Li Ji was also frightened and did not even dare to see the emperor's reaction.
The concubine's words are more poisonous than the poison in the tea that day...!
Emperor Qingming was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"You s***!"
He struggled to push away the support of Li Ji and the chamberlain, pulled out a long knife from the waist of one of the guards, and slashed at Concubine Rong while his feet were unsteady.
His hand could barely hold the handle of the knife.
Concubine Rong, who was almost crazy, could not escape completely in time, and the knife was barely scratched on her right arm.
But at this time, the pain that was worse than the scratch started from her abdomen and spread to her organs.
Her figure bent down little by little until she fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.
This is the poison in her body starting to act again!
It’s almost this time every day!
However, in this short moment, cold sweat soaked through her middle coat.
"You want to provoke me to kill you?!" Emperor Qingming held up his sword, looked at her condescendingly, and said with an angry smile: "Are you so anxious to go down and reunite with that adulterer?!"
"..." Concubine Rong raised her eyes and looked directly at him, her face looking a bit ferocious due to the pain. She wanted to speak but could not make a complete sound, but her eyes were still full of resentment and sarcasm.
At this point, she knew very well that she had no chance of surviving!
The emperor will never let her go!
My lover is dead and my child is not in the palace... Instead of waiting to be tortured by the emperor, it would be better to have a good time!
At this moment, knowing that there was no chance of survival anymore, no longer thinking about how to survive, no longer thinking about how to get the emperor's forgiveness, and no more options or concerns, she felt that she was not afraid at all.
She just felt pain, very painful.
She just wanted to end all this pain as soon as possible and go see Yue Lang...
It won't hurt anymore when I see Yue Lang...
In this short life, both she and Yue Lang had suffered too much. If it weren't for her, Yue Lang might not have ended up like this...
If he had not met her, he would have married early and had children, and lived a peaceful and smooth life.
In the next life, she will stay with Yue Lang again and make up for Yue Lang...
Concubine Rong was so painful that she almost fainted, crying and sweating.
Her five senses were weakened due to the severe pain, but the emperor's voice was still clearly audible——
"...You are willing to be a pair of desperate mandarin ducks with him, but he may not be willing..."
"I'm afraid you still don't know that he never approaches you for some stupid and ridiculous love..."
"If I guess correctly, Xia Tingzhen used the affair between the two of you as an excuse to threaten you and kill me...haven't you ever thought about how Xia Tingzhen knew about the affair between the two of you? It would be you and
That adulterer was too dirty when he had sex and left something to be found? Rong, I think you are not that stupid yet..."
Grandma Chang, who seemed to have her hearing blocked, couldn't help but echoed in her heart - Yes, if you are really so stupid, why would you imitate others and steal from others? I'm afraid there is something else involved.
The inside story...
Hearing this sentence, Concubine Rong's frown flashed with suspicion.
Xia Tingzhen knew about her affair with Yue Lang, and knew that Zhang'er was Yue Lang's child...
When she first had this suspicion, she was more panicked.
Later, Xia Tingzhen sent someone a message to her on the day her mother passed away, confirming her previous suspicions - but at that time, she was only thinking about how to save Yue Lang, and never thought about how Xia Tingzhen learned about it.
Her secret!
Yes, how on earth did he know?
She thought she was being quite cautious, and the only person who knew about this was her wet nurse, Aunt Qi...
But this is absolutely impossible - instead of saying that she was worried that grandma would leak this matter, it was better to say that grandma had been worried that she would leak it!
She knows what grandma is like.
If it’s not Mammy, then who could it be...
—— Yue Lang?
No, how could Yue Lang hand over the clues to Xia Tingzhen?!
While Concubine Rong endured the pain and thought hard, Emperor Qingming's voice sounded again: "Can't you understand? Then let me tell you - your Yue Lang, the reason why he approached you from the beginning was because of Xia Tingzhen's drive! If not
Do you think he really dares to take such a risk and have an affair with you regardless of life or death?"
"In their eyes, you are just a stupid chess piece! They want to use the evil seed you gave birth to to plot my Daqing kingdom! I said this, do you understand?"
These words were like long sharp needles piercing Concubine Rong's heart, causing her face, which was already as pale as paper, to become filled with chills.
"No..." She shook her head and said, "Impossible! Yue Lang is definitely not this kind of person!"
