Chapter 750: The Concubine’s Daughter Who Was Killed in Marriage (7)
Cuilan turned pale with fright, and then she remembered that Shuangshuang had dinner with the emperor today.
"Imperial Physician, please take a look at my queen quickly."
The emperor originally took his anger out on Shuangshuang. According to the world's thinking, Shuangshuang had his only son.
Now that the emperor is dead, she is the biggest beneficiary.
It can be seen that Shuangshuang was not pretending. In the end, she didn't say anything and waited for the result of the imperial physician.
After the imperial physician took Shuangshuang's pulse, he came to a conclusion.
"The Queen has also been poisoned!"
He was about to say something when Shuangshuang's 100 strokes slowly caused a large amount of blood to seep out.
The imperial physician's face changed even more. After taking Shuangshuang's pulse again, he knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my incompetence, the Imperial Concubine has had a miscarriage.
However, it was precisely because this child took away the toxins in the Empress' body, otherwise the consequences would be even more unpredictable."
No matter how stupid the emperor was, he knew that Shuangshuang would not joke about his own children.
So he angrily ordered An Yi, "Investigate thoroughly. No matter who it is, I will kill his entire family!"
With Shuangshuang's secret help, An Yi soon found out that it was the Queen's doing.
An Yi put all the evidence in front of the emperor, who was so angry that he ignored his own health and had himself carried to the queen's palace.
"You vicious woman, tell me, haven't I been good enough to you over the years?
Even though you have no children, you have been allowed to occupy the position of Queen for so many years."
The moment the queen learned that the emperor was poisoned, she became extremely worried.
I have been praying secretly that since the poison was in Zhaoyang Palace, the emperor would focus on Shuangshuang, but I didn't expect that the evidence would be found so soon.
Knowing that nothing could be done, the queen knelt dejectedly before the emperor.
"Whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty, I have never thought of harming you!
Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me and spare me this time!"
If she had harmed Shuangshuang, then even if there was evidence, the emperor would definitely pick it up high and put it down gently.
But now he has less than three years to live, and he looks so sickly. How can we not hate him so much?
Gritting his teeth, he issued an order, "The Queen is cruel and vicious. She is deposed and banished to the cold palace! The entire family of the Marquis of Cheng'en will be executed!"
Then, regardless of the queen's crying and pleading, a eunuch quickly came in, took the queen's phoenix robe, and took her to the cold palace.
At night, they both sneaked into the cold palace and hung her on the beam with a white silk.
After all, it was she who the emperor wanted to raise his child.
She's not dead, which is a huge variable. Who knows if the emperor will restore her to the position of queen in a fit of impulsiveness?
The next day, the emperor learned that the queen had hanged herself and vomited blood again.
He could have been carried to court, but now he collapsed on the bed.
After waking up, he recalled the love and affection he had with the queen for more than ten years, and finally he forced himself to issue an order to bury the queen in the concubine tomb with the ceremony of a noble concubine.
This made Concubine Li and the eldest princess's biological mother, Concubine Ning, very angry.
The imperial concubine was one level higher than them, so except for Shuangshuang, everyone had to keep vigil for her.
Fortunately, since she was the daughter of a criminal, there was no grand funeral. Her body was only kept in the palace for three days before being carried to Huangjue Temple.
In the following days, the emperor was in poor health, and Concubine Li and Concubine Ning stayed with him every day, under the pretext of attending to his illness.
In fact, both of them knew why it was for the position of queen.
Shuangshuang, however, was sitting on the Diaoyutai, as she had the emperor's only son in her hands.
The emperor couldn't be so stupid as to make someone else his queen.
As Shuangshuang expected, no matter how attentive the two men were to the emperor, the emperor would never give in.
He was even unwilling to make Shuangshuang, the prince's biological mother, the queen, let alone others.
But they both pretended not to know anything, and after the month of confinement was over, they went to him every day to show their affection to him, or rather to take care of him when he was sick.
Occasionally, I would bring the two children over to strengthen their relationship.
However, she never expressed any ambition for the position of empress like Concubine Li and Concubine Ning.
The emperor was ill for half a year. Just when he felt that his end was near, he finally appointed Shuangshuang as queen and the eldest prince as crown prince.
But what disgusted Shuangshuang was that he was worried that Shuangshuang's harem would interfere in politics and that the in-laws would monopolize power.
He was so smart that he discussed with his trusted eunuchs to leave a few secret instructions with some trusted ministers and then have them buried alive with him.
Little Orange was so angry that he ran around.
"You idiot, you're still thinking about interfering in government affairs from the harem at this time!
Don't you think about it? No matter how much he interferes in politics, he is still your biological son and you will definitely not harm him.
But the same cannot be said for others. No matter which clan member he colluded with, it could cost him his life!"
Shuangshuang waited until Xiaojuzi finished complaining before trying to persuade him.
"Alright, since he's unkind, then we can be unjust too. Let him die and leave behind a so-called will."
When the eunuch summoned several ministers into the palace according to the emperor's request.
In front of them, a root as thin as a hair penetrated his heart from the ground.
Before the emperor could finish his words, he spat out blood and collapsed in front of several trusted ministers.
The eunuch was sweating profusely, holding the emperor and shouting anxiously, "Doctor, come quickly and take a look at the emperor."
The director of the Imperial Medical Service did not go home during this period and stayed in the side hall to guard the place, because he was worried that something might happen to the emperor.
At this time, he didn't even have time to put on his hat and ran over in a hurry.
He suddenly knelt in front of the emperor's bed and reached out to feel his pulse.
His face turned pale in an instant and he collapsed to the ground.
He quickly stood up and anxiously changed hands, but he remained dejected and silent.
The eunuch was also panicked when he saw him like that.
"Madam Doctor, how is the Emperor?"
The director wiped his sweat off his forehead and tremblingly placed his fingers in front of the emperor's nostrils to check his breathing.
After a long while, he prostrated himself on the ground, crying.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty has passed away!"
In an instant, all the ministers, eunuchs and palace maids in the room knelt on the ground and cried.
"emperor……"
Especially those trusted ministers, they knelt before the emperor and cried uncontrollably.
If you don’t know, you might think their parents are dead.
In fact, everyone was overjoyed.
The emperor died, leaving behind this little kid.
The entire Yongxing Kingdom is not their world yet!
When the emperor passed away, the prince naturally succeeded to the throne.
It’s just that there is no dragon robe for the little emperor. That’s simple. All the embroiderers in the weaving department work overtime and are determined to make the dragon robe before the emperor ascends the throne.
The Ministry of Works also had a hard time, as the emperor's crown had to be made according to the emperor's little head.
It must be equally grand and dignified, but not too heavy, otherwise the little emperor's head will not be able to bear such a heavy weight.
Since the emperor did not leave any so-called will, the matter of burying both of them alive naturally came to nothing.
Although the eunuch knew it, at this point, he would not be so stupid as to jump up and down and joke with his own head.
