Chapter 272 Princess Duan dies of illness

Aunt Zhou was still hesitant, but her face was obviously more moved.

Mrs. Chang felt very happy when she saw that she was somewhat moved by her.

The two then chatted some more.

At noon, Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhuang brought out the food.

Mrs. Chang stayed for a meal, and before leaving, she told the third prince how to escape from the cicada's shell.

Unexpectedly, the third prince actually said that he had thought of it a long time ago.

But there is no rush now. He will accompany Aunt Zhou first and wait to send Zhou Ruiyuan back to Beijing in the future. Then he will leave the capital and stay with Aunt Zhou forever.

Mrs. Chang listened with mixed feelings and felt a little sad, but she was also very moved. ?.?????.ℂ??

At the same time, I was also very envious, envious that her best friend could be treated so lovingly by someone like the prince.

Mrs. Chang said goodbye to them and left. When she returned to her mansion, she wrote a letter to her eldest son in Beijing about her adopted daughter, which was considered a formal recognition of her adopted daughter.

After sending Mrs. Chang away, Aunt Zhou felt much more relaxed. She did not expect that she could get back together with her, which was considered to have fulfilled her wish.

The third prince came to her side and said, "She probably won't come back to Beijing again, and you will spend a lot of time together in the future."

Aunt Zhou raised her head and looked at him, thinking about Mrs. Chang's words and one thing she was sure of.

"Yan Sheng, let's go into the house."

The third prince was startled when he heard this.

Yan Sheng is his given name. Aunt Zhou used to call him this name before she got married.

He was happy in his heart and quickly responded: "Alas!"

Aunt Zhou turned around and entered the room, preparing to clear the dishes on the table.

The third prince quickly rushed forward and collected the things on the table.

Aunt Zhou looked at his busy appearance and smiled unconsciously.

At the same time, in the palace, Princess Duan was seriously ill and was only breathing.

The emperor hurried to her room.

Concubine Duan's face turned pale, and she finally asked what she had always wanted to ask him, "Have you ever thought of me in your heart for so many years?"

The emperor made no reply.

Concubine Duan suddenly smiled, "I know it was you who poisoned me."

The emperor was surprised, "You know?"

Concubine Duan coughed a few times and spit out a mouthful of blood, "Yes, I have always known that since you want me to die so much, I will fulfill your wish."

The emperor panicked.

He always thought that Mrs. Duan was just using him, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Duan really had feelings for him.

Concubine Duan continued: "I originally wanted to help you choose a suitable prince before leaving, but unfortunately I can't bear it anymore."

The emperor stepped forward and held her hand, "Since you know that I poisoned you, why do you still take it?!"

Concubine Duan smiled and said: "I will give you whatever you want, let alone my life. Your Majesty, I treat you sincerely. All I do is for your own good."

"It's a pity that you never have me in your heart..."

The emperor's body stiffened as he listened, and his heart felt a little sour.

However, he didn't know that the reason why Concubine Duan said this was just to take advantage of his soft heart and set up the puppet prince before leaving.

Once the crown prince is established, if he sends an emperor to stab him to death, then only the puppet emperor will be left in Xuanyue Kingdom, and then it will be easy for Beidi to attack.

She didn't love the emperor at all, nor did she love the late emperor. She was a trickster through and through.

The reason why she continued to drink the poison was because she had not long to live. She would die if she didn't eat, and she would die if she ate. It was better to take a gamble at the end.

Concubine Duan died under the emperor's sad eyes.

The emperor looked at her body and finally shed tears.
