Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Villain is Extremely Difficult to Mess With
Chapter 71 The Cold and Aloof White Moonlight Empress vs. The Yandere Abandoned Crown Prince (29)
Kyoko will never know that she has a cheat code.
In the original series, that secret passage will collapse tonight.
Qin Jingxing had been confined to the cold palace for so many years, enjoying a life of luxury. How could he possibly endure such a existence? Besides, the emperor's heart was unpredictable; who knew if he might take his life tomorrow?
Rather than spending his days in worry in the cold palace.
He Suining guessed that Qin Jingxing would definitely escape from the Cold Palace tonight.
The Cold Palace was a deserted place, so leaving was actually quite easy. However, the palace was so large that unless one could find a way to leave quietly, being caught meant certain death.
The information that Xingzi provided to him was like a godsend.
If Qin Jingxing doesn't leave, then he's the one who's out of his mind.
really.
That night, the secret passage collapsed with a loud crash. Even the concubines who were unaware of the passage wondered where the news had come from, while the Emperor, who knew about it, naturally sent people to repair it immediately.
Unexpectedly, the people inside had only been inside for a short time when they dragged the half-dead Qin Jingxing out.
It is said that when he was found, he was trapped under a large rock.
The emperor was furious.
He didn't know how Qin Jingxing had found out about the secret passage; that was one reason.
Secondly, Qin Jingxing actually dared to run away! He had already shown Qin Jingxing extraordinary leniency regarding Consort Ru's matter, but he never expected that Qin Jingxing would actually try to escape.
"Father."
Upon hearing the news, Qin Jinnian rushed over. "Father, please calm down. I wonder if he knows something about what happened back then, or if there's something he can't let Father know, which is why he's in such a hurry to escape?"
The emperor was furious.
He waved his hand dismissively, "Go and bring Consort Ru in."
Consort Ru was imprisoned in the dungeon for several days, her body covered in filth.
He appeared in the main hall with some scars on his face and his clothes disheveled.
She seemed dazed, but when she saw the emperor, her eyes seemed to clear again.
Turning her gaze, she suddenly saw Qin Jingxing lying on the ground.
She was stunned for a moment, then seemed to vaguely remember that she had a son, and rushed over anxiously, "Jingxing! Jingxing... my son, what's wrong with you? Don't frighten your mother. Your Majesty, you..."
Consort Ru did not finish her sentence.
The Emperor then asked in a condescending tone, "Consort Ru, I'll give you one more chance. Was the matter concerning Consort Xian back then related to you? And Qin Jingxing..."
Just now.
He suddenly realized a terrifying truth: "Is he really my son? Consort Ru, your affair with this guard may not have been long, but have you had affairs with other guards before?"
If someone can do something like this, they might be able to keep doing it forever.
People's bottom line is constantly being broken.
The emperor had barely finished speaking.
Consort Ru looked up at the Emperor in shock, tears streaming down her face.
The woman who used to wear heavy makeup and dressed so elegantly is long gone.
She was in a terrible state, her eyes filled with pain. Her voice was hoarse and low, "Your Majesty... do you really, really think so? Xue'er entered the palace more than ten years ago, serving you wholeheartedly and giving birth to your son."
Yes, I betrayed you. But how could you insult Xue'er like this!
The Emperor did not believe a word she said. "Liu Fude, go and find the imperial physician. I want to perform a blood test to determine kinship."
"No need!" A stubborn look flashed across Consort Ru's face. She stopped crying, but her eyes were frighteningly red, as if they were bleeding instead of tears. "Your Majesty, Xue'er admits to what happened back then. I did it. Back then, you favored Consort Xian, and I was so angry that I approached several other concubines who were on my side, and together we came up with a plan."
"The Consort Xian was kept in the dark from beginning to end. But it's quite ridiculous, the whole thing was actually very chaotic and full of mistakes, but Your Majesty was more angry than suspicious."
"So I breathed a sigh of relief when Consort Xian died."
After Consort Ru spoke, a huge weight was lifted from her heart, and she felt at peace.
We're all going to die anyway.
She didn't care anymore; from that moment on, she understood that the Emperor didn't love her at all.
To hope for the love of an emperor is indeed a luxury.
So she dared not. She just thought that if the emperor would remember even a little bit of their past affection, she would be satisfied.
But the emperor even doubted Jingxing.
This was unbearable for Consort Ru. At this moment, she was overwhelmed by a mix of negative emotions, such as love turning into hatred, resentment, and so on, which rushed towards her like vengeful ghosts. "Your Majesty, Jingxing is your child. Xue'er knows that her lowly life is not worth dying for, but Xue'er is willing to die to prove Jingxing's innocence."
After saying this, he didn't wait for anyone to react.
Consort Ru got up from the ground and slammed her head heavily against the pillar.
Bang.
The sound of flesh colliding was very loud.
When everyone looked over, He Suining had just walked in from outside.
Consort Ru lay on the ground, her eyes wide open, and in her last moments before dying, she saw only her.
She gave He Suining a pitiful smile.
No one understood, not even He Suining, the meaning behind her final smile.
She collapsed to the ground, dying with her eyes wide open.
