Chapter 402 Misunderstanding
On the way here, my mother reminded me that I should cry in the Queen's mourning hall later. Crying is a sign of respect, and not crying is disrespectful.
He tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't bring himself to cry.
But when he looked up at his mother crying with her big belly, Taotao suddenly felt a little aggrieved and couldn't help crying loudly.
Everyone around the mourning hall was frightened by his howl.
Xie Run was feeling sad, but Tao Tao's shout brought him back to his senses. He awkwardly pulled Tao Tao, signaling him to stop.
Although she did tell this kid to cry, she didn't let him cry like this? !
Taotao became a little selfless when she cried, and tears as big as beans fell down.
Because he is young, no one will be too harsh on him.
On the contrary, because Taotao cried so sadly, everyone thought he was a filial and sensible child.
Even the ignorant second and third princesses were led by Taotao to cry at the top of their lungs.
The mourning hall, which was originally filled with heavy and sad atmosphere, suddenly became extremely noisy.
Xie Run hurriedly pulled Taotao away, not daring to stay for long.
She was afraid that if she stayed in Fengyi Palace any longer, this boy would cry his eyes out.
As soon as I left Fengyi Palace, Hui Zhaorong's voice sounded behind me.
"Empress Zhao, please stay!"
Xie Run turned around and saw Hui Zhaorong coming towards him with a calm expression.
She had a naturally cool temperament and was full of poetry and books. When she wore white mourning clothes, she seemed even more noble and detached.
Hui Zhaorong bowed to Xie Run and said, "I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Zhao."
Xie Run knew that although Hui Zhaorong looked clear-headed and lucid, she actually had a somewhat confused personality.
If I chase him now, I don’t know what unpleasant things he will say.
She said in a cold tone: "Is there something wrong with Hui Zhaorong?"
Hui Zhaorong slowly stood up, her eyes fixed on Xie Run, her voice as clear as the clashing of jade, "I have something I want to ask Her Majesty Zhao Guifei."
Xie Run glanced at her and said, "Speak."
Hui Zhaorong: "Why did Doctor Xie's youngest son suddenly become ill?!"
"She should have come to check on the Empress's pulse and ask about her well-being today. If Imperial Physician Xie hadn't been ill, giving those with evil intentions an opportunity to take advantage, why would the Empress be in this state..."
Xiao Shu and Dan Tao, who were standing by, were immediately filled with anger when they heard her words.
Xie Run also felt a surge of anger rising from her chest to her forehead. She took two steps forward, raised her hand and slapped Hui Zhaorong in the face.
There was a snapping sound, and a little red mark appeared on Hui Zhaorong's fair face.
The palace people around were all shocked.
Lian Hui Zhaorong was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.
Xie Run shouted angrily, "How outrageous!"
"Hui Zhaorong, are you suspecting that I deliberately prevented Imperial Physician Xie from treating the Empress?!"
"Everyone knows that the Empress's anger is due to a plot. The Emperor has already sent Lord Jing to investigate, and we're just waiting to find out the truth."
"Even the Emperor believes in my innocence, and Concubine Wen has never spoken out. What right do you have to question me?"
"If you want to act noble, hide your selfish thoughts and stop disgusting people!"
It was rare for Xie Run to be so angry, and his imposing aura really frightened the palace maids on both sides.
Zhihui Zhaorong was stubborn. She raised her hand and touched her slapped face, her expression still cold: "I was offended by your words, and I accept the punishment from your Majesty."
"The Empress has been very kind to me, and I will never let go of anyone who harmed her!"
Xie Run glared at Hui Zhaorong coldly: "You are the only one in this world who treats the Empress well, and everyone else is heartless?"
"If you really want to avenge the Empress, you must first kill the Emperor of the Xia Dynasty, and then those concubines of the Xia Dynasty who bullied the Empress' mother. Don't just show off your power in the Emperor's harem."
"If I had any evil intentions, why would I have done so many things back then?"
Hui Zhaorong lowered her eyes, "I hope so."
Her attitude made not only Xie Run but even Dan Tao and Xiao Shu, the servants, very angry.
Today was the Queen's funeral, and Xie Run didn't want to cause trouble.
But Hui Zhaorong's attitude was so disgusting that she could no longer bear it. She suddenly stepped forward and took Hui Zhaorong's hand and walked towards Fengyi Palace.
Hui Zhaorong was shocked: "What are you doing?!"
"Let's go see the Queen!"
Xie Run, with his bulging belly, walked steadily inside, dragging Hui Zhaorong along.
The servants all surrounded him and didn't dare to get close. They watched anxiously as Xie Run pulled Hui Zhaorong towards Fengyi Palace.
The palace people guarding outside could not hide their shock.
Perhaps it was because after staying in the palace for so many years, it was rare to see a pregnant woman as brisk as Concubine Zhao.
Hui Zhaorong didn't even dare to struggle, for fear of bumping into Xie Run's stomach and being wronged later.
Concubine Wen, who was kneeling and burning paper money, heard the noise, looked up suddenly, and looked at Concubine Zhao pulling Concubine Hui Zhaorong into the hall with a confused look on her face.
When she first glanced at it, she almost thought she was seeing things.
Concubine Wen was slow to react and quickly stood up: "What happened?"
"Sister Noble Consort Zhao, Consort Hui, you..."
Before he could finish, he saw Concubine Zhao holding Concubine Hui and kneeling in front of the Queen's mourning hall.
Xie Run forced Hui Zhaorong to kneel down, while he himself stood with his belly bulging.
Her face was cold and her attitude was calm. "Hui Zhaorong, I tell you in front of the Queen that I have never had any evil intentions, let alone done anything wrong!"
"If you tell even a single lie, you will die a miserable death!"
She lowered her head and met Hui Zhaorong's slightly shocked eyes.
Xie Run curled his lips, "Is Hui Zhao Ronghe satisfied?"
"The Queen is here today, and you also swore an oath to me."
"From now on, if you mention anything about the Empress again without any evidence, your Li family bloodline will be cut off!"
Hui Zhaorong subconsciously widened her eyes, with shock and anger in her eyes.
The Li family was ransacked long ago, and now she is the only one left.
Her bloodline is only that of the third princess.
Concubine Zhao asked her to swear this oath, which was clearly asking her to curse her daughter!
Hui Zhaorong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at the tablet of the Empress Dowager, she suddenly hardened her heart.
She and the third princess were able to survive until now thanks to the Queen's protection.
Now if the person who murdered the queen can be found, what good will it do if she swears an oath?
Hui Zhaorong raised her hand, her eyes firm as she spoke, "From now on, if I do not have evidence to wrongly accuse Concubine Zhao, my Li family... will be extinct."
"But if I find even the slightest evidence, I will never give up even if I turn into a fierce ghost."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Run let go.
Concubine Wen belatedly understood the conflict between the two people.
Hui Zhaorong thought that her sister's death was related to Concubine Zhao, which made Concubine Zhao angry and made a scene in front of her sister's coffin.
When Concubine Wen thought of this, she was surprised.
The reason for my sister's death was that she was too ill and she was furious when she learned about our mother's death.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be related to Concubine Zhao, right?
Concubine Wen wanted to say something to mediate, but then she felt that the two of them had already had their quarrel, and there seemed to be no need for her to say anything?
After Concubine Zhao left, Concubine Wen slowly stood up and walked to the distraught Concubine Hui.
"Hui Zhaorong, I'm afraid you have misunderstood Sister Zhao Guifei."
