Chapter 244: Death is imminent without repentance
Mrs. Zhou collapsed to the ground when she heard the words, begging bitterly: "Your Majesty, Sisi is your daughter-in-law, she was killed by mistake because of her madness, please forgive Sisi's life, my concubine is willing to take her life. Change your life!"
Seeing that the emperor was ignoring, Madam Zhou lay down in front of Lu Chen and said, "Your Highness, it took Sisi's life to save you so much that you have been foolish for so many years..."
Lu Chen frowned and said, "You don't need to talk about things from your childhood anymore. There was someone else who really saved Gu, but because of her inconvenience to reveal her identity, even if you saved Gu's life, can you kill at will? ?"
Zhou Sisi looked at Lu Chen, seeing her mother so humble, she was extremely sad: "Cousin, for a Tong Yingying, do you want my life?"
"You hate me so much? Don't you even want to let me die? If it was so early, why did you treat me so well when you were young?"
Zhou Sisi gave Lu Chen the wood carving in his hand, "You still remember me, when I was a child, I was stupid and no one wanted to play. You carve these little wooden figures for me, and coax me that the little wooden figures will play with me, Why are you so ruthless to me when you are older?"
Qiao Jinniang said softly, "When I was a child, Lu Chen didn't play with you, but found a wood carving to play with you..."
"Besides, how many years ago, you have been living in the past, aren't you tired?"
The wooden sculpture in Zhou Sisi's hand fell to the ground, and looked at Qiao Jinniang fiercely, "It's you, it's all you, if you didn't show up, my cousin wouldn't treat me like this."
Lu Chen protected Qiao Jinniang and said, "Sisi, you and I are brothers and sisters, how could a brother marry a sister? Besides, the Zhou family has never wanted their daughter to enter the palace, even without Jinniang, you would never be able to enter the palace. of!"
"Besides, saying this is not the reason why you killed Tong Yingying in public!"
Zhou Sisi said with a sneer: "It turns out that I'm really worse than Tong Yingying...
Why can't I kill her, if she hadn't been telling the crazy, stupid me to let her enter the palace, my obsession wouldn't be so deep!
In order for her to enter the palace, it has always been my idea to fight, she should be damned, I just can't imagine that Your Majesty would ignore your father-son relationship with King Huai at all. "
The dignified princess, killing a commoner, if Your Majesty does not pursue it, just cover it up at will.
But Lu Chen and Emperor Huilin were unwilling to let her go.
Qiao Jinniang said: "Zhou Sisi, who is heartless? Tong Yingying wants to use you, but aren't you willing to be used by her?
Wu Guogong's mansion would not be today without the queen, but you hurt the mother's heart for the sake of your children's personal love, but you come to blame the mother's unfeeling.
Even though he has already returned to normal, he is pretending to be crazy and wanting to enter the East Palace and make your parents worry about you!
What you've done is simply disgusting!
Up to now, you are still blaming others, and you still don't know how to repent when the death penalty is imminent. It is also a bargain for you to pay for your life. "
Lu Chen instructed the guards on the side to quickly pull the mother and daughter down.
Emperor Huilin asked Qiao Jinniang and said, "The person who falsely accused you has been found. The thief you called to catch the thief was Mrs. Zhou who killed Qiao Ruoyun?"
Qiao Jinniang said: "No, but Mrs. Zhou should know the murderer, so Erchen will order someone to go to the Qin Mansion to say that Mrs. Zhou has been arrested and the Ministry of Punishment is tortured to extract the murderer, so the murderer will not be able to sit still.
What's more, the dignified Duke of Wu's mansion said that if he was deprived of his title, he would be stripped of his title. The murderer in the Duke's mansion of Qin would never feel at ease with the position of a lord, and would definitely try to order someone to block Mrs. Zhou's mouth. "
In fact, what Qiao Jinniang had always suspected was Qin Shu.
However, Qin Shu's lifeless appearance today is indescribable and haggard. If she identifies the murderer as Qin Shu, everyone will think she is slandering her...
Emperor Huilin said to Lu Chen, "After all, the Duke of Qin's residence belongs to the lord's family. If it is found out that the murderer is not from the Qin residence, then the Crown Princess and the Qiao family cannot be forgiven lightly."
Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Royal Father."
Emperor Huilin said to several censors: "Wait a minute, if the murderer is not in the Qin family, I will definitely decide for the Qin family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
How dare the several censors dare to say anything.
The Duke of Wu's mansion said that if he took the title, he took the title. This is true of the Duke of Wu's mansion. The nephew of the prince, who was already a sure thing, had to betray the prince for his daughter, and he ended up like this.
...
Inside the Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Shihui just received the letter from her mother, smiled slightly, and her mother was finally willing to help her.
Just before he was happy for a long time, an imperial decree came down and took away the title of Duke Wu's mansion.
The headed old lady Zhou was almost unable to get up in one breath. Zhou Siming supported the old lady Zhou again and again and ordered a doctor to come over.
Zhou Siming frowned. He and Lu Chen grew up together, but after returning from the disappearance, he couldn't understand Lu Chen more and more.
He actually does not care about affection at all, not even the affection of Mrs. Zhou!
"Mother!" A beautifully dressed woman walked into the door and supported the old lady Zhou.
Zhou Siming looked at the woman with very similar eyebrows and eyes, but felt that she should not be the queen. The queen seemed more dignified and younger than her.
Zhou Shihui saw the woman and shouted, "Mother, you finally came to see me. My daughter suffered a lot of grievances and was put in prison..."
The woman saw the fainting old lady Zhou, heard the contents of the imperial decree, and frowned, "My sister has been the queen for twenty years, I am afraid she has forgotten, who helped her to take this position back then. !"
Zhou Siming said, "Are you the eldest aunt?"
"Si Ming has grown up so much, don't worry, the title of Duke Wu's mansion has been taken away, and I can still get it back!"
Zhou Siming pursed his lips and said, "Eldest aunt, the title of the duke's manor doesn't matter. What matters is that Sisi was sentenced to be executed after the autumn. I wonder if my aunt can rescue Sisi?"
Zhou Sisi was executed at such a young age, and Zhou Siming said that he wanted to save his sister.
"Don't worry, I will save her. The top priority is to heal my mother first."
...
In the Queen Mother's Palace.
The queen mother heard the news from Li Lingling, and laughed several times, "The Zhou family has finally been deprived of the title, mother and son are mother and son, it seems that the emperor still has my mother in his eyes."
Li Lingling was embarrassed to tell the Empress Dowager that the reason why His Majesty took the title of Duke Wu's mansion seems to be that Duke Wu's mansion betrayed the prince and chose King Huai, and was still fighting for power for King Huai in the court.
"Emperor grandmother, now Concubine Qin is pregnant. Although Zhou Sisi was sentenced to death, there is still no place for me in the palace!"
The queen mother said to Li Lingling: "Just be patient, King Huai has no support from the Duke of Wu, and the power of the Duke of Qin must not be lost."
Li Lingling pursed her lips and said, "Also, King Huai doted on that adopted son as soon as he came back. At first glance, it was his biological son, and I don't know which idiot was born."
The queen mother said: "Concubine Qin is pregnant, you are raising that adopted son in the room, afraid that Concubine Qin will fail? You are the main house.
Just relax, the emperor still thinks about my mother in his heart, presumably the good days of the queen and the prince are not long, and the throne of the prince and the queen will be yours after all. "
