Zhao Yong didn't take another look, and raised his foot to leave here.
"Father!" Zhao Lan called to stop him unwillingly, "Zhao Rao killed my mother and concubine in front of you, so...is that the way to go?"
After so many years, even if her concubine mother was sorry to the first queen, but Zhao Rao has bullied her concubine for so many years, when did concubine mother fight back? She has also been poisoned for several years, why should the concubine pay her life, but Zhao Rao can still be her eldest princess.
Zhao Yong looked down at Zhao Lan indifferently, "Then what do you want?"
"Even if Concubine Mother has done something wrong, Emperor Father has already been convicted, why should Zhao Rao kill her?" Zhao Lan suppressed her grief. Others could blame Concubine De, but she couldn't. Concubine Mother did so many things for them. If she can't seek justice for the death of the concubine mother, the concubine mother will definitely die with peace.
"I haven't convicted her yet." Zhao Yong said coldly, "For what your concubine mother has done, I would not let her die a hundred times. Do you know what crime it is to poison my heir?"
Zhao Lan's face turned pale, she thought that the emperor father had at least a little affection for the concubine mother...
"Lan Er, why do you think Rao Er killed your concubine mother?" Zhao Yong asked in a low voice.
"Father has always only favored the eldest princess..." Zhao Lan lowered her head, feeling uncontrollable grievance and anger in her heart.
Zhao Yong raised his eyes lightly, "So what? Compared to my eccentricity, Rao'er would rather have her queen mother still by her side."
"Father..." Zhao Lan was not reconciled.
"That's enough, father and concubine have shown affection towards mother and concubine, don't say any more." The second prince stopped Zhao Lan.
Zhao Yong glanced at them, "You all go back, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs report the sudden death of Concubine De."
What happened here has nothing to do with Zhao Rao now, she was carried by Cheng Zheng and walked towards her palace.
Zhao Rao's hands were still trembling. For so many years, she didn't have to rely on other people's protection to survive in the palace, but she never killed anyone with her own hands. Today she killed Concubine De with her own hands, and now her hands are still there. Shaking, she wasn't afraid, but she just couldn't calm down.
"Concubine De is a capital crime. The emperor won't blame you." Cheng Zheng noticed that the girl in his arms was still afraid, and he sighed distressedly. After all, it was a little girl. Her aura of killing Concubine De had long since disappeared. It became... the frail and frightened look when she just lost her first queen.
"I don't want to stay in the palace." Zhao Rao said softly.
Cheng Zheng was stunned for a moment, then looked down at her, "Then follow me out of the palace."
She doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, Concubine De is dead, her mother's vengeance has been avenged, she has no reason to stay, this place is full of repressed memories for her, if possible, she would rather never come back here up.
"Regret?" After getting into the carriage, Cheng Zheng still didn't let her go, but let Zhao Rao sit in his arms, looking down at her still pale face, he had never seen her like this before.
Zhao Rao said in a low voice, "I don't regret it."
If she doesn't do anything, the father will save Concubine De's life because of the second prince. In the future, it will be fine if the first prince ascends the throne, but if the second prince ascends the throne, she will watch Concubine De become the empress dowager. She can't do anything .
It would be better if she killed her with her own hands! No matter what happens later, she will not regret not killing her today.
Cheng Zheng rubbed her head, "If you don't kill her, I won't let her live."
Zhao Rao buried her face in his arms, "My mother..."
She had just opened her mouth, and her voice was already choked up.
What did the mother do wrong? She just wanted to win the heart of her father. Not only was her father cold and ruthless, but she also broke her mother's heart time and time again. Here, the person she trusts the most is Concubine De.
Even at this time, what the father thinks about is still his country and society, if he doesn't kill Concubine De, what he thinks about is the second prince, no matter when, he will never think about her feelings.
Mother, I finally avenged you.
Zhao Rao let out a sob, and finally couldn't help crying in Cheng Zheng's arms.
Her tears have been held back for too long.
"Be good." Cheng Zheng stroked her back lightly, making her cry in his arms.
Zhao Rao cried for a long time, all the way back to Cheng's house, she was still sobbing in Cheng Zheng's arms, her big eyes were so swollen that only a line remained.
When the servants of the Cheng family saw Cheng Zheng get out of the car with a girl in his arms, everyone had different expressions on their faces.
The woman in Lord Hou's arms...how does she look like a big princess.
Although the eldest princess is Lord Hou's niece, is she too close
Cheng Zheng turned a blind eye to the scrutinizing eyes of these servants, and walked towards his yard with Zhao Rao in his arms.
"Furong, go fetch water." Cheng Zheng carried her into the house, put her on the bed, and ordered his maid to fetch water to wash her face.
"Yes, Lord Hou." Furong is Cheng Zheng's eldest maid, she has long known Cheng Zheng's strange feelings for the eldest princess, she was shocked at first, but thinking that Lord Hou has always been unrestrained, she will take a fancy to her There is nothing strange about the niece, after all, the eldest princess has no blood relationship with him.
Zhao Rao cried for a long time, finally calmed down slowly, looked at Cheng Zheng with eyes swollen into walnuts, and asked hoarsely, "What is this place?"
"You don't remember so soon?" Cheng Zheng asked with a smile, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, "Look at you crying all my clothes like this, you can cry so well."
"That's how I am." Zhao Rao shouted, finally remembering where this place is, "Why did you bring me here?"
Cheng Zheng saw that after she cried, she lost her previous indifference and irritation, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like a distressed little girl, "You said you didn't want to stay in the palace, so you brought you back. "
"Then you should send me to the guest room." Zhao Rao shouted, he was not afraid of others' comments.
"It's fine here." Cheng Zheng said with a smile.
Fu Rong poured the hot water in, she glanced at Zhao Rao, and lowered her eyes.
Cheng Zheng wrung the handkerchief and wiped her face, "I didn't sleep last night, well, sleep well here, and everything will be over when I wake up."
"I don't want to go back to the palace anymore." Zhao Rao said in a low voice.
"Okay." Cheng Zheng's thin lips curled up, he wished she would say that, "You can stay here as long as you like."
Zhao Rao held his hand and finally fell asleep peacefully, "You are here, don't go."
Cheng Zheng felt soft and sore in his heart, he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek, "I won't leave, I will always be with you."
She closed her eyes and soon fell into a dark dream.
