Chapter 849 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 39]
Gao Xiyue widened her eyes, looked at Hongli with resentment, and said in a sharp and trembling voice: "The evil things done by the Queen are really outrageous! In order to test the emperor's mind, she was so cruel that she betrothed Lianxin to that disgusting Wang Qin; she also instigated A Ruo to frame Concubine Xian, and even instructed me to poison Concubine Xian..." As she spoke, she was so excited that her body trembled slightly.
Then, Gao Xiyue took out an exquisite bracelet from her bosom and threw it to the ground, which shattered. She pointed at the fragments, glared at Hongli and shouted, "This is the bracelet that the Queen gave me! It turned out to be the thing that prevented me from getting pregnant for many years! How can she be so vicious? And Ruyi is not a good person either. She knew there was something wrong with the bracelet, but she didn't say anything."
When Hongli heard this, his face darkened instantly. He severely rebuked Gao Xiyue: "Stop talking nonsense here. How dare you slander the queen!"
However, Gao Xiyue was not afraid at all, and responded with a sneer: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that after the truth is revealed, you will find that the queen you have always respected is actually such a disappointing person?"
Hongli was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Gao Xiyue and shouted angrily, "I am extremely disappointed in you! I didn't expect you to become so cruel and crazy that you even dared to murder the heir to the throne. You are simply a woman as poisonous as a snake and scorpion!"
Facing the emperor's scolding, Gao Xiyue not only showed no remorse, but continued to question: "Your Majesty, did you really not ask Doctor Qi to keep it a secret and tamper with the medicine I took?"
Hongli flatly denied it, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said sternly: "I have never done such a despicable thing! But you, what you did is really intolerable. But for the sake of our past friendship, I will give you a posthumous title so that you can die with a little more dignity."
After hearing this, Gao Xiyue smiled sadly, tears rolling down her cheeks. She looked at the man she once loved with despair, muttering to herself: "Forget it, since the emperor is so heartless, I only hope that I can be reborn into an ordinary family in the next life, find a good man, raise children with him, live a peaceful life, and be a truly kind and virtuous person." After saying this, she slowly closed her eyes, as if she had no attachment to the world anymore.
After careful consideration, Hongli finally decided to give Gao Xiyue the posthumous title of "Xian". He knew the deep meaning of this word and hoped to satisfy Gao Xiyue's beautiful expectations and yearning for the afterlife. However, at this time, Gao Xiyue was determined in her heart that Hongli had poisoned her! Once this idea took root, it could no longer be stopped. So, she made up her mind to plot against Hongli once so that he could also taste the pain.
While Hongli was not paying attention, Gao Xiyue secretly infected the mat where Hongli usually sat with scabies. She was expecting Hongli to be infected with the disease and suffer from the pain. After doing all this, Hongli got up and left. When Gao Xiyue confirmed that Hongli had gone far away, she quickly ordered her men to burn the mat with scabies to avoid leaving any clues to be discovered. But at this moment, perhaps because of excessive tension or a sudden deterioration of the disease, Gao Xiyue felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and her body involuntarily leaned forward and fell heavily on the cold ground.
Despite this, Hongli still showed a certain degree of favor to Gao Xiyue. Not long after, he ordered to promote Gao Xiyue to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort to show his respect and remembrance for her.
One day, Gao Xiyue, who had been in a coma, finally opened her eyes slowly. Her consciousness was still a little fuzzy, but the first thought that came to her mind was to find a good job for her personal maid Mo Xin. She used all her strength and said to Mo Xin who was guarding the bedside: "Don't forget... who caused me to be in this situation..." After saying this, it seemed that her last bit of vitality was exhausted. Mo Xin nodded with tears in her eyes, then carefully helped the extremely weak Gao Xiyue up and slowly walked to the center of the yard.
It was snowing heavily outside, and the sky and the earth were pure white. Gao Xiyue stood quietly in the snow, admiring the beautiful snow scene. But not long after, her already shaky body could no longer support her, and she suddenly leaned back and fell on the snow without any warning, ending her short and tragic life.
When the Queen Mother learned of Gao Xiyue's death, she couldn't help but sigh. On the one hand, she admired the clean and neat work of Doctor Qi; on the other hand, she secretly thought that Gao Xiyue's fate might be her own fault.
After Gao Xiyue passed away, the entire palace was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere of sadness. The most grief-stricken among them was Emperor Hongli. His usually dignified and stern face could not hide his sadness at this moment, and his eyes often revealed endless longing and pain.
One day, Hongli summoned Fucha Langhuan. The two sat opposite each other in silence for a long time, and finally Hongli broke the silence. He slowly said: "Before the Imperial Concubine died, she told me many things from her heart."
Hearing this, Fu Cha Langhuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and a strong feeling of uneasiness surged up in an instant.
After Fu Cha Langhuan left, Hongli stood alone in front of the window, staring into the distance, muttering to himself: "Now I can no longer see what the Queen is thinking..." His voice was low and full of doubts, as if lost in a fog.
At the same time, after Fucha Langhuan returned to the palace, she was in a state of depression for a long time. She was keenly aware that since that conversation, Hongli had become somewhat distant from her. An inexplicable fear began to spread in her heart. She kept speculating whether Hongli had known some unknown secrets, and if these secrets were exposed, what terrible consequences would it bring to her.
