Chapter 2025 Death
Both of them were in a very low mood, and there was a hint of panic and fear in their feelings, but there was also a hint of excitement in their fear.
Although since Taoist Shang Zhen was sent to the palace, neither Imperial Concubine Mei nor the Fourth Prince had ever contacted Taoist Shang Zhen privately, nor had they ever asked Taoist Shang Zhen for help.
But Taoist Shang Zhen is indeed on the side of Imperial Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince.
The reason for not contacting him was because Concubine Mei knew Emperor Xuan of Qi's temper too well.
If she dared to contact Taoist Shang Zhen in private, even just once, even if she only said a few insignificant words, it would be almost impossible for Taoist Shang Zhen to gain the trust of Emperor Xuan of Qi.
Emperor Xuan of Qi was more suspicious and possessive than anyone else.
Taoist Shang Zhen felt the pulse of Emperor Xuan of Qi and shook his head gently at Concubine Mei.
The emperor is almost at the end of his rope. Unless the gods lend a helping hand this time, he will not be as lucky as he was the first two times.
Maybe the emperor won’t even be able to wake up.
Concubine Mei's whole body was tense, her hands were clenched tightly, and her body was still shaking and trembling uncontrollably.
Nervous, excited, terrified, afraid, determined...
She knew what she wanted to do and had to do it.
The emperor has not yet deposed the prince, so the prince might as well die!
Concubine Mei left Qianqiu Palace as usual.
Qianqiu Palace was already under the control of her and Taoist Shang Zhen. She had lured and captured those who were loyal to the emperor, and killed them all and threw them into the well behind Qianqiu Palace. Now that Taoist Shang Zhen was guarding the place, she didn't have to worry.
If she stayed here too long, she would arouse suspicion.
The Queen and Concubine Sun De are not vegetarians.
The emperor's health has been deteriorating in the past two years, and the empress and Concubine Sun De have been keeping a close eye on Qianqiu Palace.
Not to mention them, even if any of them came to Qianqiu Palace, she would also keep a close eye on them.
She had already started, and there was no turning back.
You can only charge forward with all your might.
So, at noon that day, the prince was in the study of the East Palace, drank a cup of tea, and died suddenly!
It has been more than ten years since Concubine Mei arranged this thorn in her side, but it finally came in handy.
The incident happened suddenly and could not be covered up.
Besides, the Crown Princess did not have such great abilities or such a strong character. When she heard the news of the Crown Prince's sudden death, she was completely stunned and just thought it was a joke.
Who dares to make such a joke? Damn it!
When she came to her senses, the Crown Princess completely collapsed!
The Crown Princess screamed almost crazily and rushed towards the East Palace study like crazy.
She still held on to some hope in her heart that the prince might be able to be saved, that he would not die! There was absolutely no way he would die!
The prince had dinner with her yesterday, and he attended court this morning. How could such a healthy person die?
This is fake, it must be fake...
After seeing that the Crown Prince had really turned into a cold corpse, the Crown Princess collapsed even more. She screamed and cried, asking people to quickly call the imperial physician and save the Crown Prince. She never thought about cleaning up the mess, rushing to the palace, calling the eldest grandson of the Emperor, or summoning the trusted old ministers...
The news of the Crown Prince's sudden death quickly spread outside the East Palace!
The Fourth Prince was well prepared. He sent his trusted confidants out of the capital to gather manpower, and at the same time he brought his capable guards into the palace.
Emperor Xuan of Qi also passed away more than an hour before the Crown Prince. Taoist Shang Zhen simply dissolved the elixirs of immortality that the Crown Prince usually took in water and increased the dosage several times before feeding him. Emperor Xuan of Qi soon stopped breathing!
