Chapter 122

Gu Ye's body was leaning forward slightly leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes, like a wild beast, grasped the trembling figure of Po Wen, and did not let go, "Tell me, what was the birth of the imperial concubine Ming that day? Female?"

The spearhead was approaching, and Wen Po didn't dare to look down, her throat was blocked by fear, as if someone was stuck, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"Say!" The emperor was furious, and he slapped the table in front of him, only to hear a 'pop', the strong sandalwood was shaken to pieces, and impacted towards the scattered crowd around him.

His eyes were bloodshot, and the hand on his right knee was injured by the palm just now. Big drops of scarlet flowed continuously down the bright yellow robe corner, staining most of the hem of the clothes red.

The sleeping child was startled awake, grinning and crying.

"Let me hear one more sentence, I will crush him!"

The veins on the emperor's forehead were tense, his resolute chin was sullen, and the black hair scattered behind him was wild and evil. The nun was so frightened that she couldn't stay out of her mind, and in a hurry, she quickly covered the child's mouth with her hand.

The tearing cry has now turned into a dull and depressing voice. Although the voice is no longer sharp, it is even more shocking to listen to.

Kneeling Wenpo was hit on the forehead by the smashed sandalwood, blood poured out instantly, and she was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, unable to move, "The emperor spares my life... I dare not hide it, my servant... To tell the truth, Emperor Ming What the noble concubine gave birth that day was... a princess."

Concubine Feng looked sideways, the emperor's originally firm upper body suddenly relaxed after hearing her words, and the whole person fell back, lying on the back of the chair.

In the hall, there is only the faint sound of candlelight jumping, and the breath is suffocating, as if sinking to the bottom of the sea, a feeling of overdraft and powerlessness.

Concubine Feng opened her mouth, and finally sat upright after seeing Gu Yezi's closed eyes.

After a long silence, the two kneeling women were covered in cold sweat. The imperial concubine Ming slumped on the ground, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces sitting next to her were obviously about to lose patience. With a calm face, he patted the back of her hand a few times with his palm, signaling her to comfort her.

"My princess, where is she?" Gu Yezi's voice was hoarse, Feng Fei looked back, only to see his thick eyelashes fluttering a few times, and finally opened his eyes.The evasive fear in the words made her feel uneasy and panicked.

She knew that it would take a lot of courage to ask such a sentence. He wished that this matter had nothing to do with the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces, so that at least his child could still have hope of surviving.

Wen Po's entire face was covered with blood stains on her forehead, her hands were grasping the smooth ground, which could be vaguely seen, that reflected old face was full of panic and despair, "Back, back to the emperor... little princess, a... Born and died."

Gu Yezi's eyelids sank, and those usually sharp eyes were hidden again.

The emperor's heart is too heavy now, but Concubine Feng Yue, who is watching, is much calmer, "Then, where did this little prince come from?"

Her voice was strong, with a majesty that could not be ignored. Although her face was so young and beautiful, it made the two kneeling below bend their waists and could not help but prostrate.

"What I said is not wrong, you brought it into the palace, didn't you?" She stretched out her hand and pointed at the woman kneeling beside Granny Wen.The man's eyes flickered, he faltered a few times, and had no choice but to kowtow in response, "Hui Niangniang, she is a woman."

"Well, I ask you, where did you bring this child?" Feng Feiyue stood up, stepping on the broken sandalwood with both feet. Seeing her get up, the woman knocked her knees to the ground and backed away in fear. After a few steps.

"Hui Niangniang, it's a commoner's wife, and the commoner's wife brought her here from outside the palace."

"Who asked you to carry it?" Feng Feiyue pressed on step by step, lifted the hem of the skirt with both hands, and stepped forward in a leisurely manner.

The woman suddenly lost her voice, but her eyes unconsciously glanced at the two empress dowagers who were sitting upright. Imperial Concubine Ming sneered, "You are telling the truth, tell me."

The sharp and piercing voice made the timid woman shrink into a ball even more. Concubine Feng Yue looked at the two of them keenly, "Don't you say so?"

The woman's voice trembled, and beside her, Mrs. Wen was lying on the ground motionless, her bowl-sized scar was shocking, "I said, I said, yes..." She turned her head and looked among the three of them after deliberating, Finally, it landed on the woman next to her, "Yes, it's Emperor Ming."

The Eastern Empress Dowager's expression was greatly moved, and she let out a heavy breath with a tense breath.On the other hand, the Empress Dowager beside her was calm and composed, as if she was in control.

Imperial Concubine Ming was extremely astonished. In her eyes, there were too many expressions mixed in, complicated and unbelievable. It was only for a moment, but it subsided. The bottom of the turbulent pool was still, like a cold layer covered with ice and snow.She opened the corners of her lips and laughed wantonly and bitterly. Her voice was choked in her throat and chest, and the accumulated hatred almost tore her whole body apart.She should have thought a long time ago, how could the empress dowagers of the two palaces not leave a way out for her, just like her elder sister, they have no use value, so how much are they worth when weighing power and family affection?

