At this point, the truth was revealed to the world. The Emperor was shocked by wave after wave. He couldn't help but stare blankly at the scene, speechless.
Was the cause of all these tragedies really that unlucky baby girl from back then? No, it wasn't. Then who was it? Could it be … No, he was the Emperor, the destined Emperor. An Emperor wouldn't make any mistakes in his life.
"That's right! Everything was planned by me. Every step and every nail in the arrangement was carefully selected by me. Even these Ghost Head Wasps were collected by me and given to Jing Zhong. Does Your Majesty want the antidote? " Wiping away the tears on her face, Old Consort Yu raised her head. At this moment, she no longer had any secrets. It was as if she had been freed. She said without fear, "Then Your Majesty, please give the order to kill Consort Qi!"
At the side, Xiao Yunsu, who had been listening quietly, suddenly raised his head and said angrily, "Trap! This is a trap! What do you mean my mother killed Wen Cairen? Nonsense! Imperial Father, please don't listen to other people's instigation. Consort Mother has never harmed anyone! If she has the ability, let her take out the evidence! "
Lord Qi also knelt down and shouted, "My Qi Family has been loyal to the Imperial Court and contributed everything. Your Majesty, please investigate!"
The Emperor frowned. He might be concerned about their old relationship, but that was mainly his relationship with his elder brother, Old Prince Yu. But no matter how great the relationship was, Old Prince Yu was already dead. In the end, it couldn't be compared to his court. After weighing the pros and cons, His Majesty finally said, "Imperial Sister-in-law, you are making things difficult for me … You said that Consort Qi killed Wen Cairen, then do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, I have no reason to issue this imperial edict. "
Old Princess Yu sneered. At this moment, her face was brimming with a carefree smile. It was as if she had returned to the legendary princess consort from thirty years ago, who was dressed in red and fearless, standing on the city gate to cheer for the emperor. "His Majesty's beloved concubine might be very patient. How could she allow the evidence to remain? Since Your Majesty can't bear to kill her, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, if we can't get the antidote, that woman will die anyway. Then Your Majesty, please wait. When the time is up, your beloved consort and your officials will die together! I don't mind dragging a few more people down with me! "
Old Princess Yu's decisiveness was equivalent to publicly falling out with His Majesty. The consequences … As expected, His Majesty's face quickly darkened. Ning Shu worriedly stepped forward, wanting to persuade Old Princess Consort Yu.
A hand pulled her back from behind.
Xiahou Qing pinched her arm and whispered in her ear, "So far, you've done everything you can. What happens next is not something you can control."
"But …"
His clear and calm breath brushed past her ear: "There are no buts. Old Princess Consort Yu has already passed the age of Heavenly Mandate. She naturally knows what she wants. I also know that if you continue to interfere in this matter, you should be worried about your little life. Stand aside, I'll do it. "
After pulling Ning Shu behind him, Xiahou Qing stepped forward and asked Old Princess Yu calmly, "Old Princess Yu, if you were given a choice, did you really want someone to stop you when you picked up the white silk 38 years ago?"
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing, I just have a doubt: Humans seem to be naturally afraid of death. But between life and death, which is the boundless hell? And Old Princess Consort Yu, what do you really want? "
Xiahou Qing's voice was extremely calm, like a frozen pond without a single ripple. However, it caused Old Princess Consort Yu's eyes to reveal a moment of confusion.
Looking back at the half of her life that was immersed in the dark swamp, Old Princess Consort Yu couldn't help but stagger as she muttered to herself, "That's right, sometimes living is even harder than dying. Compared to the endless torture, death was much more satisfying. I almost let her off easy! Not only should I not want her to die, I should let her live. Living miserably and soberly is the ending she deserves! "
