After my love-brained mother read my mind, I kicked out my scumbag father and divorced him

Emperor Ming listened to Wen Qianqian's thoughts and his expression became more solemn.

The number of deaths on Concubine De's hands is like a mountain?

How could she, a person who has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures all year round, be like this?

The way Emperor Ming looked at Concubine De was completely different from before.

It was like looking at a scary stranger.

Defei was such a smart person that she could tell at a glance that Emperor Ming's expression was wrong.

She suddenly thought: Could it be that Zhang Shun really betrayed her?

As soon as this idea came up, it was rejected by Concubine De.

impossible.

Zhang Shun's only family is his brother, and he is still expecting his brother's family outside the palace to support him in his old age.

After all, eunuchs are rootless people. They are destined not to have heirs in this life. Apart from relying on his brother's children to take care of him in his old age, who else can he rely on?

Now the lives of his brother and his family are firmly in her hands, he dare not say anything!

"Your Majesty, I wonder what your Majesty meant by making such a fuss to ask me to come here?"

De Fei said, with a bitter smile, "I don't know what I have done wrong to deserve Your Majesty to humiliate me like this."

As she spoke, she intentionally or unintentionally revealed her two bound hands hidden under her sleeves.

Emperor Ming, who had witnessed Wen Qianqian's "True Word Spell", looked gloomy.

"De Fei, was it you who ordered Zhang Shun to release the Hanba found in the Queen's palace?"

Although he was asking, his tone was very affirmative.

Concubine De looked puzzled.

"Hanba? What is Hanba? Isn't that something that only appears in ancient books? Your Majesty, please don't joke with me."

Queen Qu could no longer bear it and stood up to question.

"De Fei, do you dare to say that it wasn't you who did it? Zhang Shun has already confessed you, why don't you tell the truth?"

"Zhang Shun? You mean, the little Shunzi from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"That's right!"

Concubine De smiled.

"Your Majesty, it seems someone is trying to frame me maliciously!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that I framed you?"

Concubine De met Empress Qu's gaze.

"Empress, although my prince is the crown prince, he has always called you mother. Why do you treat me like this for the sake of the second prince?"

"Your Majesty made the eldest prince the crown prince out of helplessness. Haven't you figured it out after all these years?"

"If the ruler of a country cannot speak, how can the Ming Dynasty be consolidated?"

Queen Qu was so angry that her whole body began to tremble.

"You are so slanderous!"

Concubine De bowed deeply to Emperor Ming.

"Your Majesty, please find out the reason and don't let those people with ulterior motives throw dirty water on me!"

"you--"

"Empress!" Emperor Ming gently patted the back of Empress Qu's hand to stop her from getting angry.

He took a few steps forward and came in front of Concubine De.

"De Fei, you are the most virtuous person. I don't want to wrongly accuse you, so before you came here, I had already asked the people from the Dali Temple to investigate."

"According to the time, they should have finished their investigation."

"Come here, summon the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

Soon, Lord Liang, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, walked in.

Several people from Concubine De's palace came in with him.

These people were the ones Zhang Shun had exposed outside the palace.

When she saw those people, Concubine De's expression changed slightly, and her breath was obviously not as steady as before.

"Liang Heng, tell me, what have you found out?"

Lord Liang replied "Yes", and then said: "According to what Zhang Shun said, I found out that half a year ago, the palace of Concubine De sent these palace maids and eunuchs out of the palace, saying that they were going to buy things that Concubine De needed. But I found out that they did not go out of the palace to buy, but went to the bitter and cold border areas. As for what they went to 'buy', let them tell you for themselves."

"allow!"

Several palace maids and eunuchs stepped forward timidly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen asked us to leave the palace to look for Hanba."

"You're talking nonsense!" Defei raised her hand to slap the palace maid, but her hands were tied and she couldn't do it.

The maid's eyes were filled with tears.

"Your Majesty, they have already found out everything, just confess... Otherwise, everyone in Changchun Palace will be buried with you!"

Before they saw Concubine De being tied up, they knew that Concubine De was doomed.

Continuing to stand on the side of Concubine De would lead to death and would also implicate her family. It would be better to tell everything and ask for an intact body.

"Shut up! Stop spitting bloody words at me here!"

"I didn't say anything slanderous, madam, you know it best."

Several eunuchs and palace maids came forward one after another and explained the situation in detail.

"The Empress Defei is a concubine of the family. Her biological mother is a Miao woman who is proficient in the art of witchcraft. It was from there that the Empress learned the use of the blood demon."

They even described in detail where, what happened and how Defei and Zhang Shun transformed the drought demon into the blood demon.

"Shut up! Everyone, shut up!"

"I'm going to kill you traitors!"

"All of you go die!"

At this moment, Concubine De had completely lost her usual kindness and gentleness. Her eyes were filled with hostility and her face seemed a little distorted.

Emperor Ming had never seen such a Defei, and neither had anyone else.

Even Queen Qu was shocked.

Is this still the Yan Niang who married the then crown prince together with her?

However, the palace maids had not finished speaking.

"Your Majesty, in addition to the matter of the drought demon, the Queen still holds many lives in her hands. I only ask Your Majesty to spare my family, and I am willing to confess everything!"

Emperor Ming closed his eyes.

It was exactly the same as Qianqian said.

"Yes!"

As soon as Emperor Ming opened his mouth, the palace maids and eunuchs rushed to confess all the crimes that Concubine De had committed in the past.

"When the Empress Defei was still in the palace, she once drowned a maid because she always dressed up extraordinarily gorgeously when you came."

"Do you still remember An Da Ying who was banished to the cold palace four years ago? She was banished to the cold palace because she poisoned Concubine De, but in fact, it was Concubine De who put the poison herself."

"That year, the Fourth Princess suddenly had a high fever that wouldn't go away. It was also the Empress Defei's fault."

"Ningpin's miscarriage was caused by Concubine De."

The palace maids and eunuchs spoke one after another, some of their stories were true and some were false, but with so many charges being brought together, it was hard to tell what was real and what was false.

Emperor Ming's face looked as if thunder had descended.

"De Fei! You disappoint me so much!"

Concubine De wanted to struggle at first, but when she saw Emperor Ming's angry look, she suddenly laughed.

"I did it all, so what?"

"My son is already the crown prince. Are you going to banish his mother to the cold palace?"

"No, you won't. Even for the sake of the prince's face, you won't do this."

The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Once there is any shakenness, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably be in turmoil.

Therefore, she had the confidence that Emperor Ming would not touch her.

"Asshole!" Emperor Ming was so angry that he slapped Concubine De hard on the face.

The jade ring on his hand scratched Concubine De's face, and blood immediately appeared on her face.

But Defei seemed to feel no pain and laughed like crazy.

"I got it right, hahahaha..."
