Chapter 256 She is a good candidate to become a Gu woman.
Emperor Taihe looked at Empress Chen warily: "Are you a Gu Master?"
Empress Chen scoffed, "Your Majesty, didn't you already know this? You even hired a Gu Master to deal with me, causing me to be devoured by the Gu. Why are you pretending to be clueless now?"
Emperor Taihe did not answer but asked, "So, you became what you are now because of the poisonous insect's backlash?"
Empress Chen's smile grew even colder. "Your Majesty, are you joking? If it was simply a backlash from the poisonous insect, how could I have become like this?"
It was obvious that my vitality was devoured by the longevity Gu, which is why I instantly aged dozens of years!
Your Majesty, in order to deal with me, actually cooperated with the Saint of Southern Border. Don’t you know that this move is courting disaster?
The Southern Border Saint's Gu technique is incredibly skilled, far surpassing mine. Your Majesty, by cooperating with her, must have already been poisoned by her, and you're still foolishly being kept in the dark by her!"
Emperor Taihe was deeply shocked, but he tried to remain calm. "You also know about the Saintess of Southern Border? And what is the Longevity Gu?"
Empress Chen carefully examined Emperor Taihe's complexion, but unfortunately her vision was blurry and she could not see Emperor Taihe's face at all. She could only confirm his identity by his clothes and figure.
"Your Majesty, don't you know anything?"
She asked tentatively, "The longevity Gu is a sacred object from Southern Xinjiang, and only the saints of Southern Xinjiang throughout the ages can cultivate it.
This Gu not only needs to be fed with the blood and essence of the Saint of Southern Border, but also needs to devour the vitality of living people in order to be successfully cultivated.
However, its effects are also quite remarkable; it can not only heal wounds but also prolong life.
Such precious Gu worms were only enjoyed by the emperors of Southern Xinjiang throughout the ages."
When Empress Chen said this, she suddenly laughed strangely, "If Your Majesty can capture the heart of the Southern Border Saint, you may not be unable to enjoy this longevity Gu.
However, the saints of Southern Xinjiang are much more domineering than those of the Central Plains. The men they like must be devoted to them, otherwise they will be devoured by the poisonous insects.
If your majesty desires the longevity Gu in the hands of the Southern Border Saint, be careful."
Emperor Taihe had a gloomy face and said nothing.
He suspected that Chen Huan deliberately told him about the existence of the longevity Gu, wanting him to snatch the longevity Gu from the people in southern Xinjiang.
If there really were such a magical poisonous insect in the world, it would be hard for him not to be tempted.
But those people from southern Xinjiang are not easy to deal with either.
Even if the longevity Gu really existed, it would not be easy to snatch it from the Southern Xinjiang Emperor and the Saint.
Chen Huan asked him to steal the longevity Gu. Did he want the two countries to go to war and cause great suffering to the people?
This woman is really crazy!
"I don't believe there really is a longevity Gu in this world. Besides, I don't know any Southern Border Saintess.
You don't have much time left, so why bother sitting here with idle thoughts and trying to mislead people?
I came here to see you just to tell you that there was a fire in Duke Cheng'en's mansion the day before yesterday, and Chen Shou faked his death and escaped.
Do you know where he will escape to?
Didn’t you say that the Chen family killed your entire family and made you learn poison and witchcraft to make you infertile?
Since you hate the Chen family so much, why not tell me all the news you know about the Chen family.
In exchange, I can avenge you. How do you want Chen Kai and Han to die? "
"You said Chen Shou faked his own death and escaped?" Empress Chen was startled at first, then suddenly laughed, "That's exactly what he would do."
As she spoke, she looked at Emperor Taihe and asked with a strange smile, "Your Majesty, do you know that the Chen family is not only cunning but also likes to occupy other people's nests?
Chen Shou was born with a good appearance and a pair of charming peach blossom eyes. It was difficult for any woman to resist his charm.
He used those eyes to seduce many women, cuckolding many people and making them foolishly raise bastards... just like your majesty did before, treating a bastard as a treasure and even wanting to make him the crown prince."
Emperor Taihe felt that these words were particularly harsh. Chen Huan was definitely doing this on purpose! This woman was deliberately trying to piss him off!
After enduring it again and again, he finally suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and continued to ask: "Do you know the identities of those people?"
"How could I possibly know about this? Your Majesty, you know that the Chen family has been wary of me since the beginning and has never considered me a family member.
They tricked me into making poison and raising insects, and said that when I entered the palace and became the queen, and gave birth to a son with Chen Shou, this child would become the crown prince!
As a result, I endured the nausea and fed those bugs and prepared the poison powder, but in the end I lost my fertility and will never be able to give birth to my own child!
They never thought of letting me give birth to the child, they just used me as a tool!"
When she spoke to the end, Empress Chen's voice became particularly shrill, and every word sounded like a tear.
She laughed crazily, but her heart was filled with sadness.
In fact, she had figured everything out as early as when she learned about her life experience.
Since she is not a daughter of the Chen family, she has a blood feud with the Chen family.
Naturally, the Chen family would not allow her to give birth to their own bloodline.
What's more, if she entered the palace and became the queen, and if she was able to give birth, especially if she got pregnant with Emperor Taihe's child, there was no guarantee that she would not change her mind.
Only because she is unable to give birth will she work obediently for the Chen family.
Unfortunately, even though she knew it, she still couldn't forget her feelings for Chen Shou.
That man is truly a vixen. Once you fall into his clutches, there's no way you'll escape.
Even though she knew that the Chen family had a deep hatred for her, when she learned that Chen Shou was bullied, she couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to avenge him.
She even believed Chen Shou's sweet words, thinking that no matter how many women he had, she would still be the most important and special one in his heart.
Thinking about it now, all her past infatuation and love were nothing but self-deception.
She is unable to have children and has lost all her family members.
If she lost Chen Shou's love again, she would really have nothing.
Unfortunately, fake is fake after all.
No matter how nice Chen Shou had said before, it was just to trick her into being obedient.
When something happened between her and Chen Jiacai, Chen Shou ran away without mercy and left her.
Since he was so ruthless, she didn't need to be polite to him anymore.
Empress Chen spoke quietly, "Although I don't know Chen Shou's whereabouts, I do know a secret: Chen Shou is not Chen Kai's biological son! He's just a bastard!"
Emperor Taihe was shocked: "How is this possible?"
"How is it impossible? Even your majesty's prince could be swapped out for a bastard, let alone Chen Kai's son?
Your Majesty, have you never doubted it? Chen Kai was born ordinary, how could he have given birth to someone as good-looking as me and Chen Shou?
I am not a daughter of the Chen family, and Chen Shou is naturally not a son of the Chen family. He is just a bastard born from Han's affair with someone!
Unfortunately, I don’t know who Han’s adulterer is, but I can imagine that he must have a good-looking face.
The funny thing is that Chen Kai doted on Chen Shou because of his good looks, but he was particularly disgusted with those illegitimate sons who looked like him but were plain-looking.
If Your Majesty wants to find him, why not ask Han? That Xu Maochun should also know a lot about the Chen family.
Emperor Taihe was horrified, but his tone remained calm: "Of course I'll ask, do you have anything else to say?"
Empress Chen looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, do you know that the fat girl named Xie Ying is a good candidate to be a Gu woman?"
