Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 643

Shen Lingjun stayed in the palace for half a month, and almost all the Buddhist scriptures prepared in his space were moved out. The Empress Dowager's condition also gradually improved.

Although the Empress Dowager was a bit confused, her intuition was even more acute. She probably noticed that she felt particularly comfortable whenever Shen Lingjun was around, so she called Shen Lingjun over to keep her company more and more often.

The female official dared not refuse the Empress Dowager's request, so in the end, Shen Lingjun spent almost the entire day with the Empress Dowager.

Whenever they had the chance, they would give the Empress Dowager acupuncture or a medicinal bath. In less than a month, the Empress Dowager's health was completely restored.

For many years, his condition had not improved, and when it was severe, he couldn't even go out. Now, he can stroll around the Imperial Garden and is happy every day. Apart from being a little forgetful, he is basically fine.

The entire palace was filled with astonishment and confusion.

The Empress Dowager has been ill for so many years, and the Imperial Hospital can only barely stabilize her condition. How come the Crown Princess recovered in less than a month after entering the palace to attend to her?

Seeing that it was about time, Shen Lingjun went directly to see Huo Tingsheng.

"Your Majesty summoned me to the palace to attend to the Empress Dowager during her illness. Now that the Empress Dowager has recovered, she no longer needs my care. As the Crown Princess, it is improper for me to stay in the palace for so long. Therefore, I have come to request Your Majesty's permission to leave the palace."

Shen Lingjun spoke with righteous indignation.

The Empress Dowager has already recovered from her illness, so why is she still attending to her illness?

Huo Tingsheng's face darkened slightly.

Huo Jinghuai has urged him many times to release Cheng Wu from the palace, as the position of the Crown Princess has been vacant and things are not looking right.

The court officials also advised him that the Crown Princess was not a concubine in the harem, and the Eastern Palace was where she should stay. As the Empress Dowager's granddaughter-in-law, it was understandable for her to enter the palace for a short period of time to take care of the Empress Dowager, but it would be really inappropriate for her to stay in the palace for a long time after the Empress Dowager had recovered.

Huo Tingsheng had no reason to keep Cheng Wu, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Then Crown Princess, go back. The Empress Dowager likes you very much. Visit the palace more often to keep her company."

Shen Lingjun bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

No sooner had she left than Huo Tingsheng summoned two top imperial guards to come.

His eyes were cold as he said, "The Crown Princess left the palace today, but she had an accident on the way and unfortunately died. Do you understand?"

Since the Empress Dowager recovered, rumors have circulated in the court that the Crown Princess was not the person who was predicted to have an inauspicious fate, but rather a person with great fortune and a prosperous destiny.

Previously, Huo Jinghuai was the weakest and least noticeable of all the princes, and he didn't seem to have any outstanding talents or abilities. But ever since Cheng Wu married him, he seemed to have been awakened and suddenly began to stand out. He has been on a smooth path and is now the crown prince.

The Empress Dowager had been ill for many years, and the Imperial Hospital had no solution. It was only after Cheng Wu came to the palace to serve her that she gradually recovered.

What kind of incredible coincidence could there be in the world?

Hearing this, Huo Tingsheng truly believed it and gradually developed murderous intent towards "Cheng Wu".

How could a woman like that stay by Huo Jinghuai's side?

With her around, wouldn't Huo Jinghuai be able to sit on the throne whenever he wanted?

If they have no further use, it's best to just kill them all quickly.
