Concubine Xiao raised her hands and looked at the blood on them. Her beautiful eyes glared fiercely at Emperor Kun.

However, at this moment, a strange change suddenly occurred on her face. The face aged in an instant, wrinkles crisscrossed, and the fair skin became dull and sallow, and then loosened and drooped.

In the blink of an eye, Concubine Xiao turned into an old woman, looking even older than the Empress Dowager.

It was as if the beautiful face just now was just a momentary memory.

But she suddenly opened her bloody mouth without realizing it, and laughed wildly, "Hahaha...hahaha..."

Emperor Kun was so shocked by Concubine Xiao's sudden change that he took a few steps back.

I asked boldly,

"Xiao Ruyue, are you a human or a monster? Were those three people bitten to death by you?"

When Emperor Kun thought that the woman he had slept with for twenty years was a demon, his heart began to beat wildly. His face turned pale and blue.

*

At this time, Concubine Xiao stopped laughing and slowly got up from the ground. She looked at Emperor Kun who had taken a few steps back and said with great sorrow,

"Your Majesty, am I a human or a demon? What do you think? Hehehe... Of course I am a human!

I have been with you for more than 20 years, have you never believed me?"

Hearing this, Emperor Kun was somewhat relieved. With his imperial dragon aura, he was not afraid of being hurt by the evil spirits. He laughed in anger and said,

"Believe you? Believe you betrayed me? Believe you provoked a demon in order to achieve your own goals?"

I thought of the little beast that the imperial physician had mentioned that had hurt people, and then I thought of the baby beast whose species I couldn't tell that had been lying on the bed just now.

He felt extremely uncomfortable. But when he saw Xiao Ruyue's sagging and old face, he suddenly felt relieved.

"Xiao Ruyue, ah Xiao Ruyue. I never thought you would betray me. Human and demon? Hahaha... You are very good! Very good!"

Emperor Kun did not remind her to look in the mirror, but turned around and walked out of the room laughing.

After he left, a sharp, desperate wail pierced the sky above Ruyi Palace.

*

outside the door,

Emperor Kun glanced at the Imperial Physician Niu who was kneeling at the door and trembling, and ordered Eunuch De,

"Beat him to death."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Imperial Physician Niu sat down on the ground, then got up and started knocking his head "bang bang bang".

"Your Majesty, please spare me, Your Majesty, please spare me! The Imperial Concubine has been refusing to let me diagnose her pulse! Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

Emperor Kun had already strode out of the gate of Ruyi Palace.

He gave the order to the guard captain Li who was waiting outside the door,

"The Ruyi Palace has been sealed. It cannot be opened without an imperial decree."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

Guard Captain Li responded hurriedly. He had just heard that Concubine Xiao had given birth to a freak baby. Of course the emperor would be furious at such an unlucky thing!

Before Guard Captain Li could think about it, he heard Emperor Kun's cold and solemn order.

"Investigate the entire palace thoroughly, catch the beast that hurt people, and ensure the safety of the palace people."

"Yes, Your Majesty. I obey your command."

*

Captain Li responded respectfully, and after seeing Emperor Kun off, he looked bitter.

The palace is so big, where can we search for that little beast?

It seems that he is going to carry out a bloodbath in the palace.

In addition, he also wanted to warn everyone that the fact that Concubine Xiao gave birth to a freak must not be spread! However, he forgot a saying: good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles!

*

After leaving Ruyi Palace, Emperor Kun did not take the sedan chair, but walked back slowly. At this moment, he felt indescribably depressed.

He didn't want to think about what Concubine Xiao gave birth to.

Instead, his mind was filled with the fact that Concubine Xiao had betrayed him by saying one thing in public and another in private!

The taste of betrayal has now fallen on him, but he has no evidence to find the adulterer, and has no way to vent his anger.

At this moment, Emperor Kun looked ugly, as if he had eaten a dead fly and couldn't spit it out or swallow it, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

*

When we were almost at the Imperial Study,

But he saw his two sons, the third prince and the fourth prince, waiting obediently outside the door.

"My son, I would like to send my regards to my father."

"Why are you here?"

Emperor Kun relaxed his expression and stepped into the imperial study.

The two little princes followed in.

Without waiting for Emperor Kun to ask, the two little princes knelt on the ground with a plop.

Emperor Kun said somewhat displeasedly,

"Why?"

The fourth prince was startled by his father's seriousness. After looking at the third prince, he mustered up his courage and said,

"Father, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that the Crown Prince was entangled by a large black snake that was spitting out its tongue. The Crown Prince struggled hard, but he couldn't break free due to the disparity in strength.

Father, today I asked you what your explanation was. You said it was a sign of bad luck.

After the Third Prince finished speaking, the Fourth Prince bowed his head and said,

"Father, is the Crown Prince in danger? Father, the Crown Prince must have been framed. How could he have colluded with the enemy and committed treason?

I beg your Majesty to show mercy and allow the Crown Prince to return to the capital, okay?"

The third prince also kowtowed and said,

"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow my brother the Crown Prince to return to the capital. I am worried about his safety."

Emperor Kun was stunned when he looked at his two young sons lying on the ground.

He did not scold them angrily, nor did he correct them that the crown prince had been deposed and it was inappropriate for them to call him brother.

There was silence in the imperial study for a moment.

*

a long time,

Emperor Kun suddenly thought of their two restless mothers, and for some reason he suddenly felt a little better.

Fortunately, these two sons have not been corrupted by the interests.

The image of Concubine Xiao with blood on her hands appeared before his eyes, and he also thought of his second son, Prince Rui, who was a powerful relative of the emperor.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The current situation is all because of my indulgence, which has allowed Concubine Xiao and her son to become bold and ambitious!

*

"You two can go down! Your father is very pleased that you are so kind to each other. But some things are not for you two to worry about. Your studies are the most important thing now."

The third and fourth princes felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, knowing that their words were insignificant because they were too young!

So the two of them kowtowed to Emperor Kun again and said respectfully,

"Thank you for your teachings, Father. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, they looked at Emperor Kun and waved his hand, and then they retreated one by one.

*

Just at this time,

Eunuch De hurried in and bowed and replied,

"Your Majesty, everything that happened in Ruyi Palace has been covered up."

"Ah."

Emperor Kun leaned back in his chair tiredly and closed his eyes.

After a while,

Emperor Kun suddenly said to Eunuch De who came in to serve tea,

"Dezi, if we leave him alone, do you think he will be reborn?"

"Ah? Who is it, Your Majesty?"

At this time, Eunuch De's mind was full of thoughts about Ruyi Palace, and puzzled questions came out of his mouth.

*

He raised his eyes slightly, looked at Emperor Kun who had his eyes closed, and did not respond.

Eunuch De lowered his head and suddenly thought of the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince who had just walked out.

The next thing that came to my mind was the deposed prince who seemed to be plagued by bad luck.

He pursed his lips, knelt on the ground, and said with all his courage,

"Your Majesty, I understand your thoughts. Please forgive me for saying a few more words."

"Well, tell me."
