Qiaoyue was restrained by the imperial guards who rushed in. Her eyes were full of fear. She never thought that Concubine Zhao would act so unreasonably. She was a member of Prince Rui, and Concubine Zhao actually wanted to kill her. She was escorted to the House of Internal Affairs? Concubine Zhao, why are you going against Prince Rui? Prince Rui is her biological son, and tiger poison does not eat its seeds. How dare Concubine Zhao? Qiao Yue struggled desperately: "Empress , we are our own people, what are you doing? Do you also want to target the county king? "

"He is your biological son."

Concubine Zhao's eyes glowed coldly, she sneered and said word by word: "It's true that Xiao Xuanrui is my biological son. However, I only discovered now that I have raised a man-eating wolf for so many years. Zaizi.”

"This wolf bastard, even if he eats other people, he even eats the flesh and blood of his own closest relatives. Now, he wants to eat me again... If I don't take action to discipline him, I will be killed by him one day. Take advantage and lose your life."

She finally understood. This son had a kind of cold-blooded viciousness flowing in his bones. He was willing to pay any price and sacrifice anyone for his goals. If she didn't take action to discipline him, I'm afraid she would do the same in the future. She didn't know when she would die. Zhao Guifei had made up her mind to deal with Xiao Xuanrui. No one could change this decision. Qiao Yue looked at the determination in Zhao Guifei's eyes, and her heart suddenly trembled. . There was a layer of fear in her eyes, and she could no longer maintain the calmness on the surface. She shouted to the inner hall like crazy: "Prince... I want to deal with you, I want to avenge the Zhao family... Prince, save me, save me."

Concubine Zhao frowned and ordered in a cold voice: "Stop her mouth, take her to the House of Internal Affairs, and torture her, life or death."

The Imperial Guards immediately responded and blocked Qiao Yue's mouth quickly with both hands and feet. Qiao Yue's eyes were full of despair, she whimpered and struggled desperately, trying to find a chance of survival for herself. However, how could she be a Imperial Guard? The opponent. Her hands and feet were tied, and there was no hope of breaking free. She was dragged away from the Feiyue Palace by two tall guards. Concubine Zhao called two more guards over, and she He called out several names to them. "These people are all planted spies. You go and deal with it for me. The purpose of dealing with it is to leave no one alive."

The two imperial guards promised in a low voice and led the people towards Feiyue Palace. After a while, Feiyue Palace became a mess, with various sounds of crying and begging coming one after another. There were many palace people who wanted to rush in. Go to Concubine Zhao and explain to her that they are all Xiao Xuanrui's people. But Concubine Zhao did not give those people a chance. She did not blink her eyes and watched those palace people being dragged away. Waiting for those people , everything is hell. After the Feiyue Palace was noisy for a while, it finally returned to calm. Concubine Zhao stood under the eaves of the palace, sweeping the cold palace... Then, she was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her feet , and looked at Xiao Xuanrui, who was still unconscious. She looked at his condition, and it didn't look like he was cheating... This poisoning was real poisoning. But Xiao Xuanrui must have an antidote in his hands... Zhao Guifei Without saying a word, she began to rummage through Xiao Xuanrui's clothes. She rummaged around, and after a short search, she finally found a white medicine bag in his arms. Concubine Zhao's eyes were dark, and she called an imperial doctor over. Ask him to check the ingredients of the medicine package. About half a quarter of an hour later, the imperial doctor's eyes flashed with joy, and he knelt down in front of Concubine Zhao excitedly. "Your Majesty, this is the antidote. Where did you find the antidote?" Give this antidote to the prince, and he will be fine."

Concubine Zhao curled her lips and smiled softly, with a hint of ridicule flashing in her eyes. She waved the imperial doctor to leave. Only she and Xiao Xuanrui were left in the entire inner hall. She opened the medicine bag, and took the medicine with a somewhat rough movement. The bag was fed into Xiao Xuanrui's mouth. Xiao Xuanrui began to swallow subconsciously. Seeing that he had finished swallowing the powder, Zhao Guifei poured a glass of water and poured it into his mouth. After a while, Xiao Xuanrui gradually became conscious, and she woke up and turned around. .When he saw Concubine Zhao, who was sitting by the bed and looking at him with a calm face, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. Something was wrong, whether it was the expression of the concubine or the time he woke up. He felt surprised. He was a little weak and called out to his mother. Concubine Zhao sat there, motionless, just looking at him quietly. Xiao Xuanrui's heart became more and more uncertain. He shouted again in a hoarse voice: "Concubine, you have just recovered. Now you should have a good rest and recuperate your body. Your son is fine now, don't worry..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Concubine Zhao. "Rui. Son, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. Don't use those hypocritical words to fool me."

Xiao Xuanrui suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart. He turned his head and glanced around the palace, but did not see Qiao Yue. Concubine Zhao seemed to see through his thoughts, and she sneered: "Don't look, Qiao Yue. Not here. I asked the Imperial Guard to take her to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. By now, she is probably almost dead, right?"

