The Dramatic Crown Princess Wants to Poison Me!

Chapter 696: Chapter 695: A Cornered Dog Will Leap Over the Wall?

If this man had even a shred of heart, he wouldn’t treat her like this. This edict must be fake.

However, once the edict was in her hands and those vigorous characters came into view, the Concubine felt faint.

No one was more familiar with Huangfu Yuxuan’s handwriting than she was.

No mistake, every word on it was penned by Huangfu Yuxuan himself.

He once said, when I reach that position, I promise you the most noble status in the world.

He once said, Ah Jing, besides you, no one is fit to stand by my side and share in my glory!

He once said, Ah Jing, this life, one lifetime, one couple, everything you do for me, I will repay you a hundredfold someday!

...

Is this how he repays her a hundredfold? He could deny her the position of Empress, he could break his promises, not being a lifetime one couple, but he actually wanted her dead!

How poisonous his heart is.

After the disbelief, the Concubine suddenly understood.

Indeed, now that the new Emperor is so noble and honored, and during the years she was with him, she had seen all his vile and despicable plots, witnessed all his struggles and humiliations, surviving in the cracks.

Now that he owns the world, how would he be willing to face someone who knows all his disgraceful past?

Only if she were dead could he be as pure as before.

He’s simply a person who can share hardship, but not happiness, a thankless wolf!

But she couldn’t die, if she died, what would happen to her Heng’er? Such a small child without a mother, how could he protect himself in this cold and deep palace?

The Concubine coldly said, ”I want to see the Emperor!”

Even knowing his heartlessness and betrayal, her heart was indignant.

For his survival, he deceived her into yielding herself; for the throne, he used Haotian Village as a stepping stone, her father, her brother, those uncles, all because she chose to marry him, sacrificed their lives for his grand cause.

How could she be willing?

The eunuch sneered lightly and said, ”Mrs. Family, the Emperor will not see you. When passing the decree, the Emperor already said, if you obediently drink this wine, it would preserve your dignity!”

Dignity? He wanted her life, what dignity was left to preserve?

The eunuch continued, ”The Emperor grants you a reunion with your child, it is a great favor, obediently accept the decree!”

The Concubine’s heart sank abruptly, she trembled and said, ”What reunion with my child?”

The eunuch sneered grimly, ”Mrs. Family, Huangfu Heng is already waiting on the road to the Yellow Springs, why delay?”

With a thunderous roar, like a bolt from the blue, the Concubine was stunned, deafened, she stared fiercely at the eunuch, her lips trembling, words incoherent, ”You...you say what? Even a tiger won’t eat its cub, he...he wouldn’t...”

The eunuch impatiently said, ”Mrs. Family, how could the Emperor want a son born of a mountain bandit’s daughter? Keep him to avenge his mother in the future? The Emperor has newly established an Empress, there will naturally be legitimate sons in future, Huangfu Heng cannot live, what for, to celebrate the New Year?”

Seeing her reluctant to drink the poisoned wine, the decree-passing eunuch signaled with his eyes, and then three little eunuchs came forward to coerce her. Although the Concubine was skilled in martial arts, she didn’t believe it, she wanted to see Heng’er. But when she knocked one down and rushed out of the hall, she realized there was an expert among them, and quickly, she was overpowered.

Her eyes were wide with rage, yet now, she was a fish on the chopping board, she could do nothing.

The decree-passing eunuch smirked disdainfully, holding the poisoned wine, stepped closer cruelly and poured the entire cup into her mouth.

She struggled desperately, but was forced to swallow the poisoned wine.

The decree-passing eunuch tossed the cup away, led people away without looking back.

In the entire Cuiyu Palace, there weren’t many servants to begin with, now scattered, leaving the large palace with only her lying alone on the ground.

Her belly started to cramp, she had given everything for him, now, dying in this cold Imperial Palace, without even someone to collect her body. And her Heng’er, he was only four years old, it was said it was to prevent Heng’er from growing up to avenge his mother, but actually it was because the new Empress’s family was powerful, wouldn’t allow Huangfu Yuxuan to have an eldest son. That was the real reason for that villain’s actions. In the face of imperial power, he was no longer human.

Hatred filled her eyes, she desperately knocked over the candlestick, the spilled candle fire licked the curtain, engulfing her in fierce flames, the pain of the fire consuming her indescribable, yet she felt no pain, only tears of blood flowing, amid the burning hatred, she swore through gritted teeth, ”If there is a next life, Huangfu Yuxuan, I will use all my strength to make your life worse than death!”

Throughout the process, Xia Wenjin felt like a wandering soul, clearly involved, clearly being that person, yet now, she was but a spectator, just watching without expression.

She saw the day she died in her past life, those things she had truly experienced.

Hearing the death decree, her disbelief, hearing about her son’s death, her despair and pain, swallowing the poisoned wine, her overwhelming hatred...

She once had a son, but for his career, she fought battles for him, her son barely recognized her.

Most painful was dragging the entire Haotian Village into the water, with no one meeting a good end!

For him, she was no longer herself, but in the end, all she got was a cup of poisoned wine.

The Concubine, was her, yet not her!

All past events, like a death yesterday, now she was still Xia Wenjin of Haotian Village, not anyone’s appendage.

What had flooded her mind in the past life would not appear in this one! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

But where was she now?

Why was her head so dizzy, her whole body felt light and floaty?

In the dream, she floated and sunk, that pain, despair, and hatred also floated and sunk in her mind. She didn’t know how much time passed before she laboriously opened her eyes.

This was a room draped with light gauze, a carved bed, the room was filled with incense, exuding exquisite luxury, and comfort.

She recalled the moment before she passed out, Pu Yangji?

Huangfu Yuxuan?

She was shocked, though weak, she didn’t know where the strength came from, she suddenly sat up.

She checked herself, luckily, it was just the lingering effect of the drug, her body hadn’t changed. She sighed with relief but cursed herself for being too careless.

When entering the courtyard, she knew someone was lying in wait, never expected it was Huangfu Yuxuan’s men, thinking it was rivals jealous of Yunhua Trading Company’s rapid rise, sending assassins to eliminate her.

This information was relayed by Xue Niang.

Because Yunhua Trading Company stood out in competition, someone spent thirty thousand taels hiring Wansha Alliance’s assassins to act. She knew all the weaknesses of Wansha Alliance’s killers, they couldn’t harm her.

Who knew Huangfu Yuxuan’s men would arrive just in time, causing her misjudgment.

She had an ominous feeling.

From her understanding of Huangfu Yuxuan in the past life, this person was deeply scheming and skilled at hiding it, just for a woman, he wouldn’t expose his forces.

But Huangfu Yuxuan did just that, what would have driven him to act so desperately?
