Chapter 317 Do You Know - Xiao Qinshi 44
"Why? Your Majesty, tell me why! Cough cough cough cough cough"
Concubine Zhao really loved the Emperor terribly, but the Emperor she loved so much at this time didn't care about her situation at all. He only cared about Empress Cao's answer.
why?
"Why? Of course it's because I want him to be adopted into the royal family!"
"Since the emperor didn't ask me to give birth to a child, how can the emperor's child inherit the throne? Don't tell me that the emperor's child is my child. Without the blood of the Cao family, I don't recognize those lowly bloodlines!"
"Even if the emperor has no son, the adopted royal family would not dare to disrespect this mother. I have already made arrangements to push the emperor to adopt Zhao Zongshi when he is old. I have raised him for several years and even asked my niece to accompany Zhao Zongshi for a long time."
"Everything was clearly planned, but the emperor refused to give up. I don't know where he got Qin Wanrong from, and she was lucky enough to give birth to a prince, ruining all my plans."
"I originally wanted to kill the mother and keep the son. If that doesn't work, I can raise a prince who is close to me myself. Who would have thought that Qin Wanrong is so lucky!"
"In the past few years, I have tried my best to send many good things to Ronghua Palace. What does it matter if Qin Wanrong is cautious? When you die, I will find a way to make the emperor suspect Qin Wanrong, and then I will make sure that mother and son die of illness soon!"
Empress Cao spoke frankly, and the emperor outside the door also understood everything. Only Concubine Zhao inside was coughing non-stop because she was frightened by Empress Cao's madness.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, your Majesty, you are crazy! Ahem, I will wait for the emperor to arrive. I will ahem, tell him everything."
"Do you think you can still see the emperor alive after hearing these words?" Empress Cao's voice became vague, and the emperor could not hear clearly outside the door. While he was hesitating, Concubine Zhao inside had her mouth and nose covered by Empress Cao, "Shhh, you can die now..."
After hesitating for a long time, the official finally made up his mind. He first waved to Liang Duzhi and others to come and protect him. After Liang Duzhi and others arrived, he took a deep breath and signaled Liang Duzhi to open the door.
After the door was pushed open, everyone saw Empress Cao covering Concubine Zhao with a quilt.
"stop!"
As the emperor appeared, Empress Cao's face changed drastically. She turned around and was horrified to find that all her people were gone. The emperor had seen clearly how she had murdered Concubine Zhao.
Fortunately, the emperor did not hesitate for long, and Concubine Zhao was still alive. Unfortunately, when she saw the emperor coming, she was too surprised and excited. She spat out blood after saying only the two words "emperor" and died on the spot.
"She, she died of her own illness! No, it wasn't my fault." Queen Cao quickly calmed down. Even if she saw herself covering Concubine Zhao's neck, so what? Concubine Zhao was not suffocated to death.
As long as he doesn't admit it and just says that he covered Concubine Zhao with a quilt, the emperor will probably have no evidence.
If the emperor had just arrived, there was no evidence, so we could only suspect that Concubine Zhao was not smothered to death by Empress Cao, but died of vomiting blood. But Empress Cao didn't know that the emperor had already arrived and heard everything clearly.
"Poisonous woman! Poisonous woman! I will destroy you!!!"
Without giving Empress Cao a chance to explain herself, the emperor's men quickly captured her and, in accordance with the emperor's wishes, took her back to the Cining Palace and locked her up there. After the emperor announced what Empress Cao had done to the world, he formally issued an edict to depose her.
As soon as the imperial edict to depose the empress was issued, it caused an uproar in the entire Bian Jing. No one expected that the virtuous Empress Cao would be deposed so suddenly. At first, some people secretly rumored that Qin Wanrong was a seductive concubine who seduced the emperor to depose the empress and put her on the throne.
It was not until the Queen Cao's actions over the years were announced that everyone suddenly realized the truth. No one suspected that the emperor was lying. Everyone could not help but shudder when they thought of the rumors about Queen Cao's virtue in the past.
A virtuous man, so virtuous that he wants the government to cut off his descendants?
In Empress Cao's bedroom in the Cining Palace, Empress Cao sat dejectedly on the ground, not saying a word. After everyone had left the room and closed the doors and windows, Empress Cao raised her head and grinned wickedly.
She stood up and walked to the bed, bent down and dragged the person out from under the bed. The person was wearing only underwear, his hands and feet were tied, and his mouth was covered so that he could not make any sound. When he raised his head, he looked exactly like Empress Cao.
When she saw the fake Queen Cao, she was terrified and said, "Wuwuwu (Who are you?)"
"I, I am you." The fake Queen Cao winked at Queen Cao mischievously, "Why, don't you look like me?"
"Mmmmm (What on earth did you do?)"
"Oh, I forgot your mouth was blocked, so you can't understand. Never mind, I'll untie you!" The fake Queen Cao smiled and ignored Queen Cao's struggle, and 'kindly' stepped forward to untie Queen Cao.
After Empress Cao was untied, she immediately got up and hid on the other side of the bed: "You are Qin Wanrong's person, right? Answer me quickly, or I will make you die miserably when I get out!"
Empress Cao guessed half right. The fake Empress Cao was not Qin Wanrong's person, but her clone. Qin Wanrong was always impatient with any conspiracy. She felt that in a world like "Knowing or Not" with low martial arts and no magic, straightforward means were much harder to detect than conspiracy. After all, there was no fingerprint comparison, no DNA identification, and no surveillance in ancient times. It was much easier to fight if you didn't obey than to poison slowly.
Who knows how many people have handled the drug you gave, and whether they will betray you? If you don't want to be betrayed, it's safer to do it with your own clone.
Originally, she didn't want to be so rude, but the official couldn't make up his mind unless he harmed her. Qin Wanrong had really endured enough. She didn't want to impose heavy penalties based on what she had found out before, so she couldn't endure what she heard with her own ears, right?
If this is true, Qin Wanrong thinks that she should wait another two years until Zhao Qi is older, and then just create a clone to kill the emperor directly.
Fortunately, now that the imperial edict has been issued to depose the empress, her goal has been achieved. As for whether Empress Cao or Concubine Cao will die in the future, Qin Wanrong said she doesn't care. After all, if she doesn't solve the problem, Liang Duzhi will surely help solve it.
Queen Cao was confused now, but she thought that as long as others could see the fake queen, she could escape. So she began to shout loudly, trying to call people outside to come in. The clone said that Queen Cao was overthinking, and then deliberately took out a dagger and rushed towards the other party. In a panic, Queen Cao snatched the dagger and stabbed the clone. The clone was injured and disappeared early. When the people outside came in, they saw Queen Cao, who was only wearing underwear, frantically stabbing the clothes on the ground with a dagger.
Soon the news that Empress Cao had gone crazy spread throughout the harem, and no one believed what Empress Cao said: "It was all done by Concubine Rongde, it was Concubine Rongde who harmed her!" They also said, "Concubine Rongde is a monster!"
Liang Duzhi was so angry that he kept adding fuel to the fire in front of the emperor, asking the emperor to issue an edict to give Queen Cao a quick death!
