Chapter 216
“Sing, you must avenge our Mother!” Qing Fei laid on the bed, looking at her daughter who was sitting beside her, applying the medicine for her. She scolded her with a twisted expression, “You must kill the crown prince and make him live a life worse than death!”
Shang Xiange was originally using the ointment to treat Qingfei’s face, but upon hearing Qingfei’s words, his hands suddenly stopped. His pair of innocent and domineering eyes stared deeply at Qingfei, causing her to feel a burst of fear.
“Song? Why aren’t you saying anything! ” Qing Fei looked at her daughter discontentedly and said, “Help your grandfather and kill the crown prince as soon as possible. No, you can’t kill him, give the crown prince to your mother, your mother will definitely torture the crown prince. How dare she treat me like this, she deserves to die!”
Shang Xiange put down the ointment in his hand and took the ginseng soup from his servant girl’s hands. The porcelain spoon slowly stirred in the ginseng soup, and then a spoonful of the ginseng soup was handed to Qing Fei’s lips, “Mother, quickly drink the ginseng soup!”
Qing Fei was angry to begin with, but now that her daughter wasn’t willing to agree to her request, she directly knocked over the ginseng soup. The scalding ginseng soup sprinkled on Shang Xiange’s white hands and her dress, but Shang Xiange did not seem to be angry, not even dodging.
Qing Fei also didn’t expect the soup to spill out, but seeing Shang Xiange’s appearance, she couldn’t help but feel angry. Ginseng soup! Sing, Mother does not want to drink ginseng soup now, Mother only wants the crown prince to receive his retribution! ”
Shang Xiange had been obediently sitting by the bedside the whole time, listening to all kinds of curses from Qing Fei. However, after a while, the servant girl came in again with the ginseng soup in her hands. Shang Xiange took the bowl of soup and saw that the servant girl slightly nodded her head and respectfully walked out towards him. She then sent the palace maids and eunuchs away.
“Mother, be good!” Just like last time, Shang Xiange handed the soup over to Qing Fei, preparing to feed her spoonful by spoonful. However, when Qing Fei prepared to turn the soup over again, this time, Shang Xiange directly reached out and grabbed Qing Fei’s hand, making it unable to struggle at all.
“Song, what are you doing? Let go of Mother! ” It was only then that she realized how strong her daughter was. She could even control her hands with one hand, and she could feel the pain in her hand. She was already starting to bruise.
As expected, Shang Xiange let go of Qing Fei, but easily took off her arms. The pain was so sudden that Qing Fei didn’t even have the chance to cry out in pain before her arms were unconscious.
Only then did Qing Fei feel that something was wrong. Even though her arm had been dislocated, she only needed to find an imperial doctor to repair it. This was an easy task. But when she saw her eldest daughter acting like this since she was young, she couldn’t believe it.
The corner of Shang Xiange’s mouth was still showing a docile smile as he watched her sit obediently against the headboard, but such a smile made Qing Fei’s hair stand on end. She couldn’t even utter a single word.
After the bowl of soup had run out, he put the bowl down with satisfaction and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the corners of Qingfei’s mouth. He said in a fawning voice, “Mother, although drinking ginseng soup everyday is a little tiresome, it doesn’t matter, from now on Mother doesn’t need to drink it anymore!”
“The song!” Qing Fei looked at her unfamiliar daughter. No matter how silly she was, she knew something was wrong with her daughter. If she did not know that this was Shang Xiange, she would have thought that her daughter had been tricked.
“Mother, is there anything you would like to ask? Although normally, Sing wouldn’t answer, but if Mother were to ask Sing about it today, Sing will definitely tell Mother about it! “(TL: Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing = Sing) While saying that, Shang Xiange placed the soft pillow behind Qing Fei’s back, allowing her to lean on more comfortably.
“Song, what happened to you?” Qing Fei probingly asked, “How can you treat Mother like this? If you care about the Mother and want her to drink the ginseng soup, that’s fine. But how can you let go of her arm? ”
Shang Xiange sat on the bedside, his face innocently replying, “What happened to me? Doesn’t Mother know? Oh, I really forgot to tell Mother from watching songs. This isn’t some soup, it’s just a chronic poison! ”
“You …” Qingfei felt that her throat was blocked by something. She would never have thought that the person she thought the most unlikely person to harm in this world would be hiding by her side. Furthermore, this person was her own daughter.
“Could it be that even the Mother has not suspected anything? ~ Is Mother suffering from angina pectoris after so many years? Is every attack very painful? Mother, do you know? Every time I see you singing such a painful song, I’m so happy! ” Shang Xiange seemed to think of the unspeakable pain that Qing Fei suffered every time, and actually laughed out loud.
“How could that be? “How could that be?” It had to be known that the habit of delivering soup had begun when Shang Xiange was 8 years old. Yes, her daughter only developed this angina when she was 8 years old, but after seeing so many imperial doctors, she really believed that this was a serious illness on her body. She didn’t expect her own daughter to poison her. But at that time, Shang Xiange was only eight years old, Qing Fei suddenly felt a chill as she looked at her daughter.
