OFFERING CONCUBINES
EPISODE 66 TENSION
(GUANLI HALL)
The atmosphere of the Guanli hall became a little boisterous and tense. The Royal Council consisting of ministers appeared to be present alongside several important nobles. Several governors and tribal leaders invited for the peak of the spring festival were present at the meeting this morning.
Likewise Governor Chie Weiheng from Sichuan province, the father of Consort Chie Yuan who was lying in a coma due to eating poison was in his seat in wrath. That face from the morning was covered in anger and resentment. It's like thirst to kill people. His gaze from earlier was only towards the seat of the governor Qian Lie and his son Qian Ren.
In the same place the governor of Liangsu province, Su Zhue the father of Consort Su Nuo and the leader of the Xian Clan, Xian Bing the father of Consort Xian Wei, Shi Sheng of the Shi je clan territory, was, shi Niang, also the 4th concubine of the Yanzhi king, also seemed to sit back leisurely, looking at the tension that was engulfing the Guanli hall.
All like saving each other's mind over this incident, sitting still and not getting involved in the whirlpool of trouble is a great option right now.
They hide their feelings to secure themselves. Even if there will be a dispute, they will stand in a place where the stronghold may win.
Seeing and observing the development of the problem is of course the wisest thing to do.
Governor Qian Lie, the look on his face was so sour, it all seemed to be cornering Consort Yi, his adopted son.
It was not that he loved Xiao Yi so much, that the girl's life was not important, but everyone seemed to mention Youwu as the origin of the evil made him really annoyed.
Speculation about the motive of the poisoning was as if Youwu wanted to get rid of the concubine in the palace who was one of the forces of each region, in order to weaken the other region.
If it had been done by concubine Yi, it should have been at her command, and in her heart there, how foolish her sacrificial concubine had chosen another concubine to be the victim and did so openly.
He should have targeted the more important person and done it in a way that does not attach the index finger to his own forehead.
Governor Qian Lie really felt annoyed by this incident.
Worst of all, concubine Yi would be punished, then governor Qian was already thinking well, he would wash his hands against this matter. He will voluntarily hand the girl over for the death penalty, in return. There was no intention at all to defend.
He had already dared to pull out his little fangs in front of Governor Qian a few days ago, losing the girl was quite deserved. One day she will find another girl to send as an offering concubine, who is more submissive.
The turmoil of the rumors was unbearable, it could really create chaos and division if not immediately in the redam.
The king's concubines were invited in a special place behind the curtain, along with the queen mother, to be at the front to the right of the king's throne.
They were invited to the Guangli hall in connection with the incident that befell one of their harem members.
All have been present after being invited by the king of Yanzhi himself because according to him at today's hearing they must reveal this crime properly for the sake of justice for all parties.
It is clear that the evidence and facts point to His Majesty's new concubine, and today her fate is determined by this council.
His Majesty arrived, in his great suit, a black shirt with golden dragon embroidery on the back of his arms and chest.
Followed by eunuch Chen, two young eunuchs, Jian's bodyguard and Cun's bodyguard in a distinctive personal bodyguard uniform and a sword at the waist.
He was so majestic and dashing, his stiff face with his chin raised, making the room instantly silent.
All who stood up gave their greetings and respect. Delivering His Highness Yan Yue to his luxurious and majestic throne.
"Today, we gathered specifically to attend the trial related to the poisoning of concubine Chi Yuan." Speak Your Majesty in a slightly loud but authoritative voice.
"I regret this incident, it happened inside the palace. Because this kind of crime is intolerable, whatever the reason" he continued.
"My daughter is dying, so I demand justice for this." Governor Chie Weiheng's red eyes smoldering to governor Qian Lie who was sculpting with hardened jaws.
"Your Majesty, no matter what happens to my daughter, I hereby appeal for the appropriate punishment to pay the suffering that is natural to the perpetrators of this crime. I can't take this incident for granted!"
"I promise, governor Weiheng.you and concubine Yuan will receive justice! I will preside over this trial myself." Reply Your Majesty firmly.
"Put the main suspect and Physician Guo into this room." Eunuch Chen gave the order to the bodyguards.
A short while later, Xiao Yi appeared with firm strides in a dress that was a simple light brown color, His Majesty has sent him a change of clothes, Chu Cu had also helped her clean up before being taken to the Guanli hall.
His Highness was heartless, Xiao Yi was treated like a sick person with a look of death and became the subject of ridicule even though today he stands as a crime suspect.
Xiao Yi's face was straight forward, neither frightened nor agitated anymore. Like saying, even if the sky were to collapse on him, he would not be daunted.
While governor Qian Lie was fascinated by Xiao Yi's harsh appearance, this girl was completely different from the one he had seen in Youwu.
His Majesty and Qian Ren looked at him with the same gaze, just that there was tucked away a different feeling. They are the ones who hold a love for the girl.
Physician Guo and Xiao Yi bowed in reverence to the king's throne. And standing in the middle of the room, became the center of attention of all present.
The concubines were whispering behind the curtains, as if the new concubine was about to meet a tragic fate.
"Tabib Guo, tell me about what concubine Yuan experienced" said His Majesty, his hand gripping the shoulder of his carved throne, really impatient.
"Your Majesty, I have checked the last meal of concubine Yuan. The soup that concubine Yuan ate contained poison." The words the old healer spoke of course made the room low boisterous.
"The person is of course the one who made the soup." Governor Xiang, the father of Consort Mei ambushed. He was the governor of Handong who was indeed known not to have too good a relationship with Governor Qian.
Governor Qian cast his gaze towards governor Xiang, a stern dislike.
The room of the royal court hall was really tense!
