A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 595: Killing the whole family
Princess Yongjia dared not admit that the late queen was the emperor's Achilles' heel. If she admitted this, she would have no way out.
"My dear brother, I have a clear understanding. I did not do such a thing. This is a frame-up by Su Yuanzhou."
Su Yuanzhou gave her a mocking look, and she was still being stubborn even when facing death.
He spoke loudly, "Your Majesty, I have witnesses."
When Emperor Xuande heard that there was a witness, he asked Su Yuanzhou to come to the palace to present the witness.
Not long after, Zhang Tianshi walked in tremblingly.
He had been cheating for many years and survived until today by being cautious. He thought that everything would be fine if he hid in the Li family this time. He never expected that the incident would directly reach the palace.
Anyone picked out at random in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today is an important figure in the capital.
Not to mention that there was an emperor sitting in the hall.
Zhang Tianshi thought that he had brought honor to his family and revitalized his school.
After kneeling down and kowtowing, Su Yuanzhou asked, "Master Zhang, in front of the emperor and all the gentlemen, can you tell me what happened?"
Although Zhang Tianshi was nervous and spoke haltingly, he finally made himself understood.
He described in detail how Princess Yongjia came to him and how she asked him to cast a spell on the Buddha's body.
At this moment, Zhang Tianshi also guessed that the identity of the Buddha body must be extraordinary.
He then explained: "Your Majesty, I am just a liar."
"Her Highness the Princess has instructed me to make sure that Buddha's body will never be reincarnated and will be haunted by evil spirits."
"I have agreed, but I cannot do it. I have lied to Her Royal Highness the Princess. I really don't have that much ability."
Princess Yongjia was shocked and angry when she heard him say that. She took the risk to do this, but in the end, not only did her efforts go to waste, but she also angered the emperor.
Emperor Xuande was so angry that he couldn't speak. "Yongjia, you deserve to die. Your sister-in-law treated you well when she was alive. How could you do such a thing?"
Princess Yongjia knew that the emperor would not let her go. Even if the emperor showed some leniency, the Song and Shen families would not spare her.
Princess Yongjia, who had lost hope of survival, suddenly looked up at Emperor Xuande with a smile on her lips.
"Being nice to me? Song Zining has always liked that bitch Yongning, not me."
"I just don't understand, how am I worse than Yongning? Brother, you treat her better than me, and King Zhan treats her better than me."
"When my brother and his wife got married, I also wanted to have a good relationship with her. But when she saw Yongning, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. I also heard her privately remind Yongning that I was narrow-minded and asked him to be careful when interacting with me."
At this point, Princess Yongjia snorted coldly, "I just want her to have no peace even after death. What a pity, this stinky Taoist priest is useless."
Emperor Xuande was so angry that his body swayed slightly and he felt dizzy.
"How dare you curse Yongning like that, and even say you didn't kill him?"
Princess Yongjia laughed loudly and said, "I killed him. I killed Yongning with my own hands. So what?"
"And the King of Zhan is back in Beijing. My brother, you don't really think that the King of Zhan is being filial, do you?"
"Actually, he..."
As soon as Princess Yongjia said this, she heard Concubine Xian scold her sternly, "Princess, are you trying to poke the emperor's heart? Princess Yongning and the late queen are the people the emperor cares about the most. You are putting the people he cares about the most to death. Have you ever thought about how good your brother is to you?"
The one who spoke, Concubine Xian glanced at Li Chaoyun.
He added: "Even if the princess doesn't want to live anymore, she should also think about Chaoyun. Chaoyun is innocent. If you admit your mistake to the emperor, you may be able to save Chaoyun's life."
"Why do you have to hurt the emperor's heart at this time?"
Princess Yongjia swallowed back the words she hadn't said yet. She knew that Concubine Xian was threatening her with her daughter's life.
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but she didn't care and ended up harming her daughter.
Emperor Xuande narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you want to say? Prince Zhan returned to the capital not because of filial piety, then what was the reason?"
Princess Yongjia was moved and said, "How is Concubine Yu doing in the palace? Does the emperor really think that Prince Zhan doesn't know?"
"After receiving my letter, he led his army to the capital. On the surface, it was to fulfill his filial duty. But in fact, it was to show his rebelliousness."
"Royal brother, among us brothers and sisters, there is no one who is purely kind. I may be vicious, but others are no better than me."
Having said this, Princess Yongjia suddenly straightened her back, prostrated herself on the ground respectfully, and kowtowed to the emperor.
"I have done wrong, I admit it. I have only one request, I beg you, my brother, to spare Chaoyun's life for the sake of our blood relationship."
Li Chaoyun, who was standing aside, stared blankly at the white jade floor tiles in front of her. Her mother begged the emperor to spare her life, but even if she could really escape death, would she only be filled with humiliation for the rest of her life?
Emperor Xuande listened to Princess Yongjia's request and thought it was ridiculous. At this time, she knew how to cherish her daughter.
But he just didn't want to do as she wished.
After a moment's silence, Emperor Xuande announced the decree, "Yongjia, for his own selfish interests, murdered the royal family members. He is removed from the royal family tree and demoted to a commoner."
"Li Jingchuan used all means to gain military merit. The Li family is guilty of an unforgivable crime and the entire family must be executed."
"Yongjia, Li Jingchuan, Li Chaoyun, Lingchi death, the rest of the people beheaded on the execution ground."
Princess Yongjia fell to the ground in despair, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Brother, please spare Chaoyun."
Although he was pleading with the Emperor, his eyes were on Concubine Xian.
Xianfei's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stood up and knelt at the emperor's feet, "Your Majesty, I watched Chaoyun grow up and always treated her as my own daughter. Today, I risk my life to beg Your Majesty, can you spare Chaoyun's life?"
Before the virtuous concubine knelt down, she deliberately gave the prince a wink.
At this time, the prince was very surprised and didn't understand why his mother was so obsessed with helping the Li family.
It was the same when he went to the farm outside the city to test Shen Zhixiu that day. He didn't want to get involved in that muddy water, but his mother insisted that he go.
Although he was puzzled, the prince still did as Concubine Xian wanted.
He knelt on the ground and said, "Father, the Royal Aunt is guilty, but Cousin Chaoyun is innocent. I beg Father to show some leniency and spare her life."
Su Qingyu looked puzzled. There was nothing more they could do with the Li family, so why were Concubine Xian and the Crown Prince still begging for mercy and to save Li Chaoyun's life?
She didn't believe that Concubine Xian was so affectionate and wanted to preserve the bloodline of the Li family.
Emperor Xuande said angrily: "The imperial decree has been issued. If you are not satisfied, go with the Li family."
Although Concubine Xian was frightened, she could only try her best to deal with the situation.
She calmly winked at Concubine Chen Jiang Ziyan, indicating that she should ask the Emperor for mercy.
Jiang Ziyan certainly didn't want to speak, but she didn't dare to disobey Concubine Xian too much.
Although she was favored in the palace, she had no children and no power of her own. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she still had to rely on the protection of the virtuous concubine.
So after weighing the pros and cons, she stood up and knelt in front of Emperor Xuande.
"Your Majesty, I and Chao Yun hit it off right away and have a deep bond."
"I have never asked your Majesty for anything. Today I only ask your Majesty to spare her life."
