Chapter 757 - Bribery
Jing Yuan spoke sharply, and asked domineeringly, he was tired of this woman for a long time, if she kept to herself, he could still give her a chance, but she wanted to hurt Chu Xia again and again, and he would definitely not tolerate her.
Zhao Meng'er's face was pale, she was really scared this time, she thought that the concubine would support her, but she didn't expect that even the trump card of the concubine would be invalid, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged, "The emperor atoned for his sins, and the concubine did all this for you. And although the concubine sent someone to kill Li Ji, she didn't do anything to the queen's mother, that was a misunderstanding, if the concubine knew that she was not Li Ji, how dare she do it?"
A touch of gloom flashed in Jing Yuan's eyes, and Sen smiled coldly: "Zhao Meng'er, do you know that I hate self-righteous women the most, take precautions? Do you know that I will be bewitched by her? And the queen's business, even if you don't know, can you just do it? When will it be your turn to call the shots in this harem?"
Zhao Meng'er trembled, her eyes showed a look of horror, no matter how powerful she was, she must be a defenseless weak woman, how could she not be afraid in front of the supreme king?
"Your Majesty, Concubine ......"
"Shut up! There is no room for you to quibble in front of me. Come! The imperial concubine is ruthless, kills innocents indiscriminately, insults the dignity of the royal family, and takes them down, puts them in prison, and waits for them to be released."
No one dared not listen to the emperor's words, and soon two guards came in, one left and one right, and Zhao Meng'er was about to leave.
Zhao Meng'er didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless, and looked at the concubine for help, "Concubine Niangniang, please save Meng'er, right?" Meng'er really knew she was wrong."
The concubine glanced at the emperor in embarrassment, she was thinking of helping the concubine at first, because she said that this person named Chu Xia was a demon girl, but since she met Chu Xia, she changed her opinion, because her appearance was not charming at all, but very pure. Especially her way of being in the world, treating people and things, no matter which aspect she is qualified to be the queen. So now she doesn't know what to do, seeing the emperor's indifferent expression, the words came to her mouth and swallowed again, pretending that she hadn't heard anything. Since the emperor's attitude has been so clear, she doesn't want to go against the emperor.
Zhao Meng'er found that she was really betrayed and separated now, and there was more resentment in her eyes when she looked at Chu Xia, "Chu Xia, you demon girl, what kind of demon method did you use to confuse the emperor? Others don't know your true face, but they can't deceive me, your appearance hasn't changed a little in ten years, you are clearly a goblin, and you are still pretending to be a ghost here, God will definitely accept you...... Poof......"
Before she finished scolding, a palm wind struck, Jing Yuan only used thirty percent of his strength, if it wasn't for the fear of dirtying the "Huanyi Palace", he really wanted to kill that woman with one palm. She dared to scold Chu Xia for being a demon girl, even a demon girl would not be able to tell her nonsense, if Chu Xia was allowed to leave him because of this, he would definitely break her body into pieces.
"Zhao Meng'er, I warned you, don't challenge my limits again! If I hear insults against the Empress again, don't blame my men for being ruthless."
watched the thin body of the imperial concubine fly out diagonally, hit the wall and bounce back, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Everyone exclaimed, especially those subordinates, all of them turned pale with fright, trembling and shrunk to the side.
The concubine's face turned pale, she didn't expect the emperor to be so angry. Chu Xia's eyes narrowed, but she didn't say anything, this woman is not worthy of sympathy at all, when she hurts others, have you ever thought that there will be such an encounter today?
The subordinates of the Ximeng Palace wanted to go over to help, but when they saw the anger on the emperor's face, they all chose Mingzhe to protect themselves. The people of "Huanyi Palace" are even more gloating in their hearts, thinking that this woman also has today, and she really deserves it.
"Your Majesty...... You can't do this to me, I'm doing all this because you ......" Because the action just now was too violent, the gauze on Zhao Meng'er's face slid down, revealing a face full of scars, which made people dare not look directly. Spit out a mouthful of blood, and she felt the pain in her body, which was not as good as the pain in her heart. This man, whether he is sincere or not, has loved and connived at her after all, how can he be so ruthless?
In the eyes of the emperor, there was no trace of tenderness for her, only disgust. The cold voice sounded, like a Shura in hell, which made people tremble in their hearts.
"Zhao Meng'er, you really want me to know for yourself
Are you? If so, I can fulfill you."
Zhao Meng'er's eyes flashed with pain and despair. She is really desperate, all the waiting, paying, it turned out to be her own wishful thinking, is it really sad?
wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty, you are really ruthless? I am ruthless in what I say, and I deserve death. That's all nonsense, you're just trying to please her. Speaking of killing, Your Majesty, I'm afraid your hands have already been stained with blood? And Chu Xia, do you dare to say that she has not killed anyone, she is innocent?"
