Chapter 134 The Queen has passed away

The Regent Prince Ling Fengxun has made great achievements by capturing many secret agents of Southern Qi and avenging the officials of Beiling State who were assassinated.

The ministers in the court who originally stood on the side of the Duke of Zhenguo saw that the Regent Prince had such a high prestige among the officials, and they all stopped arguing and dared not say a word. The Crown Prince

saw that all the major and minor matters in the court had begun to be fully controlled by the Emperor's uncle, and for a while he was so angry that he didn't even attend the morning court.

He ran to the cold palace alone to see the Queen.

The Queen had been locked up here for several days, but she looked calm and didn't seem to be in a hurry.

The close-fitting maid who came with her saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming and hurriedly stood up to serve tea.

The Crown Prince waved his hand and asked the maid to leave.

"I am not in the mood to drink now, mother. My father is seriously ill now. The power of the court is controlled by Ling Fengxun. The imperial power of Beiling Kingdom is in name only. Now you are locked up here again. I don't know what to do."

The queen said softly, "Sit down. When your father gets better, he will let you out. Your father will never issue an imperial decree to depose the queen. The eldest prince has been dead for such a long time. Even if I did it, what can I do?"

The prince was slightly stunned when he heard the queen say this.

"Mother, you..."

He originally wanted to investigate this matter and find out the real murderer to see who framed the queen.

But he never expected to hear the queen mother say this.

The cold palace was very quiet, with no one around. The queen looked up while drinking tea and said, "My sister entered the palace with me, but she was favored and gave birth to a son soon after. If her son had not been born with six toes, and all the officials said it was unpredictable and prevented the emperor from making him the crown prince, I'm afraid you would have no chance of becoming the crown prince."

The crown prince was stunned.

He widened his eyes slightly. It was the first time he heard his mother talk to him about these things.

"Did you really kill that child?"

The queen raised the corner of her lips and sneered.

"They both deserved to die. They blocked my way. What's wrong with me removing the stepping stone? Yue'er, I have done so many things for your own good."

The crown prince's eyes were slightly red.

This sentence was for his own good, and the prince felt as if he had put his conscience on the grill, roasting it constantly.

"I thought that my mother was wrongly accused."

The queen narrowed her eyes and said lightly, "I am not telling you this to make you condemn your mother, but just to tell you what you should and shouldn't investigate when you investigate the truth."

The prince clenched his fingers into a fist.

He understood what the queen meant.

She wanted him to find ways to conceal the truth and find a scapegoat.

Seeing him lower his head, the queen's face softened.

"My son, if your mother is no longer by your side, you have to grow up on your own and can no longer rely on the elders. Your father is dying of illness, and your grandfather is old. No one can pave the way for you anymore. Ling Fengxun is the biggest stumbling block for you to rule the country. You must find ways to get rid of him, otherwise, your throne will not be stable. The country of Beiling must not be handed over to an outsider, do you understand?"

The queen spoke earnestly and taught carefully.

Although she was confident that the emperor would not order the queen to be deposed, she was still a little worried. If something unexpected happened to her in the future, the prince would be left alone.

The prince's eyes were slightly red, and he listened to the queen's teachings seriously.

But suddenly, there were hurried footsteps outside, and several figures walked in.

Those palace servants looked unfamiliar, most likely new. The queen

's face changed, and she stopped drinking tea.

The leading eunuch was holding an imperial edict in his hand.

And the people behind him were holding trays with various items.

The prince stood up and his face immediately sank.

"Who let you in?"

The little eunuch spoke directly: "Your Majesty and Your Highness the Crown Prince, please accept the order. I am here on the order of the emperor to read the imperial edict."

The queen's eyes darkened: "What imperial edict? How come I don't know?"

The little eunuch did not reply, but directly unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it.

"The Emperor decrees, in compliance with the Will of Heaven. Empress Chen is jealous of her elder sister and plotted to kill her elder sister and the heir. Her crime is extremely heinous. From today on, she is deposed and sentenced to death."

The eunuch closed the imperial edict and smiled at the empress, "Your Majesty, are you coming by yourself, or are you going to have me and others help you?"

The empress widened her eyes in disbelief.

"I want to see the emperor. How could the emperor sentence me to death? You are faking the imperial edict!"

The prince even stood up and stood in front of the empress.

"I want to see who dares to touch the empress today!"

Several people who were lowering their heads behind the eunuch came out.

They rushed up without mercy and wanted to press the empress to the ground.

The prince immediately stepped forward to resist, but he didn't expect that these people were all martial arts masters. He was pressed to the ground before he could even fight with them for a few moves.

The young eunuch glanced at the prince and sneered.

"Empress, I advise you to die obediently and don't make things difficult for me and others."

Looking at the faces of those people, the queen struggled desperately, but her mouth was still pried open and a bottle of poison was poured into her.

The moment the poison entered her throat, the queen suddenly widened her eyes, and a feeling of fear and despair spread across her face.

The people next to her had let her go, but she lay on the ground powerlessly, pinching her throat with her hands, as if she wanted to spit out the poison.

However, not long after, her mouth was bleeding continuously. The poison that killed her instantly ate away blood and ate away her internal organs, causing her to lash out in a short time.

The severe pain made her wail and struggle continuously, and the prince could only watch the scene helplessly.

He kept screaming, wanting to save his mother, but he had no way at all.

Seeing that the queen was completely motionless, the young eunuch leaned forward slightly and said, "Let's go, go back and report."

The prince crawled over and hugged his mother's body. The queen was completely dead.

The person who was just talking to him was now dead in front of him. The prince couldn't accept it for a while and lost his voice.

After a moment, his eyes were full of hatred, and he bit his lips until they bled.

"Ling Fenghen, the hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable!"

Outside the palace gate, the young eunuch who had already left the cold palace went all the way back to the Yangxin Palace to report.

The emperor had woken up at this time, and he was sitting on a chair drinking medicine. The

emperor, whose face was extremely pale, had a calm face. When he saw the young eunuch coming in, he asked.

"Is it solved?"
