Chapter 198(1/2)
After the Crown Princess was buried, the Crown Prince's Mansion was peaceful. Concubine Li sat there with her child in her arms, looking at the woman in the mansion. It seemed that everyone was waiting for the emperor to issue an order, because they soon knew who the next Crown Princess was.
She sighed helplessly. This world is really ruthless. It is obvious that that person has just been buried, but now these people have begun to think about her position.
The emperor's statement that he wanted to make Shui Qingjin the Crown Princess was already spread in the Crown Prince's Mansion. Now everyone is waiting, and many people have begun to curry favor with her. It is ridiculous to say that, where did these people go when she was not favored?
She turned to look at Jiang Xue sitting next to her. Logically speaking, there was only one princess who was the most saddest this time. After all, the two of them were on equal terms at the beginning, but now they were like one in the sky and one underground.
But now Jiang Xue looks deep and very calm.
"What are Sister Li staring at me all the time?"
She smiled, but her head still didn't turn around, but just smiled faintly.
Concubine Li was stunned for a moment and said directly: "I'm just curious. She will be the crown princess soon, and your position has not yet been restored. Don't you hate it in your heart?"
She has always thought that Jiang Xue is a powerful character, and she has known since she was the Crown Princess. She knew in her heart that Jiang Xue had always had something wrong with Lu Yanqing, but she never directly fought because she knew that she would definitely lose, which was different from Shui Qingjin.
She is a wise person, otherwise the prince would not have conferred a concubine as the prince's concubine against the emperor and the queen's intentions.
"I am just a farmer's woman. How can I compare with the prime minister's daughter? The queen will naturally like this daughter from a wealthy family."
Concubine Li looked at Shui Qingjin over there and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. She always felt that this woman was not upright, especially her attitude towards Lu Yanqing.
"However, I am so calm not because I have seen this reality clearly, but because I understand that she cannot become the crown princess."
She suddenly said confidently, making Concubine Li look very strange. She seemed to have known something in advance, and what exactly can make her so confident?
After waiting for a while, it was not the eunuch who sent the order, but Princess Muxue's brother, the prince of Yongxu Kingdom.
When Shue Qingjin saw someone coming, she looked a little unhappy, but she walked over and talked to him.
"Why is the prince here? Since the funeral has ended, Prince Chaoyang doesn't have to continue staying here."
Prince Chaoyang looked at her coldly, and without saying a word, he drew his sword and stabbed her abdomen. Everyone present was stunned.
"You..." Shui Qingjin looked at her already bulging abdomen. If she continued to use this sword, her child would definitely be gone, and she...
"Hmph, it was you who poisoned my sister. Since the prince cannot come back to preside over my sister, I will avenge my sister and tell your monarch that Yongxu Kingdom will do everything in its entirety and avenge my sister."
After saying this, he immediately turned around and left. Lu Mingchen was sitting at the door of the prince's mansion and in the carriage.
"Prince, please get in the car, I'll take you out of the capital."
"You?" Prince Chaoyang frowned slightly.
"You killed the prince's concubine and released that way, do you think you can leave here alive? Let's go, your people are all outside the city. You can return to the country together after leaving the city."
He thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. Seeing that he looked weak, he would not do anything to him, so he got on the carriage.
In the prince's mansion, Concubine Li handed the child to her maid and immediately went to check Shui Qingjin's condition.
The blood had dyed her clothes red, and she only had a trace of strength left.
"Come on, I will tell you about the Imperial Doctor, Imperial Doctor! Go quickly, the princess from Prince Kang's mansion is invited."
She was really panicked. She looked at the people around her with a look of surprise and dared not come forward. She was the only one who dared to stand up. Jiang Xue smiled faintly, her smile was gentle.
The imperial physician came soon, but in the end he could only shake his head.
"It's useless, hey, I'm incompetent."
The imperial physician sighed helplessly, shook his head and left.
No matter whether it was a child or a person, there was no rescue. Concubine Li didn't expect that this would end. This was really too sudden.
Lu Yanqing also came, looking at Concubine Li with a sad face, with a confused look on her face.
"What happened?"
"The imperial physician just said that Concubine Shui is no longer able to do it."
Lu Yanqing was not so surprised, but he was still surprised in front of everyone: "What happened? I'll go see my sister."
After saying this, she immediately walked in. Concubine Li wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Jiang Xue.
"The prince cried just now, and the wet nurse couldn't coax her. Sister Li would rather go and see the prince. Just leave the next thing to me."
Concubine Li sighed and suddenly realized that she should not be involved in this matter. She just saw her like that. She really couldn't bear it. Now that she was already like this, she could only do this.
"I see."
In the room, Shui Qingjin was dying. Lu Yanqing looked at Jiang Xue who came in, and her smile immediately changed, but a sarcastic smile.
"My good sister, I didn't expect you to be today."
Shui Qingjin looked at the person standing by the bed, her eyes full of blood.
"You...are you here to save me?"
When Lu Yanqing heard her say this, she suddenly felt a little incredible and asked back: "Why do you think I will save you? I'm here to see how you die."
