Chapter 2026 Dirty Water
No matter how skilled the imperial physician was, he would not be able to find out why the emperor was poisoned.
The Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Mei went straight to Qianqiu Palace, and soon there were thunderous cries: The Emperor learned that the Crown Prince had died suddenly, and being old and frail to begin with, he could not bear the blow and passed away!
The Empress, Consort Sun Defei, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, as well as royal relatives, officials of the first and second ranks and generals, soon entered the palace one after another.
There is chaos in the palace!
Concubine Mei was the first to complain, and she complained and questioned Empress Qi, questioning in public whether it was Empress Qi and her son who killed the Emperor?
Imperial Concubine Mei had prepared a speech long ago, and her accusation was convincing and well-reasoned.
The emperor's health has been getting worse in the past two years. The queen and the third prince have been very active in the past two years. Needless to say, we all know what the queen is thinking.
How could the prince suddenly die? It must have been the Queen's doing! The Queen was unwilling to be the Queen while her son had no chance of becoming the prince. Seeing the Emperor's health deteriorating, it was very likely that the Queen could no longer bear it and would attack the prince!
The Crown Prince was poisoned to death, and the Emperor was angered to death. The Emperor did not have time to leave a will. Since the Third Prince was the legitimate son, wouldn't it be natural for the country to fall into the hands of the Third Prince?
The queen is really scheming and cruel!
In this way, it is true that the Queen and the Third Prince benefited the most. Everyone looked at the Queen and the Third Prince with some doubt and vigilance.
Empress Qi was almost mad with anger!
This bitch is crying thief!
But she had already lost the initiative. Even if she and the third prince tried their best to deny it, it would be impossible to dispel the suspicion in everyone's mind.
After all, it is a fact that the emperor did not leave a will for succession, and it is also a fact that the prince died suddenly.
No matter how hard the Queen and the Third Prince tried to deny it, what was the use? Unless they said in public that they would not fight for the throne!
But why don’t they fight? They are the most qualified to fight, so why don’t they fight?
The bitch Concubine Mei poured such a huge basin of dirty water on their heads, there is absolutely no way she would let them go.
If the Fourth Prince succeeds to the throne in the future, they and their son will have no way out but death!
Even if he doesn't die, he will be imprisoned for life.
It would be better to just die.
Empress Qi and the Third Prince angrily denied it, and then turned around and accused the Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine Mei of doing it.
The reason is that the mother and son have always been insidious. Everyone knows that the Fourth Prince openly opposes the Crown Prince, and everyone knows the Fourth Prince's ambition.
Moreover, when the Crown Prince died suddenly, the Fourth Prince was the first to enter the palace, and he brought so many people with him, it was obvious that he came prepared!
It means he knew it a long time ago.
As for Concubine Mei, she just went to Qianqiu Palace yesterday, and the emperor passed away today. Who knows if there is any inside story?
The Taoist Shang Zhen was the one presented to the Emperor by Concubine Mei’s family. Now he is missing. There must be something fishy going on here!
Of course Imperial Concubine Mei and the Fourth Prince did not admit it. What Empress Qi and the Third Prince said was all conjecture and nonsense, with no evidence at all!
Taoist Shang Zhen was already somewhat famous. The emperor was looking for an expert, and what was wrong with Concubine Mei and her family helping him share his worries?
Now that the emperor has passed away, Taoist Shang Zhen might be worried that without the emperor's protection, some people who have long disliked him will not let him go, so he secretly left. It is also human nature. What does it have to do with them mother and son?
