LOVE OR DESTINY

"After you drink it, you won't feel any pain."

Xiao Tan cynically heard it. Won't feel any pain? It seemed like this poison had already been tested by the palace physician himself.

"Cheng Cheng, if there's a next life, I won't let you off easily. I'll be a man and you'll be my woman. At that time, you'll be tormented."

Xiao Tan was about to drink it, when suddenly Lian Cheng's voice rebuked him. Lian Cheng walked quickly towards him then dismissed the poisonous wine from his hands.

"Cheng'er, what are you doing?"

"It depends on what Grandma does."

The Emperor also came at that very moment and confronted the despicable deeds of the Queen Mother just now. Did the Queen Mother want to poison the 8th Prince's Wife and not consider the laws of her kingdom?

The Queen Mother claimed that she did so because she had no other choice. This was the only way to save Lian Cheng's life.

The Emperor admitted that he had been told by the previous Emperor that the Soul Suppressing Pearl would only acknowledge one master, and that it would not be able to be moved.

Before he died, he secretly gave the Soul Suppressing Pearl to the Qu family and told them to consider it a family heirloom. The previous emperor had predicted that the pearl lord would appear in the Qu family.

"But, the Crown Prince told me that Soul Suppressing Pearls can prolong a person's life."

"The Crown Prince only used the Queen Mother to help him kill."

Feeling deceived, the Queen Mother immediately cursed Yi Huai in annoyance. He had not expected that Yi Huai could be this cruel.

The Queen Mother did not understand what this meant. The emperor ordered the guards to bring the man in and the man turned out to be Eunuch Li. The Queen Mother was surprised, but she tried to remain calm, pretending not to understand what this all meant.

"Omong empty! This servant has already confessed everything! From the attempted murder of Cheng'er and his wife back then to today, I've clearly known Mother's involvement in it."

The Queen Mother could no longer dwell. The Emperor ordered the guards to drag Eunuch Li out and let the Queen Mother be exiled to the Separate Palace and no one would be allowed to visit her without the Emperor's permission.

The Queen Mother was also led away. He had glanced at Lian Cheng, but Lian Cheng only silently looked at him with disappointment and anger.

The emperor told Lian Cheng to bring Xiao Tan home and told the bodyguards to call Yi Huai.

Yi Huai was summoned to face the Emperor who directly ordered him to kneel. Yi Huai refused, what was he wrong? The Emperor was upset and confronted him, was the Queen Mother trying to poison Tan Er because of Yi Huai?

"Did you plan everything?"

Yi Huai relaxed, The Emperor is smart as well. Yes, he did it. The Emperor was never angry, the Emperor himself forced him to do this, so the Emperor should not blame him.

"I think it's better that Father hand over the throne to me early. It's possible that I can still maintain the loving relationship between parent and child."

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered his soldiers to capture Yi Huai. But strangely, none of the soldiers moved according to the Emperor's orders.

The emperor understood everything. Yi Huai even dared to do this while he was in the villa? Yi Huai arrogantly claimed that his people already controlled the entire palace.
