Chapter 186 Queen Nan and Wei Xu must die, and he must watch them die with his own eyes!
Queen Nan's body was stiff, and her face was full of disbelief.
How is that possible!
How could he possibly wake up!
So many doctors said that he was really poisoned!
Even if he wasn't poisoned, there were still parasites in his body.
After such a long time, those poisonous insects have almost eaten away his internal organs. How could he possibly wake up?
Could it be... Chu Huaishan?
Queen Nan immediately looked towards Chu Huaishan.
But Chu Huaishan had a blank expression on his face, and nothing could be seen from his face alone.
"Empress." The Nanzhao Emperor spoke again, "I am speaking to you."
Queen Nan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked at Emperor Nanzhao.
There was a pillow behind the Nanzhao Emperor, and he leaned there lazily. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes were bright and lively, and he did not look like a dying person at all.
Looking at the Nanzhao Emperor like this, Queen Nan's heart sank to the bottom.
But the next moment, Queen Nan showed excitement on her face and walked quickly towards Emperor Nanzhao.
"Your Majesty! You're awake!"
"You're finally awake! You don't know how much I've worried about you day and night! Fortunately, God helps those who work hard. You've finally woken up, and I can finally let go of my worry!"
Queen Nan spoke with tears in her eyes, as if she was really very excited.
But the Emperor of Nanzhao just looked at Queen Nan coldly, and was not moved by her behavior at all.
It was not until Queen Nan could no longer cry and her movements became increasingly stiff that Emperor Nanzhao looked at Jiang Liyang.
"My dear, please tell me everything you have found out!"
Jiang Liyang bowed respectfully and then spoke slowly.
"After the Emperor fell into a coma for no apparent reason, I began to have doubts. For so many years, the Emperor has been in good health. How could he have fallen into a coma for no apparent reason?"
"After the imperial physicians were all helpless, I suggested inviting the head of Medicine King Valley to come. The Queen objected at first, but finally agreed under my pressure!"
"Since the Valley Master arrived in the capital, he has been under the close surveillance of the Empress. The Empress did not allow the Emperor to take the medicine prescribed by the Valley Master, but secretly replaced it with another medicine."
"Later, the Queen wanted to poison the Emperor and set her sights on the Seventh Prince. Taking advantage of the Seventh Prince's familiarity with the Valley Master's close disciple, Yu Youning, she wanted to frame the Seventh Prince for the poisoning and, by the way, eliminate the Jiang family, thereby completely controlling the court and supporting the Third Prince to ascend to the throne."
Queen Nan listened to Jiang Liyang's words and became more flustered, but also more angry. "You are talking nonsense! What evidence do you have?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down! I do have evidence! If I didn't have it, I wouldn't dare say such a thing!"
Jiang Liyang clapped his hands as he spoke, and soon people came in one after another.
After kneeling down, these people revealed one by one what Queen Nan had asked them to do and the evidence they had left behind.
With all the witnesses and evidence, even if Queen Nan doesn't admit it, she can still be convicted.
Queen Nan's body softened and she fell directly to the ground, a sneer appearing on her pale face.
"When did the emperor wake up?"
"What does the Queen think?" The Nanzhao Emperor asked instead of answering.
Queen Nan pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes were full of resentment.
The Emperor of Nanzhao had already lost all patience with Queen Nan, and after seeing the look in her eyes, he felt even more disgusted.
"Why is the Queen staring at me like this? Could it be that the Queen thinks it's my fault that you've fallen into this state?"
"Of course it's your fault!" Queen Nan roared, her face distorted.
The ending was already determined, and Queen Nan stopped acting. She sneered and spoke slowly.
"I am your queen. From the first day I married you, I have worked diligently to manage your inner court, take care of your harem, give you advice, and solve all the problems that worried you."
"But what about you? You used to be polite to me, but after you met that bitch Jiang Niyue, you were so obsessed with her that you didn't even give me any respect!"
"I am the queen! The son I gave birth to is the legitimate son! How could you possibly think of making the bastard child of that bitch Jiang Niyue the crown prince? Where do you put me by doing this?"
Queen Nan cried and sobbed, but Emperor Nanzhao was not moved at all.
"I am the Emperor. I can appoint whomever I want as Crown Prince. Who told you that because you are the Empress, your son will definitely succeed to the throne? My mother was not the Empress before, and I was not the legitimate son of the Empress! If that's what you say, then am I not worthy of ascending the throne?"
Queen Nan had never thought about this before. When she heard what Emperor Nanzhao said, she was a little surprised. "No... that's not what I meant..."
Queen Nan wanted to explain, but Emperor Nanzhao was no longer interested in listening.
