Reborn as King again

I asked people to untie the rope hanging Xia Jin, and Xia Jin fell into a pool of blood on the ground, panting slightly, she knew she would not live long, so she lay on the ground with her head slightly raised, looking ahead.

"Do you regret it?" I asked quietly.In fact, the person I really wanted to ask was not Xia Jin, I was thinking how wonderful it would be if the person lying on the ground was Jia Wanru.

Xia Jin just smiled wryly, but didn't answer.Her eyes are crystal clear, like a touch of clear spring, I can see that Xia Jin is different from other concubines in the palace, she is as light as a breeze, with a smell of sunshine.

Soon the guards brought three more Tibetan mastiffs over and guarded them not far from Xia Jin. The Tibetan mastiffs smelled the smell of blood and started hoarsely shouting, trying to break free from the chains and run towards the food.

Xia Jin watched the three Tibetan mastiffs open their mouths and stick out their tongues at such a close distance, with their sharp teeth and saliva dripping on the ground, she was so afraid that she trembled all over. She wanted to move her body, but she had no strength left.

"I'll ask you one last time, who is the adulterer?"

"Kill me!" Xia Jin was pale and powerless but still as firm as iron.

"Okay!" I'm too lazy to talk nonsense, even if she doesn't say anything, I will find other channels to find out: "Here..."

"No!!!" A sharp voice came from the crowd.

The onlookers were startled, who the hell is this?So desperate!Dare to intercept the emperor's words? !

A lake-green figure ran out from the crowd, that person was panting, as if he had just run over, upon closer inspection, this person was Xia Zhiyuan!

Xia Zhiyuan looked at Xia Jin lying in a pool of blood in disbelief, and immediately ran towards her. He bent down and held Xia Jin in his arms, his clothes were also stained with Xia Jin's blood.

Ever since Xia Zhirou was buried, I deliberately left Xia Zhiyuan in the cold, as if there was no such person in the palace. The Xia family also knew that this matter was their fault, so they had no choice but to give up Xia Zhiyuan. Now Xia Zhiyuan is the only one in the Xia family. Alone in the harem, nothing can happen, but he did not expect that he was related to Xia Jin's pregnancy.

Xia Zhiyuan has been deliberately neglected by me for so many years, now he seems to be less calculating when he first entered the palace, and more indifferent to his fate. The concubines from their Xia family did not end well, if he is smart, he shouldn't Come out and make trouble.

I said coldly: "Yuan Ronghua, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, let Sister Jin go, I beg you!" Xia Zhiyuan looked at me and said earnestly.

I can tell that Xia Zhiyuan is not acting, he really wants to save Xia Jin.

"Yuan'er, do you know what you're doing?!" the queen mother screamed.The empress mother is very afraid now, this messing up the court is a serious crime, maybe even the family will be questioned!Xia Zhiyuan is from the Xia family.

Xia Zhiyuan understood what the queen mother meant, but he couldn't ignore Xia Jin. He cried and said, "Queen mother, please let sister Jin go, sister Jin doesn't want to do this either, sister Jin was forced, you believe me!"

"Do you know who the adulterer is?" I asked.

"I know, I know!" Xia Zhiyuan nodded vigorously, he wanted to save Xia Jin, he couldn't let Xia Jin be tortured again: "That person is..."

"Ah Yuan! Don't say it!" Xia Jin grabbed Xia Zhiyuan's sleeve and begged, "Please..."

"You have been tortured like this, why are you still talking about other people?" Xia Zhiyuan ignored Xia Jin's pleading, and said directly to me: "That person is Jia Liang, the captain of the Imperial Forest Army, and he forced Sister Jin. He knew that Sister Jin was pregnant. Afterwards, he used Sister Jin's family as a threat to force Sister Jin to give birth to the child in the palace, Your Majesty, trust me!"

Things took a turn for the worse, the child actually belonged to Jia Liang? !

When the queen mother heard this, she was relieved, and it had nothing to do with the Xia family, but the queen mother thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and asked suspiciously: "Jia Liang, as an imperial army, does have a chance to step into the harem, but why does he have to?" Want Jincai to give birth to him? Doesn’t he know that having an affair with a concubine is a capital offense?”

"This... I don't know." Xia Zhiyuan also didn't understand Jia Liang's purpose, "But the person who handled it was Jia Liang, and I can be sure that I have seen Jia Liang appear in Sister Jin's yard several times. .”

Why did Jia Liang insist on Xia Jin giving birth to him?The reason is too simple, Jia Liang is a lustful person, there are no more than ten or eight concubines in his mansion, but he has never laid a single egg for him.I remember that in the previous life, Jia Liang was still childless when he was 40 years old. He specially found a doctor to have a look. He became even more dissolute, played with many women to death, and showed no mercy at all.

Jia Shisan is several now, and he doesn't have a single son. Now it's hard for someone to conceive one for him. No matter who is pregnant with his child, he will let that person give birth to him, so that he will have a descendant.Based on this analysis, what Xia Zhiyuan said is probably true.

I couldn't help sneering in my heart, Jia Liang is a popular candidate for the Imperial Forest Army. Recently, the Jia family formed a clique to allow him to take office. Just jumped out.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xia Zhiyuan didn't know if I still wanted to torture Xia Jin in my heart. He knelt down and kowtowed to me and said, "Your Majesty, please do me a favor. Please leave Sister Jin with a whole body. She has already been punished. I beg you You!"

