Chapter 280 The Domineering Princess 33
The most respected imperial physician among them spoke up, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince consumed the Elimination Soup. This Elimination Soup is a fierce substance. If an ordinary man drinks it, at most he will become infertile."
"But your Highness's body has long been broken. If he is well cared for, he may live for another ten years. Now drinking the heir-killing soup has damaged his entire body..."
Seeing the imperial physician hesitating, Emperor Lingyue asked, "Just tell me straight, how long does the prince have left to live?"
"Less than two years."
Concubine Wang standing by was so shocked that her eyes widened, and at the same time, Emperor Lingyue was shaking and almost fell.
Unexpectedly, he only had less than two years to live. Emperor Lingyue steadied himself and said angrily, "Investigate, you must investigate thoroughly for me."
"Yes."
Zheng's method of administering the drug was not very sophisticated, and the truth was uncovered in just half a day.
Zheng was pushed into the hall without fear. She looked at Emperor Lingyue sitting on the dragon throne and smiled.
The entire hall was filled with Zheng's laughter, which made Emperor Lingyue frown hard in disgust.
He questioned Zheng, "Zheng, why did you attack the prince?"
"Why?"
Zheng's voice was sharp and piercing. "You should ask yourself, it is only natural that a son should pay for his father's debts!"
Looking at Zheng's eyes full of hatred, Emperor Lingyue showed a puzzled look on his face, not understanding why Zheng hated him so much.
He also asked the question in his heart, "I gave you the position of Queen. Even if you released an assassin to harm me, I did not take your life because of your contribution in raising the Crown Prince. I only demoted you to a concubine. Why did you still want to attack the Crown Prince? He is the son you raised with your own hands."
"Pooh!"
Zheng pulled open her hair bun and found the white hair inside.
She said excitedly, "I have worked so hard for Yun Ling, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Your Majesty, although I am not your first wife, I am still your wife."
"I didn't expect that you would not tolerate me at all. You asked me to raise Yun Ling but you wanted to take away my chance to become a mother. Is there anyone in the world as cruel as you?"
Faced with Zheng's accusations, Emperor Lingyue did not choose to hide it.
He just watched Zheng vent his resentment in silence.
"So you know everything."
Faced with Emperor Lingyue's indifferent response, Zheng took off the bracelet in her hand and threw it to the ground, while pulling her hair and her voice was full of wailing.
"In order to become your queen, I treated other people's children as my own. In order to stand by you, I worked hard day and night until my hair turned white."
"For the sake of your peace in the Six Palaces, I gave in time and time again, letting Concubine Wang step on my face and humiliate me. I never thought that more than ten years of companionship would still be no match for a dead person."
"You have been plotting against me for a long time, Your Majesty, so why can't I plot against you once? The Heir-Extinction Soup is the best counterattack."
"If you make me infertile, I will make your son childless. If the late queen knew that the prince could not have children, she would also be very miserable in the underworld, right?"
Now Zheng has become crazy and insane.
It would have been fine if Zheng hadn't mentioned the late queen, but she insisted on mentioning the late queen without fear of death.
Emperor Lingyue suddenly stood up, picked up the inkstone on the table and threw it at Zheng.
Zheng's head was broken and bleeding after being hit by the inkstone, and the pain made her unable to straighten her back.
Emperor Lingyue stared at Zheng coldly and said, "You can treat me however you want, but you shouldn't be disrespectful to the late queen."
"When you first entered the palace, you were nothing special. Who gave you the opportunity? Who allowed you to become a princess? Have you forgotten everything?"
Thinking of the past, Zheng's eyes were filled with blood.
The blood on her forehead flowed into her eyes. Even though she was now disheveled and covered in blood, she looked like a ghost coming to take her life.
Zheng was still laughing, but as she laughed, black blood began to flow from her mouth and nose, and even her lips turned slightly purple, which was an obvious sign of poisoning.
It turned out that Zheng had already taken poison before being brought here.
Emperor Lingyue watched Zheng die in front of him without even raising his eyelids.
Ah Zhi entered the hall and his eyes fell on Zheng's body. The blood on her forehead had not stopped flowing, but her chest had stopped moving, and it seemed that she was really dead.
Emperor Lingyue did not take Zheng's death to heart.
But now, seeing Ahzhi walking into the palace, Emperor Lingyue was a little worried that she might be frightened by the corpse.
He hurriedly asked Ah Zhi, "Yu'er, why are you here?"
"Your Highness is worried about your father, so I couldn't help but come and see him."
Emperor Lingyue nodded and asked Ah Zhi in confusion, "Yu'er, do you think your father did something wrong? In order to let Zheng raise Yun Ling wholeheartedly, I didn't expect that it would harm Yun Ling in the end."
"I just want Zheng to treat Yun Ling as her own son. If she had her own son, she wouldn't care so much."
In the eyes of others, Emperor Lingyue is not a good father or a good husband, but in Azhi's eyes, he is a truly good father.
Others can criticize Emperor Lingyue, but Azhi, representing the original body, cannot do so.
Ah Zhi stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Lingyue, "Father is the Emperor of Lingyue, how could your decision be wrong?"
"Zheng Shi only brought this upon herself. She even dared to drug the crown prince. Such a vicious woman deserves death."
Thinking of Yun Ling who was still unconscious, Emperor Lingyue gradually calmed down.
He came back to his senses, looked at Azhi in front of him and nodded slightly.
"Yu'er, get up."
Yun Ling is now completely useless. A crown prince who cannot even have children and has less than two years to live, sitting in this position is just a waste of resources.
Emperor Lingyue's eyes fell on Azhi. Compared to the delicate and frail Yun Ling, Emperor Lingyue preferred his daughter to be the crown prince.
However, there has been no precedent of a woman inheriting the throne since ancient times. Emperor Lingyue could only shake his head in disappointment, and sighed in his heart again why Yun Yuyu was not a princess.
Emperor Lingyue cannot go against the rules of his ancestors, and can only choose from among the former princes.
He stared at Ah Zhi and asked curiously, "Yu'er, what do you think of Concubine Wang's second prince?"
It seems that they are preparing to find a new prince. Ah Zhi used Zheng to depose Yun Ling, of course, he had his own purpose, Ah Zhi didn't want the duck in his mouth to fly away.
She sighed towards Emperor Lingyue and said, "Father, my brother is still alive, and we are the only children of our mother. Why don't you wait for a while? Didn't the imperial physician say that my brother has less than two years to live?"
"Now that the Emperor is in such a hurry to appoint a new Crown Prince, is it possible that the Emperor is unwilling to give even such posthumous honors to my brother?"
