Quan Jiuzhou fell heavily. Chu Mingxuan held his stomach, the veins on his forehead bulging.
Perhaps because he knew that he was about to die, he suddenly became bolder. He pointed at Emperor Ling Hui and called him by his name. “Chu Shixiong, you’re an ungrateful dog. You’ve wasted my mother’s life and my grandfather and the others’ efforts to help you, but you’ve humiliated us to this extent!”
The ministers were so frightened that they wished their ears had never grown out.
Emperor Ling Hui’s sharp eyebrows raised slightly, and his cold aura suddenly erupted. “Humiliate? You still have the shame to mention this in front of me!”
“If I hadn’t been prepared, 1 would have been killed by your Quan family!”
Chu Mingxuan roared ferociously, “I’m your son. Why should you look at him differently? Since I was young, how am 1 inferior to him?”
Chu Shixiong suddenly chuckled and knocked over the table, scaring the minister so much that he fell to the ground.
“Because you have a mother who gave me poison to become infertile!”
“Your Quan family is overly ambitious. You only have yourself to blame!”
Chu Mingxuan suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief. How did Chu Shixiong know?
Chu Shixiong had clearly taken this medicine for many years.
Moreover, this medicine would not be easily detected.
It would only make people think that Chu Shixiong had a problem.
He wanted to ask Chu Shixiong when he found out, or if he had known from the beginning, and all these years, he had been pretending to be nice to him.
The effects of the poison swept through his body again. He opened his mouth, but all he spat out was thick blood.
When the court officials saw Chu Mingxuan’s expression just now, they knew that he knew that Chu Shixiong had taken the infertility posion.
No wonder Chu Shixiong was in his prime years but could not bear any child.
It turned out that Quan Qiaohong had fed him infertility poison.
Quan Qiaohong was really ruthless! She directly eliminated the threat from the root.
However, they missed Chu Tianbao.
It was unknown what Chu Shixiong had arranged for a prince to become Gu Chilie’s child. His child had experienced many battles, the emperor was really willing to nurture him.
When the ministers thought of this, they suddenly understood.
Chu Mingxuan had been abandoned by Emperor Ling Hui from the beginning.
Chu Tianbao was the heir he had painstakingly nurtured.
Suddenly, Quan Qiaorong’s crazy shout came from outside. “Chu Shixiong! I’m going to kill you! I’m going to kill you!”
The minister secretly glanced at Chu Shixiong’s expression. Chu Shixiong raised his hand high and asked someone to bring Quan Qiaorong in.
The once high and mighty Consort Chu had messy hair. When she saw Chu Mingxuan lying on the ground, she screamed miserably and rushed towards Chu Shixiong without care. “I want to kill you!”
“Whoosh ~”
Before Quan Qiaorong could approach Chu Shixiong, an arrow pierced through her chest.
She looked at Chu Shixiong fiercely. After she fell to the ground, she said with all her might, “I regret marrying you the most in my life!”
Quan Qiaorong lowered her head weakly. Her slightly parted lips seemed unable to take her last breath.
A strong coldness flashed across Chu Shixiong’s eyes.
If she hadn’t insisted on marrying him back then, he wouldn’t have separated from his wife!
Chu Shixiong hated her as much as Quan Qiaorong hated him.
The banquet ended in a rebellion.
While the ministers were feeling uneasy, Chu Shixiong smiled as if nothing had happened. “My son was continuously a.s.sa.s.sinated back then. For his safety, I handed him over to General Gu to raise as an adopted son. Now that he has grown up, it’s time for him to reveal his ident.i.ty to the world.”
Prime Minister Yu was extremely tactful and immediately knelt down. “The Eldest Prince is a genius and has made many extraordinary contributions. The people favor him.. Please issue a decree for the Eastern Palace!”
