Chapter 298 It turns out that he himself knows that his moral character is flawed
“And this!”
Concubine Xin took out another booklet.
"This is what I secretly recorded. The dates when the Empress bestowed gifts upon the palaces match the dates when the Imperial Physician diagnosed the patient's condition. They both match!"
The Queen retorted sharply.
"What nonsense!"
"Noble Lady Xin, you are slandering me! I already have a crown prince, why would I do such a vicious thing?"
"I am also a mother, how could I be so cruel!"
Concubine Xin sneered, tears in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was filled with hatred.
"Because you're scared!"
"You're afraid that the birth of another prince will threaten your son's position as crown prince!"
"You evil-minded woman!"
"If the Emperor doesn't believe it, he can invite famous doctors from outside the palace to come in and check the pulses of all the concubines in the harem!"
The emperor's gaze swept across the queen like a sharp sword, and finally fell on Chu Ruohan and Doctor Qian not far away.
It is no coincidence that these two people appear here.
Chu Ruohan met the emperor's inquiring gaze and bowed slightly.
"My lady, I have something important to report."
The emperor was upset at the moment and had no intention of listening to anything else.
"We'll talk later!"
He turned his gaze to Doctor Qian, speaking in an unquestionable commanding tone.
"Doctor Qian, you go!"
"Check carefully for me!"
Doctor Qian took the order and hurried inside with the palace maid.
Time seemed to stand still.
Every breath seemed extraordinarily long.
After an unknown amount of time, Doctor Qian walked out with a serious expression and bowed deeply to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after investigation, several concubines in the harem have indeed been found to have traces of drugs that could harm female fertility, which is consistent with what Consort Xin said..."
These words came out like thunder out of the blue.
The emperor's body shook violently, and his eyes were bloodshot.
He always thought that he was not kind enough and had angered God.
It was his elder sister who passed away early in life who was still alive and resented him for what he did back then... which led to the fact that he had so few offspring.
turn out to be……
It turned out that it was his first wife, whom he had always respected and trusted, this vicious and cruel woman who did it!
When the Queen heard what Doctor Qian said, her face completely lost its color.
She suddenly understood.
This is a game.
A trap set up against her that had been in place for who knows how long!
Concubine Jing is not pregnant at all!
That pool of blood and that scream were just to lure the emperor over.
It’s to pour this basin of dirty water on her completely!
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chu Ruohan stepped forward and presented the roll of paper in her hand.
"Your Majesty, these are some clues I found about the Tian family case."
"Among them are the signed testimonies of Biyu and Mother Liu."
As soon as she finished speaking, an old lady with a solemn face walked out from behind the crowd and knelt on the ground.
"This old servant is a former servant of the Empress Dowager. I can also testify that after the Empress gave birth, she dismissed a large number of the palace servants."
"The Queen Mother once suspected..."
Evidence and witnesses are closely linked.
The emperor looked at the confessions and the old woman kneeling on the ground.
Then look at the queen whose face is as pale as death...
He let out a low growl that sounded like a mixture of crying and laughing.
"OK……"
“That’s great!”
"We have been married for many years, and I believe I have treated you well!"
"Even though there are rumors outside, I never had a single doubt in my heart!"
The queen's body seemed to have lost all its strength and she collapsed to the ground.
She raised her head, looked at the emperor with empty eyes, and suddenly let out a shrill laugh.
"Suspect?"
"When has Your Majesty ever truly trusted me?"
"When Concubine Xian was in favor, the Emperor said in front of all the concubines in the palace that if she gave birth to a prince, she would be named Imperial Noble Concubine!"
"Imperial Concubine!" The Queen screamed, her voice changing in tone.
"Where do you place the dignity of a queen like me?"
"If I don't take the initiative, will there be any place for me in this harem?"
"I'm afraid the position of queen has been replaced long ago!"
The emperor was so angry that he grabbed the queen's neck and lifted her up from the ground.
"Is the death of Concubine Xian... also related to you?"
The queen was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, her face turned purple, but she still sneered.
"That's what she deserves!"
"The Emperor has bestowed upon her too much favor. She cannot bear it. She should die sooner rather than later!"
The emperor's fingers tightened more and more, and he wished he could strangle the vicious woman in front of him to death immediately.
At this moment, a palace maid rushed over, crawling and rolling.
"Your Majesty! Something bad has happened!"
The emperor pushed the queen away, and the queen fell to the ground in embarrassment, covering her neck and coughing violently.
"Speak!" The emperor's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth.
"Wei...Wei Qiming escaped from the mine!"
"He ran back to the capital and murdered people in the streets!"
When the emperor heard this, his chest heaved violently, and his anger reached the top of his head.
"How dare your Wei family, who controls my kingdom, so utterly? You are so bold..."
The emperor gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Convey my will!"
"Immediately send someone to capture Wei Qiming and execute him on the spot!"
Upon hearing this, the queen ignored the pain in her neck and rushed over, hugging the emperor's legs.
She cried out at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"
"Qiming was just confused for a moment. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and spare his life!"
The emperor kicked her away in disgust, and the queen fell heavily to the ground with her hair disheveled, looking extremely miserable.
"You should think about yourself first!"
The emperor walked away, his voice cold and decisive, without a trace of emotion.
The queen's hair was disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and there were clear fingerprints on her neck.
The captain of the inner court guards clasped his fists and said, "In compliance with the Emperor's order, the Empress is requested to be moved to the cold palace and await further orders."
The queen looked into the distance with empty eyes, looking dazed.
It was not until she was helped to stand up by two palace maids that she suddenly woke up and struggled desperately.
"I want to see the Emperor! I want an explanation!"
She screamed at the top of her lungs, "This is all a conspiracy! Someone is trying to harm me!"
The only responses she received were looks of pity or indifference from the palace maids.
Chu Ruohan turned and left without even looking at the once arrogant woman.
At the palace gate, Concubine Jing was wearing a plain white nightgown, watching the queen being dragged away in the distance.
She finally defeated her...
Outside the Meridian Gate, Wei Qiming was pinned heavily to the ground.
"Wei Qiming, committing a crime in the street is unforgivable! By the Emperor's order, execute him on the spot!"
"No! I'm innocent!" Wei Qiming struggled desperately, his eyes filled with fear. "I didn't mean to kill anyone! Someone framed me!"
Otherwise, the official supervising the execution would sneer and say, "You still refuse to confess your guilt even when facing death. You are truly stubborn!"
Wei Qiming looked around in despair, and saw that the place was full of people watching the excitement.
"I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
Wei Qiming shouted at the top of his lungs, "Please, take me to see the Emperor! I have a grievance to appeal..."
