Chapter 246: The picture shows the dagger
Emperor Taihe went directly to the secret prison.
The night was getting darker, but he had no desire to sleep at all.
The sudden and huge blow made him unable to sleep at all. He just wanted to figure out everything as soon as possible!
He walked hurriedly and soon arrived at the cell where Chen Fang was imprisoned.
She was seen lying on the ground on her side, with her back facing the prison door, still wearing the same gorgeous clothes she wore during the day.
Emperor Taihe looked at this familiar figure and his mood instantly became extremely complicated.
He believed that he had done nothing wrong to Chen Huan. Even though he didn't like her, he still retained her position as queen and did not depose her just because she was infertile.
Her father was also named Duke Cheng'en and her brother was named Crown Prince.
But how did she repay him?
She cheated on him, switched his prince, and poisoned his mother, concubine, sister, only son, and nephew!
Even he himself was poisoned by this bitch!
After capturing Chen Huan and Concubine Li, Emperor Taihe secretly asked the divine doctor Yao to take his pulse. Sure enough, he was also poisoned, which was why he had no children in recent years.
This bitch has such a vicious mind!
Emperor Taihe recalled the diagnosis given by the Divine Doctor Yao, and murderous intent began to surge in his heart: "Someone, hang this bitch up!"
But just as he finished speaking, he saw Queen Chen, who was lying on her side, suddenly get up.
She turned to look at Emperor Taihe, a mocking sneer on her lips: "Your Majesty, you just want to know the truth from me, why bother with so much trouble? You and I are husband and wife after all. I risked my life to block a knife for you back then. Do you really want to be so cruel to me?"
These words made Emperor Taihe even more furious!
He angrily scolded: "How dare you say that! I have already asked the Godly Medicine Doctor, and she said that your infertility is not due to injury, but the poison has already penetrated into your bone marrow!"
You were clearly infertile because of the poison, yet you deliberately staged that rescue drama just to make me feel guilty about you, so that you can continue to be the queen and gain benefits for the Chen family!
After saying this, Emperor Taihe stared at Empress Chen's face, wanting to hear how she would argue.
Unexpectedly, she smiled and admitted, "So Your Majesty has already guessed it. It seems Your Majesty is not stupid, he just likes to play dumb."
This was the first time Emperor Taihe had seen Chen Huan like this, and he immediately flew into a rage: "Chen Huan, how outrageous! Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Chen Huan laughed crazily: "Of course I know that Your Majesty dared to kill me, but, Your Majesty, don't you want to know the truth of all this? Your Majesty, do you know why that evil creature died back then?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Taihe quickly sensed something was amiss: "What do you mean by that? Did you have anything to do with the death of that... evil creature?"
This is simply unbelievable, how can he believe it?
Chen Huan went to great lengths to successfully switch the baby, and later killed the midwife to silence her. Why did he kill the child again?
What good will it do her?
Could it be that she is a lunatic?
"Your Majesty, you don't want to believe it?" Chen Huan suddenly laughed, "Hahahahaha - I didn't dare to believe it back then either."
She raised her hands and looked at her fingers carefully.
Her smile was ironic, yet she looked like she was crying, "Your Majesty, do you know that I am not a daughter of the Chen family?
They told me that I came from a poor family but was born a beautiful girl, so my parents sold me to a brothel for money when I was young.
Mrs. Chen was kindhearted and could not bear to see children suffer, so she specially picked a poor child like me, who was beautiful, intelligent and smart, from the brothel and raised me carefully as if I were her own daughter.
I actually believed their lies before, regarded them as my salvation, and felt that they had given me a new life.
So no matter what they asked me to learn, I would try my best to learn it and do my best so as not to let them down.
Later I found out that I was not from a poor family and my parents had never sold me to a brothel.
My father was a businessman with good business sense and was a well-known and wealthy businessman in the local area. My grandfather was a doctor with excellent medical skills and he also taught my mother the art.
I could have lived a prosperous life with them, but they were murdered and all their wealth fell into the wrong hands. I was the only one who survived because I was too young to remember anything, and I was also very pretty, making me a great tool.
Empress Chen paused here, then asked sarcastically, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Luo family case? The Luo family was wiped out overnight, and their wealth was said to have fallen into the hands of Xie Yun, but in fact, the majority of it went to the Chen family.
My family was in the same situation back then. The Chen family needed a large sum of money, but they didn't dare to make a big noise and arouse the court's vigilance.
Therefore, they specifically targeted wealthy local businessmen whose backgrounds were not very strong. They first designed to wipe out their entire families, and then quietly took away their property and obtained the secret recipes in their hands.
Unfortunately, I had been kept in the dark before, and I mistook the enemy for my father and my enemy for my benefactor. For them, I worked hard to learn poison techniques, tried my best to block the knife for Your Majesty, and even risked my life to switch the prince.
Even if I have to escape death several times and live in fear all the time, I don't mind.
It wasn't until that evil creature was almost a year old that I realized the Chen family was my enemy! "
At this point, Empress Chen laughed crazily again, and looked directly at Emperor Taihe and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think I shouldn't take revenge?"
Emperor Taihe looked at her coldly: "Since you knew that the Chen family was your enemy and you wanted revenge, why didn't you tell me all these years? And you deliberately hid it from me and poisoned me?"
He sneered, "You make yourself sound pitiful, but from what I see, you seem to be enjoying it. You didn't say anything before, so you regarded Jiang Lin and I as enemies, didn't you?
Concubine Li is beautiful but foolish, and has always been played around by you and Chen Shou. She has never harmed you, so why don't you let her go?
You just said that you're not from the Chen family, so you're also having an affair with Chen Shou, right? He really has a good eye for women, making you women want to be with him one after another.
Since you all like his eyes so much, I will have Lu Xuan arrest him and put him in the Sky Prison tomorrow, dig out his eyes and give them to you!"
After he finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
But he heard Empress Chen ask quietly from behind him, "Your Majesty, don't you want to know why I am telling you this?"
Emperor Taihe couldn't help but turn around and said, "Why? You said all this just to tell me that you are also a miserable person, and you want me to let you go?"
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm so foolish? I've already poisoned you, so how could I think that just because I have a pitiful background, you'd show mercy and let me go?"
Empress Chen laughed strangely, "I'm only telling Your Majesty this to buy time. Your Majesty, why don't you touch your heart and see how it feels?"
"You—" Emperor Taihe widened his eyes in horror, his gaze filled with anger and deep fear. "What did you do to me?"
No one noticed that a thin thread shot out from the ground and quickly drilled into the sole of Emperor Taihe's feet.
