Chapter 808: Life and Death
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In his previous life, if it weren’t for Prince Qing drinking and causing trouble, and telling his mother everything, his mother wouldn’t have known that he wasn’t Emperor Hao’s biological son. It was Emperor Hao who randomly found someone and did that kind of thing with his mother before she got pregnant with him. Emperor Hao was a benevolent ruler, but he was also despicable in the shadows.
It was also Prince Qing who had wasted his time drinking. His mother had also learned from Prince Qing that Ji Xiehui was actually Emperor Hao’s man and that the Empress Dowager was actually at the Heavenly Spirit Temple… Wait, many things haven’t been shared at this point…
Later, his grandfather’s family and his mother played along and made Emperor Hao consume poison that went undetected by the doctors. He fell unconscious and even passed away. Ji Xiehui was also secretly dealt with by his grandfather. The Empress Dowager was also secretly killed by his grandfather’s military horses.
His mother was a ruthless person and would never let the fact that he wasn’t Emperor Hao!s biological son be leaked. She wanted to kill Prince Qing but was captured by him instead.
Prince Qing was indeed a love-struck person. The people of the Emperor’s family were all love-struck people. Prince Qing had already captured his mother, yet he was still reluctant to kill her. He even committed suicide, feeling that he had killed his brother and mother and had no face to live in this world.
Regardless of whether Prince Qing would get drunk during the Lantern
Festival or not, he had to think of a way to make Emperor Hao’s plan fail.
Wei Zizhan wasn’t cut into eight pieces and was even found back so early. This made him have a deep sense of crisis. He always felt that Emperor Hao’s plan would have happened if it weren’t for the incidents.
Just in case, he naturally had to take precautions.
If he lost his identity as the Second Prince, it would be even more difficult for him to become the Emperor in the future. He couldn’t let Emperor Hao have the chance to say that he wasn’t his biological son.
He was the Emperor in his previous life, so he naturally wanted to be the Emperor in this life as well. He could decide life and death by himself.
However, something felt really wrong. He had been reborn, and many things had changed. Moreover, he had been tripped by Wei Zizhan. Shao Zhongxi had entered the palace, so why was no one from his maternal grandfather’s family there?
Also, why didn’t Shao Youyue, the Empress, come?
Logically speaking, Wei Zizhan was only the Crown Prince now. If something happened to her son, Shao Youyue would definitely not be at ease no matter how seriously ill she was. She would definitely force herself to come and support her son… Right?
Did she know that Wei Zizhan was not the Crown Prince, or was Shao Youyue not in the palace at all?
However, if they knew, then the Shao Family would definitely know this as well. Then how could they possibly let Wei Zizhan be recognized as the Crown Prince?
‘It must be because she isn’t in the palace.’
Moreover, ever since the Empress Dowager returned, no one else in the palace had seen Shao Youyue.
She was definitely not in the palace!
If Shao Youyue wasn’t in the palace, then where was she?
Also, why did the Empress Dowager come back? In his previous life, he did not have any recollection of such a thing…
Just as Prince Yi thought of this, he heard his mother cry again, “Yi, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking? Doctor! Doctor!”
Seeing her son in a daze, Consort Yi was afraid that her son had gone silly. If he was, he might as well die.
Before the doctor could step forward, Prince Yi hurriedly said, “Mother, I’m fine, I was just trying to gather my bearings.” Immediately, he wanted to get off the bed and apologize to Emperor Hao, “Father, forgive me. I didn’t mean to ignore you.”
Emperor Hao smiled and stopped him from getting out of bed. “It’s better to lie down.” He covered him with a blanket and said gently, “It seems that your brother was just playing with you, but he didn’t expect you to faint with such a weak body..”
