The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Lu Heng lowered his eyelashes and said respectfully, "The queen has a holy bow and has already executed all the maids involved in the case."

In fact, when the emperor first woke up, Lu Heng said that all the traitors had been killed. At that time, the emperor thought it was Jin Yiwei who killed him after interrogation, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the queen.

Also, if it was Lu Heng, how could he make an assertion?

The emperor was quiet, and suddenly realized that something was wrong: "Where's Concubine Duan?"

Lu Heng was finally able to tell the matter, he bowed his head more deeply, and said, "Concubine Duan and the eldest princess were taken away by the queen at night."

Lu Heng was married by himself, and could understand the feelings of married men very well. One of the empress and Concubine Duan is the wife, and the other is the concubine. No matter who is helping outsiders, it is not right. It is better not to intervene at all and let the emperor deal with his woman.

The emperor frowned and understood why Lu Heng brought Wang Yanqing to the palace. When it comes to the family members of the harem, only women can be checked. But now is not the time to say this, the emperor quickly ordered: "Go to Kunning Palace first, and lock up Concubine Duan."

Lu Heng clasped his fists and hurried away. But they were still one step late. When Jin Yiwei arrived, Concubine Cao Duan was already dead.

He couldn't rest his eyes, and his blood was blurred, but he was killed by Ling Chi.

Chapter 107 Mastermind

When Lu Heng heard that Empress Fang took Concubine Cao Duan away and arrested Wang Ning's concubine, she had a premonition that Empress Fang would avenge her private revenge. But Jin Yiwei's task was to protect the emperor. After the emperor woke up, Lu Heng relayed the matter, and the emperor made up his mind.

The emperor asked Lu Heng to go to Kunning Palace to detain Concubine Cao Duan, but he was actually keeping Concubine Duan's life in disguise. Jin Yiwei is a pro-military of the foreign dynasty, and has nothing to do with the harem, but the Silijian and the Shanggong Bureau have infiltrated the forces of various palace concubines, and those eunuchs can do whatever they want, which is enough to make Duanfei suffer.

Although the emperor has not yet found out why the palace servants killed him, according to his feeling, it will not be Concubine Cao Duan.

Cao Duanfei's father was an official in the court, and he was very favored, and he also had a daughter who was only eight months old. If Concubine Cao Duan really had different intentions, she would have had so many opportunities to eat and sleep with the emperor over the years, why would she have the palace maid strangle the emperor with a rope on the night of serving her bed?

Regardless of success or failure, Concubine Cao Duan will definitely be implicated. She really had no reason to do such a thing.

Lu Heng went to Kunning Palace to bring people. At first, Queen Fang refused to talk. She talked for a long time. Lu Heng took out the token and showed a strong attitude. Then Queen Fang let go and said that the traitor should be locked in a secluded place. local interrogation.

According to Queen Fang's words, Jin Yiwei came to the most remote palace complex behind the Imperial Garden, and finally found Concubine Cao Duan in the cold palace. As soon as Lu Heng pushed the door in, he frowned fiercely.

Lu Heng still underestimated Empress Fang's cruelty. Empress Fang not only used lynching, but even used the cruelest death penalty.

Ling Chi used a knife to cut the flesh piece by piece, often with a few hundred knives. This is the most cruel punishment. Usually, only those who treason and rebel will be divided by Lingchi. Concubine Cao Duan was the first and probably the only concubine who was executed by Ling Chi.

The imperial prison is known as the purgatory on earth. When Jin Yiwei interrogates prisoners, he will also use irons, whips, and sticks. Guo Tao admits that he is used to seeing bloody scenes, and he almost vomited when he first entered the cold palace. Concubine Chong, who was lively and laughing not long ago, has now become a piece of debris on the ground. A head is attached to a body that is no longer complete. Lying on the ground coldly, her eyes are wide open, and she is no longer as charming and soft as she used to be.

Many Jinyiwei were uncomfortable, and the younger ones had already run to the corner and vomited. Lu Heng walked around Concubine Duan's body with a cold face, and searched around the palace, but found no useful clues. The eunuch who executed the execution was stuck on the wall. They were a little panicked, but they said confidently: "The emperor was murdered by Jian in Yikun Palace, but Concubine Duan happened to be not there, so she must know. Ling Chi is cheap for such wicked people. took them."

"They." Lu Heng repeated the word slowly, turning around and instructing Jin Yiwei, "Search all the surrounding palaces, Wang Ning's concubine is also here."

The eunuch was flustered. He didn't expect Lu Heng to be so sensitive. The eunuch was caught by Lu Heng with just a few words. But the eunuch thought that he had been ordered by the queen, and raised his head fearlessly.

After Lu Heng gave the order, Jin Yiwei ran back and reported that he had found Concubine Wang Ning in a secluded corner of the palace wall, but they went too late and Concubine Ning had already been hanged.

Lu Heng sighed silently.

After all, she is a palace concubine, and it is not a problem that the corpse lies in the wild. Lu Heng ordered someone to collect the corpse for Concubine Cao Duan and Concubine Wang Ning. Concubine Wang Ning could say that Concubine Cao Duan's body was cut into pieces, and it was not easy to collect the body. When Jin Yiwei was struggling to gather the broken arm and stump, a man in Jinyiwei's school captain's uniform came running quickly and whispered in Lu Heng's ear, "Sir, the queen has gone to Yikun Palace."

Lu Heng rushed back to the Yikun Palace, where Empress Fang was already inside. Empress Fang held the handkerchief in both hands, still so dignified and dignified, and said: "The fact that such a big thing happened in the harem is because the concubine's body is not strict in governing the palace. The concubine deeply feels guilty and dare not ask the emperor for forgiveness. The concubine ordered the inner prisoner to arrest the palace staff for interrogation. Some palace staff heard that Yang Jinying was conspiring with others. It turned out that Wang Ning's concubine had not been favored for a long time, and she was resentful, so she instructed Yang Jinying to do wicked things. Although Concubine Cao Duan did not participate , but she also knew of Yang Jinying's conspiracy, and deliberately left for a long time, which caused the emperor to suffer."
