Chapter 209: Poison
"I remember that Defei sister also slept with me many times. It's just that sister herself is not blessed."
"You!" Defei was furious when she saw her mocking her in public.
De Fei suddenly said, "Sister Da Fei, although it is inappropriate, the Queen is after all the Majesty's first wife. Now that the Majesty is seriously ill, if you really want to use the witch doctor again, you might as well ask the Queen to come out and make the decision!"
"Sister Defei, do you think I'm dead?"
"She is now deposed. How dare you go against His Majesty's words and invite her out? Does she deserve it?"
A Lingzhu's face changed completely and she glared at Concubine De.
Concubine De snorted coldly: "Sister Grand Concubine, you are wrong. His Majesty did not depose the Queen. He just confined her to Qifeng Palace and never saw her again until she died."
"As long as Your Majesty has not deposed the Queen, the Queen will always be the Queen of Beirong!"
"Besides, the queen is the adopted mother of the King of the North Courtyard. Even if it is for the sake of the King of the North Courtyard's face, the queen is not qualified to make the decision!"
Hearing De Fei say this, A Ling Zhu suddenly laughed: "De Fei, you are not afraid that it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away!"
"Someone, come here, Concubine De is tired, send her back to the palace!" A Lingzhu gave the order directly.
The guards and palace maids surrounded her instantly, and Concubine De was panicked for a moment.
I never thought that the Queen Mother's power was so great. With just one word, these people immediately flocked to work for her.
"Hmph, I can leave on my own! Big Sister Dowager, think carefully about whether you want to use a witch doctor or not!"
After saying this, Concubine De turned around and left without looking back.
A Lingzhu narrowed her eyes and glanced at Gu Zanli: "Find someone to follow."
"Yes." Gu Zanli accepted the order, and soon a palace servant trotted after her.
"You, follow me in!" A Lingzhu pointed at the witch doctor.
The witch doctor nodded and followed her into the bedroom of the Beirong Emperor.
There was only one old palace maid serving by the bed in the bedroom, and the other palace maids stood there like decorations.
When they saw the Queen Dowager coming in with her entourage, they all knelt down and saluted.
The old palace maid was wiping the body of Emperor Beirong, and did not stop when she came in.
A Lingzhu was used to it, so she brought Gu Zanli and the witch doctor to the bedside.
"You go down, I'll serve you here." A Lingzhu instructed the old palace maid.
The old palace servant was still wiping Emperor Beirong slowly. A Lingzhu's face turned ugly and she stepped forward and grabbed the old palace servant's hand.
"Chao Lu, how dare you be so contemptuous when I'm talking to you!"
Chao Lu stopped what he was doing, stood up and looked at A Lingzhu: "You are the Queen Mother, how dare this old slave disrespect you?"
"Who are you being sarcastic about?" A Lingzhu was extremely angry.
Chao Lu sneered: "Even if I am a weird person, do you dare to kill me?"
"You!" A Lingzhu glared at Chao Lu. She really didn't dare to kill him.
After all, it was Chaolu who raised her. When her family was framed by a villain, it was Chaolu who hid her and brought her into the palace to raise her.
Later, she helped his parents find evidence and clear their grievances. It can be said that without Chao Lu, there would be no A Lingzhu today.
But he was a servant after all, and he shouldn't trample on her face like this.
If she had married Walida, none of these things would have happened, and she would not have become enemies with Chaolu.
But it was Chaolu's fault that she failed to marry Walida. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have chosen the Emperor of Beirong, and there wouldn't have been all those calculations later...
She was grateful to Chao Lu and also resented him, but she didn't dare to kill him.
"Someone, take Chaolu away!" A Lingzhu turned around and gave the order angrily, and soon a palace servant came forward.
Chao Lu glanced at everyone, and the palace servants dared not come forward.
"What are you going to do now!" Chao Lu looked at A Lingzhu calmly, then glanced at the witch doctor.
A Lingzhu also looked at him and raised her hand, and the palace servants quickly retreated.
When only she, Gu Zanli and the witch doctor were left, she spoke: "Father Chao Lugan, you should be the one helping me!"
"As long as the emperor takes that position..."
"He can't sit, A Lingzhu, you know, and it's not suitable to drag it!" Chao Lu interrupted her directly.
A Lingzhu growled angrily: "Huang'er is also your grandson, why do you think he is so unpromising? As long as Huang'er takes that position, why do you still need to serve him?"
"I am just a eunuch. I was born to serve others. I have served the royal family for my whole life. I am used to it."
"I have served three emperors, so how could I not know whether he is suitable to be an emperor? The most obvious choice is for him to be an idle prince."
"Let alone the King of the North Court, even the sickly King of the South Court is more suitable than Yetuo. Why do you insist on pushing him to an unsuitable position?"
A Lingzhu flicked her sleeves and glared at Chao Lu.
"My son is a rare talent. Why should he be relegated to being an idle prince?"
"If I had married Walida, how could I be here today?"
"Chao Lu, if you hadn't stopped me, I would be the Princess of the North Courtyard. You owe me this. I don't ask you to help me, I just hope you don't stop me!"
After saying that, he winked at Gu Zanli, who immediately stepped forward and pulled Chao Lu away.
The witch doctor walked forward, took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to A Lingzhu.
"My Queen, the thing is inside. It was grown with your blood. Even though it is not fully grown, it is enough. You can feed it to Your Majesty yourself, and then use your blood to assist, and then it will be done."
A Lingzhu looked at the things in her hand, nodded, and walked towards the bed.
"A Lingzhu, don't be stubborn anymore. Even if you succeed, the officials in the court will not allow a useless prince to sit in that position."
"Not to mention that the King of the North Court will not allow it, even the King of the South Court will not sit idly by! Do you really want to kill yourself and Yetuo?"
After listening to Chao Lu's words, A Lingzhu hesitated for a moment, but she still insisted on opening the porcelain jar.
She looked at the squirming thing in the porcelain jar with some disdain, but the witch doctor said, "Queen, take it out with your hands. The poisonous insect will suck your blood and feed it to His Majesty."
A Lingzhu hesitated, but Gu Zanli spoke in a panic: "Grand Concubine, Concubine De is coming this way with the deposed queen."
Hearing this, A Lingzhu no longer hesitated and reached out to take out the things inside.
The ugly thing bit her finger. A Lingzhu frowned slightly, reached out and pinched Emperor Beirong's jaw, forcing him to open his mouth.
She put the poisonous insect into his mouth. She watched it wriggle its body, crawl towards Emperor Beirong's throat, and then disappear. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
She took out a handkerchief and leisurely wiped the blood off her hands, while looking towards the gate.
The door was pushed open forcefully, and Queen Su Rina walked in with Concubine De.
Then a palace maid was pushed to the ground. She was the one sent by Gu Zanli to follow Concubine De.
"A Lingzhu, what on earth did you do to His Majesty!" Defei asked angrily as soon as she came in.
