The passion between Zhao Chenhan and Rong Fei disappeared in an instant, as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them.
"Didn't you say the emperor wouldn't come? Why is he here again?" Zhao Chenhan growled.
Rong Fei said anxiously, "How should I know? I clearly said that I would go to Yifu Palace to see Yi Fei in the next few days, so why is he here? What should I do?"
Rong Fei was so anxious that she was running around like an ant on a hot pan.
Zhao Chenhan said angrily, "Shut up! Hurry and put on your clothes. I'll hide in the back and pretend I wasn't here. Don't let anything slip."
Zhao Chenhan didn't bother to put on his clothes. He was about to hide inside with his clothes, but he heard a bang and the door was kicked open. Emperor Chengping came in angrily, and Zhao Chenhan's eyes immediately went dark.
It’s over!
Rong Fei was even more unbearable, and collapsed to the ground: "Emperor, Your Majesty!"
She was trembling and unable to speak.
"You are truly my good concubine! And my good subject!"
Emperor Chengping looked at the two men who were disheveled or even naked, and became so angry that he fell down.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Someone, come and get the medicine!"
Zhu Zhongyan screamed.
The young eunuch quickly brought the medicine. Zhu Zhongyan dissolved it in water and fed it to Emperor Chengping. After a long time, Emperor Chengping woke up faintly. Seeing the two people kneeling in front of him, he was so angry that he almost fainted again. He kicked Zhao Chenhan in the chest fiercely: "Zhao Chenhan! How dare you steal my concubine? You are so brave! I, I will kill all your clans!"
Zhao Chenhan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It was Concubine Rong who seduced me. I was young and lacked self-control, so I couldn't help myself. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Rong Fei looked at Zhao Chenhan in disbelief: "It was you who provoked me first, you..."
"Shut up!" Emperor Chengping said angrily.
The two of them quickly shut up.
Emperor Chengping took a deep breath and said, "Concubine Rong has committed such a shameful act. Even death cannot atone for her sins. I will give her a cup of poisoned wine and throw her body into a mass grave after her death. The Wu family colluded with officials to oppress the people, causing public resentment. I will exterminate all three of their clans!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I am innocent, I am innocent."
Rong Fei rushed over, hugged Emperor Chengping's legs, and cried loudly: "For the sake of our past relationship, Your Majesty, please spare my life..."
"roll!"
Emperor Chengping kicked Concubine Rong to the ground.
Zhu Zhongyan waved his hand, and immediately two young eunuchs came over. Two of them held Rong Fei, and the other one brought a cup of poisoned wine and fed it to Rong Fei.
Rong Fei desperately shook her head to refuse, so the young eunuch simply pinched Rong Fei's chin, forced her to open her mouth, and poured the poisoned wine into her.
“Ahem…”
When the young eunuch let go, Concubine Rong fell to the ground and tried to vomit desperately, but she couldn't vomit anything.
But after a moment, Concubine Rong let out a painful groan and struggled desperately on the ground, with feces and urine flowing out and a fishy smell filling the air.
Emperor Chengping frowned, and Zhu Zhongyan waved his hand, and immediately a eunuch carried Concubine Rong out.
A moment later, the young eunuch reported: "Dead."
Zhu Zhongyan nodded to Emperor Chengping.
Emperor Chengping looked down at Zhao Chenhan.
Emperor Chengping's face was gloomy, and he really wanted to order Zhao Chenhan to be killed.
But if Zhao Chenhan is killed, there is no guarantee that Zhao Jingzhou will rebel.
If Zhao Jingzhou were replaced, no one would be able to stop Beidi.
However, if Zhao Chenhan is not killed, it will be difficult to eliminate the evil anger in Emperor Chengping's heart.
Not to mention Emperor Cheng Ping, any man would have killed someone.
Zhao Chenhan knelt on the ground and trembled.
Emperor Chengping wanted to execute Zhao Chenhan several times, but he forced himself to hold back.
Although Emperor Chengping was incompetent, one thing that was smart of him was that he always trusted Zhao Jingzhou, which was why the Northern Di were kept out.
If Zhao Chenhan was killed...
Emperor Chengping gritted his teeth and his hands were shaking.
"Zhao Chenhan defiled the harem and should have been executed by slow slicing! But considering that Zhao Jingzhou had made great contributions in defeating the enemy and he is the only son, I will give him a lighter sentence. Go, go to Zhao Lin to get a job. Get out!" Emperor Chengping said angrily.
Zhao Chenhan was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
"Get out!" Emperor Chengping shouted.
Zhao Chenhan got up and ran away quickly.
“Cough cough cough…”
Emperor Chengping coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Zhongyan was terrified: "The adulterer and the adulteress have already been dealt with. Your Majesty must not get angry anymore. What if your anger damages Wan Sheng's health?"
"I want to replace Zhao Jingzhou!" Emperor Chengping's voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between his teeth.
Zhu Zhongyan said, "We must replace him. But before that, we have to find someone who can replace him."
Emperor Chengping asked, "Who are the candidates?"
Zhu Zhongyan thought for a moment and sighed, "Forgive me for being blunt, there are plenty of people who can take over his position, but there's no one who can take over and command the Zhenbei Army and resist the Beidi Army."
"In such a huge court, there is not even one person?" Emperor Chengping said in disbelief.
Zhu Zhongyan said, "Zhao Jingzhou has controlled the Zhenbei Army for too long. If he wants to successfully control the Zhenbei Army, he must eliminate a large number of people. This will weaken the Zhenbei Army's strength. If the Northern Di take advantage of the opportunity to attack, it will be very dangerous."
"Damn it! I should have thought of this a long time ago, but I never replaced him." Emperor Chengping gritted his teeth.
Zhu Zhongyan quickly advised, "Zhao Jingzhou is loyal to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's choice is correct. Who would have known that his son would be so audacious as to do such a thing? He is indeed not a biological son and has not inherited Zhao Jingzhou's loyalty."
"Yes, it's all Zhao Chenhan's fault."
Emperor Chengping turned his anger towards Zhao Chenhan: "If it weren't for him, Zhao Jingzhou and I would still be a wise ruler and a virtuous minister. How could we have come to this?"
No matter how loyal Zhao Jingzhou was, he must have resentment because his only son was sent to suffer under Zhao Lin.
