Jing Yuan spoke harshly and asked domineeringly. He had long been fed up with this woman. If she kept to herself, he could give her a chance, but she wanted to hurt Chu Xia again and again, and he would never tolerate her anymore.

Zhao Meng'er's beauty turned pale. She was really scared this time. She thought that the concubine would support her, but she didn't expect that even the concubine's trump card was useless. She hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, I am doing all this for the sake of atonement."

Are you taking precautions in the bud and making up for the situation? Moreover, although I sent people to kill Li Ji, I did not take action against the Queen. That was a misunderstanding. If I knew that she was not Li Ji, how could I dare to take action?"

A hint of evil flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes, and he smiled coldly: "Zhao Meng'er, do you know that I hate self-righteous women the most, so take precautions before they happen? Do you know that I will definitely be seduced by her? There is also the matter of the queen.

, even if you don’t know, can you just do it? When will it be your turn to make the decision in this harem? "

Zhao Meng'er trembled all over and her eyes showed fear. No matter how powerful she was, she was still a weak and defenseless woman. How could she not be timid in front of the supreme king?

"Your Majesty, my concubine..."

"Shut up! I won't tolerate your sophistry in front of me. Come here! The imperial concubine is cruel and murders innocent people indiscriminately, which is an insult to the dignity of the royal family. Take her down and put her in a prison to wait for her punishment."

No one dared not listen to the emperor's words, and soon two guards came in, one on the left and one on the right, holding Zhao Meng'er up before leaving.

Zhao Meng'er didn't expect the emperor to be so heartless, and looked at the concubine for help, "Mother concubine, please save Meng'er? Meng'er really knows that she was wrong."

The concubine looked at the emperor in embarrassment. At first, she wanted to help the concubine because she said that the person named Chu Xia was a seductress. However, after meeting Chu Xia, she changed her view because her appearance was not seductive at all.

On the contrary, she is very pure. Especially her behavior and how she treats others, she is qualified to be the queen in every aspect. So now she doesn't know what to do. Seeing the emperor's indifferent expression, she swallowed her words again.

, pretending that she didn’t hear anything. Since the emperor’s attitude has been so clear, she doesn’t want to confront the emperor. Juquge

Zhao Meng'er realized that she had really betrayed her relatives now, and looked at Chu Xia with more resentment in her eyes, "Chu Xia, you witch, what kind of magic did you use to confuse the emperor? Others don't know your true face, but they can't deceive you.

To me, your appearance has not changed at all in ten years. You are clearly a goblin. If you are still here playing tricks, God will definitely accept you...Pfft..."

Before she could finish scolding, a palm strike struck her. Jing Yuan only used 30% of his strength. If he wasn't afraid of dirtying Huanyi Palace, he really wanted to beat that woman to death with one palm. How dare she scold Chu Xia?

She is a witch, and even if she is a witch, it is not her turn to talk nonsense. If Chu Xia is allowed to leave him because of this, he will definitely cut her into pieces.

"Zhao Menger, I warned you not to challenge my limits again! If you let me hear you insulting the queen again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless."

Seeing the imperial concubine's frail body flying sideways, hitting the wall and bouncing back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Everyone exclaimed, especially the servants, who all turned pale with fear and trembled to the side.

.

The concubine's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the emperor would be so angry. Chu Xiashui narrowed her eyes, but didn't say anything. This woman is not worthy of sympathy at all. When she hurt others, did she ever think about it today?

Will such an encounter happen?

The servants of Ximeng Palace originally wanted to go over and help him, but seeing the anger on the emperor's face, they all chose to protect themselves wisely. The people of Huanyi Palace were even more gloating in their hearts, thinking that this woman also had what she had today, and she really deserved it.

"Your Majesty... you can't do this to me. I did all this because of you..." Because the action just now was too violent, the gauze on Zhao Meng'er's face slipped off, revealing a face full of scars, which was simply shocking.

She didn't dare to look directly. She spit out a mouthful of blood and felt the pain in her body, which was not as good as the pain in her heart. This man, whether he was sincere or not, had loved and cared for her and pampered her after all. How could he be so heartless?

There was no tenderness for her in the emperor's eyes, but only disgust. The cold voice sounded, like Shura in hell, making people couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

"Zhao Menger, do you really want me to get to know you personally? If so, I can help you."

Zhao Meng'er's eyes flashed with pain and despair. Was she really desperate? All the waiting and efforts turned out to be wishful thinking. How sad?

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty, are you so heartless? You said that I am cruel and deserve to die. Those are nonsense. You just want to please her. When it comes to killing people

, Your Majesty, I am afraid that your hands have been stained with blood for a long time? And Chu Xia, do you dare to say that she has never killed anyone, so she is innocent? "

"Yes, I have killed people, and not only did I instruct others like you, I did it myself. Because those people deserve to die, and if I don't kill them, they will kill me. But what's wrong with Li Ji? Does she deserve to die?

