Chapter 274: The Miao Border Gu Woman Who Was Exterminated (7)
Therefore, after sorting out everything, Lord Pei submitted a memorial directly to the emperor of that day, in which he wrote down all the details of his investigation results!
"What! How could such a thing happen? Call the relevant people to see me! I want to interrogate them personally!" The emperor was furious.
Then, Prince Xuan Li Che, who was having fun with several slaves, was brought into the palace with a confused look on his face!
Now he is dominated by Yu Wang and is no longer interested in other things.
At this moment, he was thin and his eyes were dark.
He looked like he was seriously ill!
"Old Fifth, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you have become like this?" The old emperor was shocked.
In the past, Su Li would come to the palace from time to time, with a handsome and heroic appearance. He was completely different from the way he looked today.
"Father, we haven't seen each other for almost a year!"
Li Che said listlessly, "Father asked someone to bring me here. Is there something wrong?"
The old emperor just thought he was talking nonsense, and no longer bothered about how long they hadn't seen each other. He patted Long's case and said, "Old Fifth, let me ask you, did you instigate someone to lure the second son of the Pei family into a gambling debt? Did you hint to the eldest son of the Pei family to go to Qingfeng Village to suppress the bandits?"
Li Che was confused, "Father, what are you talking about?"
"Your Highness Prince Xuan, what hatred does my Pei family have against you? What grudge do we have? You are willing to wipe out my Pei family just to get the military power in my hands! Give me back the lives of my entire family!" Seeing that he looked confused, old Marquis Pei became furious.
"Me? To exterminate your entire family just for your military power?"
Li Che was dumbfounded, "Why would I do such a thing? I can't even win you over yet!"
"Humph, Your Highness Prince Xuan doesn't admit it, right? Fortunately, I have found witnesses and evidence!"
The old marquis brought up the manager and thugs of the gambling house, as well as the purse embroidered by the embroiderer of Prince Xuan's Mansion, which Su Li had specially given to the manager.
Everyone said with certainty that it was His Royal Highness Prince Xuan who instructed them to lure the Pei family boss into owing a large gambling debt.
The head of the Pei family was also brought out from the prison.
He said that when he went to Prince Xuan's mansion to borrow money, it was Prince Xuan who hinted to him to go to Qingfeng Village to suppress the bandits, and he also said it was His Majesty's intention!
"Father, I am innocent! I have never done these things!" After hearing the accusations of these people, Li Che immediately shouted that he was innocent.
"So many people have pointed out you, and you still refuse to admit it!" the old emperor snorted coldly.
He was so disappointed with his son!
He had agreed to let the fifth brother marry the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenyuan because he thought that he would give him the throne in the future and there would be people to support him!
He was so good! After marrying his wife, he first attacked his father-in-law's family, just to seize their military power!
"Father, my son and I have been wronged!"
Seeing the coldness in the old emperor's eyes, Li Che knew that he was angry, and hurriedly said, "My son was murdered by someone and has been away from the capital for nearly a year. How could he frame them!"
"Nonsense! You came to hang around in front of me a few days ago. You haven't been in the capital for nearly a year. What nonsense are you talking about!" The old emperor flicked his sleeves.
"I..." Li Che was speechless.
Should he tell everyone that he was abandoned in Xianggong Mansion?
Do you want to speak out about how you were abused?
This would be a royal scandal if it were made public, and in order to cover up the shame, one cannot escape death!
If he admitted the crime, he might be able to escape death!
After weighing the pros and cons again and again, Li Che finally admitted his guilt, "I am a fool, please punish me, father!"
"Hmph!" The old emperor snorted coldly, looked at Old Marquis Pei, and was about to speak.
At this time, the old emperor's chief eunuch came to report, "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace gate who claims to be the abbess of Cijing Temple and is beating a drum to appeal for justice, requesting to see Your Majesty!"
"The abbess of Cijing Temple?" The old emperor frowned.
The Cijing Temple is quite famous in the capital. I heard that the abbot is a miracle doctor who has saved many people in the capital!
"Bring it with you!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the abbess of Cijing Temple came, bringing with her the assassin that Su Li had captured who came to assassinate them!
"Abbot, what injustice have you suffered that you are beating the drum to appeal for justice?" the old emperor asked the abbot, who had a calm temperament.
"Your Majesty, I have come here to sue Princess Xuan!" The abbess of Cijing Temple said softly with her palms clasped together.
"Princess Xuan? What's wrong with Princess Xuan?" The old emperor frowned, looked at the fifth son Li Che who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the old Marquis Pei and his son.
"Your Majesty, the current Xuan Wang Consort is not the real Xuan Wang Consort! The real Xuan Wang Consort has been killed by the fake one!"
The abbess of Cijing Temple told Ah Yan what happened when she saw the two people arguing, and how she sent people to exterminate the Miao tribe.
"Later, the rejuvenating Gu in the fake princess' body disappeared for some reason, and she returned to her original appearance. She then came to my Cijing Temple... After I came back, she asked me to make a human skin mask for her! However, she actually wanted to destroy my Cijing Temple and kill people to silence them! Your Majesty, please help us!" said the abbess earnestly.
"What? How could such a thing happen? Someone, bring the person pretending to be Princess Xuan into the palace, and then investigate the matter in Miaojiang!" The old emperor was furious.
I never expected that such a genocide would happen during his reign!
"Your Majesty, a year ago we received news that the Miao tribe was annihilated. At the time, I thought it was just an internal fight among the barbarians and didn't take it seriously!" the chief eunuch said immediately.
"Really? Then bring that fake in!" the old emperor said angrily.
Soon, Pei Yueshuang was brought into the palace!
When she saw the abbess of Cijing Temple, she instantly understood what had happened!
"Your Majesty, this potion can remove the human skin mask on her face!" The abbot took out a bottle of potion from his sleeve.
The chief eunuch then had someone hold Pei Yueshuang down and planned to take action himself.
"No, no! Prince, save me! Prince!" Pei Yueshuang struggled.
Lord Pei and the eldest son of the Pei family standing by were shocked and angry. Their legitimate daughter who married into the palace had actually been killed by a concubine's daughter?
Li Che looked at the ground without raising his eyelids, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Not long after, the human skin on Pei Yueshuang's face was removed, revealing her true appearance.
"I did nothing wrong! I was the one who saved the prince. Why can Pei Yuehua, relying on her status as a legitimate daughter, take away my credit and my marriage? I don't accept it!" Pei Yueshuang said righteously.
"If you are dissatisfied, you can go to your father, your grandfather, or even me for help! But you shouldn't kill her and then impersonate her, and kill all the people who helped you!"
The old emperor said angrily, "Her Miao clan has never harmed anyone in this dynasty. Why did you do such a cruel thing?"
Then he pointed at the abbess of Cijing Nunnery and said, "And the abbess, they made a mask for you despite your pleading. What have they done wrong? You must kill them all!"
Pei Yueshuang collapsed to the ground with a pale face, unable to speak anymore.
Afterwards, she was tortured to death by the old emperor!
Execution on Miao territory!
In front of the tomb of the Miao people, pieces of flesh and blood are used to commemorate the innocent people who died!
Prince Xuan was also demoted to a commoner and exiled to the frontier, never to return to Beijing!
Su Li also left this world contentedly. Of course, before leaving, she took away a lot of delicacies from this world.
