Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Chapter 108

"What, what did you say?!"

In Guangyang Palace, after listening to Xinxue's report, Concubine Wan felt as if she had aged ten years in an instant, her face quickly turned gray, and even her figure became almost crumbling.

"Hui'er and father—" her voice trembled, and she paused for a while before she finally spoke the last part of her words, "Have they lost the army?"

"Yes, empress... The nine princesses led troops into the palace, and they have already ordered to kill all the soldiers who are sincerely devoted to His Royal Highness Qian. There is no room for change..."

Xinxue is a girl who came from the Duke's mansion as a dowry, and has served Concubine Wan for decades, but this is the first time she has seen the latter's desolate and hopeless appearance.As a result, she couldn't help feeling pain in her heart, and quickly stepped forward to support the other party, shaking her head and sighing deeply: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying bluntly: If you had listened to His Highness the Fifth Prince's advice and stopped as soon as possible, how could we have fallen into this trap?" How about this field so far?"

"No, Xinxue, you don't understand," Concubine Wan shook her head very slowly, grabbed Xinxue's arm, her fingertips were frighteningly cold, "If you don't fight this hard... Hui'er's future, Bengong's queen For half my life, do I have to let the Ninth Princess Ming Tan wantonly manipulate me?!"

"—It's hard to say whether you will be at the mercy of this princess."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the conversation in this room fell, a chuckle came from outside the hall.I saw Ming Tan and Lin Shurong stepping over the threshold together, with their hands in their sleeves, looking mockingly at the white-faced Concubine Wan, and said coldly: "This princess only knows that the rest of your and Minghui's lives... now must be decided by you." The prison and the court are here to make arrangements."

They were able to break into their own palace so easily, obviously the whole palace was under Ming Tan's control.Concubine Wan quickly realized this fact, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, subconsciously clenched her fingertips, and her long Danko red armor pierced deep into her flesh - it seemed that only by using such piercing pain to suppress anger and unwillingness could she manage to hold on own demeanor.

"Before His Majesty makes a decree, this palace is still the only imperial concubine in the Tiancheng Dynasty, so don't speak wild words!"

"Kyogen? Huh."

Ming Tan narrowed his eyes, and the curve of his lips became more ironic, "You don't think that as long as you have never personally participated in the conspiracy, you can really be alone and blame your good son? "

"I……"

The words Wan Guifei was about to refute got stuck in her throat, and her breathing suddenly stagnated - what Ming Tan said was right, this was actually the original plan of the mother and son.

Although Minghui is stupid, he is not a white-eyed wolf, and he also understands the essence of a comeback.His status as a prince is a natural gold medal for avoiding death. Even if the matter is revealed, there is no need to be afraid. Anyway, at most, he is only in the palace of long-term imprisonment. He just needs to do his best to tear the mother and concubine away from this conspiracy.

Therefore, they have already discussed a complete countermeasure, firmly believing that no matter what, at least Concubine Wan's life can be saved...

"That's all. At this point, the imperial concubine, it doesn't matter if I tell you in advance."

Ming Tan lazily leaned against the door frame, raised his hand like a villain, and Concubine Chaowan waved the envelope in her hand, and said lightly: "On the way here, this princess happened to meet Concubine Ning, she But gave me some wonderful things—”

The next moment, in Concubine Wan's widening eyes, the young princess smiled, lazily saluted the former, and said sincerely: "It should be enough for you to be closely related with His Royal Highness Qian Wang and Lord Cheng. , even in the underworld...you can still have family reunion and share the happiness of family."

"You, what are you talking about?" Concubine Wan Gui stared at the thing in her hand in disbelief, gritted her teeth, her eyes gradually changed from shock to fierceness, almost roaring, "That bitch Zhu Xisheng, how can she dare?!"

"Back then, the family of the Zhu family was ruined. Didn't you, madam, also throw stones into the well and put all the evidence that killed Wen Jieyu's third miscarriage on Concubine Ning?" Ming Tan raised his eyebrows and looked at the other party's demeanor with satisfaction. Lost, after the gentle mask she had been maintaining was finally completely broken, she bent her eyes and said with a smile, "If you want me to tell you, Concubine Ning is just telling the whole story about the crimes you two committed together, without any imposition or slander. ...In comparison, it's really too benevolent, don't you think?"

Staring at the package of letters with both eyes, listening to the other party's sneering sarcasm, Concubine Wan's dignified and beautiful face gradually became distorted, and the eyes staring at Ming Tan were also terrifying and gloomy, obviously being very angry by the latter.

——However, within a short moment, her eyeballs paused slightly, as if she had realized something, she took two deep breaths, and said as calmly as possible: "Princess Nine, you may not know, this palace has always been a cautious People. Even if there was some negligence in the past and left some clues, it will definitely not endanger her status and life; " She hooked her lips and showed a confident smile, "Otherwise, how could it be so easy back then... just How about putting all the charges on Zhu Xisheng?"

