Chapter 771: An Onslaught Of Bad News

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The corners of Lu Liangwei’s mouth curved upward. “I can overlook the great scholar Mo Chen’s fan since you’ve already had the Prince of Xuyang give it to His Majesty as a birthday gift. But the books contain records of treatments for all kinds of poisons, including Frostbite.”

When Ling Lihua heard this, the doubts that had arisen in her heart gradually faded away.

Indeed, she did not take her books with her when she left back then.

Right now, in Fragrant Blooms Court, there were still various books on medicine that she had left behind.

Among them were a few classics on detoxification, all of which were the fruits of her grandfather’s lifelong efforts, and they contained records on how to concoct and purge Frostbite.

However, she had already memorized everything by heart, so she kept them in a corner and did not bother taking them with her when she left.

It seemed that Weiwei had taught herself medical skills through those books and even learned to cure Frostbite by reading the classics.

Perhaps her daughter had inherited her talent in medicine, which was why she could acquire superb medical skills and knowledge on how to make and counter poisons without anyone’s guidance.

After figuring all this out, Ling Lihua felt glad but also remorseful at the same time.

She had missed out on her children’s growth, but she was relieved to see that they had grown up well despite her absence.

At the same time, however, she regretted not being part of their development.

Ultimately, she was really too selfish back then.

Lu Liangwei had been watching her mother’s reactions all this while, and when she saw the doubt on her face finally fading away, she let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Yunshuang, on the other hand, trembled in dread as she fixed her eyes on Lu Liangwei. “What Prince of Xuyang?”

A smile tugged at the corners of Lu Liangwei’s mouth. “Oh, | forgot to tell you. Long Chi has been deposed from his position as Crown Prince and demoted to Prince of Xuyang because he tried to assassinate His Majesty. In a few days, you’re going to move out of the Eastern Palace and head to Xuyang,

too.”

What? Long Chi had been demoted to Prince of Xuyang?!

Her words dealt Lu Yunshuang a heavy blow, and she widened her eyes in disbelief.

However, Lu Liangwei seemed not to notice her deathly pale face and continued, “Of course, if you don’t wish to go to a harsh and cold place like Xuyang, I can ask His Majesty to order a divorce between you and the Prince. We used to be sisters, after all.”

Lu Yunshuang’s face was drained of color, but she still refused to believe Lu Liangwei. She shook her head and said with a forced smile, “You’re kidding me, right? Why would the Crown Prince have any reason to assassinate His Majesty?”

The smile on Lu Liangwei’s face vanished. “That’s simple—because you found out that His Majesty has recovered from the poison. The Autumn Hunt was the perfect opportunity, so you took the risk and set up an ambush to kill His Majesty on the way back to the imperial capital from the Cool Mountains.

Unfortunately, fate got in your way—no matter how meticulous your plan was, it still failed.”

When Lu Yunshuang heard this, she almost lost her balance and fell.

Long Chi had actually been planning this with the Empress Dowager behind her back, and she had no idea at all.

As luck would have it, the plan had been exposed, and the Emperor had punished them.

No wonder Matron Chen was so desperate to tell the truth—it was because such a major incident had happened during the trip to the Cool Mountains.

She felt the world caving in around her.

All her hopes and dreams collapsed as well.

The onslaught of bad news was too unbearable for her.

Why did things turn out like this?

She had lost her title of Crown Princess, and she would also have difficulty conceiving again. Now, even her chance to become Empress in the future was gone

In that instant, despair filled Lu Yunshuang’s heart.

It was even more overwhelming than what she felt when she learned about her second miscarriage.