Xiao Xuanrui's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Concubine Zhao in disbelief: "Concubine... you... why did you take Qiao Yue to the House of Internal Affairs? She is your son, the one you hired to serve you. She is your son's Man...did she make any mistake to offend the mother-in-law?"

"Concubine, if she really angers you, can you spare her this time for the sake of your son? She is an extremely loyal person. Only when she is by your side can your son feel at ease. "

Concubine Zhao gradually became cold when she heard his hypocritical words. "Rui'er, she is indeed a loyal slave. But her loyalty is for you, not for me. Before I passed out, , what happened, do you think I will forget it as soon as I wake up? "

"You asked her to fill me with medicine, control my people in Feiyue Palace, and put me under house arrest. I lay on the bed for several days. If it weren't for an unexpected accident, something went beyond your expectations. I I thought I might never have the chance to wake up."

"Ruier, you are really my good son. I worked hard to bring you up, and this is how you repay me? Or do you think that because you are my son, I can let you do anything? mistake?"

Xiao Xuanrui opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Concubine Zhao didn't give him a chance at all. She looked at Xiao Xuanrui coldly with cold eyebrows. "So many people in the Zhao family have died. Whether it was your intention or not, they all died because of you. Damn it. Your grandfather is seriously ill, have you ever thought about going to see him? The Zhao family is about to die because of you, do you ever have the slightest regret in your heart? "

"I guess you don't have any regrets, right? For a person like you, you are willing to sacrifice anyone for the sake of power and position. You are selfish, cold-blooded and ruthless... In your eyes, nothing but profit is For you, interests and family ties are just stepping stones that you can use..." "We are all chess pieces that you can use, and we are all puppets that you can manipulate at will. Xiao Xuanrui, my mother-in-law really underestimated me in the past. You. When you were young, I paved the way for you and consolidated your power. I worked hard and supported you with all my strength. But in the end, how did you treat me? You had just grown up and your wings hadn’t grown hard yet, so you Drug me, put me under house arrest, control me..." "Oh, Xiao Xuanrui... given time, as long as the time is right, I dare to conclude that you will step on my bones and risk everything to get to that position. In your heart, There is no kindness or tenderness at all. In addition to plundering, you are still plundering. Have you ever had me as a mother in your heart? If you had, you would not have done those things to me."

Xiao Xuanrui's palms clenched the quilt tightly. His breathing was a little heavy. "Mother, concubine, didn't everything my son did follow your plan? I know better than anyone else that what you want is What. You have been sitting in the position of imperial concubine for too long. It’s time to change your position. Don’t you want to take a step further and be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with your father?"

Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of hatred. She couldn't help raising her hand and slapped Xiao Xuanrui hard. "Shut up, it's obviously your own ambition, but you keep saying it's for me? Xiao Xuanrui, How could you become such a selfish, cold-blooded devil?"

"Are you still my son?"

Xiao Xuanrui covered his face in pain and looked at Concubine Zhao with red eyes. "Am I the devil? Concubine, haven't I been working hard according to your expectations? Don't you see my efforts?"

Concubine Zhao was heartbroken, her eyes sparkling with crystal tears. She gritted her teeth and shouted word by word: "Work hard? Your hard work is that you have lost your position as the prince, and so many people in the Zhao family have died?"

"Xiao Xuanrui, I have taught you to fight for the throne and one day be able to sit on that supreme high position. But you can't kill your own relatives just because you are fighting for that position?"

"First it was Zhao Yun, then Zhao Kui, then Zhao Qinghuai, and then Zhao Yi... These people are all your cousins. They are all your closest relatives... How could you do this? ?”

"Because you killed Mr. Zhao Sixth, your eldest uncle and second uncle were burned alive in a fire. Xiao Xuanrui, tell me, even if one day, you step on countless corpses and sit on the supreme position... All the flesh and blood relatives who supported you are dead, isn't it a good thing for you?"

Xiao Xuanrui smiled coldly, with no trace of regret in his eyes. "My cousins ​​are all idiots who are useless. They were not killed by me, but by my own stupidity. If I don't eradicate them in time, , the fire will burn me. Concubine, I did that just to protect myself, what's wrong with me?"

Concubine Zhao looked at the sarcastic smile in his eyes. She felt extremely chilled. So many people had died, but he still didn't feel guilty at all. He didn't regret the things he had done at all. Concubine Zhao was full of heart. It was all desolate, and then she realized that her son was a cold-blooded and cold-hearted evil ghost. She closed her eyes, raised her hand, and wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes. She never looked at Xiao Xuanrui again. No matter how much she said, he didn't know how to repent or what guilt meant. In this case, why should she waste more words and waste time? Concubine Zhao immediately turned around and walked outside. Xiao Xuanrui's eyes were filled with confusion. , he shouted in a low voice: "Mother, concubine, hurry up and let Qiao Yue go. She can't die, I can still use her if I keep her."

