Hearing this, Xiao Junxi patted her forehead angrily and said with a smile, "You are the one who wants to listen, and you are the one who is annoyed. I can't take care of you."
He was used to joking with Xie Ruzhuo, and the maids on the side also secretly smiled, and then ran out quickly under the glare of their master.
Seeing this, Xie Ruzhuo was both angry and amused and said, "You dare to say anything and you don't care about others."
As expected, Xiao Junxi came up to her in the next moment, held her in her arms, and lowered her voice, saying, "When I say some thoughtful words to my wife, do I have to avoid others? You are the one I am marrying." Woolen cloth."
When he said this, there was a trace of obvious grievance, as if he was a doormat.
Xie Ruzhuo was stunned for a moment, then blushed, hit him, and said angrily, "I didn't notice it at first, but now I'm even more shameless."
Why did that handsome young man who was like an immortal become a slut after getting married
This must be her illusion!
Xiao Junxi was very satisfied with her evaluation. She took advantage of her not paying attention and pecked her on the lips. Then she said with satisfaction, "Even if you are shameless and shameless, you are doing it to my wife. Could it be that you, my wife?" Don’t you like it?”
Seeing that he was talking more and more irrelevant, Xie Ruzhuo simply pushed him aside and walked out to tell the maid guarding outside, "Jiangzhu, please pass the meal."
After she got up, she waited for Xiao Junxi to have breakfast with her. By now, her stomach was almost flattened by hunger, but someone didn't even think about it and only focused on eating her own tofu!
When he thought of this, Xie Ruzhuo felt a little angry, and looked at Xiao Junxi with a hint of accusation.
Xiao Junxi hugged her beloved wife again, comforting her slightly while changing the topic elsewhere.
However, the topic did not change after all. After receiving a few tender punches from Xie Ruzhuo, his beloved wife's complexion improved a lot.
The fifth prince Xiao Junyi's rebellion case was going on vigorously for more than a month, and by the end of October, a conclusion was finally reached. After the interrogation of the three departments, a number of officials related to the fifth prince were arrested and beheaded. For a while, the officials in the capital who had had contact with the fifth prince were panicked.
But after everyone else had dealt with it, when it came to the most important person, the three divisions also started to blame each other.
I really don’t blame them, let others deal with it, but who dares to deal with the instigator, the biological son of Emperor Jing, at will
Therefore, the matter was eventually pushed to Emperor Jing's desk.
There are those who advocate killing him to rectify the imperial court, and naturally there are those who advocate sparing the fifth prince's life to show the mercy of our emperor.
After the quarrel between the officials on both sides, Emperor Jing couldn't bear the disturbance. Just when he was about to invite his other sons to discuss it together, something big happened in the palace.
Concubine Hui hanged herself to death.
There were people kneeling on the ground in Zhilan Palace. The originally noisy and lively palace was now dead silent. The people in the palace did not even dare to express their anger, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be angered by Emperor Jing in front of them.
"How is this going?"
Emperor Jing took a deep breath and looked at the woman lying on the bed, feeling like his head was exploding.
Just half an hour ago, someone from the palace came to deliver a message, saying that Concubine Hui of Zhilan Palace had hanged herself. At first he thought it was the woman who was playing tricks, but when he arrived, what he saw was her dead body.
There was no scar on her body, only a deep purple bruise on her neck, showing how tragically she passed away from this world.
Hearing Emperor Jing's inquiry, the old nanny next to Concubine Hui plucked up her courage and replied, "Your Majesty, in the morning Concubine Hui said she wanted to eat the cloud cake made by the old slave. When the old slave came back, he found that Concubine Hui The dormitory was locked from the inside. The maid who was guarding said that Concubine Hui was tired and wanted to sleep. At first, the old slave didn't take it to heart, but who knew that it was almost noon and the concubine hadn't come out yet. The old slave was panicked and asked someone to force the door open. , who knows, I saw the empress—"
At this point, the old grandma couldn't hold it back anymore, she covered her mouth and whined in pain.
Emperor Jing walked to the bed involuntarily. Concubine Hui's eyes were closed tightly, and her face was peaceful. Even though he didn't want to believe it, he knew that she would never open her eyes to look at him again.
Although Xiao Junyi did such things, it would be a lie if Emperor Jing said he did not blame Concubine Hui. But he never thought about letting Concubine Hui die!
"A bunch of useless slaves, what do I need from you? Just beat them to death!"
Emperor Jing had an unknown fire in his heart, mixed with his intolerance for Concubine Hui, and vented it all on the palace attendants of Zhilan Palace.
Upon hearing this, the group of palace people immediately kowtowed and cried, "Your Majesty, please be merciful, please spare your life!"
On the other hand, the old nun from before wiped the tears on her face and said in a trembling voice, "Even if the emperor hadn't told you, I would have gone down to accompany the concubine Hui. It's just that the emperor wrote you a letter before she left. Letter, would you like to see it?"
Emperor Jing immediately turned his head and said roughly, "Bring it to me!"
The old woman stood up and handed over the letter with "Your Majesty's Personal Letter" written on the table.
The lettering on the cover of the letter was bright red and had a unique smell of blood. You could tell at a glance what kind of writing it was.
Emperor Jing's heart trembled and he couldn't wait to open the letter, but he didn't dare to read it.
