Crown Prince Jun Zechen, the Empress's legitimate son, was young and accomplished. At fifteen, he was honored as Crown Prince, and at seventeen, he led an army to war, achieving swift victory. ...
Qiluan Palace.
Ever since Jun Zechen sent an imperial physician over, Ling Yue felt like she was in a nightmare every day, and had to drink medicine under the imperial physician's strong coercion.
She was full of resistance and shook her head desperately, not wanting to drink the bitter-smelling medicine, but the imperial physician had a stern face and said coldly that the medicine only made her appear weak in order to create the illusion that she would die suddenly in a month.
Ling Yue had to drink.
The imperial physician is the prince's man. He stands by ruthlessly every day and won't leave until he sees Ling Yue drink the medicine with his own eyes.
Ling Yue believed the imperial physician's words at first, but as the one-month deadline drew closer, she was horrified to find that her physical condition was getting worse and worse.
She felt weak all over, as if all her energy had been drained away. She was extremely weak and listless all day long. She could only lie lifeless in bed.
She was filled with fear. Why did she feel like she was really going to die?
Today is the last day of this month, and the imperial physician came to Qiluan Palace again.
He brought a bowl of medicine with an expressionless face, with steam still coming out of the edge of the bowl.
The palace maid was ordered to feed the medicine into Ling Yue's mouth spoonful by spoonful. Ling Yue wanted to spit it out, but she had no strength left at this time, and even had difficulty opening her eyes. She could only swallow the medicine in her mouth with difficulty because of her body instinctively.
The imperial physician stood aside as usual, observing the Crown Princess's expression and condition, not missing any subtle changes and recording them all carefully.
After Ling Yue completely fainted, the palace maids in Qiluan Palace burst into tears.
Some of them fell on the bed, some covered their faces and sobbed, and the whole palace was immersed in grief.
In a short time, the news of the Crown Princess' sudden death spread throughout the palace like a gust of wind, and even the Queen heard about it.
A month ago, the Queen heard that the Crown Princess had a sudden acute illness and was not mentally clear. She seemed to have delusions and was talking nonsense. The royal family has always been very taboo about talking about ghosts and gods.
The prince sent an imperial physician to treat the patient carefully, but there was no improvement. Unexpectedly, the disease was so serious that he died in just one month.
Could it be that I was really possessed by a ghost and was taking my life?
The Queen always felt that something was not right, but then she thought again and realized that the Crown Princess was of no value to her.
She had neither a distinguished family background to support the crown prince, nor was she able to conceive and give birth to a child for the crown prince.
Just die.
The Queen no longer paid any attention to the Crown Princess, and there was no trace of regret on her face.
The prince did not deliberately stop Ling Yue from talking nonsense, so rumors spread to every corner of the palace about the abnormality of the princess.
However, the Crown Prince did not despise the Crown Princess. He even ordered the imperial physician to take good care of her for a whole month, but the Crown Princess was unable to recover.
The palace servants were even more terrified, and they spread rumors privately that the Qiluan Palace was not clean, and they believed that the Crown Princess had been killed by an invisible evil creature.
After Ling Yue's "death", because His Majesty was seriously ill, the palace could not hold a funeral, and the palace people did not seem to feel much about the death of the Crown Princess.
Everyone thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had buried the Crown Princess, but Ling Yue had actually been sent to Chonghua Temple by Jun Zechen.
Ling Yue spoke without thinking and even told others such a ridiculous thing as rebirth, so Jun Zechen had to be on guard.
Whether he was the crown prince or ascended the throne as emperor, he would never allow anything that could be a stain to exist on him.
If someone were to make a big fuss about this, spreading the news that the current crown prince was also possessed by ghosts and gods, and then incite the people and court officials to rebel, then things would get out of control.
Since Ling Yue dared to tell Ye Yaqin this time, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives after leaving the palace.
Once the rumor that he was also possessed by ghosts spread, it would be difficult to stop the gossip.
Since Ling Yue treated him one way on the surface and another way behind his back, there was no need for him to show any mercy to Ling Yue.
The imperial physician he sent to Qiluan Palace to take care of Ling Yue, under his instructions, gave Ling Yue a chronic poison.
The poison would make her spirit more and more depressed, and her nerves would gradually relax, thus making her lose the ability to resist.
Jun Zechen was worried about what happened to Ling Yue and Su Jingyao in their previous life. Since Ling Yue was seeking his own death, he would take advantage of her thoroughly.
At this moment, Ling Yue should have been sent to the secret room of Chonghua Temple. Jun Zechen couldn't wait to know all of Ling Yue's memories of his previous life.
-
Although Ye Yaqin appeared calm and composed on the surface, she was still anxious in her heart. She had no idea to what extent the words she said in Yude Hall last time would have any effect.
She could only secretly send a message to her father asking him not to do anything outrageous.
My father holds the military power firmly in his hands, and the influence of the Ye family in the court cannot be underestimated. As long as the prince does not have any solid evidence, he will not be able to do anything to the Ye family for a while.
She must now be extremely cautious and not act rashly.
The concubine was pregnant, and the crown prince and the queen kept a close eye on her. Even if she had any evil thoughts in her heart, she would never find a chance to take action.
and......
Even if she really had to take action, she would never be stupid enough to do it herself.
Thinking of this, a hint of cruelty suddenly flashed across Ye Yaqin's eyes.
If what Ling Yue said at the beginning was true, then the prerequisite for the prince to get rid of the Ye family was that he was deeply in love with Su Jingyao.
But Su Jingyao is now pregnant, and the prince still favors other concubines like them. Ye Yaqin can see that the prince is obsessed with having an offspring.
