Chapter 1966: Chapter 1904: Banished to the Cold Palace
Empress Song played a trump card, yet instead of being pleased, Emperor Yan’s thin face twisted into a sinister scowl.
This is not as expected!
Empress Song subtly clenched her fist, showing not a hint of panic.
"My legitimate son." Emperor Yan repeated, looking at Empress Song with eyes that wished to tear her apart like a beast.
Is it truly his legitimate son, or that of Lu Shenxing?
For years, there was not a word, and now suddenly she is pregnant?
Dared Empress Song to sully the harem?
Emperor Yan glanced at Eunuch Lu.
Eunuch Lu immediately understood, folded his hands, and exited. Since the Emperor was unwell, most of the imperial physicians were studying prescriptions in a side hall. He quickly brought an imperial physician to check Empress Song’s pulse and had someone clean the chamber of filth.
"Your Majesty, the Empress’s pulse is round and smooth, indicating she is more than a month pregnant." The imperial physician, surnamed Qian, perceptive of the tense atmosphere as he entered and noticed the Emperor’s displeasure. Afraid to offer congratulations, he only truthfully reported the Empress’s pulse.
Empress Song heard this, and a barely noticeable smile curved her lips as she relaxed.
Eunuch Lu led Imperial Physician Qian out.
Emperor Yan coldly asked Empress Song, "Is this really my legitimate son?"
Empress Song’s expression changed, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Without your valiant brother willing to sacrifice himself for you, I might have believed it, but the reality? A third-class guard captain, skilled in martial arts, assisting in your schemes against Princess Consort of Jin in Zhonghe Palace, I highly doubt there’s anywhere he can’t go!" Emperor Yan sneered.
Almost saying that she dared to cheat and carry a bastard child, blaming it on him!
"Your Majesty, how can you doubt me!" Empress Song stepped back in shock, protecting her abdomen with both hands, "This is your only legitimate son!"
"Oh, did Lu Shenxing’s lackeys not inform you that I still have Xiao Five?" Emperor Yan laughed.
Empress Song’s face stiffened.
Suddenly, Emperor Yan’s gaze sharpened, his eyes half-closed, "So you plotted against the imperial heir, plotted against me, not just for revenge, but to leverage the flesh in your belly. Once he becomes the only one, won’t I have no choice but to let him inherit the foundation of Beiyan? To turn this realm into the land of Lu?"
It must be said, Emperor Yan was not so far gone with sickness; he realized the crux of the matter with a thought.
Empress Song stepped back a few paces, feigning calm, "I do not know what Your Majesty speaks of, only that this is what you owe me." She looked at him, tears flowing from her eyes, "You owe me!"
She had laid bare the only chance to protect herself and her son.
Seize the deceased Qinger, and stab him with it!
"You say I owe you? Very well! If you wish to give birth, I will let you give birth, provided you have the ability." Emperor Yan spoke coldly, "Suppress it, banish her to Youning Palace."
Youning Palace, the Cold Palace of the imperial palace, housed many insane or offending concubines. Once inside, even if they don’t die, they’ll go mad!
"You..."
"I will let you know, even if you bear a son, it will not be as you wish! Drag her away."
"You, tyrant, despot!" Empress Song could no longer hold back, angrily shouting.
The voice gradually faded away.
After the commotion, Emperor Yan seemed as though all his vigor was drained away; his abdomen faintly ached, and he couldn’t help but groan.
"Your Majesty," Commander Zhao exclaimed in shock.
Pale-faced, with trembling lips, Emperor Yan said, "Find all of Empress Song and Lu Shenxing’s people, and kill them without mercy! The Song Family, Eight Directions Fortress, obliterate them all!"
No one who trifles with him can survive unscathed, not even with backing. No one can challenge his dignity, no one!
