Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Poisoning

Prince Min Mansion.

The Princess of Prince Min pursed her lips, her face somber as she listened to Princess Consort Ji’s reprimand.

"I will advocate for King Xin to remove you from the Xia family register. From now on, you are only a daughter-in-law of the Chu Family. You’d better forget your own origin and be resolute in living with Ze’er. It would be best if you could give birth to a legitimate son in one try," Princess Consort Ji glanced at her and said, "Of course, letting you bear a legitimate son does not mean I am fond of you; it’s a helpless move. As you heard, your marriage to Ze’er is indestructible, and you are a woman of the Chu Family."

As Princess Consort Ji finished speaking, her face was full of resentment, and her wrinkled face looked somewhat ghastly and twisted.

It’s indeed ominous!

The Princess of Prince Min raised her head and said, "Imperial Concubine, you are wishful thinking, but have you considered whether the Prince will comply with your wishes?"

"What do you mean by this?" Princess Consort Ji glared.

The Princess of Prince Min spoke calmly, "You know well, if the Prince is willing to follow your wishes, would he treat you so coldly?"

Princess Consort Ji’s face turned pale, and she shouted sharply, "Shut up." She stood up, pointing at the Princess of Prince Min, "What are you to dare to point fingers at me? If it weren’t for your Xia family’s misdeeds, my relationship with Ze’er wouldn’t be so estranged. Your Xia family deserves a thousand cuts and should be condemned to the eighteenth level of hell, never to reincarnate."

The Princess of Prince Min lowered her head in silence.

Princess Consort Ji, gasping for breath, said, "Get out, you just need to follow my instructions, the rest is not for you to worry about."

The Princess of Prince Min furrowed her brows.

"Hurry and leave."

The Princess of Prince Min bowed and retreated.

Princess Consort Ji was furious to death. After the anger, she felt a bit helpless, and couldn’t help but wipe the corner of her eye. With a bite of her silver teeth, even if it means being a sinner, she must do it.

"Someone, summon Lady Shang and Akul here."

...

At night, Chu Ze clasped his hands behind his back, gazing at the crescent moon in silence.

"My lord, it’s time for your medicine," Lady Shang came forward with the medicine, "This is the last dose. Akul said once you finish this, tomorrow you can start the medicinal bath to expel the poison."

Trusting without suspicion, Chu Ze took it and drank it, placing the bowl on the table, "Soon it will be the full moon, right? This month’s full moon is Mid-Autumn Festival, I wonder if we will see it then."

Lady Shang looked at the bowl, her eyes a bit dark, yet she smiled and said, "Rest assured, you will make it through."

"Surviving it this time, how many more years can this body endure? It’s nothing but struggling on," Chu Ze said faintly.

Lady Shang lowered her eyes, "With careful nursing, my lord will slowly recover and in the future, have many descendants."

Chu Ze narrowed his eyes, turning his head to look at her, "What did the Imperial Concubine summon you for today? Why did she enter the palace?"

Lady Shang said, "Her Ladyship entered the palace to plead with the Empress Dowager for mercy."

What does this mean?

Chu Ze furrowed his eyebrows, just about to speak, when he suddenly felt something strange in his body, and his expression changed: "You..." He stepped back two steps, looking at the bowl of medicine on the table, and shouted, "What did you put in the medicine? Lady Shang, how dare you!"

Lady Shang showed a bitter smile on her face, slowly kneeling down, "Lady Shang wishes for you to have many offspring."

Chu Ze was extremely ashamed and angry, his eyes glaring at her as if he wanted to devour her.

Lady Shang stood up, clapped her hands, and two strong guards came in and carried Chu Ze away.

She watched Chu Ze being taken away, their eyes meeting, as she saw the anger in his eyes, a tear slid down from the corner of her eye.
