Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

The Thirteenth Prince had had enough of such a life. Death was a relief for him, but it was different for the Queen. She still had many things she wanted to do. Her goals had not been achieved yet. She had not suppressed the Imperial Concubine, and her son had not sat on the throne. How could she die?

When Prince Su came over, the Queen subconsciously struggled.

It is easy to say “to die” but hard to do it.

People’s desire to survive is so strong that no one can resist this instinct unless they are willing to do so.

No matter how much the queen wanted to maintain her dignity, she could not remain truly indifferent when faced with something that frightened her.

Prince Su sighed when he saw this, “Sister-in-law, you are really making things difficult for me.”

Prince Su had no opinion on his sister-in-law. The first one was good, but the next one was not bad either. When the new queen was appointed, the princess came to pay her respects and said she was a dignified and virtuous queen. But I don’t know what happened in these years to make her become like this.

Hearing Prince Su’s voice, the Queen subconsciously clenched her palms. Her long nails almost pierced into her flesh due to her nervousness: “I didn’t know about Thirteen’s affairs before.” She didn’t even know when the Princess of Beiting had become involved with her son.

Thinking of this, the queen was filled with hatred.

However, the emperor had never come since returning from Zilu Peak, and the queen was imprisoned in her own palace, with no way to appeal for justice.

When Prince Su heard this, he naturally knew what she meant, and he also knew that the current queen wanted to cut off her relationship with the Thirteenth Prince.

But unfortunately, it was too late. Moreover, colluding with Beiting was a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the clan. How could one get away with it by simply saying “I didn’t know”?

Prince Su paused and said, “Sister-in-law, please go on your way.”

The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and the queen finally fell into complete despair.

Under the control of several palace servants, the queen was eventually forced to drink poisoned wine.

When the poison took effect, the pain was so unbearable that the queen felt as if her internal organs were being smashed. She couldn’t help but scream.

Prince Su on the side couldn’t bear to watch any longer. In order to save the Queen’s final dignity, Prince Su led the palace servants to retreat and then waited quietly in the yard.

With a “creak”, the room was sealed immediately, completely cutting off the queen’s possibility of escape.

The only person left in the whole room was the dead Thirteenth Prince.

Perhaps it was because of the pain, or perhaps because of the deep hatred in her heart, the queen could not help but punch and kick the Thirteenth Prince, who had long since died. While kicking him, she cursed him crazily: “Debt collector! Unlucky star!”

If I had known this would happen, why would I have given birth to him? I didn’t want him to bring trouble to myself and my mother’s family.

The Thirteenth Prince didn’t move, just staring at her with his wide eyes.

“If I had known this would happen, I should have drowned you as soon as you were born!” She regretted it, she regretted it so much!

At first the queen still had some strength, but gradually, she couldn’t even stand up.

At the last moment, thoughts and images flashed through the queen’s mind, and without exception, all of them showed the appearance of Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong challenged him, Concubine Rong was arrogant and domineering, Concubine Rong successfully gave birth to a prince…

Why, why did the beautiful but extremely vulgar imperial concubine get everything she wanted!

They both gave birth to a son against the emperor’s will, so how could she be so lucky? It was obvious that the emperor hated the Zhen family the most at the beginning, so why were they the ones who died in the end?

Why! Why! Why!

Oh my God, you are not fair!

In the end, the queen died in resentment and hatred.

Although the Thirteenth Prince had long since stopped making any sound, a closer look revealed that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling…

He waited until dark, then ordered his men to open the door and go back inside.

Because the queen struggled desperately before her death, the tables, chairs, benches and various furnishings in the room fell to the ground, and the luxurious bedroom was in a mess.

Looking at the Thirteenth Prince’s clothes, they were all torn by the Queen, and there was blood in the gaps between her fingernails.

Neither the mother nor the son could close their eyes.

Looking at this scene, Prince Su finally sighed deeply, then ordered the palace servants to wrap the two men with a straw mat and prepare a coffin. He then had them hurriedly dragged out of the palace while it was getting dark, and then buried them in a random place outside of Shangjing City.

The queen had put in so much effort and done so many things over the years, but in the end, it was all in vain.

Maybe it was just bad timing, or maybe it was just bad weather, because it started to rain after a short while.

The other side.

In contrast to the Queen’s Palace, Qiuwu Palace is full of joy and bustle.

The Imperial Concubine was not a good person from the beginning. After so many years, she is still the same. Her essence has not changed much. She is gentle only to close relatives like Ye Shuo and Jian Jian. The Imperial Concubine may never like the Queen in her entire life.

According to the imperial concubine’s previous temperament, it was good of her not to allow people to set off two strings of firecrackers when she learned of the queen’s death. Now that her two children have grown up, she has become a little calmer, but she still does not feel sad.

