Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Empress Commits Numerous Evils, This is Your Retribution

Chen Shi had foreseen this day coming and did not look very surprised. He knelt on the ground and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the Empress has a poisonous insect in her womb."

His words were too plain, yet the contents were shockingly extraordinary. For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Even Li Huaixi was stunned; he did not react as strongly as he had initially.

Li Tianze snorted coldly and continued to question, "If you have known about this for so long, why mention it only now?"

Chen Shi remained silent for a long while before slowly saying, "I admit my guilt." fгeewebnovёl.com

He did not offer a single excuse for himself; although it was an unintentional mistake at first, he indeed harbored different intentions.

Therefore, he willingly accepted his guilt.

Li Tianze’s gaze grew darker as he scrutinized him, then finally, he commanded, "Take him away and lock him in the Imperial Prison!"

Soon, someone took Chen Shi away, while Qi Yu silently watched the scene unfold, her expression becoming somewhat faint.

Her feelings towards Chen Shi were complicated.

Without a doubt, she felt sympathy for Chen Shi as a person and for what he endured.

However, he ultimately chose a wrong path that not only harmed the Empress but also himself.

She sighed softly, thinking that once she returned to the Prince Residence, she would discuss with the Prince how they might save this man.

In her view, Chen Shi’s crimes did not warrant death.

The hall was completely silent; nobody dared to make a sound.

Li Huaixi watched as the Imperial Physician who usually checked her mother’s health was dragged away, and she was utterly dumbfounded.

Her mind buzzed, her expression showing more bewilderment than shock.

So, what Mo Qingshan said was true? What her mother carried was not a baby but a poisonous insect?

This farce left Li Tianze weary in both body and spirit; he slightly turned his head to look at the Empress laying on the bed, feigning unconsciousness, his eyes cold and sharp.

Although he had never felt deep affection for the Empress, marrying her was only because it was the Empress Dowager’s wish.

Moreover, the Grandmaster truly shared a teacher-student bond with him.

But he never intended to depose the Empress, and had always treated her with respect.

Yet, he had not expected that the Empress would dare to do so many horrifying deeds behind his back.

In the past few days, the Hidden Guard had thoroughly investigated the deeds of the Empress over the years, finding countless charges so numerous they were hard to document.

Any of those charges alone would be enough to have the Liu Family exterminated.

He withdrew his gaze from the Empress and said indifferently, "Issue my decree, send the Empress to the Cold Palace immediately."

Zhou Fu had been keeping his head low; hearing this, he softly responded, "Yes."

Li Huaixi could not believe what she was hearing; she rushed in front of Li Tianze, her eyes brimming with tears, and questioned, "Father, are you truly sending Mother to the Cold Palace?"

Li Tianze glanced at her and commanded coldly, "Someone take the Princess back to the palace and guard her well. Without my decree, she is not to leave!"

"Father!" Palace Attendants had already come to take Li Huaixi away, and she struggled desperately, but to no avail, she could only shout loudly, "Father, you cannot treat Mother and me this way!"

This time, the usually affectionate Li Tianze looked indifferent. He merely glanced up slightly, signaling the Palace Attendants.

The attendants comprehended immediately and reached out to gag Li Huaixi.

Qi Yu, witnessing this scene, felt somewhat disconsolate.

Indeed, the Royal Family only valued interests, lacking any true parental affection.

After Li Huaixi was dragged away, Li Tianze also left with a frosty expression, without ever glancing in Qi Yu’s direction.

Once everyone had left, Qi Yu tossed aside the melon seeds in her hand, dusted off her hands, and slowly got up.

But she didn’t rush to leave, instead, she walked over to the Empress’s bed.

The Empress, upon hearing that she was to be sent to the Cold Palace, could no longer keep up her façade.

Her eyes wide with an unwilling gaze, she clenched her fists tightly.

Seeing Qi Yu, she glared furiously, straightened up, and shouting angrily said, "Bitch, get out of my sight!"

Immediately, Palace Attendants came forward to take her away, but Qi Yu stopped them with her hand.

She smiled slightly and said to the hysterical Empress, "Empress, you have committed many evils, this is your retribution."

Each word stabbed at the heart of the Empress, making her blood run cold and her eyes stare with raging fury.

Qi Yu leaned forward slightly and suddenly grasped her cheek, applied more pressure, and forced her mouth open.

Then, amidst the Empress’s violent struggles, she quickly and ruthlessly poured the Flowers Powder she had previously taken out from her space.

She used her other hand to stop the Empress’s struggles, and at the same time, quickly said to the stunned Palace Attendants nearby, "Fetch a glass of water!"

Hearing the command, a Palace Attendant tremblingly poured a glass of tea from the teapot and handed it to her.

Qi Yu took it, poured the tea into the Empress’s mouth, and watched as the Flowers Powder dissolved before she finally released her grip on her cheeks.

The Empress, finally free from her restraint, hurriedly stretched two fingers towards her throat trying to eject the substance she had been forced to swallow.

Qi Yu watched her actions with an amused smile and said, "Princess, you might as well save your energy. What I just fed you is a deadly poison from Tulan, known as Flowers Powder."

Facing the Empress’s rage-fractured expression, she continued, "As the princess who expertly uses poison, you must be familiar with the name Flowers Powder, aren’t you?"

The Empress trembled all over, tears streaming down her face, looking utterly devastated.

How could she not know what Flowers Powder was? It is the deadliest of Tulan’s poisons. Even a small amount could cause excruciating pain and unbearable suffering.

"You... you bitch!" The Empress’s eyes filled with hatred as she looked at Qi Yu, wanting nothing more than to lunge at her and strangle her.

But she dared not make any movements, because she knew that the effect of the Flowers Powder was instantaneous, and once it took effect, her internal organs would throb with intense pain until she died exhausted.

Qi Yu watched her wanting to kill her but unable to do so, and slowly curved her lips into a smile.

It must be said, this feeling was quite satisfying.

The Palace Attendants nearby all trembled with shock; they hadn’t expected the Princess from Prince Residence to boldly poison the Empress in public.

And among them, the Imperial Physicians reacted most vehemently.

Lou Qingming frowned slightly, just about to say something, when Mo Qingshan turned around and told them, "The Flowers Powder can eliminate the poisonous insect in the Empress’s stomach; there’s no need for concern."

In reality, he had figured this out on his own.

Because Qi Yu hadn’t discussed it with him, and while everyone was still in shock, she had poured the Flowers Powder into the Empress’s mouth.

Thinking about this, he frowned with dissatisfaction at Qi Yu.

If he hadn’t been there, she would have found it hard to explain herself even with ten mouths.

Though Lou Qingming was half-convinced, seeing the Empress’s complexion looking rosy without signs of poisoning, he reluctantly accepted this explanation.

However, one thing still troubled him.

He looked at Qi Yu with a sharp expression and asked, "Why does the Princess from Prince Residence have Flowers Powder on her?"
