At this time, inside Lanqing Palace.
"Sheng'er, are you crazy?" The Imperial Concubine said hysterically, "She is He Jingheng's wife, the Crown Prince's Concubine of Prince Ding! If you are so attentive, how ugly will she say if she sees you? You are the only son of the Emperor. You are deliberately expanding this situation. Even if you have a hundred mouths, you can keep them all clean. You covet your brother's wife. Can you continue to sit on the throne of the Crown Prince? In the future, will you still want the throne?"
He Lingsheng said nothing, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the Imperial Concubine with a deep gaze.
"Why are you looking at the Queen like this?" The Royal Concubine continued, "The Queen has put in so much effort for your throne and for your smooth succession to the throne. Why are you so proud of yourself?"
"I'm trying to make myself proud?" He Lingsheng clenched his fists and sneered, "Mother, you really like to joke. Do you really think that the things you did can be hidden from my eyes?" She stood up and looked at the baby girl in Bixi's arms with a cold gaze, "How did this child come about? I'm sure mother knows it best."
The Imperial Concubine was shocked when she heard this, and she stepped back consciously: "What are you talking about?"
"Do you really understand what I am saying, mother?" He snorted coldly, "Do you think, mother, that I will really tolerate this child with a clear origin? And, I will never let that evil child stay in this world."
The imperial concubine's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She knew it, she really knew it!
"Sheng'er."
"놊놚뇽 my name!" He Lingsheng said coldly: "You calling me like this only makes me feel extremely disgusted."
"Mother has her own reasons." She held onto his arm, trying to explain.
"What's your reason?" With a wave of her arm, the imperial concubine fell to the ground: "What's your reason that you can discuss with me? What's the matter that makes you commit yourself to the King of Southern Xinjiang? Do you think you have really sent the child to Southern Xinjiang?"
The Imperial Concubine's fingers trembled: "What did you do with the child?"
"I had already swapped the child on the way. I had strangled the child you had given birth to with so much difficulty." He Lingsheng's eyes were red, and he said angrily, "I said that you would let you live."
"You! You're crazy!" The imperial concubine grabbed 놛's collar and shook him desperately: "That's your brother! Your real brother!"
"Who is your brother?" He Lingsheng said disdainfully, "I am the Crown Prince Tianshun, the son of the Emperor, and you are just a maggot in the gutter, the bastard born of my mother and my husband!"
“Bang!”
He Lingsheng's face was turned away.
"If you are a bastard, what are you? Do you think you are really the son of your emperor?"
What?
He Lingsheng paused slightly, his heart beat wildly, and his mind went blank.
"You are also the son of the King of Southern Xinjiang! You killed your own brother!" The Imperial Concubine said in a deep voice: "You are where you are today because of the planning of the 녤 Palace. Without the 녤 Palace, do you think you can ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince?"
The Royal Concubine's words were like a bolt from the blue. 놛놊 was the Emperor's son! It turned out that he was also the child of the mother and her son!
"You'd better keep these things in your heart. If others know about it, you won't be able to escape unscathed."
He Lingsheng walked out of Lanqing Palace in a daze, and stood outside the palace gate. He looked back at the plaque of Lanqing Palace, his eyes no longer bright, and walked away slowly.
After a long time, Shen Shuyi appeared from the corner, her chest heaving violently, her eyes full of disbelief.
Before Shang Ruoyi and He Jingheng returned to the palace, Yunqi appeared halfway.
"Prince, Princess, something happened."
"What's going on?"
"The old man has been poisoned."
"What?"
When they returned to the palace, everyone was in chaos.
"Your Majesty, the old princess has been poisoned deeply. I'm afraid she is beyond help. I have no way to save her."
He Yu frowned and said, "Do you know what kind of poison he was poisoned by?"
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "I am incompetent." He looked outside and said, "Has the Crown Prince's Consort returned? I'm afraid the only one who can save me now is the Crown Prince's Consort."
He Jingxi, who was standing far behind, looked away as he looked at the old princess lying on the bed with her eyes closed and a dead look on her face.
"Ruoyi hasn't come back yet. She was left in the palace by the Imperial Concubine."
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door and Shang Ruoyi walked in quickly.
She went straight to the bedside and saw that the old princess' face was pale and her breath was barely audible. She placed her hand on her heart and slowly injected a faint energy into her body.
The poison that had covered her internal organs slowly disappeared. A trace of black blood flowed out of her mouth and nose. Finally, even her ears began to ooze pus and blood. The blood exuded a fusty stench. Only when the blood turned completely bright red did Shang Ruoyi retract her palm.
Everyone's eyes fell on the old princess' face, only to see that the pale color on her face had disappeared. She coughed a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
"Mother." He Yu said softly, "How do you feel?"
The old princess nodded: "I'm fine."
"Thanks to Ruoyi, you are..." Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Mother, do you know who poisoned you?"
"Poisoned?" A trace of disappointment flashed across the old princess's eyes. She slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "I know it too."
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly when she saw this. Looking at the old princess's expression, she thought that she knew who poisoned her and just wanted to say it.
The poison that the old princess was poisoned with, the thorn fin poison, was made from the tender shoots of thorn fin grass. However, this thorn fin grass can only be grown in southern Xinjiang, so the method of poisoning must be related to southern Xinjiang.
After returning from exile, the palace of the King Ding was very strict with the outside world, and usually closed the door to visitors, so the person who could poison must be someone in the palace.
She looked around and her eyes stopped on He Jingxi. She sniffed hard and a faint bitter smell came into her nose. This smell was that of the thorn fin grass.
At this moment, the old princess lying on the bed patted her hands gently.
Shang Ruoyi looked over and saw the old princess shaking her head implicitly at her. Shang Ruoyi understood what was going on.
I guess the old princess already knows who poisoned her.
"Ruoyi, is your grandmother okay?" Qin asked anxiously.
"Grandma is fine now." She took out a few pills and put them into the old princess' mouth: "Take good care of yourself in the future, and grandma will live a long life."
Her words made everyone stop laughing.
"That's great." He Yunyi lay on the bed: "Grandma, I was scared to death just now."
The old princess touched her head and said, having walked through a near-death experience, she seemed to have let go of many things.
"You little girl." The old princess said lovingly, "If you want to get married, it's fine. The palace can support you for the rest of your life."
He Jingxi looked at the scene in front of him and clenched his fists tightly behind his back. Why?
Why is it that your family is so happy while I am like a rat crossing the street?
