Chapter 609: The Emperor Orders Concubine Shu to Death
Concubine Shu's eyes were extremely cold. She turned around and slapped Chu Xiyan hard on the face: "Bitch!"
"If you dare to slander me again, I will kill you!"
The emperor said gloomily, "How insolent!"
"Shu Fei, in front of me, do you still want to kill the witness?!"
Concubine Shu had always thought that as long as there was no solid evidence to prove that Xiao Huazi was instigated by her, then with her powerful family background, this crime could not be pinned on her in the end.
But at this moment, Concubine Shu was really panicked!
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. How can you trust the words of a lowly maid?"
"Someone must have instigated her to slander me! Your Majesty, you must believe me..."
Nangong Xuanyu interrupted her impatiently: "Enough!"
"Xiao Huazi confessed that you were the one who instructed him to bribe the killers of Weiwu Hall. You said that the words of a lowly slave cannot be trusted. He acted on his own initiative."
"Now Xiyan confessed that you are the mastermind behind this, and you said that the words of a lowly maid cannot be trusted. Someone asked her to slander you."
"In this entire palace, I can only trust you?!"
"Shu Fei, in your eyes, I am just a fool?!"
When Concubine Shu raised her head, she met the emperor's eyes full of disgust.
She opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word...
Because there were both witnesses and evidence, Concubine Shu herself understood how weak and feeble her defense was at this moment.
How ridiculous...
Everyone knew how arrogant and domineering Concubine Shu was when she was the most favored concubine in the harem.
There were only a few concubines in the harem who had not been bullied by her, but they dared not speak out.
Now that the wall has fallen, everyone is pushing it down. There is an opportunity to completely overthrow Concubine Shu, so of course they will not let it go: "Madam Concubine Shu, it's already this time, what's the point of you continuing to be stubborn?"
"It's really pitiful for the virtuous concubine. She had no grudges against you in the past or today, but she almost died in your hands. Women's jealousy is so terrible..."
"If one day we offend the Concubine Shu, will she hire someone to kill us all?"
"Your Majesty has such a vicious concubine by his side. I am worried for your Majesty..."
"Although the assassins hired by Concubine Shu are going to kill Concubine Xian, swords have no eyes! Your Majesty is with Concubine Xian, isn't Concubine Shu worried that those assassins will accidentally hurt Your Majesty?"
"King regicide is a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan!"
"..."
Yes, they deliberately turned the crime committed by Concubine Shu into regicide from sending people to assassinate Concubine Xian!
In this case, even if Duke Dingguo came in person to plead for mercy, he would not be able to save Concubine Shu!
Maybe the Duke Dingguo's Mansion will be implicated by her because of this.
Seeing that the development of the situation was beyond her expectations, Concubine Shu had a gloomy face and her eyes were full of hostility!
When she was a royal concubine, these bitches dared not even breathe in front of her, but now, one by one, they have started to criticize her.
It's really like a tiger being bullied by a dog!
However, Concubine Shu also understood that at this point, she was really doomed...
There is no point in continuing to deny. No one else will believe it, and Your Majesty certainly won't believe it.
If she really did what these bitches wanted, and implicated the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion because of the crime of regicide, she would be the eternal sinner of the family...
Concubine Shu glared at Chu Xiyan fiercely, then looked up at the emperor and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, I am wrong, but I am also like this because I love you too much..."
"In the past, although there were many concubines in the harem, the one you cared about the most was only me. I was favored by you and thought I was the happiest woman in the world."
"But ever since Consort Xian entered the palace, your attention, your concern, and your preference have been gradually attracted to her..."
"I have lost my position as a noble concubine and my power in the six palaces, but these are not a big deal. But I really cannot accept that I have lost even your favor..."
"Love breeds jealousy. I did this because I love you too much... Please forgive me this time, Your Majesty, for my deep love for you..."
After all, Concubine Shu was the emperor's first love. In the past, seeing her with tears in her eyes and crying every word, the emperor would have been touched.
But now, there is no place for Shufei in his heart.
On the contrary, because of Concubine Shu, he almost lost Nian Nian...
Facing Concubine Shu's affectionate words, the emperor said with disgust: "You love me, so you are jealous of other concubines and want to hire someone to kill someone?"
"I can't bear this kind of love!"
Concubine Shu wanted to say something, but the emperor was too lazy to listen and said in disgust: "Come here, pass on my decree. Concubine Shu is so cruel and cruel that she has killed concubines. I cannot tolerate such a vicious woman by my side. From now on, she will be demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace..."
Having said that, Nangong Xuanyu paused and subconsciously looked at Shen Zhinian.
She lowered her eyes and frowned slightly, as if she was enduring the pain of the wound.
The emperor never thought of taking Concubine Shu's life.
No matter what mistakes she made.
Even when he wanted to get rid of Duke Dingguo's Mansion the most, he also wanted the girl in the green dress who had fallen in love with him at first sight to live well.
But... every time Nangong Xuanyu closed his eyes, he would think of the night of the Lantern Festival, when Nian Nian was covered in blood and ran out of the alley in panic.
This time, Nian Nian was blessed by God and was only injured, but her life was not in danger.
What about next time?
He couldn't afford the consequences of losing Nian Nian.
He has said more than once that he will give Nian Nian an explanation for this matter.
The moment it was confirmed that the person who hired the murderer was Concubine Shu, all the uniqueness of her in the emperor's heart was shattered without a trace left.
Nangong Xuanyu closed his eyes and no longer looked at Concubine Shu, but he finally uttered those two words: "...Death!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!
Concubine Shu collapsed on the ground and suddenly looked up at Nangong Xuanyu, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief!
She had always thought that with her family background, the fact that she gave birth to a princess, and raised a prince, even if the truth came out, the most His Majesty would punish her with would be a demotion.
At worst, I’ll just have to impose a longer period of confinement.
She had been demoted from a noble concubine to the fourth concubine. Was she still afraid of being demoted to an ordinary concubine?
Concubine Shu could never have imagined that His Majesty would protect Concubine Xian so much that he wanted to demote her to a commoner and send her to the cold palace!
What's more, I never thought that His Majesty would be so cruel as to sentence her to death? !
Your Majesty has never thought about what to do when Yun'er lost her mother at such a young age? !
At this moment, Concubine Shu's peach blossom eyes were filled with tears. She was so shocked that she even forgot to beg for mercy...
It was not just her, everyone else was just as shocked as Concubine Shu.
