Concubine De knew she couldn't hide it, even if she wanted to make an excuse, she couldn't find a reason to justify it.
She could only plead guilty and tell everything.
It was she who put the anti-infective medicine in the hair oil and saponins of Queen Xian. It doesn't matter if the medicine is used on ordinary people, but it can be used on pregnant women. It will cause miscarriage. At that time, she just wanted the queen to have a miscarriage first. Who knew that the first queen would bleed profusely due to a miscarriage, and in the end she could not even save her life.
Without Cheng Ying, Concubine De thought she could get more attention from the emperor, but found that Zhao Yong seemed to have forgotten her and kept doting on other women. She seemed to have entered a magic barrier, thinking that there were no other women. Yong will notice her, who knows... She is only disappointed again and again, and when she wakes up, she has done too many wrong things.
Concubine De told what she had done, she didn't dare to look up at Zhao Yong, she didn't dare to think about what would happen to her next.
She thought that these things could be hidden for a lifetime!
As long as her son becomes the new king, all her worries and fears will disappear, but Zhao Yong found out all the truth before the second prince ascended the throne.
"... Your majesty, all this was done by the concubine alone. The second prince was young at the time and they didn't know anything. I beg the emperor to punish the concubine alone, and don't implicate the second prince and the third princess." Concubine De said to Zhao Yong. .
Although Zhao Yong already knew the truth, but after receiving the confirmation from Concubine De, the anger in his heart still surged up, "Damn you!"
He is really not as good as a child. Back then, even Rao'er realized that there was something wrong with Cheng Ying's death. He even conceited that the harem was under his control, and no one would dare to kill the queen under his nose. Regardless of how afraid Rao'er was of being alone, who had just lost her mother, she was sent to the Cheng family...
For so many years, Rao'er resented him and hated him for a reason.
"Father, although mother and concubine did something wrong, all she did was for us. I beg father to see that she is only loving her son and is eager to spare mother and concubine's life." Zhao Lan knelt down and cried to Zhao Yong pleaded.
The second prince followed and knelt down, "Please forgive my mother and concubine for a while."
Zhao Lan and the second prince knew that it was impossible to argue against Concubine De's innocence, so they could only beg Zhao Yong to save Concubine De's life, so that they would have a chance to save Concubine De in the future.
Seeing the two children kept kowtow, Zhao Yong sighed softly in his heart, if he killed Concubine De, these two children might also have resentment towards him, unexpectedly Zhao Yong has made many achievements in battle, and he can be regarded as a generation of Mingjun in Qi State However, his children will eventually blame him and hate him.
"I won't kill you..." Zhao Yong looked down at Concubine De, sometimes death is a relief.
Zhao Rao looked at Zhao Yong suddenly, she stared at him in disbelief, and asked sharply with a choked voice, "You give her a chance to admit her mistake, who will give my mother a chance to come back to life? What did my mother do wrong to be killed? "
"Zhao Rao, what exactly do you want?" Zhao Lan's joy hadn't surged yet, when she heard Zhao Rao speak, she yelled again in shock.
"I don't want to do anything." Zhao Rao looked down at Concubine De. Over the years, she had hoped for the truth thousands of times. Now she knew it, and she also knew that keeping Concubine De was a torture to her. However, she also I will not forget that this woman also has a son, "You go to see my mother, if she forgives you, you can come back."
"Rao'er..." Zhao Yong frowned, "I will set her up and give your mother an explanation."
"My mother doesn't need you to do anything for her." Zhao Rao didn't even look at Zhao Yong. "For my mother, the last thing I want is you to do anything for her."
Concubine De didn't want to die, she still wanted to be the Empress Dowager, seeing Zhao Rao's murderous eyes, her face changed, "Princess, what do you want to do?"
"I said before that the person you are sorry for is the queen mother. It is meaningless for other people to let you go. Only when my mother forgives you can you live." Zhao Rao squatted in front of Concubine De, with a smile on her bright face. It was chilling to the bottom of my heart, "So, go and ask my mother, she will forgive you, and I will let you go."
"You..." Concubine De stared wide-eyed in horror, before she could finish her words, she stopped silent.
At some point, Zhao Rao held a gold hairpin in her hand and inserted it straight into Concubine De's neck. Blood spurted out, and her dress and hands were instantly stained red.
"Mother Concubine..." Zhao Lan let out a shrill scream.
The second prince's eyes were red with anger, and he was about to hit Zhao Rao with his hand.
Cheng Zheng kicked him away, hugged Zhao Rao tightly in his arms, buried her head in his chest, and comforted her in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, Rao'er."
Zhao Lan threw herself on Concubine De, trying to press the wound with both hands, but the blood kept gushing out, Concubine De opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't utter a word.
She didn't want to die so soon...
"Imperial doctor, call for the imperial doctor!" The second prince yelled like crazy.
Zhao Yong was still sitting in the same position, his eyes fell on Zhao Rao, she curled up silently in Cheng Zheng's arms, her shoulders were shaking slightly, but because of Cheng Zheng's presence, she seemed to have support .
He has killed countless people in his life, and he has seen all kinds of bloody scenes, but none of them shocked him when he witnessed his daughter's murder today.
How much hatred is hidden in Rao'er's heart...
Has she been holding back all these years and can't bear it anymore
"Your Majesty, I will take the Eldest Princess back first." Cheng Zheng said to Zhao Yong in a low voice.
Zhao Yong glanced at his daughter, after she killed Concubine De, she didn't speak again, "Take her down."
Zhao Rao leaned her head on Cheng Zheng's shoulder, and the hatred that had supported her for so many years was finally rewarded. She felt relieved all of a sudden, and now she didn't want to say anything, but she was glad that Cheng Zheng was by her side, so that she wouldn't make her more helpless.
"Zhao Rao!" The second prince looked at the back of them leaving with hatred, and vowed in his heart that he would never let them go in the future.
"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..." Zhao Lan couldn't care about anything else now, she just wanted to save Concubine De.
The imperial doctor arrived soon, and saw that Concubine De had a gold hairpin stuck in her neck, and her whole body was covered in blood. He was shocked, hurried over to feel the pulse, and shook his head with a heavy face, "Your Majesty, Concubine De is no longer breathing. .”
"No...no... imperial doctor, my concubine mother will not die, you save her, save her quickly." Zhao Lan screamed.
The gold hairpin directly broke the artery in her neck, and there is no way De Concubine can be saved, Zhao Yong glanced at it lightly, "Your concubine mother deserved what she deserved, for your sake, her evidence of guilt will not be released .”
Zhao Lan hugged Concubine De and cried loudly.
The second prince knelt down, "Thank you, Father."
