Chapter 662: Ji Fengwu is Poisoned
Although Xiao Qiyue's identity is complicated, no one dares to touch her because she has the support of the Queen Mother and the Regent.
Ever since the empress dowager found her daughter, she has been eager to choose a concubine for her. After all, Xiao Qiyue is not young anymore, and many women her age have already married and had children. What's more, Xiao Qiyue is the crown prince. It is a shame that a crown prince does not even have a concubine yet.
However, Xiao Qiyue already had someone in her heart and could not possibly accept her biological mother's arrangement. She stood her up several times, which made the empress dowager very angry.
Situ Lan is the son of Prime Minister Situ's family. He has liked the princess since he was a child. When he heard that the Queen Mother was interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Prime Minister's family, Situ Lan was particularly happy.
Although Xiao Qiyue did not acknowledge this marriage, Situ Lan always regarded himself as the princess's fiancé and secretly suppressed other men who coveted his future wife.
Upon learning that the princess brought back a man, Situ Lan was furious and came to the door angrily. He first belittled Bai Fuling and told Bai Fuling to leave the princess tactfully, otherwise she would be blamed for being rude.
When Xiao Qiyue came back and learned about this, she was naturally annoyed and drove Situ Lan out.
As for Bai Fuling, she didn't stay long. Since he didn't want to go back to his aunt's house, she went to find his sister.
Bai Fuling's lost sister is none other than the upstart General Bai Mengying, who was originally a capable general under the Regent.
Now that her sister had been found, Bai Fuling naturally had no reason to stay in the mansion, so she packed up her things and returned to the general's mansion.
Situ Lan was furious when he learned that Bai Fuling was the son of the general's mansion and not an orphan who could be sent away at will.
Xiao Qiyue was annoyed by the fight between Situ Lan and Bai Fuling, and in order to avoid the Queen Mother's arranged marriage, she hid in a temple, where she stayed for three years.
During these three years, not only was the Liao Kingdom in turmoil, but the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was also facing internal and external troubles.
Since Ji Fengwu ascended the throne, he changed his previous gentle image and became sensitive, suspicious, self-willed, and extravagant.
The selection period of three years was changed to one year. It was said that there was a Lord Zhao who was very favored. For him, Ji Fengwu even ordered people to supervise the construction of the Ascension Pavilion. It seemed that she no longer had any major concerns, and she acted more and more unscrupulously.
It is said that Feng Jun Changsun Wuyou once accidentally bumped into the emperor's favorite king, Yao Huang Guijun, and then accidentally fell into the water and was diagnosed as pregnant. Everyone thought that Ji Fengwu would punish Yao Huang Guijun, but unexpectedly, Ji Fengwu just took it lightly and just deducted some silver.
Many ministers wrote letters to impeach the Demon Emperor and requested Ji Fengwu to execute the Demon Concubine.
However, Yao Guijun was the favorite of the late emperor and had done nothing wrong, so it was not easy to find a crime to punish him. Even the Grand Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were helpless against him.
Later, envoys from Northern Qiang arrived, expressing their intention to form a marriage alliance.
Everyone drank happily at the banquet, and it was also at this banquet that Ji Fengwu left early due to being too drunk and discovered her servant's affair!
It turned out that Yu Shijun couldn't stand the loneliness and had an affair with a female guard, but was caught by Ji Fengwu, and she also learned a shocking secret.
I was poisoned!
Poisoned by the bitch Xilingyu and his lover, not only is she unable to have children anymore, she doesn't even know how many days she can live.
Can a female emperor who cannot have children and is dying still sit firmly on the throne?
The throne that I worked so hard to obtain is now going to be handed over to someone else. The thought of it makes me go crazy.
Ji Fengwu immediately became furious and executed all the people who knew about the situation. She also arrested Xiling Yu and forced him to reveal the antidote.
Unfortunately, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon this royal scandal became a hot topic.
Ji Fengwu wanted to execute Xiling Yu but encountered opposition from the ministers. Xiling Yu was related to West Shu. What if West Shu was angry and sent troops...
But Ji Fengwu was still furious, and eventually Xilingyu was banished to the cold palace, and his lover was executed by slow slicing.
When Xishu learned about the stupid thing Xilingyu had done, they were also angry. Since the fault was Xilingyu's, Xishu didn't bother to make trouble and finally sent another prince to marry. They didn't care about Xilingyu's life or death.
