I became the tyrant's only belief.

Chapter 135: The Confidant Betrays and Reveals

[…Here, Zhuqing’s mother was raped by Xiao Laodeng and gave birth to Zhuqing. After Mrs. Xiao learned about this, she sent someone to teach Zhuqing’s mother a lesson. Zhuqing’s mother was already suffering from postpartum depression, and was insulted and pointed at by other people in the mansion. She was so depressed that she committed suicide by jumping into a well before Zhuqing was one month old.]

[Zhu Qing's father was a coward and useless man. He didn't have the courage to stand up and stop his wife from being humiliated. Now that his wife has been forced to death, he has the nerve to take the money and run away, leaving Zhu Qing helpless in the mansion. Madam Xiao also brainwashed her into protecting Concubine Xiao with her life.]

[Tsk tsk, no wonder you are not afraid of having your entire clan exterminated. Your mother is dead, your father has fled, and there is no one left in your clan. It doesn't matter whether you exterminate them or not.]

[Zhu Qing still thinks that her mother died of illness. If she knew that her mother was tortured to death by Xiao Laodeng and Madam Xiao, would she... still help Concubine Xiao take the blame? ]

Chu Liuzheng glanced at Zhu Qing and wanted to tell her the whole truth, but... she couldn't explain it.

Xiao Jingfan originally thought that Chu Liuzheng would be so scared that she would not dare to look at the system all night. Now it seems that he was worrying unnecessarily because of this heartless woman's nature of thinking before doing anything.

He thought for a moment and called out to the empty space, "Eleven."

Xiao Shiyi appeared in response, startling everyone in the hall.

Wang Cairen's eyes were sparkling, and she kept looking at Xiao Shiyi.

Others were also peeking curiously.

This is the secret guard!

Following Xiao Jingfan's eye signal, Xiao Shiyi quickly presented a paper roll.

Xiao Jingfan unfolded it and took a look. Hmm... the little guy was practicing martial arts today, and his painting skills seemed to have improved a bit.

Chu Liuzheng was so curious that he couldn't help but sneak a peek from the side.

However, Xiao Jingfan had been on guard against her and blocked it with his hands, so she didn't see it at all.

Chu Liuzheng was extremely anxious.

[Damn! I'm so curious about what kind of little man painting it is! ! ]

Xiao Jingfan closed the paper roll and waved to Xiao Anzi to come closer.

Xiao Anzi silently prayed for Master's blessing as he approached cautiously.

Xiao Jingfan whispered something in his ear.

Xiao Anzi visibly relaxed, nodded, stepped back, leaned over and whispered a few words into Zhuqing's ear.

The others were completely confused and felt as if they were being tickled by feathers.

What did your majesty say?

Concubine Xiao's right eyelid twitched, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Before she could calm down, she suddenly heard Zhu Qing screaming. The voice was so shrill, as if she was possessed by a female ghost, and everyone shivered with fear.

What's going on? It's scary at night.

The concubines touched their chests and turned to look.

Zhu Qing seemed to have encountered something extremely sad. After shouting that cry, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly.

The sound was so miserable, as if one's parents had just died.

Everyone:? ? ?
[Oh, no wonder the tyrant was not in a hurry to interrogate, it turns out that he asked the secret guards to investigate Zhu Qing. The secret guards are quite capable, they even dug out the cause of death of Zhu Qing's mother. ]

Chu Liuzheng felt that he had guessed what the villain had drawn.

[Put yourself in their shoes. The person you have always respected and appreciated is actually the enemy who killed your mother. You have been working hard for your enemy's daughter, and you are ready to take the blame for your enemy's daughter under the pressure of exterminating your entire clan. This would make anyone collapse.]

If she were Zhu Qing, she would have rushed over and killed herself together with Concubine Xiao. Xiao Jingfan spoke at the right time: "I will ask you again, was it you who was in charge of replacing the perfume powder?"

"No!" Zhu Qing was still sobbing in his throat. When he heard the question, he immediately shook his head to deny it.

Concubine Xiao was shocked. How could Zhu Qing...

