Chapter 206 Life and Death

Fang Yu couldn't help but take a step back, but Fang Linlang pressed forward, "Xiao Yi is like this, and so are our parents. Big brother, have you forgotten what happened back then? The prince personally beat our father to death."

"Even so, he wouldn't let the Fang family go. Of the five brothers, only my uncle is still alive."

"Brother, have you forgotten that year when we had to flee to Qingzhou and were hunted down along the way? Mother protected us while we escaped, but she herself died at their hands."

"Big brother may forget these lives, but I will never forget them."

"What does it matter if I have to do anything? As long as I can get revenge, I'll do anything!"

Fang Yu looked at her and called out, "Linlang..."

"Shut up!" Fang Linlang sneered. "You're the son of the Fang family. You've been cowardly and incompetent for years, and now you're showing softness. Big brother, this is the last time I'll call you brother. If you still harbor any deep hatred for me, you shouldn't have come today."

"When I first entered the palace, you should have thought this day would come."

Fang Yu opened his mouth to protest but couldn't utter a word. Finally, he heard himself ask, "Linlang, does Uncle know about this? Does he agree?"

Fang Linlang sneered, "Without my uncle, I would be blind and deaf in the harem. Fang Yu, you are the only one in the Fang family who has forgotten the humiliation and hatred of the past."

Fang Yu staggered backward and fell onto the stool.

Seeing him like this, Fang Linlang's eyes flashed with pity, but she still hardened her heart: "Go away, don't come again, and I won't see you again."

"If you're willing to close your eyes and live your life, then stay home and I'll take care of your parents' revenge."

Fang Yu was completely distraught, staring blankly at his sister who was not far away. In just a few years, he no longer recognized his sister who had grown up with him.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Yu finally spoke: "Linlang, I am willing to help you."

Fang Linlang just sneered: "How can you help?"

"Yeah, I'm so incompetent, what can I do? No wonder you kept it from me." Fang Yu said, stood up and staggered out.

Fang Linlang leaned back in her chair while the maid silently massaged her forehead. After a while, she tearfully said, "I didn't know anything about what happened that day. He's my biological brother, so why didn't you believe me?"

The maid said distressedly, "Your Majesty, Lord Fang was just angry for a moment, he wouldn't really blame you."

After a long time, Fang Linlang's anger finally subsided a little. Perhaps the dark life in the deep palace had changed her. Before entering the palace, she would never have been so unable to control her temper.

Fang Linlang sighed, calmed down, and said, "Go after him and tell him to go back and rest. I'll take care of everything else. I won't let him suffer any loss in the end."

"Yes, your Majesty, I'll go right away." The palace maid replied.

"Hey, look, that seems to be Lord Fang..."

"Which Lord Fang?"

"Who else? Of course, it's Concubine Yu's elder brother, Lord Fang, who was just granted marriage."

"No wonder he's so distraught. Have you heard about the incident with the prince?"

"If His Majesty had not fallen ill from anger, the Crown Prince would have already..."

"That's hard to say. Your Majesty has always doted on the Crown Prince, and he's the eldest son of Empress Yuan. Could he really kill him for a commoner girl? Lord Fang doesn't have the face to do that."

"Master Fang doesn't have it, doesn't Empress Yufei have it either?"

"Who knows? You say this Lord Fang is unlucky. His first fiancée died inexplicably, and this second one just..."

"Isn't it..."

Fragmentary noises reached Fang Yu's ears. He left Jinxiu Palace alone, feeling that everyone was pointing at him and laughing at him.

None of these could affect him. What really made Fang Yu distraught were the words of his own sister. He had always regarded himself as Linlang's protector, but it was not until today that he realized that he was not reliable in the eyes of either his sister or his uncle.

They wanted to avenge the Fang family and their dead relatives, but excluded him.

Yes, he has always been a useless person. How can he be of any help? He couldn't even protect Xiao Yi at the beginning.

As a member of the Fang family, he could neither help his uncle solve his problems nor take revenge. He could only watch his young sister enter the deep palace and accompany a foolish emperor who was older than her father.

After walking out of the palace gate and standing at the palace gate, Fang Yu suddenly stopped.

He looked back at the towering palace wall. It was this wall that had swallowed up his best sister and left her unrecognizable.

Suddenly, Fang Yu's eyes changed. He laughed at himself and felt that his life was ridiculous.

The guards at the palace gate looked at each other in bewilderment. They all knew what had happened in the palace in the past few days and felt very sympathetic towards Lord Fang. However, due to the royal family's dignity, they still had to remind him, "Lord Fang, please don't make any noise!"

Fang Yu lowered his voice and looked at the palace wall, thinking that perhaps he could do one last thing for Linlang.

"The Crown Prince has no moral integrity and disregards human ethics. He deserves to be deposed!"

There has always been a spot of blood at the palace gate, and today, there was just one more.