Concubine Zhao ignored him at all. She staggered out of the inner hall and out of the palace gate. She went straight towards the imperial study. At the door of the imperial study, several old ministers were kneeling, as well as Some officials were excited and full of indignation. They were all impeaching Xiao Xuanrui for stealing the imperial order. Stealing the imperial order is a serious crime. If it were ordinary people, they would probably have their homes confiscated and exiled, and the nine tribes would be punished. The emperor's chopping board was full of things The emperor frowned and remained silent. The old ministers were very dissatisfied with the emperor's attitude. They clamored that if the emperor did not punish Xiao Xuanrui, they would never be able to kneel down. The emperor was imprisoned. They were bothered and had a huge headache. Eunuch Zhou opened his mouth and wanted to persuade: "Your Majesty, the matter of Prince Rui stealing the imperial decree has caused a storm in the city. If you don't punish the prince, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop Youyou. Everyone."

"Those adults outside are all stubborn ministers. If you continue to remain silent, they will probably die to remonstrate with you."

As soon as Eunuch Zhou finished speaking, someone from the palace hurriedly walked in from the outside and knelt on the ground to report. "Your Majesty, it's not good. Several adults are clamoring to die for remonstrance."

"Fortunately, the slaves pulled it quickly, otherwise, their blood would have been splashed on the spot."

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly stood up from his chair. His face was livid, and he stepped out of the imperial study. When the courtiers who were kneeling outside saw the emperor coming out, they all excitedly raised their voices and raised their necks to remonstrate. "Your Majesty, the emperor is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty. You can no longer tolerate and condone Prince Rui. Otherwise, the country will not be a country, the law will not be the law, and the Nanchu Kingdom will be in chaos."

"Your Majesty, you can no longer be so confused and choose to protect Prince Rui. He dared to steal the imperial order. I don't know what he did after taking the imperial order."

"Such a serious crime cannot be treated lightly and must be severely punished."

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you don't punish me severely, I will die in front of the imperial study today."

"I am all veterans who have experienced three dynasties. We are loyal to Nan Chu. As remonstrating ministers and officials who supervise the emperor, we will never let this matter be exposed easily..." " I beg the emperor to punish Prince Rui severely and give the world a clear and just Nanchu."

The emperor's face was very ugly. He clenched his fists and looked at them with anger flashing in his eyes. "Are you forcing me?"

"Didn't I say that the person who stole the imperial order was not Prince Rui, but someone else. The specific matter needs to be investigated clearly... I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer... ..." Before the emperor could finish what he said, Concubine Zhao came step by step from a distance and interrupted the emperor's words. "Your Majesty... I have already investigated the matter of stealing the imperial order. I am waiting at your side. Qiao Yue, all of them have been recruited..." There was silence all around. They all looked at Concubine Zhao in disbelief. The emperor's body trembled, a bit of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he looked at Concubine Zhao in a daze. Concubine Zhao Someone handed Qiao Yue's confession to the emperor. Then, she knelt down and pressed her forehead tightly against the cold floor. "Your Majesty... I have found out that the person who stole the emperor's order is Xiao Xuanrui. He is extremely ambitious and intends to take advantage of the imperial order to kill Chao Gang. As his biological mother, I cannot just watch him continue to make mistakes. Therefore, today I want to kill my family out of justice..." "Xiao Xuanrui stole the imperial order, The evidence is conclusive. Stealing the imperial decree is a serious crime. The emperor is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty. I request your majesty to severely punish Xiao Xuanrui in accordance with the national law and restore a fair and clear world to the people and ministers."

The emperor was completely stunned. His eyes widened and he looked at Concubine Zhao in disbelief. He was so shocked that his voice couldn't help but tremble. "Wan... Wan'er. You... you know what you are talking about. What are you doing?"

He never expected that Wan'er would take the initiative to expose Rui'er's crime. She was personally trying to push Rui'er to a dead end. What exactly happened? Wan'er's mentality changed dramatically. ? He clearly remembered that before he left, Wan'er was still full of worries and stayed by Rui'er to take care of him. As soon as he turned around, things took a shocking turn. No matter how much the emperor thought, he couldn't figure out what was going on. What happened? He wanted to let Concubine Zhao calm down and make some decisions. Unexpectedly, Concubine Zhao's attitude was very determined. She raised her head, and although her eyes were scarlet, her eyes were shining with determination without hesitation. "Your Majesty... ...I know very well what I am doing. This son has taken many, many wrong paths...If I don't correct him or teach him how to be a good person, I am afraid he will harm others and himself, and cause great disasters. of."

"As his biological mother, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, I am willing to accept all punishments. If he is wrong, he is wrong. Since he does not realize his mistakes, I should teach him a lesson. , being born as a human being, what are parents, what is family affection, what is responsibility and responsibility."
