The Crown Prince's words left the Crown Princess Consort in silence, not even knowing how to respond.
Her life or death now rests on a word from the Crown Prince, but she is destined to die.
Since the Crown Prince has become The Emperor, he knows that such a woman, if left, must be killed.
"If I'm not mistaken," Jin Mingyue said, "You will be waiting for the next Crown Prince."
"Am I right, Crown Princess Consort?"
Although Jin Mingyue is merely a concubine, she still knows enough about the Crown Princess Consort.
The Crown Princess Consort is very ambitious for the position of Empress.
Facing Jin Mingyue's words, Taiyi was unmoved.
The Crown Prince saw all of this happen, but it was too late — avoiding being killed was still unavoidable.
The Crown Prince waved his hand, signaling the Chief Eunuch to come in.
A cup of wine was presented.
"I grant you a cup of poisoned wine," said the Crown Prince, "in consideration of your past as my wife, to give you dignity."
