The Queen turned away.
Madam Leng smiled and said, "You also know that His Majesty would never give the throne to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, right? At that time, it must have been another prince! The last incident showed that His Majesty actually wished the Second Prince would die!"
The cold queen clenched her handkerchief tightly: "Sister-in-law, please stop talking!"
Madam Leng continued, "Last time, when the Second Prince was so ill and on the verge of death, all His Majesty had to do was issue an imperial decree, and Su Luo would have been the one to come and treat him. But what happened next? It was only you, the Empress, who had to go out in person and humble yourself to invite Su Luo to treat the Second Prince? Can't you see? His Majesty will never allow His Highness the Second Prince to inherit his throne!"
In the courtyard, Emperor Ling stood coldly, his face shrouded in dark clouds and gloom.
The eunuch Wang behind Emperor Lingdi was in a very bad state.
The cold sweat on his face flowed down and soaked his clothes.
It’s all because of him being so strong and having sharp hearing... why does he have to hear these words? This is the rhythm of death!
Emperor Ling curled up his lips in a disdainful sneer, and the sarcasm in his eyes was very obvious.
He looked at the sky, with no intention of moving away.
Eunuch Wang could only stay by his side motionlessly.
But at this moment he was no longer standing, but kneeling behind Emperor Ling, his whole body trembling... all because of fear.
Eunuch Wang was so frightened, but the two women in the room were completely unaware.
Madam Leng was particularly elated. She was still self-righteously advising Queen Leng: "Since Your Majesty will absolutely not allow the Second Emperor to inherit the throne, then we only have two options now."
The Queen looked up at Madam Leng.
Just because she doesn't talk doesn't mean she's not interested.
Madam Leng said, "Just like the master said, Your Majesty, you now have only two options. One is to give birth to a second prince. However, after so many years, there has been no news of pregnancy... plus you were injured many years ago, so this..."
Why did Queen Leng hurt herself back then? Because she wanted to be the queen.
When the two conditions of bearing a second child and becoming the queen were put before the queen, the then cold queen chose the second one without hesitation.
"First of all, it's very difficult... very difficult..." The cold queen's voice was filled with boredom and indescribable melancholy.
Madam Leng said, "Then we can only take the second path. That is..."
"Stop talking!" The cold queen shook her head. "Your Majesty is still in good health. You can't do this. You can't do this."
"Empress! Don't you understand by now? If the Second Prince cannot succeed to the throne, then for the sake of the future new emperor, Your Majesty will definitely remove our Leng Clan, this obstruction. As for why you haven't moved now? Because we still have the Dragon and Phoenix Clan!"
Madam Leng continued, "Because of the Dragon and Phoenix Clan, Your Majesty must first unite with our Leng Clan to eliminate them. Once they're eliminated, ours will be the next to be eliminated. Without a family of your own, and without a prince to inherit the throne... how long do you think you can remain Queen?"
Queen Leng was struck by Madam Leng's words and remained silent for a long time...
However, she was a cautious person and never expressed her opinion at any time, let alone in the palace.
The cold queen said, "These are just speculations, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has been very kind to me, sister-in-law, it's better not to think too much about these things..."
