Rong Fei is not honored

Chapter 239 Difficulties for Heirs

And that Imperial Doctor Li was not someone carefully trained by Hesheli. He was probably bribed with a large sum of money, so he would betray himself without hesitation today.

Mama, what a good plan!

If the Queen knew that it was because she said that she wanted to drag the Hesheli family into trouble that the old lady of the Hesheli family was afraid of her crazy granddaughter and did something even more irreparable that she decided to give up the Queen, I wonder if she would regret it.

"Heh." The queen sneered.

I guess Mama didn't expect that the Mama Zheng she sent deliberately was the one to reveal her illness after her last hope, Chenghu, died.

As a result, after losing her prince, Hesheli personally destroyed the queen they disliked. In one day, Hesheli's layout in the palace was almost completely destroyed.

If Mama had not plotted against her, but was truly willing to support her, even if she was just a fallen queen, Hesheli would at least have a chance to make a comeback. If she could give birth to Chenghu, she could give birth to a second prince with Hesheli's bloodline.

Yes, that's right. The queen stood up and paced back and forth. She hadn't lost yet, she still had a chance, as long as she had a prince, she would be fine.

No matter how great the crime was, even if she suffered from hysteria, as long as she gave birth to another prince, the Emperor would let her go for the sake of the prince, or for the sake of the deceased Chenghu.

The Queen knew very well that even though His Majesty had ignored Chenghu in the past, he actually cared very much about this child. This could be seen from His Majesty's reaction when Chenghu fell ill last year.

Even though she and the Emperor had fallen into such a mess, the Emperor still loved Chenghu. So the Empress guessed that the Emperor valued his legitimate son, and even if she, his mother, was holding him back, Chengrui, Chengqing and the likes were far inferior to her own Chenghu.

It was precisely because the Queen understood this that she dragged Chenghu's illness to try to use it as an opportunity to defeat Concubine Hui so that she would never be able to recover.

However, the queen did not expect that Nara would be so lucky.

a month ago

Chenghu is sick again. Even though the queen cares more about the glory and future that Chenghu can bring her, she does not care about her own child at all. After all, he is her biological child.

The queen also consulted the imperial physician privately. Even if Chenghu was weak, had congenital deficiencies, and did not get enough rest in his daily life, he would not have to take medicine for several months and would not be able to withstand the slightest breeze.

Such frequent illnesses showed that there must be something wrong. The queen naturally became suspicious and secretly checked everyone around Chenghu.

As expected, a palace maid was caught. She dared to secretly lift Chenghu's quilt and open the window when she was on duty at night, letting Chenghu blow the cold wind all night long. How could she not get sick?

At that time, the queen wanted to beat the man to death directly, but then she thought that there might be someone behind this, most likely those two bitches. So the queen did not alarm anyone, and even let the palace servant continue to kill Chenghu.

Because the investigation was conducted in private and they did not want to alert the enemy, the progress was very slow. At the beginning, they only found out that the palace maid had a grudge against the queen, apparently because of a fellow villager.

The queen didn't believe that a mere palace maid would dare to harm the prince just because of a personal grudge.

Even if the queen found out that the fellow villager was framed by Madam Zhao and was convicted of hiding the queen's pregnancy and having bad intentions, and was eventually beaten to death, so what? The queen did not think she had done anything wrong, and she did not think that the purge of the palace maids was unjust.

In this case, it is only the palace maid who plotted to murder Chenghu who is hateful, and of course there are also people who instructed her from behind.

Just when the Queen was getting impatient and began to consider whether to use more flexible means and drag Ma Jia and Nara into the water together, the Queen's people found out that this palace maid had a secret contact with Cui Xin of Yanx Palace.

The queen was both happy and regretful. She was happy because her guess was true and she didn't have to risk forging evidence. But she was sorry that this was done by Nara alone and had nothing to do with the one in Zhongcui Palace.

The queen thought for a long time and finally decided to deal with Nara first. As for Majia, there was still a long way to go.

But the queen was afraid that this would not cost Nara's life. After all, Chengqing had actually turned into a corpse. Perhaps the emperor would let Nara go because of Chenghu.

As grateful as the Queen was before, she is now as dissatisfied as the Emperor has given her a light sentence for murdering the royal heir for various reasons.

Of course, the queen would not use Chenghu's life to overthrow Nara. In her heart, Chenghu's value was much more important than a concubine, and Nara was not worthy of being compared with her own Chenghu.

However, the Queen did not intend to miss this good opportunity, and the self-torture trick really worked on His Majesty. So, she tampered with Chenghu's medicine.

The Queen thought that Chenghu was still taking the medicine, but the dosage was halved, so nothing should happen, at most Chenghu's illness would be more serious. But as long as Nara's crimes were exposed to His Majesty, Chenghu's medicine could be exchanged.

However, the queen did not expect that her people had not been caught in the act, and Chenghu's situation was getting worse and worse.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the bitch Nara had unilaterally cut off all contact at some point, and wiped out all traces, leaving no room for anyone to find any evidence.

The Queen looked at the unconscious Chenghu and regretted her decision. She was wrong. She should have reported the matter directly to the Emperor. Now, she could not deal with Nara with just the testimony of a palace maid.

That night, the queen sat there looking at Chenghu all night.

She thought a lot, a lot...

"With Madam Zheng here to help me, Kunning Palace will be safe." The Queen kindly helped Madam Zheng up to express her respect for her.

Nanny Zheng did not comment on this. She had not forgotten what happened to her old sister, Nanny Yan. And how did Nanny Zhao, the wet nurse who was regarded as the Queen's confidant and closest to her, die?

A master like the queen is fine when she is in glory, but once something goes wrong, the servants around her will be abandoned without hesitation. Correspondingly, she will not get the absolute loyalty of the servants, such as Madam Zhao, Madam Yan, and Madam Zheng.

"I have something to report to the Queen."

The Queen understood, and after dismissing everyone, she asked, "But does Mama have anything to tell Fangyi?"

"Does the Queen know that His Majesty intends to depose her?"

"impossible!"

"This is the information that Second Master has obtained through all means. His Majesty has already privately asked several old princes and important officials, but it has not been made public yet."

The Queen calmed herself down and said, "Uncle, did you hear me wrong? Before... His Majesty never punished me severely, let alone deposed me. He even publicly defended me in the court. How could this happen suddenly?"

"The old lady said that perhaps it was because His Majesty had said that publicly that he did not take action immediately after Prince Chengqing passed away, but planned it privately instead."

Madam Zheng glanced at the Queen's pale face and continued, "This is because the families of those important officials also have daughters of marriageable age who have the opportunity to enter the imperial palace, so they paved the way for their daughters in advance, which is why the traces were leaked."

The queen fell down on the chair. How could the emperor treat her like this? How could a deposed queen live? Even if he was willing to spare her life, Hesheli would not allow her family to have such a stain.

Perhaps, she would die suddenly the night before His Majesty issued the decree to depose the Queen. Even if she died, Hesheli would let her die in the position of Queen.

The queen closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had calmed down. "Thank you, Madam, for telling me this news, so that I would not be kept in the dark."

"The old lady said that the situation is not yet desperate, so please make plans early." Of course, what Nanny Zheng didn't say was that the old lady also instructed that if the situation was unavoidable, Hesheli should be protected first.

Hesheli could start over, but she could never die together with a queen who could not be saved.

......

"What did you say? Didn't you say Chenghu's illness wasn't serious?"

"Your Majesty, I said this before, but the prince's health condition has taken a turn for the worse. Even if he is rescued, I'm afraid he will be weak in the future."
