Chapter 295: Killing Two Birds with One Arrow
"As for Bei Chu..."
Song Yunxi shrugged: "Since the Second Prince of Beichu dared to join forces with the Shen family to use Youran to plot against me, there is no need to show mercy to him."
The Second Prince of Northern Chu and the Shen family both believed that given how much she valued Ye Youran, she would definitely go to Northern Chu with the wedding procession when she married.
Shen Zhikang must have told the second prince of Northern Chu that by then, Song Yunxi would be alone in Northern Chu and it would be easy to keep her in Northern Chu.
Shen Zhikang wanted to make Emperor Qinglong lose the support of Shengyun Mountain so that he would rely more on the Shen family.
In fact, it means that Shengyunshan can attack Beichu, and the Shen family can wait for the opportunity and easily take everything in Beichu into their own pocket.
It's quite good to kill two birds with one stone.
Although Shen Zhikang is ugly, he has beautiful dreams!
"Big brother has also made arrangements with Beichu. The second prince of Beichu trusts his staff, so it is not difficult to give him some medicine."
The Second Prince of Northern Chu was a sinister and ruthless person, but at the same time he was also very cautious and a man of great will.
The possibility of him becoming obsessed with pleasure is zero.
Moreover, he was very self-disciplined. Apart from two concubines, he did not have even a maid in his house, and he never went to those places of entertainment.
What's more, he has a close friend who is a skilled doctor and loyal to him, making it even more difficult to plot against him.
But even if he can guard against everyone, he cannot guard against the people around him.
Even if the Second Prince of Northern Chu was reborn, he would never have imagined that the aide who helped him control the civil and military officials of Northern Chu would be Qin Xubai's man.
He would never have thought that the concubine bestowed upon him by the Emperor of Northern Chu was also Qin Xubai's woman.
That concubine was the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel of Northern Chu, but no one knew that the real daughter of the Minister had been killed by her stepmother and step-sister long ago, and the one now in the palace of the Second Prince of Northern Chu was actually her maid in disguise.
The concubine's daughter had been locked up in the backyard and abused by her stepmother and step-sister. She was unkempt and skinny, and no one remembered what she looked like.
With a little training and disguise, it would be easy to impersonate someone like that.
The maid who pretended to be the Shangshu's concubine was also a loyal and righteous person. She was willing to risk her life to avenge her mistress.
The plot against the Second Prince of Northern Chu was successful this time because of the cooperation between the two of them.
The Second Prince of Northern Chu naturally noticed his abnormality, but neither the imperial physician of Northern Chu nor other famous doctors found any signs of poisoning from his pulse.
Thus, the second prince of Northern Chu was completely distorted under the manipulation of drugs.
The Second Prince of Northern Chu was certainly not poisoned, but the smell he smelled every day and the food he ate contained the special medicine powder prepared by Song Yunxi. When he had sex with his concubine, the medicine hidden in the concubine's body would induce the poison in him.
Judging from the current symptoms of the Second Prince of Northern Chu, he will only become more and more twisted and crazy in the future. He will no longer have the possibility of competing for the throne, and the strength of Northern Chu will also be weakened.
Ye Wenshan hopes that this husband can satisfy her.
Song Yunxi did not leave the palace that day. She wanted to see with her own eyes how Concubine Shen and her daughter would suffer the consequences of their own actions!
Late at night, Concubine Shen's shrill screams were heard from Linhua Palace.
She never dreamed that her daughter would be sent back in a state of brokenness.
"Song Yunxi, it must be Song Yunxi!"
Concubine Shen rushed out like a madman: "I will definitely kill that bitch and make her die a miserable death!"
"Mother, calm down!"
If Ye Xuanrong had not stopped the man in time, Concubine Shen would have already rushed out.
Concubine Shen's eyes were red: "Your sister was harmed by that bitch and became like this, how can you expect me to remain calm?"
Ye Xuanrong really didn't understand why his usually calm mother could be so careless.
"Have you ever thought about the consequences of exposing this matter?"
Ye Xuanrong calmly analyzed: "If the emperor knew that his beloved daughter had spent a night with my uncle and cousin, regardless of whether she was framed or not, do you think he would let my uncle and cousin go?"
His words calmed Concubine Shen down instantly.
Ye Xuanrong breathed a sigh of relief: "Father will not only not let them go, but will also punish them severely. Uncle now only has the title of Earl of Ning'an. Does mother want to see the Shen family stripped of their titles and imprisoned or exiled?"
"Mother, the Shen family is our support and our relatives!"
Concubine Shen was now completely calm, but she was still filled with a strong sense of unwillingness when she saw Ye Wenshan's miserable state with only one breath left.
"I am unwilling to accept this. Wen Shan was harmed by that bitch and became like this. If I don't avenge her, I would be unworthy of being a mother!"
"Why should mother be in such a hurry?"
Ye Xuanrong said patiently: "When my son ascends the throne, not to mention a mere Song Yunxi, even the Duke's Mansion and Shengyun Mountain will be wiped out!"
Concubine Shen wiped her tears and said, "Xuanrong, you must remember what you said today. You must avenge your sister in the future and make sure Song Yunxi and Yu Ziche die miserably!"
"I will definitely not forget this. Not only these two, I will also torture Song Wentian, Qin Xubai, and Jiang Yanting to death, and make sure they never have a chance to be reborn!"
Concubine Shen, who had regained her sanity, asked him, "How are your uncle and cousin?"
Ye Xuanrong looked gloomy: "The situation is very bad, but fortunately there is no danger to life."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I originally wanted to use the poisonous insects to capture Yu Ziche, so that the Princess and the Duke of England could certainly be used by you, but I didn't expect that I would be tricked by that bitch."
Concubine Shen regretted deeply: "I underestimated that bitch's methods."
Thinking of Song Yunxi, Ye Xuanrong was helpless with her and could only comfort Concubine Shen: "As mother said, Song Yunxi is not an easy person to deal with. We need to wait for the right time. The most important thing right now is to let Shan'er, uncle and cousin recover from their injuries."
Concubine Shen nodded in agreement: "You are right."
When the mother and son were talking, Emperor Qinglong arrived unexpectedly. Ye Xuanrong hurriedly jumped out of the window and left Linhua Palace.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly come to my place today?"
Concubine Shen concealed all her emotions and remained as charming and graceful as ever.
But Emperor Qinglong's face was still terribly dark: "Yesterday you said that the sixth brother was injured by an assassin. I was busy with state affairs and had no time to go to see him. Today, the guards came to report that Wenshan was injured again."
She said her son was injured by an assassin because she didn't want Emperor Qinglong to link the incident at the welcome banquet to him or the Shen family. However, she didn't expect that the guards sent by Emperor Qinglong to protect her and her son would report her daughter's injury.
It was also her fault for being careless for a moment. Her daughter was injured so badly that she was so confused that she forgot about the guards.
"It's just a minor injury, it's nothing serious."
Concubine Shen tried her best to hide her emotions and held Emperor Qinglong's arm affectionately: "Shan'er is my own daughter. If she is seriously injured, how can I smile?"
