Chapter 158 The Truth

When the screams came, everyone was startled, they came back to their senses, and rushed to where the sound came from.

The Fengyi Hall was pitch-black, with no red walls or green tiles to be seen, only the owls on the roof still standing there vaguely. The hall, which was brightly lit in the past, looked quiet and strange in the darkness. Even the osmanthus trees in the courtyard were cold Branches protruded abruptly under the bright moonlight, casting countless weird silhouettes on the blue brick floor.

Song Ren and Ruan Yunqing had just stepped up the stone steps when they heard another burst of laughter from Fengyi Hall.The maniacal laughter followed the screams, and everyone was even more frightened when they heard it. They hurried up the steps and went straight to the main hall.

In the main hall of Fengyi Hall, there was only one solitary lamp lit, and the dim light cast a gloomy chill on the faces of the people in the room. Empress Wei was holding a sharp knife in her hand, Concubine Shu Gui was lying on the ground, Yao Yao Zhu crouched beside Concubine Shu, while Song Ke sat on the phoenix seat in the middle of the main hall with a face full of surprise, staring blankly at his mother and the absurdity in the room.

Zheng Changchun was like a wooden clay sculpture, his face was expressionless, his eyes were like dead fish, staring straight ahead, even if Empress Wei held a sharp knife in front of him and stabbed the knife in Concubine Shu's heart, Zheng Changchun didn't seem to see it , silently guarding the door.

Song Ruan stepped into the room, Zheng Changchun turned around, bowed to Song Ruan as he did many times in the past, and called him His Highness the Crown Prince.Everyone in the room was attracted by Empress Wei, even Song Ren came in, followed by thousands of elite soldiers, they seemed to have never heard of it.

Zheng Changchun didn't even summon his own soldiers to resist, he knew in his heart that it was over, everything was over.This world already belongs to Song Ren, and they are just jumping around in this hall for a while longer.

Empress Wei held a bloody sharp knife in her hand. She stood in front of Concubine Shu, smiling as she watched blood spill from the corner of her mouth, her chest heaved and her breath was chaotic, and she curled up in pain. Will die in front of myself.

Years of resentment finally found an outlet, Queen Wei's beautiful face was full of madness, she couldn't help smiling, and turned her eyes from Concubine Shu to Yao Zhu.

Liu eyebrows raised lightly, Empress Wei seemed to be about to do something fun, with a light smile between her words, her red lips parted slightly, and said softly: "It's your turn!"

While speaking, she had already raised the sharp knife in her hand, Empress Wei's expression suddenly changed, her face was full of ruthlessness, she raised the knife in her hand, and stabbed viciously at Yao Zhu.

Yao Zhu was so frightened that he closed his eyes, waiting to die.Unexpectedly, as soon as she closed her eyes, Song Ju led someone in, stepped forward quickly, grabbed Queen Wei's wrist, took the sharp knife from her hand, and threw it on the ground.

"Queen! What are you doing?"

Empress Wei was still immersed in the excitement and joy of revenge, and when someone took the knife away, she immediately flew into a rage, turned around and slapped Song Ren, and shouted: "You are so courageous! You don't back down! "

Song Bin received a slap, and half of his face was swollen immediately. He was stunned for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "The queen mother calms down for the time being, it is better to speak slowly if you have anything to say. As a queen, you hold a sharp knife in the harem. How decent is it to harm a concubine and let outsiders see it!"

As soon as Song Ru said a word, Concubine Shu Gui who fell on the ground burst into laughter.She pointed at Song Ru, and she was out of breath from laughing, her chest, which was already so breathless, became weaker and weaker, she couldn't help coughing, and spit out several mouthfuls of blood one after another.

Concubine Shu Gui felt cold, seeing that her life was not long, how could she be willing to die like this.He hated Empress Wei in his heart, and was even more unwilling to give up this last chance to take revenge on her.

"You still call her Queen Mother? Haha..." Concubine Shu Gui couldn't stop laughing, as if she heard some big joke, she said to Song Ru with a smile: "You call this woman Queen Mother? She has treated you harshly all these years , hurt you several times, almost put you to death, have you ever thought about why?"

This is Song Ren's heart disease for many years. After Concubine Shu asked, Song Ren looked at Empress Wei. How many times he wanted to ask his mother what he did wrong to make her hate him so much, not to mention being affectionate and loving. Compared with Song Ke, even Sun Jieyu's thirteenth prince, when his mother saw her, was much warmer to him.

What kind of humbling and asking for warmth, Song Bin has long since given up hope, there is no father and son in the Tian family, and Song Bin has long been accustomed to his mother's thin affection. Hearing Concubine Shu Gui asked him at this time, aroused Song Bin's doubts that had been hidden in his heart for many years, and he stared straight at him. Looking at Concubine Shu, she couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by that?"

Concubine Shu Guifei glanced at Song Yi, and couldn't help but sneered, she asked back: "His Royal Highness, have you forgotten that you were poisoned by a huge poison many years ago, and you almost died."

"The truth of that matter has long been revealed. Xiao Changfu was instructed by Concubine De..."

