After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 498 Murder and Silence

The Empress's expression stiffened, her eyes showing displeasure: "Consort Xian, what business is it of yours how I reward the concubines who have given birth? Don't overstep your bounds."

Qi Yunran smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, you are mistaken. I risked my life to save this lady and her daughter. How could they have nothing to do with me?"

The royal family changes their minds faster than anything else. Just a moment ago they were calling her their sister in the palace, but now that they see a beautiful woman has given birth to a princess and poses no threat to her, they immediately want to sever ties with her.

Eunuch Desheng reluctantly went to summon the Emperor, who immediately flew into a rage: "Does Your Excellency have no manners? This Cold Palace is already an unlucky place, and it's also the filthy place where women give birth. How dare you summon the Emperor into such a filthy place?"

Qi Yunran paused for a moment: "So the place where the concubines in the harem gave birth to the emperor's sons and daughters is a filthy place! Then, do all the concubines in your harem who gave birth to imperial offspring have to rebuild their palaces? If that's the case, then I am indeed ignorant!"

"How dare you..." The Empress was so angry with Qi Yunran that she was furious.

Qi Yunran smiled coldly. If you want to frame someone, why can't they resist?

Just then, Lou Chen overheard the conversation inside and finally couldn't resist pushing the door open.

"My lady, what eloquence! I am the Son of Heaven, so naturally nothing can get close to me. Empress, please stop!"

"Yes!" The Empress's initially resentful gaze also subsided under Lou Chen's imposing presence.

"I wonder what Lady Xian has to say that she insists on calling me in?"

Qi Yunran had a female official bring the newborn princess to the Emperor: "Your Majesty, look, this is the little princess I delivered. She is perfectly healthy, and the empress inside is just asleep. With proper care, there shouldn't be any major problems."

After saying that, ignoring Lou Chen's increasingly dark gaze, she changed the subject: "It's a pity, though. The Empress was carrying twins, which would have been the best combination of a boy and a girl. The princess survived, but the prince in her womb died from arsenic poisoning at birth! It's truly a tragedy!"

"What did you say?" Lou Chen glared at Qi Yunran in a fit of rage. Qi Yunran smiled wickedly: "I don't know which quack doctor took her pulse and ruined the Empress's unborn child! He even gave her a deadly poison."

Lou Chen completely lost control and ran into the inner room. Looking at the prince's face, which was turning ashen, Lou Chen felt his own body growing colder.

Driven mad, he wanted to kill them and exterminate their entire clan. How dare they scheme against him!

His prince, the prince he had long awaited! Who was behind him? Who had plotted against him, causing him to lose everything and completely disrupting his plans?

"Guards, bring Physician Hu here before me!"

The imperial physician Hu was seen trembling outside the door when he was dragged in by the guards and thrown to the ground.

Lou Chen walked over and kicked him over. Still not satisfied, he grabbed a stool from the Cold Palace and smashed it over Physician Hu's head.

Physician Hu clutched his head, his skull smashed into a pulp.

Lou Chen, still not satisfied, drew a guard's knife and slashed it across Physician Hu's shoulder. Physician Hu, bleeding profusely from his head, screamed in terror but before he could even cry for help, was knocked unconscious and killed by the enraged emperor.

Qi Yunran's expression turned icy cold. This was murder to silence her!
"The Emperor has killed everyone, who will clear our names?" Qi Yunran asked coldly.

Lou Chen's tone was icy: "I will investigate today's events thoroughly! Prime Minister, take your wife and go back first! Remember the safety of the envoys from the four kingdoms at my birthday banquet next month! If there are any more mishaps that disgrace Louqu Kingdom, I will not let them off lightly! Get out!"

Pei Yuanjun looked coldly at Lou Chen, stabbing him in the heart, and said, "Your Majesty must find the heartless and wicked person who harmed the innocent little prince behind the scenes. This person is so vicious that it is outrageous! This person should be ground to dust and condemned by all!"
