Chapter 375 The Truth That Year
The reason why Eunuch Cui could become a professional announcer of imperial decrees was because he had a sharp and bright voice, and any of his words could convey the ups and downs of a winding mountain road.
"Quiet--"
Eunuch Cui stood in front of the city gate and howled.
The noisy crowd suddenly quieted down.
Is this an imperial decree to be read?
"Transmit the words of Concubine Shu~ These are the words that Concubine Shu said to Xiao Jiuer while lying in the carriage after being assassinated~~If you miss it, you will never get it again~Keep quiet~"
Eunuch Cui tried his best to explain, and then imitated Concubine Shu's tone:
"Who would believe me? As your biological mother, the only thing I've ever done for you is..."
Eunuch Cui conveyed Concubine Shu's words word for word.
For a while.
The villagers in the city were as quiet as chickens.
The people outside the city are as obedient as geese.
The palace maids, guards, officers and soldiers were stunned like dogs.
Everyone looked towards the city gate at the same time.
Today is a big day!
The mystery of fortune and misfortune that has been debated countless times is finally coming to light!
…
Inside the carriage, Concubine Shu slowly shifted her gaze to the window.
"I have been in the palace for ten years. I was childless for the first seven years. All the fetuses I had in my womb slipped away due to various accidents."
"In the eighth year, I became pregnant with twins, and the births went smoothly. Everyone in the palace said that God had finally blessed me."
"But how could they know that I had miscarriages so many times before, and it was all intentional! All the accidents were caused by me! Because I don't want children at all!"
“Ah???” The onlookers couldn’t close their mouths.
Why?
Which of the concubines in the palace did not pray to gods and Buddhas, just to give birth to more children to consolidate the emperor's favor?
Concubine Shu is pregnant but doesn't want it?
Is this a grudge against me or the emperor?
Unlike the crowd of onlookers, the people in the palace felt cold all over when they heard it.
The eunuch Cui, who was in charge of conveying the message, was sweating profusely.
Oh my God!
What Concubine Shu committed was the serious crime of murdering the emperor's offspring!
Aren’t you afraid of being implicated along with your entire clan if you say this today?
The Fan family, once rich enough to rival a country, is in danger!
"After I became pregnant with twins, Zen Master Huineng predicted that twins would bring one blessing and one curse. I didn't care about that and continued to think about aborting the babies as before! But strangely, despite trying everything, I couldn't move the babies at all!"
"And so, even though I was extremely reluctant, the day of delivery finally arrived."
"The birthing process was extremely difficult. I couldn't give birth for a whole day and night. When the two babies were finally born, I started bleeding profusely."
"The midwives and the doctors were in a panic, but I wasn't afraid at all. I thought it would be fine if I just died. But I didn't expect that in my final moments, a golden light would suddenly illuminate my eyes."
"I opened my eyes and saw the whole room ablaze with light. The golden light was emanating from one of the little babies. She stared at me with concern."
"The golden light transformed into a golden bead, floating above my body. My pain miraculously healed, and I regained strength."
"I know in my heart that this chubby white baby smiling at me is the lucky star. The other baby with black energy emanating from its body and unable to even open its eyes is undoubtedly the unlucky star."
"At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. The emperor arrived. In that instant, the golden bead that was still healing my wounds was snatched away by a small hand emitting black energy!"
"I don't know when she opened her eyes! She opened her mouth and swallowed the golden bead! Then she slapped the lucky doll on the forehead, and the black energy actually transferred to the lucky doll!"
"And the emperor happened to come in at this moment!"
"When he saw the doll surrounded by black energy, he snorted coldly. This is a disaster that will bring disaster to the country and the people! He immediately reached out and strangled her neck fiercely! The doll's face turned blue and purple from being pinched. She looked at me with her big eyes, begging!"
"I know she wants me to tell the truth! But if I tell the truth, wouldn't that be an advantage for that tyrant emperor? Letting him strangle the lucky star that descended upon Dayu with his own hands would be the best revenge for him! There is no better revenge than this!"
"So, I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth, and didn't say a word!"
"Bang"!
Someone punched a big hole in Concubine Shu's carriage.
"Are you still human?" Ye Yanping roared, "She needed you so much! And you chose to remain silent! How helpless she must have been!"
"Xiaobao!" Luo Qiuyue rushed into the carriage like a gust of wind, glanced coldly at Concubine Shu, and picked up Xiaojiuer.
"Xiaobao, it's okay, it's all over! Everything is over! You have us!"
The Ye family hugged Xiao Jiuer tightly in their arms, each of them in tears.
It’s so pitiful, Xiao Jiuer is so pitiful!
As long as they thought of Xiao Jiu'er being strangled by the emperor, the Ye family's hearts trembled! They couldn't bear it just by imagining it!
They must get this debt back!
Concubine Shu remained silent for a while, then continued speaking.
"Soon, the child fell silent. The Emperor threw her to the care of the maidservant beside me, telling her to do as she pleased. He then carefully picked up the evil star and, upon seeing the glittering golden mark on her forehead, was overjoyed and immediately named her 'Pearl'."
"After a while, Mammy secretly told me that the child was still breathing and asked me what to do with her. I ordered her to be killed, but as Mammy left, I regretted it! In the end, I couldn't bring myself to do it!"
"I think it's better to just leave it to fate! It's so cold, if she can survive, it's her good fortune!"
"I had Mammy take her out of the palace, the farther away the better. After that, she disappeared from my world. Until this year, when the remote Black River Village became famous and all kinds of rumors reached the capital, I vaguely guessed that she was not dead, but alive!"
"Everyone knows what happened next." Concubine Shu panted, "This whole thing started because of me. You can scold me all you want!"
Everyone was excited.
It is because of Concubine Shu that the lucky star and the unlucky star are out of place!
The lucky star suffers all kinds of hardships, while the unlucky star enjoys the best of everything in the world!
That is why God is angry and punishes the universe!
"Demon Concubine! You are a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
"The Emperor dotes on you, yet you betray him repeatedly behind his back!"
"Demon Concubine! Why are you doing this?!"
Concubine Shu said coldly, "Because I hate him! I wish I could eat his flesh alive, drink his blood, pull out his tendons, grind his bones into ashes! I want him to be abandoned by the world! Let him die in pain, desolation and regret! To comfort the souls of the Xia family!"
