Chapter 253 The Death of Concubine Ye
King Jing looked deeply at his son kneeling on the ground and was silent for a while before asking, "Why did you come to me to plead guilty?"
Liu Xu replied calmly, "Two months ago, the son's concubine who was designed to make people miscarry, and the crime is unforgivable. Now that the incident has happened, I'm here to plead guilty."
King Jing narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, but his eyes did not look angry, and the expression on his face did not change at all, making people unable to see how he was feeling. He just stared at his favorite son on the ground without saying a word.
In the huge hall, it suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it could be heard. Several subordinates standing on both sides bowed their heads and shrank their shoulders, all pretending that they did not have long ears, eyes and mouths at this moment, and did not dare to show any curiosity. They even want to shrink themselves into the hole. The more you know about such secrets, the faster you will die. But the prince didn't sign, and they didn't dare to quit at will.
This strange silence lasted for a long time, and the teenager kneeling on the ground finally couldn't stand this psychological torture. He slowly raised his head and looked at King Jing with some panic in his eyes. After seeing King Jing's unchanging look and eyes, the teenager Liu Xu couldn't help but be stunned and shouted, "Father..."
"Is it your mother who asked you to come to me?"
Liu Xu shook his head: "No. It's the son himself..."
"That's what Liu Xi asked you to come." King Jing's eyes were as deep as ink, as if he had seen through him.
Liu Xuqiang suppressed his nervousness and shook his head calmly again: "Father, this matter has nothing to do with the second brother and mother..."
King Jing waved his hand to interrupt him and closed his eyes: "You go back first."
Liu Xu was stunned, with a confused expression on his face. He has always known in his heart that even if his father has always loved him, there is no reason to forgive such a serious crime. Of course, he didn't send someone to do the abortion of the princess. It's just that the second brother said that if no one took care of this matter for his mother, his mother would not be able to live. The second brother will compete with the son for the throne in the future. And he has never been that enterprising. He just wants to be a rich and idle person. Therefore, it is natural for him to do the crime for his mother.
Even if you will suffer after this crime, the most important thing is to keep your mother. Besides, after a few years, when the second brother inherited the title, can't he still live the same happy life as now? It was because he figured this out that he came to his father so calmly to plead guilty.
But now my father doesn't seem to intend to punish him. What's going on? Liu Xu was puzzled and couldn't figure out why King Jing let him go so calmly. At this time, shouldn't he hit his 20 boards?
"Father..." Liu Xu dared not really leave here. He didn't believe that King Jing would let him go so easily. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was scared by the sudden staring eyes of King Jing.
King Jing angrily stared at his simple son in front of him, and his eyes were full of anger. He didn't want to believe that his favorite son would be a fool at all. He brushed his sleeves, walked to Liu Xu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said coldly, "Get out."
Liu Xu didn't dare to say more words and honestly kowtowed and left.
Out of Jing Ruitang, Liu Xu did not dare to delay at all and ran directly to find his brother Liu Xi. Liu Xi listened to King Jing's reaction, and his face changed repeatedly. He looked at Liu Xu and asked, "Didn't your father really say what to do with you?"
Liu Xu's face was puzzled and shook his head and said, "No. He asked me to come back without saying anything. I wanted to ask him, but he kicked me out.
"Then when you come out, your father..."
"My father seems to be very angry." Liu Xu answered in a low voice. After saying that, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he took Liu Xi's arm and said in a trembling voice, "Second brother, do you think your father will..."
Liu Xi's face also changed. He pulled Liu Xu up and ran out: "Go! Let's go and see your mother first."
When Liu Xi and Liu Xu came to Dongyuan, they did not see Ye Side Concubine. After looking for a subordinate to ask, he knew that Ye's side concubine had been called by King Jing. Since the case of the Ye family, King Jing has never entered the yard of Concubine Ye. Occasionally, when he wants to see her because of the affairs of the royal palace, he is also summoned.
The two did not hesitate, so they turned their heads and ran to Jing Ruitang. About to arrive at the gate of Jingrui Hall, Liu Xi's footsteps stopped and fell behind. Although the miscarriage of the imperial concubine was made by the hands of the imperial concubine Ye. But he knew about it from beginning to end. Even, Ye Side Concubine had already handed over all the dark lines in her hand to him. If this step is stepped in, will there be no chance to turn over again?
Liu Xu didn't understand Liu Xi's thoughts. Seeing that he suddenly stopped, he couldn't help asking anxiously, "What's wrong, second brother? Hurry up, if it's too late, my mother may..."
Liu Xi looked at Liu Xu's eyes full of worry and panic, and her heart was fierce and followed his footsteps. He knew that his father had never liked his gloomy personality, so his love for him was far less than Liu Xu. If he doesn't go in with Liu Xu this time, he will lose his filial piety. After that, he was in his father's heart, and I'm afraid there was no place.
The two ignored the obstruction of the servants and rushed all the way to Jingrui Hall. Entering the door, they saw Concubine Ye kneeling in front of King Jing, as if to plead guilty again. The two quickly rushed to Ye Sidefei and knelt on the ground.
"Father, the abortion of the imperial concubine is done by the son, which has nothing to do with the mother! Ask your father to forgive your mother..." Liu Xu held Concubine Ye's arm tightly and asked King Jing for mercy.
Liu Xi couldn't wait to slap Liu Xu when she heard this. They haven't figured out what's going on now, and they don't know what King Jing will say to the side concubine. How can he beg for mercy directly? Why doesn't this fool use his brain?
What's more, the side concubine still doesn't know about the miscarriage of the imperial concubine. She didn't know that he was going to let Liu Xu take her life. Now Liu Xu has shouted out like this...
Liu Xi closed her eyes and kowtowed heavily to King Jing in silence. He knew in his heart that no matter what King Jing called the side concubine. Since she is kneeling now, she must have made a mistake. It is natural for the mother to make a mistake and the son to kowtow to make amends. Moreover, although he believes that he is cruel, he can't give up his biological mother anyway. He can't talk nonsense, he can only kowtow to show his heart.
"You are deeply in love with mother and son." King Jing looked at the three people on the ground with a blank face and said to the Ye side concubine who was kneeling on the ground, "Look at the side concubine, these are the two stupid sons you raised. What's the use of doing so many things? Do you really think that the two of them can support this Jingwang Mansion?
Ye Sidefei still knelt on the ground with a quiet face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised and no words. The next moment, her nostrils suddenly bled, and then a blood mark flowed from the corners of her mouth, and then red and black blood flowed from the corners of her eyes and cochlea. In the exclamation of the three people around her, she smiled and slowly closed her eyes and fell into Liu Xu's arms.
