Although Wu Shian felt that the expressions of the guards seemed to be a little strange, he thought that these guards had strange expressions because they found out about his scandal, so he didn't think too much about it. However, this caused the last trace of guilt in his heart to vanish into thin air.
He thought viciously in his heart, "Xian Fei is right. These bumpkins must not be left alive. Now they dare to laugh at me secretly. In the future, won't they spread my scandal to the world? These scourges must be eradicated immediately and shut their mouths forever. "
Wu Shian walked out of the guardhouse under the fake warm send-off of the guards. He said to Wu Gui, "Wu Gui, you'll stay here on behalf of me and treat my brothers well." Then he swaggered away.
The targets he wanted to kill were not only these guards, but also those servants who saw the scandal between him and Xian Fei, as well as his several concubines.
Since he decided to take action, he would not hesitate at all. Under his command, Xiaoliuzi and more than a dozen of the Wu Family's servants became bloody butchers.
That night, the Wu Family became a Shura hell. Seven of Wu Shian's concubines and 137 servants died.
The deaths of these people were all pushed to the assassins led by Guo Ran. After they failed to assassinate the Concubine, they became fierce and killed innocent people.
The only thing that puzzled Wu Shian was that Wu Gui sent a message saying that the plan had been successful. He would send the corpses of Zhang Ping and other guards to the mass grave outside the city overnight to destroy the corpses. Then, he never came back.
However, he didn't care about it. Wu Gui was his most trusted person. Besides, the city gate had been blocked. It was normal that he couldn't come back for the time being.
Until the third day, the people in the city who didn't know the truth complained. County Magistrate Zhang couldn't bear the pressure and had to open the city gate, but Wu Gui didn't appear. Wu Shian realized that something was wrong and quickly sent people to the mass grave outside the city to search. However, they found Wu Gui's corpse, but the corpses of the guards were nowhere to be found.
This made Wu Shian worried, but he didn't dare to report to Xian Fei, who had become moody because of the delay in catching Guo Ran. He was afraid of being scolded by her. He could only comfort himself in his heart that even if those guards escaped, they wouldn't dare to say it casually.
After all, that was the Imperial Consort. Even if they said it out, no one would believe them without solid evidence.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, Wu Shian still spent a lot of money to secretly hire many experts to search for traces of Zhang Ping and the others. Once they were found, they would be killed without mercy.
Five days later, as the date of Concubine Xian's family visit was approaching, she had no choice but to return to the imperial city and explain to the Emperor according to the reason she had thought of. A vigorous farce seemed to have come to an end, and Zeyang City regained its former tranquility.
The calm surface of Zeyang City was surging with undercurrents. This storm, led and driven by the Mei in the dark, was destined to not subside. In the end, it would become more and more intense, and with an unstoppable force, it would sweep across the entire Heaven Ancient Imperial Court.
Heaven Ancient Calendar Year 778, Heaven Ancient Dynasty, Crown Prince conferment ceremony.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, a video suddenly appeared in the sky, clearly recording the scene that happened in the Wu Family that night. This made the proud Concubine Xian's face instantly turn ashen.
The court officials were in an uproar. The current emperor, Emperor Wanlong, was furious. He coldly stared at Concubine Xian, stood up, and left on the spot. The conferment ceremony was also interrupted because of this.
Only Wang Zihao, who was about to become the crown prince, was left standing there in a daze. His face alternated between green and red. He felt that everyone was looking at him with eyes full of ridicule.
That video was like a bolt from the blue, making his heart fall from the peak to the abyss. He knew that he was finished. Even if he was not condemned, because of his mother who dared to bring shame to the royal family, he would never have the chance to be the Emperor in this life.
Presumably, his second brother, Li, who had always been at odds with him, was currently gloating over his misfortune. He subconsciously turned his head to look, only to discover that Li, who had always been amiable on the outside, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Only then did he suddenly realize that with this scandal exposed, the one who had lost all hope of ascending to the top was not only him, but also his own younger brother.
The imperial concubine had an affair, and the royal family was shamed. Such a big gossip immediately spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire Heaven Ancient Imperial Court.
In Zeyang County, County Magistrate Zhang, who was complacent and glad that he had hugged a thick thigh, sat on the ground with an ashen face after hearing the news. His face was full of despair.
He had latched onto the wrong thigh. Now, forget about being promoted, it was unknown whether he could even keep his head. He was utterly disheartened and let out a resentful roar, "Wu Shian, you've killed me!"
His resentful Wu Shian was even worse than him at this moment. His whole body was like a pool of mud on the ground. His eyes were straight and his face was pale. Thinking of the terrible consequences of his entire family being about to be executed, he closed his eyes in despair.
That night, without waiting for the Emperor to question her, Concubine Xian lost her soul and muttered "just a little bit, just a little bit" like a psychopath. With a bitter smile, she took out a white silk and wanted to hang herself to death.
But the Mei had painstakingly planned for so long, how could she let her off so easily? She saved her when she was about to suffocate to death, and calmly told her her identity.
Subsequently, the Mei's series of actions made Concubine Xian understand what was called the cycle of heaven and retribution.
The Wanlong Emperor received a report from the eunuch who was sent to order Concubine Xian's death. He said that Concubine Xian had actually escaped, and the various clues left at the scene indicated that this was done by the two princes under Concubine Xian.
