Chapter 375
Hearing this, Ling Jingshu’s heart stirred, ”Your Highness, perhaps all of this is King Yan’s trickery
If the assassination succeeds, once the crown prince dies, he will be the best candidate for the crown prince
If the assassination fails, he will also be able to blame everything on Consort Li Shufei and King An”With them taking the blame, King Yan will be cleared of all suspicion
With the credit of saving His Majesty’s life, it’s not like there’s no chance for him to figure out what to do in the future!”In short, the one who will benefit is definitely King Yan”
What a powerful plan to kill two birds with one stone!
What a meticulous, vicious and venomous Yan Wang!
Consort Wei Xian was dumbfounded for a moment before saying, “If it’s really like what you think, this King Yan is too terrifying”
The Yan King had not yet reached the age of a weak crown, but he was already so calculating and vicious, ruthless to himself and even more ruthless to others
Such an enemy, one would be chilled by the thought of it
Ling Jingshu also smiled bitterly
Yes!
Yan Wang had never been a light!
In his previous life, he had been able to seize the throne and become the Emperor’s son, relying on more than just Empress Xu!
From this hand alone, King Yan was already enough to become a formidable enemy of the Crown Prince!
However, King An wasn’t a good thing in the first place
His abilities were mediocre, but his ambitions were not small
The death of the Crown Prince in his previous life was also King An’s handiwork
This assassination of the Crown Prince might also be a scheme set up by Yan Wang and An Wang in secret collusionNow I only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince will be out of danger soon”
Consort Wei Xian’s voice rang out, “As long as the Crown Prince does not fall, the Emperor will not change the Crown Prince”
Wei Yan had long since privately surrendered to the Imperial Grandson
Consort Wei Xian also ran out of options and naturally sided with the Crown Prince
Ling Jingshu had full confidence in Wei Yan: “Your Highness don’t worry
Since Wei Yan was able to salvage the Crown Prince, he will definitely be able to cure him”
Concubine Wei Xianxian cheered up and smiled, “Speaking of which, that day, it was thanks to you bringing the antidote pills with you, and feeding the crown prince the pills in time
Otherwise, even if Ah Yan’s medical skills were superior, it would still be too late to save the Crown Prince’s life”
After she and Ling Jingshu took the antidote pill before going to the banquet, out of caution, she had instructed Ling Jingshu to keep the antidote pill in her bedchamber
Lest they be detected and become suspicious
However, Ling Jingshu convinced her and insisted on bringing the antidote pill with her
Unexpectedly, it was this small detail that saved the Crown Prince’s life
Ling Jingshu had no more intention of covering up in front of Consort Wei Xian, and smiled a self-deprecating smile, “Actually, I didn’t expect any of this to happen at the time
I just had a bad feeling that this banquet would not be peaceful
That’s why I insisted on bringing along the antidote pills
In the end, it was also because I was too timid”No matter what, it is always a fact that you saved the crown prince”
Concubine Wei smiled happily, “With this great credit, it won’t hurt for you to walk horizontally in the palace in the future
The Crown Prince has also remembered this favor of yours, and in other days, there may be unexpected rewards”
I hope so!
I hope that the Imperial Grandson hasn’t forgotten his promise to her and will step in to get rid of the Lu family in the future!
Ling Jingshu thought secretly in her heart
She would not mention this under her breath, and quickly pulled the topic away
That night, Consort Li Shufei was sent to the palace
Waiting for Li Shufei was the Emperor’s iron-green and angry face, as well as a sharp interrogation like a blade: “At the Mid-Yuan banquet, there was a female assassin dressed up as a dancer, and intended to assassinate me during the sword dance
Is this female assassin instructed by you?
That chamberlain who assassinated the Crown Prince was also sent by your good son, King An!”For so many years, I ask myself that I have treated you well
Why did you do this?
You want to be the Empress and want King An to be the Crown Prince?
Just you mother and son deserve it?”
Consort Li Shufei had been guarded all the way here, and hadn’t even had time to change her clothes
Her hair was a bit messy, and the wrinkles on her face were particularly striking without the powder to cover them up
Looked even older than the emperor a few points
Listening to these venomous and sharp unforgiving rebuke, Li Shufei wooden for a moment, then suddenly laughedYou poisonous woman, even have the face to laugh out loud in front of me!”
The Emperor’s anger surged and he stepped forward, kicking Consort Li Shufei’s heart with all his might
This kick, used all of the Emperor’s strength Li Shufei was violently kicked to the ground, the back of her head heavily knocked on the ground, her heart and the back of her head were in a sharp pain
It was wet and should have bled
A trace of blood also spilled from Consort Li’s mouth
However, there was no look of panic or fear on her face, instead, she threw back her head and laughed long and hard
The laughter was crazy and mournful, as if it was the howl of a trapped beast before its death, echoing in the empty and silent hallI’ve been holding it in all my life, why don’t I dare to laugh”
Li Shufei actually laughed again, her laugh was sharp and shrill, with a reckless madness, “When I married you back then, you were still just the Crown Prince
I couldn’t compare to Crown Princess Jiang, and I couldn’t please you even after giving birth to a son
I recognized all of these”Empress Jiang fell ill and died, my position was the highest, I served by your side for many years, and I had hard work without merit
This throne position should have been given to me, but you were bent towards that bitch Xu Man, letting her take the throne and pressurizing me”The son she gave birth to, you like a pearl like treasure in the palm of your hand
The son I gave birth to, you didn’t even bother to give him a second glance and let him go to the clan land early on
Leaving us mother and son separated”For ten whole years, I couldn’t see my son at all
I spent every day with my tail between my legs, cowering in front of that bitch Xu Man
How can I not feel resentment in my heart?”Xu Man has given you cuckold after cuckold, and there are a few people in this palace who know about it
But no one dares to mention half a word in front of you
You don’t know how much pain I feel in my heart
As long as I think of this, I will wake up laughing in my dreams”
The Emperor’s face suddenly turned red and white, and his whole body shivered
He didn’t know what he had fumbled for and threw it hard at Consort Li Shufei
The paperweight made of jade smashed hard against the corner of Consort Li Shufei’s forehead
Immediately, the skin opened up and blood flowed freely, quickly blurring Consort Li’s face
Consort Li Shufei didn’t seem to feel the pain of the skin and flesh, still laughing freely, her face full of blood as if she was an evil ghost, looking weird and horrible: “After Xu Man was abolished, I was so happy that I didn’t sleep for a few nights in a row”You handed over the palace affairs to me, I thought you finally thought of me
However, why did you also let Consort Wei Xian also take charge of the palace affairs together?
I have endured for decades, and now I have to endure a Wei Xianfei who is younger and more beautiful than me
If I continue to endure like this, this empress position will never be mine”You don’t have me in your eyes and heart, what’s wrong with me wanting to kill you”Where is my son inferior to the Crown Prince!”I’m going to kill you and kill the Crown Prince!
At that time, my King An will be the oldest prince, and this dragon chair should be his to sit on”
