Chapter 283: Public Interrogation and Execution of Wusu
After Wu Su agreed to be awakened by the cold water, she was still a little confused. What happened? Didn’t she fall on the hillside by accident and wait for Mo Yun to discover Concubine Xian’s affair?
But soon her face changed, and she gradually recalled the scene before she fell into coma, in which someone secretly covered her mouth from behind and dragged her away.
Her face turned pale instantly and she looked around in horror, only to be met with the gazes of people filling the imperial tent, and the person in the middle was the emperor.
Wu Su's pupils suddenly shrank when he agreed. He realized something was wrong and quickly looked at his messy wet clothes.
Although Hongying helped Wusu to put the clothes back on, the situation at that time, and the fact that the clothes had already become wrinkled because of Wusu's relationship with Xiao Anzi, anyone could tell what had happened.
Wu Su was certainly not a fool. She realized something immediately and screamed.
"Oh, Your Majesty, help me, help me, someone wants to harm me, someone wants to harm me!"
Next to him, Xiao Anzi, who was also awakened by the cold water, realized something was wrong the moment he woke up. When he saw Concubine Xian to the lower right of the emperor, his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly realized something and looked at the clothes he had casually put on.
Combined with what Wu Su promised, the smart man had already guessed something. He looked as pale as death. He was finished.
At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Liang Jiugong, who had returned from investigation, walked in quickly and whispered in the emperor's ear who was sitting in the middle.
It turned out that Wusu Yingda was the mastermind who framed the little girl. Kangxi suddenly grabbed the jade ring, his face gloomy as water, and looked at Wusu Yingda like a dead person. He ignored her so-called cry of injustice and said in a voice as deep as thunder:
"Wusu agreed. As a concubine, you acted frivolously and boldly, and your morals were corrupt. You had an affair with a eunuch in public. The evidence is irrefutable. Now I am demoted to a commoner and given a white silk. Wusunahai failed to teach his daughter well, so he is demoted three levels in a row to make him reflect on his mistakes."
As soon as the words fell, the quiet imperial tent became even quieter, and everyone's heart trembled. The emperor was really cruel. However, it was an affair, and it was an affair that everyone knew about. The emperor did not implicate the three clans of the Wusu family, which was already a special favor.
Wu Su, who was still crying out for injustice, suddenly stopped and stared with eyes wide open in disbelief. What did they mean by her having an affair with a eunuch in public?
What does it mean to be demoted to a commoner and granted white silk?
What does it mean that the father was demoted three levels for not educating his daughter properly?
How come she could understand every word, but couldn't understand them together? When did she have an affair with the prince in public? At this moment, she thought of something and looked at Xiao Anzi, who was kneeling on the ground beside her, with an expression of disbelief.
Realizing something, he immediately covered his chest and screamed again:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't even know this eunuch. I am being wrongly accused. Please see clearly!"
The thought of being intimate with the young eunuch next to him in public made him feel so ashamed and angry that he even felt like vomiting and he actually vomited.
When Xiao Anzi saw Wu Su's response, his heart was a little moved, but soon calmed down.
No matter what attitude Wu Su agreed to, he would definitely die after such a thing happened, and a deep despair suddenly rose in his heart.
When Kangxi heard Wusu's cry for injustice, he became more disgusted. A small concubine actually plotted to frame Concubine Xian.
When Kangxi thought about what kind of situation the little girl would face if Wusu succeeded in framing her, he wished he could have Wusu executed by slow slicing.
Liang Jiugong saw the emperor's expression and immediately waved his hand. Soon two guards came in from outside the imperial tent, picked up Wu Suda, who was still vomiting, and dragged him away.
Wu Su agreed but she didn't expect that the emperor would not listen to any of her explanations and was carried away in panic. However, at this moment, her eyes suddenly caught sight of Concubine Xian sitting at the lower right, and her pupils suddenly trembled.
Empress Xian, why is she here?
Wasn't she drugged and waiting for me to catch her and Jirgalang committing adultery in public?
Realizing this, Wu Su struggled violently and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Your Majesty, it's not me, it's not me. It's Concubine Xian who had an affair with someone, with that Guo Luoluo Jierhalang. I am innocent, I was wronged. They were the ones who framed me on purpose because I found out about the affair. Your Majesty, you have to believe me!"
As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Wu Su agreed to grab a point and started to pull it randomly. Everyone present looked at Shi Nanxi.
Shi Nanxi thought to herself that Wu Su Da Ying was quite smart. She actually guessed that the affair between her and Xiao Anzi was framed by her.
But so what? You have framed me, so why can't I repay you in the same way you have treated me? Do you expect me to be magnanimous and forgive you?
It was really funny, but he frowned slightly, and his palm-sized face was a little pale. At this moment, he felt puzzled and angry about Wu Su's random promise.
"Wusu promised, when did I wrongly accuse you? Did I frame you? I admit that I left the banquet in the middle and headed for the hillside, but halfway there, I looked at the sunset in the sky and suddenly remembered the days when I watched the sunrise with the emperor.
I realized that any sulking was not as good as my relationship with the Emperor, so I changed my route and went to the Imperial Tent. I stayed with the Emperor in the Imperial Tent the whole time. With the Emperor and the imperial concubines as witnesses, I have a clear conscience. "
She seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Kangxi. Kangxi was also looking at her. He did not expect that the little girl would confess her love to him in public. His deep phoenix eyes were fully reflected with Shi Nanxi's figure.
When others saw the Emperor and Concubine Xian looking at each other affectionately, their handkerchiefs were about to be torn. Concubine Nianhulu could hardly cover her expression and could not help but interrupt the look between the two with a sharp voice.
"Your Majesty, Wusu promised to commit adultery in the harem and deserved the punishment, but the eunuch who had an affair with Wusu promised to commit an equally heinous crime. I remember that he was a useful eunuch by Concubine Xian's side. He did such a daring thing. Concubine Xian is the head of one palace and has some power to assist in the management of the six palaces. She failed to manage the palace properly and should be held responsible."
Then he changed the subject and pointed out sharply:
"And what Wusu promised made sense. How could it be such a coincidence that Concubine Xian suddenly changed her route halfway? When Wusu was caught, she was also unconscious and seemed to have been drugged. There is obviously a conspiracy behind all this, Your Majesty!"
Hearing this, Shi Nanxi's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like the flapping of butterfly wings. Her pale little face, with her lower lip tightly bitten, made her look particularly pitiful and helpless.
Kangxi's heart ached when he saw this, and then his sharp eyes suddenly shot towards Concubine Niuhulu, and he said in a deep voice:
"Are you questioning my orders, Concubine?"
Concubine Niuhulu was startled.
He quickly knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, I dare not, but everything is indeed suspicious. No matter what, it is a fact that the capable eunuch beside Concubine Xian and Wu Su promised to defile the harem!"
The eyes of Concubine Hui and others flickered slightly, but they did not join in. However, the anxious Concubine Ping's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she knelt down despite Nanny Shang's attempts to stop her.
"Your Majesty, what the Imperial Concubine said is reasonable. Empress Xian allowed the eunuchs and concubines to defile the harem. It is possible that she herself is also corrupt. Wasn't it that someone saw her in Wanshu Garden with Guo Luoluo..."
With a "bang", Kangxi smashed the teacup hard next to Pingpin, scaring her so much that the rest of the words were forced to get stuck in her throat.
