It's almost time to wear it. The soft beauty relies on the child-bearing system to favor her

[The Ghost Doctor is the best poison doctor in the world. He can use poison to cure diseases or kill people. His whereabouts are erratic, his personality is moody, and he is difficult to get along with.]

The system looked up the information and replied.

"Then is the follower who suddenly appeared beside him really Su Song?"

[This system cannot confirm this yet. 】

Su Wanti lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. No matter whether it was true or not, there was at least a clue.

When the ghost doctor arrives in the capital and she meets the attendant, everything will become clear.

The capital city was still as bustling and lively as usual, but the imperial palace was dead silent, like the calm before a storm.

This tranquility makes people who are in it feel suffocated, depressed and uneasy.

The palace gates were tightly closed and guarded by stiff, stern-faced soldiers; not even a fly could get in.

All the palace people were locked up in various palaces. The doors were nailed shut with wood and soldiers stood guard around them. If anyone sneaked out, they would be beheaded with knives, with extreme cruelty.

Shang Xingjian sneaked into the palace through a secret passage.

This secret passage leads directly to the Qinzheng Hall.

Emperor Ning was waiting for him in the palace.

Today, Emperor Ning suddenly had a headache and was unconscious.

After his pain eased, the palace servants who served him looked unusual. Upon asking, he realized that his body had become stiff when he had a headache just now.

Emperor Ning remembered Prince Rui's words, became alert, and immediately called him into the palace.

"I clearly took the antidote you gave me, so why am I still experiencing the symptoms just now?" Emperor Ning did not doubt the eldest prince, he was just confused.

Shang Xingjian remembered that when Su Wanti gave him the antidote, she told him that Emperor Ning had been poisoned for some time and there were heavy toxins in his body. This antidote could remove most of the toxins, but a small amount of toxins would still remain.

The remaining toxins will be slowly metabolized through the body's circulation and will not turn Emperor Ning into a zombie.

"It may be the residual toxins that caused the headache." Shang Xingjian said in a deep voice.

"Father, when the matter is settled, I will ask Princess Huide to come to the palace to show you."

Emperor Ning smiled and said, "Okay."

They all knew what they were going to face next and what kind of bloody storm would happen in the palace, but they both remained relaxed and calm.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ping requests an audience."

"Let him in." Emperor Ning's smile disappeared and he sat upright on the dragon throne.

The second prince, Prince Ping, was wearing armor and had a long sword at his waist. Behind him were several soldiers, some of whom had pale faces and stiff movements.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong and murderous aura rushed in.

The jade pendant in Shang Xingjian's hand flashed darkly, reminding its owner that there was evil spirit approaching and it was dangerous!

Shang Xingjian tightly grasped the jade pendant as Su Wanti's smiling face flashed before his eyes. The sadness and regret caused by the fratricide between brothers disappeared, replaced by the determination to protect Daning and the people he loved.

Emperor Ning's gaze fell on those strange soldiers, and his eyes became colder.

When Prince Ping saw that Emperor Ning looked normal, a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

This doubt lasted only a moment. He trusted his mother's ability. She could refine a zombie army for him in the capital. Even Xu Denggao, who was far away in Luzhou, could be controlled by her and refined into hundreds of zombie warriors.

It’s just my father, no need to mention it.

Today, my mother used her blood and power to perform a catalytic spell, and my father should have turned into a zombie. But the true dragon emperor is different from ordinary people after all, so his zombie appearance should be different from that of ordinary zombies, King Ping thought.

"Father, please write down the edict that will pass the throne to me and your abdication edict now."

King Ping used the most polite words to make the most unreasonable demands.

His mother burned his hair into ashes and added them to the potion for his father.

My father will obey his orders completely.

At this time, Prince Ping stood up straight, and he glared at Shang Xingjian who was standing opposite him. He raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Father, after you finish writing the edict, you will order Prince Rui to be killed."

Emperor Ning was so angry at his words that he laughed, and picked up a pen and threw it at him.

"You are so confused!"

The pen was dipped in cinnabar and thrown on King Ping's face, leaving a red mark.

King Ping was shocked and realized that something was wrong. His father had not turned into a zombie yet!

