Reborn as King again

On the morning of the second day, Wanfu helped me onto the emperor's chariot and drove to the Golden Luan Hall.Wanfu followed beside the imperial chariot, hesitant to speak along the way, as if he had something to say.

"Talk quickly if you have anything to say." I frowned, Wanfu rarely does this.

Wanfu was stunned for a moment, bowed quickly, and said as he walked: "The emperor's lesson, I've seen it through you, this slave has something on his mind."

"Tell me, do you want to ask me for something?" I asked while supporting the chair in the imperial chariot with one hand.

"Yes... yes... it's Little Luzi." Wan Fu hesitated and said: "Little Luzi...Little Luzi came to beg for a slave, saying that he wanted to go to Lenggong to accompany Concubine Wen..., this... this slave I can't be the master..." In fact, he can be the master. He is the chief supervisor of the harem, and dispatching anyone is a matter of waving his fingers. The staff died, and Concubine Wen stayed in the cold palace again. It was obvious that the emperor was angry, and he didn't dare to force his way.

"Is little green child dead?" I was a little puzzled.

"No, he happened to be out on errands at that time," Wanfu replied respectfully.According to his seniority, he can be regarded as half of Xiaoluzi's master. Xiaoluzi usually respects him a lot, so he should help as much as he can, "Your Majesty, look..."

"Then let him go." I couldn't bear to let He Wenliu stay alone in the cold palace. Although there are people serving in the cold palace, but because of He Wenliu's temper, I thought about it and ordered: "Let Xinyue go too, and take a good look at Concubine Wen."

"This..." Wanfu was also there that day, and he knew the situation very well. Xinyue's identity had already been exposed. "I'm afraid Concubine Wen won't accept Xinyue again. Do you think it's time to send someone else?"

"No, tell Xinyue that if she can't stay in the cold palace, then tell her not to come back to see me."

"Yes."

Xinyue has served He Wenliu for so many years, so she should be very aware of how soft-hearted He Wenliu is. As long as she pleads and admits her mistakes, He Wenliu will not let him go.

From outsiders' point of view, Deng Chengying was killed by me for framing He Wenliu. This is just to let the person who gave Deng Chengying the news relax. In fact, I just put him under house arrest. I still have a lot of things to ask him.

It was almost when the gossip about the favored concubine being demoted and executed was replaced by new rumors that I went to meet Deng Chengying in a very remote small hall in the palace. It was already three months later.

At this time, Deng Chengying was extremely thin, not at all as enchanting as he was when he was in full bloom. His eyes were dull and his hair was messy. Originally, he was killed with a stick, but for some reason, he was taken to a strange palace and locked up. When he got up, no one told him what happened, he didn't even know where he was, so he could only wait silently.

"Concubine Ying."

Deng Chengying finally heard someone talking, he raised his head and saw me, he couldn't believe it, he wanted to rush forward but was stopped by the eunuchs, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Tears welled up in Deng Chengying's bloodshot eyes, and he knew that he was still being missed and would not die so easily, "Your Majesty, my minister... I knew I was wrong, I shouldn't frame Concubine Wen, Your Majesty, I beg you to spare me, I have lost my mind because of Qi'er's death, Your Majesty..." Deng Chengying burst into tears, weeping unceasingly.

I am too lazy to listen to Deng Chengying's cries and explanations. If he is obedient, even if there is no Li Qi, I will let him enjoy a lifetime of glory, but it is a pity that he is too restless, causing trouble again and again, "I just want to know one thing , how did you know that Concubine Wen and Taifu Xia had correspondence?"

Hearing the tone of my question, Deng Chengying suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "You...you know?!"

"..."

Deng Chengying is not willing to accept this fact, he screamed: "You know, you know that Concubine Wen and Taifu Xia wrote privately?! Why?! Why?! You know I didn't lie, I didn't frame Concubine Wen, why did I do this? Do?!"

"I told you a long time ago, no matter what happens, I believe in Concubine Wen."

"But he lied! You know it but you want to cover it up?!" Deng Chengying knew it. He knew that he was no match for He Wenliu, so he only revealed it when he learned that He Wenliu had a private relationship with Xia Zhijie, because any man would not want him to Isn't it right to wear a cuckold, "Concubine Wen...he messes up the harem, no matter how much you like him, you will tolerate him?! Is he worth it for you!"

Is it worth it? I know in my heart that there is no need to explain so much to Deng Chengying, an outsider, about my bond with He Wenliu. "How do you know?" After a pause, he said coldly, "Don't try to lie to me, Or not to mention, I have many ways to torture people."

Deng Chengying immediately turned pale when he heard the words, he knew my methods very well, and there was no other way to go except to confess, "It is... a gardener in the imperial garden, he told me, told me that I saw a little eunuch sneaking around After contacting Taifu Xia, Sui also came into contact with Concubine Wen, and it just so happened that the gardener had a distant relative who worked in Taifu Xia's residence, and accidentally discovered the letter written by Concubine Wen to Taifu Xia."

"Concubine Ying, don't lie to me, do you believe what a gardener says?" Deng Chengying wasn't that stupid, and went to trouble He Wenliu without any confidence?

"Of course...of course not, although the gardener seemed to know that I hated Concubine Wen because of the pain of losing my son, so he told me about Concubine Wen and Taifu Xia, and wanted to get some rewards from me, but I asked someone I checked that gardener, that gardener has no grievances against me, and will not harm me, and I also found out that that gardener has a rival, who is the third-class maid of Fengyi Palace." Of course, Deng Chengying will get it first. Know the whole story of the matter, and consider whether you should do it or not.It was obvious that the empress wanted to use him to attack Concubine Wen. It is said that before he entered the palace, the Empress and Concubine Wen were at odds.Since he hated Concubine Wen to the core, he didn't care whether he was used as a weapon by the queen, he just wanted revenge.

"Do you think the empress is the chief envoy?" This result surprised me. I have suspected many people, including Jia Wanru, Liu Sha, and even Concubine Shu. After all, hitting He Wenliu and the He family treat them The family has great benefits, except for Zhou Ling!

According to my probing, Zhou Ling should belong to the Xia family, but if he does this, if I really pursue He Wenliu and Xia Zhijie, then their Xia family will be finished.Thinking about what happened to Jia Liang back then, the Jia family was jointly squeezed by the other three families for a long time. If it weren't for Jia Wanru and Prince Li Yi, the Jia family would not have been able to hold on.According to what Deng Chengying said, I think I have to overturn my previous conclusion. Is Zhou Ling standing in the united front with the Xia family, or does he regard the Xia family as an enemy at all? !

From Deng Chengying's appearance, it doesn't look like he will lie to me, so let me just trust him.Now that the goal was achieved and the questioning was over, I didn't stop, turned around and left, regardless of Deng Chengying's pleas, and just gave Wanfu a look before leaving, Wanfu understood.

Deng Chengying should have been killed with a cane, and it was already the limit to let him live for three more months.
