Chapter 912: His wings have grown stronger and his temperament has become wilder
Yun Que was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Princess, why do you have to test me? For so many years, I have always believed what you said."
She lowered her eyes and adjusted the blanket on Princess Huayang's legs, her voice no longer smiling, "If Princess really feels that this chess piece is too variable, then at worst you can just change it.
After all, Your Majesty has other sons."
Princess Huayang's voice was inexpressible. "I would like to change them, but they are all more useless than the last."
Yun Que gently massaged her legs and said casually, "I feel that His Royal Highness Prince Xuan's return this time is very different from his previous visits."
Hearing this, Princess Huayang snorted coldly, "Over the years, your wings have hardened and your temperament has become wild."
Thinking back to the little kid who never spoke much and stood there without attracting any attention, her eyes became more fierce. "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and left behind such a biting dog."
Yun Que paused, "King Xuan was still young at the time, so he couldn't see much.
After all, he has the blood of His Majesty flowing through his veins, so it's no wonder the princess couldn't bring herself to kill him."
Thinking of something, she chuckled, "Besides, when the princess left Prince Xuan behind, wasn't she also trying to keep Prince Jin company?"
She spoke slowly, and the creaking sound of the carriage rolling over the ground inevitably subsided Princess Huayang's anger.
Just thinking of Mo Jinchuan, her face was not very good, "He is also a useless man, he only has eyes for his wife who is not yet married.
"He values beauties over the throne, how can I expect him to become a wise ruler in the future?"
Yun Que raised her eyes to look at her, her eyes were cold, "Princess, do you need me to help you?"
"Forget it." Princess Huayang looked gloomy. "I don't want another lunatic to join the Mo family."
Thinking of Emperor Xuande, the coldness in her eyes grew even darker, "That bitch Lin Shu has been dead for so many years, and my royal brother still misses her.
This man is just a servile person, always thinking about things that he can't get.
When Lin Shu was alive, he didn't think about it every day, but he took concubines one after another."
Afraid that she might think of something unpleasant, Yun Que quickly changed the subject and asked, "Princess, do you want to bring the prince directly into the palace?"
Princess Huayang said nothing, but just stared at her with a serious look.
When their eyes met, Yun Que couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Could it be that the princess already knows something?
Before she could think about it, she suddenly heard Princess Huayang ask, "On the day when the Mingyang brothers left, who else, besides you, accompanied me to see them off?"
Yun Que said without hesitation: "The princess is accompanied by only this servant."
Knowing that this was not the answer her master wanted, she paused and continued, "There are ten people guarding outside, two of whom are His Majesty's loyal guards, four are Imperial Guards, and six are the Princess's trusted aides.
Except for His Majesty's death squad, the four imperial guards were transferred to guard the imperial mausoleum and were not allowed to leave for the rest of their lives.
The six people in our family were buried that day, and their families also gave them generous gifts of silver."
After she finished speaking, she boldly asked, "Princess, why did you think of this for no reason?"
Ever since Crown Prince Huairen was assassinated, his name has become a taboo in the entire Princess's Mansion, and no one dares to mention it.
He was afraid of displeasing Princess Huayang, and even more afraid of angering the emperor and losing his head.
Even for someone like her, who was considered by everyone to have an advantage in front of Princess Huayang, no one would dare to speak of it unless the master mentioned it herself.
Yun Que didn't dare to think too much, and quickly lowered her head and said, "It's my fault for talking too much, Princess, please forgive me."
Princess Huayang said in a gloomy tone, "What are you afraid of? I don't blame you."
Having said that, Yun Que did not dare to let his guard down at all.
Looking at the few white hairs that had sprouted from her head at who knows when, Princess Huayang said in a deep voice, "Jinchuan just told me that he doesn't hold any grudge against me for what happened back then."
Yun Que's voice was tinged with joy, "Princess, this is good news. It proves that His Royal Highness Prince Jin has indeed grown up and knows how to care for the princess.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin has been intelligent since childhood. If you give him some time, he will be able to see clearly who in this world is truly kind to him."
"Perhaps."
Princess Huayang's eyes were cold and gloomy. "Yuque, tell me, when the Mingyang brothers are in the underworld, will they go to the King of Hell to seek justice?"
"I don't think Crown Prince Huairen and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince will."
Yun Que raised her head and met Princess Huayang's eyes. "You two masters were kindhearted and always respected the princess. You are their only aunt in this world."
"But I will also kill them."
"How can this be blamed on the princess?"
Yun Que lowered her voice, her eyes stern as she spoke, "There are others who truly desire the lives of the two masters. The princess is merely an aunt, sending them on their final journey."
Princess Huayang was silent for a while before she said, "Let's go to the Fahua Temple and invite some high-ranking monks to hold a Dharma assembly for the two brothers.
After all, we are aunt and niece, so don't let them suffer any injustice down there."
Yun Que clenched his palms, which were already soaked with sweat, and responded respectfully.

"What did you say? Prince Jin is not dead?" After hearing what Bai Qing said, Zhuang Shihan's legs went limp and she sat on the ground.
On the dressing table in front of her was the phoenix crown that she had spent a huge amount of money to make. The South China Pearls inlaid on it were large and full, and their quality was in no way inferior to the crowns worn by the concubines.
Bai Qing quickly reached out to help her, saying considerately, "Not only is His Royal Highness Prince Jin alright, but Princess Yong'an and Divine Doctor Xi, who braved the heavy rain to look for him, have also returned safely.
I heard that when she entered the city, it was Princess Huayang who personally brought people to pick her up."
With every word he spoke, Zhuang Shihan's face became uglier.
She murmured, "No, this is impossible. How can one survive in such a deep river?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Bai Qing's wrist and stared at him intently, "Isn't it said that Prince Jin doesn't know how to swim and will surely die if he falls into the river?"
Bai Qing said: "That's what's being said outside. Someone secretly burned paper money on the street last night to commemorate His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
The boss came back late last night, so he must have seen it on the way."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Shihan's face instantly lost all color.
She thought that Mo Jinchuan and Song Yanxi were dead, and Emperor Xuande was seriously ill, so there was no one who could help her. That was why she went to the Royal Post Station to find Wen Qi last night.
Now I tell her that the two people have returned safely.
So what was her sacrifice last night?
When Zhuang Shihan thought of the promises Wen Qi made to her in her ear last night, she almost vomited them out on the spot.
She dug her hands into the ground, unable to accept it, and said, "They are fine. How can they be fine?"
“Crash!”
Zhuang Shihan swept the phoenix crown off the dressing table and said hatefully, "Mo Jinchuan, Song Yanxi, you've hurt me so much!"
Staring at the disheveled figure in the bronze mirror, she raised her hand to wipe away her tears and said to Bai Qing, "Have someone prepare a carriage to take me to Prince An's Mansion."
