Seeing Princess Rui's desperate and desolate look, Prince Rui suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
He shook his head and said: "Why do you do this to yourself? You can obviously just poison me to death, you don't have to take the poison!"
Princess Rui closed her eyes in despair, "Because you have destroyed my hope and my sustenance, what is the meaning of my life? Maybe death is a kind of relief for me, so that bottle of poison,
Half of you, half of me, we will die together and go down together to be with our children."
Upon hearing this, King Rui was so shocked that he could not speak.
He looked at Princess Rui, and a strange emotion suddenly flashed in his heart.
Speaking of this, Princess Rui said again: "But before I die, I want to tell you that I was wrongly accused that time. I didn't kill Liu Qingqing at all, she framed me!"
"What?" Prince Rui's pupils widened. He could feel that Princess Rui didn't lie this time. What she said was true.
"If you don't believe it, I can ask Liu Qingqing to confront you." Princess Rui said, and suddenly used all her strength to shout, "Xuemei, bring Liu Qingqing here!"
"Yes." Xuemei said, winking at the jailer next to her, and the jailer walked into Liu Qingqing's cell and brought her over.
As soon as she was brought over, Liu Qingqing saw Princess Rui dressed in black.
She was now very afraid of Princess Rui, so she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a plop and said hurriedly: "Sister, why are you here?"
As she said that, she looked at the two of them again.
When she saw the black blood at the corners of their mouths, she was even more shocked, "Sister, Prince, what's wrong with you? Why are you vomiting blood?"
Princess Rui covered her chest and said coldly: "You don't need to worry about this. Liu Qingqing, let me ask you, did I assassinate you last time in your room?"
At this time, Prince Rui also stared at Liu Qingqing with a sharp expression.
Liu Qingqing knew that lying now would not help, so she quickly said: "You, you didn't assassinate me."
"Then tell me clearly what happened at that time?" Princess Rui said sharply.
Liu Qingqing glanced at Prince Rui guiltily and said hurriedly: "At that time, I was jealous of your reconciliation with the prince. I was afraid that you would steal the prince's favor, so I and Yanyan came up with a bitter plan to frame you. At that time, I pretended to be sick.
, to lure you to see me. When you came to see me, I asked Yanyan to find an excuse to take Xuemei out. Then, I saw the prince walking into the yard, so I took out the dagger under the pillow and stuffed the dagger
In your hand, I stabbed myself while holding your hand again, creating the illusion that you stabbed me."
"What? Are you telling the truth?" Upon hearing this, King Rui's whole body was trembling violently, and his pupils were full of disbelief.
Liu Qingqing nodded fearfully: "Yes, it's all true. Your Majesty, sister, I already know my mistake, please spare my life..."
Now that it's time, she naturally won't tell lies.
In fact, she didn’t really know her mistake, she was just afraid of being retaliated by Princess Rui!
"You! Liu Qingqing, so you lied to me? So, you are the most vicious woman?" Prince Rui stared at Liu Qingqing angrily, his hands shaking violently.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty..." Liu Qingqing said, quickly lowering her head, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Looking at Liu Qingqing's appearance, Prince Rui shook his head tremblingly, "How could this happen? It turns out that the woman I always thought was the gentlest and kindest is actually the most vicious, selfish, and ruthless person. Why is this happening?
"
Having said this, great sadness overflowed from his heart.
He suddenly remembered how cruel he was to Jingyi, how lonely, helpless, and desperate she was, how she was starving and freezing in the woodshed, and how painful she looked when she was covered in blood.
She was so infatuated with him that she was willing to change and accept Liu Qingqing for him.
Unexpectedly, he didn't trust her and even hurt her with his own hands.
Thinking of this, his heart felt like a knife twisting, full of regret.
He suddenly looked at Princess Rui, his eyes turned red, "Jingyi, it turns out the truth is like this. I'm sorry, I wrongly blamed you, I'm sorry..."
As he spoke, he suddenly crawled towards Princess Rui, took hold of Princess Rui's hand, put her hand on her face, and shed painful tears.
Seeing Prince Rui's regretful look, Princess Rui's heart moved and tears welled up.
She looked at him and choked up: "We have been together for so many years? Why don't you want to believe me? You always thought I was vicious and scheming, but have you ever thought about it? I was once innocent, ignorant, gentle and kind.
Little girl."
"Even though I am cruel to others, I have never wanted to hurt you. On the contrary, you are the most cherished person in my heart, so how could I be willing to let you get hurt..."
After hearing this, King Rui blamed himself even more and felt even more uncomfortable.
He regretted: "I'm sorry, Jingyi, I know you are doing it all for me, and I know that the one you cherish most is me. It's all my fault, it's my confusion, I'm not a man, I'm just a beast."
Prince Rui thought of the harm he had done to her and blamed himself so much that he couldn't help himself.
Princess Rui sighed, "It's too late! It's too late to say anything now! I once thought I was the happiest woman in the world, but I didn't know until now that it was all my imagination. It turns out that the person I love most is him
If you don’t trust me and always want to get rid of me, what’s the point of living like this?”
As Princess Rui spoke, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Prince Rui hurriedly hugged her. He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said distressedly: "Jingyi, why are you so stupid? Why do you want to take poison? Just let me die. Why do you do this... why..."
"Husband..." Princess Rui was lying in Prince Rui's arms and suddenly felt a sense of peace. She said quietly, "Now, can I still call you husband?"
"Of course, you are my wife and I am your husband, of course you should call me husband." Prince Rui choked.
Princess Rui chuckled lightly, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes, "Finally, I can finally call you husband. I thought it would never be possible again!"
As she said that, she looked at the moonlight outside the window, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Husband, I suddenly remembered that the day I married you, the peach blossoms on both sides of the street were all in bloom! At that time, those peach blossoms floated into my sedan chair
, they are so beautiful, so beautiful... It would be great if I could go back to that day..."
As she spoke, she vomited another mouthful of blood uncomfortably.
Prince Rui hugged her tightly and said in panic: "Jingyi, stop talking! Quick, do you have the antidote? Take the antidote quickly!"
Princess Rui raised her eyes, looked at Prince Rui faintly, shook her head and said, "Husband, have you forgotten? You said that there is no antidote for this poison..."
