After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

The next day, Qiao Nian first went to Prince Ming's mourning hall to pay homage, and then went to Concubine De's palace.

When they saw Qiao Nian, the expressions on the palace maids' faces were intriguing.

Qiao Nian just pretended not to see it.

The palace maid who led the way led Qiao Nian outside Concubine De Gui's bedroom and motioned for Qiao Nian to enter the room.

Qiao Nian pushed the door open and walked in. Through the gauze curtains, she saw Concubine De Gui sitting on the bed, with a maid beside her constantly rubbing Concubine De Gui's temples.

Qiao Nian stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, "The daughter of the common people pays her regards to the noble concubine."

The words fell, but there was no response.

Qiao Nian knew that Concubine De Gui was awake, after all, the low sobs could still be heard occasionally.

After several times, Qiao Nian finally couldn't help but said, "My dear, the deceased is gone..."

Before she could finish her words, Concubine De Gui suddenly stormed over.

The gossamer curtain was almost torn off.

Concubine De Gui walked up to Qiao Nian and slapped her down without mercy, "Pah!"

"Why do you say this?" Concubine De Gui scolded angrily, her strong cry filled with endless hatred, "You clearly promised me that you would bring him back safely! But why did my Qi'er die? You are still alive? Tell me why you are still alive!”

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, swallowed the fishy sweetness in her mouth, and then said, "It was the prince who risked his life to protect her, so the daughter of the people had a glimmer of hope."

"You're lying!" Concubine De Gui shouted, crying and laughing, "Do you think you can deceive all the civil and military officials, the emperor, and me with these words?"

She is Prince Ming’s biological mother!

Could she not know what her son was like or what his son would do?

Fight to the death to protect each other?

Oh, I'll beat her to death and I won't believe it!

Thinking of this, Concubine De Gui seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly grabbed Qiao Nian's collar, "You killed Qi'er, right? You hated him for beating you half to death, so you took the opportunity to kill him, right? No? You bitch! I'll kill you!"

After saying that, Concubine De Gui pushed Qiao Nian to the ground, clenched her fists and started to hit Qiao Nian randomly.

However, after only two blows, Qiao Nian grabbed his wrist.

The little kung fu she possesses is not enough to deal with bandits, but it is more than enough to deal with the weak Concubine De.

Concubine De Gui had no idea that Qiao Nian would resist. She immediately opened her eyes wide and shouted angrily, "You bitch! You killed your wife and children. Do you still want to kill me now?!"

Qiao Nian frowned, but she lowered her voice and warned, "If the imperial concubine wants everyone in the world to know who Prince Ming is, just keep roaring like this and make everyone know!"

One sentence seemed to bring back Concubine De Gui's reason.

Her face was full of tears, and she just stared at Qiao Nian. She no longer screamed and roared, but she still complained, "It was you who killed Qi'er!"

Qiao Nian knew that Concubine De Gui was relatively calm now.

So, she asked, "What will the daughter of the people gain by killing King Ming? The imperial concubine clearly knows that the person who least wants King Ming to die in this world is me, besides you!"

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui's tears kept falling.

Yes, of course she understands.

Otherwise, she would not have asked Qiao Nian to be a hostage in exchange for Prince Ming.

However, Qiao Nian said that King Ming died to protect her. As the biological mother of King Ming, how could she believe it?

Seeing Concubine De's tears becoming more and more violent, Qiao Nian took a deep breath and said, "I am here today to tell Concubine De the truth about the death of Prince Ming."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui was stunned for a moment, but then she quickly thought of something and said to the maids in the room, "Get out."

"Yes!" The palace maids retreated in response, the door was closed, and the room instantly became dark.

Qiao Nian then spoke slowly, "When the girl saw the prince, he had been tortured by bandits for a long time and was covered with injuries. He knelt on the ground and begged the bandits to let him go, begging like a dog! "

Doesn’t Concubine De Gui want to know the truth?

This is the truth.

Her only son, her beloved son, completely lost the magnanimity and arrogance that a prince should have in front of those bandits.

Just imagining that scene, Concubine De Gui's heart began to throb.

However, she also knew that what Qiao Nian was saying was more credible than trying to protect each other to the death.

Qiao Nian let go of Concubine De Gui's hand and stood up from the ground.

Concubine De Gui was still kneeling on the ground, as if she had lost all her strength.

Qiao Nian then continued, "Do you still remember that there was a maid named Qian'er in this palace?"

Qian'er?

Concubine De Gui's mind soon appeared in the mind of a girl with a smile as cute as a crescent moon.

But later, the girl was taken to the west of the city by King Ming.

She was startled and quickly turned to look at Qiao Nian, "How do you know Qian'er?"

Seeing the fear in Concubine De Gui's eyes, Qiao Nian couldn't help but sneered, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a young eunuch with high martial arts skills to accompany me to rescue Prince Ming. Killed all those bandits! But who knew... that little eunuch wanted to avenge Qian'er."

Hearing this, Concubine De Gui was stunned.

Was it the young eunuch sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs who killed Qi'er?

But the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are all the emperor’s people!

A low sigh came from Qiao Nian, "My Lady, is this the result of evil deeds?"

If the King of Ming had never tortured or killed anyone, then today, the King of Ming would have reunited with the Royal Concubine De!

The Royal Concubine De seemed unable to accept this for a moment, and shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, you are lying to me, you are lying to me!"

"What I said in the hall was a lie, to help the King of Ming retain the last bit of dignity and respect!"

Hearing this, the Royal Concubine De couldn't help laughing twice, "You? To retain dignity and respect for Qi'er? Hahaha... why?"

She didn't believe it at all.

The King of Ming almost beat Qiao Nian to death. Even if Qiao Nian wanted the King of Ming to live, she must be the person who hated the King of Ming the most in the world!

How could she think of retaining dignity and respect for the King of Ming?

Seeing the mockery on Concubine De's face, Qiao Nian finally sighed, "Because before the death of King Ming, he said something to me."

Concubine De was puzzled, "What did he say?"

"He said 'I'm sorry...'"

I'm sorry!

These three short words, like a sharp blade, pierced Concubine De's heart.

Concubine De burst into tears instantly, "Qi'er, he was not like that before... He was very good, very obedient, and very kind! He used to be the emperor's favorite prince..."

But later, Qi'er was injured, and everything changed.

Qi'er couldn't stand such a blow, so he gradually lost his nature.

Unexpectedly, before he died, he turned into the good, obedient, and kind person he used to be...

Concubine De cried for a long time.

She cried until she had no strength left, and she fell to the ground.

Qiao Nian couldn't bear it after all, and helped Concubine De up.

Unexpectedly, Concubine De suddenly asked, "Did Lady Liu tell you?"
