Chapter 922: Worthy of being the wolf cub she raised
Concubine Yu clapped her hands, and a group of palace maids came in one after another, carrying several camphorwood boxes that were half a person's height.
"Bang!" The boxes fell to the ground one after another, making a dull thud.
Receiving the master's eye signal, Lian Qiao opened one of the boxes, took out a painting and unfolded it.
Looking at the painting of the heroic man riding a tall horse, the queen's face changed slightly. She lowered her voice and scolded, "This is the harem. How dare you bring in a portrait of a foreign man like this? It's simply nonsense!"
"Nonsense?" Imperial Concubine Yu raised an eyebrow. "If the Empress thinks a painting is nonsense, won't she faint from rage when she sees a picture album of two people doing something naked?"
The Queen's face flushed with anger when she heard this. "You are an elder after all. How can you say such things in front of a younger generation?"
Knowing the other person's personality, she warned him coldly, "Hurry up and have someone put the things away. I'll just pretend I've never seen them.
But if you continue to act recklessly, I cannot guarantee that what happened today will not reach His Majesty's ears."
Concubine Yu sneered and asked, "Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?"
Song Yanxi didn't see any fear on her face.
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
The queen was furious at her provocative words and said sullenly, "You are a grandmother now. Even if you don't care about yourself, you should still think about your son and grandson.
If this matter gets out, how will the world view them?"
Thinking about what Concubine Yu had been most concerned about, the Queen advised earnestly: "Your Majesty is ill now, and it is the time to test the princes. We don't know how many eyes are watching us.
At times like this, we must not create unnecessary complications."
Rather than the important matter of appointing a crown prince, the Queen would rather put the matter of Prince Xuan aside for the time being and wait until His Majesty's condition improves before making a decision.
Concubine Yu was already laughing, and when she heard this, she laughed even harder.
She smiled with tears in her eyes, stared at the Queen and asked quietly, "Ling Xuan's body is already broken, what's the point of testing him?
Could it be that the Queen meant that a sickly person could become the Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen's expression suddenly became even uglier. "Noble Consort, please don't say that. Yan Xi has been recuperating for Prince Ning recently. Give her some time..."
Imperial Concubine Yu interrupted her and asked coldly, "Give this girl some time, will she be able to make my son heal?"
She turned her head and stared at Song Yanxi, "Can you?"
Song Yanxi said truthfully: "No."
The arrow that hit His Royal Highness Prince Ning that day injured his heart and lungs. It was a blessing from God that he was able to survive.
This is a life that was snatched back from the King of Hell. If you think about anything else, you are just greedy.
Hearing this, Concubine Yu glanced at the Queen, as if to say, "See what I said, she can't do it."
The Queen couldn't bear it and said, "Yan Xi, Prince Jin's leg was injured so badly that all the doctors, both imperial doctors and common doctors, said it was incurable, but you still made him stand up again.
Is there any way to improve Prince Ning's health?"
Song Yanxi couldn't help but frown, "Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Jin and His Royal Highness Prince Ning's injuries are different, they can't be lumped together.
Furthermore, although His Royal Highness Prince Jin can now walk without any problems, the wound still hurts when it is cloudy and rainy, and requires acupuncture with silver needles to relieve the pain."
"How could this be?" The Queen's face turned pale. "Is there no cure?"
Song Yanxi shook her head. "Any broken bones, even if they heal well, will still damage the root. They will show up every time the weather gets cold, especially in winter."
The Queen was about to say something, but Imperial Concubine Yu spoke first, "Enough, stop dilly-dallying. Do you still want to watch or not?"
She seemed to be asking, but she didn't give them any chance to refuse. She walked over quickly, took out a stack of letters and handed them to the queen.
Meeting her surprised look, she smiled coldly and said, "Don't you Chu people usually love reading? Go ahead and read."
Listening to her tone, the queen knew that these letters must contain something difficult to talk about.
Concubine Yu didn't give her a chance to put it away. She grabbed the other end of the letter and said sinisterly, "If you don't want to, I'll help you."
As she spoke, she seemed to suddenly think of something and reminded, "Besides the letters that the bitch had with her, there are a lot of other good things in here. Why don't you just take them all out and have a look.
It can also be considered as a way to broaden the horizons of these young people."
The Queen immediately stopped him and said, "No need!"
Concubine Yu smiled and asked, "So will the Queen read it or not?"
The queen's face turned pale, and she had already guessed the content of the letter.
Even though Concubine Liang had passed away many years ago, once the things inside were made public, the Mo royal family's reputation would be trampled underfoot.
Such a scandal must not be known to outsiders!
But as the queen, the nominal "mother" of Prince Jin and Yan Xi, how could she have the nerve to read such obscene things in front of them?
Even if she didn't want to lose this face, she was afraid of dirtying their ears.
Just when the Queen was in great trouble, Concubine Yu suddenly smiled.
She snatched the letter back and said disdainfully, "Chu Wu, look at your courage. You don't act like a queen at all."
Chu Wu twitched her lips and said, "If possible, I don't want to be the queen."
"Hypocritical!" Imperial Concubine Yu gritted her teeth and said bluntly, "You're just like that vicious woman Mo Daiqiu. You say one thing and do another. It's really disgusting."
As she spoke, she opened a letter and was about to read it when someone snatched it away.
Concubine Yu looked at Mo Jinchuan's cold face, and the anger in her eyes suddenly turned into a smile, "She is indeed a wolf cub that she raised. She can't stand me saying anything bad about her.
Do you know that your aunt eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures all day long, but secretly does things that kill animals? "
The Queen scolded sternly, "Noble Concubine Yu, don't talk nonsense!"
Imperial Concubine Yu glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "You are afraid of that vicious woman, but I am not afraid of her."
She pointed to several large boxes on the ground and said, "See these? They were all her doing."
Worried that they might not understand, she asked again, "When Concubine Liang entered the palace, she was just a beauty. How did she manage to conceal her secret affair with her lover outside the palace from the eyes and ears of the palace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the three people in the room darkened.
Not to mention that she was just a beauty, even if she was a concubine, it would be impossible for her to have so many correspondences with people outside the palace under the noses of the Imperial Guards.
But for Princess Huayang, who could come and go freely and whose belongings did not need to be checked, these were just convenient things.
The Queen asked in disbelief, "Why would she do that?"
Concubine Yu pursed her lips at Mo Jinchuan and said, "Why don't you ask him? He was chosen by Mo Daiqiu since he was a child. I think he should know what his good aunt wants to do."
She turned her head to look outside and said quietly, "Time is running out. You guys better think quickly."