“Why not? The song had originally wanted to play slowly, but how fun would it be to watch Mother suffer everyday! But since Mother has the delusions of touching people he should not have touched, then from now on, Mother will just obediently lie here! ” Shang Liangge stood up, “Mother, it’s time for you to rest!”
“NO!” You can’t treat me like this, I’m your Mother, you’re my biological daughter! ” Only now did Consort Qing understand Shang’s meaning. When she thought about the ginseng soup she was drinking today which seemed to be much richer than usual, she suddenly felt a lingering fear.
Shang Xiange left the palace without answering, and Qing Fei slowly passed out, never to wake up. No matter how much the imperial physician investigated, it was all because of Qing Fei’s heart attack. There was no other situation, and Qing Fei also disappeared.
“Second princess!” The servant girl who was waiting there immediately stepped forward when she saw Shang Xiange walk out.
On the contrary, there was a sense of relief on her face as she thought back to what happened a long, long time ago. That was when he was very young. If his own Mother was angered in the palace, they would always come back to vent it all on him. Later, the Mother, in order to fight for the favor of his father, would often throw Shang Xiange into the snow to be frozen. The reason was for the eunuchs to report to royal father, so that he could receive Emperor Shang’s attention. Later on, in order to curry favor with his grandfather, Shang Liangge remembered that the Mother sent him to train in the forest and fed him medicine that was harmful to him in order to gain his grandfather’s trust and support.
But she was too young, so she planned for a long time, and that was to poison. Every time she saw Qing Fei drink the ginseng soup and her heart attack, she would always be in a good mood, but from today onwards, there would no longer be a Mother she hated.

The horse carriage drove on the road slowly, and inside the horse carriage were Leng Yufeng and Shang Wuxin, and they were heading towards the Western Regions.
This matter was very simple to talk about, it turned out that Ye Yizhe had suddenly lost the news, and the first ones to receive the news were Shang Wuxin and Yiyin. When Yinyin had heard this, she had nearly fainted. After that, she prepared herself and prepared to go find Ye Yi Zhe.
Just as Yinyin was about to leave, Shang unintentionally stopped her. He remembered that when Yinyin first knew Shang didn’t want to look for her personally, she suddenly hugged him and swallowed. He felt grateful for having such a child, moved by his son, and worried about his two children.
The place where Ye Yi Zhe disappeared to was the Western Regions. Shang did not have the intention of visiting the Western Regions so this matter was also an opportunity. Shang didn’t feel that Ye Yi Zhe’s disappearance this time was definitely related to the Western Regions. In some ways, Shang could not just sit idly and do nothing about this. Moreover, he had no intentions of doing so himself.
“Xin’er, is this matter done by the Western Regions?” After all, Ye Yi Zhe didn’t have many connections with the Western Regions. With Ye Yi Zhe’s identity, it would be unwise for the Western Regions to offend Ye Yi Zhe.
Shang Wuxin shook his head, “It’s too early to come to a conclusion. I just feel that this matter has to be related to the people of Shang. Perhaps Ye Yizhe was implicated by me this time!” After all, the fact that the State of Shang and the Western Regions actually had such a connection meant that in the eyes of the Western Regions, Ye Yi Zhe had been fine for so many years, but now something had happened. Perhaps it was because Ye Yi Zhe was sparing no effort to help him.
“Stop!” Suddenly, a voice rang out, followed by the sound of the carriage stopping. Fearless and the others who were standing outside the carriage looked at the people blocking their path with a cold look in their eyes. Although Shang was in no hurry to travel, he had already reached the Western Regions. Dreadless could still feel the worry in the crown prince’s heart.
Dreadless was just about to take care of all of them. Although it seemed like there were only a few guards on the side of the carriage, there were actually quite a few people following behind it, not to mention the fact that they all had decent martial arts skills.
However, just as Fearless was about to make his move, Shang unintentionally walked out of the carriage, Leng Yufeng followed closely behind.
The moment Shang was about to get out of the carriage, everyone turned to look at him. It was just that his aura was so powerful that they could not ignore it even if they wanted to. There were men and women, old and young, all dressed well but with traces of blood on their wrinkled clothes. They looked like they were on the run or were being chased, and Shang was just about to move away when his eyes suddenly flickered.
Leng Yufeng had been keeping an eye on Thoughtless, so even though Thoughtless’ emotions fluctuated very quickly, he still managed to catch the attention of him. Leng Yufeng looked at the group of people, and then looked towards the direction where Shang Wuxin’s gaze had been, and saw a lady. Leng Yufeng’s eyes turned serious, and retracted his gaze, already having some thoughts in his mind.
“What is it?” Shang asked, not in the mood to look at these people.
A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd. “Young master, please forgive us, we are a family of merchants from the Western Regions, but we did not expect that we would be attacked by bandits when we came out for fun. Now that my child has a high fever, I would like to request that young master can bring my son along.
Shang unwittingly nodded his head and entered the carriage with Leng Yufeng. The severely injured child was left outside the carriage, and despite the discontent of the group, no one made any sound to stop him. The carriage continued on its way.
Inside the carriage, Shang Tong and Leng Yufeng looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, they got here effortlessly.
