GBP Chapter 151 He Zhiyi's Death
Chapter 151 He Zhiyi's Death
Emperor Xuan was still the same Emperor Xuan, ruthless and resolute, just as he had been when he dared to lead hundreds of people in an uprising and risk their lives.
In the past two years, he has become more capable of competing with He Qianzhao, so he couldn't wait to use the matter of the second prince to get rid of He Zhiyi.
He Zhiyi looked at the dagger, poisoned wine and three-foot white silk in the copper tray and suddenly smiled.
"Has the Emperor not arrived yet?"
The young eunuch standing at the head hung his head and said: "The emperor will not come, my lord, please understand and be considerate of me."
If it weren't for the emperor's order, who would do this thankless task?
He Zhiyi refused to give in: "I told you I will never willingly die before the Emperor arrives."
"My lord... I am only following orders... If you are unwilling to do it yourself, how about I help you?"
The young eunuch pointed at the white silk and asked He Zhiyi, "What do you think of this, Your Majesty? It's painless and quick. And it doesn't require bleeding..."
"No! I want to see the emperor! You dog slave, I said I want to see the emperor!" He Zhiyi was anxious and reached out to push the little eunuch who was approaching her.
The young eunuch tugged at the white silk and waved for someone to hold He Zhiyi down.
He said: "It won't hurt. I'm very familiar with it. I guarantee you won't die in a painful way..."
"No! I don't want to, I don't want to die! I want to see the Emperor, I want to see the Regent! The Regent is my brother, if he knew about this he would never let you go!"
He Zhiyi was held down by the shoulders by two eunuchs and knelt on the ground.
The young eunuch stood in front of her and lightly put the white silk around her neck.
"Don't worry, my lord. The prince is not such an unreasonable person. You, my lord, couldn't bear the loss of status and committed suicide. Even if the regent knew, he wouldn't blame anyone. So, my lord, please go on your journey with peace of mind!"
As he spoke, the young eunuch grabbed the white silk and walked half a circle around He Zhiyi, then came behind her.
The white silk is soft and feels slightly cool against the skin.
As the white silk rubbed against her flesh, He Zhiyi began to panic. She struggled hard but to no avail.
The young eunuch behind her exerted even more force, and the white silk tightly strangled He Zhiyi's neck.
The feeling of suffocation surged up instantly, and He Zhiyi struggled violently...
The veins on the young eunuch's hands were clearly visible, and his strength was growing stronger.
Gradually, He Zhiyi's struggles became less intense...and she finally stopped moving completely.
But the young eunuch did not let go, but strangled He Zhiyi fiercely for half a minute.
Finally, he stretched out his hand to confirm that there was no breathing before letting go.
The white silk fluttered down at He Zhiyi's feet.
It is not serious but heavy enough to take a life.
"Alright, hang him up now." Then the young eunuch asked, "Have you dealt with the two outside?"
One of them rolled his eyes and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Jinliang. Your two personal maids are extremely loyal to you. When they saw you commit suicide, they followed you."
"Okay, you did a great job. Once you hang the man up, we can report back to the Emperor."
The other two eunuchs were responsible for hanging He Zhiyi to make it look like she had committed suicide by hanging.
He even considerately placed a round stool under He Zhiyi's feet and then kicked it over.
Yu Shu and Ji Yun knocked their heads against the palace wall, blood slid down from top to bottom, and the two of them were lying together.
It was as if they had agreed to live and die together.
The three men left, and from then on no one survived in Ren De Palace.
Jinliang first reported to Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan was also touched when he knew that He Zhiyi wanted to see him before she died.
He sighed deeply. He Zhiyi was a wonderful person. How much better would it be if her last name wasn't He? As long as she didn't seek power and usurp the throne, he could tolerate her.
But He Zhiyi's surname happened to be He, and she gave birth to a prince with He's blood.
Perhaps it was God's pity that he had to go through a father-son feud at the age of fifty, so he took Xiaoliu away...
It also gave him the opportunity to get rid of He Zhiyi.
But now Emperor Xuan actually felt a little heartbroken? A faint sense of reluctance...
But she is already dead, and no matter how reluctant I am, I cannot go to the underworld to accompany her, so let her die alone.
He will accompany her a hundred years from now. By then, there will be no imperial power and no need to fight. It will be fine for him to stay by her side as an ordinary couple.
Emperor Xuan sighed deeply again, drove everyone out of the Qianqing Palace, and reminisced alone...
. . . . . .
The news that Concubine He could not bear the humiliation and the huge gap of disappointment and hanged herself spread like wildfire.
When Jinyou found out, he just sighed at Emperor Xuan's courage.
Xiao Mingyi hadn't even gotten into trouble yet, so why was he so anxious to sentence He Zhiyi to death? As his nephew, the only male in the He family, shouldn't he seek justice for his aunt?
So Jinyou packed up and prepared to go to the palace to seek justice for He Zhiyi.
By the way, send a message to Ji Zhonghuan that he can prepare to submit a letter.
However, Jinyou did not enter the palace directly this time as usual, but discussed with Xiao Yunzhen before entering the palace.
He was also told that He Zhiyi was dead.
The little one was so shocked that he choked and coughed while drinking milk.
[Ahem... so soon... not even half a day has passed. Was he ordered to commit suicide right after being demoted?]
Jin You corrected his words: "It's not a gift of suicide, it's suicide. The conclusion he gave is that He Zhiyi couldn't bear the huge change and committed suicide because she couldn't think straight. As for the truth, no one knows except the person involved."
Ever since Rende Palace was under siege, even Xiao Que'er couldn't get close to it, so naturally no one knew what was going on inside.
But since the person is dead, the truth is no longer important. What matters is what he can gain for himself. What can he gain for Xiao Yunzhen?
He said, "I am preparing to enter the palace and try to enter the court as soon as possible." He spoke frankly without any hesitation.
Xiao Yunzhen was stunned when he heard this, and then he roared angrily in his heart.
"Are you crazy? Why are you entering the imperial court at such a young age? You'll only be bullied by those old foxes! No, I don't agree to this! At least not now!"
Jinyou helplessly spread his hands: "Look, if I don't discuss it with you, you say I don't trust you and don't respect you. If I discuss it with you, you disagree and get anxious."
"That's not what I meant." Xiao Yunzhen explained. "Even the princes don't get involved in government affairs until they're ten years old. You're only eight. Not to mention your young age, you have no military merits or achievements. And yet you're entering the court with the empty title of Regent Prince? Who would approve of that?"
Jinyou also knew that he was a little reckless, but the opportunity was right in front of him.
At present, Emperor Xuan may still be feeling guilty and nostalgic for He Zhiyi, and there is a 30% chance that he loves He Zhiyi as well.
And there is another way for him to gain merit.
He explained, "We've been investigating Zhu Xun's death and have uncovered evidence of the sale of official positions. Our only clue so far is a list of names with widespread implications. I'm thinking..."
Jinyou analyzed his plan to Xiao Yunzhen one by one.
After hearing this, Xiao Yunzhen's eyes became brighter and brighter.
[There's a 50% chance! It can not only clear out some of the termites, but also 'clean up the imperial court'! And those removed are all old nobles who have become too powerful. He will definitely agree!]
"So don't worry, I will never do anything I'm not sure of. For the Emperor, this is a two-pronged approach that both tests the situation and removes obstacles. Even if he can't agree immediately, he will certainly give permission in a tactful way."
