In Xiaotingxuan, Wu Zhe and others could see clearly from a distance.
Concubine Zhuang was admiring the flowers, and on the other side of the garden was a deacon and eunuch leading a man over.
That man is none other than the eldest prince.
Sure enough, it was the same as guessed! Wu Zhe screamed in his heart, becoming anxious uncontrollably.
Concubine Zhuang? Did it really have something to do with her? What does it mean that the eldest prince appears there? Princess Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she began to enrich the details of various conjectures.
Although she is an intelligent person, she is still slightly behind Wu Zhe and Emperor Xuanwu. Moreover, Wu Zhe and the state affairs have been preoccupied with his thoughts recently, so he didn't spend too much time thinking about politics, and he couldn't guess what would happen to Concubine Zhuang for a while.
Wu Zhe had already guessed the truth.
Emperor Xuanwu's plan... is to let the eldest prince and concubine Zhuang die together!
Concubine Zhuang's appearance here is a habit of appreciating flowers.
The appearance of the eldest prince in this garden must have been arranged by Emperor Xuanwu. As long as someone casually whispers something in the eldest prince's ear, he can anxiously come to the palace to argue with Emperor Xuanwu. The deacons and eunuchs arranged at that time will lead the eldest prince to the garden.
Then use a certain method to get the eldest prince and concubine Zhuang together, or drug them, or knock them out, anyway, as long as they deliberately create charges of molesting the concubine and promiscuous|disturbing the palace.
When the time comes, the eldest prince will not say that he will be punished and punished, at least his reputation for fighting for the position will be completely lost.
Whether Concubine Zhuang is willing or unwilling, she only needs to hang on the three-foot white silk beam, and everyone else thinks that she committed suicide in shame and indignation.
This is the trick of killing sons and concubines!
Not only did he get rid of the heir who he had already disliked for the throne, but he also helped Prince Mo pave the way for the prince. He also got rid of the concubine who put on a cuckold for him, except for the suffocation in his heart. Definitely killing two birds with one stone.
Not only that, the scheme of killing sons and concubines can also beat himself hard, and educate his daughter. Emperor Xuanwu is definitely fierce enough.
"The emperor please spare her life!" Wu Zhe asked again. Even now, she's trembling and pretending to be warned. It was more in line with her long-term interests as an undercover agent, but she couldn't help but plead for mercy.
Although he didn't have any deep relationship with Concubine Zhuang, Wu Zhe couldn't help but feel that such a beautiful woman would die before his eyes.
"You are also a capital crime, but a life crime is hard to forgive. Why do you still have time to ask for her forgiveness?"
"The emperor's grace is mighty. A little bit of luck in my heart, maybe I can ask for it."
"It's just a woman. Could it be that the two of you really have a lot of affection?" Emperor Xuanwu still had a smile in his words.
Wu Zhe secretly called the emperor's smile in his heart, it's terrible, he laughs when he wants to kill someone, is it a typical representative of the legendary high-ranking person who is extremely angry
But if he was really angry, he would not allow himself to speak here at all.
So Concubine Zhuang is a tragedy, and the eldest prince is also a tragedy.
In the garden, Concubine Zhuang who didn't know that she was about to enter the urn, and the eldest prince who also didn't know that he was going to be unlucky. The distance is getting closer.
If there was not a peach forest between the two, I am afraid that they would have seen each other long ago.
Concubine Zhuang has never had any contact with the eldest prince, but as long as it is reported in the palace that the eldest prince is molesting or even blaspheming the noble concubine, who would say that there is fraud in it
It must be a dead end for the two of them!
Under Wu Zhe's second request, Emperor Xuanwu still did not agree to let Concubine Zhuang go.
Instead, he looked at Princess Qing: "Girl Qing, do you think Zhou Zhiruo should accept Zhou Zhiruo's request or not?"
Princess Qing's complexion changed upon hearing this, and her cheeks flushed immediately.
She knew about her affair with Zhou Zhiruo. In all likelihood, he did not escape Emperor Xuanwu's eyes and ears.
Whether it's Zhuang Ning Palace or Chang Qing Palace. Everyone has the eyes and ears of Emperor Xuanwu. This thoughtful emperor controls a cobweb-like spy system.
"Father..." Princess Qing didn't know what to say for a while.
"Since you are hesitant, I'm afraid that once Zhou Zhiruo asks for help, you will have to declare that you are willing to let Concubine Zhuang go." Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't have to say it."
Princess Qing choked for a moment. But if you think about it carefully, it really is.
"Women are hard to break. Don't talk about you, Qing girl. Even Zhou Zhiruo, a peerless female think tank, has lost the correct consideration when it comes to love affairs." Emperor Xuanwu suddenly laughed softly: "So you women, you can't achieve great things. !Since ancient times, there have only been male emperors, so why come queens!"
Princess Qing gritted her teeth lightly. Glancing at Wu Zhe, he remained silent.
At this time, in the distant garden, the eldest prince and concubine Zhuang could already see a few words.
Neither side expected to run into each other accidentally here. Although they were just nodding acquaintances, they still remembered that they had seen each other face to face in some festivals and other big occasions, so normal greetings were still unavoidable.
It's just that neither of them expected that the deacon and eunuch who had just led the way quietly retreated with Concubine Zhuang's entourage.
When Concubine Zhuang noticed the abnormal behavior of the people around her, her feet suddenly went limp, and she staggered and fell forward.
Wu Zhe could see clearly that there was an expert hiding in the shadows, and he slapped Concubine Zhuang's knee with a snap of his fingers.
This kind of thing would never happen on weekdays, because who would dare to make a mistake in the palace? But the natural exception arranged by the emperor.
Concubine Zhuang couldn't help herself, and staggered forward.
The eldest prince was originally upset, so he was caught off guard and subconsciously supported Concubine Zhuang.
Concubine Zhuang was about to get up in a hurry, but she felt her legs completely lost their senses. Immediately afterwards, there was another pain in the back of the head, as if being hit by something in the back of the head, and she fainted in the arms of the eldest prince.
"Concubine Zhuang!" The eldest prince exclaimed.
But before he finished speaking, his legs gave way, and he fell to the ground, rolling with Concubine Zhuang.
"Ah! Your Highness, what are you doing!" The deacon and eunuch just jumped out just right.
Followed by Concubine Zhuang's servants, they all opened their mouths in disbelief.
"I, I... no! No!" The eldest prince who was still throwing himself on Concubine Zhuang was completely dumbfounded.
There was a blank in his mind, no matter how stupid he was, he still felt that something was wrong. This is no less than catching|raping|in bed, and I don't know how to explain it.
Wu Zhe watched the whole process from a distance, couldn't help sighing secretly, and made a request again: "Please let the emperor go online and save Concubine Zhuang's life, Zhiruo will never dare again."
Emperor Xuanwu stood up, looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "Woman who is of no use, at a time like this, she keeps begging."
Wu Zhe said: "The death of the eldest prince cannot be changed, but the death of Concubine Zhuang is unnecessary."
"Hmph! If she doesn't die, is she placed in the harem to make me angry?!"
Wu Zhe suddenly thought of a way to survive, and hurriedly shouted: "Concubine Zhuang can see through the world of mortals and become a nun!" (To be continued...)
