Chapter 238 The wavering murderous intention!
Kyoto.
After learning that the Queen fell ill in bed because of the death of Duke Zhao, Concubine Shu was in a very happy mood. However, after hearing about Jiang Xi and Wu Xingming's life, her good mood was instantly wiped out.
"What a lifeless trouble! She is so badly injured, why can't she die?"
Upon hearing this, the trusted maidservant beside him rolled her eyes and whispered:
"My queen, you are pregnant with a prince now, so you have to make plans for the prince in your belly. Think about it, Duke Zhao, who has always been able to fight against the princess, is dead! Then the princess will be the only one in power in the court. If the princess really has such thoughts, the emperor's throne is afraid..."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu was shocked and gritted her teeth and said, "No, the throne will be inherited by the prince in my belly from now on!!"
"Your Majesty, that's why! The most important thing now is to make sure that the Emperor can sit firmly on the throne. Your Majesty, now is a good time. You should go and persuade the Emperor... You have to make the Emperor understand his situation. In the past, he had the Duke of Zhao to contend with him, but now... he is in danger!"
Concubine Shu: “…”
"Someone, prepare some snacks!"
When the senior palace maid saw that Concubine Shu had listened to her words, she found an excuse and asked another palace maid to accompany Concubine Shu to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor.
She secretly came to the Queen's bedroom and knelt down in front of the Queen's bed. The Queen's nanny stood beside her and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu took my words to heart! Now she is going to see the Emperor!"
The queen, who was half lying on the bed, was originally pale and expressionless, but after hearing this, she slowly moved her eyes: "Okay, and the baby in her belly..."
"Don't worry, Madam. I have made Concubine Shu take medicine on time every day. The baby in her belly will stop at three months forever."
Queen: "Well, go back! Don't let anyone see any clues..."
"Yes, Queen, I will take my leave!"
After the maid saw the person leave, she asked, "Madam, can this concubine shake the emperor's heart?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen sneered: "Mammy, do you think our current emperor will really care about the relationship between a brother and a sister? Haha! Born in an imperial family, no matter what kind of relationship it is, under the temptation of that position, it is enough to make a person become cold-blooded."
"Mammy, my father is gone! His regrets will be fulfilled by his daughter, me! I will make the descendants of the Zhao family enjoy wealth and glory forever."
Madam: "Madam, what are you doing?"
The Queen: "Mammy, I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant again. The court doctor took her pulse and it's been two months. The court doctor said it's very likely to be a boy... So, tomorrow I will tell the emperor the good news that I'm two months pregnant!"
When the nanny heard this, she thought about it carefully, covered her mouth in shock, and then stammered: "Madam, you...you are..."
"Mammy, you are my wet nurse, are you willing to accompany me on this journey?"
"My lady, I have watched you grow up, and I will always be by your side..."
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, are you going to wait for the eldest princess to recover from her wounds before stabbing you in the back? Duke Zhao is dead, and from now on the eldest princess will be the only one in power in the court. When Duke Zhao was alive, the eldest princess was unwilling to give up power, let alone now that Duke Zhao is gone. No one can compete with her, Your Majesty..."
After Jiang Jinheng lost his temper and yelled at Concubine Shu to leave, he calmed down and kept thinking about what Concubine Shu had just said in his mind.
He sat quietly in the Hall of Mental Cultivation all night. After dawn, Jiang Jinheng looked at the light coming in from outside and waved to call the shadow guard.
"Go prepare for me..."
Upon hearing this, the shadow guard raised his head and looked at Jiang Jinheng in surprise. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly lowered his head and agreed.
After Jiang Jinheng took the medicine bottle, he left the palace and went all the way to the Princess's Mansion. He entered Jiang Xihe's room and saw Yunzhu was about to feed her medicine. He quickly took it over and said, "I will feed my sister myself. You go out! My sister and I have something to talk about..."
Yunzhu: "I'll take my leave."
After Yunzhu left, Jiang Jinheng looked at his sister who had not yet woken up. After feeling some pain in his heart, he took out a small porcelain bottle and poured some into the medicine.
Then, she turned around with the medicine in her hand and saw Jiang Xihe who had woken up. Her hands couldn't help but tremble: "Sister...Sister, are you awake?"
Jiang Xihe: "Well, what's the matter? Are you unhappy that my sister didn't die?"
"How could that be? These past few days, I have been so worried about my sister that I don't even have the mood to attend court..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xihe looked at the medicine bowl he was holding and said, "But you need to take medicine again? I, your sister, am afraid of bitterness. Do you have any sugar prepared?"
“Yes…yes.”
Just as she was about to feed the medicine to Jiang Xihe's mouth, she moved the spoon away and explained unnaturally: "Royal sister, the medicine is cold. I'll ask someone to bring it down and heat it up again."
"No need to bother, just give it to me! As long as the efficacy is the same..." After Jiang Xihe said this, he snatched the medicine bowl from Jiang Jinheng's hand and planned to drink it in one gulp.
"Sister, wait a minute..."
Hearing this, Jiang Xihe stopped and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you acting so weird today?"
Jiang Jinheng's heart was in a mess at this time, and it was divided into two halves. One half was the murderous intention awakened by Concubine Shu, and the other half was the reluctance to part with his own sister.
In the end, it just became one sentence: "It's okay!"
It was not until I saw Jiang Xihe finish drinking the medicine with my own eyes that he spit out blood and fainted after a while.
Jiang Jinheng collapsed when he saw this scene: "Sister! Someone come! Someone come quickly!"
He regretted it!!!
In the Princess's Mansion, everyone was in chaos in an instant. All the imperial doctors rushed straight to the mansion. After Jiang Jinheng had been guarding for two hours, everyone persuaded him to go back to the palace to rest!
Jiang Jinheng returned to the palace in a daze. He knew that his elder sister was beyond saving. He had personally poisoned her with the poison, the red-crowned crane. There was no saving her! He felt more regret in his heart, but he knew that deep down in his heart, there was a trace of joy...
The Princess's Mansion, which had just been in chaos, was now in chaos after Jiang Jinheng returned to the palace. The Princess, who seemed to be dying, sat up from the bed and said, "Ah Heng, Sister did give you a chance..."
On the other hand, after Madam Xue told Grandpa Xue her thoughts that day, Grandpa Xue sent people to investigate. They found some clues, but there was no clear indication that there was definitely a problem.
After all, it happened so long ago that it wasn't easy to investigate. After hesitating for a while, the two old men decided to come to Xu Zhiyi to find out more.
Xu Zhiyi was busy on the second floor of Yanyi Pavilion when he heard someone looking for him. He went downstairs and saw that it was Old Madam Xue, who was with an old man. Surprisingly, this was not the old man from that day.
Old Master Xue stared at Xu Zhiyi's face and nodded repeatedly in his heart, he looks so much like his brother-in-law!
