Chapter 698 I don’t know where to start?
The emperor's expression suddenly became serious, and the teacup in his hand trembled slightly.
He slowly put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Xiazi with sharp eyes.
"Blood letter? What blood letter are you talking about? Tell me in detail!"
There was a hint of nervousness in Xiao Xiazi's words.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Dongzi said that while renovating a small room in the backyard of Jingren Palace, they discovered several loose bricks. They intended to dismantle and reinforce them, but unexpectedly found a piece of blood-stained and yellowed cloth between the bricks. There were faint bloody words on the folded cloth."
"Xiao Dongzi didn't dare to act on his own initiative, so he immediately ordered people to seal off the scene and rushed over to report."
The blood writing on the wall of Jingren Palace?
The emperor frowned and tapped the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long time, he spoke in a deep voice.
"Did Xiao Dongzi bring the blood letter?"
"Your Majesty, no one dares to move. The blood letter is still hidden within the bricks."
When such a bloody thing was found in the palace, anyone with a discerning eye would know that it must be hiding an unspeakable secret.
Xiao Dongzi has been in the palace for many years, so how could she not understand the reason behind this.
He knelt down and begged Xiao Xiazi to pass on the message for him in order to gain a glimmer of hope.
"Go and retrieve the blood letter intact."
To be cautious, the emperor sent someone to summon Wei Lin.
"Xia Qian, send someone to investigate and find out who lived in the room in Jingren Palace where the blood letter was found."
"Also, send someone to keep an eye on the deposed queen..."
After the emperor gave his orders, he could no longer read the memorial.
He took out an old purse embroidered with red plum blossoms from the drawer, rubbed it reluctantly for several times, and put it back.
Rouze, what do you think I should do to Yixiu this time?
"I am unlucky and cannot accompany the emperor, but my sister Yixiu is gentle and kind-hearted. I hope the emperor will treat her well and let her accompany the emperor in my place."
Her last words once again echoed clearly in the emperor's ears.
Gentle temperament? Kind-hearted?
The emperor recited it softly several times.
Yixiu had the audacity to drug herself. If she were to discover any unforgivable sins...
The emperor closed his eyes and closed the small drawer containing the purse.
Xiao Xiazi did not stop along the way and soon retrieved the blood letter in the small box.
After Wei Lin checked the fabric and found nothing unusual, the emperor drove everyone out of the palace.
He waved his hand, the curtain behind him moved, and Xia Qi quickly knelt on the ground.
"Please copy the blood letter and show it to me."
The emperor is old, and it is difficult for him to see things when it gets dark.
The glasses given by a foreigner were accidentally stepped on and broken by him, so he had better not make things difficult for himself.
"No matter what is recorded in it, you are not allowed to leak it out!"
"Yes, Wei Chen obeys your order."
Xia Qi has worked for his master for many years and has handled many unspeakable things in private.
But every word written in blood made him break out in a cold sweat, especially when he saw the five words "administered a drug that would make a child infertile". Xia Qi's hands were shaking so much that ink clumps appeared on the paper.
If he submits this copied blood letter, will he not live to see tomorrow?
Even though countless ways of dying flashed through Xia Qi's mind, he didn't dare to stop his hands for even a moment.
About a moment later, the copied blood letter was presented to the emperor.
He read it at a glance, and with a "puff", bright red blood splattered on the paper.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to invite the judge in?"
The emperor's attention was drawn to the paper on the table. He clenched the edge of the paper tightly with both hands, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Killing the royal heirs and concubines!
Jiang Fuhai also explained that Rouze’s death was also related to Yixiu!
The stories of these vicious acts were so detailed and convincing that the emperor could not help but become suspicious.
......
Six years ago, a drug was used to make the childless!
Six years ago!!!
The emperor recalled Wei Lin's subtle reminders before and after the New Year, and stared at the piece of paper on the table with horror, as if he was facing a monster.
He stood up suddenly, holding the copied blood letter tightly in his hand, with such force that his knuckles turned white, as if he wanted to crush the paper with the words on it.
There was a blazing rage in the emperor's eyes, mixed with pain and disbelief.
“Yixiu…Yixiu!”
Xia Qian wanted to crawl under the table. He remembered that Jiang Fuhai from Jingren Palace had not appeared for some time. He heard that he was ill.
I didn't expect that it was the deposed queen who was killing people to silence them.
The emperor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth hastily and gave the order with a grim face.
"Xia Qie, accompany me to Jingren Palace!"
"Yes, Wei Chen obeys your order."
Xia Qie acted quickly and covered himself so that only his eyes were exposed before going out.
Wei Lin smelled the bloody smell coming from the emperor and fell silently to the end of the team.
The emperor felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of Rouze's last words before his death.
That evil woman's methods were so cruel and outrageous, how could she deserve Rouze's care?
After six years, the emperor stepped into Jingren Palace again. The further he walked, the more upset he felt.
"Your servant pays respects to His Majesty!"
When Yixiu heard the greetings from outside, her hand holding the small box paused.
She quickly pushed the hair that was blocking her view behind her ears and murmured happily.
"Honghui, your royal father is here to see us mother and son!"
"Let's go, the Empress Dowager will take you to greet him!"
As soon as Yixiu ran out of the bedroom, she bumped into the emperor who was striding in.
The thin Yixiu didn't care about the pain in her body, she forced out a strange smile with difficulty.
"Concubine, please pay your respects to the Emperor!"
She shook the small box in her hand and coaxed softly.
"Honghui, quickly pay your respects to your Royal Father!"
The emperor kicked the person to the ground and looked at her coldly.
"How dare you, Yixiu! Do you admit your guilt?"
The pain from hitting his head against the pillar spread quickly, making Yixiu remember a lot of things in an instant.
She hugged her shoulders, curled up in pain on the cold ground, and let out a low whimper.
"Honghui... my mother's Honghui!"
When the emperor heard her mention his eldest son who died young, he became furious.
"Evil woman! You are not worthy of mentioning Honghui, and you still refuse to confess your crimes honestly!"
Yixiu forced herself to sit up and replied calmly.
"Your Majesty, I...I...I don't know what to say. Please tell me clearly."
The emperor sneered.
"But I've done so many evil things, I don't know where to start."
