PDLP Chapter 143 Old Love
Chapter 143 Old Love
Concubine Rou clenched her fists and crawled on the ground.
Her teeth were chattering as she slowly raised her head to look at Zhou Shiya.
Zhou Shiya frowned and glanced at Concubine Rou with a cold, warning look in her eyes.
Then, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and played with it in her hand.
There was some panic in Roupin's eyes. She quickly lowered her head and dared not look at Zhou Shiya again.
She tried to calm herself.
The more desperate the situation is, the more you must not panic.
She tried to calm herself down.
Cuirong continued, "Huan'er keeps bewitching me... Concubine Jing has no future, and as a servant, I have no future. My whole life will be like mud, crushed into the dirt like Concubine Jing, never to be able to turn over again."
"She gradually encouraged me to do something. She handed me a prescription and told me to carry it out according to her plan. She only said that the prescription could cause Concubine Jing to have a miscarriage, but she didn't say it was poisoned. She also didn't say that this thing could actually kill the heir in Concubine Jing's belly."
"By the time I realized what was wrong, it was already too late. Concubine Jing had a miscarriage and the heir was gone. To save my life, I had no choice but to continue cooperating with them, telling this outrageous lie and slandering the Imperial Concubine. Who knew... the pregnancy-preserving prescription the Imperial Concubine was taking was also problematic... It's clear they were trying to kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty, I deserve death. I hope Your Majesty will consider my confession and spare the lives of my family."
Cuirong lay on the ground and kowtowed continuously, her forehead was covered in blood.
Jingpin, who was originally lying in the inner hall, heard Cuirong's confession.
She rushed out from the inner hall like a madman, pounced in front of Cuirong, and beat Cuirong madly.
"You slut, it was you... you colluded with outsiders to kill my child."
"I've been so good to you... Over the years, I've thought of you for everything delicious and useful. I thought you were the person I trusted most in this palace, but I never expected... you would actually kill my child."
"Bitch, bitch, give my child back..."
"You're the one who hurt me, you're the one who destroyed everything for me!"
There was madness in Jingpin's eyes, and she scratched Cuirong's face until it was torn to pieces.
Cuirong knelt on the ground and did not resist, allowing Jingpin to vent her anger and beat her.
Her eyes were filled with regret. "Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment and harmed you and the heir. I was too stupid and got tricked. I really didn't want to kill the heir... I didn't want to harm you either. I just wanted to pull the imperial concubine down from her high position. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"All of this was planned by Concubine Rou. She is the culprit."
Jingpin stopped moving, her eyes dull as she cried, "Roupin...Roupin..."
She stiffened and turned to Roupin.
"For all these years, I've had no grudges against you, so why did you kill my child? You couldn't conceive yourself, so you killed mine... You appear so gentle and kind on the surface, but how could you be so vicious at heart?"
"Roupin, I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you and avenge my child. Ah..."
She roared and pounced on Concubine Rou, tearing her hair, scratching her face, and hitting her all over her body.
Concubine Rou sobbed and cried, dodging and explaining in a panic.
"No, it wasn't me... I didn't order Huan'er to do those things. She was bribed."
"I don't know anything."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to believe me. I have been wronged. I, like the Imperial Concubine, have been slandered and framed."
The Queen Mother was somewhat soft-hearted towards Concubine Rou. She couldn't believe that someone who had been so gentle and considerate could be as vicious as a snake and wantonly kill people.
She quickly asked the palace maids to pull Concubine Jing away.
Concubine Rou's clothes were disheveled, her hair was loose, and her face was scratched with bloody marks.
She crawled slowly to Qin Feiling's feet and raised her hand to grab his robe: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I really know nothing. If you don't believe me, send someone to interrogate Huan'er."
"I really didn't do anything..."
Qin Feiling's eyes were full of disgust, and he kicked her away.
Concubine Rou screamed, covering her aching belly and looking with tearful eyes at the man who was looking down at her without a trace of tenderness.
She knew that he wanted to kill her now.
He would never be soft on her.
This man has always been cold and heartless. He has no heart... He found a new love and had long abandoned her, his old love.
Oh, all the concubines in the harem are no match for Zhou Lingge?
Does he like her that much?
An emperor of a country falls in love with a woman?
Is this realistic?
She didn't believe at all that Qin Feiling's feelings for Zhou Lingge were real.
A man like him only loves himself.
He is high and mighty, holding the power of life and death. With just a word from him, he can put anyone to death.
He is so conceited and arrogant.
His heart can hold the whole world, but it can never hold any woman.
Oh, she was stupid. She shouldn't have expected his affection and love from the beginning.
Concubine Rou gritted her teeth secretly, she had not lost yet.
She won't give in.
She still has chips in her hand, she can't fall down at this time.
Concubine Rou suppressed the resentment in her heart, and crawled to the Queen Mother crying. She reached out and grabbed the hem of the Queen Mother's skirt.
"Empress Dowager, you believe me... I didn't mean to harm Concubine Jing, nor did I mean to frame the Imperial Concubine. I am innocent, and I have been wrongly accused."
"Queen Dowager, please have mercy on me, considering how I once took care of you. Send someone to interrogate Huan'er. I am truly innocent."
The Queen Mother was reluctant after all. "Since we want to investigate, then we must thoroughly interrogate Huan'er. Come, bring Huan'er in. I want to question her personally."
Concubine Rou breathed a sigh of relief...at least the Queen Mother still believed her now.
Then she still has a chance to turn the tables.
She gradually calmed down.
Huan'er was brought in and she knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother asked bluntly, "Regarding the poisoning of Concubine Jing... and the framing of the Imperial Concubine, what do you have to say? Did Concubine Rou instruct you to secretly contact Cuirong, so that she could secretly change the medicine and use Cuirong to poison Concubine Jing and the Imperial Concubine? I must hear the truth. If you dare to lie, I will kill all your nine clans."
Huan'er lowered her head and kowtowed hard.
She trembled, not daring to hide anything, and replied immediately.
"This servant... all that this servant has done was not instructed by Concubine Rou... but rather, Li promised to plot this conspiracy in order to take revenge on the Imperial Concubine... It was Li who orchestrated all of this."
"These are the things Li promised to do."
The Queen Mother's expression changed, her eyes filled with surprise: "What? Li agreed?"