There will be no problem with my mother's magic, it must be that the time is not right. If I wait a little longer, my father will completely turn into a zombie!

The top priority now is to control the palace and keep his father in his hands.

When the poison takes effect and my father is completely transformed into a zombie, and he writes the edict of succession, then our mission will be accomplished!

Prince Ping's eyes sparkled with ambition, and he issued an order to the soldiers behind him, "All soldiers, listen up, tie up everyone in the Qinzheng Palace, except father."

His voice was high and stirring, echoing in the hall.

"The general will obey your orders!"

"Ho ho-"

The living people and zombies behind him all responded.

At this moment, King Ping felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Suddenly, the door of the Qinzheng Palace opened, and the Royal Guards strode in. In just a few seconds, they had controlled all of Prince Ping's soldiers.

King Ping was confused. Weren't these royal guards locked up by his zombie soldiers?

How come he appeared in Qinzheng Hall?

Emperor Ning looked at the dazed Second Prince and didn't want to say anything.

He waved his hand and called the palace servants, "Go and bring Concubine Li here."

Concubine Li was carried over by two palace servants, followed by a palace maid with shackles on her hands and feet.

"Empress Li is here!" The palace maid put down an old woman with white hair and a haggard look.

King Ping widened his eyes in astonishment, not daring to believe it at all, "You are my mother? No! You are not my mother. My mother is a beauty, she doesn't look like an old witch like you at all!"

Concubine Li had been exhausted of her energy and blood by two consecutive spells. Her body was also severely damaged because all the zombies she had personally refined were killed. She was on the verge of death.

Now she is just holding on to her last breath, just to see her son ascend the throne.

Now, the plan has failed and everything is over. Concubine Li closed her eyes and waited quietly for death to come.

Emperor Ning sighed when he saw Concubine Li's current appearance.

At this moment, his feelings towards Concubine Li were very complicated. They met when they were young, and he admired her appearance and felt sorry for her life experience.

After ascending the throne, he made her his concubine and treated her well.

Unexpectedly, she has never let go of her resentment for the destruction of her country.

"Concubine Li, do you have anything else to say?" Emperor Ning's voice was a little bitter.

Concubine Li remained silent.

Prince Ping knelt on the ground as if he had gone mad, kowtowing frantically, "Father, she is not my mother, she is an old witch. She used witchcraft to occupy my mother's body, bewitched me, and made me commit a big mistake! Father, please forgive me, I didn't want to do this, it was this old witch who forced me to do this!"

After hearing what her son said, Concubine Li no longer had any worries in her heart. She tilted her head and died.

The maid standing behind her realized that Concubine Li had left. She looked calm, saluted Emperor Ning, and said:

"The queen told me that she wanted to go home, to the back garden of Cangshui Palace. She wanted to see if the swing her father made for her was still there, and if the flowers her mother planted for her were still blooming."

Emperor Ning lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Pass on my decree. Prince Ping has rebelled and has been demoted to a commoner. I order him to send Concubine Li back to Cangshui for burial and to keep vigil for Concubine Li. He is not allowed to step out of Cangshui again."

After Cangshui was defeated by Daning, it became a small county town on the southwestern border of Daning.

"Father, I was forced to do this. I don't want to be a commoner! Father, I don't want to go to Cangshui!"

Prince Ping, who was demoted to a commoner, was forcibly dragged out by the Imperial Guards. What awaited him was a lifetime of poverty and loneliness.

Concubine Li's maid bowed her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and rushed towards the pillar in the hall as fast as an arrow.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere and the person died instantly.

"Let her accompany Concubine Li back." Emperor Ning rubbed his forehead, a hint of weakness in his voice.

The palace was cleaned up quickly as if nothing had happened.

The soldiers who rebelled were all exiled, and the zombie soldiers had their limbs and heads chopped off and were taken to the barren mountains outside the capital and burned.

There was peace in the palace. The palace servants soon forgot the thrilling scene and began to busily prepare for a new palace banquet.

It is said that this palace banquet was specially held for Prince Rui, and the Queen wanted to choose a suitable Princess Rui from among the noble ladies in the capital.
