Chapter 1833: Linyue
“The Emperor has arrived!”
“Princess Guguo!”
When the Crown Prince and Empress heard this, their faces immediately revealed a pleasant surprise.
The Crown Prince held the Crown Princess Consort’s hand and comforted her,” Yao ‘er, don’t worry. Princess Guguo will definitely have a way to save you!”
At this moment, the Crown Princess Consort was moaning in pain. It was as if there were millions of ants gnawing on her flesh and bones, causing her endless pain.
She had never thought that it would hurt so much.
The man had clearly said that she was just pretending and that it would be fine as long as she deceived them.
But now, she could not pretend at all. Perhaps she was really poisoned.
Could it be that that person really did not have any father-daughter relationship with her? He actually gambled with her life.
At this moment, no matter how much she regretted it, it was useless.
But she didn’t want to die.
Thinking of this, tears flowed from the corners of the Crown Princess Consort’s eyes. However, she did not know that what flowed out was blood.
When the crown prince saw her eyes bleeding, he was shocked again. He shouted in panic,” Yao ‘er, Yao’ er, Princess Gu… Princess Guguo quickly takes a look at Yao ‘er.” The nervous Crown Prince saw Lin Yuelan enter the house and shouted for help without caring about his identity.
The moment Lin Yuelan, the Emperor, and Jiang Zhennan stepped into the room, they could smell the blood in the room. They frowned, but when they saw the Crown Princess Consort on the bed, their pupils constricted.
” What’s going on?” The Emperor asked as soon as he entered. “Didn’t the Crown Princess have a miscarriage? How did she become blood-red?”
The Empress explained,” Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Chen said that the Crown Princess Consort was poisoned by Sunset Glow.”
Lin Yuelan asked Lin Qingzhu,” What happened?”
Lin Qingzhu quickly explained,” Master, the Crown Princess Consort was poisoned by Sunset Glow and another Heart-Eating Poison. The two poisons combined to form a new poison that accelerated the damage to the Crown Princess Consort’s body. Just now, the Crown Princess Consort had already acted up once. This subordinate gave her an antidote pill, but it could only temporarily control the spread of the poison, but it could not detoxify it.”
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, I understand.”
Then, she strode over to the Crown Princess Consort’s bedside and checked her pulse.
“I beg the emperor to make a decision for the consort, and I beg the emperor to make a decision for the consort…” When Qiuxiang saw the Emperor, she kowtowed him and complained to Linyue Pavilion. “Emperor, the consort was poisoned and miscarried because she wore the clothes custom-made by Lin Yue Pavilion. Emperor, please make a decision for the Empress!”
When the Emperor heard this, he frowned again. He glanced at Lin Yuelan from the corner of his eyes and asked sternly,” She wore Linyue Pavilion’s clothes, so she was poisoned and had a miscarriage? You dog slave, you need evidence when you speak.”
Qiuxiang said again,” Your Majesty, the consort started to feel uncomfortable after wearing the clothes of Linyue Pavilion. After that, the consort had a miscarriage. Later, after the imperial physicians examined it, they discovered that the clothes were poisoned.”
The Emperor turned his gaze to the four imperial physicians and asked sternly,” Is what this dog slave told the truth?”
Imperial Physician Chen, the leader of the four, said,” Your Majesty. This humble subject and the others did indeed discover the poison that the crown prince consort was poisoned with on her clothes-Sunset Glow!”
As for whether it was from Lin Yue Pavilion, they couldn’t judge.
When the Emperor heard this, he frowned again and asked sternly,” Are you sure you didn’t make a wrong judgment?”
Imperial Physician Chen and the others said,” Your Majesty, this humble subject and the others do not dare to lie!”
At this moment, Qiuxiang quickly said,” Your Majesty, please make a decision for the consort. That Lin Yue Pavilion is really too despicable. They actually dared to harm the crown princess consort. Your Majesty, please order an arrest!”
“Bastard!” As soon as Qiuxiang finished speaking, the Empress shouted angrily,” You dog slave, how dare you demand His Majesty to give orders? Who gave you the guts?! Men, pull this dog slave down and punish her with thirty strokes of the cane!”
If a weak woman was struck with thirty strokes, it was still unknown whether she would survive.
Qiuxiang deflated like a deflated balloon and became paralyzed. A moment later, she regained her senses and crawled to her feet. She kowtowed continuously and begged loudly,” Empress, please spare my life. Empress, please spare my life. I won’t do it again. I won’t do it again. This servant only felt injustice for the consort and was in a moment of impatience, so this servant begged the emperor to make a decision!”
The Empress sneered,” Hmph, you dog slave. How can a little servant like you interrupt the Emperor’s decision? There’s no need to say anything more. Men, pull her down and punish her!”
The Empress was not a soft-hearted person. This daring, wretched girl was about to give orders for the Emperor; how could she let her off?
When Qiuxiang heard this, she suddenly went limp again, looking dejected and lifeless.
Just as the guards were about to pull Qiuxiang down, the Crown Princess Consort suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The Crown Prince, Empress, and the others once again showed worried expressions.
At this moment, Qiuxiang seemed to have seen hope. She crawled up and said loudly,” Consort, are you okay? Wuwu, it’s all this servant’s fault. I didn’t check your clothes properly and let someone harm you. Wuwu, this servant, can only use death to apologize to consort.”
With that, she stood up and was about to slam into the wall.
It seemed like she was going to crash into the wall and die.
Qiuxiang was also a smart person. She wanted to retreat in order to advance.
Perhaps, on account of her loyalty to the Crown Princess Consort, they might spare her life.
At the same time, she was telling the Emperor and Empress that she was loyal.
Could it be that they really wanted to kill a servant who was loyal to their master?
Hearing Qiuxiang’s words, the Empress and the others frowned.
Then, she immediately ordered,” Hold her back! Bring her down for execution instead!”
Qiuxiang’s eyes were filled with panic and fear. She did not understand why the Empress was like this.
The Empress looked at her and sneered,” Hmph, you dog slave is indeed smart. But don’t you know that if the monarch wants the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die?”
