Chapter 413 Things are revealed
"Cheng'er is right. He should have been the eldest son, and I was the queen. But you made Shen Yunwan the queen, and asked me to deceive the world and say that Cheng'er was the second prince. In fact, he is three months older than the eldest prince."
As soon as Concubine Rou finished speaking, the entire Yangxin Palace was shocked.
But she didn't care about everyone's expressions, and continued:
"I fell in love with the emperor and the queen before they got married, and we even had sex many times. But because my mother's family was weak, the emperor married the youngest daughter of Duke Shen."
"Back then, Duke Shen was powerful, and the emperor set his sights on his unmarried young daughter, but Duke Shen doted on his daughter."
He would never allow his daughter to be a concubine, and even required that the eldest son be born to Shen Yunwan. So in order to get the help of the old Duke Shen and successfully ascend the throne, the emperor sent me to the manor. "
"The Emperor once promised me that he would make me his empress, so he had no objection to my mother and I living on the farm for three years. With servants to serve us, we can get by."
"As long as I do my best to raise Cheng'er, I know that one day I will be taken into the palace, and I am mentally prepared."
"But I didn't expect that this matter was discovered. The Queen Mother learned that I was her distant relative, so she bypassed the Emperor and sent someone to take me back to the capital..."
"Fortunately, God has a good eye. Shen Yun's late-born son, Prince Sui, is a stutterer."
"Now that the truth has been revealed, I will no longer hide anything."
"Cheng'er is the eldest son. According to etiquette, he should be the heir to the throne..."
"Bah! Concubine Rou, you are worthy of being the queen? Just shut up!"
Before Concubine Rou could finish her words, the old emperor couldn't help but interrupt her with a swear word.
He stared with anger and disgust on his face: "I was indeed young and ignorant back then, and I made a big mistake, but how did you climb onto my bed and get pregnant? Don't you know it in your heart?"
"What did I promise you? I would let the princess give birth to a son first, and then I would allow you to get pregnant."
"But you, a cunning woman, actually took advantage of yourself and secretly vomited the contraceptive soup, and secretly got pregnant with my child."
"I didn't bother with you back then. I turned a blind eye and didn't punish you. I even doted on you. This was a great blessing to you, but you still framed the Queen Mother and asked her to send someone to take you back to the palace."
"I don't care about these things, but what you and your son have done in the past two years has become more and more excessive. Today you even want to kill the king and seize the throne."
"If I spare you and your son today, how can I be the emperor of Donglin?"
The emperor looked at Concubine Rou and her son with a gloomy face and his tone was as cold as ice.
His eyes revealed disappointment and anger, as if he wanted to stab Concubine Rou to death.
The atmosphere around became tense and everyone felt the emperor's anger.
No one dared to speak, for fear of angering the emperor.
Concubine Rou, who was questioned by the emperor, lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, and she showed a look of fear.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please release Prince Kang. He is your biological son." Seeing that her situation was hopeless, Concubine Rou immediately played the sympathy card.
Unexpectedly, the emperor said: "I have given you many chances to mend your ways, but you have not repented and have become even worse. Now, what else do you have to say?"
"A cup of poisoned wine or a white water caltrop. It's up to you and your son to choose."
His voice rose higher and higher, carrying with it a majesty and an irresistible force.
Concubine Rou raised her head, a hint of fear flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Considering that I have followed you for more than 20 years..."
However, the emperor did not give him a chance and interrupted him directly, saying, "No need to say more! What you have done is unforgivable. I will punish you severely today!"
After saying this, the emperor slammed the bed board, scaring everyone.
"Someone is coming..."
The old emperor's voice had just sounded when he was interrupted by the evil king, "Wait!"
The old emperor frowned, turned to look at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Father, I have something else to ask Concubine Rou." said the Evil King.
The old emperor nodded in agreement.
The evil king looked at Concubine Rou, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and asked, "My Lady Concubine Rou, was it you who poisoned my mother and me a few years ago?"
After hearing this, Concubine Rou's face showed astonishment. Her eyes flickered and she looked up at the Evil King, seeming a little guilty.
After a moment of silence, Concubine Rou decided to admit it honestly: "Yes, the poison in you and your son was given by me, and it was a poison I found outside the Great Wall. We don't have it here."
When the evil king heard this answer, he suddenly became furious. He clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth: "Well, it turned out to be your doing!"
The old emperor also widened his eyes and looked at Concubine Rou in disbelief. He never expected that his most beloved concubine would do such a thing.
Seeing this, Concubine Rou quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I did this for you. I am afraid of losing favor."
After hearing this, the old emperor's face turned very ugly.
He glared at Concubine Rou, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.
"You are such a vicious woman! When the evil king suspected you, I defended you and said you could never do such a thing. Now it seems that I was really blind to believe you!"
The old emperor's voice trembled, and he seemed unable to control his emotions.
Concubine Rou was frightened by the old emperor's words and her face turned pale. She looked at the old emperor in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say a word.
The old emperor continued, "When I first met you, you were a gentle and kind woman, but I didn't expect you to be so cruel. For your own selfishness, you didn't hesitate to hurt innocent people, and even deceived me. I really misjudged you!"
His voice grew louder and louder until the entire palace echoed with his roar.
