Mrs. Mi screamed and fainted. Mrs. Mi was also distraught and burst into tears on the spot.
Mr. Mi murmured: "How could it be, how could it be?"
Concubine Mi glared at Zhao Xiang angrily, pointing at him with hatred in her eyes: "This is all their fault! Ayang had a conflict with the prince of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, and the prince killed Ayang with his own hands. Even the emperor, who knew the truth, helped to cover it up, and said that he would conduct a thorough investigation and give an explanation to the Mi family and me! Haha, who are you talking to to deceive people like this! I am not that stupid!"
"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't, wouldn't..."
She wouldn't attack the emperor! She was truly heartbroken and desperate! Since the emperor treated her like this, what was wrong with her retaliating?
Mr. Mi also collapsed to the ground, his eyes blank, tears streaming down his face.
"So that's how it is! That's how it is."
Zhao Xiang was a little surprised. He knew the truth of the matter. Most of what Concubine Mi said was wrong.
"Who told the Imperial Concubine all this? Has the Imperial Concubine never thought that she was deceived?"
"I'm not that stupid! Ah Yang just disappeared like that. Doesn't that explain everything? Otherwise, how could the Prince of Liguo Mansion and so many people from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and Shuntian Prefecture not be able to find such a living person? How could they not have even a clue? Unless, they didn't really want to look for him!"
Zhao Xiang sighed, "Your Majesty was deceived. At least, the person who told you this didn't tell you the whole truth. The eldest young master of the Mi family is indeed dead, but—"
Before Zhao Xiang could finish, Concubine Mi and Master Mi shouted at the same time.
"Ayang is dead! You guys really knew about it! If you knew, why didn't you tell us?"
"You, you still dare to accuse me of lying! How dare you! If I hadn't already known about this, how long would you have kept it from me?"
Yan sneered, "Hasn't that always been the case? Imperial Concubine, are you still going to listen to his nonsense? Lord Zhao is a man of many words. Your Majesty, you must think carefully about what you should and shouldn't listen to. Otherwise, you'll be deceived in vain. Your Majesty is still dreaming!"
Zhao Xiang said, "Your Majesty, the eldest young master of the Mi family was murdered by the second and third wives of the Duke of Li's mansion. They really wanted to put the blame on the Duke and the Crown Prince, and even on my daughter, but unfortunately they failed. The Emperor is not in a position to punish them for the time being, so he said that to the outside world. But sooner or later, he will give an explanation to Your Majesty and the Mi family. The Emperor will not lie, and there is no need to lie. Why can't Your Majesty be patient and wait!"
"Impossible!" Master Mi fainted, stunned once again. The shock and stimulation he had received today were really too much, making him feel as if the whole world was wrong, and he was in a trance for a while.
Master Mi murmured, "How could the Second and Third Masters of the Zhou family harm my son? No, no, we clearly..."
Zhao Xiang sneered, "You're obviously our partners, aren't you? You're just trying to get something from a tiger and you're still in the dark! The second and third branches of the Zhou family aren't good people to begin with!"
Yan sneered, "Master Zhao, you're acting as if you're the only good person in the world."
Zhao Xiang glanced at her coldly, "At least I have a clear conscience! I am worthy of Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, and my parents. What about you, Yan? Do you dare to speak?"
Yan felt guilty for no reason, snorted and turned her head away, looking as if she was disdainful of talking to Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang was too lazy to pay attention to her. He only wanted to say to Concubine Mi, "Your Highness, why don't you think about this? The person next to you is a traitor. Have you forgotten how they treated the Emperor and Your Highness? Your Highness actually cooperated with her. Aren't you afraid that she will tear you apart and scheme against you until nothing remains?"
"How can you be any better!" Concubine Mi was filled with resentment and resentment. Zhao Xiang could not persuade her with just a few words. "Zhao Xiang! Your eloquence is useless! I have already taken this step, so I must have my own ideas! I don't believe a word you say! As for the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, I will just destroy it all. What's the big deal? Zhao Xiang, I don't want to listen to your nagging anymore. You and the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, I want you all to die!"
Since the families of Mr. Zhou Er and Mr. Zhou San were also suspects, it was simple: just kill them all! She didn't want to investigate the truth or look for any evidence; there was no need for that!
Anyone who has wronged the Mi family, anyone who has harmed the Mi family, will be sentenced to death if they are suspected!
She has the final say now, so does she need to have any reservations?
Zhao Xiang sighed and looked at Concubine Mi with some pity. "Your Highness, would you rather trust Yan, the criminal who once oppressed and murdered you, than trust the Emperor? Your Highness, it's time to repent. Why are you doing this?"
The eldest prince is filial and the emperor is kind, so what is she still dissatisfied with?
Zhao Xiang really didn’t understand why she was so resentful!
If Concubine Mi could listen to this, she would not be Concubine Mi. She immediately smiled coldly: "Shut up! I don't need your teachings. No matter how eloquent you are, you can't escape unscathed today! I won't allow it! Come, kill Zhao Xiang for me!"
Yan smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine is indeed decisive and ruthless. You two, go forward and see Master Zhao off!"
Yan had long lost her patience. Even if Concubine Mi wanted to listen to Zhao Xiang's nagging, she would interrupt him. Unexpectedly, this Concubine was even more impatient than her! Ha, this is quite good.
The two eunuchs beside Yan immediately stepped forward with murderous intent, attempting to drag Zhao Xiang to a corner and strangle him to death, so as to create the illusion that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Zhao Xiang didn't seem anxious at all. He glanced at Concubine Mi, shook his head and sighed, "Your Highness, you really won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and she felt something was wrong. However, before she could think about it, she saw a man descend from the sky, kicking the two eunuchs one by one and then protecting them in front of Zhao Xiang: "Let's see who dares!"
Concubine Mi, Yan and others took a closer look. Who else could it be but Zhou Han Sheng?
"you!"
Yan was shocked, and her bad premonition became stronger. She had a feeling that she had been fooled! Concubine Mi, that bitch, had accomplished nothing. Although this bitch was easy to control, she was indeed too stupid. So... was all this a lie?
Without waiting for others to react, Yan suddenly rushed forward and strangled Concubine Mi. She took out a dagger from somewhere and placed it on Concubine Mi's neck, smiling coldly: "Don't come over here, or I will kill her!"
