Chapter 818: Killing one's own children is worse than beasts
"Baili Moxuan, the eldest prince?"
Heated discussions broke out in the crowd.
"Wasn't the eldest prince poisoned to death by Concubine Fang, the Third Prince's biological mother? The matter was investigated and executed by the Emperor. Not long after, the Third Prince also fell seriously ill and passed away. This happened fifteen years ago, why are you bringing it up again?"
"Could it be that there is another hidden story behind what happened back then?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room subconsciously looked at the emperor.
"The Queen killed the Imperial Concubine, and then she said there was another truth behind the First Prince's death. Could it be that the person who murdered the First Prince was Imperial Concubine Ming?"
At the back of the crowd, someone subconsciously expressed his inner guess. He didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a plum blossom dart suddenly appeared and flew straight towards his head.
When he thought he was dead, a hidden arrow suddenly appeared and shot the dart away.
The danger was over, and the man's stiff body completely softened, and his whole body was soaked in cold sweat.
Baili Moyan looked at the direction where the sleeve arrow came from and was filled with anger.
Xizhu, Lao Qi's people! I'll settle the score with them later!
He turned to the Queen and demanded, "Queen! The truth behind my eldest brother's death has long been known to the world! What grounds do you have to claim that my mother killed him?"
Baili Moyan walked closer to the queen again, but before he took two steps forward, Yang Cai was already standing in front of him.
"Ninth Prince, stop!"
Baili Moyan stared at him fiercely, murderous intent flooding his heart.
"Don't you believe it?"
The Queen glanced at him and then clapped her hands.
At this time, several people came from the backyard of the Western Chu Palace.
"Then, is that Concubine Qing?"
Someone secretly looked up and recognized the woman walking in front among the people.
He had met Concubine Qing once before at a palace banquet.
"Why is Concubine Qing here?"
"Concubines living deep in the harem cannot leave the palace without the emperor's order. How did Concubine Qing get out?"
When Emperor Qiwen saw Concubine Qing, the expression on his face became several times uglier than before.
He suddenly realized something.
It was as if I had walked into a trap that had been planned by someone without any preparation.
"I, Su Yi, can prove that the eldest prince's death was caused by Concubine Ming falsely accusing the queen of having an affair with a man outside her family! The emperor suspected that the eldest prince's bloodline was impure, so he secretly ordered Concubine Ming to poison him!"
"I am a maidservant of Concubine Ming, and I can prove that everything the Empress and Concubine Qing say is true!"
The sonorous words of the two people caused a storm in everyone's heart.
"The Emperor killed the eldest prince? How is this possible?"
He was the emperor's most beloved son, the only one he recognized as the "future crown prince"! How could this be?
Concubine Qing listened to the discussion and replied, "Nothing is impossible!"
"I heard this with my own ears. It was the Emperor and the Queen Mother who planned this murder together!"
"Not only that, Concubine Ming hid the poison in Concubine Fang's palace, framed her, and made Concubine Fang her scapegoat!"
After Concubine Qing finished speaking, another older maid spoke up, "I was a maid in Concubine Fang's palace in the past. I can prove that the eldest prince's death was a frame-up by Concubine Ming!"
As soon as these words were spoken, heated discussions broke out again in the crowd.
Some people doubted the authenticity of this incident, some questioned the truth of Concubine Qing's words, and some said that it was the Queen's infidelity that led to the tragedy...
But no one criticized the emperor for his coldness and ruthlessness!
"If it's true as Concubine Qing said, then wasn't the eldest prince's death caused by the queen's infidelity?"
"Yes! The Queen is the mother of a country, yet she dared to do such an unclean thing. The Emperor did not punish her, which was already the greatest respect for the Queen! But not only did the Queen not appreciate it, she also took the initiative to publicize this scandal to the world! Shouldn't the Queen be the one in the wrong?!"
"In this matter, the Emperor was the victim. He didn't punish the Empress because he was considering the greater good and enduring humiliation! But the two ladies showed no appreciation at all. They are simply heartless and ungrateful!"
When Emperor Qiwen heard those words, the corners of his sinister mouth curled up slightly, as if he was openly mocking the Queen and Concubine Qing's "useless efforts".
They wanted to use this incident to destroy him, but he was the Emperor Tianqi, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Even if he made a mistake, no one would dare to blame him.
That's what identity means!
However, it was obvious that the Queen and Concubine Qing did not see through this.
Shu He, standing behind, almost laughed out loud at these words.
Sure enough, what she had worried about came true.
The victim-blaming theory means that once chastity is involved, the person who is blamed must be the woman!
What’s more, the person opposite is the emperor!
"I have been with Noble Concubine Ming since I was little. I heard it with my own ears. The words that 'the Empress is unfaithful and the eldest prince's bloodline is impure' were all fabricated by Ming Fei to sow discord between the Emperor and the Empress!"
After he finished speaking, the courtyard fell into complete silence.
Emperor Qiwen didn't believe this at all. He said coldly, "Empress, you killed everyone in Ming Fei's palace, but only spared this one maid, just to let her clear your name?"
The queen looked at him with her hands behind her back. The love that once existed in her eyes was now filled with deep contempt.
"Baili Fengjue, I know that once you decided to give up on Xun'er, you will never believe in my innocence again."
"But why should you believe me, Su Wei?!"
"I am free, independent, and not dependent on anyone!"
"So, you can doubt whatever you want. After all, your heart is your own and no one else can control it!"
"I'm just curious, how do you feel about killing your own sons one after another?"
"How does it feel to be a person 'worse than an animal'?"
One after another, killing their own children, worse than beasts...
Are these words supposed to appear on the emperor?
The people kneeling below were shocked again, but the shock they had received today had already made them feel numb!
Why are they here to attend the wedding banquet today?
They were clearly here to visit the bloody Shura Field!!
"presumptuous!!"
An angry voice, like an alarm bell ringing in the air, resonated in everyone's heart without any warning.
Almost at the same time, everyone crouched down again and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Emperor Qiwen's tall body trembled slightly, and a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes because of the Queen's words.
Did she even know about that?
How can this be? !
