Chapter 499: Who is the True Love



Li Hongyuan and Jiang Ning went over, and the Emperor reluctantly made way for them.

Before Concubine Jin could speak, she suddenly began to cough.

The palace maid hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.

Blood spilled out from the corner of her lips, wetting the handkerchief.

Faint traces of blood, a shocking sight.

The Emperor anxiously looked at her, gripping Concubine Jin’s hand tightly.

“I’m fine,” Concubine Jin gasped for breath and spoke hoarsely, “Let everyone else leave.”

The Emperor quickly said, “Zhuzhu, don’t worry about talking now. Let the Imperial Physician treat you first, then speak once you’re better.”

Concubine Jin glanced at the Imperial Physician and asked, “Why don’t you tell the truth, what poison have I been poisoned with?”

The court judge bowed, “Answering Your Highness, I am not sure yet. We need to find out who poisoned you, and with what poison, so that we can administer the proper treatment.”

“Useless!” The Emperor cursed angrily, “What are you still standing there for, Crown Prince? Go and investigate! Princess Consort, Concubine Jin had eaten the food you made. You better investigate yourself as well! If anything happens to Concubine Jin, you will not escape responsibility!”

Jiang Ning sneered in her heart upon hearing this.

It turned out that the Emperor, in the end, only trusted his own son. Although he seemed to dote on his daughter of the bright moon, he ultimately doubted her in his heart.

An emperor is an emperor. No matter how kind and approachable he may be, deep down, he is still suspicious and fickle.

As soon as the Emperor’s words fell, Concubine Jin started to cough violently again, her body bending in pain like a shrimp.

The Emperor was horrified and anxiously yelled, “Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician!”

The court judge hurriedly went to check Concubine Jin’s pulse and turned to say, “There’s no time to find out what kind of poison it is. Let’s make a bowl of Detoxifying Soup for her to drink first. I will immediately perform acupuncture on Concubine Jin.”

He instantly took out silver needles.

However, the highly regarded acupuncture seemed to have little effect on the detoxification.

Concubine Jin continued to cough up blood non-stop.

Her pain was extreme, her hands clutching her stomach, curled up on the bed, her face turning green and purple, moaning in pain.

She completely lost her usual grace, plumpness, and elegance.

The heartbroken Emperor also shed tears and turned to shout at Jiang Ning, “Did you or did you not poison Concubine Jin? Speak up! If you don’t tell the truth, I will execute your entire family!”

Jiang Ning was shaken.

Did he still remember that the Jiang family also included his white moonlight, Lin Zizi?

Who said that the Emperor’s true love was Lin Zizi, and Concubine Jin was just a replacement for her?

Looking at it this way, his true love must be Concubine Jin.

Seeing that she didn’t utter a word, Li Hongyuan thought she was frightened, and spoke up, “Emperor Father, don’t be angry. In my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the Princess Consort. There were many people around when she was cooking, and Xiaoqian and I also ate the same food as Concubine Mother. Furthermore, I personally brought the food from the kitchen. If anything, I am more suspicious.”

The Emperor’s eyes were practically spitting fire, “Crown Prince, did you do anything?!”

Li Hongyuan frowned, “Despite our poor relationship, Concubine Mother and I are still mother and son. I would never harm her. Emperor Father, your concern is making you irrational. Instead of suspecting me and the Princess Consort, it’s better to investigate the people around Concubine Mother.” “What are you waiting for? Go and investigate! Seeing your mother like this and you can still remain so calm, it’s simply inconceivable!” The Emperor was furious.

Concubine Jin continued to moan in pain.

The palace maids brought medicine over, but she waved her hand and knocked it over..
