bring his parents to trial together! How did you teach your son!"
"Yes!" the Imperial Guards responded coldly, grabbing Hu Hongzhi and dragging him down.
Hu Hongzhi was completely stunned.
Not only will he be beaten with a rod, but his tongue will also be... pulled out?
Why!?
If he lost his tongue, wouldn't he become truly mute?
Which noble girl is willing to marry him? How can he live a good life in the rest of his life?
Many female relatives also talked about it, looking at Hu Hongzhi with expressions ranging from gloating to sympathizing with pity.
No one stood up to intercede on his behalf.
Even the thirteenth princess, who at first kept saying she believed him and spoke for him, tightly closed her mouth and said nothing.
It wasn't until he was dragged out by the imperial guards that Hu Hongzhi suddenly reacted. He was so frightened that his calves were trembling, and he cried and struggled to beg for mercy: "Aunt, aunt, I know I was wrong...please spare me this time, I
It’s really unjust, aunt..."
Concubine Shu was so noisy by him that she had a headache: "Hurry and drag her down! It's embarrassing here!"
The imperial guards grabbed Hu Hongzhi and dragged him outside.
Hu Hongzhi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He thought about the tragic situation of his tongue being pulled out and his mouth full of blood. Tears and snot flowed out. He begged Concubine Shu to no avail. He struggled to show his face to King Xiang, the Ninth Prince and others.
plead.
"Cousin Prince Xiang, cousin of the Ninth Prince, please save me...help me beg my aunt for mercy! I am really wronged, please..."
Prince Xiang frowned: "At this time, you still have the nerve to cry out for injustice?"
The Ninth Prince looked even more disgusted: "Don't call me cousin, I'm not as embarrassing a cousin as you!"
"Please... please!" Hu Hongzhi cried even more miserably. The Imperial Guards dragged him out with greater force. He was so frightened that he couldn't care less about his twisted and dislocated arm, and struggled like crazy.
With.
"I say! I say anything... don't pull out my tongue. I admit that I slandered the Eighth Princess. She didn't ask me for a private meeting... I was instigated by someone! Someone wants me
I ruined the reputation of the Eighth Princess, so I sneaked out... I told you! Please spare me!"
This is simply shocking.
Everyone in the hall was shocked: "What did you say?"
Xiao Lingyue glanced and saw the thirteenth princess's face changed drastically, and she instinctively shrank back into the crowd.
"Wait!" Concubine Wen's face turned cold, and she stood up before Concubine Shu could speak: "Let him go first and let him speak clearly."
The Imperial Guard stopped moving.
Hu Hongzhi lay on the ground like a puddle of mud, trembling with fear.
Concubine Wen said coldly: "Hu Hongzhi, tell me again, what are you doing in the palace?"
Hu Hongzhi burst into tears: "I...I was being used. Someone wanted to plot against the Eighth Princess. They asked me to...slander the Eighth Princess. I ran out because of her words."
....I am not the mastermind, I am wronged!"
Everyone gasped.
I originally thought that Hu Hongzhi had lost his mind and did something naked and indecent in the palace.
Who knew, in the end, there would be such an inside story hidden inside...
If Hu Hongwei hadn't been so frightened that he said it, no one would have known about it.
Some ladies' minds were spinning very fast, and they suddenly thought that Concubine Wen was usually kind to others, but this time she was so angry that she wanted to pluck out Hu Hongzhi's tongue alive just because he slandered the Eighth Princess...
Is there any other secret hidden in this?
If what Hu Hongzhi said is true and he came for the Eighth Princess, has he already succeeded?
Concubine Wen actually acted cruelly in anger because she wanted to avenge her daughter?
There is more than one person who has this association.
Now.
Many ladies looked at Concubine Wen with subtle expressions.
But before they could think too much about it.
Concubine Wen said coldly: "What happened next? You continue."
Hu Hongzhi cried so hard that his face twitched: "I don't know, I was harmed... I just went to the agreed place, and I was knocked unconscious... When I woke up, I was already
Lying in the garden, I really don’t know anything..."
"So, you haven't actually seen the eighth princess?" a lady couldn't help but ask.
"I... I was knocked unconscious just after I went there. I was also framed! It's all my fault, but I'm really not the mastermind. I was just used by others. My aunt, spare my life...
.Concubine Wen, please forgive me! I know I was wrong..."
Hu Hongzhi cried bitterly.
He felt that he was really wronged!
He didn't make the plan. He just followed orders and didn't do anything. He was knocked unconscious and thrown into the garden. He was also treated as an assassin and had to punch boards and pull out tongues.
There is simply no person more unlucky than him in the world.
Hu Hongzhi cried even more pitifully.
According to this, he just had evil intentions towards the Eighth Princess, but he didn't have time to take action...
Several ladies felt faintly disappointed, their hopes for a good show were in vain.
The thirteenth princess hid in the crowd, gritting her teeth secretly.
This useless piece of trash!
Why doesn't he die? If he keeps talking so much, he should just pull out his tongue!
At this moment.
Concubine Shu was stunned by Hu Hongzhi's words. Her expression suddenly changed and she immediately asked Concubine Wen: "Concubine Wen, is this a good thing you did?!"
