The woman in front of her already knew that they had poisoned the queen herself, so there was no need to hide it. Although she didn't know what this woman wanted to do, Concubine Zhao calmed down inexplicably, and simply told the whole thing.
Concubine Shu favored the harem and had a deep grudge with the queen. Two months ago, the queen got the fungus condensation out of nowhere, and found Concubine Zhao with irritated words, wanting her to poison Concubine Shugui. Concubine Zhao has always lived alone in the harem, and she only has some dealings with Concubine Shu, so it is naturally easy to poison her, but Concubine Zhao refused. Later, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Shu talked about it, and Concubine Shu wanted to design the queen with this, and a huge conspiracy was born.
Qin Leling thought that the reason why Concubine Zhao didn't want to harm Concubine Shu in the first place to relieve her hatred was that Concubine Shu could get the favor of Chu Han for the throne, which she couldn't do herself. It's just that...... At the beginning, how could Concubine Zhao bear to watch her son being taken away.
In the palace, even if any lady is no longer favored, she has the right to raise her own children to grow up.
"Do you know, the happiest thing for a child is to stay by his parents' side, why did you agree to let Concubine Shu raise Chu Han?"
Since coming here, Qin Leling has a deep experience, and when she first walked through, God knows how much she misses her own mother. Since the meaning to the master cannot be seamlessly connected with the little girl, even though the masters are very good to her, they are always flustered for no reason. She once united with her senior brother to rely on the second master to call her mother, but the second master was very angry for some reason and did not allow anyone to call her mother.
Concubine Zhao said sadly: "I made a big mistake back then and let go of the emperor's beloved woman without permission, which made him resentful to this day." If I hadn't been pregnant at the time, I'm afraid that I wouldn't have been a concubine in the palace for a long time. β
A tear flowed down from Zhao Concubine: "He sued you sΓΉ his name is Chu Han, this symbolizes the humble name and he is willing to sue sΓΉ others ......"
Chu Han is really his name, it turns out that he didn't lie to us at first, Qin Leling remembered that day next to the rockery, his face was firm, but he was slightly sad, and said, "My name is Chu Han." β
"I made a mistake, but I hurt Han'er." Concubine Zhao's eyes were empty, as if she had returned to the year when she was born Chu Han.
"On the day of the cold day, it was the weather in October, but suddenly it snowed heavily, and it was unusually cold. The emperor was angry with me and became angry with Han'er, and he refused to even choose a name for him, so I called him Han'er by the way. Later, when Han'er was three years old, according to the practice of the Yue Dynasty, the prince was to be crowned king at the age of three, and the emperor casually sealed the king of Han, just like me, the concubine Zhao with the surname, which is a great irony. β
Concubine Zhao burst into tears, this is a real sadness as a mother, Qin Leling took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Zhao continued: "This matter has become a laughing stock in the palace for a while, the emperor does not take his son as a prince, and the eunuchs and palace maids will naturally not be afraid of his identity, and everyone dares to come and bully. Sometimes it's hard to get through three meals a day, but poor my Han'er is still so young, how can I endure such suffering. β
I still remember that Han'er was four years old that year, and the cold winter made the food freeze stiff, so she held Han'er tightly in her arms and cried anxiously.
Han'er stretched out her little palm to wipe away her tears, and said, "Mother, don't cry, Han'er is not afraid of the cold." The mother insisted and waited for Han'er to grow up to protect her mother. β
At that time, he was just a four-year-old child, and he had experienced hardships. At that time, she secretly swore that if she had the opportunity, she would never let Han'er suffer like this with her.
"Later, Concubine Shu took a fancy to Han'er, and she asked the emperor to re-give Han'er a new name, and did many things that I couldn't do. Such a mother is ten million times better than me, no matter what the reason, as long as she can let Han'er grow up safely, I will be satisfied. β
No matter what Concubine Zhao has done before, she is a great mother.
Qin Leling said gloomily: "Now that Chu Han has grown up, Concubine Shu has begun to worry that he will not be controlled, afraid that he will be your son again one day, so she wants to put you to death." β
Concubine Zhao said lightly: "After all, I am Han'er's biological mother, if I don't die for a day, Concubine Shu will not be at ease for a day." I don't blame her, she has worked hard to teach Han'er for more than ten years, and she is naturally worried that she will end up in vain, and her hard work for more than ten years will be in vain. β
Zhao Concubine has nothing to love, and no one forced her to hang herself today. But she knew very well that only when she died, Concubine Shu would help Chu Han without scruples.
Qin Leling looked at the severed white silk on the ground and said, "Do you know, after you were beaten into the cold palace, Chu Han knelt outside the Heart Cultivation Hall for a day and a night, wanting the emperor to be gracious. β
Qin Leling still remembers that night, she carried him back from a coma, his brows furrowed, and he whispered, "Mother......"
Her heart softened suddenly, and she reached out to caress the uneven brow. This man must not be as cold as he looks.
Concubine Zhao was greatly shaken, and her hands were tightly clenched to protect her heart, sad and happy.
Qin Leling held Concubine Zhao's hands and slowly stretched them out, "Actually, I already knew that Concubine Shu was poisoned, and when Concubine Shu was poisoned for the second time, Chu Han came to me, and he asked me not to sue anyone." Maybe he found out about something, but he didn't have time to stop it. β
Qin Leling paused and said, "He values you so much, and he wants to protect you so carefully." It was you, his mother, who had supported him for so many years. If you leave, how do you let him go in the future, so many years of forbearance will collapse. β
Qin Muqing never knew that Ling'er knew Chu Han so well. It's only been ten days, and Ling'er, who has always been playful, can be so interested in a person, maybe even she doesn't know that she has a person in her heart.
Concubine Zhao was stunned, thinking deeply about Qin Leling's words, she was not a good mother, if she died, would Han'er be sad for her, she didn't know that she was so important to Han'er.
Qin Leling looked at Concubine Zhao and said sincerely: "So, for the sake of Chu Han, you must also live strongly." β
The woman in front of her had picturesque eyebrows, and the worry in her eyes was real. No matter what purpose she came for, Concubine Zhao believed that she had absolutely no malicious intent.
After a long time, Concubine Zhao said solemnly: "Thank you, I will not commit suicide again." Han'er is very happy to have a friend like you. β
Friend, Qin Leling smiled and didn't speak.
Bidding farewell to Concubine Zhao, the two came to the place where they came in and went out from here.
The woman in white at the root of the wall was still struggling to pick up the soil, letting the senior brother hide in the dark, Qin Leling went over and said, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing digging the soil?" β
The woman raised her mud-stained face and thought for a moment, "I'm going out." β
"What are you going out for?"
The woman shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm going out, I'm going out." β
After saying that, he turned around and continued digging.
Walking along the base of the wall, there were many large pits that had been filled, and on top of them were piles of empty earth, which must have been discovered and covered by the guards who guarded the gate during the day.
The woman in white looked focused, and kept muttering in her mouth, as if she was going to dig into the ground.
