QT: TPE Chapter 2.3

In her past life, she wanted to kill Princess Minghua and seek revenge.

So, she chose to marry Li Xu. She wanted to become the Crown Princess, then the Empress, and to wield power. She also wanted to kill Princess Minghua.

But Li Xu was a more venomous snake than Princess Minghua. He was the Emperor’s adopted son.

His Majesty had no sons. Normal people at this age should be holding their grandchildren, but the Emperor had no sons at all, only Princess Minghua.

At first, His Majesty was able to restrain his ministers from adopting an heir, but as time went on, the ministers could no longer sit still.

The Emperor’s harem still had no concubines who were pregnant. In the end, the Emperor faced reality and adopted a prince from the imperial clan, making him the crown prince.

In her previous life, Xu Lingyi was the Crown Princess.

The Crown Prince faced significant obstacles in ascending to the throne. The Emperor disliked him, and other members of the imperial clan were also eyeing his position. He was not secure in his post.

The Emperor could make him the crown prince, or he could replace him.

In the imperial court, power still rests in the hands of His Majesty. The adoption of heirs was only because the Emperor was unable to have children.

The Crown Prince also knew that his position was in jeopardy, and since she wanted to kill Princess Minghua, both sides quickly reached an agreement.

She and the Xu family would help him ascend the throne.

He would help them kill Princess Minghua.

But the first thing he did after taking power was not to kill Princess Minghua and fulfill his promise to her, but to exterminate the entire Xu family and depose his empress.

She and her unborn child were also sentenced to death.

Thinking of the past, Xu Lingyi felt boundless hatred.

She approached the wrong person. She only knew that Princess Minghua was of noble status, so she went to the Crown Prince.

The idea itself was correct, but the Crown Prince was even more ruthless.

Now, her enemies are the Crown Prince and Princess Minghua.

And, the only person in the world with more power and higher status than the Crown Prince and Princess is the Emperor.

In her past life, she had no confidence that she could rely on the Emperor or use his power to eliminate her enemies.

But she was confident in this life, as she had this secret weapon.

“If I fail again this time, I’ll accept it; it’s my incompetence.”

The Emperor had no heir, but the brocade pouch in her hand contained a fertility pill.

Everything will change once she gives birth to a prince; the Princess will no longer be the Emperor’s only child.

Her child will inevitably be the heir to the throne, and the Emperor will be even more eager than she is to send her child to the throne without hesitation.

Then Li Xu will forever lose the possibility of ascending the throne.

Even to protect her child’s interests, Xu Lingyi believed that the Emperor would take the initiative to clear away all obstacles, at which point Li Xu would have no choice but to die.

Then, her first enemy had been dealt with.

As for Princess Minghua, all her confidence came from the fact that she was the Emperor’s only child.

That’s why she dared to act recklessly.

Once her son is older, she can kill Princess Minghua.

Xu Lingyi thought that there was no need to rush in dealing with enemies; all that mattered was success.

Mother, Sisters-in-law, please wait a little longer. I will personally escort them down.
