Chapter 511 Forcing her to reveal the certification
Consort Wu was taken aback, then suddenly stood up, picked up a shard of ceramic from the ground, pointed it at him, and said, "Who are you? What do you want?"
The man in black glanced at her, a disdainful smile on his face. "What do I want to do? I want revenge, of course!"
Consort Wu was shocked, "Who are you?"
The man in black lowered his voice and said, "You've offended too many people, can't you remember who it is for a moment?"
Consort Wu harmed too many people, and many people wanted to take revenge on her, so it's really hard to think of anyone right now.
She lowered her head guiltily.
The man in black slowly pulled down his mask, revealing his cold and aloof face.
When Consort Wu saw his face, she was greatly shocked. "You... how are you still alive?"
Hai Qingyang sneered, "You're not dead, so how could I be?"
Consort Wu quickly stepped back, "What do you want with me after bringing me out of the palace?"
Hai Qingyang grabbed her hair and yanked her up forcefully. "What I want to do is kill you, of course."
Consort Wu was terrified and struggled, saying, "Don't kill me! The murder of your brother had nothing to do with me. It was the Emperor who wanted him dead. I was just a scapegoat."
Hai Qingyang said coldly, "I know."
Consort Wu asked in surprise, "If you knew all this, why did you still want to kill me?"
Hai Qingyang slammed her to the ground. "The mastermind is indeed the Emperor, but this wouldn't have happened without your help."
Consort Wu had been in the Cold Palace for so long, and all she wanted was to survive. She knelt down before him and said, "I beg you, please spare me. I know I was wrong, and I have suffered a lot over the years. Please spare my life."
Hai Qingyang took out a dagger and patted her face. "You want to live?"
Consort Wu nodded emphatically.
Hai Qingyang lightly traced the tip of his knife across her face and said coldly, "Fine, I'll give you a chance to live. Do something for me."
Consort Wu nodded emphatically, as if she had grasped a lifeline, "Alright, whatever it is, I will take care of it for you."
Hai Qingyang patted her face with the dagger again, "Kill the emperor for me."
Consort Wu's face darkened slightly, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak for a moment.
Hai Qingyang straightened up and sneered, "Didn't you just say you were willing to do anything for me?"
Consort Wu was pale and remained silent with her head down.
Hai Qingyang raised his dagger, preparing to stab her.
Consort Wu was so frightened that she shouted, "Fine, I'll go!"
Hai Qingyang slowly lowered his hand. "You really dare to go?"
Consort Wu nodded slightly, as if deflated.
Hai Qingyang was just bluffing her; he didn't really want her to kill the emperor.
She probably wouldn't have even reached the emperor's bedchamber before she was killed.
Hai Qingyang got back to the point: "Before you kill the emperor, there is one more thing I need you to do."
Consort Wu asked in surprise, "Is there anything else?"
Hai Qingyang slowly said, "Do you still remember the time you framed the Empress?"
After a flash of surprise in her eyes, Consort Wu lowered her head again guiltily, "I remember."
Hai Qingyang said coldly, "Those who knew you framed the Empress back then should all be dead by now."
Consort Wu did not reply.
Hai Qingyang continued, "Isn't there another nanny with you? She knows medicine. When you found out there was something wrong with the baby in your belly, she was the one who took care of you."
Consort Wu turned her head and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Hai Qingyang stabbed her neck with a dagger, "Where is that old woman?"
Consort Wu gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Hai Qingyang said sternly, "Are you going to talk or not?"
Consort Wu trembled with fear. After trying to calm herself down, she replied, "Didn't Your Majesty already know that I wronged the Empress back then? Why are you investigating this matter again now?"
Hai Qingyang sneered and said, "Back then, the Emperor banished you to the harem on the pretext of causing chaos in the harem. He never told anyone that the Empress was wronged by you."
"Furthermore, you may not know this, but I've heard from other people that there was nothing wrong with the child in your womb back then. It was someone who poisoned you, which is why your child died young."
Consort Wu was shocked. When she had wronged the Empress, she had lost her baby because she was already in poor health. Now someone was telling her that someone had indeed poisoned her, which was why she was in this state.
After her initial shock, she asked Hai Qingyang in a hoarse voice, "Who is it?"
Hai Qingyang replied, "Consort Duan..."
Consort Wu was startled, but instead of being astonished as before, she remained calm, as if she had known all along. "She is already dead."
Hai Qingyang then added, "To be precise, it should be His Majesty."
Consort Wu suddenly looked up at him.
Hai Qingyang slowly stood up. "If it weren't for him, how could Consort Duan have dared to do this? The Emperor loves to find scapegoats for himself. He always hides behind the scenes, letting you women fight over him."
Consort Wu shook her head and said, "Impossible! Why would he kill his own flesh and blood? Why!"
