After five days, the queen came to Zhaochen Palace again.
A violent coughing sound was heard in the distance, which was heartbreaking, accompanied by the anxious voice of a nun: "Mother, please drink some water..."
The queen paused slightly, then stepped into the palace door.
There was a not so fresh smell in the palace. The queen endured the discomfort and looked at the woman lying on the edge of the bed coughing violently.
Concubine Gu looked in bad spirits, her face was pale, and she looked seriously ill and weak.
The last time she came here, she was not so miserable. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, her whole body looked like it was declining.
"Emperor...Empress?" Nanny Ji, who was serving Concubine Gu, raised her eyes and saw the Queen. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, "Empress! Concubine Gu is very ill. Please be kind to Concubine Gu and give her a treat." Doctor! The Queen—"
The queen's gaze fell on the top of the mama's head, and she said thoughtfully: "Mama Ji, how long have you been serving the noble concubine?"
"Back to the Queen, my slave... I have been with the Imperial Concubine for more than thirty years. At that time, I was the Imperial Concubine's maidservant..."
The queen's eyes flashed, and she turned to look at Ah Cai and the maids behind her: "You all go out, and take Nanny Ji out as well. I will have a chat with the noble concubine alone."
"yes."
"Empress!" Nanny Ji kowtowed, "I beg the Empress to have mercy! Call the imperial concubine a doctor, she—"
"Mommy." Concubine Gu straightened up with great effort, her voice was hoarse and her face was bloodless, "You go out first."
Mother Ji knelt stiffly for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
During the days when Concubine Gu was under house arrest, Grandma Ji also aged rapidly. Her back looked a little rickety, as if she had foreseen the breath of death.
The queen walked over, sat down on a chair not far from Concubine Gu, and straightened her robe: "Rong Cang was made the crown prince today."
Concubine Gu's eyes suddenly changed, and then she said mockingly: "Since the queen adopted him as her legitimate son, is it not unusual for her to be established as the crown prince?"
The queen gave a faint sigh and looked at her calm face with interest: "Do you hate me so much?"
"Is the queen here to show off her power today, or is she here to watch my jokes?" Gu Guifei's face was pale, but she looked at her with no expression. "Isn't it a great feeling to take away someone else's son?"
The queen said calmly: "Rong Cang is my son."
Concubine Gu's eyes narrowed, as if she heard something wrong, and she sneered: "What is the queen talking about?"
"I just said that Rong Cang is my son." The queen raised a cold and ruthless smile, "You used tricks to take my son as your own, but you didn't treat him well. He has made him suffer for so many years! Concubine Gu, for everything you have done to Rong Cang, I will make King Chen bear it even more!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Guifei's expression suddenly became sharp, and her voice became three points sharper, "Rong Cang is my son! She has nothing to do with you -"
"You were not pregnant at all back then."
Concubine Gu's excited voice stopped suddenly, her expression stiffened inch by inch, and she looked at the queen in disbelief.
The air in the hall seemed to be condensed.
Concubine Gu clearly heard her rapid breathing, which had an ominous feeling.
Her expression changed from shock to fear, from fear to horror...
"Back then, you ordered Po Wen to kill my son, and then brought a child in from outside the palace, right?" The queen stared at Concubine Gu's face, not wanting to miss the slightest change in her expression, "In fact, you You want Po Wen to cause the child in this palace to appear to be dead, and then secretly bring the child into your own palace and become your son, but Po Wen made a mistake, right?"
"I don't understand what the Queen is saying at all! I don't understand a word!"
"You understand, because everything is your conspiracy. You are the selfish, vicious, audacious, and culprit who murdered the legitimate prince!" The queen stood up, her eyes cold, "Wen Po missed, and you were furious and panicked. , hurriedly let a trustworthy person, such as your father who has been sent to the eighteenth level of hell, bring a child in from outside the palace, and unknowingly created the illusion that you gave birth to a prince, but in fact you deceived the king. , Confusing the blood of the royal family and murdering the prince are unforgivable crimes!"
Concubine Gu's face turned pale and she was trembling: "I don't! I don't know anything. I don't know what you are talking about! The Queen is spreading rumors and slandering!"
"The purpose of murdering my child is to eliminate your son's rivals." The Queen took a deep breath and said in a cold and ruthless tone, "Concubine Gu, I will definitely let King Chen die without a burial place!"
Concubine Gu clenched the quilt tightly: "Since you know that Rong Cang is not of royal blood, why do you adopt him?"
"I just said that Rong Cang is my son." The queen calmed down her emotions and looked at her with a somewhat condescending look, "You have done all the tricks, but you forgot that God sees all of this. In your eyes. My son is not dead. He has been abused by you for more than ten years. He was forced to go to the battlefield before his body fully grew. You viciously fed him the poison and wanted to control him forever, right?"
Concubine Gu looked at her stiffly.
"People are doing it, but God is watching." The queen's eyes were so cold that she said, "Rong Cang is my biological son. I should probably thank you. At least he is still alive in this world and will live a good life for the rest of his life. , he has become the prince and will become the emperor in the future, and you and your selfish and despicable son are only worthy of crawling at his feet and lingering - "
"Shut up! Shut up!" Concubine Gu tried to get up, but due to her weakness, she fell directly from the bed. "Shut up, Rong Cang is not your son! He is just a bastard without royal blood. He is not your son...he is not!"
"He is my son." The queen looked at her coldly and announced a cruel thing, "Gu Guifei, the retribution for you and your son will come soon."
After saying this, she turned and walked out, walked to the palace door, turned around and said: "From today until you take your last breath, you will never have the chance to see Rong Chen and Rong Jinyue again. You can think of this as my revenge on you."
After leaving these words, the queen walked away.
Her back is straight and her bearing is noble. Her phoenix robe makes her look graceful and noble, making her unattainable.
Concubine Gu lay pale and weak on the edge of the bed, like a trapped animal on the verge of death.
