famous eldest daughter

Chapter 731 The Truth
That was the only woman he had ever loved so far... Even though he later doted on Concubine Ruhui, she could never replace Concubine Mei as his lover in his heart.

However...it was with his own hands...

Thinking of the fate of Concubine Mei and the fate of the emperor's eldest son Xiao Yan, the emperor couldn't help but tighten the brocade quilt covering his legs. His face and facial features seemed to be twisted into a ball due to the emotions in his heart.

Just as the emperor's thoughts were racing, the chamberlain who was slumped on the ground finally took a breath from his grief, stood up with his hands on the ground.

His son has been dead for many years. In the past few years, he has not been in pain for a day. This grief has actually been numb for a long time. The reason why he lost his composure just now was because the topic came up too suddenly, and it was difficult to control the feeling in his heart. Excited.

At this moment, he calmed down his emotions. The chamberlain raised his sleeves, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at the emperor with a look of shame on his face. "I lost control of my emotions and bumped into Your Majesty. I deserve to die." After saying this, he kowtowed and confessed.

The emperor hurriedly stopped him and said: "I don't even understand you, and it's a waste of your life to serve me! Get up quickly, what happened to your son was just an accident at first, but now that you know the truth, don't worry, I will definitely give you something." Please tell me something so that your son doesn’t die in vain.”

When the chamberlain heard this, he knelt down just as a show, but at this moment he spoke from the bottom of his heart, full of excitement: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace on behalf of Xiaoxu, but... she is the queen after all, and Xiaoxu has a low life, what's the point of justice?" It’s unfair, old slave…”

The emperor blocked it with one word, "I said I want to give him justice, so I will definitely give him justice. Get up quickly, old arms and legs. The ground of the palace is not as good as the palace. Although there are earth dragons, it is still cold and damp. It’s serious, I’ll make my legs hurt later, and no one will make me rock sugar and snow pear tea.”

For the sake of your Majesty's ninety-five words, the chamberlain did not dare to disobey. He wiped the tears from the corners of his cheeks and kowtowed three more times. No longer forcing himself, he stood up with his hands on the stool and table, " Your Majesty just said that Concubine Tong also mentioned..."

He dropped the topic very wisely.

What made the emperor sleepless at night was definitely not the matter of the empress killing his son, but the matter of Concubine Mei. How could he focus on his son's problem and confine the emperor's topics and emotions.

The word "Mei Fei" was about to come out, but the head chamberlain paused and suddenly stopped.

Over the years, Concubine Mei and the emperor's eldest son, Xiao Yan, have always been taboo in the palace. For many years, no one dared to mention them.

Even in such a situation, when the word "Mei Fei" was mentioned, the head chamberlain couldn't help but feel his heart move and his tongue was tied.

Knowing that he didn't dare to mention those two words, the emperor sighed and glared at him, "You are the only one who is careful, I have already mentioned it, why don't you dare."

The head chamberlain calmed down his mood more and more, "Is there something fishy about Concubine Mei?"

The emperor sighed and said: "Back then, when the queen took advantage of my absence, she pinned the label of treason on Concubine Mei, tortured her and forced her to confess. I know all this, but today Concubine Tong is with me. It is said that at that time, Concubine Mei was just less than two months pregnant, and the queen was afraid that Concubine Mei would give birth to a prince again and take away her status, so she took this murderous step."

When the chamberlain heard this, he was immediately shocked, "Mei Fei is pregnant? I had never heard of it back then!"

The emperor smiled bitterly, with regret on his face, "I just learned that Concubine Tong said that the reason why Concubine Mei kept hiding it was because she was afraid that the queen would not be able to tolerate it. She wanted to wait until the month was older and the child was stable, then we could talk about it. It’s not too late, but still…”

"I have always known that what happened back then was because I was young and energetic and impulsive. Thinking about it later, there were too many strange things about that incident..." As he spoke, the emperor's tone was full of sadness, " But there is no point in regretting. Concubine Mei, Xiao Yan, even Shandong Rizhao, and the entire Mei family, have all been wiped out from this world because of my stubbornness that I would rather kill by mistake than let go."

Listening to the emperor's tone, the chamberlain's eyes moved slightly, and he tilted his head slightly, with a thoughtful and guessing tone, "But what secrets did Concubine Tong say?"

The emperor sighed, and the grief on his face was like a cloud that covered the sky and covered the sky. Under the cloud, a storm that was about to burst was wrapped.

"Concubine Tong said that before the queen launched her attack, Concubine Mei came to her and told her that she accidentally discovered a secret of the queen, and the queen seemed to know it. She was afraid that the queen would use the power of the palace while I was away. .”

The chief chamberlain frowned and said something to the emperor. Looking at the emperor's heartbroken look, the chamberlain considered: "What does Concubine Mei mean, is she discovered what the Queen and the British Duke were planning in the secret forest back then?"

The emperor nodded bitterly, "Yes. It's a pity that no matter how smart and premonitory she is, she still can't escape the despotic power of the queen. I gave the queen the power of the palace, and she used this power to kill the one I love most. woman, to cover up her ulterior ugliness!"

Speaking of the Queen, the Emperor's eyes widened in anger and he gnashed his teeth. If the Queen were right in front of him, the Emperor would look like he would bite her neck off.

The head servant was puzzled, "I don't understand, the closest person to Concubine Mei in the palace was Concubine Hui, her words were confidential, why didn't she tell Concubine Hui, but Concubine Tong The Empress. Also, with the favor that Concubine Mei received at that time, she could have informed His Majesty directly about the matter, but why..."

When the emperor heard this, he sighed helplessly.

"Have you forgotten? At that time, the Queen Mother lingered on her sickbed and moved to the Xishan Palace to rest. Concubine Hui was kissed by the Queen Mother because of her friendship with Su Yan, and she accompanied her to the Xishan Palace to serve her. If the Queen Mother was not in the palace, even if In my absence, the Queen will never dare to torture Concubine Mei without authorization."

To this day, the Emperor can still think of Concubine Mei's face being beaten beyond recognition by the Queen, and her hands and feet were all broken, and his heart shuddered.

"In the final analysis, I was the one who harmed Concubine Mei! If I hadn't understood the Queen's true face and mistakenly mistook the evil spirit for a beloved person, how could I have caused the entire Mei family to end badly! If Concubine Mei had known about it, I'm afraid she would have hated her a long time ago. I, how will I face Concubine Mei, Xiao Yan, and the whole Mei family in the future under the Nine Springs!"

Seeing that the emperor was in agony, the chamberlain hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, how can you be blamed for this matter? If I am to blame, it is the Queen who is so cruel and ruthless, and the British Duke is so cunning. If they had not taken advantage of His Majesty's affectionate and righteous heart, How could there be those later ones?”

After speaking, his tone paused for a moment, and the head chamberlain continued: "It's just that, even so, it doesn't mean that the Mei family is indeed innocent..."

"Whether the Mei family is innocent or not, I have been very clear in my heart over the years... What I lack is just a reason to convince myself... And this reason, I never expected that it would be like this! The Queen, actually for If we attack Concubine Mei, at that time, Concubine Mei will still have my own flesh and blood in her belly!"
