"Back then, Concubine Xue was as favored as the Chaoyang Princess today!"
She snorted, "The Emperor was at the peak of his power. Who didn't praise him for his ambitions? The harem had thirty thousand sisters. Although they weren't evenly distributed, they could still occasionally see the Emperor. But since Concubine Xue appeared, everything changed. "
The Emperor's vision gradually became monotonous. Even if he went to see other women, it was just a formality.
That year, when she first entered the palace, seeing Concubine Xue, she was also crazy with jealousy.
Thinking of this, she smiled faintly, "Concubine Xue was unparalleled in her favor. Many women in the harem were jealous of her. Many tried to assassinate her, but they all failed. Because the Emperor was too careful, they didn't have a chance."
"But … only your mother." Liu Xian Fei looked away, the shadow of that person gradually appeared in her eyes. Li Qinghua, how long has it been since she thought of him? She was always dressed in light-colored clothes. Her smile was gentle and demure, and she had a scholarly aura around her.
"Your mother was also favored, but because of Concubine Xue, she gradually became quiet. Then … I don't know how, but she became friends with Concubine Xue. The Emperor saw that Concubine Xue rarely had a sister to talk to, so he didn't stop them. Instead, he took care of your mother. But not long after, Concubine Xue died of a terrible disease.
At that time, the Emperor was so sad that he didn't want to live anymore. He ordered a thorough investigation, and finally found your mother. Concubine Xue wanted to entrust her daughter to your mother before she died, but your mother killed her! "
"Is what you said true?"
Gong Dai spoke quickly. His eyes shot over like lightning, capturing Liu Xian Fei's attention. His Imperial Mother was gentle and elegant. She was definitely not the scheming and murderous person that she had described!
Liu Xian Fei was shocked by his eyes, but then she snorted.
"Of course it's true. Your Imperial Mother loves books. Every time, she would bring some books for Imperial Concubine Xue to read. She would also dye the inside of the books with colorless and odorless poison … She really is a talented woman who has read a lot of books. Her methods are really brilliant. Once the poison is dried to a certain extent, it will lose its toxicity. If it weren't for the Emperor's timely blockade and thorough investigation, no one would know that it was her who did it in a day or two!"
So … so Imperial Father used Liu Xian Fei to kill Imperial Mother? So when he was framed, Imperial Father arbitrarily decided to convict him and banished him to the Cold Palace? No, that can't be. Imperial Father doesn't need to borrow someone else's hand to kill people. This is illogical!
His mother wasn't such a person, and he wasn't the son of Royal Sister's mother's murderer!
Liu Xian Fei did hide a part of it.
That's right, at the time, the Emperor didn't even find out who did it. She had a female official who was familiar with medicine at her side. She was a trusted aide that her father had sent to her. By chance, her female official had smelled the fragrance of a poisonous flower on Li Shufei's body. Combined with Xue Fei's sudden death not long after, it aroused her suspicion.
She pretended to be on good terms with Li Xian Fei and ordered her confidant to search for evidence. Only then did she discover the pages stained with poison. That very night, she reported it to the Emperor.
The Emperor was furious, so she volunteered to give her a taste of her own medicine. Her female official also knew how to make the poison. She was willing to poison the murderer for Imperial Concubine Xue.
The Emperor gladly agreed, and after the deed was done, he gave her the title of Xian Fei. Even when she schemed against Gong Dai and wanted to eliminate the root of the problem, the Emperor turned a blind eye to it.
But she couldn't tell Gong Dai about this.
"It's up to you whether to believe it or not. Before Li Shufei died, she asked this consort. This consort said that this was His Majesty's will. She immediately returned in a daze and died that night. This consort can swear to the heavens that everything I said is true!"
Gong Dai looked at her, his eyes cold, but his heart was filled with sorrow.
He couldn't help but think of the last few words his mother said before she died.
Two sentences: don't take revenge.
One sentence: because she felt guilty, she wanted to pay with her life.
Another sentence: because even in death, she still loved that man deeply, so she was willing to die!
It's a pity that I can't see you grow up …
Gong Dai felt like his whole body was wrapped in a giant cocoon, so suffocating that it almost drove him crazy!
His mother killed Imperial Concubine Xue, and then died because of her. But because of her, Royal Sister was banished to the Cold Palace at the age of three, and was bedridden for four years … If Royal Sister knew that he was the child of her mother's enemy … she would hate him …
On the way back, Gong Dai seemed to have lost his soul. For the first time in his life, he was muddle-headed and didn't know what to do.
Liu Xian Fei's voice kept echoing in his ears.
"Chaoyang Princess values you because you were the one she depended on in the Cold Palace for three years. But if she knew that your mother was the one who caused her to be banished to the Cold Palace, I don't know how she would feel …"
Liu Xian Fei laughed so happily. "Sibling love? Your Highness better hope that she never finds out. Once she turns against you, Your Highness won't be her opponent. "
Royal Sister … would hate him?
For the first time, Gong Dai stopped outside the Taiji Palace, looking at the brightly lit place, vaguely able to hear her laughter.
She was so dazzling. Just by her side, one could feel endless joy. Even the palace servants around her had smiles on their faces as they walked in and out. In this palace, she was so different from the rest.
Gong Dai stood for a while, then turned and walked towards his own Taihe Palace.
There was some distance between the Taihe Palace and the Taihe Palace, but every time, Gong Dai felt like it would only take a quarter of an hour. Because he could see the Royal Sister, this distance was nothing. But this time, when he walked on the road to the Taihe Palace, he felt that the road was so long, so dark, and so dark. The flames on both sides seemed to be able to eat people, but they couldn't disperse the thick darkness of the night.
A few days later, GongYimo finally felt that something was wrong.
She had never been a person who would restrict people's freedom, so when Gong Dai didn't appear for a day or two, she just thought that he had grown up and needed his own private space. But after not appearing for five days, GongYimo faintly felt that something was wrong. Just as she was about to go find him, a palace servant hurriedly ran over.
"Bad news, bad news, Princess. His Highness the Ninth Prince injured His Highness the Fourteenth Prince at the Imperial College. His Majesty is questioning him!"
When GongYimo heard this, how could she still sit still? She quickly got up and used her qinggong to rush to the Imperial College …
The Imperial College was a bit far from the Taiji Palace. When GongYimo arrived, everyone was kneeling on the ground, and the Emperor's angry voice rang out in the hall. Countless palace servants were silent out of fear.
When GongYimo arrived, something was suddenly thrown at her. GongYimo subconsciously dodged, and didn't even look to see what it was. The Emperor's angry roar could be heard.
"Look at how you're protecting your good brother! Not only did you dare to go against me, you even heavily injured your own brother! What do you have to say! "
At this time, Gong Dai's body was completely red as he stood in front of the Emperor. When he heard the Emperor's words, he opened his bloodshot eyes and retorted with a hoarse voice.
"This matter has nothing to do with Royal Sister!"
