The emperor looked at Chu Jinghuai and shook his head, "Impossible, I don't believe it, Queen, you are lying to me!"
Even now, the emperor still refused to believe that Chu Jinghuai was his son. Perhaps it wasn't that he didn't believe it, but that he couldn't accept that the person he had treated harshly for over twenty years was actually his son.
He stumbled over to Concubine De, clamped his hand around her jaw, and angrily snarled, "You bitch! You knew about this a long time ago, so why didn't you tell me? Why did you help the Queen deceive me?"
Concubine De raised her head and looked at the emperor, the corners of her mouth curled up, "Your Majesty, don't you remember? I told you that Prince Su is your child. I've said it countless times. Why don't you believe it?"
The emperor took a step back. She had said that, but she knew clearly that he had obtained evidence from the imperial physician, yet she deliberately said in front of him that Chu Jinghuai was his son. How could he believe it?
"You clearly knew that the imperial physician helped the Queen to give false testimony, why didn't you tell me?"
Concubine De looked at the foolish man in front of her and said calmly, "Why should I tell you?"
The emperor's face flushed with anger. He grabbed Concubine De's neck tightly with both hands and said, "Bitch! You deserve to die!"
However, Concubine De was unusually calm. She slowly closed her eyes, without struggling or begging for mercy, and allowed the emperor to strangle her neck.
At this moment, Chen Jingxi picked up the teacup beside him and threw it at the emperor without hesitation.
With a "bang", the teacup hit the emperor's head with water.
At this moment, the entire court fell into deathly silence again. Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief with their eyes wide open.
Chen Jingxi gave a fake smile and spread out his hands, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
The emperor covered his head, which was hurting from being hit, and roared, "Capture Chen Jingxi for me!"
After the emperor finished speaking, he waited for a moment, but no one dared to move.
The soldiers drew their swords, eager to see who would dare to move. Their princess was already seated on the throne, so what if she hit the emperor? She wasn't dead! They didn't praise the princess for her accurate throw, which was already a great courtesy.
The emperor looked at the ministers and guards who bowed their heads and remained silent, and the anger in his heart became even more difficult to contain.
He rushed over, kicking and cursing at the ministers: "Useless things! A bunch of useless people! Die!"
Chen Jingxi ignored the emperor's madness and anger, she looked at Concubine De.
What Defei mentioned just now about what happened in Chenfei's palace shows that Defei knew how Chenfei died.
For so many years, people all over the world have said that Chu Jinghuai was an evil star who killed Concubine Chen. Although Chu Jinghuai himself did not care about these rumors, he would not allow anyone to slander him like this.
"Mother, was the death of Concubine Chen related to the Empress?"
At this question, the emperor froze in an instant, and his mad roar came to an abrupt end.
Everyone's eyes turned to Concubine De at the same time.
Concubine De glanced at the confused faces of the crowd. She pulled her lips into a smile and suddenly wanted to say, "As for this matter, we still have to ask our Queen."
"What do you mean?" the emperor demanded.
At this moment, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on the queen.
What De Fei means is...
The Queen seemed to have anticipated this moment. She took a deep breath and said in a calm but resolute tone, "I poisoned Concubine Chen."
As soon as the queen finished speaking, the entire court fell into silence again.
The emperor's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty rage. He glared at the queen with gritted teeth and said word by word, "Bitch, say what you just said again."
De Fei suddenly burst into laughter. "Why, Your Majesty, don't you believe it? Didn't you see how Chen Fei died? She just lay on the ground, crawling and begging the Queen and me to save her."
"You were there? Why didn't you save her?"
"I originally wanted to save her, but when I thought about her death and seeing your grief-stricken expression, I didn't want to save her anymore."
"Bitch, you all deserve to die. Come, execute them for me, execute them! Execute these two bitches, the Queen and Consort De. Come, come..."
The emperor roared, even a little unconscious, "Rebellious son, don't you want the throne? I will pass it to you, and you will immediately order the execution of these two bitches. I want them dead!"
Looking at the emperor's crown falling off, his short hair disheveled, and looking like neither human nor ghost, Chu Jinghuai took Chen Jingxi's hand and left.
The emperor roared at Chu Jinghuai's back, "Rebellious son, come back to me! I won't let you leave. You're a traitor unless I pass the throne to you. Aren't you afraid of being cursed for eternity in the future? I'm waiting to see you get stabbed in the back by the world."
Looking at this man whom she had loved and hated before, the Queen couldn't help but say, "Emperor, stop yelling! At this point, do you still think anyone will obey your orders?"
The emperor pointed at the queen and said, "Just because I betrayed you, you treat me like this? You... ahem... you are so cruel!"
"Who could be more vicious than you, instigating Concubine Yao to poison and murder the late emperor?"
"You actually know..."
"We are husband and wife! I also know that the Prince of Xiang was born to you and Concubine Yao."
The emperor's face changed several times. He covered his chest, coughed violently several times, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed up blood.
After coming out of the Golden Palace, Chu Jinghuai remained silent. Chen Jingxi didn't know what to say after hearing so much.
Just a few people can cause so many messes. It can only be said that there are few normal people in the royal family.
There were only the two of them on the long palace road. A cold wind blew and Chen Jingxi couldn't help but shiver.
Chu Jinghuai took off his cloak and tied it on her. "Jingxi, do you also think that the royal family is dirty and inhumane?"
Chen Jingxi was stunned and didn't say anything.
Chu Jinghuai suddenly grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, and said softly: "Jingxi, believe me, I'm not that kind of person. I'm different from them. I will never let you down."
Chen Jingxi raised her eyes and saw that he was frowning. She reached out and brushed his brows away, her tone unusually gentle: "I believe you."
"As long as you believe me." As long as she believes in him and stays by his side in this life, that is enough.
"Don't tell me all this nonsense. This palace is so big, and you didn't even call for a sedan chair. I'm tired from walking."
Chu Jinghuai said gently, "Then I will carry the princess away."
"Am I heavy?"
"Uh… not heavy."
"You hesitated, you just thought I was too heavy."
"Princess, you must believe me. I don't feel that you are overweight at all. It must be that I have neglected exercise recently, which is why you have this illusion."
Chen Jingxi immediately laughed.
Chu Jinghuai's expression also relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Princess, are you trying to cheer me up?"
"Don't be so self-indulgent."
Chu Jinghuai raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes full of doting: "It's Princess."
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
