After his inner voice was read, the little cannon fodder became the darling of the world

After Liu Hao finished speaking, he told several jailers: "Lock him in a secret room and only give him one meal a day."

"Your Highness, what about the daily torture instruments?"

Liu Hao didn't even think twice: "Proceed as usual!"

The jailer received the order and immediately carried it out, throwing Liu Zhi into a secret room where he could not see his hand in front of his face.

Liu Hao's subordinate A Qian got a cage of vegetable snakes and a cage of mice from somewhere, threw them into the secret room through a small opening, and then quickly blocked the opening.

But in just a moment, heart-wrenching screams were heard from the secret room.

"Ah...snake, there's a snake! Help..."

Kunning Palace.

Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue brought Nangong Jiu back to Kunning Palace, and Empress Chen hurried to greet them.

"How? Did he admit it?"

Liu Hao nodded: "I admit it, but I have no regrets!

I will let someone experience all the harm he has inflicted on Xueer.

Jiuer said he was afraid of snakes, so I asked Aqian to release some vegetable snakes and mice in there.

Empress Chen looked at Nangong Yunxue again: "Xue'er, how do you want to take revenge?"

“My lady, too many things happened today, and my head is still dizzy.

Brother Hao has had him locked up in a secret room. As for the rest, I'll think about it and ask Dad and Big Brother tomorrow morning."

"Okay! After all, you and your family are victims in this matter, and they have the right to know the truth.

When you have made up your mind, just tell us and the Emperor will make the decision for you."

"Yes, thank you for your consideration!"

On the other side, Emperor Dongling finished his work and stood up and walked out of the imperial study.

At the intersection leading to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Kunning Palace, after a slight hesitation, he turned onto the road leading to the Kunning Palace.

As soon as he reached the door, a eunuch shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Empress Chen and others hurried forward to pay their respects.

Emperor Dong Ling waved his hand and said, "No need to bother. Sit down and talk."

Several people took their seats.

Emperor Dong Ling said, "The Xue family will be executed at Caishikou tomorrow. This has been announced to the public."

Empress Chen couldn't help but be curious: "Your Majesty, what evidence did Ah Bing and the others find?"

"He was a servant who worked for Xue Huaian back then. All the others were killed, but he was lucky enough to survive.

He knew everything about the couple, including Liu Heng's identity.

His health was almost failing, and Ah Bing and the others took great pains to bring him back to the capital safely."

Empress Chen sighed: "This person must not do bad things. After all, the truth will come out sooner or later, no matter how private the matter is."

Emperor Dongling looked at Nangong Xue and said, "Xue'er, Concubine Zheng and her son plotted against you. I will compensate you."

Liu Hao interrupted and said, "Father, speaking of mother and son, the evil things they did to Xue'er are not limited to today.

After Xue'er came back from the imperial study, she remembered a lot of things. Liu Zhi was the man behind the kidnapping of Xue'er.

We have already gone to the clan office to ask him, and he admitted it!"

Although he had already guessed it in his heart, Emperor Dongling was still furious when he heard it.

"What a misfortune for our family! My royal family has produced such a sinister descendant. How can I explain this to Nangong Lie? How can I explain this to the world?

Come on, Concubine Zheng was banished to the cold palace because she failed to educate her children.

Liu Zhi is a cruel and brutal person with numerous evil deeds. If he is still alive after the torture, he will be kept in the clan house and will not be allowed to leave for life. "

Nangong Yunxue knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice!"

"Get up, I owe you this!"

Emperor Dongling looked at Liu Hao, then at Nangong Yunxue, and finally at Queen Chen.

"In fact, there is one more thing that I have never mentioned. Back then, my sixth son died in a strange way, and it was probably related to my third son."

Empress Chen was shocked: "Your Majesty, is there any basis for this?"

Emperor Dong Ling nodded: "Back then, after the Sixth Brother died, I sent people to investigate, and the only person who was with the Sixth Brother at that time was the Third Brother!

At that time, he was only a six-year-old child, so no one suspected him, but instead beat and killed some palace maids for failing to take good care of them. "

Empress Chen thought for a moment and said: "He was still young at the time and his true nature was not exposed, so it was normal that no one suspected him.

A two-month-old baby cannot suffocate himself no matter how he moves his hands and feet.

Maybe he dragged the small quilt over Lao Liu’s face…

As a result, Concubine Xian couldn't bear the pain of losing her son and died of depression. It was so unfair for them to die!"

Nangong Yunxue shook her head and murmured, "A six-year-old child should be innocent. What makes him so cruel and ruthless at such a young age?"

"What else could it be? Zheng Yurou has been taught since she was a child that she regards Liu Zhi as a tool to fight for power, which hurts others and herself!" Queen Chen sighed.

Side hall of Renchun Palace.

Concubine Zheng was forcibly moved from the main hall of Renchun Palace to the side hall. She was crying and shouting, and before she could come to her senses, a few more eunuchs arrived.

Without saying anything, he dragged her out of the side hall like dragging an object.

Concubine Zheng struggled hard: "What are you doing?"

"The Emperor has issued an oral decree that Concubine Zheng has failed to educate her children properly and has been banished to the cold palace!"

"How? Why?"

A eunuch kindly explained: "The Third Prince has admitted that he abducted Madam Xue when he was eight years old. The Emperor was furious."

Concubine Zheng stopped struggling. With so many things piled together, it was no wonder that the emperor blamed her for not educating her son well.

If that thing...

Concubine Zheng was like a puppet, letting others manipulate her: "Where is my prince? What happened to him?"

"From now on, the clan house will belong to His Majesty the Third Prince."

"What? No, no..." Concubine Zheng struggled desperately again, almost crazy.

"I want to see the emperor. I must see the emperor, or I will bite my tongue and commit suicide."

Several eunuchs saw that Concubine Zheng was not in good condition and were afraid that something might happen to her before she even entered the cold palace, so they hurriedly discussed it.

"You cooperate well, we will go and report."

A eunuch ran away quickly, and after an incense stick of time, he ran back quickly.

"Let's go to the clan house. The emperor has allowed you and your son to meet."

Zongren Mansion.

When Concubine Zheng and her entourage arrived at the clan house, Liu Zhi had already been taken to a slightly tidier cell.

In just half a day, Liu Zhi became bruised and dazed.

Concubine Zheng called softly with concern.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhi raised his head and looked at Concubine Zheng: "Mother, I don't want to stay in the clan residence anymore. Find a way to rescue me."

"My son, please be patient. When your father's anger subsides, he will let you go." Concubine Zheng suppressed the bitterness in her heart.

"It's all my mother's fault!

I only know how to teach you how to plan. If we had been law-abiding, would today have a different outcome?

Now that I think about it, I was wrong from the beginning. I regret it so much!"

"Mother, I know you are doing this for my own good!" Liu Zhi grabbed Concubine Zheng's hand pleadingly.

"Hurry up and find a way to save my son."

"My son, if you want to live..."