"Yes, I've killed people, and not just by directing people like you, I'm doing it myself. Because those people deserve to die, and if I don't kill them, they will kill me. But what's wrong with Liji? Does she deserve to die? Or did she do something unreasonable? She just looks like me, that's why she was killed. Speaking of which, the person you are going to deal with is me, so why should you implicate the innocent?" Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Chu Xia stood up and fought back.
Jing Yuan walked to Chu Xia's side, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and said calmly, "That's right, Chu Xia did kill people in order to save me back then, but if it wasn't for her courage at that time, it would be impossible to have Jing Yuan at this time."
"The emperor said well, if there was no Chu Xia, there would be no you today, so have you ever thought about whether you can get to where you are today without our Zhao family?" Zhao Meng'er seemed to be out of the way, and even ignored the taboo.
When the concubine heard this, she couldn't help but change her face, and said in a low voice, "Meng'er, don't talk nonsense."
Jing Yuan's anger, which had been calmed down, was suddenly stained with another layer of frost, and even Chu Xia, who was next to him, felt a cold air coming out of his bones, and she not only shrank a little.
"Is the Imperial Concubine accusing me of being ungrateful?"
The cold words spit out, and Zhao Meng'er was stunned, as if she realized what she had said. But the words have already been spoken, and even if it is too late to regret it.
At this time, Jin Fu bowed down and walked in, and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong asks to see you."
When Zhao Meng'er heard this, she seemed to see the dawn of hope, her father must have come to save her, great. Just as he was thinking about looking up and seeing the emperor's angry expression, he hurriedly lowered his head again.
Jing Yuan's deep eyes flashed a dark, and he said in a deep voice, "Let him in."
"Yes." Jin Fu bowed down and withdrew to pass the word, but he began to beat the drum in his heart, the emperor had always been polite to Lord Zhao in the past, but today it seems to be different.
Soon Zhao Qifeng stepped in, before coming to Huanyi Palace, he already knew in his heart that with his daughter's temper, he would definitely not be willing to apologize. I am afraid that it will backfire if I anger the emperor, but now that I look at it, as expected, it seems that even the concubine is deflated. Seeing her daughter's pale face and bleeding from the corners of her mouth, her heart suddenly tightened. But he didn't care about comforting his daughter, so he was busy kneeling on the man sitting on his knees and kowtowing respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the little girl has offended the emperor by ignorance, please atone for the emperor's sins, forgive her once, it is the old minister who has no way to teach, and the minister is willing to atone for her."
Chu Xia saw that Zhao Qifeng at this time was no longer the personable demeanor of ten years ago, and now his temples were white, and there seemed to be shallow wrinkles on his forehead, which was really unforgiving. But what touched her heart was his true affection for his daughter, a close relative who was connected by flesh and blood, knowing that she had done something wrong, and was willing to bear everything for her. new
When I saw him, I thought of my father, after my mother left, he supported a family by himself, although his love for her was not on his lips, but now that he thinks about it, the bits and pieces of his love in life are everywhere.
Jing Yuan sat majestically in the middle, looked at Zhao Qifeng who was kneeling on the ground, inexplicable emotions flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Zhao Guogong, I can understand your love for your daughter, but not every time you can bear it for her, do you know what she has done?" Let's not talk about these for the time being, I believe that you have heard of what she did in the harem, right? Do you want to send someone else to testify?"
Zhao Qifeng was stunned, and his face was not so good-looking, it seemed that the emperor was really angry this time. After calming down for a moment, he said, "What the emperor taught me is that Meng'er is arrogant and domineering, and they are all arrogant and arrogant. I heard that the emperor was going to build a dam in the south of the Yangtze River, and the minister was willing
Go all out to support the great cause of the emperor."
This is clearly bribing the emperor, Zhao Qifeng has money, all his financial resources have supported her daughter over the years, and sometimes he is also worried, if one day he is gone, or the financial resources are not enough, what will happen to his daughter?
Jing Yuan naturally understood what he meant, didn't he just rely on his own money? He thought he couldn't live without him and needed his financial support. Indeed, from his revenge to the current ascension to the throne as emperor over the years, Zhao Qifeng has given him a lot of help. Although he has worked hard to cultivate his power and financial resources, he still can't compare with him.
He knew that he couldn't underestimate Zhao Qifeng, his willingness to pay was already a concession, if he was forced to hurry, with his huge financial resources, Donghua would definitely be paralyzed, and if other countries took advantage of this to make trouble, it would be in danger. This is also the reason why he has tolerated Zhao Meng'er all these years. Similarly, she also knew that she didn't dare to do anything to her, so she became more and more arrogant, and now she stretched out her hand to Chu Xia's head. She killed many harem concubines in the past, and he should turn a blind eye to it, but he can't turn a blind eye to Chu Xia anymore.
