Chapter 225: Always Lying to Him
When Concubine Chen heard Xie Rongying say "blood test to identify relatives", she almost couldn't stand. When she saw the Second Prince being dragged like an object by Xie Rongying's men, she forced herself to stand there.
The second prince was thrown heavily to the ground by Huaian and was already frightened out of his voice.
Zheng Pingxi was also thrown to the ground. Because his limbs were tied with ropes, he could only lie on the ground, gasping for breath.
When Concubine Chen rushed towards the Second Prince and wanted to untie him, Huaian immediately aimed the sword in his hand at Concubine Chen.
She took a deep breath and collapsed to the ground in fear, staring at Huaian in horror.
Huaian's actions obviously made Emperor Ren De feel neglected and disdainful, which he had not felt in many years.
It was as if at this moment he had returned to being Prince Yu, who relied on the late emperor for survival.
Over the years, he has become accustomed to being in a high position and accustomed to everyone having to look to his face to survive.
He didn't expect that someone here would ignore his identity and point a sword at his woman and child.
"Your Majesty, since you are here today, you might as well confirm everything I know one by one." Xie Rongying had already stood up at this time.
She stared deeply at Emperor Ren De. No matter how the Xie family avoided or supported the current emperor, the final outcome would still be the same: the dog would be abandoned after the rabbit had died.
Then she will take a risk and fight to the death!
Emperor Rende looked at Xie Rongying, who had stood up without him telling her to, and his expression became even uglier. "What are you doing? Are you questioning the heir to the throne?"
Concubine Chen ignored the long sword pointed at her and crawled towards Emperor Ren De: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must listen to Xie Rongying's slander. Xie Rongying designed you and me to come here today. There must be other ambushes. Your Majesty, please leave!"
How could Emperor Ren De not know the worries of Concubine Chen?
When he left the palace, he was sure that King Wei would not do anything, so he did not bring many people with him.
But at the moment, Emperor Ren De was not sure what role King Wei played in this situation.
Or is it as Concubine Chen said, that the King of Wei and the Xie family have been colluding with each other for a long time?
Sure enough, Zhao Yu has been close to Xie Ting over the years and had already informed the Xie family.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Emperor Ren De was in a trance, Concubine Chen screamed.
Emperor Ren De came back to his senses and looked at Xie Rongying coldly: "You brought the Concubine Chen and the prince here today. What do you want to do? Rebellion!?"
The word "rebellion" gave Emperor Ren De an indescribable feeling.
He didn't know what King Wei was doing in secret, but he knew what King Wei's purpose was.
Perhaps it was because his throne was not obtained legitimately, and Emperor Ren De had been afraid to face the guilt deep in his heart.
So when he said the word "rebellion", he felt as if the voice of the late emperor saying these two words to him was hitting him right between his eyebrows.
"Your Majesty, how could a mere woman like you rebel? I have been persecuted for so long that I am driven to desperation, and only then did I think of fighting back." Xie Rongying spoke clearly, her gaze sweeping over Concubine Chen. "At this point, I will not conceal the truth from Your Majesty. Shi Yang died in the palace of the Grand Empress, and it was all at the behest of Concubine Chen that I did it."
"I think Your Majesty was on the second floor just now and heard what I said." Xie Rongying said as she sat back in her wheelchair with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I'm seriously injured and haven't recovered yet, so please forgive me for any impoliteness."
"Xie Rongying!" Seeing that Xie Rongying didn't even take Emperor Rende seriously, Concubine Chen had a bad feeling in her heart: "Have you colluded with the King of Wei all along? You used me as an excuse to get His Majesty out of the palace, and you've already set up an ambush here?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Rongying tutted her words twice: "Empress Chen, I just said that I only want to protect myself. I don't have the ability to ambush you and His Majesty."
"Besides, if it weren't for you, Empress Chen Fei, who repeatedly tried to kill me, I wouldn't be here today."
Concubine Chen looked at Xie Rongying's smiling face, her eyes filled with shock: "I have tried to take your life again and again?"
"No, I was wrong. It was probably the Concubine Chen who was trying to win over the Xie family by showing me good will. I disagreed, so she decided to kill me." Xie Rongying glanced at Shangguan Jing as she spoke. "The Concubine Chen had a brilliant plan. She thought I was a useless pawn, so she used Shangguan Jing to impersonate the Crown Prince to take my life directly. At the same time, she could also get rid of the Crown Prince who was blocking the Second Prince's path."
"Thank you Rongying!" Chen Fei screamed angrily!
Xie Rongying looked at Zheng Pingxi who was lying on the ground.
Huaian understood and stepped forward to cut the ropes on Huaian's hands and feet.
Zheng Xiping's limbs were freed. He looked up at Emperor Ren De and continued to crawl on the ground.
"Sir Zheng, you stirred up controversy in the court, and joined the King of Wei's men in asking His Majesty to give the Xie family justice. Do you truly want His Majesty to do justice to the Xie family, or are you being instigated to pressure His Majesty to remove the Crown Prince?"
Zheng Pingxi suddenly raised his head and looked towards Xie Rongying. Just as he was about to deny it, he heard Xie Rongying say lightly, "Master Zheng, you need to think it over carefully before you speak."
Zheng Pingxi's face turned pale, his hands trembling slightly as he supported himself on the ground. "Your Majesty, I was persuaded by the Empress Chen to align with the Prince of Wei and his followers in asking you to remove the Crown Prince and give the Xie family an explanation."
Emperor Ren De took a deep breath and kicked Concubine Chen in the chest.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Chen lay on the ground, the pain in her chest spreading throughout her body.
"Mother, mother." The second prince, unable to move, could only helplessly watch the painful expression of Concubine Chen.
Xie Rongying continued, "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing. I know what consequences my actions today will bring to the Xie family, but if the Xie family is to perish, I will die, and I will drag Concubine Chen down with me."
Seeing Xie Rongying's determination to kill her, Concubine Chen was about to speak when Emperor Rende said, "A blood test? If the Second Prince were still alive, then he would be my child. Can you bear the fate of the entire Xie family?"
Xie Rongying and Emperor Rende exchanged glances. "Your Majesty, I am certainly capable of doing something like this today. I just wonder if Your Majesty dares to face the fact that your son, whom you have raised for so many years, is being toyed around by a woman."
"How dare you!" Emperor Ren De roared.
At this moment, Emperor Ren De had an indescribable and uncontrollable feeling of powerlessness.
From the moment the late emperor died, what was not under his control?
Even the matters that mattered to him in Dayin were under his control.
When will a woman be able to play him in the palm of her hand?
She is also the woman he trusts the most.
Over the years, Feng Qingyun has already become a different person in his heart.
In the end, someone showed up and told him that this woman had been lying to him all along?
