madman!
He is a madman! !
Grandma Jiang's eyes widened, the pain was so severe that she wanted to faint, she whimpered and screamed, and boundless annoyance welled up in her heart.
How could she believe that such a vicious person could truly admire her girl? Why did she think that he was despicable because he was temporarily confused, and that he did things wrong because he liked her girl too much?
Thinking of the fate of the three girls who were betrothed to Prince Cheng, Grandma Jiang bit the thing in her mouth, trembling with pain, and refused to speak.
"Shameless!" King Cheng looked coldly.
The person who was stepping on Nanny Jiang stomped hard on Nanny Jiang's legs and wrists, and she suddenly jumped up, her eyeballs bulging in pain.
He grabbed her other hand and folded it hard. The person who was struggling wildly and yelling "Wooing" stopped and her whole body collapsed on the ground.
The whimpering stopped, and the person who made the move looked down.
"My lord, I'm fainted."
King Cheng looked at Nanny Jiang who was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, and said coldly: "No need to ask."
"But Princess..."
"If Rong Yue didn't know something, this old woman wouldn't rather die than speak."
This old woman named Jiang was deceived by him into plotting against Rongyue, but she was loyal to Rongyue. Except for the time when Rongyue gave birth to her son, she was frightened and had difficulty giving birth, and Grandma Jiang was forced to "help" him once. Over the years, She never did anything for him again, and never received any benefit from him.
When Rongyue contacted Gu Helian, the old woman kept it a secret. Now she would rather be tortured than speak out. Rongyue must have known something that could affect her own safety. Once he knew about it, it would definitely endanger her. Rong Yue...
King Cheng felt cold in his heart.
Was it what happened to Gu Helian back then?
Or Xie Yin?
Or something else...
Prince Cheng couldn't sit still. He had obviously kept it a secret for so many years. It was obvious that Rongyue was very affectionate to him and had never doubted him at all, but why did he suddenly know things that she shouldn't know? !
King Cheng's face was extremely ugly, and he looked at Aunt Jiang who was lying limply on the ground with a cold expression in her eyes.
"Rong Yue can't stay."
The expression of the man in the room changed slightly: "But the princess returns home tonight, everyone knows..."
If something happened suddenly in the house, there would be no way to hide it.
King Cheng said coldly: "Of course I will not let her die directly."
Rongyue still has value, so Song Tangning and Xiao Yan still have to rely on her to contain them. Since she can't make peace with him and leave it to her for future use, they have to squeeze her clean and give her a ride, and let Prince Cheng's Mansion Clean and tidy.
"Go..." King Cheng opened his mouth and was about to give the man some instructions when he heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the room behind the screen.
Rongyue suddenly returned home, and Xiao Yan's people were with him. King Cheng knew how powerful the group of owl dogs around Xiao Yan was, and was interrogating Aunt Jiang elsewhere for fear of alerting outsiders, so he brought them to the old concubine's room. .
All the servants in the house had been sent away, and King Cheng stayed here alone in the name of attending to the disease. At this moment, when he heard the sound inside, King Cheng stood up suddenly, walked around the screen quickly, and saw what was supposed to be an unconscious person inside. The old lady who woke up didn't know when she had woken up.
Her face was rosy, not as pale as before, and she held onto the edge of the bed to stand up.
"Concubine?" Prince Cheng stepped forward: "You're awake!"
Seeing the old lady's face glowing red, he wanted to support her, but he didn't want to be grabbed by her.
The old concubine's voice was hoarse: "Old Seven, don't make any more mistakes."
It had been a long time since King Cheng had heard the old concubine call him that. Ever since Emperor An ascended the throne and he had been crowned king, King Cheng had almost forgotten that he was once the seventh prince.
He helped the old concubine sit back on the bed and smiled: "Concubine, you are sick and confused. How can I do anything wrong? Please rest quickly, I will call the doctor..."
"I know A Yin is not Rongyue's child."
The smile on King Cheng's face froze instantly.
The old concubine seemed to have lost her illness, and the turbidity in her eyes had also dissipated. She was not as dying as when she coughed up blood before, but her spirit was a little abnormal. She raised her head and looked at the uncertain King Cheng by the candlelight and said softly:
"I know that he is not of Rongyue's blood, but over the years Rongyue has treated him as his own son."
"You and that person are incompatible. You have already betrayed Rongyue with this child. Rongyue has nothing to do with you. You have delayed her for so many years for your own selfishness. Now she is pregnant. With your blood, you can’t hurt her anymore.”
The phrase "unethical" caused constant changes in King Decheng's face. He let go of his hands and asked, "When did the mother-in-law know about it?"
The old concubine whispered: "The night you married Rongyue, that man came to see you..."
She still remembers the shock she felt when she saw the woman who shouldn't have appeared in their house and Xie Tianyu on the night of Prince Cheng's wedding.
There were a lot of guests outside, and the prince and court officials were all talking and laughing, but her son, who was supposed to be toasting at the banquet and loving his new wife, was wearing a bright red wedding dress, hugging another woman and having sex in the backyard of the prince's mansion.
