Reborn as the crippled king's favorite

The concubines in the cold palace dispersed in a hurry.

Even the palace maids and eunuchs all retreated.

The emperor looked at Concubine Jing who was shivering in the mud. On her face, which was full of flesh and blood, there was only majesty, a majesty that was extremely cold.

Concubine Jing looked very haggard. She had lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were no longer full of flesh, and her dirty clothes had changed from a tight fit to a loose fit. She had suffered a lot in the past half a month.

Not only that, those hateful women in the cold palace wouldn't let her sleep, and would splash cold water on her to wake her up. They were afraid that she would die, and even gave her medicine.

So although there were no injuries on her face, due to insufficient sleep, her eye sockets were sunken, her eyes were black, and she had heavy bags under her eyes. She seemed to be twenty or thirty years older.

Concubine Jing didn't know that she was no longer even remotely similar to the Queen Mother.

She had never looked in the mirror, only thinking that her haggard and pitiful appearance would make the emperor feel distressed, but when she looked at the emperor's cold eyes, it was like looking at a stranger who had committed a heinous crime.

She panicked.

She has been comforting herself these days. For the sake of the third prince, it is impossible for the emperor to kill her and cause herself so much suffering. Isn't it enough?

Even when she lived in a thatched house and ate wild vegetable roots, she had never suffered such a crime.

"His Majesty……"

She spoke tremblingly.

The emperor interrupted coldly: "I never thought that you are a poisonous woman who kills without blinking an eye."

Concubine Jing's heart was beating like thunder. She shook her head and said, "I don't know what your majesty is talking about. Did your majesty believe something? It was all perjury to frame me. I am so innocent that I don't even dare to step on ants to death." One."

She thought that she didn't lie, and even if she harmed others, she would only do so through others' hands.

Even if Su Jin confessed something, no matter what, she never left any evidence or evidence.

Besides, the people she killed were all small people. She had never killed the emperor's heirs or high-ranking concubines like the former queen.

So she didn't understand why the emperor would be so angry when he mentioned this.

Isn't the emperor himself a cruel and ruthless person who kills anyone he wants?

The emperor sneered.

"Originally, I didn't want to believe that you would poison me. I never wanted to take the words you said to your adulterer seriously. Over the years, you have been obedient and obedient. You have a good relationship with Buddha. You have been with me, and you have worked hard without any credit."

"Yes, Your Majesty! How could I possibly hurt you! It was I who was tricked, and it was the actor who controlled me to say those treacherous words, which were not what I had in mind at all!"

"Chen Honglian, you really think that I am an ignorant fool. At this time, you still want to deceive me!"

"I don't have it. I am unjustly accused, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Jing cried bitterly, vividly showing the pity of an innocent person.

However, the emperor remained unmoved and looked at him coldly.

After a long time, he said: "You want to kill me and let the third child be the emperor and you be the queen mother. By then, you will still be young and can have whatever you want. So you want to get back together with your adulterer and experience the sweetness of the past." . Do you think I’m not treating you well? Chen Honglian, you are such a cruel and vicious woman!"

"I really don't have this idea. Your Majesty, you have been misled by others! It's Prince Ling, yes, that's him. He brought down the concubine and the third prince. And the second prince is disabled, so only he will benefit the most. Got it!"

Concubine Jing finally told the emperor what she had failed to say last time.

But today was different from the past, and she could not imagine why the emperor was angry and resentful.

The emperor didn't believe her excuse at all.

"I am in the prime of life and have many years to live. I can no longer stand for this prince!"

Concubine Jing suddenly looked up at him.

No more crown prince?

Then, wouldn’t he still be in the cold palace for many years?

Concubine Jing felt desperate.

She said loudly: "Your Majesty! You personally taught the Third Prince. How could you not know how good and filial he is? How could you listen to the instigation of evil people?"

"I'm afraid he has the same vicious blood in his bones as you, regicide and patricide!"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Jing felt cold all over.

The third prince is the emperor's favorite son and has been raised as his heir since childhood. How could the emperor say such a thing?

"Did Prince Ling and the others do something or say something to you? Don't believe it. Don't you know who the third prince is?"

The emperor remained unmoved and sneered: "I have been with you for more than twenty years, and I don't even understand you, let alone others!"

"His Majesty!"

"That's enough!" The emperor said angrily: "You are still refusing to admit or repent. I had already planned to appoint you as queen. Fortunately, you couldn't calm down and showed your flaws, otherwise I would not have died. Know!"

Already drafted a decree?

Concubine Jing's eyes widened, filled with dissatisfaction.

But before she could speak, the emperor continued: "Why do you think your adulterer dragged you into the water even to death? Because you poisoned his parents! I asked you to think about whether to leave with me, but you used poison Kill them! Do you know how the city of Yangzhou is scolding me now? They say I raped women, hooked up with them, and poisoned your man's parents together!"

Concubine Jing froze on the spot.

"No! Impossible!"

She didn't want to believe it.

"Obviously what I gave them to drink was the soup, but I just knocked them down! How could they die!"

No wonder, no wonder Mei Yuzong and Prince Ling and Princess Ling colluded to let him die!

What she couldn't figure out these days suddenly became clear at this moment.

But she was shivering all over, and the coldness penetrated deep into her bones, because she knew that she might really die.

"It was indeed you who did it!"

The emperor was furious and kicked him.

Yangzhou is in the south, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He wants to deal with the unruly people who gossip about him, but he can't.

When he thought that in the eyes of the people, he and Chen Honglian were just like Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian, he wanted to strangle Chen Honglian alive.

The good reputation he had worked so hard to build was completely destroyed because of Chen Honglian. Even a hundred years later, his reputation was still spread among the people.

How can the emperor not hate?

No matter how much love there is, in this situation, it will definitely be gone, leaving only hatred.

Not to mention his illusory love.

He couldn't suppress the boiling public voice, so he could only vent his anger on Chen Honglian.

Moreover, if he wanted to restore his reputation, he could only execute Chen Honglian in a high-profile way, telling the world that he was kept in the dark.

Although this is not what the emperor wants, it is the only way to take back the infamy and restore his reputation.

Because of Chen Honglian, the third prince's good reputation was all destroyed in one fell swoop.

Concubine Jing's fingers clawed into the mud, and her nails were broken and bleeding.

The image of Mei Yuzong crashing to death in front of her was all in her mind.

For more than twenty years, Mei Yuzong has been burdened with hatred and resented himself for more than twenty years!
