The emperor's face was gloomy and he glared at Concubine Ru.
There was murderous intent in his eyes. He had never regretted as much as he did now.
He actually married Gao Ruer, this vicious woman.
He also got her pregnant with his child.
Watching her acting in front of him again and again, he actually believed it every time.
The emperor became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, which made his headache worse. He held his head and fell to the ground.
“It hurts. It hurts so much…”
Two months ago, the emperor knew that Hua Wanru was still alive. In his joy, he immediately canonized Hua Wanru as the queen. The imperial edict was sent to Beiping Prefecture via carrier pigeon.
Then he also inadvertently found out that Concubine Ru was actually killing concubines right under his nose.
In a rage, he banished Concubine Ru to the cold palace, and also confined Gao Ju'an and Wei Ling in Gao's mansion, not allowing them to go out.
Just when he thought they could not get out of trouble, he suddenly had a headache and even vomited blood.
All the imperial doctors examined the emperor's pulse.
I don't know what's wrong with him.
Only the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau said that the patient seemed to have been poisoned, but they didn't know what the poison was.
Until Wang De received the letter from Concubine Ru.
The emperor then realized that Concubine Ru had been poisoning him for more than a year. She gave him a little poison every day, so he had never discovered it. Now Concubine Ru was imprisoned in the cold palace.
No one gave him the drug, but he got poisoned instead.
The emperor just felt it was extremely ironic and ridiculous.
In his previous life, Hua Wanru prepared medicinal food for him for a whole year in order to cure his illness and recuperate his body.
When his health recovered, he sent her to the cold palace.
In his life, he favored Concubine Ru, who actually poisoned him for a year.
It's really like the will of heaven, retribution will come.
The emperor originally wanted to kill Concubine Ru, Gao Ju'an and Wei Ling directly because he didn't want to be held hostage by them.
But every time he had a headache, he felt like he was living a life worse than death and wished he could dig through his scalp.
Moreover, the imperial doctors had no idea what kind of poison Concubine Ru had given them.
The emperor originally wanted to use force and arrested Wei Ling and Gao Ju'an to threaten Concubine Ru.
It was at this time that I discovered that these three people were not relatives at all! It seemed that Concubine Ru didn't care who died.
The emperor was completely at a loss. He could only compromise and release Concubine Ru from the cold palace. All treatment was the same as before.
He also had to release Gao Ju'an and Wei Ling.
Gao Ju'an actually took the opportunity to ask to be the Inspector General to supervise all officials.
The emperor was very angry, but for the sake of his own life, he had to agree.
Wei Ling also took the opportunity to place many of her people in the court and the palace.
Now almost half of the entire court is under the control of Wei Ling and others.
The emperor had been having headaches recently and only went to court every other day. Many things were handled by Wei Ling and Ju An.
When the emperor thought of all this, the more he looked at Concubine Ru, the more angry he became. His entire face was distorted with anger and headache.
"What do you want?"
Concubine Ru curled her lips and spoke slowly.
"I think what I have said is very clear."
"I want to be the queen. I want to be the mother of the country!"
The emperor snorted coldly and refused directly.
"This is impossible, don't even think about it."
When Concubine Ru heard him say this, her face immediately turned cold.
"Your Majesty, you are not still thinking about Hua Wanru."
"Don't forget, she's already married and has entered the bridal chamber with someone else! Now her body is dirty!"
"It's impossible for me to enter the palace to serve you!"
When the Emperor heard Concubine Ru say this about Hua Wanru, his heart burned with rage, his eyes spewed flames, and he wished he could rush forward and slap her hard a few times.
However, Concubine Ru raised her eyebrows and sat there steadily, showing no fear at all.
It was as if he had already expected that the emperor would not, or dared not, actually take action.
Concubine Ru said calmly, "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. The child in my belly is your own flesh and blood."
Upon hearing this, the emperor paused and stopped, but his voice was still extremely cold: "I don't care about you or the bastard in your belly!"
These words were like a sharp sword piercing Concubine Ru's heart, causing her great pain.
She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her belly, trying to comfort the fetus in her belly.
She whispered softly into her stomach.
"Don't be afraid, baby. Your father is just joking. He actually loves you very much."
After saying this, a tear fell from the corner of his eye and disappeared in an instant.
The emperor was stunned, and his eyes involuntarily turned to Concubine Ru's bulging belly.
Before this, when he didn't know that Hua Wanru was still alive, he regarded Concubine Ru as his beloved, and naturally, he was full of pity and love for the child in her belly.
After all, this is his first child.
At that time, he would stay in Concubine Ru's bedroom every night.
They will even patiently tell all kinds of beautiful stories to their unborn children...
Recalling the good times in the past, the emperor couldn't help feeling a little guilty and conflicted.
The emperor subconsciously took a step forward and then stopped.
He closed his eyes and moved his gaze away from Concubine Ru's belly.
Everything seems to be irreversible!
The only person he truly loves is Hua Wanru.
After all, the child that Concubine Ru was carrying was not his and Hua Wanru's child. This child was just a substitute!
To replace the child he lost in his previous life!
Concubine Ru knew that the emperor was completely planning to give up on them and their son, so she could no longer show mercy to the emperor.
Because she has to protect her children besides herself.
Concubine Ru looked at the emperor and said coldly, "Your Majesty, even if you don't like my child, you should still be careful about the poison in your body! Only I can cure this poison."
The emperor paused. The slight guilt he felt just now disappeared in an instant, and he cursed through gritted teeth.
"That vicious woman."
Concubine Ru smiled and said, "Humph, Your Majesty, what are you talking about! I just want to protect myself!"
"Besides, a man without ruthlessness cannot be a hero!"
"Although I am a woman, I also think this statement makes sense."
"Think about it, if I didn't do this, would I still be staying in the cold palace?"
"The cold palace is too cold!"
Concubine Ru smiled.
There was a knock on the hall door.
The Emperor and Concubine Ru looked towards the entrance of the hall.
Concubine Ru frowned and looked at Wang De. Wang De understood and hurried out to check, and rushed in with a bad look on his face.
He quickly said to Concubine Ru, "My Lady, this is bad!"
"The servants are here to report that the entire Liang family is dead!"
Concubine Ru nodded expressionlessly.
The emperor was shocked and stared at Wang De, "Prince Liang's family? How did they die?"
Wang De first looked at Concubine Ru.
After Concubine Ru nodded, Wang Decai said respectfully to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Liang's family was... poisoned to death!"
