Jiang Shuyi was taken to Xingqing Palace. Seeing the broken hands and feet, corpses everywhere, and blood soaking the ground, she vomited immediately.
The eunuch took her directly to the bedroom without caring whether she vomited or not.
"Go in!"
Jiang Shuyi's face was pale, and she was so frightened that she wanted to run away.
However, the eunuch did not give her a chance to escape.
Finally, she was pushed into the bedroom.
When she saw the bodies of Concubine Li De and her son, her pupils dilated in disbelief, and her whole body trembled as if she would collapse at any moment.
Is she going to die?
Will she die here today?
She doesn't want to die yet, woohoo!
"Look, His Majesty's most beloved Lady Shuyi is here."
Concubine Xue's voice sounded like a devil in Jiang Shuyi's ears.
Her face was pale and she looked cautiously towards the head of the bed.
What's wrong, Your Majesty?
Your Majesty, can't you move?
"Jiang Shuyi, come here."
Concubine Xue waved at her.
After being pushed, Jiang Shuyi came to her senses and walked towards Concubine Xue tremblingly.
"Jiang Shuyi, tell His Majesty, are you one of my running dogs?"
Jiang Shuyi's teeth were chattering, making a clattering sound.
She nodded in fear.
"Don't just nod, speak. Tell your majesty, what are you to me?"
Jiang Shuyi was shaking all over. At this point, the situation was stronger than she was, and she was forced into a corner.
She gave the emperor a wry smile, then said, "This servant is just a running dog of your majesty."
Concubine Xue laughed heartily. "Your Majesty, did you see that? Your beloved Jiang Shuyi herself said that she was a running dog of mine. What do you think after hearing that, Your Majesty?"
Jiang Shuyi closed her eyes directly. She was too ashamed to face the emperor.
Tianzi stared wide-eyed but made no sound.
Because the emperor knew that Concubine Xue would not do anything unnecessary.
Since Jiang Shuyi was called over, he must want to use her to do something.
The emperor was waiting for Concubine Xue's next words.
Concubine Xue did not make the emperor wait too long.
She raised her hand and gently caressed the emperor's face, just like when they first got married.
Her tone was gentle, but her words were as sharp as a sword, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Fang Shaojian, who was by the side of Queen Cui Ruizhen?
He told me a secret. He said that my eldest son was not killed by Queen Cui Ruizhen, but by Your Majesty.
He also said that the reason why Queen Ruizhen Cui was willing to be blamed was because you promised to give Crown Prince Renxuan a chance. For the sake of Crown Prince Renxuan, Queen Ruizhen Cui did not reveal this secret until her death.
I have always been skeptical of Fang Shaojian's words. It wasn't until today that I had the opportunity to ask Your Majesty in person: "You killed our eldest son, didn't you?"
Prince Zhao looked at Concubine Xue with a complicated expression.
He remembered that he had an older brother who was from the same mother as him and was extremely smart and outstanding since childhood.
But a cold took my brother's life.
He still remembered that when his brother died, his mother was sad for a whole year before she recovered.
Sometimes, King Zhao would secretly feel fortunate that his brother, who was born to the same mother as him, had died.
If he hadn't died, he wouldn't have received his mother's undivided love, and his name wouldn't have been written on the imperial edict today.
"Your Majesty, please tell me how our child died, okay?"
Concubine Xue's tone was as gentle as ever, her eyes were filled with sorrow, and within that sorrow was deep hatred.
“You, you…”
"I understand that Your Majesty is speechless. How about this? If it's you who killed our child, just nod your head. If not, just shake your head, okay?"
The emperor's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Concubine Xue.
Concubine Xue frowned slightly. "Your Majesty neither shook his head nor nodded. Was it because of guilt or a guilty conscience? As expected, my eldest son was killed by you. They say even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you, haha, you took our child's life with your own hands. You are truly cruel."
The emperor said nothing, his eyes calm.
Concubine Xue smiled coldly and spoke word by word, "You will suffer retribution today. You killed my child, and as a mother, I naturally want to avenge my child. Don't worry, you will be able to see our ancestors in a moment. Jiang Shuyi, come here."
Jiang Shuyi shuddered all over.
She saw too many things she shouldn't have seen and heard too many words she shouldn't have heard.
She will definitely be murdered.
Jiang Shuyi wanted to cry, but didn't want to die.
She hasn't lived enough, she doesn't want to die.
But she couldn't disobey Concubine Xue's words.
If she didn't listen, she would be the one to die the next moment.
She walked forward step by step.
Concubine Xue's face was cold and indifferent. "Jiang Shuyi, this old man is the emperor who doted on you. But look at his current dignity, he is no longer worthy of being the emperor. His mission has been completed, and his life should also end. Come, I will give you this opportunity to end the life of a generation of emperors with your own hands."
“No, no!”
Jiang Shuyi screamed in fear and stepped back repeatedly.
