Chapter 749: The Concubine’s Daughter Who Was Killed in Marriage (6)
Within a month, the queen found out that Shuangshuang's son was the emperor's.
She was so angry that she smashed all the furnishings in the palace and then ordered her personal maid.
"If you let the people from Zhaoyang Palace move, I will make sure that bitch and those two bastards die without a burial place!"
However, the trusted senior palace maid had a different opinion.
"Your Majesty, you have been in the palace for more than ten years and there has been no news of pregnancy.
The same is true for the two girls our Lord specially sent here.
But now the emperor is over 30 years old, and there are rumors in the court about adopting a son.
This servant guesses that this is why the Emperor, regardless of worldly dignity, wants to bring the Imperial Concubine and her son into the palace."
The queen was not a fool. She had just lost her ability to think because of her anger.
At this time, he calmed down, looked at the senior palace maid, and spoke softly.
"You mean to kill the mother and keep the child?"
The senior palace maid nodded.
Huang Hou narrowed his eyes and said, "You are right. If the imperial concubine dies, I am the only one who has the qualifications to raise her."
Shuangshuang was happy when she learned from Xiaojuzi that the queen was going to take action against her.
Acting with the emperor every day is really annoying!
"Watch it carefully, don't make any mistakes.
This time I will capture both of them and make them my queen mother."
The queen was very patient and had not made any movement since that incident.
When the child turned one year old, a grand banquet was held in the palace.
In fact, these ministers are all sperm.
Thinking about how Guo Yixuan had been told by the imperial physician that he had no hope of having children, and then thinking about the emperor's obsession with Shuangshuang, and how he brought both her and the child into the palace, he already had the answer in his mind.
At the two children's first birthday party, seeing the emperor holding a little dumpling who looked exactly like him, he understood everything.
What happened next was a natural progression.
The emperor officially announced that he would give the two children names, give them the royal surname, and enter them into the family tree.
In the court, except for those royal family members who advocated adoption, no minister opposed it.
On the contrary, some loyal old ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter whether he is a concubine's son or an illegitimate child, this face is enough to prove that he is the emperor's biological son.
This made Li Yulan and Zhao Wanqing extremely furious!
They never thought that they had already pushed both of them into a quagmire, but they didn't expect that she would turn the tide and have the good fortune to hook up with the emperor.
If I had known this would happen, why would I have let her go?
Especially Zhao Wanqing. Just three days after her marriage, her husband disliked her and was unwilling to enter her house.
It was not until both of them entered the palace and became imperial concubines that he began to treat her better.
Because of this, Zhao Wanqing felt even more humiliated.
She is clearly a legitimate daughter, but she needs a concubine's daughter to protect her.
But Earl Jing'an was very happy. No matter whether she was legitimate or illegitimate, she was his biological daughter after all.
In order to elevate Shuangshuang's status, he discussed with Li Yulan for the first time to make Aunt Zhao a co-wife.
Li Yulan naturally firmly opposed it!
Because Aunt Zhao has not only a daughter, Shuangshuang, but also a son, Zhao Yunche.
If she really becomes a co-wife, then Zhao Yunche will have the right of inheritance. Then can the Jing'an Marquis Mansion still belong to his son?
Shuangshuang has no time to take care of the affairs of the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion for the time being.
Because the two children had passed away, the queen also began to plot to kill both of them, which was the most important thing.
That day, Little Orange reminded, "Action has begun in the kitchen.
The medicine is in the bowl of Tremella Soup that you eat every day."
So they both dressed up and sent someone to invite the emperor.
Because the emperor's daily life could not be known to others, no one knew that his favorite food was sweets except for the eunuchs who served him closely.
However, the amount of sugar tribute was very small, so it was all rewarded to a few concubines in the harem.
He would also leave a small amount there, and when no one was around, he would ask his trusted eunuch to make some desserts for her.
When the two of them were halfway through their meal, the kitchen brought out the Tremella soup that they took to nourish their bodies every day.
They both shook their heads and waved their hands to let them take it away.
"I don't have much appetite today, so take it away."
The emperor looked at the bowl of silver fungus, his eyes sparkling, and said, "What is this? Let me taste it."
Shuangshuang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Your Majesty, this is something women eat, you want to try it too?"
The emperor ignored Shuangshuang's obstruction and asked the eunuch to bring the Tremella soup over.
The senior eunuch followed the rules and tested the poison with a silver needle. Then the junior eunuch took a bite and found that he was fine.
The reason why Shuangshuang dared to plot against the emperor was that she knew that this poison was a secret medicine of the aristocratic families. It was colorless and odorless, and even a silver needle could not detect it.
I think the Queen doesn’t have many such good things, and it’s an honor to be able to use them to deal with Shuangshuang.
In order to prove that they had no hand in these things, Shuangshuang directly said, "Since the emperor wants to eat, then I will get another bowl and give you half."
Shuangshuang had just taken a bite when Cuiliu came over to report, "The little princess is crying for some reason."
Her eyes were filled with doting, "This child, I can't rest without seeing you for a quarter of an hour."
Then she bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I will go see our little princess first."
The emperor nodded and said, "Go, bring the two children here so I can see if they have grown any bigger."
After saying that, he continued to eat the Tremella soup in his hand until he finished it all. Then Shuangshuang came over on time with Cui Liu and Cui Lan, each holding a child.
Seeing that the emperor had finished eating, he picked up his own and put it into his mouth.
But the emperor suddenly covered his stomach and spit out blood.
All the palace people were frightened and screamed in fear, and the eunuch shouted while trying to remain calm.
"Call the imperial physician! Hurry up and call the imperial physician!"
The imperial physician came over to take the emperor's pulse, and his face turned pale instantly, and he broke out in sweat.
"Your Majesty, you...you...you have a secret medicine from the previous dynasty."
The eunuch heard this and quickly asked, "Can the imperial physician remove the poison?"
The imperial physician nodded and said, "It is possible to cure the disease, but the emperor has been poisoned quite severely, and his lungs have been damaged.
The poison can be removed, but the damage to the lungs is difficult to recover from."
The emperor also understood the meaning of the imperial physician's words and asked directly.
"Tell me, how long do I have to make arrangements?"
The imperial physician wiped his sweat, closed his eyes and spoke in a weak voice.
"At most...at most three to three years."
The emperor spat out blood again, and his face turned pale.
Shuangshuang shouted anxiously, "Then why don't you go and prescribe medicine for the emperor?"
After the imperial physician prescribed the medicine, the eunuch took the prescription and gave it to his confidant.
The emperor was about to shoot down the people in Zhaoyang Palace, but Shuangshuang suddenly covered his heart, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he slowly fell down.
