When Su Xin said these words, the eldest prince was extremely shocked. He looked back at his mother and concubine almost in disbelief, but soon, he shook his head: "Impossible!"

"There is no way my mother and concubine would do such a thing! My eldest sister, there has been some misunderstanding between you and me since you returned to the palace, but if you think about it carefully, has my mother and concubine done anything like this during the days you have been in the palace? What is it that offends you? She has never liked to get involved in right and wrong, and she is even more timid. How could she let someone do such a thing!?" Xiao Huan said quickly, looking at Su Xin with a look of panic and pleading. .

His mother-in-law has always been stupid.

When he was young, his mother-in-law felt that she had given birth to the eldest son, so she was very public about it. Later, after his father ascended the throne, he only gave her the rank of Jieyu. Later, his father almost gave him to other concubines to raise him!

Later, the mother-in-law admitted her mistake and begged, and then the matter was dropped.

Since then, the mother-in-law became much less timid and did not dare to cause trouble.

As he grew up, his father also treated him differently, and his mother and concubine were also very proud of themselves. However, he knew that her mother and concubine were not serious, and doing so would definitely offend others and hold him back, so he often reminded him , Let the mother-in-law hide in the palace. As time goes by, the mother-in-law also knows that it is better to do less and talk less, so she only loses her temper in her own palace and never dares to be arrogant outside.

How could such a person have the courage to sacrifice blood and make such a thing! ?

It is even more impossible to poison the magic stick to death!

"I, I didn't..." Concubine Cheng was so frightened that she took a few steps back, "I just asked someone to place a little paulownia tree figure in the eldest princess's yard! It was just to eliminate the evil spirit, not soaked in any blood... …Really do not have!"

"Your Majesty! Do you believe me? I have been in the palace for so many years. You know best what kind of temperament I have. How dare I do something to harm the eldest princess!" Concubine Cheng cried hard, "Concubine also I'm just afraid. Things haven't gone well for Huan'er recently. I just want to do something to keep him safe. I don't want to do anything else——"

Emperor Yong Rui had a headache from her crying, but he didn't feel any soft-hearted.

He knew that Concubine Cheng was heartless and ignorant, but he also knew that Concubine Cheng was not a kind person.

"I have rarely come to your palace these years. Do you know why?" Emperor Yongrui looked at her coldly, "Every time I come back, if I look at any palace maid, that person will not appear in front of me next time. Occasionally, I can see wounds on the hands of the servants serving you! You act so viciously and have no tolerance for others. I miss that you have given birth to Huan'er, so I endure it again and again. I treat many things as invisible, but I don't. I think it has actually contributed to your prestige! You dare to reach out to the Sude Palace, you are so brave!"

"According to my decree, Concubine Cheng is a snake-hearted and unrepentant person. She practices sorcery in the palace and harms the eldest princess! She will be deprived of her title of concubine and sentenced to death!" Emperor Yongrui showed no mercy. In just one sentence, Concubine Cheng was sentenced to death.

Suxin could feel that it was probably not just Concubine Cheng who had done this.

Because it's so obvious.

Moreover, the corpse of this magic stick does not look like someone who can perform such rituals. He must have been instigated and guided by someone!

However, now that the magic stick is dead, and the people sent by the Ministry of Works to repair the roof a few days ago are relatively messy, it is almost impossible to find who put things on the roof.

Aunt Yan insisted that it was Concubine Cheng who instigated it, and even Concubine Cheng admitted it herself. In this way...

"Concubine Cheng, who asked you to go outside the palace to find magic tricks?" When Concubine Cheng was panicking, Su Xin suddenly asked.

Concubine Cheng was confused. She seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at this moment. She quickly thought and said: "It's Chunliu! During the winter hunting, news came from the hunting ground that my son had lost the throne and I was left without a master." I don’t know what to do, so I can only pray to God and pray to Buddha. Chunliu has always been waiting for me, so I said that Huan’er’s things have not been going well recently, maybe he got into trouble. I didn’t believe it at first, but when I chanted the Buddha’s name to bless my son, the beads broke inexplicably. Then I panicked and asked her to find a way to find someone outside..."

"I didn't reveal my identity at the beginning. I only showed my birth date. The man said that the eldest princess was trying to kill me, so I asked someone to bring him into the palace... Your Majesty, I didn't mean to harm the eldest princess. ! It’s all that bitch Chunliu who lied to me—" Concubine Cheng shouted quickly.

As soon as he said this, Emperor Yongrui immediately asked someone to bring Chunliu up.

However, a certain maid came forward cautiously and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Chunliu was reprimanded by the empress yesterday, and she has not been seen since..."

"Go find it!" Emperor Yongrui glanced at Concubine Cheng indifferently.

Unkind and unkind!

After a while, the guard came over and reported that Chunliu had fallen into the well and died.

When Concubine Cheng heard this, her eyes widened a bit, her face was bloodless, she couldn't hear anything in her ears, she just felt that this time it was over!

The eldest prince's face was also pale and his eyes were blood red. He never thought that he would suddenly encounter such a disaster. At this time, he also knew that it was useless to say anything. All the clues were broken. All the evidence pointed to his mother and concubine. , even if the mother-in-law doesn’t admit it, she won’t survive!

Moreover, even if the mother-in-law did not soak the wooden man with blood, it was true to ask someone to do it, and it was also true to target the eldest sister...

"Father - please forgive my mother and concubine's ignorance -" The eldest prince kowtowed quickly.

Even though he knew he couldn't be saved, he still had to speak at this time!

"Put it on!" Emperor Yongrui showed no mercy at all.

Su Xin knew that half of Concubine Cheng was innocent, but she did not do anything to such a good person. Concubine Cheng stepped on too many bottom lines, not only by harming her, but also by bringing an extramarital man into the palace without permission, and even in her father's memory. There are piles of things accumulated inside!

Soon, Concubine Cheng was taken down.

The eldest prince was lying on the ground, confused in his heart.

Why……

Before Su Xin entered the palace, everything was fine. He was his father's most valued son, and there were ministers who supported him in the court. He also gave birth to his father's eldest grandson. There were obvious signs that he could be crowned prince. But in just a few months, everything was gone.

Even the mother-in-law is gone!

"Do you know what your mother and concubine did?" Emperor Yongrui looked at the eldest prince and asked.

The eldest prince's heart trembled and he quickly replied: "I don't know! I really don't know -"

"You are my eldest son. I had great expectations for you in the past. If you said you didn't know, I would believe you. But I am very disappointed that your mother-in-law made such a mistake. I don't want to do anything about it in the future. See you again——"

"The eldest prince Xiao Huan is under house arrest in the prince's mansion. He cannot come out unless summoned!" Emperor Yongrui said immediately.

After that, he was dragged out.

"Father! Father—" the eldest prince's voice was sad and stern, sounding wronged and desperate.

Emperor Yongrui was not moved at all. He looked at Su Xin, asked those around him to step back, and then said to her: "I know that you may feel that I am heartless, but the most taboo thing for an emperor is to be soft-hearted and sincere. The crime committed by the concubine should be punished by her mother's family. If I hadn't known her nature, I wouldn't have taken her life now..."
