Chapter 631: Angry to death without paying for your life
After Li Ma woke up, she told her everything, "It was the Empress Dowager who put the medicine she gave me into Concubine Zhu's tea to make her condition worse. She also deliberately arranged for the two pregnant ladies to be close to Concubine Zhu in order to stimulate her with the children."
"I have told you everything. Every wrong has its perpetrator. Don't come looking for me. Don't kill me."
Nanny Li didn't know that Aoxue had also given her a hallucinogenic drug. She was a timid person to begin with.
Jiang Fenghua wondered, "The Empress Dowager hasn't returned to the palace for decades, how could she know so much about Zhu Zhenzhen's condition?"
Nanny Li looked at the depressed Grand Empress Dowager. She was going to die anyway, and it seemed that the Grand Empress Dowager could not save her.
The dagger in Aoxue's hand became heavier, "My queen asks you a question."
Nanny Li continued, "After the Empress left the Hengyang Palace, a group of people came. Among them was a woman wearing a veil. She was very beautiful. The Empress Dowager met that woman alone. I heard her subordinates call her Madam. Later, that person was sent to the northwest to meet the Empress Dowager. Later, I accompanied the Empress Dowager and that woman back to Shengjing."
Jiang Fenghua asked, "Is she the Concubine Su that the emperor mentioned?"
Xie Shang said: "Su Qingqing has returned to Shengjing again, no wonder King Kang has never seen her."
He added, "She came back to seek revenge on you. I suspect she was the one who caused the epidemic at Jishan Hall."
Jiang Fenghua remained silent. Xie Shang said that the demise of the Su family was designed by her, so Su Qingqing blamed all the mistakes on her.
He then turned to the Grand Empress Dowager and said, "The Grand Empress Dowager keeps saying that you are thinking about the Xie family's kingdom, but you have joined forces with outsiders to harm the Xie family's kingdom. No wonder my grandfather would rather make Qin Yinshuang the successor queen than you. I guess my grandfather must have seen that you are ambitious, so he is unwilling to make you the queen.
You have been planning for your whole life and thought that you would finally see the moon, but you didn't expect that you would be intercepted by another woman halfway, so you are unwilling to give up. You want to push Prince Kang to the throne. These are all your selfish motives, not for the sake of the Xie family. "
Xie Shang also knew these things from the Cheng family, but he also relied on guesswork and inference. He asked Thousand Faces Man to imitate a woman's voice, and he didn't expect that he could actually trick her out.
Jiang Fenghua added, "The late emperor was raised under Empress Yang's name and became the crown prince as a legitimate son. Fortunately, he was not raised under Concubine Sun's name, otherwise the Xie family's kingdom would have been ruined by Concubine Sun. She calls others vixens without even looking at her own character."
Jiang Fenghua has no manners at all when he speaks.
The Empress Dowager stared at Jiang Fenghua with her chest heaving with anger, and said angrily, "She seduced the emperor, she is a vixen, the emperor was bewitched by you, you are not a good thing either, Su Qingqing is right, you are a monster, it is all you questionable women who are causing trouble..."
The Empress Dowager wanted to stand up so much, but for some reason her body just couldn't move. She wanted to become the majestic Empress Dowager again instead of being laughed at by so many people.
Jiang Fenghua was not angry either. She started by saying, "When Emperor Shengzu was in power, he did not appoint you as his queen, which means the Empress Dowager was not destined to be a queen. When you meet Emperor Shengzu after your death, you may see him and Qin Yinshuang living together. The Empress Dowager should really learn the meaning of 'the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit'. You lost to Emperor Shengzu, you lost to Qin Yinshuang, and you still lost to Empress Yang. Haha, in the end you still lost to Emperor Huijing.
Oh, by the way, the Empress Dowager gave birth to Emperor Hui Jing but did not raise him. When he was alive, she quarreled with you and banished Prince Kang to the northwest because she knew that Prince Kang was your flesh and you would feel pain, so she poked you where it hurt the most.
Alas, he has no feelings for you and Prince Kang. He posthumously named you the Empress of Emperor Shengzu and bestowed you the title of Empress Dowager only because you gave birth to him. He was restrained by the ancestral system and dogma. Don't think of you as his mother. He hasn't seen you for thirty years because he doesn't want to see you. In his heart, the real mother is Empress Yang."
Jiang Fenghua's words are so poisonous that they can kill a mother's heart.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that her eyebrows were crooked. At such an old age, she was still thinking about seizing the throne for her youngest son, and even believed Su Qingqing's words to slander Jiang Fenghua. It would be God's fault if she didn't die.
After Jiang Fenghua finished speaking, everyone actually felt that what she said made sense. It was true that the late emperor longed for his mother's love, and it was also true that he hated his mother. The fact that he could not get his mother's love was just an obsession in his heart, because not being able to get it is what makes people obsessive.
Now that the person is dead, his obsession has disappeared. Jiang Fenghua, who had not lost her memory, helped Hui Jingdi to get back one point, and now that she has lost her memory, she has helped him get back another point.
Xie Kang saw that his mother seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant. He took out two identical tiger-head dolls and handed them to the Grand Empress Dowager: "You made one for your son. Brother Jing saw it and wanted it, so you made another one for him. He has kept it as a treasure. Mother, have you forgotten how it looked when you took it to the northwest and gave it to your son? You are also sad to see your son die, but why did you get involved with Su Qingqing again?"
"He is not as capable as Kang'er. If Kang'er were to govern the Great Zhou Kingdom, he would definitely create a different prosperous era. I want your father to see that the vixen he likes is a harm to the country!" The Empress Dowager still favored her youngest son.
"Mother, I have no complaints about handing the throne to Brother Jing. I don't think my son can manage the Xie family's kingdom as well as Brother Jing. Xie Jing has worked hard for the Xie family's kingdom all his life. If you really want to do good for the Xie family, you should let go of your obsession. He is gone and can no longer make you angry. The world now belongs to his son. Don't be obsessed with whether your son will become the emperor."
Then, Xie Kang suddenly knelt in front of Xie Shang and said, "Everything the Empress Dowager did was caused by me. I am willing to pay off all her debts. I have already retired from the court and will not have any delusions. Please forgive Minmin and Yun'er for their mistakes. It is the father's fault if the son does not teach well.
Emperor Jing did not deprive me of my princely title back then. I know he let me off because of our brotherly love. Now I ask the emperor to demote Xie Kang to a commoner, and Minmin and Yuner to concubines. I will take them back to the northwest and never return to Shengjing in this life."
The reason why Xie Kang was able to come back this time was also because of Xie Shang's order, otherwise he could not leave the northwest easily, otherwise he would be suspected of rebellion.
"Xie Yun embezzled 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver from the court, exacerbating the disaster in Qingzhou. He colluded with the vassal states. These accounts have not been settled yet, and we cannot let him go." Jiang Fenghua was unconvinced and said in a cold voice, "The Empress Dowager wants to disrupt the Great Zhou and stir up trouble in the harem. How can we let her go back to the northwest to live out her days just because she is related to the emperor?"
She then said to Prince Kang: "Prince Kang's mother is just a mother. Just one name, mother, can redeem all her sins. She is the honorable Empress Dowager, you are the honorable Prince Kang, your daughter is a princess, and your son is a prince. Ha! This is really ridiculous."