Concubine Xue actually asked her to kill the emperor, but she didn't dare and she didn't want to.
"Don't you dare refuse!"
Prince Zhao grabbed Jiang Shuyi's neck and said, "If you dare to say no again, I will kill you right now."
Jiang Shuyi looked terrified and struggled desperately.
Chen Dachang shouted angrily, "How dare you kill the king? You will all die miserably."
Jiang Shuyi burst into tears.
What Chen Dachang said was what she thought.
Anyone who kills the king will not die a good death.
She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to die miserably.
King Zhao chuckled coldly, "Shut Chen Dachang's mouth. If you weren't still useful, I would have killed you long ago."
King Zhao looked at Chen Dachang with disgust.
This eunuch has been bullying others in the past, relying on the emperor's favor.
These princes have to be polite in front of him, which is so infuriating.
Chen Dachang's mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak.
Attendant Shen laughed heartily, "Eunuch Chen, you have come to this day."
Chen Dachang's heart was broken and he struggled desperately, "Woo woo woo..." They wanted to kill the king, Shen, and you didn't stop them.
Chamberlain Shen seemed to understand Chen Dachang's roar. "Why should we stop him? We have fallen to this point, and there is only one way to go. But you, Eunuch Chen, as His Majesty's most trusted confidant, watching His Majesty leave, how do you feel? Do you feel incompetent and ashamed and angry?"
Chen Dachang's eyes almost popped out, but he was unable to stop the situation from developing.
Jiang Shuyi was forced to lie on the bed, with a cushion placed in her hand.
Concubine Xue whispered in her ear with a smile: "Kill His Majesty, and I will let you live. Otherwise, I will make you be buried with His Majesty."
Jiang Shuyi trembled all over, "I, I..."
"Don't you dare? Then I'll kill your whole family." Concubine Xue looked at Jiang Shuyi with a smile.
Jiang Shuyi: "..." What should I do? I will definitely be struck by lightning.
Concubine Xue held her hand and said, "When you betrayed me, you should have expected this day to come. Do you really think that I will let you go so easily just by kowtow and bark like a dog? You are so naive."
The real test is now. Kill him, and I will truly forgive you. I will even make you a concubine, guaranteeing you a lifetime of wealth and glory. Also, I will recommend your father and brother to official positions, ensuring a lifetime of wealth and prosperity for your Jiang family descendants. Quick, kill him!"
The cushion gradually approached the emperor's cheek. He only needed to press down hard and everything would be over.
Jiang Shuyi was shaking like a sieve. "I, I, I'm scared."
Concubine Xue smiled softly, "Your Majesty is destined to die today. And you can choose to die or live. Jiang Yan, do you want to die or live? Do you not care about the lives of your parents, brothers and sisters? Do you want to watch them be buried with you?"
"No, it's not."
"Then kill him! He is now a motionless living dead, not the Son of Heaven at all. Kill him, and it will all be over."
"it's over?"
"certainly!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Xue pulled Jiang Shuyi's hand down.
The cushion in Jiang Shuyi's hand was pressed directly on the emperor's face.
Concubine Xue's face was grim. "What are you still hesitating about? It has come to this point. Why don't you hurry up and put an end to it?"
"Ahhhh..." Jiang Shuyi collapsed and screamed.
Chen Dachang struggled violently.
The emperor's exposed left hand was trembling.
Jiang Shuyi broke down and cried, but the cushion in her hand was still pressed on the emperor's face and she never took it away.
Outside the bedroom, shouts and cries of killing shook the sky.
"What's going on?"
This is everyone's question.
Isn't the killing over?
Why did they start killing again?
Where did these people come from?
A soldier hurried in and bowed, "Your Highness, Gongzi Zhao and his men are here to attack."
"Liu Zhao! Isn't he dead?" King Zhao gritted his teeth.
"It is absolutely true. It is indeed Prince Zhao. He has already arrived at the gate of Xingqing Palace."
The King of Zhao was furious and said, "I will kill him right now."
"Wait."
Concubine Xue called to Prince Zhao, "It's already this late. There's no need to confront him head-on. Take the imperial edict and tell Liu Zhao to submit. If he refuses, he'll be a traitor. Then, we can just order an attack on him. It will be justifiable."
Prince Zhao's eyes lit up. "Mother is right. I don't need to fight him head-on. I will go and defeat him right now and let him know that being a traitor will not end well."
"I will go with you."
Concubine Xue was worried and wanted to go out with Prince Zhao.
Anyway, the overall situation has been decided and Liu Zhao is powerless to reverse it.
As for Prince Ning, I'm afraid his body is already cold.
The mother and son left the palace together to deal with Liu Zhao.
Jiang Shuyi fell to the ground instantly, sobbing.
She killed the emperor, what should she do?
She will not die a good death and will be struck by lightning.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyi's heart was filled with panic and despair.
