Chapter 318 Emperor Xuande wakes up
Rong Fei's face changed drastically, and she shouted urgently, "Shut up!"
Mr. Bai curled his lips and smiled, "I can shut up, but can you stop the people from talking?"
"My death is not a pity. Even if a person dies, what matters more is his reputation after death. But everyone knows that General Gu is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Do you think anyone would really believe you if you accused him of regicide?"
"You've seen it all." Rong Fei was strong inside, and wouldn't be broken by a few words from Old Master Bai. After calming down, she regained her composure. "If he dared to protect the son of a traitor who murdered the king and seized the throne, then what's wrong with him?"
"It's a pity for your evidence. Since it's so hard to find, then don't let anyone find it in your lifetime."
Rong Fei curled her lips and said, "Gu Jian, I know that you hid Li Yuan, and it was quite secretive. So don't let him have the chance to see anyone."
"Your Majesty, you have done so much. Does the Eighth Prince know?" Li Mumu asked.
Rong Fei's expression changed. "He doesn't know, and he doesn't need to know."
Li Mumu knew that there was no need for Concubine Rong to lie at this time. After all, she had even admitted what she had done.
She felt that she was destined to win, so there was no need to deny it.
"What if he knew?"
"My son, of course he listens to me." Rong Fei looked at her, "You don't think that just because of a little favor, he would betray me as his mother for you? He just treats you a little differently, but he's not to the point of doing anything for you. Children are so naive."
Rong Fei set her sights on Xie Xun again. "Xie Xun, tell me, since you've survived, just live on. Why do you have to die? Not only will you die, but you'll also cause so many people to be buried with you. How can you be at peace with yourself?"
"So, you really think you're going to win?"
"What else?" Rong Fei smiled. "Since you all know my plan, I won't hide it anymore. Someone come, it's getting late. I still need to wake the emperor and make my son the crown prince."
She clapped her hands, and the guards rushed through the door.
"Will you surrender obediently, or will you resist?"
"If we resist, will the emperor's death be our fault?"
"Smart!" Rong Fei looked at Gu Jian, "General Gu is indeed a brave and resourceful man. It's a pity that you chose the wrong side. I can't keep you here."
"Take it."
She stepped back and said, "I know you are all masters, but I have raised these for a long time. I advise you not to struggle. This palace is like an iron barrel. You can't escape at all."
"Even if you escape, don't you care about the people? If you resist, the people along the North Vietnamese border will suffer a fate worse than death. Gu Jian, wouldn't you be willing to trade your family's lives for the peace of the people of the Five Cities?"
"Are you colluding with the North Vietnamese?" Bai Xiang actually knew it a long time ago, but he just wanted that confused person to hear it clearly.
Concubine Rong didn't say anything, but just smiled.
"Is there any point in saying this now? Gu Jian, my son will be a good emperor. You can rest assured. Whether it's Beiyue or Nanyu, my son will take his time. You can rest assured. Now it depends on your choice."
"What about Princess Qingyang? If you break the alliance with North Vietnam, what will happen to Princess Qingyang? Do you really not care at all?"
"If it weren't for me, she would be nothing more than a pariah. I brought her into the palace and let her enjoy the princess's favor for ten years. It's time for her to repay me. Even if she dies, she died for the people of Dongyao. The people will remember her kindness."
Gu Jian took a deep breath and said, "You are truly a heartless woman."
"Stop talking nonsense. Have you made your choice?" Rong Fei asked coldly, "My patience is running out. If you resist, you will bear the consequences."
"You don't want to surrender, right? Well, let's see who is stronger, you or they. Let's do it." After Rong Fei finished speaking, her face turned cold, and she was firmly protected behind her by the maid.
But at this moment, Emperor Xuande on the sickbed suddenly sat up, but Rong Fei and others did not notice because all their attention was on Gu Jian and others.
"Bold Concubine Rong, I didn't even know you had such thoughts." Emperor Xuande said in a deep voice.
Rong Fei suddenly looked behind her, her eyes flickering, but the fear in her eyes soon disappeared. "It's you? Good, very good, your medical skills are indeed extraordinary, Li Mumu, I underestimated you."
Li Mumu smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Concubine Rong. This isn't some rare poison, it's easy to cure."
Emperor Xuande glanced at Li Mumu, feeling resentful, but he knew that his life was still in the hands of these people.
He understood everything that Concubine Rong had just said to them, but he had been unable to move until just now, when he suddenly was able to move. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or someone did it on purpose.
He doesn't want to sit and wait for death.
"I have treated you well, yet you actually want to seize the throne. This is treasonous."
Concubine Rong curled her lips, "Your Majesty, how long have you been awake?"
"I have heard everything I should have heard, and even everything I shouldn't have heard. Concubine Rong, you framed the Crown Prince and then poisoned the Emperor. You deserve to be executed."
"Your Majesty, you woke up at the wrong time. If you had woken up later, you wouldn't be so angry, and you wouldn't be in so much pain."
"You... I already know your true face, and you still dare to act recklessly?"
"How can you do things halfway? Since I dare to poison, I'm naturally not afraid of death. Besides, how can you know who will die if you don't try?"
"Someone come!"
"Your Majesty, stop shouting. Everyone here belongs to me." Concubine Rong said proudly.
"You...you..." Emperor Xuande was so angry that he almost died.
She looked at the guards with weapons and said, "Gu Jian disobeyed the imperial order and killed the king to seize the throne. Why don't you take him down?"
"I'm not dead yet, you..."
Li Mumu rolled her eyes secretly. Would it be useful to reason at this time?
However, since Emperor Xuande already knows the true identity of Concubine Rong, there is no need to wait any longer.
She pulled the prepared fireworks from her sleeve and quickly shot them toward the open window.
Rong Fei was suddenly startled, "Hurry up, she has help."
Li Mumu laughed, and everyone laughed along with her.
Rong Fei was a little panicked, but she quickly comforted herself: "Even if there is help, what can it do..."
"Not very good, except for these dozens of idiots, all your people in the palace have been captured."
Bai Xiang held his breath and said, "Fei Rong, surrender."
"Impossible." Concubine Rong gave the order again, but apart from the people in front of her, no one else came in.
She didn't understand what was going on.
