So Chu Yi was not a sick person from the beginning, and has always been a top player.
And Wei Ruo and King Rui also knew each other a long time ago.
He was completely defeated.
Wei Jin also looked at Chu Lan and said: "My plan is not to seize the throne, nor is it for you, so you couldn't see through it before."
Chu Lan said: "Is there any difference?"
Wei Jin also said: "You should not take action against my father. If you kill the king and kill your father, we will always be on opposite sides."
Chu Lan whispered: "No, I should have taken action earlier, even if I still had the Qi family as my opponent at that time. Because at least at that time, he had not planned for you."
"Be it Han Jin, Tan Rufeng, or the edict passed down to you, all these are the ways he has paved for you. Without these, I may not lose to you today, and even if I do, it will not be like this. Law."
"He treats you with deep love, and for you he suppresses me and my mother and concubine. He is a good father to you, but not to me."
Chu Lan had no expression on his face when he said these words. He was very calm.
Then Chu Lan turned to look at Wei Ruo, with a sadness in his eyes that Wei Ruo couldn't understand. He asked Wei Ruo in a low voice: "Can you tell me now, why do you hate me so much?"
Wei Ruo looked at Chu Lan at this moment. His expression looked both painful and relieved. At this moment, he seemed to really just want an answer.
Perhaps you and I had enmity in the past life, so I instinctively feel disgusted when I see you in this life. Wei Ruo replied.
It may seem like a perfunctory answer, but it is the truth.
Chu Lan smiled and seemed to accept the answer: "Then I should be able to pay off this debt now."
Then before Wei Ruo could speak again, Chu Lan plunged the dagger in his hand into his own chest.
Everyone was shocked.
Wei Ruo looked at Chu Lan in disbelief.
At the moment of his death, Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo: "Maybe... what I love is not you as a person, but the time I spent in that yard. It was very peaceful and warm. There was no fighting, no plotting, and the people around me treated me... Only kindness
After finishing speaking, Chu Lan closed her eyes.
Han Jin immediately stepped forward to check.
Then he turned back to Wei Jin and shook his head.
Chu Lan...actually chose to commit suicide...
Wei Ruo looked at Chu Lan who fell on the ground, watching the blood flowing from his chest gradually dye the white mourning clothes red...
This scene only made Wei Ruo feel dazzled and did not feel any pleasure.
Suddenly, Wei Ruo felt that an unknown and suppressed thing in his heart dissipated.Following this, the feeling of disgust and fear towards Chu Lan went away.
Is this... the trace of consciousness left in this body by the original owner?
With the death of Chu Lan, has the original owner completely let go?
###
After all the dust settled, Wei Ruo returned to the harem.
Kunning Palace is already filled with imperial troops. They are here to eliminate the remnants of Qinglan's party.
Several of Concubine Hui's maids and eunuchs were captured, and the royal family members in the palace were now in a state of panic.
Seeing Wei Ruo come in, everyone's eyes showed awe and fear.
In just a few hours, the situation changed, the world changed hands, and everyone saw that Wei Ruo's expression also changed 180 degrees.
Everybody knelt down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
Wei Ruo stood in front of Concubine Hui again and looked at her calmly. There is no arrogance of the winner, no provocation and ridicule.
Concubine Hui was still sitting on the imperial concubine, her body trembling.
Seeing Wei Ruo come in, she lowered her eyes and murmured: "My son and I did not lose to Prince Rui, not to you, but to him. He never forgot to arrange everything properly until his death, To pave the way for the son born to the woman he loves the most!
Wei Ruo looked at Concubine Hui and said, "You hate my father."
Concubine Hui suddenly raised her head: "Why don't you hate me? I never poisoned Queen Xu. He actually knew it in his heart, but he still put me in the cold palace just to suppress my son. He also planned to make King Qin his crown prince. , the King of Qin, not only has mediocre qualifications and no achievements, but he has not had any children for many years, and is rumored to have hidden diseases! He did this to protect his most beloved son! Or in other words, he was the only one he recognized as his son. people!"
Wei Jinyi had confessed those things to Emperor Daxing before leaving the capital three years ago, so Emperor Daxing knew long ago that Concubine Hui did not poison Empress Xu, but he still did not release Concubine Hui from the cold palace. Come out, because Concubine Hui's fall from favor is also a means for him to suppress King Jing.
But his approach was the hardest for Concubine Hui to accept. She would rather Emperor Daxing imprisoned her in the cold palace because he was deceived!
Concubine Hui laughed and cried at the same time: "How ridiculous! We, mother and son, have been with him for twenty years, and how long has it been since King Rui appeared? Just because that is the child his most beloved woman gave birth to, he only thinks that he is Rui." Wang's father doesn't care about other people at all. How can you not make us, mother and son, feel chilled?"
"Over the years, Concubine Qi and Prince Yu have fought with our mother and son, but I have never hated Concubine Qi, because she is a poor person like me. What we have fought for in the end is nothing but illusions. Those things we want, no matter if they are His favor is still the crown prince, and if he doesnt want to give it to me, he wont give it to me!
Concubine Hui complained loudly.
Her expression and words were full of resentment towards Emperor Daxing, a hatred that could not be achieved through love.
Wei Ruo looked at Concubine Hui like this and said nothing.
Concubine Hui continued as if no one else was watching: "Earlier, he favored the women in the harem and only regarded them as tools to balance the court. Later, he got Empress Xu and regarded her as the most important person in his heart. He no longer wanted to care about her. Take a look at the other women in the harem. I thought that Concubine Qi couldn't see through it. I didn't understand that he had never been sincere to any of his concubines. Favoring and abandoning were all the emperor's skills. It wasn't until Empress Xu died that I realized that she couldn't see through it. This person is me, how can he love someone so much!" said Concubine Hui.
After saying this, Princess Hui suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Ruo's sleeve. The guards on the side quickly stepped forward. Wei Ruo raised her hand to indicate that they did not have to do this.
Wei Ruo planned to listen to Mrs. Huis words.
Concubine Hui said to Wei Ruo in a pleading tone: "Princess Rui, I beg you, let my son go. I forced him to do everything. I beg you to spare his life! Just treat it like this." Look at your past relationship with him! He treated you so well. Just when I wanted to deal with you, he had someone take you away. He wholeheartedly protects you and misses you. He never said anything about your past. Never forget."
Concubine Hui's words were shocking. The female relatives kneeling beside her heard for the first time that there was an entanglement between Wei Ruo and King Jing, and it seemed that the entanglement between the two was not shallow.
Wei Ruo's face was calm: "You say this because you want to ruin my reputation and the relationship between me and Prince Rui. In the end, you know that you can't change anything, so you want to make it difficult for me, right? ?
