Chapter 50: Desire to Die



Chapter 50: Seeking Death

When Huo Jinchi walked back into the main hall, everyone stood up and saluted, and naturally saw that the emperor had changed his clothes.

Just before that, Aunt Xia Yun, who was in front of Xu An, suddenly walked in with a panicked look on her face and whispered something in Xu An's ear.

After Xu An heard this, his face changed, and he immediately walked to the emperor's side and whispered the news.

There was no expression on the emperor's face, but he immediately stood up, left the people in the hall behind, and walked out the door.

He did not try to hide it, and everyone naturally knew that he had gone to the side hall, where he was away for about a quarter of an hour, and when he came back he changed his clothes.

Everyone present knew who was currently housed in the side hall.

After all, he was pulled into the water by Huipin and then rescued Huipin from the water. Now the only one who needs treatment is that person.

Some people even saw the emperor carrying the unconscious girl to a side hall.

Aunt Xia Yun in front of them was also busy running around, getting clothes, boiling medicine, and asking Dr. Yu to come over. Even if they were blind, they should have heard it!

Concubine Liu could hardly hide her jealousy. Seeing the emperor's nervous look, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for this little palace maid!

"Your Majesty..." The Queen bowed slightly, her face still as cold as ever, and she didn't even look away, as if she didn't notice that the Emperor had changed his clothes.

Huo Jinchi responded calmly, sat down in the main seat, and said, "Go on."

The queen then sat down and looked at Lady Liu who was kneeling on the ground, "Don't you know you are wrong?"

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what I did wrong. I just had a quarrel with Concubine Hui, but I didn't push her into the water!" Concubine Liu looked hesitant and looked at the Emperor.

The queen still had a stern face, but Lan Ying beside her sneered in her heart.

Now she is putting it nicely, saying that they just had a few words, but she has already been interrogated. It is obvious that this Concubine Liu deliberately angered Concubine Hui so that she can take the opportunity to let the Emperor punish her.

If it weren’t for her, Concubine Hui would have returned to the palace long ago under the persuasion of the palace maid, and there wouldn’t have been so many things happening later!

Huo Jinchi didn't even look at Lady Liu, but asked Xu An beside him, "Why don't you see Concubine De?"

"Your Majesty, people around Concubine De said that the eldest prince was feeling a little unwell today and couldn't be alone, so Concubine De will not come." Xu An replied in a low voice.

Huo Jinchi frowned slightly, "Send someone to check it out, and tell Concubine De that I will go to see the eldest prince when I have time."

"I've made note of it."

As the two were talking, Huo Jinchi never even looked at Miss Liu.

Concubine Liu's eyes were full of disbelief and her look turned resentful, and she looked at the Empress with even more resentment.

What does today's incident have to do with her? How could she know that Kong Cainü would suddenly go crazy and push Huipin into the water.

It was totally an unprovoked disaster!

But she had no idea that the emperor had always been so kind to her, but he was just trying to distract other people's attention. Now the child in Huipin's belly was harmed by someone, and he was too lazy to even look at the fool Concubine Liu again.

"Your Majesty, I really just had a few words with Sister Huipin..."

Before Lady Liu could say anything, there was a sudden noise of footsteps outside, and several eunuchs came in, dragging a man covered in blood, whose original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

The person covered in blood was Kong Cainü.

Seeing her in such a miserable state, Lady Liu was so frightened that she first collapsed to the ground, then she covered her mouth and vomited, no longer able to defend herself.

The queen glanced at her, then looked at Kong Cainü, who was lying on the ground, seemingly with only one breath left.

"Hurry up and tell me why you want to harm Concubine Hui. If you still refuse to tell the truth, I will drag you directly to the Ministry of Punishment next time!" The queen slammed the armrest in anger, and the anger in her eyes did not seem fake.

She knew very well how much the Emperor and the Empress Dowager valued the child in Huipin's belly. The Empress Dowager had reminded her more than once to be careful.

During this time, she even paid close attention to Huipin's every move, but she had to be on guard against everything. Before, someone almost poisoned Huipin with a small piece of money grass, and later someone caused Huipin to fall into the water and have a miscarriage.

The Queen didn't dare to imagine how angry the Queen Mother was right now, and how disappointed she was with her!

Kong Cainv raised her head slightly upon hearing the voice, and looked at the empress sitting on the throne, then her eyes moved to the emperor. She sneered twice, and said in a weak voice: "Do you need any more reasons to harm Huipin? I have said it many times, I just want her to die! It's a pity that she is still so lucky, she just lost the baby, but she is still alive!"

"Shut up!" the queen shouted.

But how could Kong Cainv keep silent? Her eyes were full of resentment. "Why, why is her luck so good? I love children so much, why can't God give me a child!"

She looked at the emperor again and pleaded, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you still remember our friendship over the years, please let me die quickly! It is me, it is me who wants to kill Huipin, please, Your Majesty!"

She looked like she just wanted to die quickly, which might be because she couldn't bear the interrogation and beating, but it still looked suspicious.

This time, Hawking Chi did not remain silent. Instead, he waved his hand, and someone immediately threw a bundle in front of Kong Cainu.

Inside were all the small clothes she had hurriedly made during this period. The stitches were so fine that even the embroidered patterns were exquisite.

"If you really wanted to kill her, why did you bother making so many clothes for her children!"

Huo Jinchi leaned forward slightly and looked at her with eyes as cold as ice. "As long as you confess the real mastermind behind the scenes, whether you want to live or die, I will satisfy you."

Kong Cainü stretched out her bloodstained hand, brushed her fingers lightly over the clothes, and cried even more uncontrollably.

Just when everyone thought she had softened, she suddenly raised her head and said angrily: "Who said these are clothes made for Huipin's children? These are clothes made for my own children. Don't tell me that I will never have my own children!"

Her voice was like a broken bellows, she screamed: "Even if you ask me a thousand times, ten thousand times, this is what I want to do. I want Huipin to die, I want the life of the child in her belly! I hate her, I wish she was dead!"

Seeing that she was still so stubborn after being tortured once, the queen didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only look at Huo Jinchi and wait for him to make the decision.

Huo Jinchi had already sat back down slowly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, but her tone was still cold, "Drag her away, find a doctor to treat her injuries, and have someone take good care of her. If she dies, I will only hold you responsible!"

"yes!"

Hearing what he said, Kong Cainu cried out in grief. She said loudly, "Your Majesty, Huo Jinchi! You have no heart. The blood in your veins is cold. You are not worthy of so many women pouring out their hearts and lungs for you. Huipin's child is gone. It is God's punishment for you! People like you deserve to die!"

"Why don't you shut her up!" The queen patted the armrest and stood up, saying to Huo Jinchi, "Your Majesty, I think she has gone crazy. She is talking crazy like this, I'm afraid she can't be kept here!"

Huo Jinchi was not moved by Kong Cainu's words. He just looked up at the queen and said calmly, "Do as I say!"

The queen felt a chill on the back of her neck when he looked at her. She dared not say anything more and could only lower her head slightly, "I understand."
