Chapter 123 The End
Wei Fuxue's arrival naturally aroused the curiosity of other people in the Eastern Palace, and they all went to test him under various pretexts.
However, no one could see the new "Wei".
Even the other palace servants outside the Qingque Palace had never seen Wei's true appearance.
Within two days, all kinds of speculations and rumors spread.
Some said that Wei was of low status and was not liked by His Highness, while others said that Wei was ugly and had no face, so she did not dare to see anyone.
The latter is more believable.
Even Zhu Yan came over to whisper to Jiang Wanyue.
"Who is this Wei? She was said to be a maid in the palace, but why don't I remember such a person? And she was brought into the East Palace only because she was pregnant. Could it be that Wei has plotted against Your Highness?"
Jiang Wanyue thought, you guessed half right.
She looked embarrassed.
"His Highness only told me to take good care of her, but he didn't tell me her identity. But no matter what her identity was before, now that she has entered the East Palace, she only has this one identity now."
Zhu Yan patted the back of Jiang Wanyue's hand.
"Your Highness is too difficult. If it were me, I would not be able to be as calm as you and choose palace maids and arrange accommodation for her! Although the Qingque Palace is a bit remote, she lives in the whole palace alone. No wonder others are angry."
Jiang Wanyue raised her hand and lifted her hair.
"There's nothing we can do about it. She's pregnant, and it's been difficult. She's been vomiting and can't eat. If someone lives with her, what if something happens to the child? Wouldn't that implicate others? So we just let her live alone."
Zhu Yan agreed: "You are very thoughtful."
She paused and spoke in a probing tone.
"Is her pregnancy really that bad? Can she give birth smoothly?"
Jiang Wanyue lowered her eyes.
"Doctor Zeng checked it out and said it was extremely dangerous. It was impossible to give birth to a full-term baby. He could only try his best to keep the baby alive as long as possible."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yan was obviously relieved and looked a lot more relaxed.
"Your Highness knows, right? Doctor Zeng has said so. I think even if the child is not saved in the future, His Highness will not blame you."
Jiang Wanyue sighed.
"hope so!"
The two talked for a while before Zhu Yan got up and left.
After leaving Yichun Palace, Zhu Yan told He Yu and the others: "Stay away from Qingque Palace in the future, and don't send anyone to inquire about it, so that if there is any problem with the child, Wei Shi will not blame us."
He Yu nodded and took half a step forward.
"Don't worry! The status of Wei is not as high as yours. Even if she gives birth to a son, he will not be favored by His Highness and will not surpass the young master."
Zhu Yan nodded slightly and then sighed.
"I don't expect Qi'er to be successful. I just want him to grow up safely and become a rich prince in the future. Your Highness already has an eldest son, and he will definitely be asked to take on important responsibilities in the future."
He Yu's eyes flashed.
She didn't think the eldest son could make it to the end.
Although the eldest son is the eldest son, His Highness obviously prefers the fourth son born to Jiang Liangdi. The Crown Princess is like this now, maybe she will be abandoned in the future! The Lu family is not allowed to use her, and it is estimated that they can't help much. Besides, His Highness is still young, and the future is uncertain.
However, no matter how they fight, it has nothing to do with their young master.
He Yu didn't say what was in his mind.
The group walked west for a while and saw Yi Qiu Palace just ahead when they suddenly heard a scream.
The cry was filled with panic, fear, and collapse.
He Yu subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.
Cheng'en Hall.
Zhu Yan also turned his head and looked over there.
"How many times has this happened?"
He Yu replied: "I can't count them all. Since the Chinese New Year, all kinds of shouting and sometimes cursing can be heard in the palace every day. Everyone says that the Crown Princess... is crazy."
Zhu Yan sneered.
"She has also come to this day!"
"She is still the Crown Princess after all, Master, it is best to be careful."
He Yu gave a reminder, then quickened his pace and walked away with Zhu Yan.
At this time, in Cheng'en Hall, Lu Qingshuang was exhausted after smashing the newly delivered flower pots.
She squatted in the corner, looking at every dark corner in the room with horror.
The sunlight filtered in through the cracks, lengthening the shadows.
The mottled shadows of the trees outside the house fell on the windows, and when the wind blew, the shadows of the trees floated with them.
"Ghost...ghost...don't eat me..."
