Chapter 247 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Xiangxiang Follows Behind
Emperor Taihe clutched his chest in agony, his gaze like a knife, wishing he could slice Empress Chen into pieces. "You vicious bitch! I should have thought of this earlier! The Chen family was able to raise a vicious woman like Chen Fang, and you, who were carefully raised, will only be even more vicious!"
Empress Chen sneered immediately, "Your Majesty is right, I am indeed a vicious bitch, even worse than Chen Fang!
It’s a pity that you are too stupid. You clearly know what Chen Fang has done, but you are still deceiving yourself and believing that I am a living clay Buddha!
Even a clay man has some earthiness in him. How could Your Majesty think that I would reward you with wine after you and Jiang Lin treated me like this?
You made me the queen, but so what? If it weren't for the Queen Mother's pressure, and Jiang Lin's poor background, you would have deposed me as the queen and promoted Jiang Lin, a lowly servant!
If I hadn't risked my life to block the knife for you, and Jiang Lin had lost her son and was unable to have children again, would you have continued to let me be the queen?
After Jiang Lin gave birth to that bastard, didn't you want to help her ascend to the throne and force me, the queen, to give up my position to her? Is she worthy?
Since that evil creature has become her biggest bargaining chip, I will kill it and prevent her from giving birth again. Let's see what else she can use to fight me!
Without a son, how could a lowly servant like her be qualified to become the queen?"
"You...you are simply a lunatic!" Emperor Taihe looked at Empress Chen's distorted face, and suddenly a deep fear arose in his heart. "It was you who drugged me, making it impossible for the women in the harem to conceive, is that right?"
"So what if it's me? You already have a prince, so what do you need so many sons for?"
Empress Chen smiled with disdain, "I, the Empress, can't even give birth, so how can you, the Emperor, give birth to a bunch of bastards?"
At the end, she laughed strangely again, "You don't have to look at me like that. After all, I helped you.
If you can still give birth, I'm afraid all the children born by the women in this palace will be Chen Shou's illegitimate offspring.
I think you don't want to be cuckolded because Chen Shou has given you a green hat, right? I saved Yang Tao's life, which is like leaving you a root. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Emperor Taihe gnashed his teeth in hatred and wanted to chop this crazy woman to death with a sword!
Empress Chen looked at his extremely angry yet helpless expression and smiled even more smugly, "If Your Majesty doesn't want to die, it's better not to make me angry.
I've poisoned you and Yang Tao. If I die, you'll both die too. Now that you know everything, it's time to let me go.
Didn't Jiang Lin want a son? Your Majesty, do you think she would be willing to die for this son she had lost and now found? To save her son, Luo willingly allowed herself to be cut open and bled to death.
Tell me, if I asked her to peel off her own skin and cut open her belly, would she be willing to die for Tao'er?"
Emperor Taihe was so angry that he cursed: "You vicious woman! How dare you! She has never hurt you, and you treat her like this! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Retribution? Hahahaha——" Chen Huan laughed crazily, "Who I am now is your retribution! You said she never hurt me?
She is just a lowly maid, yet she dares to snatch the emperor's favor and make me, the queen, live like a joke!
For this reason alone, she deserves to die!
So Your Majesty can't blame me. If you have to blame someone, blame yourselves for being too stupid! For not killing me in advance!"
Chen Huan said with a fearless smile, "Originally, I didn't want to make things so ugly, but who made you know Yang Tao's identity and want to attack me?
As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I just want to live a good life and have never thought of killing you now. It is you who forced me to come to this point. So, you can't blame me. "
Emperor Taihe was originally furious and wanted to go crazy, but he was suddenly surprised to find that the pain in his heart didn't seem to be as severe anymore.
He frowned and immediately looked at Chen Huan warily, suspecting that she was up to something again.
But Chen Huan, who was so proud just now, actually frowned and looked surprised and doubtful.
Emperor Taihe was secretly surprised: "???"
How is this going?
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
Strange, where does the fragrance come from?
He was so alert that he quickly covered his nose and took several steps back to distance himself from Queen Chen.
But Queen Chen suddenly widened her eyes, looking extremely horrified.
He became increasingly confused and uncertain, so he asked tentatively, "What's wrong with you? Someone come here!"
Wang Zhi ran over quickly.
He was originally guarding Emperor Taihe. Later, when Empress Chen talked about what happened that year, Emperor Taihe gave him a look, and he led his men to retreat a long distance to avoid hearing anything he shouldn't hear.
Anyway, Empress Chen was imprisoned, and Emperor Taihe was wearing the insect repellent sachet given by the divine doctor, so he should be fine.
Wang Zhi never expected that Empress Chen could still do mischief while imprisoned!
As soon as he got closer, he smelled a strange fragrance emanating from Emperor Taihe.
He couldn't describe the smell. It was very fragrant, but not cloying. Instead, it was very pleasant.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Zhi looked at Emperor Taihe in horror, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Emperor Taihe frowned and touched his chest worriedly.
His heart was in great pain before, as if it was being torn apart.
But soon, the severe pain suddenly disappeared, and now he no longer felt any discomfort, as if the previous severe pain was just an illusion.
Why is this happening?
Could it be that he was poisoned and therefore couldn't feel the pain?
Emperor Taihe pinched himself secretly out of worry. He pinched himself a little too hard and ended up grimacing in pain.
Wang Zhi, upon seeing this, turned his gaze away decisively: "!!!"
He just didn't see anything!
Emperor Taihe didn't notice his little action and ordered anxiously, "Wang Zhi, do you smell a fragrance? Find the source of that fragrance!"
Wang Zhi froze instantly: "..."
He looked at Emperor Taihe, not knowing how to start.
Emperor Taihe scolded him dissatisfiedly: "I asked you to find the source of that fragrance, why are you looking at me?"
