"No, this matter is only just beginning. How can a mere Ye Lingyue overturn your years of hard work. You quickly enter the palace to visit Concubine Luo, and also hand this letter to Concubine Luo Gui, remember whether you can save the crown prince depends on this letter." Hong Fang is indeed scheming, the matter of the crown prince being deposed is already ready.
It is already impossible for Hong Fang to restore the prince's former identity and reputation.
But as long as the prince is still there, or in other words, the person who provided the reincarnation pill is still there, the prince and Concubine Luo are still valuable to Hong Fang.
Emperor Xia had just punished Hong Fang today, and he is now facing a crime, so naturally it is not good to enter the palace at this time, so he can only let Zhuge Rou enter the palace to offer advice to Concubine Luo.
My concubine died, and the prince was imprisoned in the sky prison. After Emperor Xia came back from the prince's other hospital, he felt dizzy and chest tight. He invited people from the imperial hospital to check, but there was no cure.
At this moment, Qiu Fangshi offered a medicine, and after Emperor Xia took it, the headache disappeared the next day.
Shocked, Emperor Xia asked Alchemist Qiu how the medicine was prepared.
"Holy Majesty, your illness is caused by working day and night, overwork and hard thinking. Only the fifth grade elixir 'Xiaozi Dan' can be cured. This medicine is difficult and easy to say. It needs a piece of heart and soul. To make a medicine guide, and the closer you are, the better the effect. The fourth prince was in the sky prison, and he heard that you had a lot of headaches because of his affairs, so he gouged out a piece of his own heart and dedicated it to the Holy Majesty as a medicine guide." Qiu Fangshi said. , Wiping tears and sighing again.
"Fourth emperor, he actually..." When Emperor Xia heard the origin of Xiaozi Pill, his heart softened again.
"My lord, I beg you to have pity on this poor concubine. The concubine has already lost a child, so she must not lose Hong'er again. The prison is bitterly cold, and Hong'er has cut out another piece of heart. Now the blood is not stopping, and he will die. Yes." Taking advantage of the situation, Concubine Luo also knelt down, begging from the side.
Emperor Xia's eyes gradually changed, and he sighed.
No matter how bad Xia Houhong is, it is still his flesh and blood.
Why did he want to put the crown prince to death? When he was in the other courtyard today, he saw the crown prince molesting such a young child. At that time, Emperor Xia was furious and wished he could kill that evil animal himself.
But when he thought about it, for himself as a father,
"Forget it, get that damned animal first..." Emperor Xia was about to speak, and let the prince out first.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, an eunuch hurried in.
"Your Majesty, dozens of civilians kneeled outside the Summer Palace. They claimed to avenge their children and demanded that the Holy One severely punish the murderer." When Emperor Xia heard this, his already loose heart sank instantly.
Concubine Luo didn't want to lose her only son, so why did those common people kneeling outside want to lose their children.
As a king, he has the world in his heart, and he is also the parent of the people in the world.
If he can't avenge the grievances of his people, wouldn't he become a faint king
Emperor Xia sighed, the headache that had been healed began to hurt again.
"Noble concubine, I have made up my mind. The prince has committed a heinous crime, and I will hand it over to the clan's family to deal with it. I am exhausted, and you all step back."
Emperor Xia waved his hand, his words made Concubine Luo Gui, who had a glimmer of hope, slump on the ground.
How is it possible, Hong Fang's letter clearly stated that as long as he did what he said, the Holy Majesty would definitely look back on the old love and let Hong Er come out.
Fearing that Concubine Luo Gui would continue to make trouble, the eunuchs hurriedly helped her back down.
In the Hong residence, Hong Fang's room was also brightly lit with candles.
Zhuge Rou didn't come back from the palace until before and after lighting the lamp.
"How? Has the crown prince come out yet? Hong Fang has been a courtier for more than ten years and knows Emperor Xia's temperament very well.
Emperor Xia is honest and honest, and filial piety is the most important thing. Although the fourth prince committed a heinous crime today, if he offered his heart and soul, Emperor Xia would definitely be moved.
"The fourth prince is still imprisoned in the prison. Originally, Emperor Xia was really moved and wanted to let him go after hearing the allusion about Xiaozidan. But at that time, there were many parents of murdered children kneeling outside the palace. After hearing this, Emperor Xia I changed my mind and asked Concubine Luo not to intercede." Zhuge Rou was also very depressed.
After Concubine Luo Gui returned to her bedroom, she was in a hurry. In addition, she just slipped a tire earlier, she vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and passed out again.
Zhuge Ruan and Qiu Fangshi worked hard for a long time before they rescued Concubine Luo Gui.
"How is this possible? The corpse of the child found in the prince's other courtyard has not had time to confirm the identity. Where did the commoner couple cry in mourning?" Hong Fang felt that something was wrong.
He thought again and stood up abruptly.
"Ye Lingyue, that little bitch Ye Lingyue must have done it again."
Unfortunately, it was too late for Hong Fang to realize all this.
Hong Fang knew that he had missed the best chance to save Xia Houhong this time, and it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to keep Xia Houhong. Thinking of this, Hong Fang let out a long sigh.
Outside the palace, dozens of "crying" men and women were taking the silver taels from Ye Lingyue.
Everyone needs to kneel outside the palace for an hour, cry a few times, and each person can get a tael of silver. Such a good deal does not come across every day.
After those people took the silver taels, they all left happily.
"Father was indeed very angry and changed his mind temporarily. Xia Houhong is still being imprisoned in the prison, waiting for interrogation by the clan's mansion." When the sixth prince saw the group of men and women who had left, his brows were filled with emotion, and at the same time A bit of admiration, but more is suddenly lost.
Ye Lingyue used Xiao Wuya today to capture Prince Hong, and skillfully eradicated his concubine. She had predicted all the actions of Prince Hong and Hong Fang.
As the queen mother said, she is not someone she can grasp.
Seeing Prince Hong and Concubine Luo lose power, Hong Fang's status also plummeted, but Xia Houqi was not too happy, he felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Ye Lingyue.
"Sixth Prince, let's go see Emperor Xia. At this time, he needs comfort very much." Ye Lingyue didn't pay attention to the disappointment in Xia Houqi's eyes, turned around and walked somewhere in the Xia Palace.
"Lingyue, that's the prison over there, what is this?" the sixth prince wondered.
"I heard that the fourth prince cut out a piece of heart to treat Emperor Xia's illness. I followed the order of Fangshi Mei to treat the fourth prince, so that he would not lose too much blood and die before he could be interrogated by the clan's mansion." Ye Lingyue said, walking towards the prison with extremely happy steps.
The Sky Prison of the Summer Palace is located on the northernmost side of the Imperial Palace. There is no sunlight all year round. The cell is damp and cold. In spring and summer, mice would occasionally run across the sky prison.
Under the dim light, all kinds of instruments of torture were stained with blood, which looked particularly terrifying.