He took a deep breath and unfolded the letter.
"Long live my emperor. When I first saw you in the light rain of apricot blossoms, I knew that there was no escape in this life. The only one in my heart was you. After twenty-five years of companionship, I felt deeply grateful and knelt down to thank the heaven. However, I was unfilial to my son. , actually did such a treasonous and unethical thing. As a mother, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities of upbringing; as a wife, I failed to protect my husband. I feel guilty and have no face to see you. Once I leave today, I will never see you again."
"An unfilial son deceives the king and ignores his superiors. The concubines dare not plead for mercy. I only hope that the king can calm down and not worry about foreign affairs. The unfaithful son will bring the blame on himself, and whatever the consequences will be depends on the king."
"Eat frequently, don't think about my concubine, drink the golden water, and say goodbye to you."
This letter was written in blood. From beginning to end, there was no plea to Emperor Jing. It was all words of repentance.
Emperor Jing's hand holding the blood book trembled a little, and a drop of turbid tears slowly fell from his eyes.
Since the incident in the capital, Concubine Hui came to see Emperor Jing more than once, but Emperor Jing was annoyed with her because of Xiao Junyi's affairs and never saw her once.
There was no intention of letting her reflect on her past.
But who would have thought that she would hang a piece of white silk in Zhilan Palace and leave such a blood letter!
Recalling that back then, he had favored Concubine Hui. When we first met, she smelled like a book, and was as delicate as a daughter. It's just that at that time, he was heartless, and he was equally interested in the harem, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
Later, after Queen Ye left, he desperately looked for Queen Ye's shadow, and it was at this time that Concubine Hui began to be favored by him.
Many quiet nights, he and she played chess pieces and listened to her playing the zither and singing. Later, there was Xiao Junyi.
Even a shadow, after more than twenty years of companionship, has already developed emotions.
What's more, he actually has her in his heart.
The imperial family is the most unfeeling and affectionate.
After a long time, Emperor Jing put away the letter, glanced tiredly at the trembling palace servants kneeling in the palace, and said, "Everyone, please go down."
When the palace officials heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly thanked them, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Go and send someone to bring the fifth prince to see his mother and concubine one last time."
Hearing Emperor Jing's words, Eunuch Lin first raised his head in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and said respectfully, "I obey the order."
Not long after, Xiao Junyi was escorted over by the Royal Forest Army.
In these days, Emperor Jing saw his son for the first time.
After not seeing him for a while, he had lost a lot of weight, and the flamboyance he once had on his face had disappeared, leaving only a look of deathly ashen.
Seeing Emperor Jing, Xiao Junyi rarely argued, but knelt down indifferently and kowtowed in greeting.
No matter how angry Emperor Jing was, it turned into sadness when he saw him, and said, "Get up and kowtow to your mother and concubine."
Xiao Junyi originally looked a little gray, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the bed.
But when he saw it, he was instantly shocked. He stood up from the ground, stumbled to the bed, grabbed Concubine Hui's already cold hand, and cried, "Concubine, concubine, don't scare me! "
Emperor Jing closed his eyes, opened them again, blocked out the tears that wanted to come out, and then said firmly, "You killed her, what can you say now?"
Xiao Junyi suddenly turned around and said with a sad smile, "You said I killed her? Didn't you know that you are the biggest murderer! My mother and concubine have been thinking about you all these years and never dared to make a mistake. Why? She ended up like this! A piece of white silk, is this your final reward to her?"
Hearing this, Emperor Jing kicked him over and pointed at him with trembling fingers, "You bastard, did you also say this? If your mother and concubine weren't for you, why would you hang yourself? She was trying to save your life. It cost me my life to become soft-hearted!"
Although there was no mention of Concubine Hui in her letter, how could Emperor Jing not understand her after being married for so many years
If she begs, Emperor Jing may not agree, but if she doesn't ask, Emperor Jing will definitely do it!
After hearing this, the anger on Xiao Junyi's face immediately receded. He shook his head randomly and murmured, "No, it's impossible. Concubine, concubine!"
When Xiao Junyi read to the end, his voice became more and more miserable. The sound of crying and laughing sounded particularly miserable, which made people feel cold.
At the end, Xiao Junyi's cries gradually subsided, and he turned around and knelt in front of Emperor Jing, almost roaring, "Aren't you the emperor? Life or death is up to you. Quickly issue an order, kill me." I will be buried with my mother and concubine! Kill me!"
Emperor Jing looked at Xiao Junyi who was almost crazy in front of him, took a step back, looked at him deeply, and walked out suddenly.
"Xiao Linzi, according to my decree, the fifth prince Xiao Junyi is crazy and has lost his moral character. Now he will be deprived of his position and his position, and he will be imprisoned in Zhilan Palace and will never be allowed to leave."
If anyone must be responsible for this matter, then Concubine Hui's life is enough. What's more, he was born as a father and failed to fulfill his responsibility.
This matter has come to an end, and no one else should pay the price with their lives!
At dusk, encounter the devil.
Crying sounds came from Zhilan Palace, and at the end, it gradually turned into a man's murmuring. The Zhilan Palace, which was originally bustling with people, was also given a thick seal by the palace officials.
From then on, there was no more Concubine Hui or the fifth prince in the palace.
