Chapter 153
As soon as the palace servant finished speaking, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. All the palace servants knelt down, and even Jin Yi was so frightened that she knelt down as well.
Over the past three years, everyone has witnessed and remembered how devoted His Majesty has been to the late Empress in her ice coffin, and no one dares to touch that sensitive spot in his heart.
"What did you say? What do you mean by tearing off one's face?" Song Xuan looked at the palace servants prostrate on the ground, his words almost squeezed out of his throat. His face was grim, with a hint of panic.
The palace maid trembled and spoke haltingly, "Just now, His Highness the Crown Prince went to the Ice Palace, saying he missed Her Majesty the Empress, so his wet nurse took him there, but who knew that His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Before the palace servant could finish speaking, Song Xuan had already left the hall, leaving only his black-clad back. Jin Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, thought for a moment and then gritted her teeth and followed him.
He will also be traveling south with His Majesty; he will be going along.
Inside the Ice Palace.
The palace servants were already kneeling on the ground. The wet nurse knelt beside the ice coffin, her lips trembling as she looked at little Yan Qing, who was completely inside. She pleaded, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please come out quickly..."
She felt her life was in danger.
The young prince clearly loved the late Empress the most, but just now, for some unknown reason, he crawled into the ice coffin and even peeled off the late Empress's face.
The late empress's body has been kept in an ice coffin for three years. Although it looks perfectly intact on the surface, who knows what it looks like inside?
The fact that the young crown prince peeled off the late empress's face is somewhat shocking, but not impossible.
Little Yanqing was completely oblivious to his wet nurse's words. He stood blankly inside the ice coffin, his chubby little face filled with a daze, his tiny hands still clutching a face...
When Song Xuan rushed to the Ice Palace, this was the scene he saw.
Inside the ice coffin, Xiao Yanqing was holding a face in his hand. He stared blankly at the corpse in the ice coffin, his small face showing a bit of confusion and bewilderment.
Song Xuan strode to the ice coffin and pulled Xiao Yanqing out of it. His face was dark and cold, exuding a frightening aura.
He doted on Song Yanqing, and if the other party made a mistake, he would only make a lot of noise but do little real action. But today, Song Yanqing actually did such an unfilial thing...
Just thinking about this made Song Xuan feel his blood boil, and he felt that even giving this unfilial son a good beating would not be enough to quell his anger.
The coldness emanating from Song Xuan's dark eyes was even chiller than the icy palace itself: "You unfilial son!"
These words, laced with overwhelming anger, lowered the overall atmosphere of the Ice Palace.
No one can withstand the majesty of an emperor.
The palace servants in the ice palace were all silent with fear, and even the wet nurse on the ground was trembling with fright.
Her life is probably in danger today. With the young prince acting so lawlessly, she, as a servant, is also going to suffer...
Jin Yi, who followed Song Xuan into the hall, knelt down as soon as he entered the hall, not daring to look at anything else.
At this moment, Xiao Yanqing, who had just come to his senses, shouted, "Father, look at Mother in the coffin, that's not the real Mother!"
Xiao Yanqing's childish voice was resounding, and her words sent chills down the spines of everyone in the Ice Palace.
Upon hearing this, Song Xuan subconsciously looked into the ice coffin. He saw that the corpse inside had a pale face with intact skin, but it bore no resemblance to Qing Nian whatsoever.
He was suddenly startled, and even his grip on Xiao Yanqing loosened. Xiao Yanqing fell to the ground, and the face he was holding in his small hand swayed. Only then did he realize that it was clearly not a face, but a human skin mask.
