Chapter 921: Of course he deserves to die

When Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi arrived, the haggard queen was scolding the palace maids.

"How did you manage to let Concubine Yu get in?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The palace maids knelt on the ground, trembling and begging her to show mercy.

If it were any other matter, the queen, as the queen in the harem, could give them a way out by just raising her finger.

But she couldn't make the decision on today's matter alone.

Hearing footsteps, the queen turned around and breathed a sigh of relief, "Jinchuan, Yanxi, you are finally here."

With just a glance from her, Xianglan immediately brought the palace maids Teng Xuan with her.

Song Yanxi noticed that the faces of the palace servants were all pale when they left, and even though they supported each other, they still fell down repeatedly because of their weak legs.

One of them even crawled out of the gate of Fengyi Palace, which was enough to show how much fear he was feeling.

I’m afraid what happened today is not a small matter.

Just when she thought that Concubine De had discovered the truth and had committed suicide to apologize, she heard the Queen say in a deep voice, "Prince Xuan passed away this morning."

Song Yanxi was startled and subconsciously asked, "Are you joking, Madam?"

The person who was fine yesterday is now less than twelve hours old.

Although I haven't felt King Xuan's pulse, judging from his expression, he is definitely not a short-lived person.

Mo Jinchuan's face turned grim, and he asked in a deep voice, "How did it disappear?"

The Queen took two steps, then sat down on the chair with some weakness, "This morning, Imperial Concubine Yu brought a large group of palace maids to visit, and the people below couldn't stop her, so they had to let her in.

It is unknown what she said to King Xuan, but shortly after she left, King Xuan smashed a vase and committed suicide.

She closed her eyes and said in a deep voice, "By the time the person who brought the food found it, the body was already cold."

Mo Jinchuan: "Old Fourth had no grudges or hatred against Imperial Concubine Yu before."

"I don't understand either." The Queen looked at him, her eyes filled with anger. "Prince Xuan has not been in the capital in recent years, nor has he any fiefdoms. He is not favored by your father, and he poses no threat to Prince Ning at all.

What on earth had he done to hinder her, Qu Fenglan, that she had to be so cruel as to kill him! "

As soon as he finished speaking, a gorgeous figure strode in and sneered, "Of course, it's because he deserves to die."

The queen's face suddenly turned cold, and she shouted angrily, "You've come at the perfect time."

"What are you yelling about?" Imperial Concubine Yu scratched her ears, her face full of disdain. "Look at you now. You don't look like a queen at all."

She glanced at Mo Jinchuan and sighed softly, "Prince Jin is here too. That's perfect. It saves me from having to send someone to call you."

Sitting down on the chair next to the queen, she slowly adjusted the hem of her skirt and said with a smile, "Although I am pretty, you don't have to stare at me like that.

If you are so disrespectful, you won’t be laughed at if the news gets out.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Song Yanxi and said in a less than enthusiastic manner, "I owe you for what happened last time. If you want any reward, tell me as soon as possible.

After a few days, I will no longer recognize you."

Seeing her still arrogant attitude, the Queen couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Qu Fenglan, do you still regard me as the Queen?"

"Look at what the Queen asked. It's really interesting." Concubine Yu smiled.

She turned to look at the Queen and asked instead, "If I didn't take Her Majesty the Queen seriously, wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Yuyao Palace and sleep? Why would I make such a trip?"

As she spoke, she waved the folding fan in her hand, "Your Majesty, you don't know how strong the sun is outside. If you accidentally burn my face, His Majesty will be distressed."

When Emperor Xuande was mentioned, the Queen's expression suddenly became even colder.

Although Concubine Yu had never used her great favor to embarrass her over the years, she was spoiled by nature and would always say something sarcastic when she saw her.

He is obviously more than ten years older than her, but he still asks her, who is younger, to give way to him.

Your Majesty had no way to deal with this and could only privately advise her to be more magnanimous and not to bother with her.

The Queen naturally didn't bother to argue with her over trivial matters on ordinary days, but now that Mo Wenjing's life was involved, she couldn't just ignore it.

Especially now that His Majesty is still ill, there are countless people outside who are watching every move of the royal family, waiting to find any mistakes and then make trouble.

The queen's face was gloomy, and she asked in a cold voice, "You went to see King Xuan today, what did you say?"

Concubine Yu waved her fan and said nonchalantly, "What else could I have said to him? We just chatted a few words about Concubine Liang."

As if she had thought of something, she smiled and said, "The Queen entered the palace late, so she probably doesn't know Concubine Liang, nor has she heard of her deeds?"

The Queen said with a cold expression, "I heard the old people in the palace mention it."

Concubine Yu covered her mouth with her fan and asked in surprise, "Who is so bold as to tell you such trivial things?

Nowadays, these people in the palace are becoming more and more careless in doing their work."

Seeing that the Queen was silent, she felt bored and said coldly, "He's just a bastard of unknown origin. I've been too soft-hearted to let him roam freely in this world for another twenty years.

If he behaves himself and really becomes a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, I don't mind sparing his life.

But he just wanted something that didn't belong to him."

After hearing her words, the queen was stunned for a long time.

What is a bastard of unknown origin?

Confusion of the royal bloodline is a serious crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan.

No matter how foolish that Concubine Liang was, she would not dare to be so bold.

Not to mention, there are special people in the palace who record His Majesty's diet and daily life, including the time when he visits concubines, no matter how big or small.

If Mo Wenjing's birth month doesn't match, according to the royal family's long-standing custom of preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go, they will definitely not spare the lives of the mother and son.

So there is absolutely no mistake in this matter.

The Queen calmed herself down and said coldly, "Such an important matter cannot be proven with words."

Imperial Concubine Yu ignored her and instead looked at Song Yanxi and asked, "Girl, can you believe what I just said?"

Song Yanxi frowned and said, "This is too unbelievable."

Although Concubine Yu is arrogant by nature, judging from our previous interactions, although she is bad, she has always been bad openly.

She did it, and she didn't bother to hide it.

If she didn't do it, even if a steel knife was placed on her neck, she would never compromise.

So whether His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is not the prince's biological son or not, she must have evidence in her hands to prove that he is not of royal blood.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so confident in front of the Queen.

Concubine Yu snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "You are so cunning that you can't offend anyone."

The Queen said, "There is no evidence to begin with. Why is the Imperial Concubine making things difficult for Yan Xi?"

Hearing this, Concubine Yu couldn't help laughing.

She looked at the Queen and Song Yanxi, and said meaningfully, "You keep calling her Yanxi. You two have a good relationship as mother and daughter."

Without waiting for the Queen to rebuke her, she sneered and asked, "Who told you that I have no evidence?"
