Chapter 333 Questioning the Emperor
emperor:"……"
The emperor was caught off guard by Concubine Shu's excitement and he was completely unable to react.
He couldn't understand why Concubine Shu was so excited about the prince's words. In such shock, the emperor forgot to answer.
But for Concubine Shu, this is a default!
The concubine pulled the emperor's clothes harder, "Why? Why are you doing this?"
"Don't you love her very much? The whole world knows that you love her very much! She has given so much for you... How could you, how could you do that to her?!"
"Why did you treat her like that? Why? Why?!"
Shufei was a weak woman who usually lived a life of luxury. At this moment, she used almost all her strength. Veins appeared on the back of her hands, and her fine and long nails were broken directly because of the sudden force!
The collar of the emperor's bright yellow pajamas was stained with blood.
He could only lie on the bed, his body rising and falling due to Concubine Shu's pulling, and finally fell heavily on the bed.
Emperor: “…” He was almost dizzy.
So much so that the first thing he said after he recovered a little was not a denial, but a question: "What is your relationship with Wei Shuang?"
Suddenly, the emperor thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you from the Wei family?"
He had chosen Concubine Shu because her face was somewhat similar to Wei Shuang's, but he had never expected...
After understanding this point, it seemed understandable that these three people appeared in front of his dragon bed at the same time.
All for Wei Shuang.
"Hmph." Concubine Shu sneered, "I'm not a member of the Wei family." She didn't think of herself as a member of the Wei family.
She is just Wei Shuang's sister.
"So, it was you who gave the witchcraft poison to Concubine Li and let her attack her." Concubine Shu was not asking, but confirming.
She believed in Xiao Ji's judgment.
"No!" The emperor denied it very quickly. "I don't know where you heard this news from, but Shuang'er and I were deeply in love. Even after she left, I missed her for many years. How could I possibly harm her?"
Because he had been in a coma for a long time and had just woken up, the emperor's voice was a little weak, but he spoke with exceptional firmness.
I don’t know who I’m trying to convince.
But apparently, no one believed these words except him.
Concubine Shu looked at the emperor with cold eyes, "I was wondering, I have been in the palace for so many years, how come I can't find any clues at all."
"It turned out to be you, it turned out to be you, it can only be you!"
Concubine Shu ignored the emperor's excuses and asked again: "Why? She loves you with all her heart, why do you treat her like this?"
Seeing that the emperor was still trying to argue, Xiao Ji said, "I don't understand either."
Xiao Ji looked directly into the emperor's eyes, "If your mother's family hadn't married you, if the Wei family hadn't supported you... you would have been the one to ascend the throne."
Xiao Ji's address to the emperor showed no respect at all. "My mother and the Wei family have been very kind to you, but after you ascended the throne, you turned your kindness into hatred..."
"Nonsense!" The emperor was irritated by the coldness and mockery in Xiao Ji's eyes, and angrily refuted on the spot, "What do you know? What do you mean by a great favor to me?! It's all bullshit!"
He was anxious.
Xiao Ji clenched his hands under his sleeves, but his expression did not change. He still looked at the emperor and said again in a cold voice, "Really?"
“But that’s what everyone thinks.”
"The Wei family values friendship and loyalty, but you are ungrateful. Not only did you strip the Wei family of their military power, you also poisoned your wife..."
"That's what the Wei family asked for!" The emperor's furious voice sounded. After saying this, he seemed to have opened a chatterbox and sneered, "How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?"
"The Wei family did support me, but they have ulterior motives. They originally wanted to control the government through me!"
"I gave them a chance!" the emperor roared. "I did give them a chance! As long as they handed over the military power, why would I touch them?"
"They are the ones who are shameless!"
He had clearly hinted to the old man of the Wei family that it was time to hand over the military power, but the old man pretended not to understand...
"What does that have to do with my sister?" Concubine Shu asked in a state of collapse. "My sister has never let you down! She hasn't!"
"I didn't want to touch her!" The emperor denied again, "I never wanted to touch her!"
There is one thing he never lied about from beginning to end.
He really loves Wei Shuang!
The emperor's eyes passed over Concubine Shu and fell on Xiao Ji, "It's you, the damned one... it's you!"
The resentment in his eyes was not concealed at all, "The person I want to kill is you. But Shuang'er...she chose to sacrifice herself for you!"
The Wei family held the military power, but ignored his suggestion and refused to hand it over. How could he allow a child with the blood of the Wei family to be born?
I'm afraid that the day that child is born will be the day he dies.
