The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis
Chapter 222 Why They Look Alike
Lady Xie turned to Xie Lin, with a tearful face, and smiled bitterly: "How can there be no hatred between you and me? You are the head of the Xie family, in charge of all the resources of the family, but I have been in the palace for more than 20 years, but I am just a small noble. You never used the resources of the Xie family to help me get promoted. I have long resentful you in my heart.
"You are weak and have too many ideas. You have been disobedient since childhood and always act on your own. You have driven my mother and I crazy several times. Shaobai is completely different from you. He knows how to respect his grandmother and his aunt. I have long wanted to help him become the head of the family and replace you.
"Although you and I are siblings, we haven't spent much time together. We have never had a sibling relationship since we were young. Didn't Master Xie know this long ago?"
Lady Xie gave a mocking smile.
She described the reasons for framing Xie Lin so powerfully that everyone was shocked. They all looked at Xie Lin with great sympathy and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xie Lin was still kneeling in the main hall, his hands hanging by his sides, quietly clenched, his face cold as he stared at Concubine Xie.
But Concubine Xie quickly shifted her gaze and spoke again: "As for Concubine Zheng... she relied on her higher status than me, was deeply favored by the emperor, and had the support of His Royal Highness Prince Cheng, and repeatedly bullied me and my Rongrong!
"She even threatened to ask the emperor to marry my Rongrong to Nanqi. I only have this one daughter, and I can't let her marry away from me to Nanqi! Concubine Zheng is the best at blowing the emperor's pillow, how can I tolerate her?
"Only by killing her can my Rongrong avoid the fate of being married off to Nanqi! Only by killing her can she know that if she wants to control the fate of others, she will have to pay the price of her life!"
The emperor was so furious that he came down from the platform himself and kicked Concubine Xie in the heart, knocking her to the ground and causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.
The emperor said angrily: "Xie is as vicious as a snake. She dared to murder the imperial concubine and frame the queen and court officials. She is demoted to a commoner and given a white silk!"
Concubine Xie fell to the ground, holding her chest and laughing, tears trickling down her face and mouthfuls of blood.
The emperor, for the sake of Princess Anding and Xie Lin, decided not to bring disaster to Concubine Xie's family and only sentenced her to death with a three-foot white silk cloth.
After learning the news, Princess Anding knelt in front of the Purple Palace and begged the emperor to spare Concubine Xie's life. However, the emperor ignored her and let her kneel until she fainted.
As for Dongfang Shuo, his deceased mother was killed by a small nobleman. Naturally, he felt unfair and unconvinced.
In his ideal, he would either take this opportunity to kill Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, or kill the queen! Unfortunately, Concubine Xie had all the evidence, and she had confessed herself. Although he was not convinced and unhappy, he could do nothing about it.
He was also reprimanded by the emperor for kidnapping the two sisters of the Chu family. Fortunately, people around him pleaded for him, saying that it was understandable that he lost control of his emotions because of the death of his mother, so he was spared a beating.
Otherwise, with Chu Heyi's eloquent tongue, he would not only be beaten with a stick, but also be thrown into prison as punishment for a period of time.
"Your Highness, do you really believe that your mother was killed by Concubine Xie?" Dongfang Shuo and Runxue sat opposite each other in the study of Prince Cheng's mansion.
"We have both witnesses and evidence, and Concubine Xie has confessed her guilt. I don't believe what else can be done. Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and the Queen are really too difficult to kill." Dongfang Shuo gritted his teeth.
Runxue fell into deep thought. These three people were indeed difficult to kill. She agreed with what Dongfang Shuo said.
The death of Concubine Zheng in this struggle was enough to surprise her. However, the death of Concubine Zheng not only failed to overthrow the Queen, but also did not kill Xie Lin and Chu Heyi, which shocked and surprised her again.
The death of Concubine Zheng was not worth it just to bring down a small nobleman under the Queen.
Runxue said: "My mother was definitely not killed by Concubine Xie. She is not that smart, and she is not that capable. She is just taking the blame for someone else."
Dongfang Shuo looked at her, and she continued, "Your Highness, we must find the real murderer and avenge our mother!"
Dongfang Shuo frowned, his eyes full of hostility.
Runxue said: "But we can't keep charging forward. We need to find someone to charge forward for us. If it weren't for mother charging in the front, we wouldn't be dead now. We need to learn from our mistakes."
Dongfang Shuo asked her: "Who will charge into battle for us? Who is willing?"
Runxue took his hand, wrote a person's name on his palm, looked into his eyes, and said, "Seize their weaknesses and use them for our own benefit. Let them stir up trouble, and we can spare time to do other things.
"If they win, that's great. If they lose, we'll just lose a pawn. Besides, it will take time and energy for Xie Lin, Chu Heyi, or the Queen to deal with them. During this time, we will grow stronger. When Xie Lin and Chu Heyi find that we are unstoppable, they will be defeated without a fight."
Dongfang Shuo held Runxue's hand in his palm and held it tightly: "Princess, this is a very good plan, let's do it. In addition, the people you chose are very good, and no one will suspect them."
Runxue smiled gently, and the power dynamics were reshuffled.
She thought of something else, frowned slightly, and said, "Your Highness, do you think that the Queen's hatred towards Xie Lin and Chu Heyi is groundless?"
Dongfang Shuo said, "I heard that Xie Lin looks a bit like the prince, and the queen is very concerned about this. In her mind, her son is very noble, and Xie Lin is just a minister, how can he look like her son."
He added: "But I don't see how Xie Lin looks like the prince."
Runxue thought carefully about the appearance of the prince and Xie Lin, and they were indeed somewhat similar, but it was normal for Dongfang Shuo to think they were not alike.
This situation happens in modern times: some people think that celebrity A looks like celebrity B, but there are also a large number of people who can't tell the resemblance no matter how hard they look.
Eyes and feelings are sometimes very strange things.
Runxue said: "After thinking about it carefully, I feel that they are indeed somewhat similar. Since many people think so, maybe they really are similar. Your Highness, why do you think Xie Lin looks similar to the prince? They are not related by blood."
How could he know this? Dongfang Shuo was puzzled and looked at Runxue. As he looked at her, his eyes suddenly widened.
Runxue pressed his lips with her index finger and said, "Shhh," "Even if things are not what we want, we can make them that way."
Dongfang Shuo took over her words: "In this case, the Queen and Xie Lin will have no chance to survive, and even the Crown Prince will be affected. I'm afraid he will lose his position as Crown Prince."
The couple looked at each other and laughed.
