I took over after the heroine of the abusive novel ran away

Chapter 136 I Want to Be the Queen Mother (29)

Fang Qingci looked outside the hall and saw a young eunuch running in in a panic and kneeling to salute.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen!"

Fang Qingci put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at Fang Ruoyan who was pretending to faint.

"What's all the fuss?"

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened. The Emperor suddenly vomited blood and fainted while leaving the court. He is now in a coma."

As soon as the young eunuch finished speaking, Fang Ruoyan, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, immediately opened her eyes. She struggled to stand up, her voice trembling, "What? How is the emperor?"

The young eunuch lowered his head and said nothing. He was the Queen's man, and it seemed that the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Queen was not good. He didn't dare to answer the Imperial Concubine's questions until the Queen spoke.

Fang Qingci signaled the young eunuch, "Go ahead!"

"Replying to the Queen, all the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are treating the Emperor. I heard that his condition is critical and may not be very good."

"No, how is that possible?" Fang Ruoyan shook her head in disbelief.

Suddenly she thought of something and turned her head to look at Fang Qingci.

Facing Fang Qingci's calm eyes, she suddenly had a terrible guess in her mind.

Why is Fang Qingci so calm? Could it be that all this was arranged by her? Fang Qingci wants to rebel.

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Ruoyan was so frightened that her blood rushed to her head and she fell to the ground with a thud. This time she really fainted.

Fang Qingci sneered. That was all the courage he had.

Then he ordered He Yue to "Send it back!"

He Yue said respectfully, "Yes."

As a virtuous queen, she would naturally go and take a look when encountering such a situation. After dragging Fang Ruoyan out, Fang Qingci stood up and said, "Let's go!"

When Fang Qingci and his men hurried to Qin Yu's palace, a group of ministers were standing guard outside, pacing back and forth with anxious looks.

Fang Qingci raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, which were instantly filled with tears. Then he walked inside in panic.

The bright yellow bed curtains covered the dragon bed tightly, and a group of imperial doctors were busy around the bed with frowns on their faces.

In addition to the imperial physician, Prince An and Prince Duan were also guarding the palace.

Seeing Fang Qingci come in, Qin Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded at her calmly.

"Royal sister-in-law!"

Fang Qingci wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and looked inside with concern. "Your Highness Prince Duan, how is His Majesty?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. The imperial physician is treating the patient. The palace physician is very skilled. Your brother will be safe." Qin Heng said this in a serious manner.

Fang Qingci sighed, his tone full of worry, "The Emperor has always been in good health, how could he suddenly... What should I do!"

Prince An looked at Fang Qingci's performance with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

When Prince An heard that Qin Yu was in trouble, he first suspected Fang Qingci.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to Fang Qingci for cooperation and Fang Qingci said he would poison Qin Yu to death.

In the past, he only thought Fang Qingci was impulsive and stupid.

But after what happened last time, Prince An no longer dared to look down on this woman.

He thought that he had suffered a severe setback because he had not taken Fang Qingci seriously at the beginning.

As it was approaching dusk, Qin Yu's condition finally stabilized, but he was still not awake.

Fang Qingci asked the imperial physician who came out to answer the question with concern, "When will the emperor wake up?"

The head of the Imperial Hospital knelt on the ground tremblingly, his tone filled with sadness, "Replying to the Queen, the Emperor's body has been accumulating toxins for a long time. Now it has erupted in one day, and it is so fierce that we are really helpless. The Emperor may wake up in a while, or he may not wake up. We are really unable to guarantee it."

Fang Qingci immediately grasped the point and asked in shock, "What, the emperor was poisoned, where did the poison come from?"

Upon hearing that Qin Yu was poisoned, Prince An looked at Fang Qingci with more suspicion.

"According to our diagnosis, this is a kind of love poison, it is... it is..." The old doctor hesitated to speak, looking as if he was too embarrassed to speak.

"Just tell me what it is, don't be so hesitant." Qin Heng urged impatiently, frowning.

The imperial physician lowered his head and said in a difficult tone, "This poison is...contaminated through sexual intercourse between men and women, and it should not have been more than a month."

Prince An's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly looked up at Fang Qingci.

Fang Qingci was very shocked. "For a month, the emperor didn't enter the harem, nor did he summon concubines to sleep with him, except... except..."

Fang Qingci turned his gaze to Prince An, "Except for Consort Xuan, whom the Emperor brought back from the common people."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers guarding the palace looked at Prince An with suspicion.

Concubine Xuan, isn’t that the one that the Emperor snatched back from Prince An’s Mansion?

Could it be Prince An?

King An: It’s really a huge black pot falling from the sky.

Prince An gritted his teeth. He was certain that Qin Yu's poisoning was definitely caused by Fang Qingci.

Murdering His Majesty was no small matter, and Fang Ruoyan was directly thrown into prison for interrogation.

To be fair, this matter was handed over to Prince Duan.

Prince Duan is the emperor's confidant and has always been cold and selfless, so everyone feels relieved.

Under Qin Heng's deliberate guidance, Fang Ruoyan confessed that Prince An intended to confuse the bloodline, but she said she was unaware of the poisoning, and it might have been done by Prince An.

So Qin Heng took his men to temporarily detain Prince An in prison and keep Fang Ruoyan company.

Although Prince An knew that Fang Qingci had framed him for all this, he had no evidence.

He tried hard to persuade Qin Heng, but no matter how eloquent he was, Qin Heng acted impartial and stubbornly asked him to hand over evidence to prove his innocence.

Prince An was so angry at this blockhead that he almost died.

In the end, Prince An had no choice but to push everything onto Fang Ruoyan in order to escape punishment.

Prince An said that Fang Ruoyan poisoned Qin Yu because she was unwilling to endure the humiliation of being taken away.

The two of them were fighting each other in prison, it was quite exciting.

It was at this time that Princess An came to the palace with evidence, proving that Prince An was unwilling to be cuckolded and used Fang Ruoyan to murder the Emperor. She then killed Prince An for the sake of justice.

Inside the prison.

Prince An looked in disbelief at Princess An who came to see him.

"Why did you do this? What benefit did the Queen give you to make you betray me?"

Prince An really couldn't understand why Princess An would help Fang Qingci deal with him, since they were clearly husband and wife.

Faced with Prince An's questioning, Princess An suddenly found it a little ridiculous.

"Why? Your Majesty, you don't know?"

Prince An really didn't understand, and he thought Princess An must be crazy.