? Or did she do something outrageous? She just looked like me, that’s why she suffered this fatal disaster. After all, the person you want to deal with is me, so why implicate innocent people? " No wait.

The emperor replied, and Chu Xia stood up and retorted loudly.

Jing Yuan walked to Chu Xia, put his arms around her waist, and said calmly: "Yes, Chu Xia did kill people to save me back then, but if it weren't for her bravery at that time, it would have been impossible.

There is Jingyuan at this time."

"The Emperor said well, if it weren't for Chu Xia, you wouldn't be where you are today, so have you ever thought about whether you would be able to get to where you are today without our Zhao family?" Zhao Meng'er seemed to be willing to go all out, even disregarding taboos.

When the concubine heard this, she couldn't help but change her face and shouted: "Meng'er, don't talk nonsense."

Jing Yuan's anger, which had calmed down, was suddenly covered with a layer of frost. Even Chu Xia, who was right next to him, felt a cold air coming out of his bones. She shrank from the cold.

"Is the imperial concubine accusing me of being ungrateful?"

After spitting out the cold words, Zhao Meng'er was startled, as if she had just realized what she had said. But the words had already been spoken, and even if she regretted it, it was too late.

At this time, Jin Fu bowed and walked in, and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao Guo wants to see you."

When Zhao Meng'er heard this, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope. Her father was here, and he must have come to save her. That was great. Just as she was about to look up and see the emperor's angry expression, she quickly lowered her head.

Jing Yuan's deep eyes flashed with darkness, and he said in a deep voice: "Let him come in."

"Yes." Jin Fu bowed and left to deliver the message, but his heart began to beat. The emperor had always been polite to Mr. Zhao in the past, but it seemed different today.

Soon Zhao Qifeng stepped in. Before he came to Huanyi Palace, he had already known that with his daughter's temper, she would not be willing to apologize. I'm afraid it would be counterproductive to anger the emperor. Now that I saw it, it turned out that it was not the case.

As expected, it seemed that even the concubine was deflated. Looking at his daughter's pale face and bleeding from the corners of her mouth, his heart suddenly tightened. But he didn't bother to comfort his daughter, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees in front of the man who was sitting on him, respectfully.

kowtow.

"Your Majesty, my little daughter has offended Your Majesty through ignorance, please Your Majesty to atone for her sins and forgive her once. The old minister has taught me nothing, so I am willing to atone for her sins."

Chu Xia saw that Zhao Qifeng was no longer as graceful as he was ten years ago. Now his temples were gray and his forehead seemed to have shallow wrinkles. Time was not forgiving. But what touched her heart was his kindness.

The daughter has true feelings and is a close relative of flesh and blood. Even though she knows that she has done something wrong, she is willing to bear everything for her.

When I saw him, I thought of my father. After his mother left, he supported a family by himself. Although he didn't talk about his love for her, now I think about his love for every bit of his life.

everywhere.

Jing Yuan sat majestically in the middle, looking at Zhao Qifeng who was kneeling on the ground. Inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Mr. Zhao, I can understand your eagerness to love your daughter, but not every time you can bear it for her. You

Do you know what she did? Let’s not talk about it for now. I believe you have heard about what she did in the harem, right? Do you want me to send someone else to testify?”

Zhao Qifeng was startled, and his face was not so pretty. It seemed that the emperor was really angry this time. He calmed down and said: "What the emperor taught you is that Meng'er is arrogant and domineering because of the arrogance of the old ministers. I heard that the emperor is going to

Regarding the construction of dams in the south of the Yangtze River, I am willing to go all out to support the emperor's great cause."

This was an obvious bribe to the emperor. Zhao Qifeng had a lot of money. Over the years, all his financial resources had been used to support her daughter. Sometimes he was also worried about what would happen to his daughter if one day he was gone or his financial resources were insufficient.

Jing Yuan naturally understood what he meant. Didn't he just rely on his own money? He thought that he couldn't live without him and needed his financial support. Indeed, in these years from his revenge to his current ascension to the throne, Zhao Qifeng gave him

A lot of help. Although he has worked hard to cultivate his own power and financial resources, he still cannot compare with him.

He knew that he could not underestimate Zhao Qifeng. He was already giving in by willing to pay. If he was pushed into a hurry, with his huge financial resources, Donghua would be paralyzed. If other countries took advantage of this to cause chaos, it would be in danger.

. This is the reason why he has tolerated Zhao Meng'er all these years. She also knows that she does not dare to do anything to her, so she has become more and more arrogant, and now she has reached out to Chu Xia. She has killed many concubines in the harem in the past.
