Chapter 725 Implicated (1)
The Heavenly Prison in the Palace is built underground and is usually guarded by the Imperial Guards.
Zhu Qijue was ordered by the Queen and led a group of imperial guards to take over the Heavenly Prison.
There are three floors in the Tianzhuo, and each cell is separated by a distance. The princes and concubine Wei Xian, Zheng Jieyu were locked on the third floor, and Zhenyuanhou, Jinning Hou, was locked on the second floor. The princess and granddaughters were locked on the first floor.
The eldest prince has two sons and two daughters, the fourth prince has one legitimate son and one illegitimate son, and the fifth prince has only one illegitimate daughter. The youngest is less than one year old, and the oldest is only six or seven years old.
The children were ignorant and were led into the Heavenly Prison from the mourning hall. At first, they thought the narrow and dark Heavenly Prison was quite interesting. After half a day, they started to make a fuss about leaving. The crying of the two days has not stopped, and the crying in the Heavenly Prison has come one after another.
The eldest prince's concubine cried and her eyes were swollen. Today, she could no longer cry. She just sat on the ground blankly, without saying anything, like a statue.
The concubine's son and daughter are young, and their crying is annoying. Her son, Brother Xun, is already seven years old, the oldest among children, and has reached the age of sensibility.
Brother Xun sat silently beside his mother, holding her cold hand.
The eldest princess glanced at his son in a daze, and then laughed miserably: "Brother Xun, your father made a big mistake and he will die. We will be implicated by him this time."
The eldest prince was ambitious and had a stubborn and crazy obsession with the throne. He took the risk and took this step and died.
Conspiracy is a death sentence. Half of the time it was because the second prince was the legitimate son of Empress Pei. How could Empress Pei not kill the roots?
Brother Xun'er's eyes were red and she asked in a low voice: "Mother, will we die?"
The eldest prince's concubine thought her tears had dried up. When she heard these few short words, she burst into tears.
She reached out to hug Brother Xun, crying heartbrokenly.
It would be fine if she died. She had lived enough such a frightened life. But her son is still young! He hasn't grown up yet.
She really hates the eldest prince now.
If he wants to die, he will die by himself, why should he implicate their mother and son?
"Mother, I'm scared." Brother Xun also started crying quietly. He put his thin arms around his mother. The sleeping sister on the side was awakened and crawled over and got into the arms of his mother and brother: "Mother, brother, I'm scared too."
The eldest prince's concubine hugged her children and shed tears like rain: "Don't be afraid. The mother and son are born in the same place and die together. When we arrive at the ground in the underworld, we are still together."
Concubine Liang and Concubine Ye, who were beside him, also hugged the child and started crying.
...
A shrill cry drifted out of the crack of the door and reached another cell several meters away.
The fourth prince's concubine Wei Fanghua looked trunk and silently hugged her son in her arms. Her son was only over one year old and had just learned to call him father and mother.
The concubine's son next to him was even younger, only one year old, and was hugged by his biological mother in his arms. He was tired of crying and fell asleep.
After entering the prison, will there be the day you will go out?
After she married the Fourth Prince, the couple respected each other and were lukewarm. The Fourth Prince liked to raise a few beautiful eunuchs in the study, but she didn't know how to do it. After she was pregnant and gave birth to her son, she breathed a sigh of relief.
With her offspring, she no longer has to force herself to get close to the fourth prince. In the future, she will raise her son well. If her husband is not reliable, she will rely on her son.
She doesn't care about wealth and power, as long as she can live a safe life.
Unfortunately, God does not follow others' wishes. Just such a small wish was ruthlessly broken.
The moment she knew that the fourth prince and the eldest prince and the fifth prince conspired to assassinate the prince, she was desperate.
After entering the Heavenly Prison, the eldest princess cried without stopping. She did not cry or shout, but just kept holding her child. When the child was crying, she gently patted the child's back and recited silently in her heart.
Child, you have been born in the wrong baby. Open your eyes in the next life, join a good family, and live a peaceful life.
...
In the cell on the other side, what was heard was not crying, but shouting and scolding.
It is Zheng Qinghan, the fifth prince's concubine.
"Come on, let me out!"
"What the fifth prince did has something to do with me. It's not that I used a dagger to assassinate the prince. Why should I lock me in the prison! Let me out quickly! I'm going to see my mother!"
The crazy shouting has almost never stopped since Zheng Qinghan entered the Heavenly Prison. After two days, Zheng Qinghan was already hoarse in his voice and still refused to give up. He said at least ten times every day.
Zheng Qinghan's crazy screams failed to attract anyone. However, they scared the baby girl in the same cell.
This baby girl was born to the concubine of the fifth prince and was less than one year old. The baby girl was so scared that she cried like a ghost by her mother's screams. Her tender little throat could no longer cry, and her small arms and legs were thrusting, which looked very pitiful.
The fifth prince's concubine also cried red and her eyes were begging in a low voice: "Prince, Sister Wei is still young, so she can't help but be scared. Please stop shouting..."
Before he finished speaking, Zheng Qinghan rushed over like a mad cow, reached out and slapped his concubine twice in the face: "What do I want to do? You deserve to be too talkative."
The fifth prince's concubine slapped the eyes and fell to the ground with a depressed slap. However, protecting the child is the nature of the mother. It was at this moment that the fifth prince's concubine still hugged her daughter tightly.
She curled up and protected her daughter in her arms. She silently endured the kicks behind her.
Zheng Qinghan vented all his anger and hatred on the concubine. He punched and kicked her but couldn't help but snatch the baby girl from the concubine: "It's all this Death Star. Since she was born, there has been no good thing. Anyway, I can't live anymore. I'll give her to me, and I'll throw her to death now."
The baby girl couldn't cry, and her little face turned red.
The concubine who had been gritting her teeth and obediently could no longer bear it.
She jumped up like crazy, took back her daughter with all her might, and then hit Zheng Qinghan's stomach with her head. Zheng Qinghan didn't expect that this cowardly woman would dare to resist. She was caught off guard and staggered and fell down, and her head hit the edge of the bed.
A severe pain occurred on the back of my head, and a damp and hot liquid slowly flowed out.
Zheng Qinghan rolled his eyes and fainted.
The fifth prince's concubine's eyes were filled with tears. She hugged her daughter tightly and kept murmuring: "Sister Wei, don't be afraid. Who dares to hurt you a little bit? I will sacrifice my life and will not spare her."
There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. On weekdays, she has suffered a lot of trouble and idleness in the fifth prince’s mansion. Whoever asked her to be a concubine or a concubine, she could only bear any grievances.
But she couldn't bear it.
The daughter is her heart. The fifth prince's concubine wants to smash her daughter to death, so she can never retreat and tolerate it.
