Zhao Hongling didn't know what she had done wrong. When she left, Concubine Rong was quite easy-going to her. Why did she suddenly become like this?
She asked carefully: "Your Majesty, did Hongling do anything wrong? I hope your Majesty will give you some advice."
Concubine Rong Gui thought Zhao Hongling was pretending to be stupid, so she was so angry that she picked up the tea cup and threw it at Zhao Hongling.
"You still dare to pretend! Tell me, who instigated you to do it! If you tell the truth, everyone will still have a way to live, otherwise, the entire Zhao family will be deprived of water by you!"
Zhao Hongling did not dare to hide and was hit on the head by a water glass. She did not care about the pain on her forehead and asked in fear: "Your Majesty, I really don't know what went wrong. Please let me go!"
"
Concubine Rong kicked her again in confusion and said angrily: "The emperor was fine before you came. After you left, the emperor seemed like a crazy beast. He took enough from the maids waiting in the house and even ran into the yard.
He pulled the maid outside, and finally, finally, he passed out with bleeding from his lower body! Tell me, did you do this?"
Zhao Hongling finally understood what was going on. She kept shaking her head and explained: "My dear concubine, how could I do such a thing? If something happens to the Zhao family, I will have no way to survive! Besides, everything from my home to the palace belongs to my grandfather.
Man, how could I?"
Concubine Rong was stunned and subconsciously thought, could it be her grandfather who sent someone to poison her?
She was suddenly frightened by her thoughts, shook her head and said: "Impossible! The imperial doctor is treating the emperor in the back now, you can continue to kneel here! No matter who it is, you can only admit defeat! Anyway, the Zhao family
Nothing can happen!"
Zhao Hongling knew that she was going to be sacrificed, so she cried and tried to pull off Concubine Rong's clothes, "Concubine Rong, please let me go! I am innocent! Please!"
"How dare you! You dare to accuse me, my scoundrel grandfather, come on, give me a hard beating!"
However, when Concubine Rong Gui and Zhao Hongling appeared again, all Emperor Liang's pain turned into anger!
He pointed at the two women in front of him and cursed angrily: "Women have the most poisonous hearts! I, I will destroy all nine of your tribes!"
At the same time, Liang Jingyao put the tiles back and followed him to the backyard.
Emperor Liang did not let Master Zhao get up, and said in a cold tone: "Master Zhao, do you think that I have accepted so many concubines, and will marry the queen next, and then Concubine Rong Gui and Zhao Hongling have not given birth to a son, so you guys
The Zhao family can’t sit still, can they?”
Master Zhao knew that this matter must have been framed by someone, but the bad thing is that it happened in Jinhua Palace. Inside and outside, it was either the emperor's people or his own people. Now he can't explain it no matter how he tries!
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor!" Taishi Zhao knelt on the ground respectfully, not even daring to raise his head.
He kowtowed desperately on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, I have always been innocent towards the Emperor. There must be a traitor in what happened today! I feel that the top priority is to seal the palace and catch the traitor!"
Emperor Liang asked with a dark face: "So, this is how you repay me? Master Zhao, you have been sitting in this position for too long and don't know who you are anymore, so you even dare to poison! You Zhao family are tired of living.
?"
Concubine Rong became more and more angry as she listened. To be honest, the emperor announced to Zhao Hongling more times than he turned over his own cards! She had been unable to conceive because the emperor never came to Jinhua Palace!
I gained nothing from my great years! They were all wasted in this Jinhua Palace!
Zhao Hongling woke up from a coma. She didn't hear clearly what Master Zhao said, but she knew that only Master Zhao could save her!
When Emperor Liang heard Concubine Rong mentioning Grand Master Zhao, the anger in his heart subsided a little. However, there were only these people in Jinhua Palace, and the entire palace had strengthened patrols several times. Who else had the ability to do so unnoticed?
Sneaking in?
Concubine Rong wanted to wake up Zhao Hongling and continue beating her, but someone from the backyard came to send a message and asked Concubine Rong and Zhao Hongling to come together.
After a while, Grand Master Zhao hurried to the palace. This was probably the most embarrassing time for him since he became an official!
Therefore, Concubine Rong had to swallow her breath temporarily and let Zhao Hongling be dragged to the backyard.
Emperor Liang seemed to have heard a joke and asked: "Then tell me, who is the traitor? What does he look like? Where is he hiding?"
Grand Master Zhao knelt on the ground and shook his head repeatedly: "No, I would never dare to have such an idea! Hong Ling and Hong Jin can serve the emperor, that is their blessing!"
However, Zhao Hongling was knocked unconscious.
"Come, go and invite Grand Master Zhao!" Emperor Liang ordered through gritted teeth.
Concubine Rong kicked Zhao Hongling's hand away with a look of indifference, "I can only blame you for seducing the emperor. Otherwise, why would the emperor often announce your entry into the palace? My good Jinhua Palace has been turned into a mess by you.
Just kneel here and repent!"
After Concubine Rong gave the order, the two rough ladies picked up sticks and hit Zhao Hongling on the body.
In the same secluded room as before, Emperor Liang had already woken up. The pain in his lower body left him with little energy to speak.
Zhao Hongling said unwillingly: "Empress! You don't know what your grandfather meant at the beginning. He saw that you had nothing to do, so he came up with this idea. If I can conceive a dragon seed, then I will send it to the palace to raise for you!
You know all this! Why is it all being blamed on me now?"
The sound of "Pah, pah, pah!" made Concubine Rong's resentment dissipate a lot.
Concubine Rong was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she lost all her arrogance. She knelt on the ground and begged: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me! I have never come here, and everyone in the kitchen is from the imperial kitchen.
This person, from beginning to end, was the fault of Zhao Hongling alone! I hope the emperor will take back his life for the sake of my grandfather!"
She desperately pulled the corner of Taishi Zhao's clothes and cried: "Grandpa, Hongling is really unjust! I am really innocent!"
Grandmaster Zhao was choked for words and didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, walked up to Zhao Hongling, slapped him in the face, and cursed angrily: "Tell me! Were you deceived by that boy Zheng Jiacheng? That's why you did such a bold thing!"
Grand Master Zhao bent down, winked at Zhao Hongling, and continued: "Grandpa, I want to ask you, last time you met Zheng Jiacheng, did he give you anything? Let you enter the palace to poison the emperor?"
Zhao Hongling fell to the ground. She knew that her grandfather had given up on her to protect the Zhao family!
She nodded with dull eyes and said, "Yes! It's Zheng Jiacheng from the eldest princess's palace! He promised that after I ascend the throne in the future, he would make me queen and let me help him poison him."
Emperor Liang was not a fool. He knew that the grandfather and grandson were lying, but this seemed to get rid of the thorn in his side!
"Come here! Put the eldest princess Mingzhu and Zheng Jiacheng in prison, and they will be executed at the Meridian Gate three days later!"
