Chapter 771 So This Is Real Hypocrisy
Of course, Concubine Liang knew what Ruoli was thinking.
But this is the best approach for now.
The others are not fools, and His Majesty is even less so. It is impossible that he still doesn't understand that Doctor Xu is her man.
The reason why Doctor Xu still bears all the blame is because his family lives in the house under the name of the steward of the Zhuang Mansion.
But His Majesty has already openly investigated the matter, and the Zhuang family can no longer threaten Doctor Xu with his family.
Rather than waiting for Doctor Xu to turn against her and reveal everything she asked him to do, thus putting her in an even more passive position, it would be better for her to admit it proactively.
Concubine Hao stared at Concubine Liang, and said with tears in her eyes: "You finally admitted it!"
"I regard you as my own sister, that's why I let you take care of my baby. Why?! Why would you hurt me like this?!"
Since they already knew that Doctor Xu was Concubine Liang's man, they were not too surprised to hear her admit it.
Except for those palace concubines who had always believed in Concubine Liang, no one else could hide their surprise in their eyes.
It turned out to be Concubine Liang...
But...even so, everyone still doesn't think that Concubine Liang did anything wrong.
After all, everyone knows which is more important, concubines or royal heirs.
Concubine Hao actually questioned Concubine Liang why she did this. She was so naive.
Isn't it the duty of a concubine to have children for the royal family? Even if she has to sacrifice her life for this, it is what she should do. Could it be that she thinks that she is more important than the heir to the throne?
Everyone was just stunned... Such a choice would not be surprising if made by others. But Concubine Liang... wasn't she always the kindest? How could she be so calm and give up her "sister's" life...
This is true hypocrisy!
Concubine Liang slowly raised her head and looked at Nangong Xuanyu, her voice choking for a moment: "Your Majesty, even though I am reluctant to leave my sister Haopin, I have not forgotten my duty as one of the four concubines."
"Since you asked me to take care of the heir of sister Haopin, I have no choice but to make a choice..."
"In my heart, no woman is more important than the heir to the throne, including my own life. Even when I was pregnant with the eldest prince, if I encountered the same thing, I would not hesitate to give up myself to save the eldest prince..."
"It's just that neither I nor Doctor Xu could have imagined that the fifth prince would be born prematurely..."
"I have done my best to protect your Majesty's offspring. No matter how much misunderstanding I have suffered or how much abuse I have endured, I have no regrets and have a clear conscience."
At this point, Concubine Liang bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, please consider that Doctor Xu concealed these things because he couldn't bear to implicate me, and be lenient with him!"
Then, Concubine Liang looked at Concubine Hao again, and tears finally fell from her eyes: "Sister Hao, I asked Doctor Xu to keep this a secret from you for the sake of the Fifth Prince's health."
"Just think of this as me letting you down. No matter how cruel you are or how much you blame me, I won't blame you. I will repay you in my next life for what I owe you."
"But even if it happens again, I will still make the same choice. As a concubine, it is our duty to give birth to a child for His Majesty. How can Sister Haopin care about herself?"
People with different ideas have different views on the same thing.
At this moment, some people think that Concubine Liang was too cruel to sacrifice her mother to save her son!
Some people think that her behavior is not wrong, but what she did is inconsistent with her usual image. They will never believe that Concubine Liang is really a kind and benevolent person like a bodhisattva. On the contrary, she is very scary...
Some people completely agreed with Concubine Liang, and even blamed Concubine Hao: "I think Concubine Liang's choice is understandable."
"Offspring are the most important thing. Even ordinary noble families would choose to protect their children when faced with similar situations, let alone the royal family?"
"Empress Hao was able to take the position of concubine because of her son's status as a mother. Do you really think that your life is more valuable than that of the Fifth Prince?"
"Empress Liang and Doctor Xu have done everything they can to save the Fifth Prince. I think they are not only innocent, but also meritorious, and they deserve a reward!"
"Yes, Concubine Liang and Imperial Physician Xu could not have predicted that the Fifth Prince would be born prematurely and not live to adulthood. In the final analysis, it was all because of Concubine Hao's poor health."
"Fortunately, Concubine Liang and Doctor Xu did not tell her the truth in advance. Otherwise, Concubine Hao was so selfish and only cared about surviving, ignoring the Fifth Prince. The Fifth Prince might not even survive this month!"
"..."
Although many people disagree with their words, thinking that without a mother, where would the children come from? Even if they have children, they cannot ignore the mother's life!
But this is the Imperial Palace, His Majesty is still here, how dare they speak out their true feelings...
Listening to these people's accusations against Concubine Hao, Ruoli knelt behind Concubine Liang and breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, everything went as the queen expected, she did nothing wrong!
Even if the truth is revealed, so what?
Can Concubine Hao do anything to Concubine Liang? Humph!
Shen Zhinian looked at Concubine Liang quietly and snorted coldly in his heart.
She had always known that Concubine Liang was not so easy to deal with. Sure enough, at this moment, she could still turn black into white.
With just a few words from Concubine Liang, she instantly became a great person who was willing to bear the infamy in order to protect the royal heir.
And Concubine Hao was plotted against by her, and before she died, she was accused of being selfish and inconsiderate.
Even worse... In order to survive, she didn't even want to protect the fifth prince. If the emperor is displeased by this, will Concubine Hao's family still have a future?
However... Shen Zhinian had planned so much, how could he let Concubine Liang get away with it so easily?
Even if Concubine Liang could find a reasonable excuse for this matter, her reputation, which she had worked so hard to build over the years, was ruined.
What's more... Shen Zhinian still has a backup plan waiting for Concubine Liang!
Concubine Hao's body was already almost weak to the limit, and after hearing these words, she became so angry that the blood in her chest surged!
She stared at Concubine Liang intently, gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine Liang, stop confusing right and wrong here!"
"If you and Doctor Xu had told me the truth earlier, I would have willingly given everything I had, even my life, to save the Fifth Prince!"
"You concealed the news because you had an ulterior motive! You wanted to take away the fifth prince after I died, so why did you say it so high-soundingly?!"
"We are all discerning people. Do you really think no one can see your ambition?!"
Concubine Liang's purpose was clearly pointed out by Concubine Hao.
She frowned, seeming a little helpless: "The day I made up my mind to protect the fifth prince for Your Majesty, I knew that there would be a lot of misunderstandings after the news spread."
"Sister Haopin, it doesn't matter what you think of me. I believe that those who are innocent will be innocent."
