The wicked imperial concubine is courting death again; the comments section teaches her how to win w

Xie Changqing was furious. "How dare you ask!"

This matter concerns the Dragon Descendants, and it certainly cannot be kept secret.

Once the news gets out, everyone in the world will know that Prince Gong and Consort Li have secretly conceived a child, and the Emperor's beautiful brother has become a cuckold.

The emperor's reputation, built up over so many years, was ruined in an instant, which was fatal for a brother-obsessed person.

Xie Changqing couldn't stand it any longer, and he didn't care about brotherly affection or respect. He kicked Xie Jingyu's broken leg directly.

Xie Jingyu groaned in pain, his knees slamming hard onto the ground, his expression contorted.

"Xie Changqing, what are you doing? I am your elder brother!"

"You dare to challenge me!" Xie Changqing practically pointed at his nose and cursed, spitting as he spoke. "As a prince, how dare you have an affair with the empress and concubines! You commit such an immoral act, Prince Gong! You deserve to die!"

[My younger brother is such a mouthpiece, he really got to rant and rave!]

Qi Yitang wanted to applaud Xie Changqing.

She never liked people acting arrogantly in front of her. Xie Changqing wasn't very respectful to her, his sister-in-law, and had even called her Bao Si and Da Ji before, helping Qin Lianyue catch her cheating. But Qi Yitang didn't dislike him that much.

Because Xie Changqing didn't target her specifically, but rather equally disliked everyone who offended his beloved elder brother.

At other times, things are pretty normal.

After being scolded by Xie Changqing, Xie Jingyu realized that things had been exposed. How could that be?

He clearly instructed Zhao Yan to clean up the area around Changchun Pavilion to ensure no one else could see it. Could it be that Xie Ling knew all along that he was the one who orchestrated the whole thing?

Realizing this, Xie Jingyu felt a chill run down his spine.

Before that, in the imperial court, Xie Ling deliberately... it wasn't a test at all, but a warning.

Now that things had come to this, there was no point in making excuses. Xie Jingyu tried to defend himself, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was drunk at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that day. After going outside and catching a chill, I felt dizzy and disoriented. To avoid being disrespectful in front of the Emperor, I thought I would go to the nearby Changchun Pavilion to rest for a while... Unexpectedly, a woman leaned in at me, not only tearing at my clothes but also pressing herself against me. I was caught off guard and..."

"I initially thought the woman was a palace maid from some palace, and I searched for her in secret without success... I never imagined she was Consort Li! I deserve to die!"

"But on that day, there was a strong aphrodisiac incense burning in Changchun Pavilion. I was forced to do it. I hope Your Majesty will investigate!"

This basically means that Qin Lianyue took the initiative to plan, and even burned incense to seduce the Prince of Gong in fear of failure, but she mistook the Prince of Gong for the Emperor, which led to the bitter consequences she has today.

In his words and actions, he tried to absolve himself of all responsibility, portraying himself as a victim.

The Empress Dowager looked tired and was too weak to say anything more.

The Emperor will surely investigate this matter thoroughly. The Qin family will be implicated, and my brother will also be punished.

Just thinking about the series of events that would follow... made the Empress Dowager feel her headaches getting worse.

Xie Ling asked, "Consort Li, is there anything you wish to say?"

Qin Lianyue sat slumped for a long time, watching Xie Jingyu open and close his mouth and splash all the dirty water over her, without crying or making a fuss.

What burned fiercely in her eyes was hatred!

She hated Xie Jingyu for taking away her innocence and for making her pregnant with this bastard child.

He was clearly conscious at the time. When she woke up, he was already on top of her and calling her "Tang'er" to mislead her into thinking he was her cousin, so she was willing to do it.

Tang'er?

Qin Lianyue suddenly realized that he had mistaken her for Qi Yitang.

He probably burned those aphrodisiac incense on purpose, just to take advantage of her vulnerability and humiliate Qi Yitang.

Unexpectedly, the drug she gave to her cousin ended up benefiting someone else, while Xie Jingyu's scheme came true for her.

She was still dreaming of becoming empress by marrying her son, but all her scheming backfired spectacularly.

"Hahahaha—" Qin Lianyue suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone was confused. Xie Changqing frowned. "What are you laughing at?"

Even at this point, how can you still laugh?

Qin Lianyue laughed maniacally, tears streaming down her face. She staggered to her feet, shouting, "What a noble and upright Prince Gong! You're nothing but a despicable hypocrite! Qi Yitang actually genuinely loved you? How utterly blind she was!"

Xie Changqing agreed with this point, saying that choosing Prince Gong over the Emperor was simply blind.

Qi Yitang: "..." If you're going to criticize Xie Jingyu, just criticize Xie Jingyu. Why drag her into it?

Her eyesight used to be poor, but it's back to normal now. Does that mean she won't allow people to change their ways and turn back from their misdeeds?

Qin Lianyue berated Xie Jingyu and Qi Yitang, then snatched the sword from Xie Changqing's hand, saying, "I am the daughter of the Grand General of Fuyuan, and a Noble Consort of the Emperor. How dare you slander me like this?"

"Prince Gong, you harbor wolfish ambitions and deceive the emperor; you deserve to die!"

The sword tip aimed straight at Xie Jingyu's chest. "To defile the imperial concubine is even more deserving of death—!"

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Xie Jingyu was kneeling on the ground, his broken leg preventing him from dodging.

When he looked down in astonishment, he saw a long sword stuck in his chest, and a hand was holding the hilt of the sword, belonging to the woman he had once despised and regarded as a pawn.

"you--"

Fresh blood gushed out from the sword groove, staining the pure white clothes red.

Xie Jingyu's expression was completely distorted, a mixture of shock, resentment, fear, and a sense of absurdity that only surfaced in his dying moments.

He was the emperor's most beloved prince, who had schemed and plotted for half his life, but in the end, he didn't die at Xie Ling's hands, but was instead killed by a woman he had never taken seriously.

She was nothing more than a bargaining chip for him to ascend the throne, how could that be...?

Xie Jingyu's lips moved, but before he could say anything, he felt his body go weak and he slumped to one side, unable to support himself.

At this moment, he could no longer maintain his kneeling position and fell heavily to the side. His crown fell to the ground, his black hair came loose, and he lay sadly in a pool of blood, looking extremely disheveled.

This was unexpected by everyone, and the palace servants were so frightened that they screamed repeatedly.

"Ah!" Some people covered their mouths, while others fell to the ground in fright.

Her pupils reflected that blinding red, and Qi Yitang's eyes widened in shock. Every invisible hair on her body stood on end. She subconsciously took a half step back, her stomach churning with an indescribable feeling of nausea or something else.

"Tangtang, don't look."

Soon, a warm, large hand covered her eyes, separating her from the pool of blood.
