Chapter 40: Slide and Kneel in Front of King Rui
When Xiu'er saw King Rui, she had an idea and without saying a word, she slid down and knelt in front of King Rui.
"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! My young lady was beaten to death by the Empress! Please go and save her!"
Jiang Hanyu, whose heart was as clear as a mirror: "......"
Just because she can make a living person disappear from the face of the earth, no matter who fights her, the other party will be in trouble.
Although he knew that whoever provoked her would be doomed to misfortune, he still cooperated and entered the Queen's palace with an angry look.
It’s nothing, I just want to play with her.
No matter what she does, I will stand with her and support her.
"You beat my fiancée to death?"
"I will go to the Empress Dowager and ask for an explanation."
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the unconscious Su Yuyan and ran straight to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Queen: “???!!!”
The queen was so angry that she vomited blood after spending two million silver coins and not only failed to get anything done but was fooled around.
Two million! That was four-fifths of her personal savings from her lifetime of hard work!
How could she not feel sad!
Inside Yongshou Palace.
The imperial physician who took the pulse of the unconscious Su Yuyan said.
"Empress Dowager, His Royal Highness Prince Rui, Miss Su fainted from shock. I will give her a few acupuncture needles and boil some medicine and she will wake up."
After the imperial physician left, the empress dowager looked at Xiu'er, who had tears on her face.
"Why did the Queen suddenly summon Su Yatou?"
Xiu'er answered respectfully.
"To answer the Empress Dowager, the Empress summoned Miss here so that she could go before the Emperor and spread rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had ordered her to poison His Royal Highness the Prince of Rui. This is a fabrication made up by Miss."
"The Empress promised Miss that she would help her become the mother of a country after the matter was accomplished. The Empress also said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has feelings for her."
"The young lady said that she no longer loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and her wedding to His Royal Highness the Prince of Rui is approaching, so she did not agree."
"Then the Empress threatened Miss that she must come forward to clarify things for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Miss didn't want to confuse right and wrong and refused to agree."
"The Empress, in her rage, sent a maid to capture the young lady, intending to force her to sign and seal her name. Then, she unilaterally came out to clarify the matter, using the signed and sealed documents."
"The young lady was afraid of being tortured, so she ran and hid. Seeing this, the Empress ordered the palace maids to catch the young lady as well."
"Seeing so many people trying to catch her, the young lady knew she couldn't escape, so she fainted from fear."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately sent someone to call the Queen over.
The Queen has been sitting firmly on the throne for so many years, and her psychological quality and ability to deal with emergencies are unmatched.
So she had already thought of an excuse on the way to Yongshou Palace.
When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, the empress dowager went straight to the point.
"Why did the Queen summon Su Yatou?"
The queen readily accepted the advice.
"In reply to your Majesty, the Dafeng royal family has been dwindling in descendants, and now only the Crown Prince and Prince Rui remain. They both call me Mother, so I have specially summoned Miss Su to reward her with some rare treasures."
"Firstly, the Crown Prince did something wrong a few days ago, and he wants Miss Su to mediate the relationship between the two brothers in front of Prince Rui. Secondly, her wedding to Prince Rui is imminent, and as a mother, it is only right for me to reward my daughter-in-law with some good things in advance."
After she finished speaking, the two trusted maids and six palace maids who came with the Queen respectfully placed the brocade boxes in their arms on the big table.
After the gift was presented, the Queen looked at Prince Rui with a forced smile.
"The Crown Prince has suffered a great blow due to the Crown Princess's betrayal. He has recently been feeling that those he cares about will also betray him, which is why he made the mistake in a moment of confusion. I have already reprimanded him, and I hope that Your Majesty, Prince Rui, will be magnanimous and let this matter go."
Prince Rui said nothing, but just sneered contemptuously.
When Jiang Hanyu does something, when he doesn't attack you, you can jump around as much as you want, he even hopes that you jump as high as possible, but when he decides to attack you, at best you will lose your life, at worst you will be ruined, infamous for eternity, and live a life worse than death.
How could the empress dowager, who was the queen of palace fighting twice, not be able to judge the truth in the queen's words?
She favors Prince Rui, but the Crown Prince is both the eldest son and the legitimate son.
The position of crown prince is related to the foundation of the country. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the queen mother still hopes that her two remaining grandsons will not fight against each other.
After sending the Queen away, the Queen Mother looked at Prince Rui.
"The enemy is watching covetously, ready to take advantage of any opportunity. If Daxing were to experience internal unrest at this time, the border would most likely be turbulent again. The Crown Prince is the legitimate heir and the eldest son. This matter is over now. I will send people to closely monitor the Crown Prince's actions from now on."
Rui Wangdao.
"This incident alone is not enough to shake his position as crown prince."
"It's easy to change a country, but hard to change one's nature. Since he has decided to kill my grandson, he won't rest until he's dead."
"If my prediction was wrong and the Crown Prince never attacks me again, then for the sake of the Empress Dowager, I will not hold it against him. If he attacks me again, I will make sure he is infamous forever."
The Queen Mother knew that Prince Rui would not suffer any loss.
Although the fact that the Crown Prince had Su Yuyan poison Prince Rui did not cause any harm to Prince Rui, given Prince Rui's character, it was inevitable that he would first run to the East Palace and slap the Crown Prince ten times, and then use a little trick to make the Crown Prince fall into the trap he had dug so that he could take revenge.
The empress dowager, who had witnessed the emperor slaughtering his brothers and sisters, did not want to witness the two remaining grandchildren of the emperor killing each other.
"I will give that foolish Crown Prince and that narrow-minded Queen a good beating."
"You have no ambition to be emperor. You simply did what a prince should have done, defending the empire established by Emperor Taizu and protecting the people of Dafeng. Yet, they cannot tolerate your behavior."
"If they are truly unrepentant and still want to kill you, then you should strike when the time is right."
"When you were little, whenever the Crown Prince and Prince Kang called you a motherless woman, you would beat them until they were black and blue. When you grew up, you were both talented in civil and military affairs and had made great military achievements. The Crown Prince and Prince Kang often secretly bullied you, but I used to make you not to bother with those less capable for the sake of the royal family's reputation and harmony."
"I can tolerate their shameful plots, but I cannot tolerate them actually attacking you. That's why when Prince Kang poisoned you a few days ago and you chopped off his head, I immediately went to the Emperor. In the end, your father didn't punish you at all."
"I know you never put yourself in a difficult position. Over the years, you haven't argued too much with the other two princes for my sake. You grew up by my side, gifted with intelligence, both civil and military, and extremely filial. I treat you with even more affection than the emperor."
"Give them one chance this time. If the Queen and her son try to kill you again, you will let them go and retaliate."
"I've figured it out at this age. What's the point of having to appoint the eldest son as the crown prince? Could it be that because the crown prince is so incompetent, the empire conquered by countless heroes must be handed over to him?"
"The throne of the Emperor belongs to the capable. This is the way to be responsible to the heroes who conquered the world and to the people. Therefore, if the Queen and her son plot to kill you again, follow your heart and kill them. I will do everything for you."
King Rui was deeply moved when he heard this.
