Chapter 535 Confession
The Queen Mother looked at Queen Song with eyes that seemed to wish she could skin her alive.
She valued Queen Song and the Duke of Song's Mansion, but no matter how much she valued her natal family, it could not surpass her own son.
Her son had already disobeyed her as his mother in order to marry Lin Qingyin. Could she, in order to protect Queen Song's position as empress, offer the woman her son had risked his life to marry to the emperor?!
At that time, she didn't even know that the emperor liked Lin Qingyin. How could she do such a thing?!
At that time, she thought that the emperor showed leniency to Queen Song because of her support and did not pursue the crime of harming the royal heir.
The Queen Mother knew that the person who had an affair with Lin Qingyin was the Emperor. She also regretted supporting the Emperor and tried every means to kill Shen Wan and Prince Ling to avenge her son.
If the Empress Dowager didn't lack the ability, she would have wanted to kill the Emperor.
Now she was told that the green hat on her son, Prince Jin's head was made by Queen Song, and she was even pretended to lead her to suspect the emperor.
The Queen Mother stared at Queen Song intently, "I treat you like my own child, and this is how you repay me?!"
Queen Song said, "If there were other ways to help me keep my position as empress, I would not have resorted to this desperate measure..."
She hated Lin Qingyin.
Her life was ruined by Lin Qingyin!
Lin Qingyin snatched her position as Crown Princess. If the Queen Mother had not been angry with Lin Qingyin, and she knew that the Emperor liked Lin Qingyin and thought that she might be of use to him in the future, she would never have allowed Lin Qingyin to live.
She drugged Lin Qingyin and made her lose her virginity to the emperor. She thought Lin Qingyin would be afraid that the empress dowager would find out and implicate the Lin family and the emperor, and thus commit suicide.
As a result, not only did Lin Qingyin not commit suicide, she also became pregnant with the emperor's child. If her people had not seen Lin Qingyin's maid secretly buying pregnancy-preserving medicine outside the palace, she would have been kept in the dark!
But she was still a step too late. When she sent people to Prince Jin's Mansion to kill Lin Qingyin, Lin Qingyin had already escaped. The maid dressed up as Lin Qingyin, was stabbed by his men, and crawled to push down the candlestick, making everyone think that the Princess of Jin had died in the fire.
Knowing that Lin Qingyin was the person the emperor cherished in his heart, Queen Song dared not let Lin Qingyin give birth to the child in her belly. She also did not dare to let the emperor know that the person who died was not the Princess of Jin, but just a maid.
But she told the empress dowager about this. Lin Qingyin had an affair and was pregnant. The empress dowager sent people out of the capital to hunt down Lin Qingyin, but by the time they found Lin Qingyin's whereabouts, the two illegitimate children had already been born.
The assassin sent out stabbed Lin Qingyin, and she fell off a cliff with her child. She thought she would die and could rest easy from then on. However, it turned out that Lin Qingyin was holding not a prince but a princess. Because she fell into the water, the child was adopted by Duke Dingguo. She grew up under the care of Duke Dingguo and Yun, and the emperor also loved her very much.
The maid whose whereabouts could not be found sent the child to Old Master Pei. The Pei family was a scholarly family, but they actually asked a military general to teach martial arts to this child who was thrown at their doorstep!
Chen Wan was favored no less than her daughter, Princess Shouzhen!
The education Xiao Huaijin received was no less than that of Xiao Yun!
Which prince in the palace didn't live in fear? They turned a disaster into a blessing!
Thinking of this, Queen Song regretted that she had given a bowl of abortion medicine to abort a prince who posed no threat to her son, and who might not even be a prince. Instead, she created a strong enemy for her son.
If the emperor had not dreamed that Lin Qingyin gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, he would have always been thinking about her and might have made her son the crown prince long ago.
Queen Song was filled with regret and wished she could dig out Lin Qingyin's bones and grind them into ashes.
The Empress Dowager didn't care about Queen Song's difficulties. She presented Lin Qingyin to the Emperor, which was a humiliation for her son, but compared with the death of Prince Jin, this matter was not worth mentioning.
