Chapter 3 The Ruthless Eldest Princess
Consort Shu was in so much pain this time that she clutched her stomach. She felt pain all over her body, but her stomach was the most painful.
Her child, her prince.
She never expected Luo Xi to be so crazy, daring to push her so openly.
Moreover, she was pregnant; how could Luo Xi dare to do that?
She is harming the imperial heir; the emperor will not let her get away with it.
Consort Shu forgot that her pregnancy has not yet been made public, and even Emperor Luo is unaware of it. Therefore, it's normal that Luo Xi doesn't know either.
Luo Xi was a little surprised to see that Consort Shu had survived falling down such a high flight of stairs.
She frowned and looked at the long flight of stairs carefully for a few moments.
Thinking:
How come she didn't die from falling from such a high step? She's really lucky.
Luo Xi saw that Consort Shu's maid was about to run down the steps to help Consort Shu.
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. Without making a sound, she reached out and pushed the palace maid, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Ah!" A scream rang out.
The palace maid fell onto Consort Shu. Consort Shu's eyes widened, her hand fell to the ground, and she was completely lifeless...
The palace maid (Xiao Lan) hurriedly got up from Consort Shu's body, trembling all over, and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, you..."
"ah!"
Consort Shu is dead.
Just then, Lothar arrived.
He stared in disbelief at Consort Shu, who lay at the bottom of the steps with her eyes closed, her face pale, and her body covered in blood.
Xiao Lan knelt before Emperor Luo and stammered, "Your Majesty, it was... it was the Eldest Princess who killed Consort Shu. It was the Eldest Princess who pushed Consort Shu down, and she also pushed me down. I accidentally fell on top of Consort Shu, and then Consort Shu died."
"Your Majesty, it is the Eldest Princess."
"Her Majesty is pregnant, yet the Eldest Princess is pushing her down the steps. She is harming the imperial heir."
Lodi: !!!
Is she pregnant?
Just then, the imperial physician arrived.
Luo Xi: "Zhuzhu."
"Clap clap clap!"
Zhuzhu stepped forward and slapped Xiaolan hard several times.
Lodi: !!!
Have they forgotten that he, the emperor, is still here?
Luo Xi walked up to Emperor Luo and said angrily, "Father, this damned servant dared to slander me. She deserves to be beaten."
She kicked the palace maid.
Luo Xi: "Father, it's clearly Consort Shu trying to frame me."
"I didn't know she was pregnant."
"You know, she originally wanted to go to the Phoenix Palace to find her mother."
"When I got here, I ran into Consort Shu. As soon as she saw me, she collapsed in front of me, clutching her stomach. What else could this be but a staged accident?"
"I have a bad temper, and seeing her like that made me really angry. I felt I couldn't let her slander me for no reason, so I kicked her. I didn't expect there to be a step behind her, and then she fell down..."
Luo Xi lowered her head and pretended to be sad, saying, "Father, if I had known she was pregnant, even if I was angry, I wouldn't have pushed her down. After all, she's carrying my younger brother and sister."
"But I don't know."
Suddenly, Luo Xi seemed to have thought of something.
She patted her head. "Oh, right, all of Consort Shu's maids know she's pregnant, but Consort Shu is hiding it. What is she planning? Could she be trying to use the child in her belly to frame me?"
Luo Xi continued, "It's certain. She definitely wants to avenge her niece, Song Yaoyao. After all, I killed her own niece."
"Yes, that's right, that must be it."
"Father, you're so smart, surely you can see through her scheme?"
Lodi: ...........
She really knows how to flatter him.
Consort Shu knew she was pregnant but concealed it, which is indeed very problematic.
Luo Xi killed her niece just yesterday, so it's normal for her to want to frame Luo Xi today.
She probably never expected that Luo Xi would kick her, causing her to fall down the steps and die along with her unborn child.
Whose fault is this?
It's all Consort Shu's fault for bringing this upon herself.
Moreover, Luo Xi was his first child, and he watched her grow up. Although she was domineering, she was not very good at lying.
Therefore, what she said must be the truth.
Luo Di sighed, "You...you need to change your temper. Go back and be confined for three months."
Luo Xi: "Yes, Father."
It's just a stay-at-home order, not a serious punishment, nothing to worry about.
Before leaving, Luo Xi left behind the words, "Father, I killed Song Yaoyao and Consort Shu. General Song won't send someone to assassinate me, will he? I'm a little scared..."
My father is the emperor; he shouldn't be so soft-hearted.
Those who deserve to be killed should still be killed; keeping them alive will only lead to endless trouble.
Emperor Luo also knew that General Song's sister and daughter had both died at Luo Xi's hands.
Luo Xi is his daughter, so it would be strange if General Song didn't mind.
So, he probably died after all.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Luo Xi: "Okay."
She looked at Xiao Lan, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, and said, "Guards, drag her away and execute her by slow slicing."
The eunuchs glanced at Emperor Luo a few times, and Emperor Luo nodded.
Then, Xiaolan was dragged away and executed by slow slicing.
After Luo Xi finished speaking, she went to the Phoenix Palace.
Because before she was confined to her quarters, she had something important to tell the Queen.
Phoenix Palace.
Inside the inner palace.
Luo Xi told the Empress what had just happened.
Finally, Luo Xi asked seriously, "Mother, are you on my side or Father's side?"
Empress:..........
What's the problem?
"Of course we're on your side. Has something happened?"
Luo Xi shook her head. "No."
Luo Xi whispered, "Mother, I want to be the emperor."
"Mother, could you ask my maternal grandfather and the others to support me?"
Empress: !!!
“But your father has three princes, he won’t consider you.”
"Then why don't we just ensure he has no princes?"
Empress: !!!
She was truly stunned.
She never imagined it could be like this.
Luo Xi continued, "Mother, do you really want another woman's son to ascend the throne and become your equal as Empress Dowager? Besides, they'll be constantly on guard against you."
Of course she didn't want to.
Finally, the Queen agreed.
