Chapter 135 Past events (2)

Eventually, the event that forced Empress Shangguan to take action finally happened. Prince Jing's mother was pregnant. This news was like a bolt from the blue for Empress Shangguan. Because Prince Jing's mother was usually favored by the emperor, the emperor turned a blind eye to those things that defamed her reputation. Even though she couldn't write now, the emperor didn't ignore her.

In the eyes of Empress Shangguan, this is undoubtedly a huge threat to her position. She knows very well that once Prince Jing's mother successfully gives birth to a prince, the child will surely become a strong contender for the throne. And Empress Shangguan herself, despite being the queen of a country, has never been able to give birth to an heir as she wished. For this reason, she has sought medical treatment everywhere and suffered a lot. Now, seeing that Prince Jing's mother is about to give birth to a prince, how can she sit idly by? If Prince Jing's mother gets there first, then her position will probably be difficult to stabilize. She must stop Prince Jing's mother, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. So, she took action.

After Prince Jing's mother was found to be pregnant, Empress Shangguan immediately brought many precious supplements to her bedroom. These supplements were rare in the palace and were extremely beneficial to the body. The queen was not a stupid person. She naturally knew that it was very stupid to take advantage of these supplements. So, she chose another strategy: verbal suggestion and psychological warfare.

While chatting with Concubine De, the Queen seemingly mentioned something unintentionally: some evidence on Prince Jing's grandfather fell into the hands of the Shangguan family. This news was like a bolt from the blue, and Concubine De turned pale instantly. Seeing that this was beginning to have an effect, Queen Shangguan raised her hand and twisted it, "Sister, you still have to do your best in the palace. There is actually an ant, which is so shameful that it has crawled onto my hand. But don't worry, I can crush it to death with just a flick of my finger. Sister, you still have to be more careful."

From that moment on, Prince Jing's mother began to fall into endless anxiety. She was worried and gloomy all day long, as if she was shrouded by an invisible pressure. Every day, she lived in fear, worried that her father would be implicated because of her pregnancy, and even the fate of the entire family might be affected.

Meanwhile, the queen was secretly pleased with herself. She knew that this psychological tactic was more effective than any poison or conspiracy. By spreading such rumors, she successfully planted a seed of fear in the heart of Concubine De, making her unable to sleep or eat, and always in a state of tension.

Next, Empress Shangguan began to plan how to cause substantial harm to her family in order to prove the truth. She decided to collect evidence through her in-laws and conveyed an important message: let them go all out to find the facts of the King Jing's in-laws breaking the law and discipline. If they can't find any, they should fabricate some evidence. In short, they must be put to death.

After a while, Prince Jing's mother became increasingly weak due to excessive worry. At this time, Empress Shangguan's scheme gradually succeeded, and her maternal family successfully found some unfavorable evidence about Prince Jing's maternal grandfather's family.

"Sister, for the sake of the fetus in your belly, please have mercy on me!" Prince Jing's mother finally pleaded with the Queen helplessly.

Empress Shangguan sneered and said, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"
