Drunk House Chapter 351

Chapter 351 Sky Prison (One more)

Su Rong sat in Yan Huisheng's carriage and went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment with him.

The precious concubine committed a serious crime. The emperor ordered her to die, and the minister of the Ministry of punishment used Xiang Shang's head as a guarantee. Therefore, if there is no order from the emperor, no fly can fly in the Ministry of punishment.

Prince Yan Huisheng naturally held the emperor's handbook, and when he came to the prison, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment greeted him personally.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice these days almost eats and lives in the Ministry of Justice, and dare not even go home, dare not leave a step. The last time someone died in the prison, the Criminal Department took the responsibility. Later, neither the Duke Huguo's Mansion nor the Rui'an Prince's Mansion trusted the Criminal Ministry, even the Dali Temple and the Yamen of the Beijing Government. The black gauze hat on the head of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is no longer secure. If he wants to continue to be an official, he has to go all out.

So, he rectified the Ministry of Punishment, pulled out the nails, and guarded the Ministry of Punishment himself.

Sure enough, his deeds have worked, precious concubine is alive and well, and she cannot die unless His Majesty tells her to die.

After reading the emperor's letter, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment handed it back to Yan Echo, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness please, Miss Su Qi please."

He led the way, accompanied by himself, and brought Yan Huisheng and Su Rong to the cell of Concubine Guizheng.

Even if the precious concubine is in prison, if she can be used in the prison, she is still the best, in line with her status as a noble concubine. The cell she lives in is also a first-class cell, it is not damp and cold, and there is a charcoal basin, it is extremely warm, no different from a female boudoir.

Seeing the person coming, Concubine Zhenxi raised her eyelids and took a look, her face was expressionless and indifferent.

Yan Huisheng stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the precious concubine, and said, "Father said that he will not see the imperial concubine in the future. Your case will be handed over to the solitary concubine for trial. Do you have any confession from the imperial concubine? If there is no confession, I will be convicted based on the evidence I have investigated."

If convicted, precious concubine committed such a major crime, and naturally it would be a death penalty.

Only then did Concubine Zhenxi have some expressions, and echoed to Yan: "I am pregnant."

Yan Echo paused.

Su Rong thought to himself, the eldest concubine is pregnant and pregnant with the emperor's heir, and precious concubine is also pregnant. Pregnancy is a life-saving talisman, and they are rushing to squeeze each other.

"So?" Yan Huisheng's face was calm, "Does the noble concubine want to tell the emperor alone? Exempt you from the death penalty? Let you raise your baby with peace of mind and give birth to the emperor's heir?"

Precious Concubine looked at him, "I am pregnant, shouldn't you inform His Majesty?"

Yan echoed and shook his head, "Father has already handed over the case of the imperial concubine to Gu, so whether to tell father or not depends on whether the imperial concubine is worthy or not. If the imperial concubine confesses to the person behind the scenes, Gu Nian can forgive the crime and report to father for the sake of the empress' conviction and the fact that she is pregnant with a dragon heir."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wishing that the child of this palace will not be born without His Majesty knowing?" Concubine Zhenxi asked.

Yan echoed and smiled, "The imperial concubine thinks too much. There are many lonely brothers, and this one is not bad for you. If the imperial concubine wants to use him to save her life, it depends on whether you cooperate or not."

"Are you threatening this palace?" Concubine Baozheng looked at Yan Echo.

"You can say that." Yan echoed and nodded.

Precious Concubine looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice behind Yan Huisheng, "Lord Li, I said that I am pregnant. Are you deaf?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment stood still, as if he didn't hear it, he really thought he was deaf.

Concubine Baogui looked at him and sneered, "Lord Li, a third-rank official in the court, is now relying on His Highness the Crown Prince? Does Your Majesty know?"

The minister of the Ministry of punishment did not speak, as if he had never heard of it.

As long as he is not a fool, he should understand that now the first prince has lost power, the second prince is not much better, the prince has gained power, and even His Majesty Precious Concubine has been handed over to the prince for interrogation. In this court, eight out of ten people have already moved closer to the prince. If he wants to continue to secure the position under his butt, he must naturally listen to the prince. The so-called one who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Precious Concubine turned to Su Rong again, "Su Rong, do you want to watch me die?"

Su Rong smiled, "Your concubine and empress are so forgetful. You have severed ties with my master, and you have nothing to do with me. Why can't I watch you die?" She changed her voice, "However, you don't have to die. You are the only one who can save you." After she finished speaking, she added, "If you are reluctant to bear the unborn child in your womb."

Precious concubine put her hands on her lower abdomen, "I have been infertile for ten years, do you know why?"

No one answered.

Precious concubine said to herself: "That's because I don't want to be pregnant."

Yan echoed softly: "The noble concubine was rescued by Zhang Ping. Even if you repay the kindness, ten years is enough. Because of your bedside wind, Zhang Ping has benefited a lot these years. He took the secret decree of the father, stationed troops and bought horses. The father thought that Zhang Ping was loyal to him, and the second brother thought that his father-in-law was to support him. As everyone knows, they are all wrong. General Zhang has his own ambitions. You only know that he saved your life, but you don't know that the grace you thought was saving your life was nothing more than his scheme. The person the imperial concubine likes, Zhang Ping's adviser, Duan Xiao, already has a group of wives and concubines. The two of them, taking advantage of the honor of the imperial concubine, one is ambitious, the other is rich and wealthy, but the imperial concubine, you are devoting all your energy to sitting in this prison, and no one comes to save you. Maybe they want you to die, are you sure you don't want to live?”

Precious Concubine's complexion finally changed, "I don't believe a single word of what you said."

Yan Huisheng took out a dossier from his sleeve and handed it to Concubine Gui, "If you don't believe me, Concubine Gui, please read it for yourself!"

Concubine Zhengui didn't want to pick it up, but by a strange coincidence, she reached out and took it.

The dossier that Yan Huisheng gave her was not thick, just a few pages, but it did record the facts verified by his subordinates in detail. The precious concubine was at such a young age that she fell in love with a poor and poor scholar. The two admired each other. Her father disagreed. The precious concubine did not hesitate to sever the relationship between father and daughter and wanted to marry that man. Later, she married. Ping agreed, but there was one condition, she was asked to repay her life-saving grace, and she participated in the draft that year.

In order to save her husband, Concubine Guizheng agreed with tears, but there was also one condition, saying that her husband had ambitions but was frustrated, and begged Zhang Ping to give her husband a chance. Zhang Ping also agreed.

Zhang Ping's eyes were on the beauty of the concubine, and the concubine did not live up to her beauty, and became the concubine who favored the sixth palace.

Things are easy to say, but Zhang Ping wasted a lot of energy when he planned it back then, and even single-handedly planned Concubine Gui into a trap.
