Chapter 5 Princess Chen
"ah!"
"Father!"
Several guards, hearing the commotion, instantly emerged from the shadows.
Half an hour later,
Qi Chen, who was waiting for Luo Xi at a teahouse not far from the Prime Minister's residence, received a message from his secret guards saying that Prime Minister Luo was dead.
Qi Chen:
Prime Minister Luo is dead?
He stood up and asked anxiously, "Is the Princess alright?"
He didn't care whether Prime Minister Luo lived or died; the only thing he cared about was Luo Xi.
Guard: "Your Highness, the Princess Consort is alright, she was just a little frightened."
Upon hearing this, Qi Chen breathed a small sigh of relief.
He strode down from the teahouse and headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.
The Prime Minister's Residence.
Qi Chen entered the Prime Minister's study and immediately saw Luo Xi, whose eyes were red and whose tears were flowing like pearls.
He glanced at Prime Minister Luo, who was lying on the ground, pale and lifeless.
He walked towards Luo Xi and embraced her.
"Xi'er, are you alright?"
Luo Xi hugged his waist tightly, "Your Highness, Father..."
Just then, the imperial physician arrived.
Luo Xi stopped crying and quickly wiped away her tears. She told the imperial physician to hurry and save Prime Minister Luo.
More than a dozen imperial physicians took turns checking Prime Minister Luo's pulse and examining his body.
The imperial physicians knelt on the ground, "Prince Chen, Princess Chen, Prime Minister Luo is dead."
Then, a royal physician continued, "Prime Minister Luo's condition was caused by excessive grief, leading to heightened emotions. Coupled with not having eaten for several days, his body couldn't withstand the strain, so..."
At this moment, the Crown Prince and Luo Yue also arrived.
They heard what the imperial physician said.
Luo Yue didn't believe that Prime Minister Luo would die from excessive grief.
However, since more than a dozen imperial physicians had said the same thing, Luo Yue had no choice but to believe it.
Originally, Prime Minister Luo supported the Crown Prince. Moreover, she is now pregnant.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
But now she was told that her father, Prime Minister Luo, was dead. She was an illegitimate daughter; without Prime Minister Luo, how could she stand in the Eastern Palace?
Moreover, she and the Crown Princess have always been at odds. And with Prime Minister Luo around, she still had the confidence to compete with the Crown Princess, but now... her father is gone, so who will support her?
Now that she has lost her backing, wouldn't the Crown Princess be able to manipulate her at will?
And the child in her belly—she didn't believe the Crown Princess would actually let her give birth to the Crown Prince's eldest son born out of wedlock.
What should she do?
Luo Yue glanced at Luo Xi, who was being held in Qi Chen's arms.
Luo Yue: !!!
Didn't Father say that Luo Xi and Prince Chen's relationship had never been good? How come it doesn't seem like that now?
Luo Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Eldest sister, why did you return to the manor today?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xi's eyes turned icy cold.
Just then, Prince Chen said, "The Princess Consort heard that Prime Minister Luo has not eaten or drunk anything for the past few days, and she was very worried, so she returned to the manor."
"The Crown Prince's concubine is also Prime Minister Luo's daughter, haven't you heard? Why haven't you come back to visit Prime Minister Luo?"
Luo Yue: !!!
"I...I..."
She heard that many people had died in the manor, and she was afraid that Prime Minister Luo would accidentally harm her and the child in her womb, so she dared not come back.
Moreover, she dared not tell Prime Minister Luo about her pregnancy, for fear that he would be angry.
She was afraid that Prime Minister Luo would think that Luo Ming had come after she lost her child.
The Crown Prince said, "Yue'er has been unwell these past few days, so she hasn't returned."
Prince Chen: "Oh? Is that so? It sounds quite serious. Luckily, the imperial physicians are here; let them take her pulse."
Luo Yue: ...........
Crown Prince:
Can't they just stop talking?
Ten days later.
Luo Yue miscarried; it was the Crown Princess who caused it.
Prince Chen's Mansion.
Luo Xi understands.
"Zhuzhu, have someone secretly give her some medicine to boost her energy and strength. Right now, she must really want revenge, right?"
Whether Luo Yue kills the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess, it will be advantageous for her. It all depends on who Luo Yue hates more and who happens to be by her side.
Zhuzhu: "Yes, Your Highness."
The Crown Prince's Residence.
Ningxue Courtyard.
Luo Yue felt that she wasn't as weak as she had been a few days ago. She looked at the Crown Princess, the murderer who had killed her child, sitting by her bedside, showing her concern and care. Seeing the Crown Princess only intensified her hatred.
Luo Yue stared at the pearl hairpin worn by the Crown Princess.
The Crown Princess asked softly, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
She caused her miscarriage, so what? What can Luo Yue do to her?
The Crown Prince knew about this, but didn't he pretend not to know?
Hmph, without Prime Minister Luo, the Crown Prince won't even bother with her.
Luo Yue's eyes turned cold, and she closed them.
The Crown Princess just managed a smile when she saw her like this.
The next second, a sharp hairpin was inserted into her neck.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
The Crown Princess covered her neck and looked at Luo Yue in horror. Just as she was about to back away, Luo Yue grabbed her arm.
Luo Yue had gone mad. She bit her lip, and because one time wasn't enough, she thrust in a few more times.
The other maids were stunned. Only now did they realize what was happening. They rushed forward and snatched the hairpin from Luo Yue's hand.
However, by then, the Crown Princess had already passed away.
