Chapter 362 Revenge
Ling Fengxun raised his lips: "If he is killed, there will be no such useful chess piece. If he dies, he will have to assist another person to ascend the throne, which is troublesome."
Moreover, the second prince is now working under him, and he is half his own man. He will feel a little bit reluctant to use him as a chess piece
If he can still remember that the second prince was imprisoned for several months because of one of his plans, Ling Fengxun will definitely be embarrassed to think so again.
In general, Ling Changyue was not killed because there were too few princes left by the previous emperor.
Not enough.
An Yunxi nodded, and suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Prince, that Xu Meir" The
reason why she didn't do anything to Xu Meir herself was because she promised someone to hand Xu Meir over to her. Ling Fengxun
slightly side-eyed, and a dark light flashed in his eyes: "After Gu Lao recovered from his illness, he personally checked the condition of the fetus in her belly. He told me that she was most likely pregnant with a daughter."
This kind of extremely experienced old doctor can analyze the gender of a fetus that is a little older through the various characteristics of the pulse. It is not surprising, not to mention that Xu Meir is about to give birth in more than a month.
Although Gu Lao didn't say it for sure, what he said was almost right.
That is to say
An Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "Even if this child is born, it will not achieve Ling Changyue's goal. Xu Meir will probably find ways to turn the daughter in her belly into a son?"
Ling Fengyan nodded slightly.
"She has already prepared for this. Eunuch Xu sent someone to inform me that several pregnant women were secretly kept in a secret room in the palace. If Xu Meir gave birth to a daughter, she would be replaced on the spot. If it was a son, all these people would be silenced and it would be as if nothing happened. This was agreed by my good nephew."
An Yunxi was really shocked this time.
"Is this to replace the crown prince? In order to achieve his goal, Ling Changyue doesn't even care about the royal bloodline!"
And he is so cruel and ruthless, intending to take human lives. Just listening to it makes people furious.
An Yunxi, who knew all this, was truly eye-opening.
These people disliked Ling Fengxun because he was of foreign blood, saying that he was not worthy of sitting on the throne. Even Ling Changyue himself said that his own uncle was an outsider.
What was the result?
He put on such a drama purely for his own selfishness, and he talked a lot about rules, but in the end he threw all his rules to the dogs!
An Yunxi raised her head and looked at Ling Fengxun with even more distress.
If it weren't for the fact that her prince was so powerful and she was strong enough, she would have been drowned in this vortex of power struggle.
She held Ling Fengxun's hand even harder, as if to give him courage.
"Prince, why don't you just kill her!"
Seeing that her eyes were red with anger, Ling Fengxun slightly raised his fingers and touched her head.
"It's not the time yet. I tell you this now, Xier, so that you don't worry. If we want some people to die, we don't need to do it ourselves."
Ling Fengxun didn't want too much blood on his and An Yunxi's hands.
Some people will die on their own if they do evil.
An Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally felt relieved when she saw that Ling Fengxun looked like everything was under control.
"Well, I'll listen to you, Prince."
These people are just grasshoppers on a rope, they can't run away, and they can't jump out. What An Yunxi has to do now is to watch their fate after reaping the fruits of their own actions.
Xu Meir was locked in a room by a group of maids. The door was suddenly closed, leaving only her and a personal maid in the room.
She was lying on the cold ground, her hair was disheveled, her clothes were stained with dust, and she looked in a mess.
Xu Meir quickly got up from the ground and knocked on the door.
"Let me out!"
The place where she was locked up was just a small and narrow side hall.
It was exactly the place where personal maids lived on weekdays. There was no soft big bed, exquisite furnishings and beddings. If it was not summer now, the room would probably be drafty.
There was only a relatively thin bed board in the middle, with two black and old chairs beside it, and a set of teapots on the round table on one side.
The palace servants standing guard outside the door remained indifferent even though they heard the shouting inside.
Until Xu Meir was tired of shouting and fell to the ground panting.
Her personal maid beside her wanted to help her up: "Queen, please get up quickly. The ground is cold. It's not good for the little prince in your belly."
Upon hearing this, Xu Meir lowered her head and looked at her bulging belly.
"Not good for the child in my belly? They don't care about me and the child in my belly at all!"
After saying this, Xu Meir seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lay on the ground and wailed: "My stomach, my stomach hurts so much!"
The palace servants at the door looked a little panicked. After looking at each other, someone immediately went to report to the housekeeper.
The nanny had received the order long ago. Upon hearing this, she calmly ordered: "The imperial physician is ready. The princess has ordered that if she dares to harm the baby in her belly, she will be tied up."
"Nanny, but that's the queen."
The nanny looked disapproving: "Queen? Don't forget, our Beiling Kingdom is ruled by the regent king. Even the emperor has been locked up. What can she, the queen, do? Just do as I say."
"Yes!"
The imperial physician entered the room carrying a medicine box. Xu Meir saw the door open and the imperial physician came in, and her eyes trembled slightly.
But except for the imperial physician, there was no one behind him. She looked as if she was dead. Seeing that the imperial physician was going to check her pulse, she struggled desperately.
"Don't touch me, help me!"
Xu Meir's voice could be heard throughout the courtyard, but even if she screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice could not reach the deep palace.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door of the side hall.
The housekeeper who had just ordered the imperial physician to come was at the door. After seeing the pink figure, she immediately bowed and saluted.
"Greetings to the Empress Li!"
Hu Li'er was dressed in a pink palace dress, looking extremely beautiful, with a light and elegant makeup, and a charming and affectionate look in her eyes.
She was followed by several palace maids and nannies, and stepped into the yard. She could see the scene inside the open door of the side hall from a distance.
The light in her eyes was trembling. Hu Li'er was extremely excited at this moment. The things that the princess had promised her were now turning into reality one by one.
She saw the Princess Zhaoyue of the Southern Qi Kingdom falling from the clouds.
She raised the corners of her mouth, and stood at the door, forcing herself to calm down.
Xu Meir naturally saw Concubine Li at the door, and her eyes were instantly filled with resentment and murderous intent.
"It's all because of you that the emperor doesn't come to visit me!"
Although she and the little emperor didn't have a deep relationship, if Hu Li'er hadn't come to the harem, she would have had the means to win the little emperor's heart.
However, the appearance of Hu Li'er completely made the little emperor hate her. This woman didn't show it on the surface, but she provoked everywhere, making the emperor feel more and more annoyed by her.
Hu Li'er hid the coldness in her eyes and suddenly said to the people around her: "All of you get out."
