Chapter 466 Cruel
Seeing Qiuqiu nodded in acknowledgement, Prince Jing asked again: "What else did you say?"
Qiuqiu shook her head: "No more. I don't know much anyway."
"I took the initiative to plead guilty today because I was afraid that the prince would misunderstand me and avoid me from now on."
"I am devoted to you, Your Majesty, and I only want to live a good life with you in the future."
"I am very satisfied with the position of concubine. From now on, I will be devoted to assisting the prince and no longer have any feelings for the Crown Prince Tianwu..."
Qiuqiu is not stupid. The behavior of Concubine Wen and Emperor Tianlang today clearly told everyone: they knew that Fu Chenan was among the five hundred guards, and the person who told them was Qiuqiu.
Emperor Tianlang and Concubine Wen did not consider her future situation, but she had to consider it herself.
She has to make a living under Prince Jing's hands. Now that she has been discovered, the best way out is to confess proactively.
Fu Chenan and Prince Jing did not lose anything because of this...
Considering that she and Fu Chenan were childhood friends, he should let her go this time, right?
It’s a pity that she was too naive.
Prince Jing exhaled: "Since you have pleaded guilty, you should know that your death is not unjust."
Qiuqiu's face turned pale: "What did you say, Your Majesty?"
"Are you...going to kill me?"
"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I beg you..."
Prince Jing sighed, "It's too late."
"Too late?"
"Yes, it's late."
Qiuqiu quickly understood: she began to have severe abdominal pain and soon started vomiting blood.
"You are just an ordinary girl from a poor family. My eldest nephew helped you so much, but you still sold me out. Why should I believe that you won't sell me out in the future?"
"Just for this reason, you don't deserve to live anymore."
Qiuqiu didn't want to die and kept begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me and give me the antidote... the antidote..."
Prince Jing looked down at Qiu Qiu, who was curled up in a ball, with no pity in his eyes: "This is Hedinghong, where is the antidote?"
"Since you took the initiative to confess, I will spare the lives of your two daughters."
Qiuqiu suddenly remembered: Yes, I have two daughters!"
Two daughters who were poisoned by their own stupidity and cried heartbreakingly from time to time...
"my daughter……"
…
Late at night, frightened cries suddenly came from Prince Jing's mansion.
The maid in Concubine Qiu's courtyard screamed, "The Concubine committed suicide by taking poison..."
Early in the morning, the news reached the palace.
The expressions of Concubine Wen and Emperor Tianlang changed.
How could a woman who was greedy for wealth and fame like Qiuqiu commit suicide by taking poison after getting the position of concubine she wanted?
Considering Fu Chenan’s visit to Prince Jing’s Mansion yesterday… Concubine Wen looked towards Emperor Tianlang with a serious expression.
"Your Majesty, do you want to ask Prince Jing to come to the palace to ask?"
Emperor Tianlang nodded, and Prince Jing was called into the palace.
Facing the Heavenly Wolf Emperor, Prince Jing kowtowed and confessed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Crown Prince Tianwu suddenly came to visit incognito yesterday, and Concubine Qiu knew about it."
"After Crown Prince Tianwu left, Concubine Qiu invited me to have a midnight snack and confessed to me that she had once had a crush on Crown Prince Tianwu..."
"I thought that since she had confessed, she would live a good life with me from now on. Although I was angry, I did not punish her. Who knew that she would commit suicide in the middle of the night..."
This was half true and half false, and Emperor Tianlang and Concubine Wen didn't know which one to believe for a moment.
The two looked at each other. The Heavenly Wolf Emperor asked: "Why did Crown Prince Tianwu suddenly come to see you?"
Prince Jing bowed again and said, "He concealed his identity and escorted the Grand Princess back to the capital just to confirm whether the Grand Princess was safe in Tianlang."
"Who would have thought that after entering the Tianlang territory, I would encounter open and secret attacks every day, so Fu Chenan came to ask me if I could accompany him to the palace today to request a thorough investigation..."
"If the Tianlang Nation cannot guarantee the safety of the Grand Princess, Crown Prince Tianwu will prepare to return to Tianwu with the Grand Princess after paying homage to his father, the Emperor, and his mother..."
