Chapter 135: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (38)
Chapter 135: The Gloomy Eunuch and the Imperial Concubine (38)
Xiao Hong fainted and lay in Panlong Palace for five days before waking up.
After waking up, he had to admit that his health was really not good.
That night, after taking his medicine on time, he sat at the table waiting for news.
At this moment, the door of the palace was suddenly pushed open from the outside with a creaky sound.
Xiao Hong looked up and was not surprised when he saw who was coming.
"What are you waiting for, Your Majesty?"
Ruan Guannan walked towards him step by step with graceful steps.
Her beauty still made Xiao Hong unable to control his trance, making him love and hate her at the same time.
"Ruan Jieyu, trespassing into the emperor's bedroom is a capital crime!"
Xiao Hong looked at her solemnly and spoke word by word.
Ruan Guannan picked a chair and sat down, chuckling softly.
"Your Majesty, why did you go to so much trouble to secretly collect Ling'er's blood? If you want to know anything, I can tell you."
Xiao Hong's palms tightened, his expression became even uglier, and he said in a cold voice:
"Ling'er, is he my son?"
"No."
Ruan Guannan was very straightforward and satisfied his curiosity.
Xiao Hong stood up suddenly, pointed at Ruan Guannan's shaking hand, and couldn't utter a word for a long time.
He was furious and suddenly rushed to Ruan Guannan, raising his hand to strangle her to death.
But before he could touch a single strand of her hair, Xiao Huaiyi appeared and kicked him away, knocking him back to his original position.
Xiao Hong was already anxious and angry, and this kick made things even worse, accelerating his decline.
Xiao Huaiyi frowned, knelt on one knee on the ground, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, picked up the corner of the woman's skirt that was touched and started wiping it.
Ruan Guannan raised his hand and touched his head, which felt very tactile, and cooperated with his movements very well.
Xiao Hong couldn't believe his eyes. He was stunned for a while and roared with difficulty.
"This is your adulterer? You actually fell for a dog slave?!"
Ruan Guannan's smiling face suddenly darkened. He looked at the dying emperor with disgust and said coldly:
"You are a side branch that cannot be more biased. You are not even qualified to kowtow to him."
Seeing the woman who stood up for him, Xiao Huaiyi's originally gloomy heart suddenly brightened up a lot.
He slowly stood up and faced the man he hated so much that he wanted to chop him into pieces, his voice full of hostility and coldness.
"Xiao Hong, when you humiliated my mother, did you ever think that you would be retaliated against one day?"
Hearing him call her "Mother", Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment.
Almost instantly, he remembered the "most beautiful woman" in Shengjing City that he had heard his subordinates talk about when he first stepped into the palace gate. She was now in the palace.
To celebrate his victory, he took the opportunity to meet this "most beautiful woman".
I didn't expect that after so many years, her son would come to her house.
Xiao Hong's face looked extremely bad, with wrinkles piled up tightly together, making the emperor look cruel and mean.
His lips moved for a moment, and he said vaguely:
"I have so many women, how could I possibly be interested in a former abandoned woman who has lost her chastity?"
Seeing that he refused to admit it and even verbally insulted his mother, Xiao Huaiyi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
He was so angry that the veins on his neck popped out. He dodged and kicked Xiao Hong hard in the chest.
Xiao Hong knocked down the Panlong Pillar and lay on the ground vomiting a large pool of blood.
Seeing Xiao Huaiyi's ferocious look filled with murderous intent, Ruan Guannan hurried forward to comfort him and said softly:
"You kicked him to death so quickly, and you're the only one holding your breath. Use this."
After he finished speaking, he handed him the silver whip wrapped around his waist.
Xiao Huaiyi took a deep breath, hugged the person and kissed him a few times before he suppressed the anger in his heart.
He took the whip and walked towards the emperor who looked like a dead man.
When he got close, he kicked the man hard with his leg, pressing him against the Panlong Pillar.
He then quickly pulled the gauze curtain next to him and passed it through his neck, firmly holding him in place.
Looking at his miserable and struggling appearance, Xiao Huaiyi suddenly revealed a vicious and cruel smile.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xiao Hong's skin was torn apart.
Not to mention, after all, he had been a king for several years and he did have some backbone. Xiao Hong took the whip without saying a word.
