After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

Chapter 136 Past events (3)

Empress Shangguan did not embarrass Prince Jing's mother in her own palace, which made Prince Jing's mother feel a little relieved. However, she did not expect that Prince Jing's mother would still fall seriously ill after returning to the palace, and the child was almost lost. This matter soon reached the ears of the emperor, who was immediately furious and immediately ordered the sealing of Prince Jing's mother's bedroom, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving. However, this could not completely prevent the spread of the news.

Although the bedroom of Prince Jing's mother was sealed, some people still learned about the situation inside through various channels. It turned out that since returning to the palace, Prince Jing's mother's mental state has become extremely abnormal. Her emotions fluctuated abnormally, sometimes angry, sometimes sad, and difficult to understand. What is more worrying is that she developed a strong disgust for the fetus in her belly, and even tried to abort herself many times. Faced with such a situation, the emperor was helpless. In desperation, he could only order the palace people to tie up Prince Jing's mother to prevent her from taking extreme actions to hurt herself and the child. In this way, Prince Jing's mother was firmly bound until the child was born smoothly.

As a result, after the child was born, Prince Jing's mother didn't even look at him, and even wanted the people around her to drown the child. Because she believed that the child would bring bad luck to herself and her family. Of course, the people who served her didn't dare to do so, and quickly reported the situation to the emperor. The emperor was very angry when he heard the news, and had no choice but to send Prince Jing to another palace concubine for foster care. In this way, Prince Jing left his biological mother's arms and became an orphan with no one to rely on.

At this time, Empress Shangguan was found to be pregnant again. As time went by, Empress Shangguan gave birth to her own child. She put all her energy into taking care of her child and finally relaxed her hostility towards Prince Jing. Prince Jing was forgotten in the corner, no one cared about him, but he was at the mercy of others.

A few years later, Prince Jing's mother finally couldn't bear the double torture of body and mind and passed away. However, this was just a statement made to the outside world. In fact, after an investigation by Prince Jing's men, they found that the mother did not die of natural causes, but was murdered. It turned out that the mother was killed by a very strange poison.

The characteristics of this poison are horrifying: if the person taking the medicine is calm and not worried, it will not erode his internal organs; but if the person taking the medicine is in a state of worry and anxiety for a long time, the poison will be like a poisonous snake, constantly eroding his internal organs, and eventually causing death from the ulceration of the whole body. What is even more terrifying is that in the face of such a strange poison, there is actually no antidote that can save the poisoned person. He can only watch her die.

Two years later, the Shangguan family began to decline. First, the children of various branches made continuous mistakes in political affairs, causing them to lose the trust of the emperor and other ministers. Then, some scandals about the immoral behavior and corruption of members of the Shangguan family were exposed, causing people to doubt and feel dissatisfied with this once prominent family.

These negative news quickly spread throughout the capital and became a hot topic on the streets. What's worse, the reputation of the Shangguan family was severely damaged, which made many people begin to question whether they can continue to hold important positions and are pessimistic about their future development.

Under such circumstances, the Shangguan family fell into a dilemma, facing pressure and accusations from all sides. However, at this time, a shocking thing happened: Queen Shangguan suddenly died in the palace!

Various versions of rumors circulated in the palace about this matter, but the official news stated that Empress Shangguan died of a sudden illness.
