After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 286: Tampering with the Will
The palace banquet arrived as scheduled, and the court officials who attended the banquet came with trepidation.
Lu Linchu was supported by Chu Huaixi and sat in the main hall of Funing Palace. He looked at the people in the hall. Although many of his close friends did not show up, many people from the Lu and Fu families still came, even the siblings Ye Zhan and Ye Qiong were there, which made him very pleased.
Under the continuous flattery of the Ye brothers and sisters, he was in good spirits and drank a lot of wine.
Chu Huaixi was worried that his body couldn't handle it, so he kept persuading him, "Your Majesty, your dragon body hasn't recovered yet, so it's better to drink less."
At this time, Fangyi and Caidie both toasted him. Lu Linchu was still waiting to see the dance that the Queen had carefully choreographed for him, and naturally did not want to listen to Chu Huaixi's nagging. The Queen had not arrived yet, and he had drunk quite a lot, and he felt a little dazed.
However, after waiting for a long time, the queen did not come, but only Lu Linxue came into the palace holding the will.
"Zhaoyang, why did you come just now?"
Lu Linchu coughed lightly and glanced at the woman who was going to the palace. She was dressed very simply today and did not have any of the dignity of a princess at all.
"I am here today at the risk of my life to read out the Queen Mother's will."
After Lu Linxue knelt down, she responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and looked at Chu Huaixi with sharp eyes: "The Queen Mother left a will. Du Jiuniang has brought great harm to the Lu family, and the Chu family has even more ulterior motives. The Queen Mother left a will that Du Jiuniang's spirit tablet should not be moved into the Lu family's ancestral temple, and Your Majesty should not confer any title on the Chu family."
"Nonsense."
Lu Linchu angrily asked, "It's been so long since the Queen Mother passed away, when did she leave a will?"
However, You Dian took the will and handed it directly to him.
Lu Linchu glared at him fiercely, but still took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
The words were full of hatred for Jiu Niang and Chu Huaixi, which made him frown continuously.
"I didn't expect that even after my mother passed away, she still couldn't tolerate Jiu Niang."
He felt very uncomfortable for a while.
Chu Huaixi pursed her lips and said in a dark tone, "I'm afraid the Queen doesn't want to dance for Your Majesty, so she deliberately brought up the Queen Mother."
Lu Linchu's heart tightened, but no matter whether it was the Queen's intention or not, he knew clearly in his heart that his father and mother did hate Jiu Niang.
At this time, Hu An was led in. Lu Linxue took the opportunity to say, "You witch, I knew you still wanted to frame the queen. You can doubt the decree. The evil deeds that Du Jiuniang committed to harm the Lu family could not be faked. She could not have hurt the queen mother so badly."
Pointing at what Hu An was holding, she said sternly, "Du Jiuniang is a close confidant of Emperor Hui. She was sent to Liyang on Emperor Hui's orders to deliberately get close to Your Majesty in order to get a chance to assassinate the late Emperor and the Queen Mother."
"impossible."
Lu Linchu flew into a rage and slammed the table hard. The smell of alcohol stimulated the blood in his chest to seep out of the corners of his mouth.
He immediately took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Zhaoyang, stop talking nonsense."
"His Majesty."
Hu An knelt down and said, "Every word the princess said is true. I have already sent someone to fetch Du Song, the groom who trained the skinny horse, as well as the letters and tokens exchanged between Du Jiuniang and Emperor Hui."
Without waiting for Lu Linchu to agree, You Dian took the letter and token again and placed it in front of him.
Lu Linchu opened the yellowed letter. The handwriting was so familiar.
Looking at the contents of the letter, it all expressed her fawning and trying to please Emperor Hui, as well as her disgust for herself.
Seeing his uncertain expression, Chu Huaixi quickly advised: "Your Majesty, you must not believe it easily. This is definitely not Sister Du's thing. The Queen must be trying to discredit Sister Du on purpose."
"Noble Concubine Chun really speaks without hesitation."