Ruan Guannan walked closer, looked at him for a moment, and then said coldly:
"Xiao Hong, when the Ruan family went to war against Xiwu, you planted a spy in the army. After my father and brother went to the battlefield, you stabbed them in the back! Since you are so afraid of the Ruan family, why don't you be so bold as you are now to belittle our Ruan family!"
Ruan Guannan became more and more angry as he spoke.
"On the one hand, I rely on my Ruan family to protect the world, and on the other hand, I wish that my entire Ruan family would be wiped out. Even if I protect a stray dog on the side of the road, it is much safer than protecting you."
After saying that, she touched Xiao Huaiyi's head lovingly again, then said in a cold voice:
"You and your good son are indeed ambitious people of the same lineage. You colluded with Xiwu and bribed the then Minister of War to frame Minister Li's family for collaborating with the enemy. All of them, including the elderly, children, women and children, were executed.
You even cared about the only daughter left in someone else's life. You deserve what you have ended up in. "
Xiao Hong opened his eyes weakly. The blood on his forehead flowed down and covered his eyes, making it difficult for him to see clearly.
But he still raised his head and looked at Ruan Guannan, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was full of old age:
"My beloved concubine knows so much, it seems that she has long been planning to kill me."
Xiao Huaiyi's eyes darkened, and another whip came through the air, with much more brutal force than the first time.
Xiao Hong finally couldn't bear it anymore and howled miserably, the sound echoing in the Panlong Palace.
But no one rushed in to rescue him.
Ruan Guannan shrugged, not caring at all about his verbal rant.
But Xiao Huaiyi obviously refused, and whipped Xiao Hong so fiercely that he almost took away his last breath.
Looking at the similar scene in front of her, she remembered the time when she slapped Xia Luoning. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she spoke to Xiao Huaiyi briskly:
"Xiao Hong talks about his beloved concubine all the time. Otherwise, let Xia Luoning and Xia Changle be buried with our emperor.
Oh, yes, and there is also Li Zhaoyi who was thrown into the mass grave by him. If they are together, the emperor will have a companion on his way to the underworld."
Xiao Hong's eyes widened with anger, and he took a deep breath and cursed:
"Bitch, you unfaithful bitch, if I had known this would happen, I should have killed you with a knife. It would be better than you cheating on me and giving birth to a bastard. The bastard in your belly..."
Before he could finish his words, the sword flashed, and a disgusting piece of tongue flew out and fell to the ground.
Xiao Huaiyi withdrew his fierce gaze, turned around and kissed the woman's forehead, and touched her bulging belly soothingly a few times.
Xiao Hong was so angry that he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. His breathing became heavier and heavier, as harsh as a broken bellows.
Soon, the man on the pillar opened his eyes as wide as he could, and his voice suddenly stopped, dying with his eyes wide open...
*
Since the virtuous concubine knew that her son had been defeated, she had already prepared to die.
There was no trace of grief for losing her child in her eyes; instead, her calmness was eerie.
The next day, when the executioner stepped into the bedroom, he was frightened by the bloody and terrifying woman kneeling at the door.
After a careful check, I found out that it was Concubine Zhen!
All the flesh on her body had been pierced to pieces by the hairpin, and her eyes were left with only two deep and terrifying holes.
It can be seen that the person who did this had disgust and hatred towards her.
The person they were looking for was already lying peacefully on the bed, having already stopped breathing.
On the other side, Xia Luoning stared at the entrance of the hall with fear and hatred in her eyes, fearing that if she closed her eyes, someone would come to claim her life.
Her eye sockets were sunken, and the wounds on her body were still hideous. She had long lost the beauty she had when she was full of vigor and vitality.
But her wish was not fulfilled, and the eunuch who was executing her did not let her go.
Until his death, he was still shouting words like "Ruan Guannan is having an affair, the fifth prince is a bastard".
Unfortunately, no one took this seriously.
On the day of the funeral, the palace servants carried the emperor's coffin, which was obviously much heavier, and entered the newly built imperial mausoleum on the mountain in a grand procession.
The real Xiao Hong did not even enter the apparent resting place. With the world as his bed and wild dogs as his companions, he slept forever in a place unknown to anyone...