If there is nothing, there is nothing. The imperial concubine cannot pretend to be so.  

So after listening to it, the imperial concubine just sighed twice, feeling a little complicated, but she quickly put it behind her.

Today was the auspicious day for Noble Concubine to be promoted to Imperial Noble Concubine, but because it was raining, Noble Concubine Rong really didn’t want to make trouble, so she just set up a table in her own palace.

There were no outsiders in the entire Qiuwu Palace, only four people, Imperial Concubine Ye Shuo, Jian Jian, and Emperor Jingwen.

People like Xu Chongyi and the Sixth Prince and his wife, after sending their gifts, left very tactfully.

Under the warm candlelight, for a moment, this place really feels like home.

After dinner, seeing that the rain outside had not stopped but was getting heavier, Rong Guifei, no, now she should be called Rong Huang Guifei, could not help but said, “Why don’t you stay at the palace tonight and stay the night.”

Although Ye Shuo had left the palace several years ago, the imperial concubine had always kept his room and asked palace servants to clean it from time to time so that he could move in at any time.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but look at his adoptive father standing beside him.

To be honest, Ye Shuo was not willing to wade back through the water. Although he had an umbrella and other things, it was inevitable that his clothes would get wet. However, this matter was not up to him after all. He was already twenty years old, and it was not justifiable for him to continue living in the palace. Unless his adoptive father allowed it, no one would dare to gossip about it.

Seeing his son looking at him like this, Emperor Jingwen cleared his throat and finally nodded.

At worst, I can just stay in the Imperial Concubine’s Palace today. It’s not a big deal.

After getting the approval of his stepfather, Ye Shuo whispered a few words to Xiao Luzi, who nodded. Then he asked someone to go to the palace to reply to Miss Yao, saying that the prince would not be coming back today.

The imperial concubine standing by couldn’t help feeling a little jealous when she saw this.

Her son was very attentive, yet he had to specially tell the girl about such a small matter. The imperial concubine suddenly felt as if the son she had raised for so many years would soon belong to someone else.

But even though she felt jealous, the imperial concubine was still more curious.

After all, she was the first girl her son fell in love with. Although her family background did not meet the imperial concubine’s expectations at all, the imperial concubine did not object from the beginning.

To be honest, the Imperial Concubine had heard the name “Miss Yao” countless times during this period of time, but she had never had the chance to meet her. In addition, a lot of things had happened recently, so the Imperial Concubine really didn’t have this opportunity.

Besides, the marriage has not even started yet, and yet she is summoned into the palace. If it doesn’t work out, who knows what others will say about her.

His son is a prince and a man, so he may not care, but it is different for girls.

Now the Imperial Concubine couldn’t help it any longer. She wanted to pretend that she didn’t care, but in fact, the urgency in her eyes was almost exposed: “What kind of person is Miss Yao?”

Ye Shuo touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, “She is someone who can protect this son.”

“She is very good at martial arts and medicine. When this son is with her, he feels very safe. It’s as if with her around, he will never worry about being bullied.”

Emperor Jingwen on the side: “…”

“Cough!!!” Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but cough loudly. He really couldn’t understand how his son had the nerve to say such nonsense as asking a girl to protect him.

Does he still have any shame?

As soon as these words came out, even the Imperial Concubine was suddenly entangled.

If her son said that the girl was pretty, the imperial concubine would worry that he was bewitched by the female enchantress outside.

If her son said that the girl had a good temper, the imperial concubine would not be able to help but wonder if the girl was pretending, or if she had used some means to curry favour with the powerful.

But his son said he could protect him…

How can a girl protect a man?

The Imperial Noble Consort was spoiled by her brothers since she was a child, and she felt that all men in the world should be like her father and brothers. But…it turns out that her son is a useless piece of paper?

As if he didn’t notice the change in his mother’s expression, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but count on his fingers: “Not only that, she also tolerates this son’s temper. Even if this son is unreasonable, she won’t get angry. She will apologise to this son and comfort him.”

“She would also go to the cliff to pick delicious fruits for this son. When this son just said he wanted to eat crabs, she walked dozens of miles along the mountain road to buy a large basket for him. She also helped this son look after his nephew. Since she came to the palace, this son no longer needed guards. She was enough. She could also help this son carry things and heavy objects when he went to the street every day.”

“Oh, by the way, she also teaches this son sword skills every day…”

According to what he said, ordinary noble ladies really could not satisfy him. Most of the noble ladies in big families were pampered. What they wanted was a considerate and gentle husband, not a child like him who needed someone to worry about and coax him everywhere.

After hearing this, the Imperial Concubine felt that this girl named Yao was too miserable. If she encountered such a thing, she would probably be so angry that she would die.

Then, a thought unconsciously flashed through the Imperial Concubine’s mind –

Could it be that the girl named Yao was deceived by her own son?
