Chapter 384 Concubine Liang’s Hatred and Cruelty
"Gao Peng confessed?"
Concubine Liang's body shook violently, and a few strands of her hair, which had been neatly tied, fell out, making her look quite dishevelled.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flickering with a faint light: "Your Majesty...when did you start to doubt me?"
The sound was so soft that it seemed to come from far away.
The emperor stared at her coldly, the gold thread on his dragon robe glowing coldly: "When Tang Bo's family was exterminated, he escaped by chance. He has been hiding his identity for many years, and the prince was not found until last month."
He spoke clearly, but every word stabbed Liang Fei like a sharp blade, "You killed his entire family. Even if he dies, he will take you with him."
Concubine Liang dug her nails deep into her palms, and blood oozed out between her fingers.
She stared at Tang Bo who was kneeling beside her, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are... not dead?"
The words were almost squeezed out from between teeth: "Why didn't you die?"
Tang Bo raised his head, a ferocious smile on his face: "Thanks to the queen, I have crawled out of the gates of hell. I want to seek revenge on behalf of my family."
He turned his gaze to the emperor, and his voice suddenly choked up, "Back then, Concubine Liang poisoned the queen. As the imperial physician, I failed to detect it in time, causing the evil plot to succeed. I deserve death!"
He kowtowed heavily, his forehead hitting the gold brick with a dull sound, "I only ask Your Majesty to severely punish the real culprit and let the wronged soul rest in peace!"
The prince suddenly stumbled forward, his eyes red as blood: "The Queen Mother treats you like a sister, and she is never stingy in sharing what she has with you."
"Why did you want to hurt her?!"
"Have you never dreamed of her asking for your life in all these years?"
Concubine Liang suddenly burst into laughter. The sound was sharp and piercing, totally different from her usual gentle appearance. She suddenly pulled off the pearl hairpin on her head, and her black hair fell like a waterfall: "Calling for my life? Hahaha... let her do it!"
She laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "When he was alive, he was a waste. What kind of waves can he make after he dies?"
"Bitch!" The prince was furious, veins popped out on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists, "How did the Queen Mother ever let you down?!"
Concubine Liang's gaze fell on the prince's face. When she saw the same eyebrows and eyes as Empress Sun, her pupils suddenly contracted and memories of the past came flooding back like a tide.
"Just her?"
Concubine Liang's voice suddenly rose, with a hysterical frenzy, "A fool who can't even read an account book is qualified to be the mother of the country?!"
She pointed at the emperor fiercely, "I am a hundred times smarter than her, and I am proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but the emperor only sees her! Why?!"
"She just relies on having a good aunt."
The emperor slammed the table and stood up, shaking the teacup to the ground, and the tea spread a dark color on the dragon table: "How dare you! Concubine Liang, you dare to slander the late queen in front of me and disrespect the queen mother."
"slander?"
Concubine Liang smiled foolishly, tears leaving hideous marks on her face, "Your Majesty, you know in your heart that she is a fool."
"You know, I was jealous of her, madly jealous, but she didn't notice it at all."
She suddenly looked at the emperor with a distant gaze, "I was so happy when I first entered the palace. I have liked you for a long time, but you don't know it at all."
"But you always go to see the queen and never look at me."
"Later, the queen became pregnant, and you were extremely happy."
"Not long after, I also got pregnant with Xiao'er, and you just gave me a few indifferent gifts."
"Why can she have everything just by smiling gently? Her child is destined to be more noble than my child, and my child is destined to bow down to her child for the rest of his life!"
"I don't accept it!"
"Is that all?"
The prince's voice was hoarse and he stared at Concubine Liang, as if he was seeing the true face of the woman in front of him for the first time.
Concubine Liang sneered, with a crazy light flashing in her eyes: "Isn't this enough?"
Her voice suddenly lowered, with a strange tenderness, "But later, the emperor favored that bitch Chen again..."
"I finally understood that the emperor's favor is nothing more than this..."
She raised her head, her laughter mixed with a shrill cry: "How ridiculous, I worked so hard to win your favor and killed Sun, and you turned around and favored someone else."
"There are so many women in the palace. Can I kill them all?"
The prince's fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, and his knuckles turned white. "So, you are pouring all this twisted hatred into the matter of seizing the throne?"
His voice was trembling, with a chill in his bones. "You have been fooling me all these years?"
Concubine Liang tidied up her messy hair and smiled dignifiedly, as if she was still the virtuous Concubine Liang: "Xiao'er is much better than you. He is the most suitable heir."
A trace of malicious pleasure flashed in her eyes, "You are just like your stupid mother. Weren't you quite respectful when you called me Mother Liang all these years?"
She laughed softly, and that laughter made people shudder: "Inside and outside the palace, who doesn't know that the prince is very filial to Concubine Liang? As long as you think about the spirit of the late queen in heaven seeing all this..."
She paused deliberately, her eyes full of malicious pleasure, "I feel so relieved that I can't express it in words."
"Bitch!"
The Crown Prince suddenly jumped up and kicked Murong Xiao, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground. The Second Prince was caught off guard and fell heavily on the floor with a dull thud.
"Comfortable, huh?"
The prince's voice seemed to come from hell, "I will make you more comfortable!"
He swung his fist and struck at Murong Xiao, each punch filled with hatred. Although Murong Xiao knew some fighting skills, he had no power to fight back in front of the furious prince, and was soon beaten black and blue, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
"Stop! Stop now!" Concubine Liang screamed and tried to rush over, but was held down by the guards. "Xiao'er! My Xiao'er!"
"Prince! Are you crazy?"
"Stop it now, don't hit him, don't hit him..."
Concubine Liang cried and shouted, no longer showing her previous arrogance.
The emperor watched coldly for a moment, watching the prince vent all his years of resentment on his fists and feet. It was not until Murong Xiao curled up on the ground and groaned that he slammed the table and said, "Enough!"
The sound was like a thunderclap, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
The prince stood up panting. His knuckles were broken and bleeding, but he didn't feel any pain. He stared at Concubine Liang, the hatred in his eyes almost turned into reality: "You took advantage of my longing for my mother... and my filial piety. Over the years, I actually respected you as an elder."
Concubine Liang looked at Murong Xiao distressedly, with a crazy and twisted expression: "What a pity, it's almost there, it's almost there, I can see you kneeling in front of my Xiao'er, bowing your head as a minister."
The prince didn't want to see this disgusting face again.
"Father, you must make the decision for me. I...I...I am sorry, mother!"
At this moment, the prince, who had not been weak for many years, silently shed a line of tears.
The emperor's heart was shaken.
Concubine Liang, you really deserve to die!
