Chapter 176: Fighting against each other
The Emperor of Beiling was almost pissed off by the Crown Prince.
Prime Minister Chu was in the Yangxin Palace at this time, kneeling on the ground and crying.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is so cruel and inhumane. Please, Your Highness, help my daughter!"
The Emperor of Beiling smiled. He had finally stopped having headaches these days, and his body was much better than before. However, he found that he could not stop taking the medicine, and the amount of medicine he took every day needed to be increased in order to maintain his previous condition.
Regarding this matter, he also specifically asked the new national teacher.
As a result, the national teacher said that it was because his illness had accumulated for too long, and it would take at least a month to completely recover, and the amount of medicine needed to be increased every day to cure the stubborn disease in his body.
The Emperor of Beiling also had doubts about this.
However, he had been ill for so many years, and finally he stopped vomiting blood, and he was in good spirits, and even able to walk outside, so he was reluctant to doubt the new imperial teacher.
Because once he doubted, his life would be over, and there would be no hope at all.
Now there were only five days left in a month.
After the morning court, the emperor drank more medicine than he drank all day yesterday, just to keep himself from having a headache.
He glanced at Prime Minister Chu below, and for some reason, he was furious and gave an order directly.
"Bring the prince here!"
The eunuch beside him said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that something happened in the East Palace. The new Crown Princess seems to have done something extremely treasonous and was directly banished to the cold palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Last night, the imperial physician went there to check and it seems that there is something wrong with the baby in her belly."
Upon hearing this, a dark color flashed across Emperor Beiling's eyes.
"The Crown Princess was the Crown Prince's concubine before. How long has the baby in her belly been?"
"Your Majesty, according to the imperial physician, the baby is more than four months old."
Emperor Beiling's eyes were a little darker. The prince's child was his first grandson, which was a big deal.
"Let him come here and I will ask him clearly!"
"Yes!"
The eunuch immediately notified everyone, and not long after, Crown Prince Ling Changyue was brought into the palace.
He was gloomy all over, and the murderous aura shocked the emperor.
"Prince, what's the matter with you?"
The prince lowered his head, saluted the emperor first, and then said: "Father, I have something to report to you. It's about Chu Wanran and the Crown Princess who worked together to poison me!"
Prime Minister Chu's expression froze instantly.
He never thought that there was such a secret.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If Chu Wanran really did such a thing, it would be murdering the prince. If the matter was confirmed, then his Chu family would also be implicated and would be blamed!
"Your Highness, please don't slander me. When did Wanran poison your Highness?"
The prince's eyes were dark.
It was obvious that he hadn't slept well for two or three nights.
That almost crazy expression made Prime Minister Chu back off for a while.
"Father, I have the Imperial Master to testify for me, and I also have An Ruxue's confession. I learned that Chu Wanran was behind the scenes and gave the lovebirds to An Ruxue, which made me obsessed with An Ruxue until now, and I almost lost my life!" Prime
Minister Chu was immediately a little flustered and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Wanran doesn't know what lovebirds are. It must be that the Crown Princess framed her. What she did must be attributed to my Wanran. Please don't believe the one-sided words. My Wanran is already dead, and there is no evidence, Your Majesty!" Prime
Minister Chu looked sad.
The Crown Prince beat Chu Wanran to death. No matter what, he was right.
The prince narrowed his eyes: "These are all confessed by Chu Wanran herself when she was tortured. The evidence is conclusive and she deserves death!"
"My Wanran is already dead, so naturally, whatever His Royal Highness says is the truth. Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with my Wanran!"
Prime Minister Chu insisted that Chu Wanran had done nothing.
The two quarreled downstairs, and the emperor felt even more headache: "Bring the Crown Princess here."
After a cup of tea, An Ruxue, who was imprisoned in the East Palace, saw the light of day again.
But there was no happy expression on her face.
Her face was as pale as paper, she carefully protected her lower abdomen and knelt in the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty"
Chu Wanran was beaten to death in front of her.
This scene has become An Ruxue's nightmare.
It seemed as if she would be the next one to die in such a tragic way.
Before Chu Wanran died, he was still glaring at her fiercely. That look was like a leech attached to her bones, becoming her nightmare and making it impossible for her to fall asleep.
"An Ruxue, tell me everything about how you framed the prince. If you tell a lie, I will not forgive you!"
Emperor Beiling spoke sternly, looking at her coldly.
Emperor Beiling did not like this woman at all. If the prince had not been protecting her all along, he, as a father, would have wanted to ease the relationship with the prince and would not have agreed to let the prince marry her as his princess!
As a result, such a big mess happened right after the marriage, which simply brought shame to his royal family!
An Ruxue's heart trembled, but she didn't dare to raise her head. She curled up as much as possible, trembling all over.
"I have confessed everything. It was Chu Wanran who ordered me to seduce the prince."
"Nonsense!"
Prime Minister Chu on the side immediately scolded.
His deep eyes stared at An Ruxue fiercely, "The prince has always liked you all these years, and you are the one who put the pig in your mouth. What does it have to do with my Wanran?"
"She gave me the pig, and she asked me to do this!"
An Ruxue tried her best to defend herself, her eyes were red.
If Chu Wanran was still alive, she would not dare to lie in this Golden Palace, and would definitely admit her crime, but the key is that she was accidentally beaten to death by the prince last night.
The prince was so angry about this that he almost lost his mind. If he couldn't kill her, he would definitely vent his anger on others.
And Chu Wanran just happened to hit the tip of the gun.
Prime Minister Chu sneered: "How can you prove that this pig was given to you by her?"
An Ruxue's face was as pale as paper: "The origin of the pig should be recorded. It was a tribute sent from the Western Regions. It was brought to Beiling Kingdom by Chu Wanran and His Royal Highness the King of Hen's mother. Later, it disappeared. In fact, it was taken away by Chu Wanran's mother and handed over to Chu Wanran after she died!"
As soon as these words came out, the room was instantly quiet.
Her words evoked the memories of some people present.
Emperor Beiling couldn't help but think of what happened more than 20 years ago, and the woman with a pair of absolutely beautiful blue eyes.