In Jinxiu Palace, Fang Linlang was coaxing her Ninth Prince who had just turned one year old. At this moment, there was no resentment on her face, but instead she looked like a true loving mother.

While humming a song, Fang Linlang's mind was wandering far away. She regretted the hurtful words she had just said, but she was so angry at the time that she said them without thinking.

When both their parents died, their uncle couldn't even protect himself, so he had to send them to the remote Hushan County to avoid the disaster. Although those years were hard, the relationship between the brother and sister was real.

She pushed the cradle gently, regretting that she had not told Fang Yu just now. She really didn't know about Huang Ying.

Originally that day, she and the Queen planned to expose the affair between the Crown Prince and Concubine Ru, but who would have thought that Concubine Ru had not been exposed yet, and instead Huang Ying was trapped.

That girl was also very stubborn, and she actually died by hitting the pillar.

If Concubine Yu was dissatisfied with the marriage with the Xu family back then, this time she really liked Huang Ying. After all, Huang Ying was their cousin and a well-behaved and sensible person.

But the person is dead, what can she do? If she continues to investigate and drag Concubine Xu into it, will that only help the prince out of trouble?

Fang Linlang admitted that she went with the flow at the time, but she didn't expect that in Fang Yu's eyes, her sister was so cruel and ruthless that she even took advantage of her future sister-in-law.

The Ninth Prince gradually fell asleep, his fair and tender face full of innocence and loveliness. Concubine Yu extended her fingers and carefully caressed him, then suddenly sighed, "If people never grow up, they can always be carefree."

At this moment, the maid who had just been sent out hurried back and stumbled to her knees in front of Concubine Yu: "Your Majesty, this is terrible. Master Fang has committed suicide at the palace gate."

"What!" Fang Linlang was shocked. "Why would he do this?"

The maid didn't even dare to raise her head. "It's true. I went too late. The palace gate was in chaos. The guards wouldn't let anyone get close. I only heard that before Lord Fang was killed, he shouted, 'The Crown Prince has no morals and disregards human ethics. He should be deposed!'"

Fang Linlang felt a fishy sensation in her throat and was distraught for a moment: "He's blaming me!"

Fang Yu chose to die, which made Fang Linlang extremely sad. At the same time, she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart. Until the end, her brother never believed her and even used this method to threaten and warn her.

"Empress!" The palace maids were also panicked.

The grief was so deep that it pierced her liver and spleen, and it tore her heart apart. However, Fang Linlang quickly calmed down, and her eyes were already cold: "Okay, it's better to die. Even if you die, you can still help me!"

The scorching cold eyes made the palace maids dare not look directly at her. After staying in Jinxiu Palace for a long time, they all knew that although Concubine Yu looked good-tempered and never got angry easily, she was actually a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes.

Suddenly, Concubine Yu turned her head to look at the Ninth Prince who was still sleeping, then walked over and picked him up.

The palace maids around were trembling with fear, fearing that Concubine Yu would become mentally disturbed by her brother's tragic death and hurt the Ninth Prince. If that happened, they would all be in trouble.

The next moment, Concubine Yu gently kissed the Ninth Prince's forehead and placed him in the arms of her trusted maid: "Luhe, carry the Ninth Prince to the Queen's Palace and tell her that I will entrust the Ninth Prince to her from now on."

"Empress." Lu He screamed in surprise.

"Hurry up and go." Yu Fei shouted coldly.

When Luhe hurriedly left with the Ninth Prince, Concubine Yu changed into a linen dress.

"Sir, something happened." Su Arong walked in with sweat all over his forehead, not even bothering to avoid Su Huihui.

Su Fengzhang frowned and asked, "What happened again?"

"Lord Fang Yufang couldn't bear the humiliation and shouted at the palace gate that the prince was immoral, then hit his head against the wall and died on the spot!"

"The Jade Consort in the palace heard the news and, in mourning, is now kneeling before the main hall, begging His Majesty to punish the Crown Prince."

"When the civil and military officials at court heard about this, they were displeased with the Crown Prince for his debauchery and disobedience, and they all impeached him."

A series of news gave Su Fengzhang a headache, especially Fang Yu's death, which made him feel mixed emotions. They used to be from the same hometown and had been on the same ship. Although they were not very close, he never thought that Fang Yu would die like this.

"Second brother?" Su Huihui looked at him worriedly.

Su Fengzhang sighed, patted her hands and said, "Huihui, I'm going out for a while. Please take good care of Mother and Aneng for me. Remember, don't go out before I come back. If anything happens, take them out through the back door. There is a small path leading directly to Prince Cheng's Mansion. You guys go over there and wait for me."

"Don't worry, second brother, I will take good care of mother and Aneng." Su Huihui said quickly.

Su Arong was about to follow, but Su Fengzhang said, "Arong, stay home and accompany my mother and the others."

After saying this, Su Fengzhang hurried out. Su Huihui was extremely worried, especially because of what happened with Xiaolu just now, which made her even more frightened.

But Linlang is different, her heart is full of hatred
