1444. Chapter 1444 Forgiveness

Concubine De knew that she couldn't hide it. Even if she wanted to defend herself, she could no longer find a reason to defend herself.

She could only confess and tell everything.

It was she who mixed the Queen Xian's hair oil and soap locust with a drug that was incompatible with each other. It didn't matter if it was used on ordinary people, but if it could be used on pregnant women, it would cause miscarriage. At that time, she just wanted the Queen to have a miscarriage. , who knew that the late empress would suffer from severe bleeding due to miscarriage, and as a result, she would not even be able to save her life.

Without Cheng Ying, Concubine De thought she could get more attention from the emperor, but found that Zhao Yong seemed to have forgotten her and kept doting on other women. She was like walking into a magic barrier, thinking that there was no other woman, Zhao Yong Yong will notice her, who knows... She will only be disappointed again and again. By the time she wakes up, she has done too many wrong things.

Concubine De told her everything she had done. She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Zhao Yong. She didn't dare to think about what would happen to her next.

She thought these things could be hidden for a lifetime!

As long as her son became the new king, all her fears would disappear. However, before she could wait for the second prince to ascend the throne, Zhao Yong found out all the truth.

"...Your Majesty, all this was done by this concubine alone. The second prince was young at the time and they didn't know anything. I beg the emperor to convict this concubine and not to implicate the second prince and the third princess." Concubine De said to Zhao Yong. said.

Although Zhao Yong already knew the truth, but after receiving confirmation from Concubine De, the anger in his heart still came up, "You deserve to die!"

He is really worse than a child. Back then, even Rao'er noticed that there was something wrong with Cheng Ying's death. He was so arrogant that he thought the harem was under his control and no one would dare to kill the queen under his eyes. He even Regardless of how scared Rao'er was of being alone after losing her mother, he sent her to the Cheng family...

There is a reason why Rao'er has resented and hated him for so many years.

"Father, although my mother and concubine did something wrong, everything she did was for us. I beg my father to spare my life because she only loves her son." Zhao Lan knelt down and cried to Zhao Yong begged for mercy.

The second prince knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Father, for once."

Zhao Lan and the second prince knew that it was impossible to argue that Concubine De was innocent. They could only ask Zhao Yong to spare Concubine De's life so that they could have a chance to save Concubine De in the future.

Watching the two children kowtow, Zhao Yong sighed softly in his heart. If he killed Concubine De, I'm afraid the two children would also be resentful of him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yong had many military exploits and was considered a wise king in Qi State. , but his children will eventually blame him and hate him.

"I won't kill you..." Zhao Yong lowered his eyes and looked at Concubine De. Sometimes death is a kind of relief.

Zhao Rao suddenly looked at Zhao Yong. She stared at him in disbelief and asked sharply with a choked voice, "You gave her a chance to admit her mistake. Who gave my mother a chance to live? What did my mother do wrong to be killed?" "

"Zhao Rao, what do you want?" Zhao Lan's heart had not yet filled with joy. When she heard Zhao Rao speak, she shouted in surprise.

"I don't want to do anything." Zhao Rao looked down at Concubine De. Over the years, she had hoped to get the truth thousands of times. Now she knew it. She also knew that keeping Concubine De was torture for her. However, she also I will never forget that this woman also has a son, "Go see my mother and queen. If she forgives you, you can come back."

"Rao'er..." Zhao Yong frowned, "I will punish her and give your mother an explanation."

"My queen mother doesn't need you to do anything for her." Zhao Rao didn't even look at Zhao Yong. "For my queen mother, the last thing she wants is for you to do anything for her again."

Concubine De didn't want to die, she also wanted to be the queen mother. Seeing Zhao Rao's murderous eyes, her expression changed, "Princess, what do you want to do?"

"I said, the person you are sorry for is your mother. There is no point in letting others let you go. Only if my mother forgives you can you live." Zhao Rao squatted in front of Concubine De, with a smile on his bright face. It chilled people to the bottom of their hearts, "So, go and beg my mother. If she forgives you, I will let you go."

"You..." Concubine De's eyes widened in horror, and she fell silent before she could finish her words.

At some point, Zhao Rao held a gold hairpin in his hand and thrust it straight into Concubine De's neck. Blood spurted out, and her dress and hands were instantly dyed red.

"Mother concubine..." Zhao Lan let out a shrill scream.

The second prince's eyes turned red with anger, and he stretched out his hand to hit Zhao Rao.

Cheng Zheng kicked him away, held Zhao Rao tightly in his arms, buried her head in his chest, and whispered comforting, "Don't be afraid, Rao'er."

Zhao Lan threw herself on De Concubine, trying to hold the wound with both hands, but blood kept gushing out. De Concubine opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.

She didn't want to die so soon...

"Physician, please call the physician!" The second prince shouted like crazy.

Zhao Yong was still sitting in his original position, and his eyes fell on Zhao Rao. She curled up in Cheng Zheng's arms in silence, her shoulders trembling slightly, but because Cheng Zheng was there, she seemed to have support. .

He had killed countless people in his life and had seen all kinds of bloody scenes, but none of them shocked him like seeing his daughter kill someone with his own eyes today.

How much hatred is hidden in Rao'er's heart...

Has she been able to endure it all these years and can no longer bear it?

"Your Majesty, please take the eldest princess and leave first." Cheng Zheng said to Zhao Yong in a low voice.

Zhao Yong glanced at his daughter. After she killed Concubine De, she stopped talking and said, "Take her down."

Zhao Rao rested her head on Cheng Zheng's shoulder. The hatred that had supported her for so many years was finally repaid. She felt relieved. Now she didn't want to say anything, but she was just glad that Cheng Zheng was by her side and would not make her more helpless.

"Zhao Rao!" The second prince looked at their leaving figures with hatred in his eyes and vowed in his heart that he would never let them go in the future.

"Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine..." Zhao Lan couldn't care about anything else now. She just wanted to save Concubine De.

The imperial doctor arrived quickly. He was shocked to see Concubine De with a gold hairpin stuck in her neck and her whole body covered in blood. He hurried over to check her pulse and shook his head with a heavy face, "Your Majesty, Concubine De has no breath. ”

"No... no... imperial doctor, my mother-in-law will not die, please save her, save her quickly." Zhao Lan screamed.

That golden hairpin directly severed the artery in her neck. It was impossible for Concubine De to be saved. Zhao Yong glanced at her lightly and said, "Your mother-in-law deserves it. For your sake, I will suppress the evidence of her crime." ”

Zhao Lan hugged Concubine De and cried loudly.

The second prince knelt down and said, "Thank you, father."