This is the first time I saw Xia Zhiyuan pleading for someone without any purpose, even for his cousin Xia Zhirou back then, he was calculating, maybe in Xia Zhiyuan's heart, this person who has nothing to do with him Xia Jin was the only one whom he could treat sincerely.

I think Xia Jin is almost out of breath, so Xia Zhiyuan's wish will be fulfilled. I stood up and told the guards beside me: "Go and escort Jia Liang to the Hall of Taiye." Then, I said to the queen mother: " Empress, let's drive to the Taiye Hall as well, and go there to interrogate Jia Liang."

The queen mother knew that I wanted to let Xia Jin go and let her fend for herself, so she also stood up, and with my support, they drove to Taiye Hall together.

After our group left, Xia Zhiyuan was still kneeling beside Xia Jin. He witnessed Xia Jin's passing and could not be saved. He really felt that he was so useless, why couldn't he protect her well? Xia Jin raised his pale hand and gently Gently wiped away the tears that Xia Zhiyuan shed, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, you are a man."

"Sister Jin..." Xia Zhiyuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and burst into tears.

"Why do you have to stand up and wade through this muddy water?" Xia Jin said helplessly, "Now that you have told the truth, what should my family do?"

family?Xia Zhiyuan thought bitterly in his heart, Sister Jin, your family sold you into the palace to suffer, and you lived outside the palace to eat and drink, how can such a lucky thing happen? !Since you are going to die, of course you have to find someone to accompany you!Although he thought so in his heart, he sobbed and said: "It's okay, Sister Jin's family will be fine, now that Jia Liang can't protect himself, how can you control your family?"

Xia Jin who was comforted by Xia Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, yes, the family does not need to protect herself anymore, she looked at Xia Zhiyuan, this somewhat rebellious and clever younger brother, this child who was angry and hid in the remote forest crying, he has grown up , she said: "Ah Yuan, you have to take good care of yourself when I'm gone, and you can't push yourself in everything. The emperor interrogated Jia Liang, so don't get yourself involved, okay?"

"..." Xia Zhiyuan didn't speak, how could he let Jia Liang go?If it wasn't for him, how could Xia Jin be tortured like this!

"Ah Yuan..." How could Xia Jin not understand Xia Zhiyuan, she didn't want anything to happen to him: "Promise me, don't do stupid things, live a good life, please..."

"Alright." Xia Zhiyuan could only comfort Xia Jin first.

Xia Jin only felt that her vision became more and more blurred, and her body didn't feel any pain. She was finally relieved.

Xia Zhiyuan watched Xia Jin close his eyes helplessly, and his heart gradually became numb.Xia Jin is a special existence for him. When he is isolated, angry, and exiled by his family, the only person who helps him is Xia Jin. Xia Jin is a ray of his dark side. Sunshine, took him out of the gray life, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xia Jin is his salvation.If it weren't for the existence of Xia Jin, Xia Zhiyuan would have embarked on an extremely twisted path, but now it seems that Xia Zhiyuan just delayed the time to take that path.

In Taiye Hall, my mother and I sat on the dragon chair in the main hall.As for Zhou Ling, he just witnessed the whole process of Xia Jin’s execution. He has been in the palace for less than a year, and he can’t accept it at all. , let him go back to Fengyi Palace to rest first.

There were so many eunuchs watching the excitement in Taiye Court just now, the news that the adulterer might be Jia Liang soon reached Jia Wanru's ears, Jia Wanru almost passed out on the spot, she never dreamed that her own brother would do this kind of thing? !A promiscuous harem?Pregnant by adultery with a concubine, and still not allowed to abort the child?Jia Wanru immediately took people to the court, she didn't believe that Jia Liang would do such a thing, why didn't he discuss it with herself?Could it be that he was framed?Yes, he must have been framed!

No, not long after, Jia Wanru asked to see her, and the queen mother let her in. She is Jia Liang's younger sister, so maybe this matter has something to do with her.

After Jia Wanru finished her salute, I said, "Why, you rushed over after hearing the news?"

Jia Wanru saw that I was straight to the point, so she said straight away: "Your Majesty, is there a misunderstanding? Weichen's elder brother has always done his duty, so he may have been framed."

The empress mother's face darkened immediately when she heard that, saying that Jia Liang was framed is not the same as pointing the finger at their Xia family? !The queen mother said: "Concubine Wan, you are shirking responsibility. Ai Jia remembers that you strongly recommended your elder brother to join the Imperial Forest Army. Now something happened. Are you afraid of being punished so you deliberately shirk?"

Jia Wanru's complexion changed, and she also remembered that Jia Liang was a member of the Imperial Forest Army who only entered by blowing the pillow with me, so she quickly explained: "This is not the meaning of the concubine, if this is really the big brother of the concubine Why, why don’t the concubines in the palace know about it?”

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Fortunately, you didn't know about it, otherwise you would have drained the evil seeds in Xia Jin's stomach long ago, how can you allow her to be discovered when her stomach is so big!?"

Jia Wanru was silenced by the empress mother, but what the empress mother said was right, Jia Wanru was very smart, if she knew about this in advance, let alone having a child, even Xia Jin would be silenced.
