Chapter 488 Self-righteousness
Eunuch Mo was also a little dumbfounded.
He was a man of great experience and much more sensitive than the eldest prince, especially at a time like this. He seemed to have sensed something in his heart, and his expression changed slightly as he glanced at Concubine Mi.
He happened to meet the cold gaze of Concubine Mi and was startled. Eunuch Mo hurriedly said respectfully: "Old slave, old slave obeys the Concubine."
This can be considered a subtle way of expressing loyalty.
Concubine Mi smiled with satisfaction, "We are all doing this for the good of the Emperor!"
This sounded very strange, but the eldest prince was so frightened and heartbroken that he didn't bother to investigate further.
Concubine Mi waited anxiously and suffered, and finally, people from the Mi family arrived.
At first, they couldn't enter the Palace of Heavenly Purity at all. It was Eunuch Mo who was instructed by Concubine Mi to go out and bring people in.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to tell you"
Concubine Mi looked solemn and simply told the emperor about his death.
Mr. Mi and Mrs. Mi were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground.
“H-this!——How could this happen!?”
"Really? Is this true?"
Mi Guifei was impatient: "Who dares to lie about such a thing? You think too highly of me. This is a great opportunity for our family."
Mr. Mi and Mrs. Mi's eyes immediately lit up. Yes, this is indeed a great opportunity, a once-in-a-century opportunity!
"Yes, yes, our Mi family deserves to be prosperous."
Concubine Mi then discussed the matter with her parents, and everyone was excited. Their only regret was that they couldn't afford such a huge benefit themselves, so they had to share some of the profits with others.
She sent her two nieces-in-law to accompany the eldest prince. The eldest prince should not cause trouble at this time.
The eldest prince waited and waited, but his mother, Duke Liguo, Zhou Hansheng, and the others did not arrive. He was very puzzled. How could the two young ladies of the Mi family keep him under control? They could only act like a spoiled child.
The eldest prince was shocked when he overheard what Concubine Mi was discussing with the two elders of the Mi family!
He rushed out angrily: "Mother Concubine Mi, do you know what you are saying? How dare you! Eunuch Mo, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and send someone to report to the Queen Mother, and pass the news to Lord Zhao, the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, and the royal family! How can such a big thing be kept secret? "
"Shut up!" Concubine Mi's excitement was dampened by her own son. She immediately flew into a rage and slapped the eldest prince in the face. The feeling of guilt and distress only briefly passed through her heart. She coldly scolded him, "I'm here. It's not your turn to give orders!"
"Mi Mufei, you..."
The eldest prince covered his face with his hands, his whole world view was shattered with shock!
He was at a loss.
Concubine Mi was particularly annoyed when she heard the name "Mi Mufei". She sneered, "What Mi Mufei? You were born by me, so you are not allowed to call me that! Remember this, when you ascend the throne, you must appoint me as the Queen Mother, grant the Mi family a title, and promote them well. This is your in-laws family, understand?"
The eldest prince was silent, still not recovering from his shock.
Concubine Mi became even more furious and shook the eldest prince: "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?"
"Empress!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Master Mi and Madam Mi hurriedly tried to dissuade Concubine Mi, "The eldest prince is still young, Your Majesty should teach him well. Why get so anxious and angry?"
"Yes, yes, if you have something to say, just say it nicely. You can't resort to violence. Oh, poor thing, come here and let me see you." Mrs. Mi scolded Concubine Mi while feeling sorry for the eldest prince. She wanted to pull the eldest prince to take a good look at his face to express her pity and sympathy.
The eldest prince did not appreciate it at all. He turned his head to avoid Mrs. Mi's hand and took two steps back, showing resistance.
Mrs. Mi's outstretched hand froze, and she didn't know whether to continue to stretch it out or retract it.
Concubine Mi was filled with anger and disappointment upon seeing this. She pointed at the eldest prince and angrily scolded him, "You are so cold-blooded and heartless! Do you even know who carried you for ten months and gave birth to you? I was counting on you to take extra care of the Mi family, but it seems you were just wishful thinking! What kind of attitude is this!"
Seeing that Concubine Mi was furious and about to fight, Madam Mi quickly took advantage of the situation and pulled her back to persuade her: "Alright, alright, your Majesty, calm down. His Highness is still young. Teach him slowly, teach him slowly!"
Mr. Mi also advised, saying, "My Lady, this is a very important matter."
Concubine Mi snorted, glaring at the eldest prince with dismay. She secretly said that she would settle the score with him later.
She opened her mouth to say something when she heard a commotion at the door. She looked up and saw Yan rushing in with several palace maids and eunuchs.
The eldest prince felt vaguely that she looked familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize her.
Yan smiled: "Your Highness, don't you recognize the sinner?"
The eldest prince's worldview was shattered again: "You, you, you are——"
Yan seemed to have witnessed something extremely interesting and chuckled softly, "It's the guilty woman! Congratulations to the Crown Prince, congratulations to the Imperial Concubine, you finally got what you wanted!"
"you!"
"Just tell me what you mean, there's nothing to hide. Your Highness, do you know why your father passed away without any reason? This was all your mother's doing!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Yan, shut up!" Concubine Mi was also a little frightened.
How could Yan Shi keep quiet? If she didn't take this opportunity to attack and keep Concubine Mi and the eldest prince firmly under her control, when would she?
"Your Highness, it's already this late. Isn't it boring? Why don't we just speak frankly? That would be better for everyone, don't you think?"
Before Concubine Mi could react, Yan smiled and looked at the eldest prince: "Eldest Prince, you don't know yet, right? You are where you are today because of your mother's decisiveness!"
"shut up!"
However, Concubine Mi's scolding was still too slow. The eldest prince had already heard everything Yan said. He thought for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Concubine Mi in disbelief: "Mother Concubine Mi! You, you, you——"
You killed my father!
Yan glanced at her and smiled faintly: "Your Highness, shouldn't you feel very fortunate? If you didn't have a mother like the Imperial Concubine who cared so deeply about you, who knows when Your Highness would be able to succeed to the throne! It's unclear whether it would even be Your Highness's turn in the end!"
Mr. Mi, Mrs. Mi and the others also came to their senses. They were stunned and cold all over, staring blankly at Concubine Mi.
She, their daughter, this is like poking a hole in the sky! How dare she, how dare she.
Concubine Mi was almost going crazy and kept shouting, "Shut up! Shut up!" But Yan turned a deaf ear to her and said everything she should and shouldn't say.
