Chapter 234 The truth comes to light
Chapter 234 The truth comes to light
"After the Fourth Prince knew about this, he asked the servants to keep it a secret, and deliberately mentioned to Concubine Wu that the two princes, Hongxi and Honghan, were strong, and it must have something to do with their diet. Sure enough, Concubine Wu knew that the princes often used egg custard."
"Then..." The nanny gritted her teeth, gave it her all, and poured out everything.
"Then Madam Yu fed the prince a lot of egg custard, and Concubine Wu also fed him herself, and that's why... the prince became allergic."
After the whole story was clarified, the Fourth Prince became the focus of the whole audience.
But how could the Fourth Prince just give in? He suppressed his fear and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I have no such intention. Wupin is my adopted mother, and Hongfang is my younger brother who I watched grow up. How could I have the intention to harm Hongfang?"
The Fourth Prince seemed to be very sincere, but Cao Qinmo looked on coldly, watching him struggle to his death.
When Concubine Wu heard the palace servants accusing the Fourth Prince, she knew that this was probably true. The Fourth Prince looked timid and weak. She had thought that if he behaved himself, she wouldn't mind having an adopted son, but he...
Concubine Wu was almost hating herself to death. Now that Hongfang was gone, which prince could she raise?
Those who are qualified to raise their own children don’t have to think about it. The only one left is the twelfth prince, but he is raised by the imperial concubine.
Xia Dongchun is a reckless person. It will be difficult to deal with her if you really fight with her. Besides, everyone knows that Concubine Xian and Concubine Chao are in cahoots. Just thinking about Xia Dongchun gives me a headache.
She could really come to your door.
Moreover, if something like this happened, the emperor might not allow me to raise another prince.
Wupin felt as if her heart was bleeding, as she had spent so much effort.
The Fourth Prince has harmed him so much, and he can't expect to have an easy life either if he can't live well.
I really forgot who pulled him out of the neglected corner of the Old Summer Palace, otherwise, I don't know where he is.
The emperor already hated his background.
Thinking of this, Ulanara lost her balance and fell off the chair. The palace maids rushed to help her, but Ulanara pushed the maids' hands away.
The expression on the ground was extremely sad, and the whole person seemed to have lost his energy.
"Your Majesty, I personally raised Hongfang. I held her in my arms from a very young age. I have no children of my own, so I raised her as my own son. Even if I have many faults, how could Fourth Prince be so cruel to harm Hongfang?"
I have to say that Ulanara is also a talented actress.
Huimin saw that all these people had grievances and reasons, and were wronged, but in their mouths, there was not a single sinner.
But, do you really think the emperor is stupid?
Looking at the emperor's calm eyes, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, as if he was just waiting for these people to reveal their ugly faces and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Huimin sat steadily, and Cao Qinmo was ready to go.
Concubine Wu portrayed the state of a mother losing her child to the extreme.
But how could Concubine Zhang tolerate her hypocritical appearance? She was about to speak, but Concubine Wu changed the target.
"Your Majesty, what happened to Hongfang was definitely not done by one person. How could the Fourth Prince infiltrate Yonghe Palace to this extent by himself? He must have helpers."
Looking at Concubine Wu's red eyes, the emperor signaled her to express her suspicions.
Seeing that the emperor supported her, Concubine Wu was delighted and turned around to attack Yixiu.
"Empress, why did you want to put Hongfang, a child, to death?"
The emperor has already released some evidence, including that the queen ordered someone to poison Hong Fang but failed.
Even before Hongfang caught a cold before New Year's Eve, it was her work that was done.
Wupin finally saw an opportunity to completely crush the queen, so how could she let it go? Now that Hongfang was dead, she had to make good use of her last value.
As she spoke, tears flashed in Wupin's eyes and her pupils trembled.
"You have also lost a child. How can you bear to let me lose Hongfang?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Queen's whole demeanor changed immediately. Originally, Yixiu still looked indifferent. She had been trapped in Jingren Palace for so many years that she had long since given up and had put life and death aside.
But the Queen would never allow herself to be killed in humiliation, nor would she allow her son Honghui to be used as a shield.
There was cruelty and violence in the queen's eyes, like a cold poisonous snake, staring at Concubine Wu.
"You regard the Eleventh Prince as your own son?"
The Queen smiled, "If you really regarded the Eleventh Prince as your own son, you wouldn't mind him crying and feeding him calming soup. If you really cared about him, you wouldn't deliberately make him sick and use this as an excuse to ask the Emperor for help."
"Moreover..." The Queen looked at Concubine Wu sarcastically, "If you cared more about this child, you wouldn't have been taken so easily. It was cold all night, and you really have the nerve to say that you treat this child like your own."
As she spoke, the Queen smiled and looked at the Emperor, "Your Majesty probably thought that Concubine Wu was very attentive in taking care of Hong Fang and praised her many times."
"I feel sorry for Concubine Zhang," the Queen looked at the emaciated, pitiful and pathetic woman, "How does it feel to know every day what your son is going through but be unable to do anything about it?"
Then the Queen scolded:
"How dare you! You are plotting to murder the queen of a country. What crime is that? As long as the queen is not deposed, I am the queen of the Qing Dynasty. Concubine Wu, you are so eager to kill me. Why don't you think about whether the retribution will come upon you?"
"Aren't you a vegetarian and praying for Buddha's blessing? You want Buddha to give you a prince? That's ridiculous."
The queen looked at Concubine Wu and smiled sarcastically.
But the more the queen spoke, the more fear appeared in Concubine Wu's eyes.
"I have your people by my side!"
The queen smiled without saying anything and just looked at her.
After all, the Queen had been planning things in the palace for many years and couldn't interfere in other places, but Yonghe Palace was where the Queen Mother lived when she was Consort De.
Concubine Wu thought that with the Empress Dowager around, Yonghe Palace would be omnipresent and her confidants would be loyal to her. She was totally wrong.
Hongfang was in poor health, and the Fourth Prince was able to succeed many times, thanks to the Queen's instigation.
As for Concubine Wu, the Queen felt very happy when she saw her sudden realization.
It's so clever that I was misled by my cleverness.
Then the queen bowed deeply towards the emperor.
"I know that I have committed serious sins, and I have been confined to Jingren Palace to reflect on my mistakes, but Concubine Wu has repeatedly tried to put me to death."
"They poisoned the food, soaked the clothes with drugs, and even tried to have the maids murder me."
Then the queen said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
Although the Queen wanted to attack Hongfang, she stopped in time after learning that the Fourth Prince also had this intention. Killing with a borrowed knife was a good idea.
The queen was just trying to fish in troubled waters and wait until the truth was revealed to get rid of her good sister.
After all, the emperor would not kill me. Besides, things have come to this point. What’s the point of living?
