Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 958

Chapter 958 Exchange Conditions

The Empress Dowager said lightly. It seed that she had never been the sworn enemy of Shangguan Dongzhu, but a stranger.

There was no hatred or familiarity.

After experiencing all of this, there didn’t seem to be so many irreconcilable conflicts between the Empress Dowager and Shangguan Dongzhu.

Now, one was the most powerful woman in the world, and the other beca a prisoner.

But in the end, all that was left was sadness for both of them.

After all, they were both rely weapons used by that man.

“That’s right. From the day I have conferred the title of the Empress, I had thought that I would take this position. However, it was all in vain in the end.”

There was regret in Shangguan Dongzhu’s tone, but Lin ngya thought it sounded more like she was freed from a nightmare.

Perhaps the Shangguan family and the Imperial Palace were just a dream for Shangguan Dongzhu and the Empress Dowager.

A dream, in which they were dood to go through all of this since they were born.

“You are Shuqing’s child, right?”

Shangguan Dongzhu turned around and looked at Lin ngya.

Lin ngya nodded slightly. However, she thought that Shangguan Dongzhu was asking while knowing the answer.

“Hahaha... What a big dream! Just a big dream!”

All of a sudden, Shangguan Dongzhu burst into laughter and started coughing. She did not calm down a little until her face flushed.

However, the light in her eyes was gloomier.

“You can leave now. I want to talk to the child alone.”

The Empress Dowager was worried. After all, she was crystal clear about the grudges between Shangguan Dongzhu and Lin ngya.

But Lin ngya had a hunch that the forr Empress must know a lot of secrets.

Then she gave the Empress Dowager a reassuring look.

She asked Baisu to escort the Empress Dowager to leave with Jinyue. Soon, only she and Shangguan Dongzhu were left in the room.

Under the dim light in the room, Shangguan Dongzhu’s slightly flushed face looked morbid.

Lin ngya knew that the dicine that Princess Tiancheng fed her had already done harm to her health.

The reason why Shangguan Dongzhu still looked like a normal person was maybe that the forr Empress had remained so ans for herself.

“I am envious of your mother.”

Shangguan Dongzhu’s voice was soft and gentle. She seed to have been back to the mories of her youth.

“When she married your father, I just gave birth to my son. At that ti, though I was the empress, I was very lonely. Those noblewon knew nothing but to please . Every one of the imperial concubines in the palace coveted my position, so I had to keep fighting and snatching to protect my child, keep my status, and defend my maternal family. It was not until I t your mother that I knew there was another way to live in the world.”

Lin ngya once heard a saying that all bad people seed to have their reasons.

However, those reasons were no excuse for them to do bad things.

Perhaps Shangguan Dongzhu was right. For those honors, she had to discard a woman’s timidity, tenderness, and compassion.

But she brought misfortune to others finally.

Thus, she had only herself to bla for becoming what she was now.

“At first, I thought she was beautiful and elegant, but it was a pity that she was not from a noble family. Later, I found that the noble ladies, who used to be proud of their appearance and bearing, were all overshadowed by her dazzling light. I didn’t realize how ridiculous I was until she told who she was. It turned out that she was a princess. No wonder she was so outstanding that others felt ashad of themselves in front of her.”

Shangguan Dongzhu seed to want to pour out all the words she had held back over the years.

Lin ngya had to listen quietly. Anyway, it was her mother who was being praised. Although she felt a little bored, she could not help but feel a little proud.

“I really want to befriend her. She is so beautiful, kind, and smart as if she could see through all the false in the world. I regarded her as my only best friend. You may not know that I was happier than anyone else when she gave birth to your elder brother. But in the end, she died in my hands.”

Looking at Shangguan Dongzhu laughing and crying from ti to ti, Lin ngya could not help feeling a chill.

No matter how sincere Shangguan Dongzhu’s words sounded, Lin ngya’s mother was murdered by her.

She did not expect that Shangguan Dongzhu would cry her heart out all of a sudden.

There was only deep sadness in her eyes when she looked at Lin ngya.

“I really didn’t want to kill her, but your mother begged in tears, saying that she must die. Child, I didn’t an to hurt you. Before Qing married into our family, I had warned her not to treat you harshly. I even thought about taking your elder brother and you to the palace to raise. But I didn’t expect that Qing... She would be so ruthless. Child, after all, I failed to live up to you.”

Lin ngya’s eyes were filled with coldness completely.

