Chapter 193 Zhu Qunying, Actually I am not your master
Concubine Rong was just thinking too simply, Emperor Qingyuan looked at her coldly and scolded her.
"Noble Concubine Rong committed adultery in the palace. I will banish her to the cold palace and never see her again in my life."
Concubine Rong suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Spend your whole life in the cold palace, which is the tomb of the living dead.
If she went there, she might as well die.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! I beg you!"
Emperor Qingyuan waved his hand, and two eunuchs lifted up Concubine Rong and took her out.
Chu Li stood outside Concubine Rong's palace, listening calmly to the noise inside.
Concubine Rong was escorted to the cold palace.
When Concubine Shu saw her, she smiled faintly, "Madam Concubine Rong, we meet again so soon."
She had expected that since Xiao Dezi had already gone to the prince, Concubine Rong's affair could not be hidden for too long.
Concubine Rong sneered, "Humph, Concubine Shu, you laughed too early. Don't forget that I have a brother who holds military power. What do you have? Just wait to die of old age in the cold palace!"
Concubine Shu ignored her and calmly thought about the prince's next move.
Rong Xiong is not easy to deal with, how will the prince turn the tide?
On the other side, Rong Xiong brought his men to Jingzhao Prefecture. His voice was rough and his attitude was arrogant.
"Zhang Zhilong, come out! How dare the people from the Flying Eagle Gang frame my sister? Come, take them all away!"
Zhang Zhilong said calmly, "My Lord, I am currently investigating this case, and the witnesses cannot be taken away!"
Rong Xiong sneered, "Zhang Zhilong, I know you are impartial, but are you sure your servants can resist my Rongwei Army?"
Zhang Zhilong was calm and frankly admitted, "I can't win, but if you want to capture someone, bring the imperial edict. If you don't have it, you can only step over my body!"
Rong Xiong sneered, "Do you think I don't dare?"
Zhang Zhilong took out a token from his waist and said, "I am sure you don't dare!"
When Rong Xiong saw Ye Hanting's Xuanyuan Order, his arrogance instantly subsided and his scalp went numb.
When did Ye Hanting support Zhang Zhilong?
Isn’t Zhang Zhilong the prince’s man?
It seems that the rumors are true, Ye Hanting is a member of the prince's party.
Rong Xiong knew what Xuanyuan Ling represented. He couldn't confront him head-on, so he could only say, "Zhang Zhilong, I'll keep this account in your book!"
Zhang Zhilong sneered. There were so many people who wanted to kill him, so he didn't care about having one more Rong Xiong.
He looked at the Xuanyuan Order in his hand. The Xuanyuan Order of the Grand Tutor was so useful!
Fortunately, I have the Xuanyuan Order in my hand today, otherwise Rong Xiong would have really taken the witness away forcefully.
Rong Xiong returned to his mansion, preparing to break into the prison at night, but before he could even sit down, he received news from the palace.
"My Lord, something bad has happened. Someone from the Imperial Concubine's palace has come and said that the Imperial Concubine was committing adultery in the palace and was caught by His Majesty. She has been banished to the cold palace!"
"What!" Rong Xiong was instantly furious. His sister was so confused!
How could she do such an unchaste thing? This concerns Your Majesty's dignity. No wonder Your Majesty is so angry.
He immediately changed into court robes and told his guards, "Prepare the horses to enter the palace!"
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
A quarter of an hour later, Rong Xiong came to the palace and asked to see the emperor.
But the eunuch told him that His Majesty was currently worried about the affairs of the Murong clan and would not see anyone.
Rong Xiong thought of his sister in the cold palace and of how His Majesty had once asked him to send troops to deal with the Murong tribe.
But he declined on the grounds that he was injured on the battlefield.
In order to save his sister today, it seems he has to compromise.
Rong Xiong sighed and said, "Go tell His Majesty that I came here because of the Murong tribe."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
The eunuch returned not long after and said respectfully, "Your Majesty wants to see the Marquis."
Rong Xiong went to the imperial study to meet Emperor Qingyuan.
He looked guilty, "Your Majesty, I am willing to wipe out the Murong clan."
Emperor Qingyuan's eyes lit up, "But my dear, you have a chronic illness, it's not suitable."
Rong Xiong said sincerely: "My sister was confused for a moment and was framed by a traitor. She absolutely has no intention of betraying Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to release Concubine Rong. I, Rong Xiong, am willing to lead the army to attack the Murong clan today!"
Emperor Qingyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "My dear minister, if your body does not allow it, you do not have to force yourself. Major General Mu Feng of the Mu family has signed a military order and has volunteered to go and wipe them out."
Rong Xiong knew that only by going into battle himself could he protect Concubine Rong and allow her to leave the cold palace safely.
He insisted, "Your Majesty, General Mu Feng is young after all. I am willing to issue a military order and will not return until Mu Rong is defeated!"
Emperor Qingyuan said in embarrassment: "But I am still worried about your injury, forget it!"
Rong Xiong lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, please give me a chance to redeem myself for my sister."
Emperor Qingyuan came over and helped him up. "My dear, Concubine Rong really chilled my heart. If it weren't for your deep brotherly love, I would have told her that we would never see each other again in this life. Since you insist on doing so, I can only release her from the cold palace for the sake of the royal family's face and still give her the honor of a concubine. But my dear, remember, I did this because of your loyalty to the emperor and your patriotism."
Rong Xiong nodded, "Yes, I appreciate your majesty's magnanimity and will do my best to wipe out the Murong clan."
Emperor Qingyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you, my dear minister."
After Rong Xiong left, Emperor Qingyuan walked to the table with a calm expression and looked at Eunuch Li.
"Go, release Concubine Rong and let her meet her brother."
Eunuch Li nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Li caught up with Rong Xiong and took him to personally take Concubine Rong out of the cold palace.
Concubine Rong looked at Concubine Shu with pride and said harshly, "Bitch, just wait to die of old age in the cold palace!"
Concubine Shu looked at Concubine Rong's back and thought to herself: This woman relied on her brother to enjoy wealth and glory and avoided disasters time and time again.
However, people's luck will not always be so good.
Rong Xiong solemnly gave Concubine Rong some instructions and then left the palace.
Concubine Rong turned a deaf ear to her brother's words and returned to her palace in a triumphant manner.
On the other side, in the prison.
Zhu Qunying let out a scream, and the two taels of flesh under his body were castrated.
He looked at his bloody lower body and yelled, "Kill me now if you have the guts!"
Emperor Qingyuan turned him into a half-human, half-ghost, without a home or dignity.
He had had enough of this kind of life worse than death.
Anyway, he had slept with Emperor Qingyuan's woman, so he had taken revenge.
As the first man in the history of the Chu State to cheat on the emperor, he no longer had any wishes.
In an instant, all the people in the prison were out.
Eunuch Li came in alone.
Zhu Qunying looked around and found no one, then said weakly: "Master, I have avenged my great vengeance. I will thank you for your kindness in my next life..."
Eunuch Li looked at him calmly.
"Zhu Qunying, I am not your master."
Zhu Qunying was stunned. He was shaking with pain and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is that? Who has been helping me?"
