Chapter 1196: Relatives Twenty-Five
Xu Mengling was in a trance when she heard the report from the palace people. Is the Emperor really going to die?
Sadness welled up in my heart, but I was quickly suppressed by hatred and ambition.
"Swing."
Xu Mengling saw the emperor lying on the bed, his face was as white as if he had applied a layer of powderβand indeed powderβhe had long since lost the demeanor he had when they first met. The years are like knives, and they have all changed.
Xu Mengling walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said in a cold voice: "What do you want to tell me about me?" β
The emperor stared at Xu Mengling's eyes, there was no love in them, only impatience.
The emperor smiled bitterly and spoke, "Did you give me the poison on my body?" β
Xu Mengling was surprised: "You actually knew that you were poisoned?!" β
Emperor: "...... My own body, how can I not know? Not to mention ......"
A hint of mockery flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Do you think your ability can completely control the palace?" β
Not to mention him and the Queen Mother, even the other palace concubines, Xu Mengling can't control it.
Those palace concubines are all well-educated girls from important ministers and families, and their abilities are much higher than Xu Mengling. Even if they are snubbed by the emperor, they still have their own power in the palace. Although small, it is enough to protect oneself and spread the word outside the palace.
In fact, there were already courtiers outside the palace who already knew the news of the emperor's poisoning, and when Lord Su contacted the ministers of the court, those ministers took the initiative to lean over. They don't want Xu Zhiming and Xu Mengling to succeed in ascending to the throne.
Xu Mengling was angry: "You look down on me? β
Emperor: "I know better than anyone else what you are capable of. The palace has the current peace, it's not your credit, but Xu Zhiming sent someone in to help you do it, right? β
Xu Mengling's face turned pale: "Hmph, since you look down on me, why did you marry me in the first place?" β
"Because I was blind at the time."
"I am the blind man, and I have chosen you to be my husband. I shouldn't have been in the palace in the first place. If I don't enter the palace, I will still be simply wanton, not a resentful woman like I am now. β
"I don't feel sorry for you, but you ask too much for yourself, and you become a resentful woman because of yourself. You are not capable of taking on the responsibilities of the empress, and you still ask me for this and that, and you don't respect me as an emperor at all. You never knew how much pressure I was putting on, and now you're blaming me. Don't you think you're too selfish? β
"No woman will accept that her husband has another woman."
"Why not? You go and ask the other women in the palace if they will accept that their husbands have other women? They can accept it, why can't you? Do you think you're special? But what is so special about you? You're just relying on me to love you. You're too selfish. β
The emperor accused Xu Mengling sentence after sentence, and spit out all his depression over the years.
Xu Mengling couldn't listen to these words at all, she stubbornly thought that the emperor was sorry for her, so that she would not feel guilty for poisoning the emperor.
The emperor knew Xu Mengling best, and he saw through her thoughts at this moment.
"Hehe......" The emperor couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xu Mengling frowned and asked.
The emperor smiled: "Xu Zhiming is about to enter the palace, right?" Does he want to see my death with his own eyes so that he can receive the fruits of victory? β
"Now that you know everything, why bother asking." Xu Mengling said, "You can go with peace of mind, I will raise our child well and make him an excellent king." β
"Did you know that the child you had was not your own flesh and blood?"
"What?" Xu Meng was shocked, she really didn't know that the child had been replaced.
The emperor laughed mockingly: "Your good brother exchanged his son for the daughter you born, and wants to use his son to ascend to the throne and become the emperor himself." How long do you think you, the Queen Mother, can do it? β
"......" Xu Mengling was silent, but he did not look like he was deeply affected by what the emperor thought.
"My brother is at least better than you when he becomes emperor." Xu Mengling said, "My eldest brother has no choice but to change the child. If I don't give birth to a son, how can I become a queen mother? I believe that the eldest brother will definitely return my child to me when he ascends to that position. β
"Good sister, my brother will definitely return the child to you." Xu Zhiming walked into the room as he spoke, "Don't worry, your child is well taken care of, I'll let your sister-in-law take care of her personally." β
"Brother." Xu Mengling stood up and asked, "When can I see my child?" β
"Soon, when the emperor is on the road, I will have the child sent in to reunite with you. Of course, I have to grieve you for a while, and you can't let people know about your mother-daughter relationship for the time being. β
"Brother, don't worry, I'm measured."
The two brothers and sisters, a brother and sister, were considerate of each other, which made the emperor sneer lightly with disdain.
Xu Zhiming heard that he looked at the emperor with peace of mind, bowed down, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has come to see you off." β
Emperor: "If you let me go, I will leave, then I will have no face." β
Xu Zhiming: "If you go or not, you can't help the emperor." β
Emperor: "I can't help you. β
Xu Zhiming's eyebrows furrowed, the emperor's face was very ugly, but his spirit did not look very bad, and he didn't want to return to the light......
Xu Zhiming had a bad premonition in his heart, and his face immediately changed.
The emperor noticed the change in his face, smiled, and sat up from the bed.
"I did this to catch you into the palace, and it's too late for you to find out now. Don't expect the commander of the forbidden army and the commander of the city defense battalion that you bought, they should all be arrested by your uncle's people at this time. β
"It turns out that Master Su has returned to Beijing?" The premonition came true, Xu Zhiming's face became even more ugly, but he was indeed a strong man, and he understood that his situation did not beg for mercy or other excesses, but was very calm.
"Is the omission of Master Su the biggest reason for my failure?"
"Hmph." The Emperor snorted coldly.
Xu Zhiming smiled: "Is the emperor a child who doesn't grow up?" Rely on elders all your life. You were in a hurry to get rid of Master Su, and now you are anxious to ask someone else. What an irony! β
The emperor's face became extremely ugly, and the white powder on his face could not hide the changing black.
"Xu Zhiming, I want to break your body into ten thousand pieces."
Xu Zhiming hehe: "Kechen doesn't want to die in the hands of the emperor." β
Emperor: "Do you have a choice?" β
"Absolutely." Xu Zhiming smiled at the emperor, "I am in charge of my life." β
After speaking, black blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
He committed suicide by poisoning.
The toxin was very strong and the poison was very fast, and Xu Zhiming collapsed after saying the previous sentence and lost his life.
"Ahh
The emperor looked at the woman he once loved with cold eyes, and said coldly, "You can go and accompany him now." β
