Chapter 261 A Terrible Conjecture
"You are always cunning. Who knows what you are thinking?"
Yun Zheng sneered, "The Third and Fourth Princes are the biggest favorites to take the throne. They have the support of the officials and the royal family. What does the First Prince have?"
Li Guipin's eyes were bloodshot, filled with deep hatred, "He is the eldest son of the emperor, the eldest son should be the heir."
She only had this one son, and if he died, she would have no hope.
What else is she afraid of?
Yun Zheng felt that the matter was not that simple, so she deliberately asked, "With a mother like you who is a fool and used as a tool by others, who would choose him?"
As she spoke, she looked around, "With the Third and Fourth Princes standing in the way, the First Prince has almost no chance of winning."
Everyone had different expressions, and the expressions of several princes were intriguing.
Yun Zheng's eyes rolled slightly. "Why would you attack someone who is destined to fail? Oh, because he's stupid."
She pointed at herself and said, "What about me? I'm the future Princess Rui. I'm unparalleled in dignity and will live a life of wealth and glory. What do I have to worry about? Why should I get involved in this mess?"
"Your Majesty, do you think I'm stupid?"
The emperor knew her bad temper. People forced her to commit suicide. How could she not curse?
"Okay, I know you are a good person."
Li Guipin couldn't stand this stimulation, "Yun Zheng, you dare to say that you don't want to be the queen?"
Yun Zheng said without hesitation, "No, what good is a queen? The emperor has three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. The queen can only pretend to be magnanimous and bear the pain to take care of his women and children."
"I can't stand this grievance, I want to be loved alone!"
The queen couldn't bear it anymore, so she took her own life.
Yun Zheng didn't want to follow her old path. "Your Majesty, please don't give Prince Rui a concubine. I'm jealous and I'll kill every one of them who comes into my family."
The emperor glared at her unhappily, but believed her words, "Nonsense."
Zong Zheng couldn't stand it any longer. "Women shouldn't be jealous. They should follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, regard their husbands as their God, and take the initiative to take concubines for their husbands and expand the royal family."
Yun Zheng curled her lips and said, "I won't."
She looked around arrogantly, "I keep my word. If you come one, I'll kill one. If you come two, I'll kill a pair. If you're not afraid of death, just come at me."
Many young women lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.
Zong Zheng couldn't stand it, "Your Majesty, such a jealous woman is not worthy of being Prince Rui's Consort. Please cancel this engagement and set Prince Rui free."
As long as you marry into the royal family, you must abide by the royal rules and expand the royal family, which is the most important thing.
Yun Zheng looked at the Queen Mother pitifully. The Queen Mother's cold voice rang out, "I am very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, and Prince Rui is also very satisfied. As for whether others are satisfied or not, who cares?"
Even the head of the royal family had to soften his attitude when facing the empress dowager.
"Queen Dowager, please think twice. She is really not a good match and will harm Prince Rui."
The Queen Mother looked indifferent and said nothing.
As long as she doesn't give in, this marriage cannot be broken up.
Yun Zheng suddenly screamed, "Ah, I know why Concubine Li hates me so much?"
She attracted everyone's attention and then spoke slowly.
"This is because they hate the Ghost Doctor for saving the three princes. If they want to die, they should die together."
She looked at the princes and said, "Second Prince, Third Prince, Fourth Prince, your eldest brother is dead. How can you have the nerve to live alone?"
"My Lady, is this what you mean?"
Concubine Li Guipin didn't say anything, but her expression told everyone the answer.
The three princes were so angry that their faces turned green. What? Did they want them to be buried with their eldest brother?
The emperor was furious upon seeing this, but he didn't show it on his face. "Stop making a fuss, and take the spirit away."
Li Guipin's eyes flickered, and she suddenly cried out, "The Queen didn't die of grief, she was forced to death!"
This statement was like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone.
Although everyone is speculating privately about the cause of the Queen's death, is it really okay to reveal it to her face?