"Haha...hahaha..."

Laughter, like the cold wind in the twelfth lunar month piercing into everyone's eardrums, the empress dowager's eyes were cold, and the sarcasm drawn on the corners of her lips shattered the last hope in the eyes of imperial concubine Ming.Looking up, the Zunwang who was once the person next to him was looking at him with grief, indignation and disgust, "Well said, well said..."

"Auntie, I thought that one day I would be able to sit in a high seat like you, but I was wrong." The imperial concubine Ming stood up, and calmly wiped the dust from her knees with both hands, "You are so cruel, I can't wait." In the end, no matter how many calculations are made, all of this is already a well-established chess game. If I refuse to accept, no matter how much I try to break through your shackles, in the end, it will only end in vain. "

The Empress Dowager Xi pursed her lips, but she seemed to be watching a good show. There was brewed tea on the table. Her movements were elegant and noble. After holding it in her hand, she took a sip.

Concubine Feng saw it in her eyes, but at this moment, just like her, she felt a deep sense of frustration.The empress dowagers of the two palaces clearly abandoned the chess piece of imperial concubine Ming, cut off their wrists in pain, and put themselves safely out of the matter.Jun Xiangye obviously found the two of them first, but which step went wrong?

"I want to listen to the truth, can you bear the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

The woman was terrified, and even though she was afraid, her confession remained unchanged, "The women don't dare, it's the imperial concubine Ming's order, if the empress doesn't believe it, that stable woman can testify."

The two insisted that all the blame was placed on her. Concubine Feng saw that the empress dowagers of the two palaces were determined and calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Imperial concubine Ming stood in the middle of the hall, her back was lonely, she was alone, "Don't you want the truth? Why don't you just tell it all at once? The queen mothers of the two palaces are worthy of step by step. Do you really think that I don't know how my sister died? That day, she was possessed by a flower gu, and because she didn't listen to you, you two temptresses chose to attack her on the day the queen entered the palace. My sister was strangled to death and then hung in the cold palace. It's not that I secretly bribed a few palace servants, now, I'm afraid I can't even find her corpse..."

"Enough!" The Empress Dowager threw the teacup on the table heavily, "Emperor, are you going to let this lunatic mess around?"

"I'm a lunatic, haha, I'm a lunatic..." Imperial Concubine Ming cupped her face in both hands, and suddenly burst into tears, "If I wasn't a lunatic, why would I watch you strangle my own flesh and blood to death? It's all my fault at the time. Cowardly, my child, my child... Your Majesty, the little princess did not die at birth, but was strangled to death by this temptress. Pity my child, mother only heard your first cry, I will never see you again..."

Imperial Concubine Ming spoke incoherently, with her hands raised in the air, "I watched her small body curled up on that table, and the Empress Dowager's body blocked me, and I saw...a leg...and my child, she I'm crying, by the way, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you haven't seen her yet..."

Concubine Feng Yue suddenly felt a throbbing pain in her stomach, she staggered back, holding a pair of strong hands on her waist.

Looking back, I saw the emperor standing behind me, this scene, how like a few months ago...

A cry of a baby tore away the depression of anxious waiting, Gu Yeju and Feng Feiyue looked at each other, and held their hands firmly together.

The nervousness at that time, the anticipation at that time, what was waiting was just the child's last cry...

It turns out that there is only one door away, why is it so far away, but it is a parting between life and death, the words of Imperial Concubine Ming are definitely not crazy words, she believed it, and Gu Yezi also believed it.But...they had nothing to do, leaving them deeply helpless.

The Empress Dowager Xi looked at the emperor's face, she chuckled lightly, stinging people's hearts, "Isn't the emperor really believing such crazy words?"

Imperial Concubine Ming's expression was in a trance. After touching the smile on the corner of her mouth, a fierce light suddenly appeared in her eyes. She strode forward, approaching the Queen Mother, "Give me back the child..."

The Empress Dowager West looked calm, when she saw her rushing forward, the guards on the side came out in an instant, and Imperial Concubine Ming was restrained several times.

"Let go of her!"

The emperor suddenly issued an order, and as several people let go, she staggered a few times with collapsed weakness, and crashed into the arms of Gu Yezi behind her.

Imperial Concubine Ming turned around, and the sudden grief made her unable to hold back her arms around his muscular waist. She was ready to be pushed away by Gu Ye, but the moment her head rested on his chest, her hands and her whole body were crushed. He rushes in.Surprised, dazed, full of emotions, filled with her intricate emotions.This, although it was a light hug, was the closest time between them.

"If you could have given me such a hug earlier, maybe we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today." Imperial Concubine Ming knew that it was too late, and the reason for the emperor's actions was the tragic death of her own flesh and blood. After all, that child It belongs to both of them.

Before he could push herself away, the woman stepped back sadly, with half of her hair covering her pale face, "Sister and I, we are slaves to tigers, and death is not a pity, Your Majesty, please remember to give us Avenge your child, avenge him!"