After hearing this, Ming Tan clenched his fingertips and frowned subconsciously, but Concubine Wan Gui, who had an insight into her expression, immediately noticed the clue, and said with a smile: "It seems that what I expected was right, you really haven't had time to check it. Those so-called 'evidences'?...Hmph, only that idiot Zhu Xisheng thought he could use a chicken feather as an arrow, and delusional to let Bengong and her suffer the disaster of prison together?" Concubine Wan Gui sneered Twice, "What a wishful thinking!"

"..."

Ming Tan lowered his face, staring at the confident woman in front of him, a murderous intent flashed across his eyes.

Why is this kind of person who does evil and evil, so arrogant, why does he think that he will not be punished?

Those countless concubines and babies who died, the ex-prince who was praised by the world... Concubine Wangui has harmed so many people, she deserves to be hacked into pieces!

However, it was precisely at the moment when Mingtan was most emotional that a hand was quietly stretched out beside her, gently interlocking her fingers.

The sudden temperature made Ming Tan startled slightly, subconsciously turned his head to look, and just fell into Lin Shurong's eyes that were as gentle as water.

"Your Highness," Lin Shurong said softly, "I'm just a sinner, I don't deserve your anger."

——Almost at this moment, Ming Tan regained his composure.

She nodded, smiled at Lin Shurong, turned her head to look at Concubine Wan, and said calmly: "Indeed, the concubine has always been the best at planning, and she must have planned for herself in recent years and at the beginning of her work." Okay, let's retreat?"

The words in these words are quite meaningful, and Concubine Wan could not help but frown, her eyes narrowed slightly, and just as a bad premonition filled her heart, she saw Ming Tan suddenly raised her head, and her originally calm expression seemed to be covered. Like a layer of frost and snow, he said completely coldly: "I just don't know, when you killed my big emperor brother in the south of the Yangtze River, did you have such a thoughtful heart?"

"—!"

Concubine Wan's figure froze, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "His Royal Highness died in an accident, what does it have to do with me? You don't want to spout blood!" "

"Whether it's related to you or not, the empress knows best." Ming Tan raised his hand, glanced at the other party's flawless expression from the corner of his eye, and didn't even bother to share half of his eyes with her, "This princess has already found many personal certificates in Jiangnan. , even the traitor Wang Minghui just admitted this matter, how do you want to quibble?"

"What?" Concubine Wan's eyes widened, she clenched her palms tightly, carefully scrutinized Mingtan's expression, and after realizing that she was not lying, she finally became panicked, "Hui'er, he... no, no, How did you know about this?!"

"—Because it was the son-in-law who informed Yu Jiuhuangmei, mother and concubine."

Before Ming Tan answered, a plain but familiar voice suddenly came from outside the hall, causing everyone in the hall to be stunned.In the end, there was a long silence, and Xinxue was the first to react, calling out: "Your Highness Fifth...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ming Yao wearing light armor, stepping into the threshold with downcast eyes, as if he didn't want to meet the eyes of Concubine Wan, and said in an inaudible voice: "Ming Yao, the unfilial son, has seen the concubine mother."

"...Yao, Yao'er? Why are you?" Concubine Wan was stunned for a moment, her face turned pale, frightened and angry, "You—why did you betray me!"

Her tone was stern and resentful, full of groundless resentment, how could she look like a mother at all?

Ming Tan at the side heard harshly, and seemed to want to say something; but was pulled by Lin Shurong, and looked at Ming Yao's indifferent expression like ashes, suppressed for a while, and finally closed his mouth indignantly.

In the final analysis, this is Brother Wuhuang's own family affairs, and she shouldn't intervene at will.This is disrespect for the former.

"...Mother and concubine's words are wrong. My son has never stood by your side, how can you say betrayal?"

After being silent for a long time, Ming Yao finally shook his head, and said lightly: "Many acts of unrighteousness will lead to self-death. Whether it was the murder of the former prince back then, or the rebellion with the emperor's brother now, there is no way to turn back. Big crime... Concubine mother, son and minister are married now, and they still have their own lives to live, so we can't go on wrong with you and the emperor—"

"So, you just turned around and surrendered to the enemy, and pushed your mother and brother into the fire pit without hesitation?" Concubine Wan Gui interrupted him violently, laughed twice, and pointed at Ming Yao with gritted teeth, "Okay, okay! Gong believes that he has treated you kindly for many years, provided you with food and clothing, but he never imagined that he would end up being betrayed by his own son..."

She closed her eyes, trembling with hatred, her eyes almost glowing scarlet, "So unfaithful, unfilial, fraternal and unrighteous—Ming Yao, you are in vain as a son of man! Even if you go to the underworld after death, you should be punished!" I will be punished to the [-]th level of hell, I will fall into the realm of animals, and I will never be reborn forever!"