She tried her best to support herself, and her breathless voice was full of determination: "Yue Lang has been keeping our old love for me for many years... He has never married even now!"
This thing has always moved her, even made her feel guilty——
Even talking about it at this time still made her full of confidence and confidence in this relationship in front of the emperor, and she could even say in a sarcastic tone: "What you don't have, just pretend that no one else in the world has it! Yue Lang and I
It’s a fact that we love each other and stay together through life and death... No matter how much you distort the facts, you can’t change it!”
However, before he finished speaking, the emperor laughed.
The laughter continued for a long time, as if he had heard a big joke, and he couldn't help but laugh no matter what.
"Both love each other..."
Emperor Qingming laughed so hard that tears came to his eyes. He held the long knife in his right hand and his figure was shaking slightly.
"Why are you laughing! Of course you don't understand!" Concubine Rong said through gritted teeth, "...because you don't deserve to be treated sincerely!"
"You think you have won the sincerity of your lover..." Emperor Qingming looked at her, as if unwilling to let go of any of her reactions or expressions: "Then do you know that although he has not married a wife, he has secretly raised a woman, and the two of them
Already have a son?”
Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
How is it possible...
Fake!
It must be fake!
"You're talking nonsense!" She said almost every word: "Yue Lang will never lie to me!"
Yue Lang swore to God that everything he said was true and he would never lie to her!
"Am I talking nonsense?" Emperor Qingming raised the long knife in his hand, pointed at the head, and said with a smile: "I was hasty, I should have spared him a breath, so that you could ask him and listen to him with your own ears.
How he and his secret wife played in harmony, how they slept together day and night... What a pity, what a pity."
There was real regret in his tone, but the pleasure of revenge was in his eyes.
"No...impossible!" Concubine Rong struggled to sit up, her eyes red: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
"It won't be too late to ask him when you get to the underworld." Emperor Qingming looked at her with cold eyes: "But we have to wait a little longer, don't worry, I can't bear to let you die like this... How can you still
You have to live until I am satisfied."
Li Ji broke into a cold sweat when he heard this.
He thought, let's forget it...
After all, with the emperor in his current state, if he really wanted to keep the imperial concubine here and torture him, he was worried that the emperor himself would not be able to bear it and would go ahead of the imperial concubine again!
"...You will have retribution!" Concubine Rong Gui did not know where the strength came from to stand up reluctantly, and once again rushed towards Emperor Qingming, her crying voice was sharp and filled with resentment: "You will all have retribution!
Xia Tingzhen is dead, Yue Lang is dead...you deserve to die too! You all deserve to die!"
"Protect him!" Li Ji shouted in alarm, and quickly protected the emperor to one side.
Two guards stopped him with knives.
Concubine Rong did not stop, but moved faster and faster.
"Puff——"
The frail and frail body slammed into the long knife that shone with cold light.
The blade pierced her abdominal cavity, and she was finally able to stop.
That’s it.
No need to go any further.
——A very soft voice said to her in her head.
After a moment of stiffness, her body slowly softened.
The guard originally drew his sword to intimidate him, but he didn't expect that she would bump into her so recklessly. He drew the sword out in shock - it was just killing a person, which was nothing to them, but the emperor was still unwilling to do so.
Let her die.
After the long knife was drawn out, it seemed that all Rong's strength had been taken away. Her body no longer had any support, like a withered lotus that was finally broken in the autumn wind.
She fell heavily to the ground.
His snow-white clothes were stained red, his internal organs were ruptured, and blood was pouring out of his mouth.
Looking at the head right in front of her and the empty eyes, she opened her scarlet mouth, as if she still had something to say to it.
She has something to ask.
She had to ask clearly...
She has to walk faster! To catch up with him!
If he really deceived her, she would chase him and fall into the eighteenth level of hell together, or be reincarnated. She would cling to him and repay the debt a hundred times!
He couldn't even think of getting rid of her like that!
She tried to reach out her hand, wanting to get closer to the head, as if she could meet him again on the road to hell.
At this moment, a knife struck her waist and ribs again.
Another knife fell on the shoulder.
Emperor Qingming went crazy and slashed the long knife in his hand.
But she could no longer feel the pain, and there was no movement in her gradually tattered body.
