Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1187

"Ah... it hurts..." The Queen Mother was consumed by a new round of pain. She clearly felt that thousands of insects were eating her alive.

Her breathing was rapid, her pupils dilated, her eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets because of the pain, and her hands tightly grasped her clothes, her fingertips almost breaking from the excessive force.

"Please, please, please give me the antidote..." The Queen Mother was in so much pain that her nose and saliva could not be controlled, and she used the last of her sanity to beg for mercy.

But Shi Anxia said leisurely, "Have you forgotten that you told me in person that there is no antidote for 'Thousand Insect Powder'?"

The Empress Dowager felt a sharp pain in her head, as if she saw Shi Anxia kneeling in the rain begging for medicine.

She cried so miserably for a palace maid, "Please Queen Mother, give me medicine! Please Queen Mother, give me medicine! Queen Mother, I promise not to investigate Xiyue's death anymore. Please give Dongxi the antidote..."

The Empress Dowager at that time looked at Shi Anxia with disgust, "What evidence do you have to prove that this 'Thousand Insect Powder' was created by me?"

Shi Anxia kowtowed like crazy, her forehead was covered in blood, and she begged incoherently, "I have no evidence! I know it wasn't the Queen Mother who gave me the drug, but I beg the Queen Mother to give me the antidote... I will never investigate Xiyue's death again, I will never investigate it again, please give me the antidote!"

Shi Anxia saw with her own eyes that Xiyue was reduced to nothing but skin, so how could she bear to see Dongxi become like this?

She disregarded her status and only sought to save Dong Xi's life.

But the Queen Mother said, "Where is the antidote for 'Thousand Insect Powder'? There is no antidote in this world."

......

The Empress Dowager eventually fainted from the pain and lay on the ground like a lifeless corpse.

Shi Anxia quietly looked at the nails dyed with rouge on her slender jade fingers, and her smile was as cold as frost.

She had never understood why Emperor Rongguang had so few children in his harem, but later she found out that it was the Empress Dowager's doing.

The Empress Dowager wanted the bloodline of the Li family to inherit the throne, so she secretly sent people to drug and kill the babies in the bellies of other concubines, including her own Anxia's, leaving only Li Lanzhi's son, who later became Emperor Yuqing.

Therefore, because Xiyue was interested in medical theory and loved to study medical skills, the Empress Dowager was afraid that she would discover the clues, so she regarded her as a thorn in her side and killed her.

It was many years later that Shi Anxia discovered the truth. She then decisively abandoned Emperor Yu Qing, who was already too dull and unable to handle the important task, and supported His Royal Highness Prince Ling to ascend the throne.

She just refused to do what this old poisonous creature wanted!

The Empress Dowager curled up in pain, her pale face almost unrecognizable under the dim candlelight. Her hair was sparse and white, large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her mouth twitched, drooling uncontrollably.

Shi Anxia's eyes were full of indifference and determination. He walked closer to her and whispered, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that my husband is Emperor Heng of Liang. Soon, we will take back the throne. By then, I will still be the queen..."

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the Phoenix Girl in front of her with all her might.

Emperor Heng of Liang! Chen Yuan! She remembered that Emperor Heng of Liang seemed to be called Cen... Yuan... So that's it!

Shi Anxia smiled and said, "The emperor also knows about this, so you can't alienate us. Oh, by the way, Shi Anrou should also know about it, but she...ha, just doesn't like to tell you."

The Queen Mother was so angry that she seemed to have forgotten the pain. Her lips trembled and she could not speak clearly. "She, she, she knows it too!"

Shi Anxia said everything he had to say, and without even looking at her, he stood up and walked out of the cell door, leaving behind four words, "You brought this upon yourself."

Behind her, the Queen Mother let out a roar of grief and anger and a wail of pain.

Shi Anxia took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and handed it to the jailer, "Take good care of her."

The jailer nodded ingratiatingly, took the silver bag, and hurriedly lit a stick of incense.