"..."

Even after being so viciously cursed by his mother and concubine, Ming Yao didn't answer a word, but secretly clenched his fists, swallowing the sweetness that seemed to be absent in his throat.

Yes.

He thought bitterly: Isn't it unfilial and disrespectful to personally send his mother and brother to prison for his own future stability and prosperity?

Watching from the sidelines for a while, seeing Brother Wuhuang's forbearing and sad appearance, Ming Tan, who has the strongest temper, almost died of anger.

Conspiracy is clearly an unforgivable crime!If it wasn't for Ming Yao's sudden awakening and self-extraction, would he go all the way to the dark with you and lose his wealth and life before giving up?

He's not an idiot like Minghui!

The veins on her forehead were throbbing, and when she was about to scold the former without hesitation, there was another voice in the hall that no one expected, and said weakly but firmly——

"No! His Highness Fifth has acted uprightly. He has never bent the law for favoritism. He is also loyal and filial to His Majesty. On the contrary, His Highness Second and Your Majesty... are clearly the ones who are truly disloyal to the king and unrighteous to the country!"

The tone of these words was impassioned, not only Concubine Wan was stunned by the sudden scolding, even Lin Shurong looked in surprise.

I saw that the palace maid Xinxue, who was still supporting the former, had already thrown off Concubine Wan's arm at this time, and stepped back several steps, as if the anger that had been suppressed for a long time would finally burst out, and scolded: "Conspiracy to rebel! This is a crime that cannot be punished, but if it is placed on the common people, the nine clans should be wiped out! The empress and the second highness have done a certain wrong thing, so why not allow the fifth highness to abandon the dark and turn to the light, to protect himself and Prince Rui's residence?!"

"... New Snow!"

Concubine Wan hadn't fully reacted yet, she looked at her court lady not only with confusion, but also with the anger of being betrayed, "How dare you disobey me!"

"Your Majesty has always been indifferent to His Highness the Fifth Highness. After so many years, the servants have noticed it and tried to persuade him several times, but Your Majesty has never paid attention to it. She still only cares about the Second Highness."

Xinxue sneered, ignored her anger, turned around without hesitation, walked quickly to Ming Yao's side, helped the latter up, and said to her master in a disrespectful tone for the first time: "The servant is looking An outsider who grew up with His Highness the Fifth Highness can still have a half-hearted compassion; but as the biological mother of the two Highnesses, why can't the empress treat them equally, and never give alms to His Highness the Fifth Highness even a word of praise?"

"you you……"

"Your Majesty will end up where she is now. It has nothing to do with the Fifth Highness, the Ninth Princess, or even Your Majesty."

Xinxue took a deep breath, the arm supporting Ming Yao trembled slightly, and said word by word: "It's just that you are about to make a wrong step, and you will suffer the result yourself!"

——The voice of the big palace lady fell to the ground, as if hitting a wooden bell heavily, making Concubine Wan's mind suddenly empty, and the whole person felt at a loss.

The blame is self-inflicted, and everyone betrays their relatives...

Should she be reduced to such a point?

The always proud and dignified woman seemed to have suddenly lost three souls and seven souls. She held her forehead and couldn't stand still for a long time, which made Ming Yao, who was used to her superior posture, a little unbearable.

However, after seeing the hesitation of His Royal Highness Fifth Highness, Xinxue rarely hardened her heart, held his hand, shook her head firmly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, don't be confused!"

And in the same way, Ming Tan, who was watching quietly for a long time, didn't give him any more chances to tangle, and finally gave an order to let the guards enter to detain Concubine Wan, and said coldly: "Send the concubine to Ye Ting Prison quickly, and take care of her temporarily." ...After the father and mother return to the capital, we will discuss with the Ministry of Punishment and Zong Ling and make the final judgment!"

"Yes, princess."

The guards bowed their heads to take orders, restraining Concubine Wan to go out——however, the moment they passed by Ming Tan, Concubine Wan suddenly turned her face away, the corners of her lips twitched, and she turned to her. A strange and treacherous smile appeared.

"Ming Tan, oh Ming Tan... Do you think that after taking down Bengong and Hui'er, you will be able to win this battle for the position?"

Concubine Wan's gaze was full of malice, hiding a bit of madness that she had never exposed to others, she chuckled nervously and said: "The old saying is true: it is always easy to hide a bright spear, but it is always difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. You have to live well." Remember it!"

"……thanks for reminding."

Ming Tan turned his eyes sideways and glanced at the other party lightly.

"Since I was able to hide from you today, I will be able to guard against others in the future. I don't bother you, the imperial concubine..." After reading this title, she sneered, and said in a cool tone, "I'm worried about this princess."
