Chapter 387 The Conspiracy to Depose the Queen

The high walls surrounding the villa not only isolate the noise from the outside world, but also lock Chen Lihua's heart.

As time went by, the hatred in her heart grew like a vine growing wildly in spring, silently and madly spreading day after day...

In the past, she was young and ignorant, and she might not have been able to fully comprehend the Queen Mother's attitude towards her. She was also powerless to resist the Queen Mother's calculations.

Now, she has also experienced wind, frost, rain and snow, and has been tempered by thousands of trials and tribulations. She is about to become a spirit. In terms of political schemes and calculations, the current Queen Mother may not be her opponent.

She could easily see through the little tricks and schemes used by the Queen Mother in the past, and could also easily fight back.

Now, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox.

Let’s see who tells the story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio more excitingly!

Now, who is deceiving whom? Who is plotting against whom?

It depends on who has more sophisticated means!

However, after Chen Lihua came back, apart from meeting Queen Mother Wang, she did not see any other concubines, and even Queen Wei did not show up.

She also did not meet Emperor Wu of Qin, whom she had resented for more than 20 years.

Thinking of that ungrateful, heartless man, Chen Lihua's heart felt as if it were gently pierced by a fine needle, and blood slowly seeped out, flowing endlessly...

Deep in her heart, she was secretly looking forward to the moment of reunion, eager to see whether Emperor Wu of Qin had also become an old man.

I would like to see him being extremely unlucky, being ambushed, and being trampled into the mud.

She really wanted to know whether Emperor Wu of Qin regretted what he had done to her?

However, this thought was fleeting, because she knew very well that Emperor Wu of Qin was a heartless man.

Such people will never realize their mistakes.

They will not repent for the evil things they have done.

As her thoughts raced, the hatred within Chen Lihua's heart, like a wildfire fanned by a spring breeze, quietly spread and intensified...

Chen Lihua gently beckoned her attentive and alert maidservant to her side, and softly instructed, "Have our people keep a close eye on Queen Mother Wang and Emperor Wu of Qin. I want to be fully aware of every little move they make, and not miss a single one."

Then he thought for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, like a wild beast ready to attack at any time.

"Let Magu find a way to poison the Queen Mother! She's been pampered in the palace for so many years, it's time she suffered. This is punishment for how they deceived and exploited us, mother and daughter!"

After a moment's silence, he spoke again, with a hint of cruelty in his voice.

"If we can find an opportunity to poison Emperor Wu of Qin, we can use a poison that will make him want to neither live nor die!"

"I can't let him die so easily. I want him to suffer in agony, like a dying wild dog, struggling in vain in despair."

Those words were filled with deep hatred and a determination to seek revenge.

Chen Lihua warned again, "You must be careful and cautious. After all, this is the imperial palace and the security is extremely strict. You must not be discovered."

"Yes, Master."

"We had already quietly deployed a large number of personnel in the palace, and this time we took the opportunity to bring in more than a dozen maids."

"They are not ordinary maids. They are all masters of martial arts who have undergone rigorous training. They can definitely do many things for us quietly in the palace."

"With them, it will be much easier for us to do whatever we want or take action against anyone in the harem."

"After all, they will protect their master well and will never let you suffer any loss."

Chen Lihua nodded slightly and gave her an approving look.

She had been gathering her strength in the "Xiangshan Villa" for so many years, training a large number of loyal warriors, and at the same time, accumulating huge wealth, just waiting for this moment to overthrow Emperor Wu of Qin's throne and let her son inherit the throne.

Seizing the throne from Emperor Wu of Qin would be the greatest revenge on him. He would die with his eyes wide open watching his throne being snatched away by others!

At this moment, a young palace maid hurried into the hall, her expression filled with anxiety as she leaned over to report, "Master, Empress Wei has sent her personal maid, who is requesting an audience outside the hall."

Chen Lihua immediately looked very weak and lay back down on the bed.

Then, he asked the maid to pull the curtain in front of the bed tightly.

Then he said in an extremely weak voice, "Quickly call her in!"

Soon, a female official who was about forty years old walked in slowly with light steps, and then knelt on the ground to salute respectfully.

"This servant greets Princess Chen."

Hearing the name "Princess Chen", Chen Lihua felt it was extremely ironic.

Her current identity is indeed very embarrassing. I guess this female official must have worked very hard to rack her brains to come up with such a title!

At this moment, an extremely weak voice came from the curtain, "Lady, please get up quickly! I wonder what brings you here this time?"

The female official smiled gently, "The Empress asked me to come and ask if there is anything missing from the Princess's palace. I will have it delivered as soon as possible."

Chen Lihua added, "As for me, it's hard to predict how much time I have left in my life. I'm truly grateful that the Empress still cares about me so much."

"Now that I have found a place in this imperial palace, I am extremely fortunate. How could I dare to ask for more?"

The female official was also a thoughtful and considerate person. Seeing this, she immediately smiled and gently comforted her, "Princess, please don't overthink it. The most important thing right now is to rest and recuperate. With time, you will gradually recover."

"Thank you for your concern, Her Majesty. I will definitely take good care of myself. As the saying goes, a good death is worse than a miserable life. I will not give up my life easily if I can live one more day." Chen Lihua said this with a look of sincere gratitude.

The female official exchanged a few polite words, then said goodbye and left.

After the female official left, Chen Lihua sat up from the bed again. The maid helped her put on her embroidered shoes before she walked out from behind the curtain.

The weakness just now disappeared in an instant.

She whispered softly to the personal nanny beside her, "That Queen Wei has a gentle and kind temperament. No matter what she is doing, she always appears to be very sensible and virtuous."

"But after decades of hard work, she devoted all her energy and tirelessly worked, and in the end, what did she get in return?"

"Whether it's love or respect, she hasn't truly received anything. I think she's a very sad woman."
