"When the queen sent someone to invite me over, I realized something was wrong, but I came anyway because I didn't believe that the queen could really have such a vicious heart. I didn't expect that the wine was indeed highly poisonous. , The Queen indeed wanted my life, but fortunately Your Majesty came here in time, otherwise I would have been the one to drink the wine!"
Taoyao pretended to be aggrieved and scared, and held Emperor Xuan's hand hard.
Now that the queen has spoken out her heart, what else can she do to be kind and merciful?
Even without taking action himself, Emperor Xuan's disgust for her was enough to make her heartache.
Sure enough, Emperor Xuan's eyes looked at the queen without a trace of warmth, only with endless disgust.
He really hates this woman so much. All the love between husband and wife for so many years is gone in his heart. All she has is bitterness, pampering and jealousy, and she cannot be generous or tolerant.
In his opinion, the queen is not really a qualified wife, nor is she a qualified harem master.
"Is it possible that His Majesty wants to kill me to avenge him? This is too ridiculous. So what if the wine is poisonous? He didn't drink it. What's more, how can a concubine with no children be like me? Than? If Your Majesty kills me, have you ever thought about what Hua'er would think? I have never thought about whether the harem will be in chaos in the future. Your preference for her will only make her a thorn in everyone's side. Even if I am gone, The number of people who want to kill her will never decrease in the future!”
The queen laughed wildly.
Yes, I just clearly saw murderous intent in His Majesty's eyes. It was such a terrifying look.
Has the relationship between husband and wife of nearly twenty years just disappeared? Can't she be compared to a woman like Taoyao?
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, there is still son Jinghua. As long as he and Jinghua inherit the throne, as long as Emperor Xuan dies, it will be easy to deal with Taoyao, which will make Taoyao's life worse than death.
"You are wrong, I will not kill you."
Emperor Xuan took a deep breath and looked at the queen's crazy look. He felt more and more that he didn't recognize this person. His wife, who had been sleeping with him for so many years, actually hid such a vicious heart. It was a big deal for him. Very desperate thing.
It's not that I don't know that the queen has a sharp temper, and sometimes the handling of the harem is a bit too much, but I turn a blind eye and tolerate it.
Today's situation is really too big, and it is in full public view, with so many people watching. It would be unjustifiable if we don't give an explanation.
A big event happened in the harem. The Queen wanted to kill His Majesty's favorite Concubine Rong, but she failed in the end. Instead, His Majesty was so angry that he took away the Queen's seal and imprisoned her in Fengyi Palace without an edict. Cannot be drawn.
It was useless for anyone to plead for mercy, and it was useless to let Prince Jinghua cry until the sky turned dark.
This time Jinghua came to beg for mercy as usual. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, hoping to get his father to take back his life. No matter what his mother did, she still had the right to kill a concubine. Why did she have to make such a fuss this time? How serious is it?
Or was it just Concubine Rong who was stabbed to death this time?
"You don't need to plead for your mother. You know what your mother did."
Emperor Xuan glanced at Jinghua with boredom. He slowly began to dislike his son because of the queen.
Whether it's intelligence or relationships, everything is not on the table. How could a good-looking child be raised like this?
I remember that Jinghua had high hopes for him when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would become more and more mediocre as he grew up.
The same goes for Concubine De's sons. If both of them are so mediocre, how can they inherit the throne?
Unexpectedly, the best one was the son he once disliked the most, the prince Jing Zhao adopted by Taoyao. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the most powerful.
It would be nice if nothing like that happened, then we could love her without any grudges, instead of always feeling like there was something separated.
Coupled with the years in the cold palace, the father and son really have a lot of grudges in their hearts. They don't know if they can wait until the day they are truly eliminated.
"What mistake did the Queen Mother make to deserve such a severe punishment? Even if Concubine Rong was the father's heart, wouldn't she be fine after all? She didn't drink the poisonous wine, so why should the Queen Mother be punished so severely? ?”
Jinghua's forehead was red and his eyes were swollen from crying. He didn't know why things were such a big deal. Isn't the queen a queen? Isn’t she the father’s wife? Not the master of the harem? Why was he punished so severely?
Even the Phoenix Seal has been taken away, which makes it clear that there is no difference from the deposed queen, it is just giving people the last trace of dignity.
"Get out, you are just like your mother. You don't think you have done anything wrong at all. You are still making excuses. You have been taught bad things by your mother!"
