Concubine's true colors

Chapter 762 Killing Mother and Brother

The scorching heat of the chicken soup, as well as the growing sense of suffocation, made Queen Mother Chen, whose head was dipped in the big soup bowl.

With both hands struggling and scratching on the dining table, countless disks and chopsticks were overturned to the ground in an instant, causing quite a commotion.

Now the servant girl who was waiting outside the dormitory was startled, immediately worried, she raised her voice to ask inside the dormitory, and opened the door to come in.

Xiangping, who was full of horror, was still holding on to Queen Mother Chen's bun and pressing her into the chicken soup. Naturally, she couldn't ask anyone to come in and see the scene of her dipping and killing her biological mother.

Therefore, Xiangping saw the servants outside who kept asking inside, and the door of the palace was pushed open a gap, people were about to come in, she couldn't help but angrily stopped her:
"Presumptuous, whoever you dare to come in, the queen mother will have his head. There is nothing serious in the palace, but the princess has reported something about the emperor's younger brother, and the queen mother just lifted the bowls and chopsticks on the table in a moment of anger. Now in the palace It’s a confidential matter, anyone who is not afraid of death and wants to hear a little bit, then come in. It’s just that you dropped something, and you can’t clean it up for a while, look at the way you are making a fuss.”

Xiangping hid the panic in his voice with angrily reprimanded.

As for the people in Yanqing Palace who were serving outside, after hearing this, no one really dared to come in.

A gap had already been opened, and the palace door, which could have saved Empress Dowager Chen's life as long as it was pushed open, was silently closed again.

And after this delay, now looking at Empress Chen on the dining table, this dignified Empress Dowager has long since stopped struggling, her hair bun and temples are soaked in chicken soup grease stains in the porcelain bowl, obviously Already out of breath.

Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Chen can now be described as the real master of the harem, above the imperial power, the real power controller who listens to politics behind the curtain.

And she is so desolate now, it can even be said that she was so aggrieved and drowned in the soup bowl, it seems unbelievable, but it is not without reason.

In the final analysis, the death of the Empress Dowager Chen can be said to be her own fault and over-indulgence. These eight words alone can well explain her life.

Because he indulged Xiangping, the other party could always give orders instead of Empress Dowager Chen in Yanqing Palace, or even in the entire palace.

This also caused Xiangping's words to be too deterrent to the servants and maids.

So just now the noise in the dormitory, the people outside clearly noticed the abnormality.

But because Xiangping has been making decisions on behalf of Queen Mother Chen for a long time, and no one dared to disobey, the door of the palace that was originally opened was closed again.

If the Empress Dowager Chen can be a little bit more respectful, and not partial to one side, she will be at the mercy of Xiangping and Ji Lingfeng for several years.

Then she would definitely not end up in the situation where she was tragically killed by her own daughter after seeing the truth today.

No one knows what Empress Chen was feeling just before she was drowned alive.

But one thing is certain, if God gives her the same chance to be reborn like Xiao Jinxuan.

Perhaps Empress Chen would be able to distinguish right from wrong, let alone give Zhou Xianrui the medicine of tiger and wolf without feeling weak.

He would not be divorced from Zhou Xianyu, his adopted son, and it was even more impossible for his youngest son, Zhou Xianchen, to be bound by the throne and live a hard life.

It turned out that Empress Dowager Chen had many sons, and she was a wealthy life to support her life.

But when she forgot the mother-child relationship and became hostile with all her sons, her bleak ending was already doomed.

As for Xiangping, she was actually quite frightened at this meeting, after all, she was the biological queen, and if the other party's words were not too violent, she would definitely have declared Zhou Xianyu and Xiao Jinxuan to confront the palace.

As a result, Xiangping was forced to have no way out. In fact, she never thought of taking the life of Queen Mother Chen.

With a bowl of poison four years ago, Xiangping killed his own elder brother with his own hands, and framed the incident on Xiao Jinxuan, causing the other party to be displaced and almost killed. Until now, he has not been able to show his true identity in Dazhou.

But the obsession in Xiangping's heart at that time, she felt that she was avenging blood for her beloved brother Mo, so instead of feeling any guilt, she felt that this planting was extremely beautiful.

Even though many years have passed, every time I think of Zhou Xianrui's surprise and anger when he looked at her before his death.

In addition to Xiao Jinxuan's embarrassment of running away overnight, Xiangping would still be complacent, and felt that this was a glorious thing she did in her life that was worth remembering.

But when Xiangping's hand was loosened from Empress Dowager Chen's bun, and on the side of the soup bowl, she could clearly see the eyes of the biological mother who was dying with eyes wide open.

Even though Xiangping had killed countless people in a few years, she was still so frightened that her hands and feet went limp, and she fell to the ground directly.

After all, she was her biological mother, and the Empress Dowager Chen always loved Xiangping the most, and what happened to Mo Lingzhi back then had nothing to do with her.