"The Empress colluded with the Third Prince to plot for the throne, poisoned me, and harmed officials in the court. Her crimes are unforgivable, and she is hereby granted suicide."
Empress Nan had already accepted her fate, but after hearing what Emperor Nanzhao said, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty! Xu'er is your biological son! How could you take his life?"
"He wants to kill me, why can't I take his life?"
The Nanzhao Emperor replied coldly, no longer looking at Empress Nan. Instead, he said to the guards waiting beside him, "What are you waiting for? Bring me the poisoned wine. I want to watch them die with my own eyes."
None of those who can become emperor has clean hands, and none of them is kind-hearted.
Whether it was the concubines in the harem scheming against each other, harming officials and ministers in the court, or oppressing the people, the Nanzhao Emperor could tolerate it and give them a chance.
But the only thing he absolutely could not tolerate was poisoning him!
Queen Nan and Wei Xu must die, and he must watch them die with his own eyes!
The poisoned wine was soon served.
Queen Nan looked at the poisoned wine in front of her, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, Xu'er is your biological son! He is so young and doesn't know anything. Can't you give him a chance?"
"I did all this, I admit it, and I would rather die. I only ask the emperor to spare Xu'er's life, even if it means demoting him to a commoner and imprisoning him for life..."
"Have you forgotten what you and he said when you were standing beside my dragon bed?" Emperor Nanzhao asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, Queen Nan was shocked, but she quickly accepted her fate.
No wonder the emperor was so cruel and heartless and insisted on doing this. It turned out that he had already woken up at that time.
The Nanzhao Emperor had been keeping an eye on Empress Nan. Seeing the expression on her face, he chuckled, "Judging from your actions, you should have remembered. If you still want to retain some dignity, do it yourself. Otherwise, I'll have to let the guards do it."
When Queen Nan heard this, she became even more desperate.
She knew that at this point, there was really no other way out.
Queen Nan looked at the frightened Wei Xu, and her heart ached. "Xu'er, don't be afraid. Your mother will always be with you—"
Before Queen Nan finished her words, Wei Xu suddenly woke up from a dream and started shouting.
"I don't want to die!"
"Father, I don't want to die!"
"All of this was done by the Queen Mother!"
"She wanted me to be the emperor! She made me kill my father! She's responsible for everything!"
When Queen Nan heard Wei Xu's words, although she was a little surprised, she soon smiled sadly, picked up the wine glass, and drank the poisoned wine in it.
As soon as she drank the poisoned wine, Queen Nan covered her stomach, staggered a few times, and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were wide open, staring straight at the Nanzhao Emperor.
This looks like he died with his eyes open.
The Nanzhao Emperor sneered and waved his hand in disgust, "Carry him out and throw him into a mass grave."
Many people were shocked when they heard this.
They knew that the emperor hated the queen and that she had done too many wrong things, but the queen was already dead and the emperor didn't even give her the dignity to die.
The Queen of Nanzhao was thrown into a mass grave after her death. If the people of Nanzhao knew about this, how would they view the Emperor?
But no matter what they thought in their hearts, no one dared to persuade them.
The emperor is very angry now. If you dare to speak at this time, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
Queen Nan's body was quickly carried away.
Wei Xu was almost scared silly. He cried and made a fuss, hoping that the Emperor of Nanzhao would forgive him.
Some ministers could not bear it and came forward to plead for Wei Xu.
"Your Majesty, this incident was mainly caused by the Queen. The Third Prince was still young and was deceived by the Queen, which is why he did these things. Now that the Queen is dead, please forgive the Third Prince and spare his life!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Nanzhao looked at the minister who had spoken with an expressionless face, "You are quite broad-minded."
Before the minister could say anything, the Emperor of Nanzhao changed the subject, "This man is in cahoots with the Empress and is a traitor. He must be executed immediately!"
The minister looked up in shock, looking at the Nanzhao Emperor in disbelief, "Your Majesty—"
He had just said these two words when another guard drew the long sword from his waist and slashed at him.
With a "puff", blood splattered everywhere.
The living person who was standing there just now was now lying on the ground, his body twitching constantly, but soon he became motionless, deader than dead.
The Nanzhao Emperor's face was gloomy. "Anyone who pleads for Wei Xu will be considered an accomplice. All accomplices will be killed without mercy!"
Everyone's heart trembled and they subconsciously shrank their necks.
The emperor was obviously furious at this time, and they would not challenge his patience.
Seeing that no one was talking, the Nanzhao Emperor looked at Wei Xu and asked, "Do you want to drink it yourself, or do you want me to feed you?"
Wei Xu's body shook again. He tilted his head back, his face full of tears, and besides that, there was a deep sense of confusion.
"Father, you clearly told me before that if I did as you said, you would spare my mother. Why didn't you keep your word?"