Emperor Tianlang and Concubine Wen changed their expressions again.
The Grand Princess wants to return to Tianwu?
This is impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
After all, the eldest princess is the biological mother of Prince Tianwu. As long as she is in Tianlang, Tianwu will be afraid if he wants to make some moves on the Tianlang Kingdom.
If the person is brought back and is still frightened, Tianwu will have a legitimate reason to fight Tianlang again.
The Heavenly Wolf Emperor frowned, "Are you saying that Crown Prince Tianwu is going to enter the palace today?"
Why doesn't he believe it?
As if to confirm Prince Jing's words, the eunuch outside the gate reported: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Tianwu, Fu Chen'an, has sent a letter to see you."
Emperor Tianlang glanced at Concubine Wen.
Concubine Wen felt a chill on her neck: "Your Majesty, this really has nothing to do with me..."
Sirius Emperor: Do you think I believe it?
Fu Chenan came in plain clothes, so naturally there was no ceremonial guard.
But he dared to enter the palace alone, and the Heavenly Wolf Emperor was still tempted: He really wanted to kill him here...
Thinking of Fu Zhonghai who was still in Tianwu Kingdom, he suppressed his impulse, put on a smile and stood up to greet him: "How can you hide your real name when the Crown Prince of Tianwu is personally escorting you?"
"We are all family, why do we have to do this?"
Fu Chenan also bowed with a smile: "If I hadn't come here incognito, I wouldn't have known that my mother would have encountered so many hardships and dangers along the way."
The Sirius Emperor’s smile froze: Just start doing it?
No need to be polite?
Fu Chenan really didn't intend to be polite. He briefly recounted the assassinations he had encountered along the way, and then pointed directly at Concubine Wen.
"My dear Concubine Wen, my mother was just a child at the time. She posed no threat or harm to you, but you refused to let her go..."
"Now that she has returned to Tianlang to worship her ancestors, you are rushing to take action against her..."
Concubine Wen was anxious: "You are slandering me!"
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
Fu Chenan handed over the evidence calmly.
"Your Majesty, please read these testimonies before you decide whether it is an injustice or not."
The testimonies with fingerprints were piled up and sent to the Sirius Emperor.
Emperor Sirius's face grew darker as he looked at the testimony in front of him.
This was revealed during interrogation after the killer involved in one of the assassinations was caught.
In the testimonies, there are those who did it, those who gave the order, and those who were silenced but survived by chance...
Each piece of testimony formed a complete chain of evidence.
It can be said that as long as Emperor Tianlang is willing to follow these evidences, Concubine Wen will never be able to clear herself of the charges.
He looked at Concubine Wen with a dark face, and threw the confession in his hand: "Wen, you still don't plead guilty?!"
Concubine Wen: I clearly only assassinated him three times, how come I did them all?
Who knows who sent someone to do the subsequent assassination?
Besides, I can't admit it even once!
She opened her mouth and said: "These are all fake!"
"They are slandering us!"
"Your Majesty, please believe me..."
Emperor Tianlang naturally knew that not all assassinations were carried out by Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen should have only sent people to carry out part of them.
However, if they can produce evidence, it can prove that this "part" has been confirmed.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to hand it to myself.
He waved his hand and said nothing more: "Let the Ministry of Punishment investigate these things thoroughly..."
Ministry of Punishment?
That's a place where you'll get hurt for no reason!
Concubine Wen's expression changed drastically, and she didn't care that she was in front of outsiders: "Da Lang, you believe me..."
Emperor Tianlang remained unmoved and waved his hand to have Concubine Wen dragged away.
As Concubine Wen's voice faded away, neither Fu Chenan nor Prince Jing felt happy.
In just a few words, Concubine Wen, who had been with him for many years, was sent directly to the Ministry of Punishment.
This is equivalent to being abandoned directly!
The Sirius Emperor has such a cruel heart!
The two people on the surface expressed their deep gratitude.
Emperor Tianlang also took the opportunity to stop pursuing the suspicion of Concubine Qiu's suicide, and instead invited Fu Chenan to the side hall to discuss the possibility of subsequent cooperation between the two countries...