Li Ji lowered his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart.
Just leave like this, and never come near this whirlpool of power again in your next life.
To put it bluntly, he was an innocent person, but because he entered the palace gate by mistake, he was dragged into this scam full of calculations and plots without knowing anything about it.
No matter what, it's always sad to be cheated.
"Am I going to get retribution? I am the Son of Heaven! No one can control my life or death! How dare you, mere ants, go against me over your own power?!" Emperor Qingming had blood splattered on his hands and in front of his body.
His face became more twisted and ferocious: "If you dare to betray me, plot against me... you will all be cut into pieces! This is your fate! And I will always be the master of Daqing! No one can even think about it -"
When he said this, his figure suddenly swayed, and a large mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.
"clang!"
The long knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"emperor!"
"Quickly...quickly call the imperial doctor!"
Li Ji gave instructions while hurriedly helping people.
Emperor Qingming soon lost consciousness.
After some treatment by the imperial doctor, there was still no response.
News that the emperor vomited blood and fell into coma quickly spread.
But this time was different from the time at Taimiao. This time it lasted three full days, and the person still didn’t wake up.
At such a critical moment, everyone in the court was inevitably in a state of panic.
On this day, another group of ministers came outside the Yangxin Hall. When Li Ji stepped forward to respond, he was questioned by several veteran ministers.
"Why did the Emperor vomit blood and fall into coma again!"
"I have already asked Dr. Zheng. Your Majesty's recurrence of the disease is obviously caused by severe stimulation - what happened before your Majesty fell into coma!"
"..."
Li Ji's head was pounding after hearing this.
What happened?
Just...the emperor was cuckolded!
The green pole attacks the heart!
But even if he dares to speak, will these people dare to listen?
If His Majesty is cheated, it will bring disgrace to Daqing once word spreads - he is doing this for the sake of the color of Daqing as a whole!
Seeing that nothing could be asked from Li Ji, several veterans shook their hands and sighed.
I have seen people dragging their feet, but I have never seen anyone dragging their feet like this!
If it doesn't work, just die!
It’s time to pack it up!
Hurry!
Vomiting blood today and falling asleep tomorrow are not embarrassing enough, so who is bothering me here?
At first they didn't want anything to happen to the emperor, out of consideration for the overall situation and the people's concerns - but after all these incidents, it seemed that the emperor's prestige was running low. It was like this anyway, and it couldn't get any worse!
Even though the prince is weak and young, at least he is well-behaved and obedient, and he is less worried than his father!
Several veterans gathered together and went to the East Palace immediately.
——His Majesty is seriously ill, please ask the Crown Prince to come forward to supervise the country!
…
As soon as the news of the prince's supervision of the country came out, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the capital.
Mr. Ji's hair has been falling out more and more recently.
The day before yesterday, he went out with his wife to burn incense and worship God. He stayed in the temple for a long time and had a heart-to-heart talk with the abbot and abbot. His wife sent a servant to ask him when he was going home. At that time, he almost blurted out a sentence - going home? He
Want to become a monk!
To think that a person who is so attached to the mortal world and yellow and white things actually has the idea of escaping into Buddhism, which shows how difficult the current situation is.
In particular, I heard that in Linyuan City, Brother Xu took over the position of prefect and handled the affairs of the city——
He was so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry.
The affairs of a city are trivial, complicated, laborious and laborious - is this what rich people should do?
Can these rich people position themselves correctly?
This kind of thing should be left to him!
In grief, the more Mr. Ji thought about it, the more he felt that his friend was unkind. There were so many people when he left the city, why were there only a few members of his family?
Too risky? Don’t want to involve him?
Who are you looking down on?
Seeking wealth and wealth in danger will earn you money that licks your blood with the tip of a knife!
While Mr. Ji was still brooding over this, another subordinate came to report that there was a fire in an alley in the city. The reason was that several people were performing sacrifices and burning paper money - thinking that the emperor had died.
!
But it’s not that they were crying in mourning. It was said that they were afraid that the emperor would die with resentment in his heart, and that this resentment would linger and harm the people...
But the emperor is not dead yet!
Lord Ji sighed.
This Purple Star Sect is really never idle for a moment, there is no gap that their needles cannot penetrate!
However, at this juncture, another piece of particularly eye-catching news spread in the city...