He must save himself!
That's why he chose to attack the pregnant Wei Shuang. He couldn't let Wei Shuang give birth to the child, and she would never have children again in the future...
"I have already thought about it. As long as you are not here, she will be the queen forever! But she actually gave up her promise to grow old with me for you, for a child she has never met -"
Bang!
A crisp slapping sound was heard, followed by Concubine Shu's angry rebuke, "Beast!"
Concubine Shu never expected that the emperor would say such a thing, "You attacked your wife and your own child because of a groundless suspicion. Are you still a human being?"
Concubine Shu was not misled by the emperor's words. She knew very well that the instigator of all this, the person who should be blamed... was the emperor!
At the same time, Xiao Ji also felt his palms warm. He didn't need to look to know that it was Xie Yao holding his hand.
Xiao Ji's hands were cold, and it was obvious that the emperor's words had not left him untouched. Xie Yao put a little more force and interlocked her fingers with his, telling him with her actions.
She is here.
Concubine Shu was still talking, "You still have the nerve to say that? Marrying you is the most wrong thing I have ever done in my life!"
The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the angrier she became.
She entered the palace to investigate the truth behind her sister's death. However, she was favored by the emperor and became his concubine for many years, and she gave birth to a child with him...
In the end, I found out that the person next to me was the real murderer who killed my sister!
Concubine Shu doesn't even dare to think about it. If my sister knew about this...
"Go to hell!" A cold light flashed in Concubine Shu's eyes. She grabbed the emperor's neck with both hands, exerting more force and repeating, "Go to hell, go to hell, go to hell!"
The emperor was already very weak, and even if he woke up, only his brain was awake, and he couldn't move at all while lying down.
The emotional roar just now made his face red and his neck thick, and his breathing was extremely rapid.
Caught off guard, the emperor was strangled by Concubine Shu, and even his cries for help became extremely low.
He was powerless to struggle, and stared at Concubine Shu with bloodshot eyes, full of hatred.
How dare Concubine Shu, how dare she...
But it didn't work.
The Concubine Shu, who usually lowered her head and looked obedient when he looked at her, now ignored everything and had only hatred in her eyes.
Her hands tightened...
Seeing that there was no other way, the emperor could only turn his gaze to Xiao Ji and Xie Yao. Don’t... don’t kill him!
He is the emperor.
"Aunt." Xiao Ji's cold voice awakened Shufei's brain which was controlled by hatred, but Shufei had made up her mind and had no intention of changing it because of Xiao Ji's call.
"Don't worry about it. Leave this to me. I did it all! I will take all the blame!"
"He must die!"
She couldn't bear it for even a second!
"Aunt." Xie Yao finally stopped looking at Xiao Ji after he spoke up, and stepped forward to dissuade him, "He deserves to die, but you shouldn't dirty your hands."
Concubine Shu still didn't let go, but Xie Yao quickly used a fatal blow.
"Even if Auntie doesn't care about herself, can't she think about Xiaowu?"
With just one sentence, Concubine Shu's hands froze, and then slowly loosened... But her face was full of unwillingness. After a moment, her eyes became fierce again. When she wanted to use force again, Xie Yao grabbed her hand.
"Aunt." Xie Yao said, "For him, it's not worth it."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." The emperor coughed violently, but no one paid any attention to him.
Xiao Ji and Xie Yao both looked at Concubine Shu, their eyes full of concern.
"I..." Concubine Shu choked, "I can't just ignore it, I can't just ignore this matter..."
"Sister, I want to avenge my sister..."
Her sister was the only light in her life before, but now her enemy is right in front of her, and she does nothing...
How can she be worthy of her sister?
She will never forget that everything she has done since entering the palace and until now was all for her sister.
Even if there is Xiaowu, but...
"Aunt." Xie Yao nodded gently to Xiao Ji, loosened her grip on his hand, and said to Concubine Shu: "You have done very well. I think if a person as good as my mother knew about this in the afterlife, she would only feel sorry for you."
"Really? Is it true?" Concubine Shu's voice was filled with hesitation and uncertainty.
Xie Yao nodded affirmatively, "Really, just like you said, mother is a very good person, she loves you so much..."
Xie Yao's words made Concubine Shu's eyes fill with tears.
Her sister... was actually murdered by the person next to her.
She had thought about so many people, made so many guesses and tests in the past few years, but she had never doubted the emperor.
Even in the dead of night, she would still blame herself.
She blamed herself for shamelessly becoming her brother-in-law's woman even though the emperor and her sister had such a good relationship.