Lu Qingshuang's voice was trembling.
She didn't dare close her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could always hear all kinds of strange noises, especially at night. The noises were like ghosts crying, shouting for her life.
She didn't dare eat either.
I always suspect that the food has been drugged.
She knew that there were not only ghosts but also people in the East Palace who wanted to kill her.
Yeer...Yuer...
She opened her mouth and silently called the names of the two children.
Why don't you come to rescue me?
Night fell gradually and the room soon became dark.
The wind was howling outside the house, like sobbing and crying.
She was completely mentally broken and she hugged her knees and started crying.
Because of her recent crazy behavior, the palace guards outside did not dare to approach her and stayed far away.
Late at night, Cui'er brought a jar of wine to the palace servants.
"Although it's spring, it's still quite cold at night. You guys should drink some wine to warm yourself up."
Everyone thanked him and shared the wine jars with laughter.
Before long, the group was staggering and drunk.
Cui'er clapped her hands, turned and walked into the hall.
The door opened silently, and Cui'er, holding a candle, walked through the debris on the ground and stepped into the inner room.
"Princess?"
She called out, and then heard a noise coming from the corner behind the bed.
Cui'er walked forward and saw Lu Qingshuang.
She squatted down and reached out to pat Lu Qingshuang's face.
Suddenly, he grabbed Lu Qingshuang's arm, swung it hard, and threw her to the ground.
Lu Qingshuang fell onto the broken porcelain pieces.
The tiny fragments pierced into her flesh, and the sudden pain made Lu Qingshuang sober up for a moment.
"How dare you! How dare you do this to me, you slut?"
She was so shocked and angry that she wanted to get up, but she had no strength left after not eating for several days and could not get up at all.
Cui'er stood up suddenly and put one foot on Lu Qingshuang's hand.
Lu Qingshuang screamed in pain.
"What are you going to do?!"
Cui'er leaned over and handed the candle forward. Seeing Lu Qingshuang's painful expression, she felt extremely relieved.
But this is not enough.
She had lived long enough.
Cui'er curled the corners of her mouth and her voice was cold.
"Crown Princess, are you still thinking that your two children will come to save you? Don't be so wishful thinking. The eldest son and the princess have long forgotten you. They don't even want to acknowledge you as their mother. I heard with my own ears that the eldest son said that he was ashamed of you. He said that your existence made him lose the favor of His Highness and embarrassed him in the East Palace. He has not been given a title yet."
Lu Qingshuang was trembling all over.
"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"
"How could I lie to you?" Cui'er smiled coldly, "Not only the two young masters, but the Lu family has also given up on you. I heard that they are selecting women of the right age to send to the East Palace."
Lu Qingshuang suddenly raised her head, her eyes full of bloodshot.
"I'm still alive, how could the Lu family choose another person to send in?!"
"Oh? Do you really think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will let you live in peace?" Cui'er covered her mouth and giggled, "You don't know yet, do you? The Crown Prince is already looking for a new Crown Princess. Once he chooses one, he will ask for permission to depose you."
Lu Qingshuang's body stiffened.
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
She shook her head and kept repeating this sentence.
Cui'er placed the candle in her hand on the flower table at the end of the bed and touched the bed curtain.
"While you are still the Crown Princess, enjoy your last moments!"
After saying this last sentence, Cui'er turned and left.
She walked quickly down the steps and returned to her residence.
The two palace maids who lived with her also drank and were now sleeping soundly.
Cui'er climbed onto her bed, took out two things from the bedside table and placed them under her pillow.
She lay down, closed her eyes, a satisfied smile on her lips.
Inside the palace, Lu Qingshuang, who was covered in wounds, was still repeating "Impossible" and "I am the Crown Princess".
She was in a daze, and after much effort, she finally managed to get up.
But as soon as he stood up, his vision suddenly went dark, his body swayed, and he almost fell down again.
In a hurry, she grabbed the bed curtain, but also knocked over the flower table.
The burning candle fell down.
In an instant, the fire ignited the bed curtains and spread to the top of the bed and the bedding.
Lu Qingshuang was terrified and stepped back in fear.
"Come... people..."
She wanted to call for help, but her voice was hoarse and she had no strength, so her shouting could not be heard outside.
At this moment, the room turned into a cage of fire, trapping her inside.
To be exact, she was trapped inside.
