The Destiny of Going to Hell

Concubine Qi was roughly twisted by the guards and forced to kneel on the ground. Her timid nature was revealed at this time and her whole body was shaking.

It took her a while for her to realize what she had done and she burst into tears.

When Imperial Doctor Zhang arrived and saw this grand scene, he almost fell to the ground with weak legs. Damn, it was because the job of an imperial doctor was dangerous that he wanted to work two jobs to earn two salaries.

He is afraid that it will be difficult for him to survive if he keeps doing this every day. No, he must resign when he goes back today. He has earned enough money for retirement anyway.

Doctor Zhang, who had examined the cakes, was speechless and choked up. "Your Majesty, there is enough rat poison in this cake. Even a little bit can kill a child."

Si, you say Concubine Qi is smart, but she doesn't use other poisons that are not obvious and have a slow onset. You say she is not smart, but she knows to use rat poison. If Concubine Zhaomu's son is really touched by this, he will die.

"There's nothing serious wrong with Prince Hongxi. He just got a little frightened. Just prescribe some medicine and have the wet nurse take it to feed the prince." After reporting, Zhang Mi lowered his head and counted the floor tiles.

The people who went to investigate also reported back that Cuiguo, who was by Concubine Qi's side, had gone to the Imperial Household Department recently and said that there were rats infesting the palace and she had taken some rat poison.

Yinzhen was furious after hearing this, and wanted to rush up and kick her again, "You evil woman! How did Concubine Zhaomu and Hongxi provoke you to do such a vicious thing?"

Concubine Qi just cried and didn't even open her mouth to explain.

Shen Meizhuang shed tears silently, "I thought you came here today to discuss the experience of raising children, but I didn't expect you to put us to death! Hongxi is still so young, and we are all mothers, sister Qifei, you have such a cruel heart!"

Seeing that Concubine Qi was really going to be blamed, Cuiguo knelt down and prostrated herself to apologize, "It's all my fault for not being careful enough to mix up the cakes for poisoned rats with the cakes prepared by the Empress. I am to blame for this, and I'm sorry to Concubine Zhaomu and the little prince!"

Although Cuiguo's body was trembling slightly and she looked extremely frightened, her words were clear and coherent.

Concubine Qi was stunned for a moment, and also cried, "Your Majesty, I didn't do that! It was just an accident, Your Majesty!"

Yinzhen laughed sarcastically, "Accidentally? What an accident! You actually accidentally stuffed this poisonous cake into Hongxi's mouth even though Concubine Zhaomu begged you to do so?"

His eyes glanced back and forth between Concubine Qi and Cui Guo, "You, do you think I'm a fool?"

Concubine Qi stammered, not daring to look up at Yinzhen's dark eyes, nor did she dare to look at Shen Meizhuang's accusing look.

As a mother herself, she could certainly understand Shen Meizhuang's hatred, but unfortunately, it was precisely because she was a mother that she had to do this.

Cuiguo felt ruthless and said, "It's all my fault. I will pay for my life to Concubine Zhaomu and the young prince," while she quickly walked towards the burning octagonal incense burner in the middle of the hall.

Cuiguo's head crashed into the sharp horn, leaving a big hole on her forehead. Blood flowed down her face and onto Cuiguo's favorite silver bracelet...

She opened her eyes and looked at Concubine Qi, with a very faint smile on her lips. Concubine Qi stared at Cuiguo blankly, and even forgot to cry.

Yinzhen sneered and said, "Oh, she is still a loyal servant. It's a pity that she forgot that the only person she needs to be loyal to in this Forbidden City is me, and I am not a fool who can be deceived."

Yinzhen's eyes flashed with coldness, "Take this servant's body and feed it to the dogs."

He looked at the stunned Concubine Qi with annoyance in his eyes, stupid and vicious, "Concubine Qi will be banished to the cold palace."

When Concubine Qi was dragged away, her eyes were fixed on Cui Guo who was carried by the guards. This silly girl, this silly girl...

Concubine Qi remembered that before Cuiguo came, she had been advising her not to be so anxious, and that this method was not a perfect solution. Unfortunately, she did not listen...

Yinzhen looked at Shen Meizhuang and hugged her silently, "Don't worry, Mei'er, I will have someone give Li Jingyan poisoned wine and will not let you suffer this injustice in vain."

Shen Meizhuang sobbed softly after hearing this, "Zhen Lang, I'm so scared, I'm so scared. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise I really don't know what to do."

Shen Meizhuang wrapped her arms around Yinzhen's waist, her arms trembling slightly with fear and relief. Yinzhen felt the trembling and hugged Shen Meizhuang even tighter.

Of course Yinzhen knew clearly what Concubine Qi wanted. It was to help Hongshi get rid of his more favored son Shen Meizhuang and eliminate a powerful enemy for him to ascend the throne.

She didn't even think about how she could possibly hand over the throne to her son Hongshi, who was still studying in the study room.

I am so stupid and have made no achievements in my studies. Do I look like an old man with blurry eyes?

Even if I really like Hongshi, the age gap between Hongxi and Hongshi is so huge, why would she be afraid of a child?

Moreover, I am not even dead yet, but she is already dreaming of taking the throne. She is so ambitious.

No wonder Hongshi only grew taller but not smarter, it seems he took after his stupid mother.

After Yinzhen left, Shen Meizhuang had the octagonal incense burner carried out. "This thing is tainted with bad luck. Ask the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to replace it with a better-looking one. Remember to ask them to wrap the corners with cloth to prevent someone from bumping into it next time."

Shen Meizhuang's expression was calm, as if she was talking about something very normal. She could save Cuiguo before she hit the incense burner, but why should she save her?

Is she expected to lend a helping hand to those who are planning to harm her and her children?

They dared to do this and still want to praise themselves for the deep love between master and servant?

The fool Concubine Qi dared to have thoughts about Hongxi, which must have been instigated by the Queen. If she hadn't noticed some of the Queen's little tricks, she would have sent Yixiu away right now...

Damn the rules. It's ok that the system gives discounts to the emperor, but I can't even send the emperor away directly...

Shen Meizhuang shook her hands in annoyance and picked up Yongan. She could only play with the child to relieve her inner unhappiness.