She was still the imperial concubine at that time, and the late emperor was still there.
Once this matter was discovered, Xie Tianyu would be completely ruined. Not only would the woman's entire family be implicated, but her natal family would also be implicated.
She was extremely shocked and frightened. She hurriedly dismissed all the servants in the backyard, arrested and silenced those who witnessed it with her, and even though she was angry, she covered up the matter for them.
Later, when the woman was superior, she thought that they would break off this unethical relationship, and thought that Xie Tianyu would calm down and live a good life with Rong Yue, but who would have thought that they would never break off.
The old concubine did not dare to expose them, and she was even more afraid that their relationship would be exposed to others. She tried her best to cover it up. Facing Rong Yue, who was sincere and extremely filial, she felt extremely guilty and angry at her for being so stupid.
She clutched Prince Cheng's arm and said, "No one knows about you. You have kept A Yin's life a secret. Even if Rong Yue knew that you lied to her back then, she wouldn't be able to do anything after the passage of time."
"Since you don't like her, then let her go, let her take the child far away, and stop committing murder..."
"Killing?" King Cheng looked slightly cold: "I don't commit murder, do you think Rongyue and the others can let me go?"
"She won't..."
"She will!"
King Cheng interrupted in a deep voice: "Rong Yue can't tolerate sand in her eyes, and her niece is determined to retaliate. Look at the fate of Song Guogong's house, look at the Lu family, if she knew that I had lied to Rongyue for many years, she would never let it go. "
"What's more, if there is no Rongyue, how can I find help to force my brother to let me out? Does my mother and concubine want me to be trapped in Prince Cheng's Mansion for the rest of my life, like a cripple who will never rise again?"
The old lady held his hand: "What's wrong with being an idle prince?"
She lowered her voice, feeling that her energy just now dissipated, and she resisted the surge of fatigue.
"You are the late emperor's biological son and His Majesty's younger brother. As long as you stay on your own terms, not even His Majesty can do anything to you easily."
"Your Majesty can't keep you trapped forever. He will naturally release you from your confinement after he calms down. Then you can learn from King Huan. Don't you think it's good that he is in charge of the clan's mansion? Why bother meddling in the government..."
"Why?!" King Cheng pushed the old concubine away violently: "That loser King Huan is willing to guard the clan's mansion, but I am not!"
"My mother and concubine also said that I am the late emperor's biological son, and I am also the prince's grandson. When Xie Tianzhao died and the East Palace was empty, I was the one who was favored by my father, and I should have sat in that position. If it hadn't been for me How could he become the emperor in a moment of carelessness?"
He was more popular than Emperor An, and he was more appreciated by his father and emperor than him. He also had connections with the Rong family and could have aspired to the throne, but who knew that something unexpected happened and his good brother plotted against the Lu family? With one blow, he missed the throne.
King Cheng looked ferocious: "I have handed over the throne to him, and now I still have to live in the palace and cannot even get involved in the government affairs. How can I have any status in the capital in the future?"
"Lao Qi..."
"That's enough. I will make my own decision regarding Rongyue. As long as my mother-in-law takes good care of herself."
Prince Cheng didn't want to talk to the old concubine anymore, so he stood up and planned to leave.
"Tianyu!"
The old concubine was anxious and wanted to pull on his sleeve: "Don't make the same mistake again and again. After all, Rongyue has been married to you for many years, and she has your child..."
"I don't need that child."
"But you owe her this..."
"Did I ever owe her anything?" Prince Cheng interrupted the old concubine coldly: "It was she who was stupid enough to believe in the so-called love at first sight, and it was she who was stupid enough to jump into this king's pit of fire."
"Xie Tianyu..."
"enough!"
Prince Cheng was impatient with the old concubine. Seeing her tightly tugging at his sleeves to prevent him from leaving, he waved his sleeves and brushed her away. The force made the old concubine fall back on the bed with a bang. side.
He said angrily: "I can't stay in the mansion forever, and I can't let her be such a disaster. That thief Xiao Yan trapped me in the mansion with the emperor's order. I can only force him with the help of Rongyue." Only by compromising with Song Tangning can I get a chance to get out of this shackles..."
The old concubine lay slumped in front of the bed rail and remained silent.
"Mother, please rest well and take care of yourself. I have my own plans for Rongyue's affairs, so don't interfere."
There was still silence in the room, and the old lady remained motionless.
"Concubine?"
Prince Cheng, who had originally planned to leave, didn't hear the argument and glanced doubtfully, but the old concubine beside the bed remained motionless.
His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly walked over and reached out to help the old lady, but as soon as he touched her body, he saw her falling to the ground along the bed as if she had no bones.
The old concubine's forehead was covered with blood, her eyes were wide open, and the red gold hook hanging on the green gauze curtain beside the bed was also stained with blood.
"Mother concubine!"
Prince Cheng quickly squatted down beside the old concubine, stretched out his hand to sniff her breath, and then fell to the ground with a pale face.
The old concubine is dead.