Seeing her like this, Shui Qingjin felt completely desperate. Could it be that her life will end now? She was only one step away from her, and she was only one step away, so she got to that position again.
"Are you really going to be so desperate to save me? Aren't you going to torture me?"
"I've had enough fun." Lu Yanqing said indifferently. His smile was very bright. "And it makes people die suddenly when you are so happy. This is originally a torture. Do you want to live? Hahaha, I don't let you live."
Shui Qingjin stretched out her hand and wanted to grab the corner of her clothes, but she couldn't reach it. She hated her heart, but fate was tormenting.
"You... I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."
"It's a pity that people like you will only fall into Avici Hell. As the elder sister, I will send you a trip. You should be self-sufficient."
"Hmph..." Even if it was the last moment of her life, she would never want to give in. "Even if I die, the position of this Crown Princess is Jiang Xue. You wanted my second sister to kill her, didn't you just want her to be the Crown Princess? Now... everything is still the same, and you didn't win."
When Lu Yanqing heard this, she smiled even brighter. She looked back at Jiang Xue who had already found a seat to sit down leisurely, and then turned to look at her.
"Since it's time, I'll tell you that she has been mine since the beginning, and I'll tell you by the way that I'm the one who sent you to the prince's bed."
"You..." She was completely speechless. It turned out that from the beginning, she had been in her control. She thought she had won, but she did not expect that she was the worst person.
She only felt that she was having difficulty breathing now, and she hated her heart, but now she was also powerless, her hands were still swaying in the air, but she couldn't touch anything.
Lu Yanqing's smile was still imprinted in her mind. She would never forget that she vomited a mouthful of blood and could never see or hear everything in this world.
"Dead." Jiang Xue said.
Lu Yanqing closed her smile and sighed helplessly. She looked at her eyes before she closed, and her heart should be full of hatred for her. She suddenly thought of the original person, that innocent girl, what made her?
Perhaps at the last moment, she didn't know where she was wrong. She reached out to close her eyes, turned her head and said to Jiang Xue: "Now you have no obstacles."
"Yes, I have to thank the princess. As for what I have said from the beginning, I have been yours? Don't just say this."
Lu Yanqing was cold and said nothing, so she bypassed her and went out.
There was no one at the door. All the people who came to see her had left at this time. No one would come to see her if a dead person had no value.
"Miss, let's go back too." Ruo'er said on the side. She felt that it was a little cold. She didn't know why the lady stood at the door in a daze. Could it be that she was sad for the third lady's affairs? It didn't look like it.
"Yeah, go back."
Shui Qingjin died like this. In the end, she didn't get the man she wanted, nor did she know the man she loved the most and who she really liked.
As soon as she returned to the palace, she went directly to Sima Yunhua.
Most of the injuries on her body have healed, but the injuries on her face are still very serious, and her eyes are not in a good condition at all.
Sima Yunhua listened to her steps and had already guessed who the person coming in. The corners of her mouth curled slightly and her head turned slightly: "Second Sister-in-law, you are here."
"How do you know it's me?" Lu Yanqing was also curious.
"If this person's eyes cannot be seen, the other senses will become better. I hear this step is like yours."
"Well, I'm here to tell you that Shui Qingjin is dead."
Sima Yunhua was stunned when she heard the man's name. It was the woman who harmed her and she would never forget it.
"Yeah?"
"Yes, if a person does too many wrong things, he will definitely harm himself in the end. And there is another thing that I have found the treatment method for your eyes, but I am only seventy percent sure. Are you willing to give it a try?" Even if I asked Sister Luo Xue about this, I was not sure about her eyes.
When Sima Yunhua heard this, she was still excited and groped to hold her hand: "I do. Even if it is not cured, I will still not see it. It's better to give it a try."
Seeing that she agreed, Lu Yanqing nodded: "Okay, I will start to help you treat it tomorrow."
Sima Yunhua smiled, and her smile was filled with hope.
Li Yi was busy until the evening when she came back. When she came back, Lu Yanqing had already washed up and sat in the quilt to read a book.
"It's really late for the prince to come back today."
"Yes, my father gave me an errand and went to the Crown Prince's Mansion to announce the conferment of Jiang Xue as the Crown Princess. I came back only after reading it."
Sure enough, the Crown Princess was still Jiang Xue, and Lu Yanqing was not surprised. This was originally within the plan.
He sat down beside the bed and started taking off his shoes and socks, but he looked very tired and seemed to have something to do.
"What do you think about again? Are the words that Prince Chaoyang of Yongxu Kingdom said today? Don't worry, they can't beat him for a while."
Li Yi looked back at her and lost a breath. Sure enough, nothing could escape her eyes. He was indeed worried about this matter.
"How do you know they won't call you for the time being?"
"The strength of Yongxu Kingdom is not as strong as that of Fengyu Kingdom, and they suffered a great loss last time. This time they will definitely not dare to act rashly. We will marry Anwu Kingdom. If the war begins, Anwu Kingdom will definitely help me. In addition, the war between the prince and Qiyue Kingdom will definitely win."