Before Song Ren finished speaking, Concubine Shu laughed again, "Concubine De? That woman is so stupid and stupid. It's ridiculous to be used to think that she is the mastermind behind it! Xiao Changfu is the chief eunuch of Likun Palace. , In this palace, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person. He is full of food, or he has nothing to do. It is not appropriate to leave a good eunuch in charge. He has to carry his master behind his back and rush to help Concubine De These outrageous acts?"

Concubine Shu supported Yao Zhu and struggled to sit up. She managed to breathe a sigh of relief and secretly looked at Song Bin's face.I saw Song Bin's whole body was stiff, his fists were clenched tightly, and his face was dark and unclear. He must have been emotionally surging, and he had listened to his own words in his heart.

I couldn't help but feel happier, and even the pain on my chest eased a lot.Concubine Shu Gui had recovered a little bit at this time, she felt better, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, it could be seen that she was short of breath, wheezing when she spoke, her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to die.

Seeing it in her eyes, Yao Zhu couldn't help shedding tears, she persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's rest for a while, and then speak slowly!"

Concubine Shu Gui gave Yao Zhu a hard push, and said angrily, "You useless thing, you still have the face to persuade me here! If it weren't for you, who can't even win a man's heart, we would have killed Wei Jiang, a lowly maid, a long time ago. Killed, how can I wait until today, and end up in such a miserable situation!"

Yao Zhu mourned and wept, causing Concubine Shu to stagger, then quickly climbed up, supported Concubine Shu and cried: "Your Majesty is scolding, don't be angry, Yao Zhu will just listen to you from now on. "

She spoke submissively and softly, choked up between words, and was close to herself, and she didn't hate herself even for those harsh words.

Concubine Shu Gui's tears also rolled down, she and Yao Zhu grew up together, she said that she was a servant girl who was more caring than her own sister.Yao Zhu knows the secret that even her husband and son don't know.Concubine Shu Gui has never been suspicious of Yao Zhu, because she knows that Yao Zhu will never betray her, just like at this time, even her own son doesn't care about her life, but Yao Zhu is still by her side as always, Never give up.

It’s been more than 30 years, and most of my life has passed, I’ve lived in the cold palace, and I’ve survived year after year. Both myself and Yao Zhu have survived from youth to gray hair. Their life is really wronged Well, for the throne, these women are fighting to the death, it's really worthless to think about it.

The seeds of hatred had already been planted, and the struggle seemed to be engraved into the flesh and blood. Concubine Shu Gui was crying, and her hatred for Empress Wei grew deeper in her heart.Her eyes were burning, and with the joy and excitement of revenge, she looked at Empress Wei who was standing aside, as if infinite strength had been added to her whole body.

"The empress ordered Xiao Changfu to poison you." Concubine Shu Gui said to Song Ren again: "Concubine De is just a cover for the public. She was young and vigorous, arrogant and domineering, relying on the emperor to favor her, she lived in the palace. She behaves mischievously, as long as she doesn't like it, she will try her best to harm him, and Zhao Shurong back then died at her hands."

Glancing at Song Ren, Concubine Shu continued: "Concubine De bribed Xiao Changfu, she just wanted to plant an eyeliner in Likun Palace in case of emergencies. At that time, she was not so courageous as to poison the prince. , and Xiao Changfu, as the Queen's personal entourage, would not have dared to take money from Concubine De and do things for her without the order of Queen Wei. Concubine De's money, defrauding Concubine De's trust, while letting him slowly reveal to Concubine De that spices can kill people, that stupid woman is really stupid, but she was coaxed into thinking with just a few words, and she was hit Not to mention the queen's trap, but instead gave a large sum of money to Xiao Changfu who harmed her, and asked him to harm the prince..."

Concubine Shu Gui was out of breath, and after a short break, she said again: "You know the rest of the matter, Yuan Youjiang, who made poison from spices, is dead, and he left a confession letter before his death. On the letter Half-truth, half-false, the collusion with Xiao Changfu is true, but being instigated by Concubine De is false, he concealed the real culprit behind this incident, because this man, he is..."

Before Concubine Shu Guifei finished speaking, Song Ke went crazy.He listened for a long time, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became. Every word Shu Guifei said was like a steel knife, piercing Song Ke's heart hard.He couldn't listen any longer, jumped down from the high platform, rushed to Concubine Shu Gui in one step, and shouted sharply: "You nonsense! Nonsense! How could my mother harm my brother? She is her own flesh and blood, no matter how vicious she is! , and I won’t even let my own son go. Unless my brother is not..."

Before he could say a word, Song Ke was startled by what he was going to say later, so he took a few steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Tiger poison does not eat offspring, unless Song Ju is not his mother's biological son at all, Song Ke would never believe that his mother would do such a cruel thing to his brother.

Can't help being frightened and angry, Song Ke gritted his teeth and shouted, "What evidence do you have to prove that my mother is the real murderer? I think you are clearly dying to provoke the relationship between our mother and son." You vicious woman, I will kill you!" Picking up the sharp knife from the ground, he slashed at Concubine Shu Gui.

Concubine Shu raised her head and stared at Song Ke coldly, without even the slightest intention of avoiding it. With a sneer on her face, she sneered, and said, "I came up with the idea of ​​poisoning spices. And that Yuan You Jiang also thought of testing poison in spices after hearing Yao Zhu's words."