This made the Wanlong Emperor suddenly furious. He sent troops to arrest the two princes, and in a violent rage, he said a ruthless sentence, "Life and death are not allowed."
Hao and Li grew up in the cold and ruthless palace, and were influenced by Concubine Xian. How could there be any kinship between them? Right now, they hated this unfaithful mother who implicated them, so how could they save her?
But the informant they sent had already sent back news that their father, the Emperor, had determined that it was them who did it. Not only did he send troops to arrest them, but he also issued a death order to kill them.
But they didn't know that under the control of the Mei, the informant had changed the four words without permission, so that the two princes who had always been fighting openly and secretly united, decided to take the risk and seize the throne.
As the princes who could compete for the position of Crown Prince, they naturally had their own henchmen. In addition, the ministers who had been betting on them were afraid of being affected afterwards. After weighing the pros and cons, they resolutely joined the ranks of the rebellion.
As a result, since the founding of the Ancient Heaven Dynasty, the largest rebellion has opened in the Imperial City.
The Wanlong Emperor did not expect these two unfilial sons to be so audacious. Caught off guard, his troops were forced to retreat step by step, and were forced to defend the Imperial Palace.
If it weren't for the Imperial Guards that Eunuch Xia had secretly trained for him to turn the tide at the critical moment and become the strongest line of defense, I'm afraid that the two unfilial sons would have succeeded in usurping the throne.
That night, blood flowed like a river, and the sounds of fighting shook the sky. More than half of the entire Imperial City was controlled by the rebel army, and the Wu family dynasty was facing the most dangerous situation in history.
The Mei quietly stood on a high-rise building, like a queen in the night, overlooking the scene that she had personally directed.
"What the hell do you want? Every debt has a debtor. I was the one who did it back then, and it has nothing to do with my son. If you have any hatred, come at me. "
Xian Fei, who was paralyzed on the side, revealed a look of despair as she gnashed her teeth and said.
"Back then, after you killed my mother, will you let me go?"
The corner of the Mei's mouth hooked up in a mocking arc as she said indifferently.
Xian Fei was suddenly at a loss for words. She had always pursued the principle of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots. After killing the Mei's mother, how could she leave behind a vile spawn like the Mei?
Unfortunately, she did not expect that halfway through, Li Muyuan would suddenly appear and escape with the Mei. After that, she sent countless people to pursue and kill them, but in the end, they returned without success, causing her to feel regret in her heart.
"So, do you think I will let your son go?"
The Mei said coldly and mercilessly, "Revenge is an art. A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, only then can hatred be best satisfied."
"So, it was you who caused my reputation to be ruined, my two sons to rebel, be crowned with the crime of rebellion, and bring disaster to my nine clans."
Xian Fei looked at the Mei in shock and fear, and shouted involuntarily.
"Yes, it's been eighteen years. Day and night, I have been thinking about how to use the most satisfying way to revenge. Now, I have done it."
The Mei looked indifferently at Xian Fei's frightened eyes and said as if she was talking in a dream, "Back then, you framed my mother for adultery, provoking Emperor Wanlong to sentence her to death. Now, I am just giving you a taste of your own medicine. It's just that my mother is innocent, and you are a shameless slut. I will not only ruin your reputation, but also wash away my mother's injustice and prove her innocence."
"Hehehe, so, you left me alive because you want me to open my mouth to wash away your mother's injustice? Hehehe, dream on. Even if I die, I will never prove that slut's innocence. "
Xian Fei laughed hysterically when she heard this, and tears fell from her eyes.
The Mei did not speak and just looked at her quietly. It was too easy for such a vicious woman to be killed directly.
"Do you know? I entered the palace at the age of sixteen. How much bitterness and suffering did I finally see the hope of becoming an Imperial Concubine? Your mother was only my maidservant at that time, but why? I am not uglier than her, and my family cannot be compared to hers. Originally, the position of Imperial Concubine was destined to be mine, but the Emperor took a fancy to her and was obsessed with her. He even conferred her the title of Imperial Concubine and took away the opportunity that should have belonged to me. Why? I am not reconciled. She is only a lowly maidservant, how can she step on my head? She must die, she must die, and she must die with her reputation ruined. Only when people mention her will they despise her will I be able to eliminate the hatred in my heart. "
Xian Fei's pretty face was distorted, her eyes flashed with viciousness, and she screamed hysterically.
"So, you sent your family's death warriors to frequently go in and out of my mother's palace, and deliberately let the Emperor see it, making the Emperor suspicious, and thus laying the groundwork for you to frame my mother."
The Mei did not understand what happened in the past, but with her wisdom, she could easily guess the truth. The person who was mistaken by the Emperor as an adulterer was definitely Xian Fei's person.
"Yes, the Emperor is a person who is ungrateful, his mind is deep, and his nature is the most suspicious. Even if he dotes on your mother, he will never make things clear. He will only beat around the bush to get information from your mother. But your mother has never seen the person I sent, so he naturally can't say anything in front of the Emperor. This will make the Emperor even more jealous and suspicious, and in the end, my plan can be carried out perfectly."
Xian Fei said proudly. To be able to use the weakness of human nature, to lead Emperor Wanlong by the nose step by step, and finally, not only to eradicate Concubine Yuan, the thorn in his side, but also to successfully make herself an Imperial Concubine, this was the thing she was most proud of.
The sense of accomplishment of playing people in the palm of her hand made her forget her current situation and immerse herself in the most successful plot of her life.
