The emperor didn't say anything, his cold eyes wandering over Concubine Zhao.
The queen leaned over to drink the tea, her eyes narrowed sarcastically.
What? Being crazy is forgivable, right?
Then what about her eldest prince, Concubine Ruan's second prince, Concubine Chen's third prince, second princess, and the crimes that Concubine Chen suffered for no reason?
Although she, the queen, was not a good person, that was because others had not done anything wrong to her. If she didn't deal with someone like Concubine Zhao who turned the harem upside down for her own selfish reasons, who would?
In other words, since Zhao Zhilan didn't give her, the queen, any face, she naturally didn't need to give Zhao Zhilan any face!
Therefore, after the empress finished her tea, she moved closer to the emperor and said calmly, "Your Majesty, Princess Mo just told me something that concerns the eldest princess. I don't know if I should tell you."
The emperor was feeling annoyed and glanced at the queen impatiently. "If you want to say something, just say it. Why are you hesitating? If I don't agree, are you really going to stop talking?"
The queen resisted the urge to roll her eyes. The damn emperor only used her, the queen, as a punching bag. Look at how he has spoiled Concubine Zhao!
But she continued to remain calm, "Since the emperor has given me permission to speak, then I will speak."
The Queen had a blank expression on her face, but she was actually overjoyed. "Princess Mo's medical skills are recognized throughout Nan Zhao. Therefore, it's better to believe what she says than not to believe it.
It was only when those gossipy palace maids mentioned this matter just now that I made up my mind to say, "Yes, the eldest princess was born with six fingers. This is a hereditary thing. Only when one of the parents or a blood relative has six fingers can a child with six fingers be born. I wonder what the emperor thinks of this situation?"
After the Queen finished speaking, the Queen Mother and the Emperor were completely stunned, as if they were possessed by some dirty thing, and they were unable to recover from their shock.
For a long while, the emperor's face became visibly gloomy and terrifying. The empress dowager felt a slight tingling in her calves when she saw it. She swallowed her saliva and asked dryly, "Empress, you are not saying that the eldest princess is not the emperor's child, are you?"
The emperor suddenly shouted, "Close the door! Except for the Queen Mother and the Empress, everyone else, get out!"
The emperor had not forbidden people from speaking out about Concubine Zhao's conspiracy against other concubines and princes, but now that his dignity as a man was at stake, he could not stand it and drove out all the palace servants, including his most trusted eunuch Huang.
Before leaving, Xiao Xuanzi whispered to his adoptive father whether Concubine Zhao and the eldest princess were also to be taken away, after all, the emperor only mentioned the empress and the queen mother.
Eunuch Huang opened his eyes wide and glared at his godson. "Are you stupid? If you don't keep that crazy person to vent your anger on, what will your majesty do? Are you going to let your majesty vent his anger on the Empress Dowager and the Empress?"
Therefore, Concubine Zhao wanted to leave. She pretended to be crazy and looked for an opportunity, but she was like a mosquito and couldn't get away.
The door of the main hall closed, and the heavy sound of the door closing was like locking Concubine Zhao in hell...
She fell to the ground, hugging the child, her face already pale.
Three completely different gazes were faintly coming from above the palace. Concubine Zhao didn't dare to look directly at any of them. She just pretended to be stupid and hugged the eldest princess, shrinking into the corner.
The eldest princess didn't understand any of this. She only felt that her mother was very scared, so she reached out her hand and clumsily wiped the tears from her mother's face. She said in a soft voice, "Mother, don't be afraid. Jia Jia is with you. Mother is not afraid of the dark, and neither is Jia Jia."
She actually thought that when Concubine Zhao heard the door close, she trembled all over because she was afraid of the dark.
The emperor withdrew his gaze, suppressed the sour and prickly feeling in his eyes, and grabbed the queen's arm.
"Queen! Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by six fingers being hereditary? Do you know anything?"
The queen saw that the emperor was confused, crazy and frustrated at the moment, and he would definitely not remember her unreasonableness, so without any consideration, she pushed the annoying emperor away. Her tone could not be said to be gloating, but she also felt relieved.
"Your Majesty is wise, is there any need to ask? The late emperor didn't have six fingers, and neither did the empress dowager. As for Zhaopin's family, the internal affairs department's case files clearly show that they are all normal people. If they weren't normal, then when the concubines were retained, it wouldn't have been Zhao Zhilan's turn."
"You mean...you mean...no!"
The emperor couldn't believe it and tried to pinch the queen's shoulders, but the queen dodged him.
He immediately became like an ant on a hot pan, looking for a target to vent his anger on. His gaze slowly moved from the Queen Mother to Concubine Zhao and the eldest princess in the corner. He walked over step by step with an expression like a Shura.
Concubine Zhao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hugged the eldest princess and wanted to escape, but when people are panicked, their feet will become uncontrollable, so she stumbled and fell flat on her face behind the door.
Now he was caught up by the emperor!
Concubine Zhao screamed at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, please don't, don't kill me! The eldest princess is your child, she is the child I've been thinking about with the prince!"
The emperor's eyes blazed with fire, and he shrugged violently, "The truth is now out. You bitch are really just pretending to be crazy! The eldest princess? Ridiculous, she's not my eldest princess, she's just a bastard! Zhao Zhilan, I will make you regret why you didn't really go crazy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hand like an iron clamp, so fierce that the bones turned white, pinched Zhao Bin's delicate neck.
With a gentle lift, Zhao Bin was lifted up and pushed against the door. Her whole body was hanging in the air, and her face quickly turned red due to lack of oxygen.
His feet were kicking in the air like a person hanging himself.
The eldest princess was not even as tall as an adult's calf. She looked at all this in astonishment, not understanding why her father, who was usually very gentle to her, had now turned into a devil.