The Queen Mother endured the bloody taste in her throat and spoke word by word, "Why did you kill Prince Jin?!"
She knew that Queen Song liked Prince Jin because he was the legitimate son and the eldest son of the late emperor. The Queen Mother never doubted that it would not be her son who would inherit the throne of the late emperor. Prince Jin did not need to rely on marriage to win over court officials. Ever since Queen Song gave birth to him, she had been the Queen Mother's choice for Crown Princess.
The Duke of Song's Mansion has always held Queen Song to the standards of a Crown Princess.
Because her son was disobedient and was bewitched by Lin Qingyin, the empress dowager could not persuade him. In addition, the late emperor was not very willing to let Prince Jin marry Queen Song, so the empress dowager agreed to her son's request.
But the Queen Mother also promised Queen Song that the position of the Crown Prince's concubine would be hers, and in the future she would at least be a noble concubine, or even the Queen.
Just because she couldn't become the Crown Princess, she wanted to kill her son—
The Queen Mother couldn't accept it.
Queen Song knelt on the ground and said nothing.
The Queen Mother has never been a patient person. The two eunuchs brought Princess Shouzhen in.
"Mother!"
Princess Shouzhen couldn't struggle and shouted.
Queen Song looked back and saw a slap on Princess Shouzhen's face.
Nanny Gui was very strong, and with one slap, five finger marks were clearly visible on Princess Shouzhen's delicate face.
Queen Song was furious, "How dare you hit my daughter?!"
Aunt Gui ignored her.
Another slap.
The Queen Mother said, "Beat me! Beat her until she confesses!"
The Queen Mother actually loved Princess Shouzhen very much, but both of her children died at the hands of Queen Song and Prince Qing, and any love she had for her was completely washed away by her immense hatred.
Besides, a few slaps won’t kill anyone, she just wants the truth.
Nanny Gui was the Empress Dowager's confidante and obeyed her orders. If Empress Song didn't speak, she would slap her in the face again and again.
Queen Song was furious, "I want your life!"
Queen Song pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and stabbed towards Nanny Gui, but before she could touch Nanny Gui, the teacup lid in Xie Jingyu's hand flew over and hit Queen Song on the ankle. Queen Song fell to the ground, and the Nine Phoenix Crown on her head fell to the ground, and the South Pearls on it rolled all over.
Nanny Gui was startled, and the Queen Mother said, "Keep fanning!"
Pop.
Before Aunt Gui turned around, she slapped her.
Queen Song lay on the ground, her heart aching. She said to the Queen Mother, "I have no reason to kill Prince Jin!"
"I was the one who poisoned the wedding wine, but I meant it for Lin Qingyin. As long as she dies, the position of Crown Princess will be mine!"
Queen Song burst into tears, "I don't know how the poisoned wine was drunk by Prince Jin. Lin Qingyin is fine, but Prince Jin is dead..."
She has liked her cousin since she was a child, and everyone told her that when she grew up, she would marry her cousin and become the crown princess or queen.
She will be the most noble woman in the world.
But when she grew up, her cousin fell in love with Lin Qingyin and wanted to give her the position of Crown Princess.
She thought her aunt would help her, but her aunt only advised her to be patient.
She was unwilling to accept it.
That's why she poisoned Lin Qingyin.
But she never expected that in the end, Lin Qingyin did not die, but her cousin whom she had loved since childhood died.
This is how the King of Jin died.
Upon learning the truth, the Queen Mother was so angry she was speechless. However, she also felt something was wrong, because Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu said that Queen Song and Prince Qing had killed Prince Jin. "Was it Prince Qing who instigated you to poison the wedding wine?"
Queen Song shook her head, "This matter has nothing to do with Prince Qing."
"Nothing?"
Xie Jingyu laughed.
Queen Song and the Queen Mother both looked at him.
Xie Jingyu said, "I was sold out by Prince Qing, and I still counted the money for him."
"The one who replaced the poisoned wine was none other than Prince Qing."