She curled up her lips into a sneer.

“Not exactly. What you failed to live up to was just my mother’s sincerity to take you as her best friend. Even if you had so kindness to and my brother when Shangguan Qing married into the family, it had all gone with the ambition that you, your son, and your daughter had, right? You put into Long Tianhao’s arms when my father was not around. We both know what you were up to. So now, you don’t have to say these hypocritical words for yourself. I just ask you one thing. What are you going to tell ?”

With tears in her eyes, Shangguan Dongzhu looked at the woman in front of her and felt a little strange.

Although they had very similar appearances, the character of the woman before her was much colder than that of her mother.

Shangguan Dongzhu slowly wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes and thought, “She is right. My token behavior is really ridiculous.”

Slowly, the sadness on her face disappeared, replaced by the indifference and elegance that she had when she was the Empress.

After all, that mask had been maintained for decades, and it could not be taken off anymore.

“I hope you can spare my children. I know that what they did was as inexcusable as mine. But at the end of the day, please keep them alive. You can take away their status, even destroy their faces, but please, let them survive well.”

Lin ngya knew that the forr empress would not tell her of past feuds without cause.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the way she looked at Shangguan Dongzhu was with a little ruthlessly mockery.

“What are the conditions? I never wanted to let go of your son and your daughter. If you want them to survive, you should at least offer so worthy conditions for exchange, shouldn’t you?”

Lin ngya looked very serious. She was not affected by the so-called “the pasts” told by the forr empress.

Shangguan Dongzhu sighed and then said faintly.

“You don’t know who the leader of the Candle Dragon Cult is, do you?”

Lin ngya raised her eyebrow and looked at her. She knew that Shangguan Dongzhu had a connection with Candle Dragon Cult, but even Qinghu didn’t know the leader’s secret, let alone Shangguan Dongzhu, who had been living in the palace all year round. How could she know it?

Shangguan Dongzhu took off an object from her neck and put it on the square table in front of her.

“You must have known that Ru’er forced to take a lot of dicines. If it were an ordinary person, he or she would have gone crazy because of the dicine. I haven’t gone crazy yet because of this.”

Lin ngya picked up the object with confusion, noticing that it was a cylinder similar to turquoise.

When she looked at it closer, a delicate fragrance wafted into her nose, imdiately clearing her mind.

A na automatically popped up in the Shen Nung system.

“Immortal Pill. It can keep people sane under any circumstances.”

Lin ngya scratched it lightly with her nails, and soon a scratch appeared on the bead. However, it disappeared very quickly.

According to the music score for the green stringed instrunts, this object had an unknown origin and rarely existed in the world.

Even though it was only the size of a fingernail, it could be used for a few centuries without dissipating.

No wonder Shangguan Dongzhu was totally unaffected by the poison.

“This is the Shangguan family’s heirloom. When it was handed down from ancestors, it was slightly larger than this. Later, when I entered the palace, my family was afraid that soone would harm , so they handed this heirloom to secretly. Maybe it was for this reason that the Shangguan family mbers all went crazy. This was the reason why the leader ca to back then.”

Lin ngya looked at the Immortal Wine in her hand in surprise and thought, “Why does the leader need it while he is fine?”

Following that, Shangguan Dongzhu looked a little hesitant and talked about the eting between her and the leader.

“It dated back to when I just beca the Empress. One day, a maid told secretly that she had a way to help retain the emperor’s favor forever. Back then, several imperial concubines attempted to replace with His Majesty’s favor to them. I agreed because I was at a young age. As expected, half a month later, those won were either crazy or sick, and they could no longer sleep with the Emperor. I tried to find the maid and questioned her if she did it. But I was inford that the maid died a few months ago. I thought that I had t a ghost, so I didn’t tell anyone else. Until one night, the maid showed up in front of again, and this ti, she brought several people with her.”

Shangguan Dongzhu had not beco hard-hearted back then.

When the rumored dead maid showed up again, she was freaking out.

However, the maid explained to Shangguan Dongzhu that she was just using this identity to do things, so she had to disguise her look. Shangguan Dongzhu’s fast-beating heart did not calm down a little until then.

Afterward, when Shangguan Dongzhu t the master behind the scenes under the maid’s threat and entice, she was startled.

“That person was wrapped in a black cloak. I didn’t see his face, but I saw his eyes. They were pure black, like the color of hell.”
