Chapter 415 How to Choose
M: "The Queen is not your biological mother, did you know that?"
The queen, who was holding Chaohua, stiffened noticeably.
She immediately scolded Li Yuwan:
"Miss Li, what are you thinking? Not only have you relied on Prince Zhong's power to contradict me time and again, but now you are slandering me. Do you know that you deserve to be executed for your crime?"
Although the prince's men were not dispatched, the abbot was informed in advance.
But she was not worried that Xie Yuheng and the Lulin troops could capture the abbot.
As long as the abbot cannot be caught, there is no way to prove whether what the slave said is true or not, and there is no way to prove whether Chaohua is her son.
The abbot held a high position of power in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and was surrounded by many hidden experts as guards.
What's more, that person is also hiding in Xiangguo Temple and is protected by the Wu family. Xie Yuheng is afraid that he will be in great danger if he goes there.
The Queen glanced at Duke Xie with a sinister look.
If something happens to Xie Yuheng, I wonder if he will still be loyal to protect his emperor.
Li Yuwan wanted to slap the queen in the face.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you've forgotten my identity. I'm the Young Master of the Divine Doctor Valley. I know much more than everyone else. For example, the Lord Su beside your Majesty... Lord..."
Li Yuwan turned visibly pale, and Chen Zhao knew that the system Li Yuwan mentioned was preventing her from telling the truth again.
Just now, Li Yuwan said that the Sixth Princess was not the Queen's biological daughter, which was why the system did not shock her.
This was because it was she, Shen Zhao, who brought up this matter in Lu's study.
A rare crack appeared on the Queen's calm expression.
[Damn you little bitch! When I overthrow the Southern Chu Empire, I will make sure you live a life worse than death!]
Chen Zhao is now worried about Xie Yuheng. The Queen has Li Yuwan who knows all the details to support her, so nothing will go wrong.
Nothing must happen to Yuheng.
She approached Duke Xie and whispered in his ear:
"Duke, Yuheng is in danger."
Duke Xie's eyes suddenly widened, he grabbed Shen Zhao and hurried out of the inner hall.
The old emperor noticed the commotion here and raised his eyebrows.
What happened? It made Old Xie so anxious that he pulled Mu'er so hard that she stumbled and almost fell into the trap.
The old emperor winked at the inconspicuous eunuch in the crowd.
The young eunuch immediately retreated quietly and followed Duke Xie and Shen Zhao.
Duke Xie noticed something and when he caught a glimpse of the young eunuch's face from the corner of his eye, he ignored it because he knew that it was the emperor's man.
The two of them came to the outside of the side hall, and Duke Xie said in a serious tone:
"Is there something strange about Xiangguo Temple?"
Chen Zhao nodded and said, "The abbot of Xiangguo Temple is not from Southern Chu, but from Northern Qi."
"Besides, he holds a high position of power in Northern Qi, and is surrounded by experts protecting him, as well as members of the Wu family."
Duke Xie glared at Chen Zhao fiercely. Why did this idiot speak up now?
Chen Zhao also felt aggrieved because she only found out about it now.
The young eunuch who had been hiding in the dark immediately slipped away.
He did not return to the inner hall, but rushed out of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.
Duke Xie knew that the man was gathering troops to help Yu Heng.
"Duke?" Shen Zhao called out in confusion.
Knowing that Xie Yuheng was in danger, shouldn't Duke Xie immediately send someone to help Xie Yuheng?
How can you be so calm and composed?
Duke Xie glanced at Shen Zhao unhappily.
"Put away that stupid look of yours. His Majesty's men have just gone to help Yu Heng. Hurry back to the inner hall."
Duke Xie strode away, paying no attention to Shen Zhao behind him.
Chu Yi, who had been guarding nearby, rushed out from the inner hall and quickly stepped forward to support Chen Zhao.
"Master, watch your step."
Shen Zhao lightly stopped the step he had just taken and resumed his limping posture.
When Shen Zhao arrived at the inner hall, he happened to hear the Queen ordering the maids and palace maids serving in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
This actually included the palace maid who secretly let September go.
The Queen said sternly, "These people are the ones who bullied and tortured Chaohua. Even if some of them didn't do anything, their concealment and failure to report the crime are considered equally culpable, so they all deserve to die."
As she spoke, the queen looked up at the emperor.
"It's not that I want to disobey the emperor's orders, but this palace maid is no different from those who tortured Chaohua."
"If she had never been in cahoots with these people, why hadn't she reported these treacherous slaves' actions to me over the years?"
"Your Majesty, if you don't feel sorry for Chaohua, I do. Please also execute all the people serving in Wanfo Hall."
This time the queen set her sights on September.
"Including her!"
If this slut hadn't secretly run to Lu's study to complain, how could she have encountered all this today and been so passive.
This bitch deserves to die!
“She was Chaohua’s personal maid, so it would be fine if others concealed her.
Chaohua treated her like a sister, and she watched Chaohua being tortured by the servants without saying a word.
I wonder if this lowly maidservant, like those wicked slaves, is also secretly harming Chaohua."
Chaohua wanted to speak, but before she could, Li Yuwan pulled up Jiuyue, who was kneeling beside the bed, and protected her behind her.
She glared at the Queen and Chaohua, her body trembling slightly with anger.
I feel so sorry for September.
Following such a master who is as stupid as a pig.
The Sixth Princess does not deserve September's protection and loyalty.
She felt even more sorry for Jiu Yue’s desperate rescue of her.
"Sixth Princess, do you also think the Queen is right? Jiu Yue should be executed!"
[If this idiot dares to say yes, regardless of whether she is a daughter of the Shen family or not, she will be my number one enemy from now on.]
As much as Li Yuwan felt pity for Chaohua at the beginning, she now hates her.
Why does she hate love-brained and foolishly filial men and women the most?
Kill all the mama's boys and brother-supporting demons!
Don’t base your filial piety on the suffering of others. No one has the right to do that!
September also looked at the princess.
There was a layer of mist and loneliness in his eyes.
She is not afraid of death, because her life was saved by the Sixth Princess.
As long as the Sixth Princess wants it, she will give it to her.
Just consider it as repaying the Sixth Princess for her kindness over the years.
She just hopes there won't be an afterlife, because this life is too painful and she doesn't want to go through it again.
"Chaohua, Queen Mother executed these people for your own good, to vent her anger. Do you want to hurt Queen Mother's heart because of these people who hurt you?"
The queen spoke sincerely, and even shed a few tears at the end.
Eunuch Su on the side also tried to persuade earnestly:
"Sixth Princess, you are the apple of my eye. Seeing you being tortured so miserably by these thieves, my heart feels like it's being cut by a knife."
"Sixth Princess, please understand the Queen's painstaking efforts and don't make her sad again. Look, her eyes are swollen from crying for you..."
The old emperor did not stop the queen and eunuch Su from acting in front of Chaohua.
Because he also wanted to see if Chaohua was a clear-headed person.
If she is a clear-headed person, I will not only retain her title of princess as my compensation to her for all these years, but I will also reward her according to the standards of a princess and set up a palace for her.
So that she can reunite with her biological mother in Kyoto.
If she is confused and doesn't know how to be grateful.
I will save her life, and only her life.
When the time is right, she will announce her true identity.
Everyone's eyes fell on Chaohua, waiting to see what decision she would make.
