"Do you still have evidence?" Chu Huaijin had already believed 70% of what Luzhi had said. She had said that he had gone to see Lin Yueying, and it was clear that she had been hiding in the Cold Palace as she had said. It was not surprising that she had been able to see the fire.
However, he had to make Shen Pan 'er give up. After all, she was the Empress now. He could not really cripple her just because he wanted to.
" Your Majesty…" Before Xiao Luzi could speak, Shen Pan 'er suddenly stood up and laughed out loud.
"Yes, you're right. I…I'm just jealous of her. I'm not as ugly as her, my background isn't bad, and the emperor dotes on me, but what right does she have to attract the emperor's attention? Even if she was banished to the cold palace, she still occupied the emperor's heart. Even when she didn't want the empress, she was so hesitant when she made me the empress.”Shen Pan 'er walked over on her knees and hugged Chu Huaijin's leg as she cried uncontrollably.
Perhaps her appearance at this moment was too realistic, so Chu Huaijin did not react for a while and shook her off. Instead, he let her lie on his knees and cry sadly.
Shen Pan 'er saw that Chu Huaijin didn't move and thought that she still loved her, so she punished her and cried even harder.
Her sobbing could be heard continuously, accompanied by a long whimper. She finally finished her love for Chu Huaijin.
"ChenQie is afraid……really too afraid that her husband will go to the emperor, so ChenQie will……beg the emperor to spare ChenQie on account of ChenQie's infatuation with you.”
Shen Pan 'er didn't dare to lie in front of so much evidence. She cried as she finished speaking. She knew very well that Chu Huaijin's heart might seem very hard, but in reality, he was not one to be coaxed. If she did anything wrong, he would definitely forgive her if she acted coquettishly.
Now, she hoped that it would be the same.
Unfortunately…
"So, you really killed her?”After patiently listening to her, Chu Huaijin pushed her hard. Seeing her fall pitifully to the ground, his face was calm as he calmly accused her of being hateful.
"You guessed right. Zhen loves her. She is the only woman Zhen has ever loved in this life.”
Shen Pan 'er widened her eyes in shock." But…if the Emperor loved her, why would he treat her like that?"”
If he called his endless torture and torment of her love, if she were Lin Yueying, she would probably rather not have it.
Thinking of the woman in his memory, Chu Huaijin's sharp eyes slowly became warm.""How can a cruel woman like you understand?”
If it wasn't for this loss, he wouldn't have known the joy he had once received and the sadness he was feeling now.
"Emperor…you say ChenQie is cruel, but don't you know that you are the most cruel person in this world?”
Shen Pan 'er leaned against the corner of the table softly. She was crying so hard that her snot and tears were flowing all over her face.
" You clearly loved her, but you tortured her and even killed your child. You clearly didn't love me, but you doted on me. You let down two women who loved you at the same time…"
Chu Huaijin felt as if a sharp blade was pointed at his heart. He had indeed let Ying 'er down, but the woman in front of him was not worthy.
"Zhen has never loved you. I only married you because I didn't want her to be the only one by my side.”
At that time, he hated the Lin family to the core. How could he be willing to marry Lin Yueying alone in the entire palace?
Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose the one with the best eyes among the daughters of the ministers he had seen-Shen Pan 'er.
"Your eyes look too much like hers…"
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, when he only had one light on, he would look into her eyes. It was as if Lin Yueying was lying beside him. She was obedient, just like them when they were young.
" I…I've been here for so long. I'm just…just a substitute, Lin Yueying's substitute, haha…"
There was nothing more ironic than this. She had once entered the palace with Lin Yueying on the same day. She had been envious of her at first, but now she looked down on her. Later on, she wanted to replace her because of Chu Huaijin's endless love for her. Then, she finally replaced her and became the empress of Daliang. But what did she hear?
It turned out that the woman Chu Huaijin had been hiding in his heart was Lin Yueying all along.
He was just too pretentious, so he didn't dare to admit it. He didn't want to let go of his feelings, so he used her as a shield.
"Hahaha, then I won't regret it…"
Shen Pan 'er looked up with an extremely cold expression.
" I don't regret killing her. Fortunately, she was the one who died. That way, I wouldn't be a substitute anymore. Haha…" Shen Pan 'er's eyes were red and she bit her lips tightly. Her laughter was deafening.
"Lock her up. I don't want to see her again.”Chu Huaijin's anger towards her turned into a deep longing for the woman who had passed away.
All the strength in his body seemed to have been drained. He collapsed on the seat and stared blankly at the Magnolia tree outside the window.
He still remembered her saying that she liked magnolias. Before he ascended the throne, she had planted all the flowers and trees in the palace.
He had done it so that one day he could bring her to the palace. He pointed at the Magnolia trees and proudly told her, He had specially planted it for her.
……
Shen Pan 'er was made empress and deposed in just a few days. This was like a joke.
None of the officials knew what the young emperor meant. In the court, if any official mentioned anything related to the empress, they would be punished without any reason. There was only one word: "Dismissed."
Chu Huaijin sat high up in the seat of honor, coldly looking at the civil and military officials.
Standing at the forefront was Shen Pan 'er's father. He was smart. He clearly wanted to know the reason why Shen Pan' er was crippled the most, but he did not dare to ask for it himself. Instead, he would threaten and bribe the young officials from time to time to help him.
He would wait and see how much longer he could endure.
After Chu Huaijin dismissed four fourth-rank civil officials in one breath, no one else submitted a memorial to the court because of Shen Pan 'er's unjustified demotion.
When everyone had calmed down, Chu Huaijin suddenly issued an imperial edict, shocking the entire court.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:14AM
