Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 281 The End of Concubine Gui

"Let him go."

Concubine Gui's not-so-young face was full of ridicule: "When her shameless mother was having an affair with the emperor behind my back, why didn't she think of letting me go..."

She picked up a whip at hand and whipped the kneeling Fifth Prince.

"My dear consort, that child is kind-hearted. Seeing that you have been in the palace for several years without having any children, he wants you to have a child..."

Seeing Concubine Gui raising the whip again, the old nanny did not dare to stop her. She just kowtowed and begged pitifully.

Concubine Gui suddenly became furious. She quickly walked up to the kneeling old lady and kicked her, causing her to fall to the ground.

She kicked and cursed: "You old bitch, you dare to speak for that bitch, I must beat you to death today..."

"Don't hit the nanny." The fifth prince suddenly stood up and threw himself on the old nanny, using his thin body to block the kick from Concubine Gui.

"You evil creature, you want to die, right? Today I will grant your wish. You can go and accompany your bitch mother today." Concubine Gui grinned and said, "I have raised you for so many years, I am fed up with it. It's time for you and your son to be reunited..."

She turned and walked into the inner room. When she came out, she was holding an oil-paper bag in her hand. She sprinkled the powder in the oil-paper bag into a tea bowl filled with tea and shook it. She slowly walked to the old man and the child who had been kicked by her and could not move.

"Drink it..." Concubine Gui looked at the fifth prince with a grim smile and said, "Drink it and you will be free. You will no longer be beaten, scolded, or hungry every day..."

"You dare to kill the prince? My royal brother will not let you go." Although the fifth prince was afraid, he still shouted with a stern face.

"The Emperor?" Concubine Gui giggled, "If you die, the Emperor will have one less person to compete with him for the throne. He might even thank me..."

Suddenly, the door of the palace was kicked open from the outside, and the emperor walked in first, followed by the emperor and Huang Ye.

The retired emperor has lost a lot of weight and looks much more agile. Just now, when he walked to the door, he heard the treasonous words said by Concubine Gui. How could he bear it? He kicked the door open.

Concubine Gui, who was holding a bowl of poison, obviously felt that something was wrong. She made up her mind and wanted to pour the poison into her mouth.

Before Huang Ye could make a move, Eunuch Yu suddenly jumped out from behind and grabbed her arm holding the poison, and the bowl of poison was taken away by him without even a trace of movement.

Concubine Gui collapsed to the ground. The emperor stepped forward and kicked her: "You vicious woman, you dare to poison the prince, do you want to kill all your clans? I thought you were a good person, thinking that the child was weak, so I sent you all the good medicines..."

When Concubine Gui heard about the execution of the entire clan, she trembled with fear. She had also heard about the trouble caused by Xuan Chengzi a few days ago. She collapsed and climbed up, hugged the legs of the retired emperor and begged: "Retired emperor, for the sake of my many years of serving you, please let my family go. I am willing to die to apologize..."

Huang Ye, who was squatting down to check on the Fifth Prince and the old nanny, couldn't help but curl his lips. Now he was scared. Why didn't he think of such consequences when he did bad things? Some people are just bad and stupid...

"Empress..." Hongdou, who was squatting on the ground, looked at Huang Ye worriedly. She had just seen that the Empress stuffed a pill into the mouths of the two people respectively. The two people were also surprised and swallowed it without any hesitation.

"The Fifth Prince has suffered serious internal injuries. You are weak to begin with, so this is for your healing. Don't let anyone know that I gave you the pills..." As for the rest, she knew that the Fifth Prince was smart enough to understand what she meant.

The Fifth Prince nodded weakly and forced a smile at her. The old nanny's face was filled with surprise and gratitude. Concubine Huang had also fed her a pill just now, and she felt much lighter now.

Hongdou and Huangye worked together to help the two men stand up. The retired emperor was still furious and kicked Concubine Gui to the ground, while the emperor stood there with a sullen face and didn't move.

"Old Yu, all the palace servants serving in this hall, except this maid, will be executed." This was the first sentence the emperor said when he came in.

Now the palace maids who had been subdued by Eunuch Yu and his men were frightened and started crying. They cried and begged, but it was all useless and they were taken away by Eunuch Yu.

Huang Ye did not sympathize with these people at all. If it were not for their selfishness, this matter would not have fermented to this point. Even when Concubine Gui wanted to poison the Fifth Prince just now, there was someone who stood up to stop her. It was considered that he had not lost his conscience. Their cold-bloodedness just now had already led to their end.

"Old Yu, send Concubine Gui to the Ministry of Punishment and tell them to whip her a hundred times every day and not let anyone die. You go and take charge of this matter in person." The emperor made a quick decision in his mind.

"Also, all three clans of Concubine Gui's family will be exiled and their property confiscated, and they will never be allowed to return." Eunuch Yu quickly agreed and ran out. This Concubine Gui actually dared to murder the prince in the palace. The emperor was merciful not to kill her nine clans.

Xiao Yinzi brought a few sturdy eunuchs and quickly stripped off Concubine Gui's headdress and outer clothes, and then dragged her out like a dead pig.

The Emperor walked up to the Fifth Prince and bent down: "Fifth Prince, does it hurt? Can you walk?"

"Yes." The Fifth Prince answered in a low voice. The pill that Concubine Huang had fed him just now had taken effect. He felt that his body was not as painful as before.

"Thank you, Huang's girl. If it weren't for you, this child might not be alive today..." The emperor's voice was very sad. If it weren't for this girl's cleverness and willingness to take care of this matter...

"You're welcome. This is also the fate between me and the Fifth Prince." Huang Ye was in a good mood after saving someone. He smiled and replied, "The key point now is that we can't live here anymore. We have to settle the Fifth Prince first."

Huang Ye's meaning was very clear. This place was the Fifth Prince's nightmare. For the sake of the child's physical and mental health, he should move out. Besides, all the servants here were sentenced to death. How could a six or seven-year-old child not be afraid?

The emperor was still thinking about whether it would be appropriate to give the fifth child to the concubine to raise, but the emperor said: "The fifth child should live in the Qiyun Palace for the time being. This child needs to be taken care of. I am worried about him living somewhere else."

Huang Ye looked at the retired emperor with satisfaction. Just as she thought, she also hoped that the Fifth Prince would live in Yun Palace. The retired emperor knew that she was a doctor, so when she gave acupuncture to the retired emperor, she could also regulate the Fifth Prince's body at the same time.