The emperor's face was ashen. "Come here, send Concubine Li back to her bedroom. She is not allowed to come out without my permission."
Li Guipin held onto the coffin tightly, screaming hysterically, "How was the Queen forced to death? Yun Zheng, do you dare to tell us the reason in public?"
Yun Zheng sneered. You didn't dare to ask the emperor, but you pointed the spearhead at her, trying to make her attract hatred.
"Force her to death? Are you crazy? Who in this world could force a queen to death?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li said you killed your wife."
As soon as the words fell, the whole place became eerily quiet and the atmosphere was tense.
The emperor's expression was extremely grim. "Li Guipin has lost her beloved son and is mentally unstable. Take her away."
Li Guipin roared, "If anyone dares to touch me, I will crash into my coffin and die."
During the confrontation, a cry of surprise rang out, "Ah."
"Fifth Princess, what's wrong with you?"
The fifth princess fell into the arms of the palace maid, her face as pale as paper. She said weakly, "I feel sick and want to vomit."
A concubine looked over and said, "Fifth Princess, the Emperor has already ordered that everyone must attend the funeral of the Queen and the First Prince. Don't you want to go?"
The fifth princess' eyes were filled with tears. Suddenly, she vomited loudly. "I felt unwell yesterday and I was holding it in."
The emperor frowned, "Imperial Physician."
The imperial physician quickly arrived and after examining her, he said, "The princess is young and weak. She is simply exhausted. She will just need a few days of rest."
The emperor's expression eased slightly. "Fifth Princess, you don't need to attend the funeral. Go down and rest."
"Thank you, Father."
"Arise."
Yun Zheng watched the fifth princess vomiting non-stop, and for some reason, she felt a chill on her back.
She leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, where is the ghost doctor? Let him take a look."
Before the emperor could say anything, the imperial physician said impatiently, "Princess Jinyun, I've already made the diagnosis. What else is there to question? Even if the ghost doctor came, it would be the same."
"The auspicious time is almost over, hurry up."
Yun Zheng was stunned. Suddenly, a similar scene flashed through her mind and she shuddered involuntarily.
Oh no! It's over!
She quietly retreated to the Queen Mother's side and said in a low voice, "Queen Mother, let's go back to the palace first, quickly."
The Queen Mother was startled by her urgency. "What's going on?"
Yun Zheng's hands trembled slightly. "Just listen to me and call the ghost doctor."
A concubine turned around and said, "Princess Jinyun, why aren't you following me yet? Are you trying to slack off again?"
Seeing Yun Zheng's expression change, the Queen Mother made a prompt decision, "Your Majesty, I suddenly feel dizzy and unwell. I want Yun Zheng to accompany me back."
Yun Zheng added, "Your Majesty, please call the ghost doctor to see the Queen Mother."
The emperor looked at the empress dowager's pale face and it didn't seem like she was pretending.
He nodded slightly, "Yun Zheng, help the Queen Mother back and serve her well."
"yes."
"The ghost doctor does not need to follow the funeral procession. He should stay in the palace to treat the Queen Mother."
"yes."
Yun Zheng hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, it's hot, and you're worth a fortune. Just send me to the palace gate and come back."
The emperor was a little surprised and frowned. She didn't look like the type to say that.
"No, I want to see the Queen off for the last time."
It was fake to send the queen off, but it was real to send the eldest prince off, out of deep love for his son.
Yun Zheng sighed silently, she had tried her best!
After watching the group leave, she helped the empress dowager back to the Cining Palace.
As soon as she entered the palace, she immediately issued an order, "From now on, the palace is closed. No one except the ghost doctor is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed!"
The sound exploded like thunder, and everyone's expression changed.
Nanny Guan asked anxiously, "Princess, what's going on?"
Yun Zheng's expression was more serious than ever before. "I'm just guessing. I hope I'm wrong."
If she guessed right, the whole army would be wiped out!
