Chapter 236: Broken Defense
Behead them all! Behead them all!
The emperor wanted to behead them all.
But once this matter is thoroughly investigated, the royal family will lose face, mainly...
He still can't save his face!
If Concubine Hui was a man, he wouldn't be so aggrieved! !
"Shu Fei, Qin Guiren, Lin Zhaoyi, and Jiang Fei have been banished to the cold palace! No one is allowed to visit them!"
"If even a word of this gets out to the outside world, I will kill Concubine Hui!"
Concubine Jiang, Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you for your grace."
"Thank you, Princess Zhaoyang..." If it weren't for Zhaoyang, they would have been dead.
"Concubine Hui, go to the temple to practice, and you are not allowed to leave the temple for the rest of your life! You will be imprisoned for life, until you die!"
“Drag him away!”
The emperor suppressed his murderous intentions and dealt with concubines on a large scale, which would only lead to speculation from the outside world.
After things cooled down, he had plenty of time to deal with Concubine Hui.
The hall was quiet.
Eunuch Wang lowered his head and dared not say a word, wishing he could find a crack to crawl into. Your Majesty will not kill to silence the witnesses, right? ?
The emperor had a cold face and said nothing.
"Go back to the imperial study." The emperor said in a serious tone.
After returning to the imperial study, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Wang Yuanlu, please leave."
"Ask the imperial kitchen to send some food and... some wine." The emperor spoke in a low voice, his expression dazed.
Eunuch Wang wanted to comfort her, but he felt the blow was too great and didn't know where to start.
Only Lu Chaochao was thick-skinned and followed him into the imperial study.
Before leaving, Eunuch Wang begged, "Princess, please persuade His Majesty to be more open-minded."
Lu Chaochao agreed solemnly.
The emperor took out a portrait he had treasured for a long time from his bookshelf.
"These are the birthday gifts she gives me every year." The emperor treasured them, but he didn't expect...
"This is a doll she carved herself... This is the first time I have received such a simple and thoughtful gift. I have always treasured it..." His birthday gifts every year were priceless, but only this little wooden sculpture warmed his heart.
Lu Chaochao tiptoed to take a look.
"Jiang Concubine has..."
"Lady Qin has..."
"Shu Fei has..."
"Lin Zhaoyi has..."
"They are all bigger and more delicate than yours."
"They are still a couple."
"Emperor father, this piece of yours... is just made with leftover materials, right?" Lu Chaochao's childish words stabbed the emperor in the back.
After saying this, he remembered Eunuch Wang’s instructions.
The little guy was trying frantically to make up for it.
"Chao Chao means that she doesn't like the emperor father, but she also made a doll for him...she still cares about him...right?" As the emperor kept persuading her, his eyes turned red.
"Well...she is still willing to coax you...what if, she is sincere at least a little bit?" Lu Chaochao was embarrassed. How could she make His Majesty cry?
The emperor felt a lump in his throat, and the wood carving, which he had played with countless times, became extremely hot.
The rough wood carving had already become extremely smooth after he played with it.
But, it is still not as lifelike as Concubine Qin.
He turned and took the portrait next to him.
"On my birthday two years ago, she said she wanted to draw a family portrait for me personally."
"She spent a full half month painting this picture. She even became sick from exhaustion..." The emperor looked at the portrait, which was painted in the imperial garden, and there were many concubines as well...
"She drew the emperor father in the ugliest way possible..." Lu Chaochao commented seriously.
"The concubines are all pretty, but the Queen is the prettiest..."
The emperor's eyes fell on the queen, and suddenly...
Thinking back to how Concubine Hui had approached the Queen several times, causing the Queen to reprimand her and express her displeasure.
The smile on the emperor's face slowly froze.
"She also had feelings for the queen?!" the emperor gritted his teeth!
Lu Chaochao blinked her eyes: "Last time when we were having dinner, her legs secretly hooked the Queen's legs..."
emperor! ! ! !
"She even wants to hold the Queen's hand..."
The emperor was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "Please bless me, my late emperor! She almost succeeded!"
The Queen refused several times and stopped Concubine Hui outside the palace several times, but he pushed the Queen in.
As the emperor spoke, his eyes became red and his defenses broke.
The defense was broken directly.
"Chao Chao, I have never made my own choice in my life. I only chose her!"
"I went against the court officials, the late emperor, and the whole world to bring her back to the palace."
"How could she let me down like this?" The emperor poured himself a glass of wine, feeling numb with pain in his heart.
"Isn't it good for her to take care of the concubines for you?" Lu Chaochao crossed her legs and secretly took out a four-happiness meatball while he wasn't paying attention.
"You, alone, have monopolized so many beautiful aunts..." Lu Chaochao stared at his wine glass while chewing a meatball.
"The children of the royal family need to have descendants. They also need to rely on the power of the harem and the court..." The emperor waved his hands, his cheeks a little red from drinking.
Lu Chaochao frowned.
"That……"
“You deserve it…”
"You are incompetent, so you have to rely on women for power! A truly strong person never relies on fancy things!"
The emperor was startled and smiled bitterly: "I am not as clear as Chao Chao..."
Lu Chaochao glanced at him.
The emperor held a wine pot and drank to drown his sorrows: "Shu Fei gave birth to five princes, Hui Fei gave birth to the eldest prince... Now, if their mother is banished to the cold palace, I am afraid that the relationship between father and son will be hurt."
"Think of something happy..." Lu Chaochao said in order to live up to Eunuch Wang's advice.
I couldn't help but give him some advice.
"At this point, what else can I think about?" The emperor's face was bitter.
"There's no need to defend the father-son relationship with the eldest prince. The eldest prince is not your biological son."
"Are you happier?" Lu Chaochao looked at him expectantly.
She looked at the emperor, and the emperor burst into tears.
The last time I cried was when the late emperor passed away.
This time she cried because Lu Chaochao persuaded her to cry.
"Why are you unhappy? Why aren't you smiling?"
“You, you, you, don’t cry…” Lu Chaochao frantically took out a handkerchief, her little face full of panic.
I'm sorry, Eunuch Wang, I'm so sorry! !
I persuaded the emperor to break down and cry! !
"The baby born to Concubine Hui died young, so she adopted one..." Lu Chaochao was at a loss.
The emperor hugged Lu Chaochao and cried inconsolably.
"Chao Chao... Chao Chao, thank you. I am so lucky to have you." The emperor burst into tears...
Lu Chaochao was suspicious and puzzled, and scratched the little tuft of hair on his head.
"No thanks?"
"I can tell you something else, will you listen?"
Lu Chaochao was very excited, his eyes widened: "I know so many secrets! So many, so many..."
"Will you listen to what happened between the late emperor and the empress dowager?"
"Do you want to have some fun? Listen to something funny?" Lu Chaochao was in high spirits.
When the emperor heard the word "fun", he shuddered violently.
At noon, she entered the palace in a listless state, looking for fun.
In the afternoon, he turned green.
"I don't want to listen. I don't want to hear anything!!" The emperor dragged her out of the door.
"The late emperor has been buried in peace, let him go." Emperor Xuanping was awakened from his drunkenness.
Bang.
Lock her out.
I’m afraid that if I’m a second late, the reputation of the late emperor will be lost!
Lu Chaochao pouted: "I just want to make you happy..."
Eunuch Wang came over attentively and said, "Princess Zhaoyang, have you persuaded His Majesty?"
Lu Chaochao nodded: "Persuade me."
"I said that your Majesty loves the princess the most and is willing to listen to advice. How is your Majesty?"
Lu Chaochao blinked her eyes and said, "I've persuaded you to break down my defense."
"He wants to die."
