Qi Ziyan, who was standing by the side, suddenly thought of what his father said a long time ago. He said that he should never argue with Dongfang Ye. Even though he was usually taciturn, at critical moments, he could be eloquent and eloquent, and most importantly, he could hit the nail on the head.
Going straight to his weak point, even the emperor who thought he was full of knowledge was no match for him, let alone others.
"Now that we have said this, I would like to ask Empress De Fei. The empress had already seen the imperial edict at that time. Why did she still stop Her Royal Highness from detoxifying the emperor? Could it be that the empress did not want the emperor to wake up at all?" Who dares to do so in front of her?
When complaining in front of others, even the third prince who has his own way will think carefully about what he says, but Dongfang Ye does not. Many times, this person is very pure, and there is a clear line between black and white. He will not worry about the occasion when he thinks he should say something, especially this one.
The occasion is still that of a concubine in the harem.
"You are presumptuous." His Highness the Fifth Prince, who had been standing by the side with clenched fists, finally spoke. Before they came over, Concubine De had told him not to speak at will, just to watch from the side, but looking at herself
Qi Zijie really couldn't swallow the fact that his mother-in-law was so slandered.
No one noticed that Dongfang Ye's eyes flashed when he heard Qi Zijie's rage.
"Your Highness, Fifth Highness, did Wei Chen say something wrong? His Highness Five was also present at that time. Doctor Chen had already said that no one else could save the Emperor except His Highness. Concubine De still stopped her, or she was worried about Prince Lu Ming after the Emperor woke up.
His identity will be confirmed, and then..." Dongfang Ye said this to Qi Ziyan, with a hint of mocking provocation in his half-smiling expression, as if he was mocking his prince for having finished his dream.
"Who are you, dare to slander my mother and concubine like this? Don't think that my father thinks highly of you, you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand." Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Qi Zijie jumped up, as if
After being greatly humiliated, he angrily growled at Dongfang Ye, "You are just a lackey around my father, and you still dare to show off your power to me. When I get to the cauldron one day, I will definitely kill you."
If you can’t live, you can’t die.”
"Zijie!" Concubine De roared, and Qi Zijie seemed to wake up from a dream. His pupils suddenly shrank, and when he saw his father's face filled with frost, he knelt on the ground with a thud and gasped submissively, "My son is talking nonsense."
I beg you, father, not to take it to heart, my son is talking nonsense."
In the huge room, the sound of silent breathing struck everyone's heart. No one spoke. The emperor just looked at his son with a cold face. This son was not his favorite, but he was the one he had with him for the longest time.
Yes, because Concubine De was born in the Ji family, he had always been very protective of the mother and son. Concubine De lived in seclusion and was a completely different person from Ji Mengxian. Just because she had the surname Ji on her head, she got his
Special treatment.
He thought that this dignified and quiet woman could understand his intentions, but it was not until much later that he discovered that he was wrong. Not everyone understood his heart as well as Ji Mengxian, and what Concubine De wanted from the beginning was to be the crown prince.
position, even though she knew that her cruel and cruel son was not suitable to be an emperor, she still wanted to send her son to the position of prince, and wanted the Ji family to be the mother's family of the prince. This woman had great ambitions.
In the past, he thought women like Concubine Xue were hateful. She was mean and domineering, but now it seems that compared with Concubine De, a real villain like her is really gentle. Only people like Concubine De don't know that.
When will I give you a knife? The so-called gentle knife, isn't that what it means?
"Did you inject the poison?" Ling Emperor's words shocked everyone present.
Dongfang Ye and Qi Ziyan looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both saw surprise and admiration in each other's eyes. Both of them understood the emperor's actions, and he was always the most evidence-based. Others had just woken up, so naturally no one would compare these few people to each other.
God told him everything, so why would he doubt De Fei?
The two of them withdrew their gazes and thought to themselves that it seemed that the emperor had already suspected Concubine De, and had just been waiting for something, but they did not expect that she would be so bold and poisonous. I am afraid that this move was also unexpected.
The emperor didn't expect it, otherwise he would never have been tricked so easily.
"No concubine, who is whispering in the emperor's ears? This is slander, absolutely slander." Concubine De shouted excitedly. Seeing the emperor's disbelief, she kowtowed her head again and again, without caring about her forehead.
There was a slightly red patch on my face, and I was complaining loudly.
"Father, my mother and concubine don't have it. My mother and concubine would not do such a thing." Qi Zijie was obviously frightened. Before he could recover from what he just blurted out, he heard his father questioning his mother and concubine.
Immediately speak for Empress De, because he will never believe that his mother poisoned his father.
"Then tell me, who poisoned you?" Ling Emperor was very calm. He looked at the big bump on De Concubine's forehead and said calmly without any pity, "De Concubine, I really underestimated you."
Dongfang Ye frowned slightly. He originally thought that the emperor was just lying, but now it seemed more like he had some evidence. Otherwise, the emperor would never have said it so categorically, as if... it was already an ironclad fact.
"Your Majesty, I don't have it, I really don't..." Concubine De shook her head desperately, her hair was messed up and fell down, her tears blurred her delicate makeup, and she was in a state of embarrassment, but she just murmured in denial, "I really don't have it..."
No, the emperor must trust me."
"I don't want to see you again..." Emperor Ling waved his hands tiredly. Concubine De couldn't help crying, but Qi Zijie stared blankly at this inexplicable conversation, wondering what went wrong and why he was with him
Completely different than imagined.
"I still care about the relationship between husband and wife. After all... you are her cousin." Emperor Ling's voice seemed to have grown older all of a sudden. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I have been with you for many years. How could I conspire against you..." Concubine De walked to the emperor's bedside on her knees, grabbed the emperor's hand, and cried, "I have been with you since I was a teenager.
Doesn’t the emperor know what kind of person I am next to the emperor? I am a concubine..."
The emperor who had his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, but did not turn to Concubine De. Instead, he looked at the bed curtain and said calmly: "Go back and tell Ji Boping that I have shown mercy to the Ji family for Mengxian's sake.
If he persists in his stubbornness, I will have no choice but to feel sorry for Mengxian."
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has misunderstood. I have not..." Concubine De seemed to be pinned down. She stiffened for a few seconds and then screamed, "It's really not... Your Majesty..."
But Emperor Ling's words made Concubine De swallow all her words, leaving only despair in her eyes, and the only voice left in her ears was the emperor:
"Do you really think that I don't know whose son Zi Jie is?"