But……
Concubine Shu suddenly turned her head and looked at the emperor with hatred in her eyes again, "You bastard emperor!"
But she had been persuaded by Xie Yao, so she did not step forward and insist that the emperor die.
The emperor finally calmed down at this moment, but there was still a lingering fear in his eyes. He never thought that Shufei, a usually gentle and weak woman, could be so fierce!
He was absolutely certain that Concubine Shu really wanted him to die just now.
How dare the bitch Concubine Shu!
When he comes... he will definitely kill all these people, leaving no one alive!
Concubine Shu also thought so. She looked at the emperor with cold eyes. There was still a long time to go, and she would treat the dog emperor the same way she had treated Concubine Li in the past.
At this moment, Si Nan's voice came from outside the palace, "Your Highness, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, someone from the Princess's Mansion wants to see you."
Hearing this, Concubine Shu's expression changed slightly. She subconsciously looked at Xiao Ji and Xie Yao with helplessness in her eyes.
She had been with the emperor for many years, so she naturally knew how good the relationship between the eldest princess and the dog emperor was.
The eldest princess has always loved her younger brother, the dog emperor. Now she has allowed someone to enter the palace... Could it be that she knows something?
In contrast, when the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he saw hope.
The imperial sister must have come to rescue him.
The emperor sister has always loved him the most...
"Got it." Xiao Ji and Xie Yao's reactions to this were relatively calm. Xie Yao gave Concubine Shu a calming look and asked, "Who is coming?"
"It's Aunt Suqin." Si Nan said.
Xie Yao looked at Xiao Ji and said, "Your Highness, I'm going to go out and see Aunt Suqin."
Xie Yao said this and walked out.
When she went out, she could clearly feel a burning gaze from behind her...
It's the emperor!
Xie Yao has always been sensitive to other people's looks. Even though she didn't see it with her own eyes, she felt that look was weird...
It's like...
Xie Yao turned around suddenly, and her eyes met the emperor's accurately!
Under the bright candlelight, Xie Yao clearly saw inquiry and covetousness in the emperor's eyes.
But in just a moment, the emperor's eyes turned into expectation, and then he looked away.
It was as if the emperor was staring at Xie Yao just now because he was looking forward to Aunt Suqin coming from the Princess's Mansion.
Xie Yao turned around calmly and walked out.
Although the emperor's eyes changed quickly and behaved reasonably... she knew that there was a problem.
Aunt Suqin is just outside the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
"I pay my respects to the Crown Princess." Suqin politely bowed to Xie Yao and went straight to the point, "The Princess heard that something happened in the palace today, so she sent me to come and take a look."
"Now that I see that the Crown Princess is safe and sound, I think the Princess can rest assured."
Xie Yao smiled and said, "Everything is fine in the palace. Please tell Aunt Suqin that my aunt can rest assured."
"Yes." Suqin agreed, and then asked with a smile: "I wonder if your majesty is injured? The princess is very concerned about this."
"Fortunately, the rescue came in time, and the thieves didn't have a chance to attack my father. My father is fine." After Xie Yao finished speaking, she clearly saw Suqin breathe a sigh of relief.
Suqin said: "That's great. The princess is very worried. I will tell her about this so that she can rest assured."
Xie Yao nodded.
Suqin knelt down and said, "It is already late at night, I will not bother the Crown Princess any more."
This was beyond Xie Yao's expectations. Xie Yao did not expect Suqin to leave after saying just a few words.
She was originally wondering whether she would agree or not if Suqin insisted on seeing the Dog Emperor.
But after only a second of hesitation, Xie Yao immediately ordered Zhu Qing to send Su Qin off.
Suqin turned and left, her figure quickly disappearing on the palace road.
Xie Yao looked at Suqin's back with a complicated look in her eyes. She had understood what the eldest princess meant, and therefore felt that the eldest princess's life was not easy.
The eldest princess may not know the whole story of what happened in the palace today, but she knows that something happened in the palace.
She asked Suqin to come here to show her attitude...
I don't want anything to happen to the emperor.
As long as the emperor is alive, the other princesses will not care anymore.
If it were in the past, the eldest princess would definitely not have such an attitude. I guess she was still hurt by the emperor's behavior last time.
Xie Yao chuckled, this is... those who do evil will eventually perish.
The emperor took action against the eldest princess because he was afraid that she would help him and His Highness, and he wanted to block her retreat.
He certainly didn't realize at that time that he had blocked his own retreat.
