Chapter 720 The Tragic Concubine 27
Chapter 720 The Tragic Concubine 27
The next day, as soon as the emperor left the court, he learned that the empress dowager had sent Wu'er's nephew out of the palace.
This made the emperor sneer.
The Queen Mother really underestimated him. Did she think that everything would be fine if she sent Wu'er out of the palace?
A few days passed, and one day news came that Prince Chen had fallen off his horse and was in critical condition.
When the Queen Mother heard the news, she fainted.
When the Queen Mother woke up again, she saw the Emperor sitting in front of the bed, watching over her: "Your Majesty, how is the Prince of Chen? How could your brother fall off the horse for no reason? This is definitely not an accident. Your Majesty must thoroughly investigate this matter and find out the murderer behind it."
"This is certainly not an accident," the emperor said calmly, "because I did it."
The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide in disbelief, then sat up and slapped the Emperor hard: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. Who else but you could have wanted to kill the Prince?"
"You beast! Prince Chen is your brother, how could you have the heart to kill your own brother? You are worse than a beast. If I had known I would give birth to a beast like you, I should have used a bowl of abortion pills to abort you."
"I am a beast, but isn't my mother a beast?" the emperor sneered. "My mother is also ruthless when it comes to her own grandson. I am just like her! My mother can only blame herself for having such a vicious heart. It's all your fault that the prince ended up like this."
"Oh! By the way, although Prince Chen was rescued, he has become a useless person paralyzed in bed and half dead."
"Tsk tsk! My dear brother has always been proud and complacent. If he wakes up and knows that he has become a waste and can only lie in bed for the rest of his life, I don't know if he can withstand such a blow."
"And the heirs of Prince Chen. I have lost five of them at once. I should finally settle the score. The blow I have experienced should also be borne by my mother. Otherwise, wouldn't my five heirs have died in vain?"
The Queen Mother's chest heaved, and her eyes were almost popping out of their sockets with resentment: "You... you are not a human. I knew you would definitely suspect me, but you don't think about it. Your offspring is also my grandson. No matter how crazy I am, I can't..."
"The bowl of abortion medicine that aborted Concubine Jiang's baby was given to Concubine Cheng by my mother. Has she forgotten?" The emperor interrupted the empress dowager coldly, "I really regret it! I regret why I believed your lies. The Jiang family was loyal to me, but I was still bewildered and believed your lies."
The emperor looked angry and said, "Mother, why is this happening? I am obviously your biological son, why do you treat me like this? Does it mean that Prince Chen is your biological son, and I was not born from your belly?"
"You have been planning to make me childless because you favor my youngest son. How could I have such a cruel mother like you? Why didn't I see through your vicious heart earlier?"
The Queen Mother was so angry that she couldn't speak and looked like she was about to faint.
"The servants who served the Queen Mother were too disloyal, so I beat them all to death. The Queen Mother fainted this time and injured her heart and lungs, so the Queen Mother should recuperate in Ci'an Palace from now on!"
"You... you unfilial son, do you want to put me under house arrest?" The Queen Mother panted and said:
"I am just being filial to my mother and want her to recover from her illness. How come she said that I want to put you under house arrest?" The emperor sneered, "It seems that she really hates me as her son. If that's the case, I will try not to visit you in Ci'an Palace in the future, so as not to affect her recovery."
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor stood up and walked outside.
"Come back here." The Queen Mother shouted loudly, but her voice did not stop the Emperor.
Five years passed quickly, and during these five years, no good news came from the concubines in the harem.
Oh! By the way, the prince's offspring have died in succession in the past few years. Now the prince has no offspring at all. Even girls were killed by the emperor.
Does the emperor's action count as cutting the weeds at their roots? He was really cruel. Although the children of Prince Chen suffered an unprovoked disaster and died unjustly.
But Jiang Chunxi just sighed and didn't feel any guilt. As a tasker, her mission was to complete the mission. If someone died in vain because of her during the mission, she could only say sorry silently in her heart, nothing more.
She has traveled through so many worlds, and her heart has long been trained to be as cold as iron. As long as it does not affect her mission, Jiang Chunxi does not mind doing some good things, but once it involves her mission, she will feel sorry.
After all, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, right?
It is also worth mentioning that the Queen Mother does not have much time left to live. Over the years, the Emperor has had people give the Queen Mother chronic poison, and from beginning to end, the Emperor has never thought of saving the Queen Mother's life.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Chen has gone." When Jiang Chunxi just woke up from her nap that day, Yuanzhu reported to her.
"How could it be so sudden?" Jiang Chunxi said in surprise, "The last son of the Prince of Chen died half a year ago, but the Prince of Chen managed to survive. How could he be gone all of a sudden? Could it be that the dog emperor did it?"
"It must be," Yuanyuan helped Jiang Chunxi get up from the bed, "The Queen Mother probably won't live long. The Emperor will naturally not allow Prince Chen to continue living. Once Prince Chen dies, the Queen Mother will not be able to withstand the blow and will also pass away. Then, no one will say anything about the Queen Mother's death."
"Haha! I didn't expect the dog emperor to be so thoughtful," Jiang Chunxi sneered and sat down at the dressing table, "Go get ready. I have to go to Ci'an Palace quietly tonight."
"Alas! I am too kindhearted. I cannot bear to see the Queen Mother being a fool. I must make sure that she dies clearly."
Jiang Chunxi has always been reluctant to create unnecessary trouble, but she suddenly received a task, saying that the original owner's soul strongly requested that the Queen Mother and the dog emperor die with their eyes open and die clearly.
This was the first time that Jiang Chunxi had encountered such a thing. She had never expected that even after the deal had been negotiated, the sacrificed soul could still make further demands.
Of course, although it was an accident, Jiang Chunxi was only surprised for a moment and didn't think too much about it.
However, since the original owner's soul made such a request, Jiang Chunxi naturally had to meet the original owner's request. This was his duty as a worker!
Naturally, there were people belonging to Jiang Chunxi in Ci'an Palace, so at night, Jiang Chunxi could appear in front of the Empress Dowager's bed without any hindrance.