So in this situation, Xiangping was still very frightened and uneasy. Seeing her sitting on the ground, staring at the body of Empress Dowager Chen, she shook her head vigorously and said:
"Mother, don't blame Xiang'er, you forced me, why did you have to find Seventh Brother and that bitch Xiao Jinxuan to enter the palace. I was indeed poisoned to kill Emperor Huang back then, but Zhou Xianrui deserves to die. Brother Mo would not have died if it hadn’t been for his elder brother taking Yan Luolei. There is nothing wrong with my daughter’s doing these things, but why do you have to investigate to the end. Mother, you are forcing my daughter to die. I just want to survive, so it’s right You did it. But I really didn't think about killing you, I just wanted to tell you to shut up and not announce anyone into the palace."

The dispute between Empress Dowager Chen and Xiangping just happened suddenly and intensely, and now Xiangping is getting more and more insane.

In the matter of drowning the biological mother, it was indeed not planned for a long time, but because of panic and excitement, he killed him.

But after Queen Mother Chen died, Xiangping calmed down now, and knew that the situation was too big, and she could not come back by herself.

Standing up tremblingly from the ground, Xiangping panicked in the bedroom, walking back and forth non-stop.

After she held her head for a long time before she finally calmed down, Xiangping took a few deep breaths, then raised her voice as normal as possible and said:

"Listen, servants outside, the queen mother has an order to announce Ji Dugong's audience immediately, don't delay, and invite him here."

Xiangping was in a turmoil just now, and after she gradually calmed down, although she still couldn't think of a way to deal with the current situation, she suddenly thought of Ji Lingfeng.

For so many years, even with the matter of Bieyuan's wives and concubines, Ji Lingfeng made Xiangping feel cold.

But the two of them have long been grasshoppers on the same rope, even if the love and comfort are not there.

But neither of them can do without each other, something will happen, Xiangping dare not let anyone know, but he alone believes that Ji Lingfeng will not betray her.

It didn't take long for Xiang Ping to come on, but when she was hiding away because she was too guilty to look directly at Empress Dowager Chen's face, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"My humble minister, Ji Lingfeng, was ordered to come to see the Empress Dowager. I don't know if my subordinates can come in now."

As soon as he heard Ji Lingfeng's voice, he had been frightened to the point of dismay, and Xiangping, who was still calm, burst into tears immediately.

Then she even ran to the door of the bedroom, carefully opened the main door, pulled Ji Lingfeng in, and quickly closed the door.

Ji Lingfeng was quite surprised by Xiangping's strange behavior. When he was about to ask, he didn't want the other party to throw himself into his arms trembling.

"Ling Feng, no matter what conflicts you and I have had before, but this time you must help the princess get through the current predicament. I killed the queen mother, what do you think I should do? I am still so young and I don't want to die , it was she who had to thoroughly investigate the poisoning of the emperor's brother, I was forced to kill him, but I really never thought that I would really kill the queen mother."

This is often the case with people, one wrong step, sometimes in order to cover up, they will go further and further wrong, and finally they will fall into the current Xiangping, and there is no room for turning back.

Although Xiangping's words were very flustered, Ji Lingfeng was a thoughtful person, and he immediately understood what happened in the bedroom.

Then Ji Lingfeng didn't care about Xiangping anymore, he pushed the crying opponent aside, and he walked towards the inner hall.

Immediately, the Empress Dowager Chen was already dead, with her face still drowning in the soup bowl, and she suddenly appeared in front of him.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Ji Lingfeng was so shocked that he stepped back a few steps in a row in astonishment, and then he looked at Xiangping and asked in disbelief:
"Xiang'er, this is really what you did. Empress Dowager Chen is your biological mother. Didn't I call you here today to persuade the other party to support Zhou Yi to ascend the throne and become emperor? Even if the other party disagrees, or wants to thoroughly investigate Zhou Xianrui's affairs back then, but Now there is no result, why did you kill the person? You know, killing the queen mother of a country is a capital crime, and there are so many maidservants outside Yanqing Palace, there is no way to hide this matter. "

After hearing Ji Lingfeng's words, Xiangping's emotions became even more agitated. Although she didn't dare to shout loudly, she still lowered her voice anxiously and said:

"If it's easy to deal with, I won't ask you Ji Lingfeng to enter the palace to help. Now that the queen mother is dead, you want to compete with the seventh brother and Xiao Jinxuan in the court situation. I, Xiangping, are your last reliance. As long as you have me, the eldest princess of the royal family Now, those who are attached to the Empress Dowager Party will not be in chaos, and I will fully cooperate with you to assist Zhou Yi to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor. And I assure you, if that baby becomes the emperor, I will hand over the power of the government and ask you to control it. And In the future, if you marry a wife and have children, this princess will not bother you, so that you can continue the incense for the Ji family. I have already talked about this. If you still remember the relationship with me over the years, you must make today Help me cover up the past. Otherwise, if something happens to this princess, you will not feel better."

The so-called love for many years has never existed in Ji Lingfeng's heart. Now he hates Xiangping's killing of his heir to death. According to his true thoughts, he really wants the other party to die immediately.

But at the same time, Ji Lingfeng is also very clear that what Xiangping said is not wrong, he lost a backer when the Queen Mother Chen died.

If Xiangping's murder of his mother and brother is exposed, he will have no support at all, let alone compete with Xiao Jinxuan.
