Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege immediately turned around and walked towards Concubine Ruan Guifei's palace again, but before they reached the place, they saw a line of imperial guards hurried past them and entered Concubine Ruan Guifei's palace. palace. Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege looked at each other, and an ominous premonition flashed across their eyes.
Sure enough, the next moment, Concubine Ruan Gui was directly pushed out by the imperial guards, and the little prince was also escorted away at the same time.
Only then did the commander of the imperial guards see Feng Yege and Lou Qingwu, and he knelt down on one knee to salute: "Ye Wang, Ye Wang, the subordinates have something to do, so take them away first." After finishing speaking, he didn't ask Concubine Ruan for help at all. Given the opportunity, he left and took him to Emperor Zong's bedroom.
When the people left, Feng Yege frowned: "Maybe the news that the little prince is fake has been exposed."
Lou Qingwu's complexion was also slightly bad: "Let's go and have a look too."
The timing was too coincidental, and the original plan was broken, so they could only wait for this matter to be resolved before trying to find a way to meet Concubine Ruan, and extract what they wanted to know from her.
When Feng Yege and Lou Qingwu arrived at Emperor Zong's bedroom, he had already woken up, and there were people kneeling on the ground outside the hall. The two looked at each other and walked in immediately, and saw the queen kneeling on the side Concubine Ruan Gui was so frightened that she lost her mind. The commander of the imperial guards stood aside holding the little prince, and Emperor Zong was helped up by Liu Jin, but his face was so dark that it seemed that he would burst out in the next moment. He stared at Concubine Ruan Gui, his lips trembled before he became ruthless Said: "Say! Is the child mine?!"
Concubine Ruan Gui was terrified: "Your Majesty, the child is really yours! You have to trust the concubine, how could the concubine do something wrong to the emperor?"
Emperor Zong clenched his hands in anger, and looked at Liu Jin fiercely: "Go! Drop blood!"
Liu Jin immediately responded, picked up a bowl filled with clear water, walked up to the little prince, asked the commander of the imperial guards to expose the little prince's finger, pricked it with a silver needle, and squeezed out a drop Blood. The child woke up from the pain, and immediately began to cry, hissing and lung-piercing, making Emperor Zong more and more upset.
Frightened, Liu Jin touched the clear water dripping with blood in front of Emperor Zong. Emperor Zong pricked his finger and dripped the blood in. He stared at the blood, but after waiting for a long time, the two drops of blood were gone. Didn't blend together. Emperor Zong immediately became angry: "Ruan Yirong, what do you think is going on?! Tell me! Who is the adulterer?!"
Concubine Ruan Guifei's face turned pale with fright, but now, she can't count with her mouth. She estimated whether the crime of adultery or the crime of bullying the emperor was more serious, and finally knocked her head on the ground : "The emperor was wronged, the concubine has always been innocent, and really did not do anything to offend the emperor!"
Emperor Zong threw the bowl at Concubine Ruan Gui: "Then what's going on?"
Ruan Guifei wiped her face, and cried: "Chenqie... Chenqie was not pregnant at the beginning, so this child was just randomly found by Chenqie from outside the palace. The emperor clearly learned that Chenqie really did not do anything to offend the emperor! "
As soon as Concubine Ruan Guifei said this, Emperor Zong's expression became slightly better: "Are you serious?"
How dare Concubine Ruan not admit it, if she admits that the child was faked by her, at most it will make the emperor angry, at least save her life first, I believe Ye Ji will definitely save her; but if she agrees with adultery , then, let alone survive, she will be directly dragged out by the emperor and chopped down in minutes.
"What the concubine said is true. If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can go to the imperial doctor Hua. He was the one who gave the concubine the pulse. The concubine also loves the emperor, so... I walked this road of no return, your majesty. Let me spare my concubine this time!"
Emperor Zong was so angry that his eyes turned hard: "Bring Hua imperial doctor!"
As soon as his voice fell, the guards immediately brought Imperial Physician Hua over. Upon seeing the situation, Imperial Physician Hua knew that the matter had been exposed, so he told everything. Emperor Zong was so angry that he immediately had Imperial Physician Hua imprisoned in the prison, and then he looked at Concubine Ruan Gui and the so-called little prince. If being assassinated with only two months left to live was a blow to Emperor Zong, then even now he always felt that his son was not his own, and that kind of blow made Emperor Zong's face turn pale.
He coughed suddenly, almost coughing out his heart and lungs. Liu Jin hurriedly helped him follow his heart. Feng Yege stepped forward and pricked him a few times with silver needles. stepped aside.
Emperor Zong took a few breaths before waving his hands and said, "Concubine Ruan is a criminal who deceived the emperor. She was stripped of her title of concubine and thrown into limbo. As for the fake prince, get rid of it!"
Feng Yege's face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, although the fake prince is indeed infuriating, the child is innocent after all, and Ye hopes to leave a way for the child to survive." That's why he and Qing Wu didn't tell Concubine Ruan that the child was fake For the sake of the prince, with Emperor Zong's temperament, how much he loved the little prince at the beginning, and how much he hated him later, so they dare not hurt an innocent little life.
Emperor Zong stared at Feng Yege, his eyes darkened several times before he waved his hand: "Whatever, but this child must not stay in the palace!" Now when he sees this child, he can't wait to throw it as far as possible .
Feng Yege breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let Ye take the child back."
Emperor Zong was stunned for a moment, thinking that Ye Wang's child seemed to be lost, thought about it, and waved his hand indifferently. Only then did he look at Concubine Ruan again: "Don't you drag him away?" Feng Yege noticed Concubine Ruan at this moment. With Concubine Ruan's temperament, she should have howled at least twice when she was thrown into the cold palace. rule? But when the Imperial Guard approached Concubine Ruan, their expressions changed drastically: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ruan..."
After speaking, he raised Concubine Ruan Guifei's head, only to find that she had already bled to death from all seven orifices.
In the whole dormitory, the concubines, who were just staying there, saw this scene and screamed in fright. After being scolded by Emperor Zong, they frowned, while Lou Qingwu and Feng Yege's expressions changed slightly. ,Oops! Concubine Ruan Gui was silenced in advance!
He frowned and gritted his teeth, but could only silently watch Ruan Guifei being dragged out. When Emperor Zong calmed down, he looked at the queen who was still kneeling on the ground, and patted the seat beside his bed: "Queen, come sit down and talk with me. Fortunately, there is a queen this time, otherwise , I am really going to die to be deceived by this woman!"
Lou Qingwu frowned, and looked at the queen in surprise, as if she hadn't seen the scene just now, she walked up to Emperor Zong and sat down, with lowered eyebrows, gentle and virtuous: "Your Majesty, don't say that, the concubine is too. I heard that many maidservants and wet nurses have gone missing in the palace recently, so I thought it might be Concubine Ruan Gui."
