Chapter 3 The "Disfigured" Consort Chen (The End)

Zhuzhu jumped down from the roof beam, walked up to Luo Xi, and cried tears of joy, "Miss, you've finally figured it out."

Luo Xi smiled at Zhu Zhu, "Yes, I've figured it out."

"Then this servant will take you away from here now, Miss."

Zhu Zhu was afraid that Luo Xi would change her mind, so she took Luo Xi out of the palace that very night.

Before she left, to avoid unnecessary trouble, she smothered a palace maid who was about the same height as Luo Xi with a cloth. This maid was Xiao Lan, the personal maid of the Imperial Concubine. Xiao Lan had never respected her mistress before. That's right, Zhu Zhu wanted to kill her; it was because Xiao Lan had bullied her mistress in the past, relying on her master's power.

Zhuzhu placed her on Luoxi's bed, and then she set several large fires in the Jade Palace.

When Qin Yan arrived, Yuqiong Palace was already burned to the ground. He didn't see Luo Xi and shouted, "Where is Consort Chen?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress has not yet come out."

"After the Empress returned to the palace, she stayed alone in the inner palace and wouldn't let anyone in."

"The fire originated from the Empress's inner palace."

Qin Yan: !!!

His hands clenched into fists.

No wonder... no wonder she acted that way, no wonder she killed the Imperial Concubine and injured the Crown Prince. It turns out, she had long since given up on life.

Is she blaming him for not giving her the title of Empress?

"Find them! Go inside and find them for me, alive or dead."

He couldn't believe she was gone.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An hour later, the guards found a charred body in that spot inside the inner palace.

Qin Yan: !!!

He knelt down, hugged her tightly, his eyes reddening, and asked in confusion, "Why? Why did you leave?"

The imperial concubine is already dead, why doesn't she want to live?

Even without the Imperial Concubine, it was inevitable that she would become Empress.

Qin Yao was overjoyed when he found out.

That woman finally died.

He touched the wound on his face; a crown prince's face cannot be injured. Fortunately, his father only has him as his heir, otherwise... otherwise he might not be able to become crown prince. That woman is truly wicked! She actually tried to cut off his path to becoming crown prince.

Outside the palace.

Luo Xi lifted the carriage curtain and glanced in the direction of the capital.

"Zhuzhu, let's go to Baicheng."

"Yes, miss."

Three days later

Qin Yan and Qin Yao were in excruciating pain all over their bodies. Qin Yan summoned all the imperial physicians. The physicians knew that Qin Yan and Qin Yao had been poisoned, but they couldn't diagnose what kind of poison they had been given.

The imperial physicians exchanged glances, and the next second, they all knelt down. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, you have been poisoned."

"This poison is too vicious; only the divine physician of Divine Healer Valley can cure it."

Qin Yan: !!!

Poison? Who poisoned it?

Suddenly, he thought of someone: Luo Xi.

They could tell that the Emperor was in a bad mood and very irritable. They couldn't cure the poison in his body, but they didn't want to die either, so they pointed out a path for the Emperor, hoping that the divine physician could cure him.

Qin Yan: "Come... people, quickly go to the Valley of Divine Physicians and invite the divine physician to the palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

For the next two days, Qin Yan and Qin Yao were in excruciating pain, and their tempers became increasingly volatile and irritable. In an attempt to relieve the pain, they even banged their heads against the table, causing their heads to bleed.

They tried everything, but they just couldn't stop the pain. They even contemplated suicide because the pain was unbearable.

Three days later, the divine physician entered the palace.

He took the pulses of both Qin Yan and Qin Yao.

He frowned. He could only diagnose that they were poisoned, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific type of poison. Therefore, he couldn't find a cure.

The healer could tell from their expressions that they were in great pain and suffering. At that moment, they were beyond reason.

Therefore, in order to leave the palace alive...

He said seriously and earnestly, "Your Majesty, could you please have someone escort me back to the Valley of Divine Physicians?"

"I need to go back and gather some herbs."

"What medicine do you need? Have them go and gather it."

The miracle doctor rattled off names like "White Grass," "White Qi," and "Cloud Crow" without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, order them to find it as soon as possible. Otherwise, this poison..."

They all understood the unfinished words of the divine physician.

Qin Yan:

He had never even heard of these medicines.

In the end, Qin Yan still sent the divine physician back to the Valley of Divine Physicians to gather herbs, and he sent several guards to accompany him.

The physician thought to himself: "Hmph, a few guards can't stop him. One packet of poison, and they'll all be dead."

Finally, the divine physician poisoned the guards to death, and then he ran away...

King Qi heard that Qin Yan had been poisoned, which was why he hadn't attended court for several days. He actually suspected that this was a scheme by Qin Yan to test whether he harbored ambitions for the position.

A few days later, the King of Qi heard that many eunuchs and palace maids had died in the palace.

King Qi: !!!

So, were the Emperor and the Crown Prince really poisoned?

Who played it? It's truly a stroke of luck for them.

In the end, both Qin Yan and Qin Yao died. Tormented by the poison to the point of unbearable pain, they couldn't endure it any longer and slit their throats...

As for Luo Xi, she and Zhu Zhu settled down in Baicheng. (The End)
