The emperor was helpless, but it was not easy to explain at this time.
"Well, in that case, you should stay in the palace."
Except for Yuan Da Ying who had just entered the palace, the rest of the people left the palace with their money and status. The emperor had already made arrangements for their future affairs.
Now only Zhao agreed, and the emperor finally came to her palace. After more than a month, she had become so thin that she was unrecognizable, covered in dirt, and no longer had the noble look she once had.
"Your Majesty, you finally came to see me. I was wronged. Your Majesty, please help me. Jiang Rongxi killed our child. Your Majesty, that child is ours."
"Li, you are so bold that you dare to play with me like a fool."
The emperor looked at the noble Zhao on the ground for a long time and agreed to walk away and said again.
"Over the years, you have been secretly giving the concubines in various palaces sterile drugs, causing me to be almost thirty years old without a single child, leaving the country without a successor.
Then you resorted to despicable means to drug me and force me to have sex with you... Even so, I still remembered the kindness of your deceased father, forgave you time and time again, and gave you countless opportunities to reform.
However, you didn't know how to repent, but instead became even more ruthless, not only deceiving me with such a despicable method as fake pregnancy, but also wanting to harm my only child."
Zhao agreed and crawled to the emperor on his knees, grabbing the corner of his clothes.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. They are the ones who framed me, Your Majesty."
"You are still stubborn and stubborn even now. Well, I have nothing more to say to you."
"I have nothing to say. Hahahaha, Your Majesty, you have nothing to say to me. I married you when I was sixteen and have stayed by your side for so many years, and you tell me you have nothing to say."
Zhao agreed and stood up, looking at the emperor with resentment.
"Yes, I gave them a sterilizing drug, so what? Your Majesty, you can't blame anyone for giving birth to you. I'm devoted to you, but you ignore me. What's so good about Jiang Rongxi? She's just a little prettier. But Your Majesty, are you so sure that the baby in her belly is yours?"
"You evil woman, you are still talking nonsense."
"Hahaha, I was right, wasn't I? If the baby in my belly is fake, then the baby in Jiang Rongxi's belly definitely can't be yours. You are infertile. This is not what I said, this is what the imperial physician said. How can someone who is infertile get someone pregnant? If your majesty doesn't believe me, then you'll know after favoring a few people."
The emperor was about to speak when she interrupted him again.
"Your Majesty, I am doing this for your own good. Don't you have any doubts in your heart? You can give it a try. If this child is really yours, I will never target Jiang Rongxi again."
The emperor strangled Zhao Da Ying's neck with such force that the person being strangled almost died.
"Your Majesty, you also feel that this child is not yours, right?"
What she said was completely out of her mind, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had discovered the truth. She dared to say this because she was sure that the emperor would not kill her.
After all, her father died for rebelling against the emperor, and her brother held great power, so the emperor did not dare to do anything to her.
"Li, you deserve it. I will grant your wish."
"Come here, bring Zhao Yingdan back to Zhaoyang Palace."
The palace maid who had been serving Zhao Da Ying turned pale when these words were spoken. She thought Zhao Da Ying could never go back, so she had been tormenting her. Now that she had gained the upper hand, then...
Zhao agreed and returned to Zhaoyang Palace. She knew that His Majesty would not and dared not hurt her, and now he had invited her back.
Looking at the former palace, murderous intent appeared in her eyes, and she casually had the palace maid who had followed her thrown into the pond.
She is still under house arrest, but she still can't help but provoke Jiang Rongxi.
She wrote a letter, the gist of which was that only she knew that the child in Jiang Rongxi's belly was not His Majesty's, and the only way to keep this secret was to cooperate with her.
But the person who delivered the letter never returned. However, she had been living a life of luxury in the palace these past few days, and from time to time, the wives of officials from outside the palace would come to pay her a visit.
She was still wearing the attire of a noble concubine, and those who didn't know that she had been demoted to a concubine still called her a noble concubine.
She should also feel at peace until the day of the late emperor's sacrifice.
The palace maid waited on her side, "My Lady, you just had a miscarriage, so you must take good care of your belly. I'll put some warm material inside for you."
"Alright!"
She had packed and dressed early in the morning. Her brother was also in the capital now, and she believed that His Majesty would definitely take her out.
She was indeed protected, and several other women dressed as concubines were taken to a palace together.
Only then did she realize something was wrong and wanted to leave, but the people outside said that His Majesty had ordered that the concubines' safety must be protected and they could not go out.
There are no concubines here. Except for the newly arrived Da Ying and Li Guiren, the rest are all palace maids.
She pulled the guard outside the door over and asked hurriedly, "What happened outside? Where is His Majesty? I want to see His Majesty."
"Your Highness, please go in quickly. I heard that Prince Jia is forcing the emperor to abdicate, and there are corpses everywhere outside."
"W-what, tell me what happened again?"
The guard said it again and it was the same. If it had happened in the past, someone would have fainted from fright, but now everyone was just panicking.
"What about General Zhenbei?"
Zhao agreed and placed his hope on his brother, believing that nothing would happen to him as long as his brother was there.
A young eunuch with injuries ran towards this side, and when he saw Zhao Daying, he pushed him to the ground.
"How dare you! What are you doing? I am the imperial concubine."
"Noble Concubine, you don't deserve it. If it weren't for your brother, this wouldn't have happened today."
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Your brother has led people in rebellion. Now the palace is in danger. You are waiting to die. Brothers, please run away quickly. You are still protecting them."
"This is impossible. How could my brother rebel?"
The people who were protecting them left, and a group of soldiers wearing red cloth strips rushed in and arrested all the concubines.
"Sir, these are all the emperor's concubines. General Zhenbei said that if we capture them, the damn emperor will surrender automatically. Among them is the emperor's only flesh and blood."
"Who is Rong Fei? Stand out and this general will protect you from death."
Everyone stepped back, frightened by the soldiers with swords, and pointed at Zhao Da Ying who had a confused look on his face.
"We say, we say, she is Concubine Rong, she is the woman dear to His Majesty, you can arrest her if you want."
"Hu Yan, I am Consort Zhao, not Consort Rong. Consort Rong is not here. I am the sister of General Zhenbei. How dare you be so rude to me?"
