Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 231 Poisoning

Although the second prince is still alive, he is no different from a useless person.

Now, the only prince under Chang Liu's name is the fourth prince of Concubine Liu.

How could Chang Liu not feel uncomfortable?

When others ascended the throne to become emperor, one prince after another was born.

But when it came to Chang Liu, it was just the opposite.

The princes died one after another.

This made him doubt himself, wondering if God was dissatisfied with him as an emperor?

Xianxian gently stroked Chang Liu's face and comforted him.

"I understand your majesty's sadness. The Second Prince must be blaming himself very much because he has made his parents sad."

"It was all just an accident. Your Majesty, please don't blame yourself too much."

Thinking of the Second Prince's understanding, Chang Liu's heart suddenly tightened.

"Zhizhi, do you think God is punishing me? But did I do anything wrong?"

Chang Liu said sadly, "I have worked tirelessly to govern the country and care for the people. I have never slacked off since I ascended the throne. Why would God punish me?"

Xianxian agreed with this statement very much. Chang Liu was a rare good emperor.

It is a blessing for the people.

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? How can you have such thoughts?"

Xianxian sat up straight and held Chang Liu's face.

She said very seriously, "Your Majesty is a wise ruler. It is heaven's will to have you as king."

I didn’t expect Xianxianju would seriously comfort myself.

Chang Liu always felt that there was a distance between the two of them.

They were clearly sleeping in the same bed, but there always felt like there was a barrier between them.

But it was precisely this sense of distance that made Chang Liu feel unwilling and obsessed.

This is probably the man's desire to conquer. The more he can't get something, the more excited he becomes.

He fantasized about Xianxian's acceptance.

Therefore, the slightest bit of tenderness revealed by Xianxian could make him feel unprecedented joy.

Chang Liu's eyes were gentle and a soft smile appeared.

"It turns out that in Zhizhi's eyes, I am such a good person."

Maybe even Chang Liu himself didn't notice it.

He is falling in love with Xianxian little by little.

Her mystery, her holiness, her alienation, her coldness...

But he didn't notice it, but Xianxian did.

"Yes, in my eyes, your Majesty is very good."

Chang Liu felt so excited that he couldn't help but put his hand on her slender belly.

Carefully feel the response of the baby in your belly.

A loving smile appeared on his face.

"Now I am looking forward to the birth of our child. I hope he will be a little prince."

"I will teach him horse riding and archery, the Four Books and Five Classics, and I will also teach him how to govern a country."

Facing Chang Liu's expectations.

Xianxian also put her hands on her belly.

There was a deep meaning in her eyes.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely make sure you get what you want."

It will be a healthy little prince, born with hope.

It was a rare nice day, so Xianxian didn't forget to visit the Queen Mother to keep in touch with her.

The New Year is approaching and the sun rarely rises these days.

When Xianxian arrived at the Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was praying in the Buddhist temple.

Ever since the Second Prince got into trouble, the Queen Mother had a private Buddhist temple built.

There is a Buddha statue enshrined inside, and the Queen Mother would chant sutras and pray in the temple in the afternoon.

Having lost grandchildren one after another, the Queen Mother must be a little scared.

She was afraid of her son and ended up being childless.

The nanny whispered at the door, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Yi is here."

After a few seconds of silence, the Queen Mother's voice was heard.

"Let her in."

"Mother, please."

The Buddhist hall was kept very clean and you could smell the scent of incense as soon as you stepped in.

Xianxian first saluted the Queen Mother.

"I have seen the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother knelt on the cushion with her hands clasped together and her eyes closed.

"Come on, you are heavy and it is inconvenient for you, so just sit aside."

By the time Xianxian sat down, the Queen Mother had already stood up.

"You are already pregnant, why don't you stay in the palace and take good care of my grandson."

She walked forward and touched her slender belly with Buddhist beads, looking very kind and gentle.

If you didn't know the Queen Mother's past, you would definitely be confused by her appearance.

Xianxian picked up the pastry beside her with her bulging belly.

"The baby in my belly missed the cakes in the Queen Mother's Palace, so I brought it here."

The Queen Mother sat nearby.

He casually pushed the pastries on the table gently towards Xianxian.

He laughed and scolded, "You are such a greedy cat."

Just after taking a bite of the pastry, Xianxian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The taste of the cakes is slightly different this time. Did the Cining Palace get a new cook?"

The Queen Mother nodded, "Do you like it?"

"Li Bin came here two days ago with my recommendation. I heard she is very good at making water chestnut cake."

"I know you like water chestnut cake, so I asked this cook to stay in the small kitchen of Cining Palace."

"Pregnant women can't eat much, so if they come across something they like, they should eat more."

Looking at the half piece of water chestnut cake in her hand, Xianxian chewed it slowly without changing her expression.

Li Bin...

"vomit."

I saw Xianxian covering her chest with blood slowly flowing from the corner of her mouth.

She fell backwards trembling all over, looking as if she couldn't breathe.

"Princess Yi!"

The Queen Mother stepped forward to support Xianxian and shouted, "Call the Imperial Physician!"

When the imperial physician came and treated her, he discovered that Xianxian was poisoned.

Fortunately, she did not eat much water chestnut cake, so the imperial physician prepared an antidote for her to drink.

This saved Xianxian and the baby in her belly.

Xianxian was lying unconscious on the bed, her small face, as big as a palm, pale as a mirror.

Apart from her bulging belly, the rest of her body seemed too thin, like a sleeping fairy.

If you don't try to keep me, I will leave with the wind.

The Queen Mother sat aside with a grim expression.

"Emperor, the rotten flesh must be cut off. You spared her last time out of consideration for our friendship."

"Now that she has extended her hand into my palace, we must not indulge her so easily."

Although she was clearly saying something that threatened to kill someone, the Queen Mother had a calm expression on her face.

It doesn't seem like it's deciding life or death.

It's more like pleading for someone.

Just two casual sentences completely determined Concubine Li's fate.

Chang Liu clenched his fists with pity in his eyes.

When he heard that Xianxian was poisoned just now, he was so scared that his whole body turned cold.

If something really happened to Xianxian and the fetus in her belly, Chang Liu couldn't imagine how desperate he would be.

"Mother, I will never let you off easily."

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine Li is here."

Chang Liu said coldly, "Let her in."

I heard that I sent it to the Queen Mother's cook to poison Xianxian.

Concubine Li was frightened out of her wits.

On the way here, I was even more nervous.

"See you...ah!"

Li Pin was kicked in the chest by Chang Liu and fell to the ground screaming in pain.

But she still endured the pain and got up.

"Your Majesty, it was not I who poisoned Concubine Yi."

Chang Liu pointed at her and said angrily, "The Queen Mother has blocked the news of Concubine Yi being poisoned. No one knows except me. How did you know about it?"

"what?"

His face, already pale from the pain, now lost all its color.

I was tricked.

There is something wrong with the palace maid who came to deliver the message just now.

Concubine Li was so anxious that she was sweating all over, but in Chang Liu's eyes she looked guilty.

"I have spared you time and again, Li, why are you still so cruel and ruthless? Do you really want me to execute you?"

"No, Your Majesty, I did nothing."

She defended herself in horror, without caring about her image at all.

If I were convicted, it would be all over.
