Such a delicate and charming woman would actually be the executioner who killed his son. With such a pair of tearful eyes, he would be willing to give her anything as long as she looked at him in the past. Only today did he suddenly realize that for this woman, her gentleness and tears had always been the most powerful weapons. Relying on these two weapons, she became his most beloved woman and killed the Fourth Prince silently under his nose. If she had not been too greedy and wanted to kill to silence the witness, he would never have discovered until his death that his most beloved woman had such a heart of a vicious snake.
"You are crazy," Zhong Zhiheng looked at her steadily, and after a while he said slowly, "I am crazy too."
Yes, if he wasn't crazy, how could he think that she was a gift from God to make up for his infatuation with Siyao?
If he wasn't crazy, how could he not see that, apart from her face, the woman in front of him was not at all similar to Siyao?
No, she doesn't even look like him now.
Zhong Zhiheng stretched out his hand to pinch Concubine Hui's chin, and lifted her face up little by little. In her terrified eyes, Zhong Zhiheng spoke solemnly: "You lost your son, so you want to kill my son for revenge. Then who should I seek revenge on after I lost two sons in succession?"
"I have committed a heinous crime. Please, Your Majesty, sentence me to death," said Concubine Hui. Her pale lips trembled slightly as she let out a soft sigh. She looked into Zhong Zhiheng's dim eyes and whispered, "Anyway, I've had enough."
Yes, she had had enough of it, ever since she entered this majestic and solemn palace, but she could not die. She still had unfinished things and people she wanted to see, so she had to live. Even though this life made her life worse than death, she had been enduring it.
Finally, the unfinished business was getting closer to completion, and she finally saw the person she wanted to see. She was glad that she could finally die and didn't have to live in this quagmire with such a dirty body.
"You want to die? But I won't let you do that. I want you to live a life worse than death." Zhong Zhiheng looked at Concubine Hui's peaceful death and suddenly curled his lips in a cold voice, "Jinghui, no one can bully me, understand?"
Concubine Hui suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Zhong Zhiheng in horror: "What...what are you going to do?"
Zhong Zhiheng sneered and shook off Concubine Hui's face, saying slowly, "Concubine Hui has a vicious mind and is unworthy of being a concubine. You will be sent to the laundry department as a slave, working day and night until you die of old age in the palace. If you dare to commit suicide, I will order the fifth prince's tomb to be dug up and his bones to be crushed and scattered into ashes."
"Your humble servant...thanks for your grace!" Concubine Hui's eyes were filled with tears as she kowtowed in pain.
"Take him away!" Zhong Zhiheng said to Zhao Ruhai in a cold voice. After a pause, he said, "What happened in Yangxin Palace today must be sealed. Anyone who dares to leak it will be killed without mercy."
"Yes, I obey your command." Zhao Ruhai then helped Concubine Hui back away.
Zhong Zhiheng looked at the gold and ruby ring on the small table expressionlessly. Suddenly, he grabbed the ring and smashed it to the ground.
"Puff!" A large mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhong Zhiheng held on to a small table, gasping like a broken bellows. Zhong Zhiheng gasped hard, but felt like he couldn't breathe. Not only that, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word. He waved to the outside with great effort, then his body tilted and he fainted on the couch.
"Your Majesty! How are you?" Zhao Ruhai heard the noise inside and rushed in to check. As soon as he came in, he saw Zhong Zhiheng fainted on the couch. He was immediately frightened and shouted to the imperial physician who had been waiting outside for a long time, "Imperial physician! Come in quickly!"
…
Prince An's Mansion.
Zhong Mingwei walked into the backyard with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When Mei Ya came out, she felt that something was wrong with Zhong Mingwei. She hurriedly looked at Pang Yi, wanting to get some information from him, but Pang Yi just shook his head worriedly.
