"No..." The fake queen mother shook her head subconsciously and looked at Concubine Hui worriedly.
Concubine Hui looked at Emperor Donglin with a pleading look on her face, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I did this irrational thing because I was thinking of my dead son!"
In order to win the sympathy of Emperor Donglin, Concubine Hui directly brought up the aborted child, hoping that Emperor Donglin would let her go without any punishment.
Even if she was asked to stay by the fake empress dowager's side and take care of her for a period of time, she would be willing to do so.
Xiao Ruoyi couldn't help but roll her eyes secretly when she heard this, her heart full of disgust and contempt, [Tsk! What a bullshit son! Even if that kid is here, she's just a daughter, not a son! You clearly knew that the "son" couldn't be saved, so you took the opportunity to frame my mother! ]
If Concubine Hui hadn't said it, Emperor Donglin would not have thought of this.
After hearing what Xiao Ruoyi said, Emperor Donglin became even angrier.
Do you really think he's a fool? You're playing him around like a fool, aren't you?
Emperor Donglin sneered and looked at Concubine Hui sarcastically. He put his hands behind his back, bent down slightly and looked down indifferently, "Oh, a dead child? Do you think that since I have re-investigated what happened back then, I would not know some of the things that happened back then?"
Concubine Hui was stunned and looked at Emperor Donglin in confusion.
...
...
I don’t understand why Emperor Donglin said these words?
Yes, did Emperor Donglin find out anything?
For a moment, Concubine Hui almost couldn't maintain her facial expression, and her voice was a little stammering, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Xiao Ruoyi tilted her head, [Huh? Did Daddy know about Concubine Hui's plan back then? Oh, if we tell her the truth, will Concubine Hui be desperate? This rotten peach blossom will go crazy, and Daddy will be the unlucky one! ]
Emperor Donglin, who was about to get angry again and tell the truth of what happened that year, was startled.
He was so angry that he couldn't talk about this matter for the time being.
Concubine Hui knew about the fake empress dowager and was most likely an accomplice in replacing the empress dowager.
If we tell the truth now, there may be trouble later and it may endanger the Queen Mother's situation.
Finally, Emperor Donglin felt himself deflate and waved his hands angrily, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. I just want to ask you, do you accept my punishment? Hmm?"
Emperor Donglin stared coldly at Concubine Hui with his dark and deep eyes, and his tall and slender body seemed to exude an aura of majesty that could not be disobeyed.
Concubine Hui felt a powerful aura pressing down on her, making her feel a little breathless.
"Accept...Accept it. I am willing to accept it!"
The fake queen mother's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Emperor Donglin worriedly, "Emperor..."
Emperor Donglin turned around and looked at the fake queen mother. His voice was cold and full of irresistible majesty. "Mother, I have already investigated the case, but because Duke Lu was involved in the Beizhao spy case, it concerns the safety of the court. In the future, please do not interfere in this matter!"
No one is allowed to talk about the affairs of Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu and Concubine Liang, let alone bring them up again.
Especially if the fake queen mother embarrasses Concubine Liang and her daughter because of that matter, then the matter will not be as simple as just the royal heir.
The fake queen mother was so shocked that she dared not refute and could only obey.
"good!"
Emperor Donglin snorted in his heart, and turned his gaze to the Third Prince who had been trying to treat him as air. A hint of hostility flashed in his eyes, "You are very capable, kid!"
"Plop"
The Third Prince's body was stimulated, and he immediately slid to his knees and threw himself in front of Emperor Donglin, crying loudly and admitting his fault, "Father...Father! I know I was wrong!"
The third prince wanted to grab Emperor Donglin's dragon robe, but was mercilessly kicked in the chest by Emperor Donglin. He slid several meters away and only stood up straight after hitting the wall.
The fake empress dowager and Concubine Hui were shocked to see how cruel Emperor Donglin was, and they were surprised that he could even be so cruel to his own son.
Before he registered with Emperor Donglin, he had also killed his half-brother, but the relationship between him and his biological son was completely different. Today, he was so inhumane that he kicked him away coldly.
They all felt like they were about to be kicked apart by Emperor Donglin, and it hurt just watching.
Concubine Hui stood aside with her head down, silent. She didn't even notice that her hands were trembling slightly in her sleeves.
She entered the palace as a concubine after Emperor Donglin ascended the throne. Even though the previous Emperor Donglin killed many ministers and even exterminated their entire clan, she did not see it with her own eyes, so she did not fully appreciate how cruel Emperor Donglin really was.
Emperor Donglin looked at the Third Prince, who was lying on the ground wailing in pain while holding his chest, with disdain and disgust, and ordered in a cold voice, "Someone! Take the Third Prince back. No one can let him out without my order!"
"yes!"
The Royal Guards walked in from outside and headed towards the Third Prince.
The Third Prince, who was in great pain, felt his head buzzing. He looked at the guards walking towards him in a daze, his voice trembling, "Father... Father... Mother... Mother, save... save me! Father! Father..."
Xiao Ruoyi shook her head helplessly and sighed, [Alas, she is still just a child! NO to acting, NO to dying! Isn't it good to live a good life? ]
After all, the third prince is only an eleven-year-old child, which is still an elementary school student in modern times!
An elementary school student didn't know anything yet. The immense pain at this moment made him think of his parents first. However, he forgot that the person who kicked him was his father, and his mother was locked up in the cold palace and could not come to comfort him.
Emperor Donglin didn't understand what Xiao Ruoyi meant, but he only knew that the beast, the Third Brother, actually did such a stupid thing after hearing Xiao Ruoyi's thoughts, and he was unworthy of being a member of the royal family.
Looking at the Third Prince, Emperor Donglin still spoke indifferently, "If you were not my son, I would have torn you into pieces long ago, a heartless, power-hungry fool like you! Take him away!"
The guards didn't listen to the third prince's cry for help, they just lifted him up and walked out.
Emperor Donglin turned to look at the fake queen mother and Concubine Hui and said, "I will take Concubine Liang and Yiyi away! Concubine Hui has to take care of the queen mother. In order to avoid conflict, they will not come to pay respects to the queen mother in the future!"
Emperor Donglin's actions just now also shocked the fake empress dowager and Concubine Hui.
After all, the fake empress dowager knew that she was not the real empress dowager, and was afraid that Emperor Donglin would guess her identity and take action against her. Concubine Hui remembered that Emperor Donglin said he had investigated what happened that year, and she became worried unconsciously.
The imperial physician who treated him back then is still alive!
If Emperor Donglin really investigated it, she might really be in trouble!
