Chapter 469 I'm Pregnant with Qingzhu's Child
"Your Majesty, Consort Ji is right here in this hall. Do you dare to confront her?"
"Hmph, Consort Ji and I are both the Emperor's women. She resents the Emperor for punishing her and sending her to the Cold Palace. What does her poisoning of the Emperor have to do with me?"
Listening to her sophistry, Wu Weiwei looked at Lin Li.
"Consort Ji, don't say I didn't give you a chance to live..."
Lin Li loosened the ropes binding Ji Fei, but saw her staring intently at him.
"Lin Li, if I accuse the Empress, are you sure you'll let me go?"
"What do you say?"
Lin Li glanced at her sideways, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Heh, he definitely won't release her, but he could at least leave her a whole corpse.
Seeing that Lin Li did not respond, Consort Ji fell silent.
A moment later, she stood up and staggered toward the Empress.
"Empress, you personally handed me the poison to kill the Emperor. You haven't forgotten so quickly, have you?"
Looking at the pitiful state of Consort Ji before her, the Empress was filled with mockery.
"Consort Ji, do you think I'm as stupid as you? If it's poison, why would I personally hand it to you so you can use it against me?"
"Oh, are you sure?"
Consort Ji smiled and took a handkerchief out of her pocket.
Upon unfolding the handkerchief and seeing the writing on it, the Empress's expression changed drastically.
The crown prince was surprised.
"This is the cloud-silk satin that my father gave to my mother back then..."
Those are love poems written by the Emperor to the Empress. Only the Empress possessed them in the entire Great Wei. How did you, Consort Ji, obtain them?
"How am I supposed to get it? Your Highness's question is far too simplistic..."
Consort Ji looked at everyone.
"When I delivered the poisoned food to the Emperor that day, he was holding this handkerchief in his hand."
What does this mean? It means that the Emperor had already discovered that the Empress had poisoned him through the Seventh Prince. Otherwise, why would he have granted the Seventh Prince a pardon?
Isn't it precisely because they're worried that the Seventh Prince will eventually fall victim to the Empress's poison?
As for my final act of poisoning, it was merely because the Empress was worried that the Emperor wouldn't die, so she added fuel to the fire..."
"You're talking nonsense..."
The empress's face flushed red.
"I am the Emperor's first wife, how could I possibly do such a thing!"
Moreover, how could the emperor possibly know that he was going to poison him?
"Mother, you are a bad person! You made me send Father medicinal meals every day, but it turns out you wanted to poison him. You are utterly wicked..."
Hearing Consort Ji's words, the Seventh Prince seemed to realize that he was the one who had harmed his father.
"Alright, the truth has come out."
"Guards, take the Empress, the Crown Prince, and Chen Guojiu to prison and execute them on a chosen day!"
No, you can't do that.
"Lu Hanting, I am the Crown Prince of Great Wei, and my mother is the Empress of Great Wei. You cannot execute us!"
Upon hearing Lu Hanting's order, the Crown Prince's face was filled with fear.
He doesn't want to die!
Seeing her son's cowardly and life-hoarding appearance, the Empress was furious. How could she have given birth to such a good-for-nothing!
"Your Highness, how can you be so spineless? It's just death, what is there to fear!"
"That traitor Lu Hanting, even if he ascends the throne, he will surely be despised by the people. His reign will not last long, hahaha..."
Seeing his mother's frantic state, the crown prince burst into tears.
Crazy, all crazy!
As the Empress and the others were taken away, Wu Weiwei looked at Lu Hanting.
"Wei'er, why are you looking at me like that? Do you regret wanting to become my empress?"
Queen?
Wu Weiwei was so angry at his words that she laughed.
"Young Master Lu, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but if you want to secure your throne, you should think long and hard."
Of course, if you don't care about what others think, you can pretend I didn't say anything...
Traitors and rebels should be punished by everyone.
But since he's the male protagonist of a novel, perhaps there's no need to worry about that!
"Wei'er, are you worried about me?"
Seeing how considerate Wu Weiwei was of him, Lu Hanting moved closer to her, his joy evident on his face.
Wei'er must be afraid of being talked about by the world after becoming his empress, which is why she painstakingly persuaded him!
Looking at the man's eager gaze, Wu Weiwei felt a wave of nausea wash over her.
"vomit……"
Wu Weiwei's vomiting, without fail, all fell on Lu Hanting.
Seeing the filth all over him, Wu Weiwei thought he deserved it; who told him to come over there?
Uh, this smells pretty strong.
Wu Weiwei covered her nose.
"Your Highness, would you like to freshen up first?"
Seeing the prince's ashen face, Ru Feng stepped back a little, afraid that the prince would take his anger out on him.
Suppressing his anger, Lu Hanting gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, Wei'er, I'll listen to you!"
After everyone left, Lingfu stepped forward and said, "My lord, this servant will fetch you a set of clothes."
After changing her clothes, Wanqiu handed Wu Weiwei a sour plum.
"Your Majesty, you... just now, you weren't doing it on purpose, were you?"
Hearing Ling Fu's words, Wu Weiwei glanced at her with a smile.
"What do you say?"
"Lingfu, you've served our monarch for so long, does she seem like that kind of person?"
Lingfu glanced at Wu Weiwei, then looked at Wanqiu.
Something seemed to come to mind.
"Your Majesty, what is this...?"
pregnant?
Lingfu looked at Wanqiu with delight and saw her nod at her.
Wanqiu did not tell Lingfu that Wu Weiwei was pregnant.
Firstly, she was afraid Lingfu would accidentally let it slip, and secondly, she had been too busy lately and had forgotten.
"Hahaha, that's great! Our Qingwu Kingdom has a worthy successor!"
Just as everyone was celebrating, Lu Hanting, who had changed his clothes next door, strode in.
"What successor? Who has a successor?"
"Sir..."
Lingfu covered her mouth, her face pale.
She was so excited that she forgot the prince was changing clothes next door.
"Lingfu, who did you just say had a successor?"
Lu Hanting stepped forward, his voice as cold as hell rang in Ling Fu's ears.
This startled Lingfu so much that her legs began to tremble.
"Your Highness, I was just joking with Wanqiu, I didn't say anything..."
How could she dare to reveal that the monarch was pregnant with Steward Qing's pregnancy? If she did, she feared the prince would break his master's neck.
"you sure?"
Lingfu looked up, her eyes meeting Lu Hanting's sharp gaze.
She couldn't help but shiver.
Even if the prince kills her, she will never reveal Wu Weiwei's secret.
"Your Highness, this servant truly..."
"Lu Hanting, you don't need to threaten Ling Fu. If you really want to know, I'll tell you!"
Lu Hanting turned his gaze to Wu Weiwei.
"Oh, I'd like to hear what you're hiding from me, Vera?"
"Conceal? Your Highness, you've used the wrong word."
I, Wu Weiwei, have absolutely no relation to you, so there's no need to use the word "conceal"!
"Oh, so you're still blaming me for what happened before?"
Even now, Wei'er is still holding a grudge against me.
"I don't blame you, and of course, I don't hold a grudge against anyone..."
Seemingly sensing Lu Hanting's thoughts, Wu Weiwei no longer wanted to give him hope.
She touched her lower abdomen with her hand, her gaze fixed firmly on him.
"Your Highness, I am pregnant with Qingzhu's child! So Lingfu was just saying that our Qingwu Kingdom has a worthy successor!"
