Chapter 274 Killing Concubine Jing with My Own Hands
Chapter 274 Killing Concubine Jing with My Own Hands
He had been through too much today. First, his daughter hated him, and now she told him that Concubine Jing was a princess from the previous dynasty and that she only approached him for revenge. How could she accept this?!
"Your Majesty, look."
The queen stepped forward and laid out the evidence in front of the emperor one by one.
"What are these?"
The Queen explained, "A while ago, an expert predicted that Qing Wan and Qing Yin would suffer a bloody disaster, saying that they would be murdered by treacherous people."
"I was so worried that I set up a trap to uncover the murderer, but I accidentally discovered Concubine Jing's secret."
"This Buddhist bead was given to me by that great master. It can record the voice of the wearer."
"These two are worn by the maids Shaoyao and He Fang in Concubine Jing's palace."
As the Queen spoke, she pressed a switch and the recorder began to make a sound, which was a conversation between the two of them.
The emperor was shocked and surprised to see that the two ordinary beads could actually make human sounds.
"It was only after I overheard their conversation that I realized Concubine Jing must have a secret, so I sought help from an expert."
"The master has given me another magic weapon that can not only record sounds but also images of people."
The Queen turned on the video recorder again as she spoke. It played a video of Concubine Jing smearing blood on her face in front of the camera, and then her skin wrinkled, and she actually tore off a human skin mask from her face.
The face under the human skin is also beautiful, but it is completely different from Concubine Jing's, and it is abnormally white. It may be because the skin has been covered for a long time, so it looks very unhealthy.
"After I discovered this secret, I couldn't alert the enemy. I was afraid that she would become desperate and harm Your Majesty. I was also afraid that you would not believe me and think that I was deliberately framing her."
"After all, this woman is good at charming people."
"In order to find out her true identity, I went to great lengths to find this portrait."
"This is a portrait of the empress of the previous dynasty. She looks about 70% similar to this woman."
The emperor looked at the portrait and had the human skin mask on Concubine Jing's face peeled off. The pale face was indeed very similar to the portrait.
Concubine Jing looked at a loss. After years of planning, was it going to fail?
"No, that's not the case."
"It is the Queen who is wrongly accusing me. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."
The queen angrily retorted: "Unjust?"
"How have I wronged you? How capable am I to change your face?"
"But you, you have been fooling the emperor for twenty years with a fake face. You are really capable."
"I have already sent people to arrest your adulterer. You want to confuse the royal bloodline, want Chu Zhongyuan to overthrow the court and revive the Great Zhou? Dream on."
The emperor could hardly stand when he heard the queen's words, and looked deeply shocked.
What did the Queen mean?
Could it be... Could it be that Yuan'er is not his biological child?
Concubine Jing was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her slender fingertips trembled as she pointed at the Queen: "You...you vicious woman, you are slandering me!"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to this bitch. Yuan'er is your child. It's absolutely true, absolutely genuine."
"Don't doubt Yuan'er, Yuan'er is really your child."
The Emperor stared at Concubine Jing's unfamiliar face, unable to muster any sympathy. "How can I trust you?"
Concubine Jing was speechless and didn't know how to explain.
At this time, the dying Jin Mudan spoke again: "Mother, don't beg him. His heart is made of stone. He won't soften his heart."
"He already has doubts about his brother. Even if he is his biological son, he will not pass the throne to him."
"What's more, the emperor's brother is not his child."
"He is the thief who stole our Great Zhou Kingdom. How could you, as a princess of the Great Zhou Kingdom, bear him a child?"
Concubine Jing roared, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Mother, stop struggling. It's better for you to go with your daughter than to be humiliated and tortured by this tyrant."
"He'er, don't talk nonsense. You and your brother are both the emperor's children."
"It is not a pity for my mother to die, but your identities cannot be questioned."
Jin Mudan acted as if she was indifferent to life and death: "Mother, I heard everything you said to that person behind the rockery that day."
"You said that you and your brother were conceived on the night of the Lantern Festival twenty-five years ago."
Concubine Jing widened her eyes. It turned out that the person eavesdropping that day was not Mo Lingchen, but her daughter.
Concubine Jing regretted it deeply. If she had not used some tricks to force Mo Lingchen to go to war, what happened today would not have happened.
But Yuan'er is really her child with the emperor. If she wants to restore the country, she must let Yuan'er ascend the throne.
Isn't giving birth to someone else's child a way to death?
How could she make such a low-level mistake and why would she leave herself with a fatal handle?
She really regretted it. She said those words herself, and even He'er believed them, not to mention the emperor.
"That's not the case. Mother lied to him so that he could help your brother deal with the Crown Prince."
"Your royal brother is really the emperor's child."
Tears streamed down Jin Mudan's eyes: "It doesn't matter whose child the emperor is. He has already lost."
"Mother, we failed."
"Mother, this is all my fault. If I hadn't been so willful, what happened today wouldn't have happened."
"Mother, please don't live in pain anymore. Come with me."
As Jin Mudan spoke, she used all her strength to pierce the hairpin into Concubine Jing's heart.
"He'er, you...you..."
"You are not He'er, who are you?" Concubine Jing stared at Chu Qinghe with horror.
Jin Mudan looked at her and said, "Mother, of course I am your daughter, but you shouldn't let my husband fight in a war, let alone cut off his life."
"You made these by passing off reeds as cotton and mixing sand and gravel into rice?"
Concubine Jing's eyes widened, her chest heaving with anger: "You...how dare you kill your own mother for a man?"
"Mother, I don't want to do this, but I love him too much. I won't let anyone hurt him."
"I'm sorry, I'll die for you."
As Jin Mudan spoke, she pulled out another hairpin and stabbed it into her chest.
"don't want!!!"
"He'er... He'er..." Concubine Jing burst into tears, and the mother and daughter fell in a pool of blood together.
The queen looked at the two dead people for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. Could it be that what Jiaojiao said was true?
Is it true that resurrection through possession of a corpse exists in this world?
Otherwise, how can we explain Chu Qinghe's strange behavior today?
She actually killed Concubine Jing with her own hands?
The Queen reacted and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to call the imperial physician?"
The emperor stood there expressionlessly, silent for a long time before shouting to the outside of the door, "Wei Zhong, summon Chu Zhongyuan to the palace. You go in person."
"Yes."
After that, the emperor said nothing, and the queen didn't dare to say a word, let alone check whether Concubine Jing was dead or alive.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Wei Zhong came in breathlessly, "Your Majesty, the prince is missing and can't be found anywhere."
The emperor's face turned ashen, and the powerful aura around him made it hard to breathe.
"Her body was hung on the walls of Mobei City. This is the consequence of falsely conveying the imperial edict."
“Ah… yes… yes yes!”
"Old slave, let's do it now!"