Ye Qiong said angrily, "This letter is at least several years old. Could it be that the Queen has the ability to predict the future and has already predicted this day?"
Lu Linchu had suspected Du Jiuniang before, but she concealed it so perfectly that he couldn't find any clues.
Now looking at this letter, the hairpin and a small tuft of hair, he could no longer not believe the facts before his eyes.
Although the hairpin was extremely old, he remembered that it was the ornament that Du Jiuniang wore on her head when he first met her.
She said that it was her mother's relic and her most beloved jewelry. It suddenly disappeared one day. He asked her the reason and just thought that she had lost it, so he searched for her for a long time.
Unexpectedly, she gave it to Emperor Hui herself.
This scheming woman, it turns out she had been deceiving herself from the beginning to the end.
"Bitch."
He cursed angrily and glanced at everyone in the hall fiercely: "Where are the Crown Prince and Princess Yu?"
Chu Huaixi realized that he wanted to vent his anger on the two children, and quickly responded: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and Princess Yu must be with the Queen. I will accompany you there now."
As soon as she finished her words, Lu Linchu suddenly pushed her down the hall and shouted angrily: "You are not a good person either."
Thinking about how his mother's body had been destroyed because of Du Jiuniang over the years, he felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
He angrily pushed the meal in front of him to the ground and spat a mouthful of blood onto the table. The strong smell of blood slowly spread in the surrounding air, making the entire hall suddenly silent.
Everyone prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to breathe.
"Queen."
Thinking of Fu Guiyun, and how he had forced her to imitate Du Jiuniang and dance that dirty dance, he felt filled with remorse.
"Quick, call the queen."
He kept coughing up blood, his body leaning weakly on the table, but when he thought about everything that happened today, he gradually realized that something was wrong.
Since the Queen Mother had already made her will, why didn't she tell me earlier, but waited until today? This woman is even more meticulous and vicious.
She clearly knew about Du Jiuniang's affair, yet she hid it from me and helped that bitch's son become the crown prince. She was deliberately trying to take revenge on me.
Drops of blood dripped onto the table. He looked around at everyone in the hall in panic. Those cold eyes made him shiver in his heart.
Slowly raising his hand and pointing at Fangyi, he said weakly: "Shufei, come here."
Fang Yi walked forward with a calm expression. As soon as she got in front of Lu Linchu, he fell down and leaned his body completely in her arms.
"Propose...propose to depose the Empress...depose the Crown Prince, and establish Wuyou as...as the Crown Prince."
His voice became very weak, the smell of alcohol irritated the arrow wounds on his chest and abdomen, and blood continued to flow out.
Fangyi heard it clearly, but a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
This person had never asked about her and her two children, but now he was actually thinking of deposing the queen and the prince. Wasn't that putting her and her two children on the fire? Was he going to let the queen and the Fu family put her to death?
All the arrangements made by the Empress Dowager and the late Emperor during their lifetime had clearly paved the way for the Empress and the Crown Prince. How could she go against the will of the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager and plunge the world of Daning into chaos?
Pretending not to hear, Fang Yi secretly pinched the most fatal midline of Lu Linchu's back and asked coldly, "What did your majesty say?"
Lu Linchu was almost suffocated by the pain and quickly spat out a large mouthful of blood. He did not expect that the most docile and well-behaved concubine in the past would give him a fatal blow.
With his eyes wide open, he tried to shout out with his last breath of strength: "You bitch... bitch..."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Yi used more force and suffocated him.
"His Majesty."
Fangyi called out several times in a row, and Youdian also hurried over to check. After a careful inspection, he sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty... has passed away."
Ye Zhan hurried over to ask: "Shu Fei, what did His Majesty say to you just now?"
Fang Yi glanced at the emperor who had already died, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty has spoken, he is ashamed of the late emperor and the queen mother, and he wants to atone for his sins. Please ask the queen to help the prince to ensure the long-term stability of the Great Ning Dynasty."
