Chapter 228 Those who harm others will be harmed by others
Beauty brings disaster!
This word used for women is perfect for describing painter Xie.
"Little Master Xie..."
The braver one asked in a low voice, "It seems that there was a commotion inside just now. Do you know what happened?"
Xie Chenghui lowered his head to paint and ignored him.
You said he ignored people on purpose, but he looked like a gentle gentleman in the bright and sunny weather. You said he didn't hear it, but it was impossible when he was so close.
The lady who asked the question was embarrassed and could only shut up angrily, but she couldn't hate Xie Chenghui.
When the queen mother woke up, she found herself locked in darkness. It was terribly quiet around her, without any sound.
The fear of the unknown enveloped the Queen Mother. She sat up from the ground in the dark and groped her way forward in the darkness: "Is there anyone here? Come quickly! Who locked me up here? I am the Queen Mother of Dayan, you can't do this to me!"
In the empty darkness, there was even an echo of the Queen Mother's voice, but no one responded.
After finally touching something that looked like a wooden door, she seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and knocked frantically: "Open the door, Emperor! I know you are here! I am your biological mother, you can't listen to Concubine Rong's one-sided words, she just hates me for not saving her and deliberately slandered me, I..."
There was a fire, which lit up a little from behind the Queen Mother, and finally illuminated the entire dark space.
This place... turned out to be... a torture chamber.
When the emperor was disobedient as a child, or the empress dowager thought he was naughty, she would often throw him to this torture chamber to be punished.
The empress dowager seemed to have guessed who was behind it. Her fingers, which were gripping the crack of the door, turned white. She took a deep breath, held back her tears of fear, and turned to look at Emperor Xuanwu.
However, when she saw Emperor Xuanwu sitting in the middle of the torture chamber, she also saw the person behind him.
The anger of being betrayed and sold out instantly swept through her body, and she rushed over: "Pei Wu, you bastard, how dare you betray me, I want you..."
Before she finished her words, she was pressed to the ground by the guards.
The emperor chuckled: "Back then, the most trusted personal nanny of Concubine Jing Gui was bribed by you to exchange your dead baby with mine. How come you didn't think about how sad Concubine Jing Gui would be when she was betrayed by the person she trusted the most? Concubine Jing Gui trusted you so much, but didn't you still plot her to death?"
Those who harm others will be harmed by others, and those who betray others will eventually be stabbed in the back.
The worst thing Concubine Jing Gui did in her life was to treat the empress dowager as a good sister and trust the palace maids around her.
"Don't mention her!"
The Queen Mother was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her hair stood on end, as if she was caught in a certain memory. Her face was twisted with jealousy and she said, "What do you know? Concubine Jing was born in a famous family. She was a concubine when she entered the palace. She was also the love of the late emperor when he was young. She had everything that I could never get in my life when she was born. I was unwilling to accept this. That fool of hers was protected too well. She didn't know what it meant to be evil. So I helped her."
So after Concubine Jing became pregnant, she immediately seduced the emperor to have sex with her, trying her best to get pregnant with Concubine Jing one after the other.
Later, she inquired about the date of Concubine Jing's birth, and took the medicine to induce labor on that day to bring the child down.
Her original plan was that if both of them gave birth to princes, she would exchange her own child for Concubine Jing's child, so that her child would be pampered and blessed by the court officials. Then she would let Concubine Jing's child stay with her and let him suffer all kinds of pain and torture.
But later she gave birth to a princess.
What's the use of a princess?
If she doesn't bring any benefits to her, then there is no need for her to exist.
Drowning the little princess was also to avoid more trouble. If the truth came out one day and the princess lived, there would be endless troubles. It would be better to kill her once and for all.
The little princess's body could also be used to seriously injure Concubine Jing.
The queen mother herself did not expect that Concubine Jing would die of heavy bleeding due to emotional excitement.
Committing two murders at once, especially killing her own daughter, made her a little scared, so she secretly built a small Buddhist temple in her bedroom.
Recalling this, the Queen Mother stared at Pei Huo with eyes full of resentment: "Shufei and Rongfei have not discovered my secret for so many years, Pei Wu... you told Rongfei, right?"
Pei Wu bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, please calm down. Awu has been a spy planted by the Emperor by your side from the beginning. The Emperor has never favored Awu. He did it for you, the Queen Mother. The purpose of Awu staying in Cining Palace is to catch your handle."
After a long period of careful observation, she finally discovered the secret of the small Buddhist temple.
That's why Pei Wu reported to the emperor, and together they set a trap to lure the empress dowager in, and then use Concubine Rong to send her to her death.
"Hahahahaha..."
The empress dowager suddenly laughed: "You all know it, so what? I am still the emperor's mother in name. Does the emperor want to spread this royal scandal to the people?"
The emperor already knew the whole story, and he didn't waste any more words with her. Instead, he stood up and walked to the door: "The result of the discussion of the court officials is to send you to the temporary palace, and let you end your miserable life there."
The empress dowager raised a smug smile, thinking that the emperor really couldn't do anything to her.
However, the next moment, she heard the emperor's cruel voice: "So I have sent the team escorting the "Empress Dowager" to the Zhenzhou Palace. As for you...you will repent here and pay the price for everything you have done. I will let you here..."
He slowly emphasized the last three words: "Lock. Until. Death!"
"No! No! No!"
"Bang!"
The door of the torture chamber was closed, and the room that was bright just now became completely dark again.
"Shen Ye!"
"You are a heartless and ungrateful idiot. Even if I didn't give birth to you, I raised you. Without me, do you think you can grow up alive? Let me out quickly!"
The only response to her was the endless darkness of the torture chamber and her own miserable echo.
When she was a child, she always made Emperor Xuanwu suffer, and this time it was all retribution on her.
The person who became the "Empress Dowager" and went to the palace to live out her life was actually Concubine Rong.
Now she can no longer be called Concubine Rong. She aided the tyrant and was demoted to a commoner. However, the emperor agreed to let her leave the palace because she wrote down all the crimes of the empress dowager and made them public. From then on, there was no such person as Concubine Rong in the palace.
Compared with her sister, her ending was much better.
On the first day of June, the empress's coffin was transported to the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum.
Before dawn, Fenyun took the fifth prince to kowtow outside Jiang Xinyue's bedroom to thank her. She did not disturb her rest and left the palace with the fifth prince.
Until this day, Concubine De, who had been claiming to be sick, dared to walk around.