There was silence.
He Suining bowed, and the Emperor waved his hand to let her rise, "Why has the Empress come?"
"I heard that something happened here, and I was worried, so I came to check on it."
She saw Qin Jingxing fall to the ground.
As luck would have it, just as she arrived, Consort Ru bumped into a pillar, and Qin Jingxing coughed as he sat up from the ground.
He looked around at the people who had gathered in a circle, feeling lost.
Then he noticed his mother lying on the ground, her forehead covered in blood.
Qin Jingxing's expression changed drastically; he tried several times to get up from the ground but lacked the strength. Finally, he could only crawl awkwardly towards Consort Ru, crying, "Mother! Mother!!!"
The imperial physician rushed over.
Seeing this scene, he stood there in shock.
The Emperor remained expressionless, seemingly unmoved by the death of the man before him. "Imperial Physician Zhang, I order you to perform a blood test to determine if Qin Jingxing is my child."
"……Yes."
Qin Jingxing was no longer listening to anything.
He held Consort Ru's body on his lap, weeping uncontrollably.
But there was no sound.
The imperial physicians went about their own business.
The blood test for kinship yielded results quickly.
After examining him, the imperial physician reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, Prince Wei is indeed Your Majesty's son."
The emperor's expression softened.
But then she remembered Consort Ru's words, and her expression turned grim again. "Even so, Jiang Ruxue not only corrupted the harem, but also conspired with several other concubines to frame and poison them! Her intentions are extremely vicious. A child born to such a woman will not be good..."
He was silent for a moment, as if he had made a decision, "I have decided to send people to investigate the Jiang family overnight. If anyone is found guilty of deceiving the emperor, all those under the age of 18, regardless of gender, will be sent to do hard labor until they die. Those over the age of 40 will be imprisoned in the dungeon and executed."
The Emperor's gaze fell on Qin Jingxing. "As for Qin Jingxing, throw him into the dungeon, whip him, and then throw him into a mass grave."
This time.
Qin Jingxing finally came to his senses, but he was trembling all over and couldn't even speak.
He Suining took a step forward.
When Qin Jingxing saw her standing in front of him, he knelt down slightly before his father.
Her voice remained as cold and indifferent as ever, as if the collapse of the heavens and the earth would not elicit much emotion from her.
However, she spoke up for herself again, "Your Majesty, I feel that the punishment for Qin Jingxing is inappropriate."
The Emperor glanced at the Empress.
Perhaps because of everything that had happened before, he valued the Empress highly, so he didn't get angry immediately.
Instead, he asked, "Why does the Empress feel this way?"
"Your Majesty," He Suining stood up and looked at the Emperor, "the Jiang family can basically be said to have been wiped out. If only Qin Jingxing is left, is it more painful to confine him to the Cold Palace and keep him under strict guard than to execute him outright? In this life, the most painful thing is when everyone around you is dead, and you are still alive."
Furthermore, he would have to constantly remember those painful experiences. I believe that death would be the greatest relief.
Like Consort Ru, who died after hitting her head against a pillar, knowing nothing more. In other words, how can that be considered punishment?
The Emperor pondered the Empress's words carefully and agreed that she was right.
Just didn't say anything.
Qin Jinnian, who had been standing to the side, knelt on one knee. “Father, I also think that what Mother said is right. Mother died so unjustly back then. I’m afraid that before she died, she hoped that Father could see her one last time. She suffered a lot. With Consort Ru’s death, everything is over. If Qin Jingxing also died like this, what pain would he have to endure?”
The virtuous concubine was mentioned.
The Emperor nodded. "Then we shall do as the Empress and Jin Nian wish. Guards, send Qin Jingxing to the Cold Palace and have him kept under strict guard. Do not allow him to escape again. If this happens again, I will hold both Qin Jingxing and those who guard him accountable."
Qin Jingxing was dragged out by his arms in a daze.
He Suining turned around and met his gaze.
He seemed to want to say something, but dared not, his eyes filled with affection for her at that moment.
"..."
He is indeed a fool.
She guessed that, given Qin Jingxing's arrogant personality, he would mistakenly believe that she had saved him on purpose. Despite her seemingly ruthless words, she was actually trying to save his life.
Sometimes, there is only hope for a person if they are alive.
However, He Suining would not give him that hope.
Everything she just said was true; she wanted Qin Jingxing to live in agony day and night, not only mentally but also physically.
die?
I feel so relieved.
The days that followed were much simpler.
Because Consort Ru confessed, each of the concubines was subjected to severe torture.
The torment was so intense that many concubines eventually couldn't bear it any longer and confessed.
A total of five people were identified this time.
There were officials ranging from imperial concubines to noble ladies.
They were all banished to the cold palace.
As for Qin Jinnian, a month later, the Emperor suddenly issued an edict to announce to the world the matter of Consort Xian.
Although this was a shameful affair, it shouldn't have been made public in the first place. But unfortunately, the matter became a big deal back then, and everyone knew about Consort Xian's affair.
To clear Consort Xian's name in the afterlife, this was announced to the world.
The next day.
Qin Jinnian was reinstated as Crown Prince.
