Chapter 216 The Royal Family
"You still refuse to admit that you are the reason why the emperor is like this..."
"She is just a bitch who brings disaster to the country!"
"Whoever gets involved with you will be in trouble!"
Li Yuer's body trembled. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she actually shed tears.
Liu Shiqi and Zhuang Yan watched and couldn't bear it. But they did not act impulsively, and the two of them just watched quietly at the door.
Want to know exactly what happened.
[Could it be that Li Yuer really fed poison to the old emperor? 】
[Is the old emperor dead?] 】
[It shouldn’t be that easy!] 】
The person who just scolded Li Yuer.
She was a woman who was about fifty years old, wearing a bright red palace dress with a phoenix pattern.
Zhuang Yan explained in a low voice into Liu Shiqi's ear.
"This is the old emperor's successor, Empress Yao."
Liu Shiqi raised his eyebrows and quickly remembered.
[Oh, yes!] Brother Zhuang’s grandmother was the old emperor’s original queen, Queen Li. 】
[Queen Li gave birth to Brother Zhuang’s father, who is also the former crown prince, Ji Yuexiu! 】
[After Queen Li passed away, the old emperor made a concubine the queen, who is now Queen Yao. 】
[This Queen Yao apparently has no prince, only an eighth princess! 】
[So, all those princes, in order to gain the throne, vied with each other to curry favor with her! I hope Queen Yao can support them! 】
[Even the second crown prince, Ji Yuechen, respected and worshipped Queen Yao as if she were his own mother! 】
[Little did they know that Queen Yao was not as simple as they thought. 】
[Empress Yao had actually been taking every step carefully.]
[Because, she has a prince! It's just that no one else knows about it. All her plans are for this prince! 】
[And this prince is the third prince of Concubine Ding, also the King of Huayan, Ji Yueyan. 】
[What's even more shocking is that Prince Hua Yan is not the biological son of the old emperor, but the illegitimate son of Queen Yao and Prince An! 】
[They wanted to prevent others from discovering the secret, so they killed Concubine Ding's baby when she gave birth, and then placed King Hua Yan in the care of Concubine Ding, asking her to raise him. Until now. 】
Thinking of this, Liu Shiqi secretly looked at Zhuang Yan.
[Speaking of which, Queen Yao and King Hua Yan were the culprits who killed the former crown prince, Brother Zhuang's father! 】
[It was because of Queen Yao's constant whispering that the old emperor became increasingly dissatisfied with the former crown prince and felt that the former crown prince wanted to replace him. 】
[So much so that when King Huayan attacked the prince later, the emperor turned a blind eye. 】
[Allowing the Crown Prince of a country to die miserably like that! 】
[Even the Crown Princess was not spared!] 】
[It’s even more pitiful that Brother Zhuang is so young, displaced, and living under someone else’s roof! 】
[Oh, really!] 】
Zhuang Yan listened to her inner words, clenched his hands tightly, and his eyes were full of storms.
He will make these people pay back a hundredfold for the humiliation that his father and mother have suffered.
"Hit, keep hitting!"
"Beat her until she says so!"
Queen Yao looked at Li Yuer's delicate and beautiful face on the ground, which was completely deformed by the beating. She felt extremely happy in her heart.
The old emperor didn't dote on her much before, but at least he respected her very much.
But ever since this little bitch came, the old emperor has disliked her in every way.
On the contrary, this bitch was held in the palm of the old emperor's hand and protected like his own heart.
She didn't even think about touching this bitch. If she just called her a bitch, the old emperor would come after her.
Whenever Queen Yao thought of this, she became extremely angry.
He had been dominating the harem for decades, but now he would fall into the hands of a bitch.
He also made her suffer many times.
A delicately dressed girl frowned, pulled Queen Yao's clothes and said.
"Mother, calm down. Don't hurt yourself for this kind of people!"
"And if you hit anyone again, you'll die!"
Queen Yao nodded and raised her hand.
The palace maid who was beating the man stopped.
Queen Yao curled her lips into a cruel smile.
"I'll let you go for now!"
She thought that the old emperor was about to die. Since he likes this bitch so much.
Then let this bitch go down and be buried with the old emperor.
Just think that she was kind-hearted and let them stay together even after they die...
Liu Shiqi felt a little reluctant when he saw Li Yuer's bloody face after being beaten.
[Will it not be disfigured?] What a pity for such a pretty face! 】
[Oh, that’s right!] You can find your grandfather! 】
[He will definitely be able to cure Li Yuer’s face!] 】
Zhuang Yan also felt a little bit reluctant.
After all, Li Yuer is Brother Miao's person, and she even gave birth to a pair of children for him.
Brother Miao also recognized her.
But they cannot act rashly now because the time is not right.
Liu Shiqi frowned and thought, [It seems that Queen Yao has planned to let Li Yuer take the responsibility for the old emperor's poisoning! 】
[Now no matter what Li Yuer says, no matter if there is evidence or not, no one will believe her! 】
[But that’s true, after all, Li Yuer is the only outsider here! 】
[When encountering problems, we must stand together and face them together!] 】
Liu Shiqi looked around again and saw that there were still quite a lot of people in the old emperor's bedroom.
In addition to Li Yuer and Queen Yao, there were also some ministers, princes, royal grandchildren, princesses and so on.
Zhuang Yan thought about it and introduced them to Liu Shiqi one by one.
"The slightly plump middle-aged man standing beside the bed is the current crown prince, named Ji Yuechen."
"The one standing next to him, in purple clothes, is King Hua Yan, Ji Yueyan!"
"The girl who just pulled Queen Yao is Queen Yao's daughter, the eighth princess Ji Yueling!"
"The one standing in the corner with a dumbfounded look is Prince Zhang, Ji Yuezhang!"
There are also several imperial grandchildren and princesses.
The rest are some ministers.
There are also seven or eight imperial physicians.
Liu Shiqi listened attentively at first, but soon became dizzy.
Because there were too many people in the old emperor's bedroom at this time.
However, she still remembered the most important characters.
After Zhuang Yan finished the introduction, he said to Liu Shiqi.
"Don't worry, Shi Qi! Li Yu'er will be fine! We have people in this bedroom!"
Liu Shiqi was stunned. "Brother Zhuang, are there any of your people here?"
Zhuang Yan nodded.
Li Yuer was still sitting on the ground, her eyes empty and expressionless.
Everyone was busy with their own things, but no one looked at her. It was estimated that they didn't intend to care about the life or death of this favorite concubine.
But the good thing is that no one beats her anymore.
Liu Shiqi also felt a little relieved.
She shifted her gaze away from Li Yuer and looked inside the bedroom.
Suddenly, in an inconspicuous corner behind the Eighth Princess, the little palace maid holding the poison was seen.
Liu Shiqi quickly told Zhuang Yan about this situation.
They both looked over at the same time.
Just then I saw the little palace maid step forward and whisper something to the Eighth Princess.
The eighth princess's face changed, and she was obviously unhappy.
