Over the years, he has been numbing himself with such reasons, and there are times when he is shaken.
"Your Majesty, don't you think about this? If Concubine Dong really loves you, why would she kill your child? Last time, Akai almost lost his life. It was Concubine Dong's doing. Someone who truly loves you would not want to see you sad."
The queen spoke softly, but she spoke from her heart. Over the years, she had been struggling in the harem relying on her feelings for Murong Zheng, and those lovely children were her bottom line. She felt it was her mission to protect his children and make him feel at ease.
"The person she loves is me. She may not be able to love the whole house as well as the people in it." Murong Zheng explained. In fact, when he said this, he felt justified. Not only did Concubine Dong fail to love the whole house as well as the people in it, she didn't even love her own house. She only loved herself.
"How far will Your Majesty continue to deceive himself? Concubine Jin and I came here today because we want to show you something." The Queen spoke softly and slowly walked up to Concubine Jin.
She suddenly raised her hand and tore open Concubine Jin's clothes, revealing the sword wound on her heart.
The emperor was stunned when he saw the wound. He didn't expect that Concubine Jin had...
Without waiting for Murong Zheng to speak, the Queen asked Concubine Jin to turn around. She had the same scar on the same position on her chest. Upon closer inspection, it was a penetrating wound, from the chest to the back.
He didn't know that Concubine Jin had been injured before, and that it was in the heart.
He looked at the pink scar and suddenly panicked. He struggled to get out of bed to take a closer look, but his body was so weak that he could only lean forward to look...
"Your Majesty, you don't need to come down and take a closer look. Back then, it was Concubine Jin who threw herself in front of you and blocked the sword for you. The sword pierced through your chest and back and stabbed into your body."
The Queen spoke calmly, but her voice was trembling as she spoke.
The assassin really wanted to kill Murong Zheng back then. If Concubine Jin hadn't used her body as a buffer, Murong Zheng would have died long ago.
Murong Zheng looked at Concubine Jin who had a calm face, and shock flashed across his calm face. He looked at the wound on Concubine Jin's heart and wanted to speak, but his lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't utter a word.
"Your Majesty, you won't doubt the authenticity of this injury now, right? The Empress Dowager said that if Concubine Jin's heart had not been in a different position from others, she would have died at that time." The Queen spoke slowly, but easily aroused the guilt and regret in Murong Zheng's heart. When her life was hanging by a thread, he was also unconscious. When he woke up, Dong, who had injured her ribs, was lying beside his bed, saying that she had saved him.
From then on, he neglected Concubine Jin, the Queen, and all the concubines in the palace, and only favored one person.
When he was devoting his true heart to Dong, Concubine Jin was still on the verge of life and death. He didn't even know that Concubine Jin was injured. He even thought at one point that Concubine Jin never came to visit him during his recovery because she didn't have him in her heart.
Just like when an assassin appeared in Concubine Jin's palace, it was not Concubine Jin who came out to block the sword for him, but a little maid named Dong. He determined this result and concluded that Concubine Jin did not love him, and then, because of this conclusion, Concubine Jin was ignored.
"If Your Majesty doubts what I said, you can call the people from Concubine Jin's palace, as well as the imperial physician at that time. After Dong claimed the credit for Concubine Jin, the Queen Mother ordered them to keep their mouths shut for the sake of the country and the people of the Great Zhou. But if Your Majesty wants to ask, I believe someone will tell you the truth."
Murong Zheng didn't say anything. He just looked at Concubine Jin. Looking at her calm eyes, his heart suddenly became confused.
At the moment when he saw the wounds on Concubine Jin's body, why did he need evidence
The assassin's sword was coming towards him. Although he was half asleep, he knew that the assassin's sword was stabbing the chest of the woman in his arms. But later, Dong lied and he thought he was half asleep. He didn't expect that Dong would take credit for it...
And I, over the years, have actually...
