Chapter 440 Rebellion? Is the queen mother talking about herself?
Chapter 440 Rebellion? Is the Queen Mother talking about herself?
Luo Jiuli spoke urgently and quickly, not forgetting to flatter the emperor at the end.
The emperor, on the other hand, showed no emotion from beginning to end. He neither reprimanded Luo Jiuli for despising imperial power because of Concubine Hu's beating, nor did he show concern for Concubine Hu's honor and face.
What's more, Luo Jiuli said that the Ninth Prince had already told the emperor about that matter?
No wonder! No wonder the emperor was not surprised or expressed any opinions just now.
Since the emperor knew everything, he did not pursue the relationship between the Ninth Prince and Luo Jiuli.
So what reason do outsiders have to hold on to it?
Besides, what Luo Jiuli just said is not unreasonable.
When that incident happened, she had not yet married King Zhao.
The two of them were not willing to deal with force majeure. Now if they continue to shout and kill, saying something contrary to ethics, it is suspected of adding insult to injury.
When some of the clan officials thought of this, they lowered their heads silently and closed their mouths.
However, Luo Jiuli's slap was not the same as the emperor's slap just now.
After all, it was the first time in history for a courtier to beat a noble concubine.
Concubine Hu's own son, Prince Zhao, was stunned for a short time. Regardless of the eyes of everyone present, he clenched his fist and was about to hit Luo Jiuli.
"You dare."
Xiao Mingxuan turned sideways and hugged Luo Jiuli into his arms, raised his leg and kicked King Zhao in the heart. With a bang, King Zhao was kicked out.
In just one night, such big changes occurred in the palace.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly changed, and she was so gloomy that she seemed to be dripping with water.
She looked at the action of Xiao Mingxuan in front of her protecting Luo Jiuli in his arms, and at the hands of the two people tightly holding each other.
I just wanted to eat those two people alive on the spot.
"Ninth Prince, you are so presumptuous that you dare to act cruelly and wreak havoc in front of the emperor and the clan ministers. Do you want to rebel?"
"Rebellion? Are you talking about yourself?"
The corners of Xiao Mingxuan's thinned lips formed a proud arc, and he let go of Luo Jiuli, covering him by his side.
"The Queen Mother of a great country actually associates with such a notorious scum in the world? What is the Queen Mother's intention? Do you really think that all the clan members and courtiers in the palace are blind?"
The blind-eyed clan members and courtiers all lowered their heads, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Although the Queen Mother was cunning and resourceful, she had no support from the Sima Mansion.
Concubine Hu seemed to have unlimited favor, but the emperor did not take her seriously at all.
Prince Zhao thought he had military merit, but his foundation was still shallow.
If these three people plot against the Ninth Prince together, aren't they looking for death?
Not to mention using such low-level and despicable tactics.
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at everyone with a smile, but the smile could not hide the coldness in his eyes.
Then he raised his palms, and Qin Yin behind him seemed to be the roundworm in his stomach. He understood his master's next move without him having to say anything.
A dagger with a cold light was carefully placed in Xiao Mingxuan's hand by Qin Yin.
"I originally wanted to see what this spirit snake Gu girl is capable of and let her cast her charm on King Zhao again, but now it seems that it is not necessary."
The sound fell, the cold light rose, and a shrill scream was heard coming from the spirit girl's mouth.
Then two streams of blood flowed out of the spirit girl's eyes.
And the spiritual girl who was so popular in front of the Queen Mother was curled up on the ground, covering her eyes with her hands, and roaring in pain.
"My eyes, my eyes."
Everyone knew that the Ninth Prince was violent and capricious, but they didn't know that three years after returning from the battlefield, the Ninth Prince's methods were still so bloody.
In front of the emperor, the queen mother, all the clan members and courtiers, the prince of Sangnan Kingdom, the fifth princess and many envoys, he stabbed the person's eyes out.
These nine kings really don’t know how to show mercy and cherish jade!
No, Jiu Wang understands, but all that tenderness was given to Luo Jiuli.
The Ninth Prince's move not only shocked all the clan members and courtiers in the palace, but even the crown prince, the fifth princess, and the envoys behind him all turned pale and became as silent as death.
Because they have already seen that this is the real purpose of the emperor and the nine kings to keep them in the palace.
The combination of the spirit snake Gu girl, a native of Sangnan, Yan Tinglian, and the spirit girl really makes people suspicious.
However, what puzzled them was that the Ninth Prince's men could actually capture this spirit girl who knew how to charm and poison.
This made Prince Shan look at Xiao Mingxuan a little more cautiously.
On the side, the emperor looked around and spoke casually.
"It's too rude for you to do this in front of the Nine Kings, Prince Shan and the Fifth Princess."
The Nine Kings threw the dagger to Qin Yin without even looking at the spirit girl who fell to the ground and wailed.
"Brother, please forgive me, but this spirit woman is of such a bad nature that she dared to trick the Queen Mother into using poison in the palace?"
"Blinding her eyes is just a small lesson to her."
"Um!!"
The emperor looked at the blood all over the ground without even frowning.
"What the Nine Kings said is not unreasonable. That's the case, Luo Yuanliang."
After the emperor finished speaking, Luo Yuanliang walked up to the hall with an armored imperial guard at the door.
"Wei Chen is here."
In the silence, the emperor spoke coldly:
"Drag that spirit girl out of the palace, give her fifty punishments with a stick, and find out if there is someone behind her who is instigating her."
"Wei Chen accepts the decree."
Luo Yuanliang accepted the order and waved his hand.
The armored imperial guards behind him stepped forward and dragged out the spirit girl who was paralyzed on the ground.
Within a moment, the sound of the beating with the rod and the painful wails of the spirit girl could be heard outside the palace.
The emperor didn't speak, just sat quietly in his chair.
Xiao Mingxuan also turned around and walked silently to Luo Jiuli's side.
The Queen Mother fell weakly on the chair, her whole body was limp, her expression was stiff and numb.
Concubine Hu and Prince Zhao covered their cheeks, cold sweat dripping down their backs, and lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.
A trembling man, with a gloomy look on his face.
On the other side, the expressions on the faces of Prince Shan, the fifth princess, and the envoys from Sangnan Kingdom became increasingly ugly.
The Emperor and the Ninth Prince sang in harmony, who were these words for?
Naturally, let them listen to it?
"emperor."
The fifth princess spoke coldly under the look that Prince Shan gave her.
"This spirit snake voodoo girl is infamous in our country of Sangnan. What she has done has always been shameful. Not to mention the people in my royal family who avoid these evil cults, even ordinary people will not interact with them.
."
"However, I still want to remind you that this spirit snake voodoo girl is not only good at using charm, but also good at using voodoo poison. It is better to be careful when coming into contact with her."
"Of course, the Ninth Prince just blinded one of her eyes. She is not afraid of this charm, but this poison -"
The fifth princess paused.
"This princess can help me a little bit."
What the fifth princess said was somewhat level.
Is she telling the emperor and all the clan ministers that the spirit snake Gu girl has nothing to do with the Sangnan royal family?
