Concubine Xu never expected that her dream of becoming the queen, her dream of loving the emperor, and her dream of bearing the emperor's child would be completely shattered into pieces when she woke up.
That handsome and wise man, I couldn't even touch his back. If it wasn't for revenge for the queen, he wouldn't even look at me, let alone pretend to be nice to me.
More importantly, the emperor actually drank the medicine she brought to the queen.
The Queen is dead, what about the Emperor
Thinking of his increasingly thin body, Concubine Xu felt even more pain in her heart. If she had previously been paranoid and hoped that everything was fake, now her heart was full of hatred. She hated the emperor's ruthlessness, and even more so, she hated the family members who gave her the medicine.
They really wanted to kill the Queen and even the Emperor.
They said it was for her own good, but in truth, how was she good? Before, she could still get a favored look from the emperor in the queen's palace, but now, the emperor hated her.
Everything has changed, and all these changes are because of...
The family she trusted and the father she depended on, but they shattered all her dreams. No, they not only shattered her dreams, they also destroyed everything she had.
"Go tell the emperor that I want to testify against the Xu family. They sold official positions and titles. They conspired with me to poison the queen. They also joined forces with the Zhen family to murder the princess."
Concubine Xu suddenly stood up from the ground and spoke firmly to the person in front of her.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I will convey your words to the Emperor."
"I want to see the emperor." This was Concubine Xu's last insistence. She wanted to see the emperor and tell him that she was unaware of all this. She hoped that the emperor would not blame her. Although she knew that this was a luxury, only by seeing the emperor would she have a chance of being forgiven.
"The emperor will not see you. If you have something to say, just say it. Regardless of your testimony or not, the Xu and Zhen families are finished."
After the man finished speaking, he turned and left. Concubine Xu did not expect that this would be the result. She still wanted to negotiate with him, but she didn't know that she was not even qualified to negotiate.
This time, not only Concubine Xu lost the right to negotiate, but members of the Xu and Zhen families all clamored to see the emperor. They boasted that they had made great contributions and that the emperor would show leniency to them, but they did not expect that the emperor would not even meet with them.
Instead of meeting the emperor, they received a pile of evidence.
These pieces of evidence were collected by Murong Kai on his way to the border. During the snowstorm in Yinzhou, Xu Jin's men and Zhen Yuandao's men also collected a lot of evidence.
The day after the pile of evidence was obtained, the emperor issued an edict in the court that the Xu and Zhen families were the most unforgivable and that all nine generations of their clans should be executed.
A court official mentioned Princess Jinxiu and asked the emperor how to arrange for her. Su Jing smiled and said, "Su Jinxiu is not a member of the royal family. The queen pitied her and her daughter and gave her honor. She has never been grateful and has no father-daughter relationship with me. This marriage was her own request. The Zhen family has also been good to her, so she should stay with the Zhen family."
"What about the baby in the princess' belly?"
"Let's wait until she gives birth before executing her."
However, the "child" in the belly would not be born. When the evidence of the Zhen family's crimes was sent to the prison, the Zhen family knew that their biggest crime was not their own army or collusion with the Xu family, but Zhen Junran's intention to do something bad to Princess Jiaoyang.
On the day Murong Kai came back, after taking A'man away, someone sent Zhen Junran back to the Zhen Mansion. At that time, Zhen Junran was already a bloody mess, on the verge of life and death.
However, the Zhen family found a good doctor and tried their best to treat him, and Zhen Junran, who was on the verge of life and death, finally woke up.
But after waking up, he was faced with Su Jinxiu's resentment. She didn't expect that she was convicted because Zhen Junran had evil intentions towards A Man.
How could she accept that the person she wanted to marry and spend the rest of her life with turned out to be Ah-man? So, she wanted to settle the score with Zhen Junran in hatred. Madam Zhen was eager to protect her son, and the two of them wrestled with each other. The fight was fierce, but the baby in Su Jinxiu's belly was unharmed. Madam Zhen became suspicious, and the two wrestled again, only to find out that the so-called pregnancy was just Su Jinxiu's own act.