Emperor Xuan looked at his favorite son with great boredom. This was the direct son of him and the queen. He wanted to be the son who could inherit the throne in the future, but now it seemed that he was far less smart and cute than he was when he was a child.
Being mediocre is one thing, being mean is another. Treating those around you like a queen, how can this be convincing?
"After all, it's just because Concubine Rong is involved that Father is partial and favors her. As soon as Concubine Rong is involved, Father will become confused and will no longer be wise or powerful. , will only favor her. The queen mother is right, that woman may really be a goblin, who came here specifically to confuse the father!"
Jinghua couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and shouted to Emperor Xuan.
The Queen Mother has been locked up for almost half a month. I originally thought that the father was just in a moment of rage, and without the rope, he would slowly wake up. But now, the longer the days go by, the less the father mentions the Queen Mother. , and even really wanted to lock her in Fengyi Palace for the rest of her life and never come out again.
But he fell in love with Concubine Rong more and more. How could he be able to swallow this feeling in his heart under such a comparison?
"Ever since the day my father brought Concubine Rong back, my father no longer has the position of mother and queen in his heart, nor does he have the position of my son. Even Jing Zhao, who I hated most at the beginning, has gradually become more pleasing to his eyes. All of this is because of Concubine Rong. If I hadn't thought about passing the throne to that bastard in the future, my father would also say, I am your favorite son, but these are just coaxing. It’s just a joke, now my father’s favorite is obviously that bastard, and all of this is thanks to Concubine Rong!”
After saying these words, he was reprimanded by Emperor Xuan again. Jinghua wiped the tears on his face hard and ran out desperately after being reprimanded.
I don't know how I will live in the future. I only know that my mother has been locked up in Fengyi Palace forever, and I am afraid she will never come out in this life. My father's love for him is gradually decreasing, and even... The look in his eyes became so disgusting.
what to do? What to do about all this?
Jinghua ran to the imperial garden, panting from exhaustion and walking aimlessly. He didn't know what to do or what else to do to win back his father's heart.
All the spirits are about to collapse. But what made him most uncomfortable was that Jing Zhao, whom he looked down upon in the past, was gradually becoming better and better than him, and maybe he might actually take his place in the future.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing his entire spirit to begin to collapse.
Suddenly, I didn't know where I was. My foot slipped and I fell into a lotus pond. This place was relatively remote and no one was around to see it.
Jinghua struggled hard, but slowly his body became weak, and finally he sank little by little, making no more noise.
Emperor Xuan had not yet reacted when he received the news that Jinghua had drowned in the lotus pond.
Didn’t you just talk back in front of me? Why did he run out and drown right away?
When he rushed over and saw Jinghua's body, he really didn't dare to look closely.
But. The facts are already in front of you, no matter how hard you want to believe it, you can only believe it.
When the queen knew the news, she went completely crazy.
Originally, after she was imprisoned in Fengyi Palace, her greatest confidence was her son. She thought that as long as her son inherited the throne, she would be able to let her out and everything could start again, but she did not expect that this news completely shattered her. All her hopes.
I couldn't think about it for a while, cried and laughed, and became crazy from then on.
When she got the news, Taoyao was talking to Jing Zhao. When she got the news, she took a special look at Jing Zhao's expression, and sure enough, she saw a hint of happiness in the other person's eyes.
"Why, this is good news for you. The people who once had a grudge against you, one or two, have suffered their own consequences. How about it? Do you feel happy?"
Taoyao looked at him with a smile.
In fact, this is what happened, and it is relatively similar to the previous life. It is almost the same, but there are some subtle differences.
"Of course I am happy. Why do you ask me this? Do I have to learn how to forgive everyone without distinction like the Bodhisattva? Whether it is the queen or Jinghua, both of them are not good to me. Of course I am Remember their bad points. What's more, doesn't the queen still want to give poisonous wine to the empress? This can be regarded as her own fault. "
When it came to the poisoned wine, Jing Zhao was still very worried. He had an uneasy premonition that day, and sent someone to report it to Emperor Xuan, intentionally or unintentionally.
Sure enough, something did happen later, but it didn't matter, as long as Taoyao was fine.
What's more, Emperor Xuan didn't forget to take the queen's life. He just took the seal and imprisoned her in Fengyi Palace. Compared with the bad things the queen did one after another, this was already considered very light. punishment.
