Chapter 200: Confession
Hailan did it on purpose.
Because only if she does this will the emperor let Ruyi go.
The only way was to provoke the emperor and make him think that she was using him and Ruyi out of hatred so that she could take action against the heirs in the harem.
She and Ruyi have been good friends since they were in the Qiandi Palace. Now it has been more than 20 years. The emperor will definitely think that Ruyi is involved.
Only by doing this could she make the emperor realize that she had deliberately approached and deceived his sister.
In this way, my sister will not be suspected by the emperor.
She had indeed done these things and could not deny them. She could only use her life to clear Ruyi's name.
The slap made her eyes see stars and her throat tasted fishy and sweet.
The emperor used all his strength and even staggered a little.
She fell to the ground and struggled to get up. As she staggered, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of her face quickly became red and swollen. Her mad look was very scary.
"Bitch! Let me ask you this matter, was the Queen involved in this?"
The emperor didn't want to pay any attention to her madness. This was the only thing he wanted to know.
If the queen was involved, he would definitely not punish her severely.
He looked down at her from above, his face solemn.
"Hahahahaha, the Queen is such a fool. Otherwise, how could I have used her to get close to Concubine Chun and the eldest prince? What I hate most is her hypocritical attitude. Now, I'm finally free..."
As Hai Lan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. She didn't cry when the emperor questioned her, nor when he beat her, nor even when the Ministry of Punishment chastised her. Only when Ruyi was mentioned did she become moved.
For so many years, the only person in this palace worth her nostalgia was her sister. As long as it could help her sister escape punishment, she would do anything.
"Don't you think about Yongqi when you do these things? He's just a child, and he has to face a mother like you who is so cruel to her child. If the news gets out, how will he face the world in the future?"
After hearing her say this about Ruyi, the emperor finally felt relieved.
After all, he didn't want to admit that the queen he had helped to become the empress was a vicious woman who killed concubines and murdered the royal heir.
Yongqi was her favorite son. Seeing his biological mother now so crazy, the emperor even had murderous intent in his eyes.
Among his sons, Yongqi was the most outstanding. Thinking that Yongqi was so well-behaved, he just kept apologizing that day and did not identify the bitch.
How can this slut be worthy of being a mother to such a good son?
When mentioning Yongqi, Hailan's eyes showed a rare trace of guilt.
She knew in her heart that the person she owed the most in her life was her son.
"So what? I've already done it. What's the point of dwelling on it later? It's also thanks to this son that I was able to climb to the top of the four concubines. I've enjoyed all the glory and wealth for so many years..."
Hailan smiled sarcastically, and as she spoke, tears flowed down her cheeks and into her mouth, which was extremely bitter.
All I can do now is pretend to be using them so that they can distance themselves from me.
The movement caused the wounds on his body to hurt, and the pain was unbearable, but the pain was not even one ten-thousandth of the pain in his heart.
She knew she was finished.
"Do you hate me so much? To the point where you're plotting against my queen and my son?"
Seeing her crying and laughing like a madman, the emperor was very puzzled.
He was just drunk back then, and he had risen from a small embroiderer to the position of the head of the four concubines. What was there to be dissatisfied with?
I have given her everything I should have given her, and if I ask myself honestly, I have never treated her harshly.
Her actions really made the emperor feel heartbroken.
You have to know how many women in this world are willing to rush into the palace to become his concubines and become his women.
But the woman in front of him, Hailan of the Koriyet clan, had hated him for more than twenty years because of this and even plotted to kill his two most important sons.
He didn't understand, let alone why she did this.
"Your Majesty, you are always so arrogant. Even if you are the emperor, what does it matter? Look at the women in this palace, one after another, like flowers, blooming and withering, withering and blooming again. For so many years of bloody storms, they have lived in fear. All this is because of you. You say I am a vicious woman, but the most vicious thing in the world must be your cold and cruel heart!"
Hai Lan gritted her teeth. She even fell to the ground without any regard for etiquette and stared at the emperor.
The coldness in his eyes made the emperor a little stunned.
In just a moment, he regained his majestic imperial appearance.
He sneered, "Hmph, to put it bluntly, you're just a coward. If you hate me, why don't you attack me? You say it nicely, and it hurts my heart, but... I am still the emperor, high and mighty. The sins you committed in the past not only cannot hurt me, but they keep you awake at night. You are truly foolish. I don't want to see you in the palace..."
He calmly sat back on the dragon throne and looked at Hailan indifferently as she sat there going crazy.
He is always like this. He is indifferent to all the disputes in the palace and the departure of one woman after another.
His indifference stung Hai Lan's eyes. She sneered and looked at the emperor's indifference. The anger that had been pent up in her heart for a long time finally dissipated.
She gave up the pointless struggle and just spoke frankly.
"Hahahaha... The Emperor doesn't want to see me? Don't I also hate the Emperor... utterly? I've long been tired of staying in this palace. I admit what I did. Whether I live or die, it's up to you."
Hai Lan acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and let the emperor do whatever he wanted.
"Someone is coming."
The emperor no longer paid any attention to the crazy woman. He called out from the door and Jinzhong hurried in.
"Does the Emperor have any instructions?"
Looking at Hailan's awkward appearance, Jinzhong's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.
He remembered all the times she had acted so arrogantly and bullied Ling Zhuer. Now that she had finally been defeated, how could he not feel happy?
"Send her to the temporary palace. Death? That's too easy for her. I want her to atone for the sins she committed in this life before she dies. After she's sent to the temporary palace, I'll order people to build a small Buddhist temple and place the eldest and second princes' statues in it. Every day, have someone slap her in the face thirty times. Let her kneel inside day and night to reflect on her sins. She's not allowed to come out for the rest of her life..."