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao is the mastermind. She is dissatisfied with Concubine Yun always asking you to leave Feiyu Palace, and she is resentful. That's why she specially prepared incense to cause Concubine Yun to have a miscarriage."

Zhu Qing raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and spoke very quickly, "It was Concubine Xiao who ordered me to bribe Xiao Pingzi and promised him that he would transfer him to Feiyu Palace to work. Tonight, Eunuch An found the perfume powder. Concubine Xiao was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she ordered me to kill Xiao Pingzi in the storehouse and disguised him as if he committed suicide out of fear of crime."

"Just as I knocked Xiao Pingzi unconscious, Eunuch Zhou arrived with his men. I..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Xiao slapped the armrest of the chair and stood up, staring at Zhu Qing in astonishment and disappointment, "I treat you like a sister, why did you collude with outsiders to harm me? Who on earth instructed you?"

"Oh! Sisters?" Zhu Qing sneered and glared at Concubine Xiao with resentment. "Madam Concubine Xiao, do you know that I should call you Sister?"

Xiao Guipin was stunned, "What sister?"

Zhu Qing didn't intend to explain to her. She faced the emperor on the main throne and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiao not only wanted to cause Concubine Yun to have a miscarriage, but also wanted to harm Princess Huirong."

Everyone: Wow!
Concubine Xiao:!!!

She didn't care about anything else and shouted at Zhu Qing: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Six months ago, Princess Huirong suddenly developed a rash all over her body. It wasn't because she ate something wrong, but because Concubine Xiao put clematis and azalea flowers in the sachet she carried with her and deliberately let the princess play with them."

Zhu Qing not only did not stop talking, but he continued to talk nonstop.

"The small clothes that Concubine Xiao personally sewed for the princess were also soaked in medicinal powder in advance. The smell will make the princess lose her appetite and gradually become weak. And..."

Before she could finish, Concubine Xiao was so panicked that her mind went blank. She actually raised her foot and kicked Zhu Qing, "Damn you bitch! Shut up!!"

Zhu Qing was kicked to the ground by her, and his head hit the door sill, causing a bump immediately.

Chu Liuzheng opened his eyes wide and watched without blinking.

[Frog fun, the confidant betrayed and revealed the truth, Concubine Xiao is doomed! ]

Xiao Jingfan gave a look and immediately a maid came forward and pushed Concubine Xiao to her knees.

Concubine Xiao struggled instinctively, and the pearl flower inserted diagonally in her bun slipped to the ground, leaving a few strands of hair hanging on the side of her face, making her look somewhat embarrassed.

The usually gentle Concubine Shu glared at her with gritted teeth, her eyes turning red with anger.

Huirong is her life, how dare that bitch named Xiao!
Her chest kept heaving, and she wished she could pounce on Concubine Xiao and tear her into pieces.

Concubine Xiao didn't dare to look her in the eye. Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't understand why things turned out like this? Why did Zhu Qing betray her?
Zhu Qing was helped up and knelt down again.

Turning around and seeing Concubine Xiao's disheveled hair, she couldn't help but feel pleased. She opened her mouth to say more, but Xiao Jingfan, who was sitting at the top of the table, waved his hand in annoyance, "Drag them all away and beat them to death."

Everyone gasped.

Beat with a stick?!
Your Majesty, don't you care about the Xiao family at all?

Concubine Xiao was also stunned by the words "beat to death". Your Majesty... wants to kill her?
Before she could come to her senses, palace maids came forward and dragged her, Zhuqing and Xiaopingzi away.

Xiao Pingzi still had his mouth gagged and was shaking with fear. He was dragged away in despair by two eunuchs.

Palace maids and nannies also came forward to arrest Concubine Xiao and Zhu Qing.

It was only when they were dragged to the threshold that Concubine Xiao came back to her senses and looked at the emperor in a panic, "Your Majesty! I am innocent, it was all Zhu Qing's fault, it has nothing to do with me! Please, Your Majesty, please look carefully, it really has nothing to do with me!"

She was so frightened that she burst into tears. She held on to the door sill tightly with both hands and shouted loudly that she was innocent.
