Chapter 1043 1044 [Talking to the Mountain Ghost]
Is this De Fei?
Many important ministers had met this concubine who was recognized as a "virtuous and kind lady". However, after the fourth prince Liu Zan committed the crime, she lived in seclusion in Jingning Palace and never appeared in public. Today's situation is special. If she
She still didn't show up, which naturally caused controversy between the government and the public. Furthermore, no one expected that she would suddenly go crazy at this time.
Although the burst of laughter was quite harsh, none of the important ministers standing on the platform had experienced many hardships and did not think that Concubine De's appearance would interfere with the ceremony of establishing the crown prince. Emperor Kaiping did not even need to be angry. Empress Chen said so.
You can ask the palace maid to take him down.
A few crazy words from a concubine who was executed for treason by the prince would obviously not cause much trouble.
Therefore, the situation remains stable.
They just lamented that the Concubine De's appearance seemed to be a completely different person, and the calmness and beauty of the past had disappeared. Even if she was deliberately dressed up, her sunken eyes and pale face still looked scary in broad daylight.
The most important rule in the palace, the moment De Concubine stood up, Empress Chen said softly: "De Concubine, what kind of occasion is this, how can you talk nonsense? Whatever you want to say, wait until you return to the palace to report it to Your Majesty
please."
As soon as she finished speaking, several graceful palace maids walked onto the platform and quickly approached Concubine De.
But Concubine De seemed to have eyes behind her. Before the palace maids came to her, she suddenly pulled out a sharp dagger from her wide sleeves.
Concubine De smiled miserably and said slowly: "Your Majesty is finally willing to listen to what I have to say?"
As these words spread from near to far, the restless hearts of the ministers calmed down, and the tense atmosphere near the Temple of Heaven miraculously eased.
Emperor Kaiping's eyes seemed to have flashbacks from the past, and he said calmly: "I never thought about forcing you to a dead end, because after all, I and you have some relationship as husband and wife. Since you have already determined to die, then I will
Listen to what you have to say, so that you won't die filled with hatred and resentment."
No one doubted that Concubine De, who had gone through the pain of losing her son, would do such a thing, but the important officials around her didn’t even understand why she was able to carry weapons into the Ancestral Temple!
At this moment, he subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man opposite.
Concubine De was able to bring a dagger to the Ancestral Temple. There was no doubt that there was something wrong within Luan Yiwei, and Taishitai Pavilion was also to blame.
Chen An was at a loss for what to do, because Concubine De's dagger could be cut off at any time. Once she committed suicide at the Crown Prince Ceremony, both the Tian family and the imperial court would become the biggest joke in the world.
Silent Cloud was obviously calmer than him, but his brows were also wrinkled, and his eyes were a little more doubtful.
Concubine De's eyes turned red, she turned to look at Liu Xian, and said slowly: "Your Majesty likes him and values him. I actually don't care at all, but Zan'er is obviously better than him. Why has your Majesty not seen him for so many years?"
Concubine De said quietly: "Your Majesty, if you don't want me to speak, I will not say a word, but will only congratulate His Highness the Crown Prince on the ceremony of establishing the crown prince with blood all over my body."
Several important ministers below shouted sharply at the same time, and the imperial guards immediately took action. Everyone in the harem screamed, and the eldest prince Liu Xian stood up and blocked Emperor Kaiping without even thinking. The situation became slightly chaotic.
Emperor Kaiping narrowed his eyes slightly, his face expressionless.
It was quiet all around.
Concubine De didn't seem to care that her actions failed to achieve results. She stared at Emperor Kaiping and asked, "Why?"
Emperor Kaiping put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "I gave Liu Zan a chance, but he didn't know how to cherish it."
Only at this moment did people see clearly that Concubine De was still standing there, not moving at all, and the dagger in her hand did not extend forward, but was placed across her neck, with the cold and sharp blade pressed against her throat.
On the altar of sacrifice to heaven, Concubine De calmed the others with her determination to die, and stared at Emperor Kaiping with deep hatred in her eyes.
Emperor Kaiping's expression remained as usual. He ignored the vague commotion around him and in the courtyard, and did not pay attention to the hatred in Concubine De's eyes. He looked indifferently at the crowd of people with different expressions below, paused for a moment on Shen Moyun, and then returned.
He glanced at the harem concubines and Tian family disciples in the distance, and finally looked at Concubine De and said, "What do you want to say?"
"Escort!"
Emperor Kaiping said lightly: "I'll give you a chance to speak, otherwise what if you commit suicide? Liu Xian is the prince I chose. If he doesn't even dare to see blood, what qualifications do he have to become the crown prince of Daliang? I know, even if I do
If I let you vent all the resentment in your heart, you will still commit suicide in front of me, but it doesn't matter, I will give you this opportunity."
Below the platform, Chen An, the deputy commander of Luan Yiwei, was sweating profusely. He was always calm and confused at the moment. He had been in Luan Yiwei for eight years and had investigated the internal personnel countless times, so he let him
Qi Hui, who joined Luan Yiwei thirteen years ago, was responsible for the affairs of Jingning Palace, but he never expected that he would cause big trouble at this time.
She looked around and said almost crazily: "Not only was Your Majesty present at that time, but the Queen, Concubine Wu, Liu Xian and Liu Yun were all present. Does it mean that His Majesty really thought he could hide it from everyone in the world? If Liu Xian's character is so corrupt, Your Majesty not only cannot
Pursuing the investigation will cover him up, but what about Zan'er? Your Majesty never sees his merits, and instead traps and kills him. He doesn't know how this story of the Heavenly Family will be written in the history of the future!"
Most of the courtiers in the distance just hated themselves for having a pair of ears.
Concubine De said with endless sadness: "Really? He is also His Majesty's son, why is Your Majesty so overly partial? Your Majesty has repeatedly praised Liu Xian these days, why didn't you tell me that after Liu Xian failed in his attempt to seize Qibao Pavilion, he secretly sent
The masters of the royal palace went to Lingzhou to assassinate Pei Yue? Your Majesty must have forgotten that before the Zhengdan Dynasty in the sixth year of Kaiping, you personally reprimanded Liu Xian for this matter!"
Concubine De smiled miserably again, and the sharp dagger had already scratched her skin, but she didn't care, and cried and shouted: "I never thought of forcing me to a dead end, after all, there is some love between husband and wife.
What Your Majesty said was really good, and I was really touched when I heard it, but I can’t understand, since Zan’er is also His Majesty’s son, why Your Majesty refuses to give him a way to survive?!”
At this time, Emperor Kaiping suddenly took action and pulled Liu Xian aside. He took two steps forward and looked at Concubine De not far away calmly and indifferently. He said in a deep voice: "Back off!"
Naturally, the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards did not dare to search the concubines in the harem, but given the strength of Emperor Kaiping's control over the palace, such a flaw was obviously of great significance. Not to mention Concubine De, who had been imprisoned in seclusion for a long time, and even Empress Chen and Concubine Wu
There are maids trained by Luan Yiwei around them. They know this very well, but they will not expose it. After all, these maids also shoulder the responsibility of protecting them.
Although his tone was calm, the hatred hidden in his words was so obvious that it made people feel chilly.
"stop!"
He did not notice Chen An's gaze, but looked at Wang Pingzhang's slightly rickety back in front of him.
However, Emperor Kaiping remained unmoved. He looked at the crazy Concubine De indifferently and asked, "How did you know about this?"
The wind was howling, and many people seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
Concubine De remained silent, but turned to look at the second prince Liu Yun on the other side.
A cold look appeared in Emperor Kaiping's eyes.
