Chapter 186 Uprooting
Yikun Palace.
Cuizhu looked at Concubine Yao with a worried look on her face.
"Your Highness, I have an important matter to report to you. Please hold on."
Thinking that she was unable to see her father off when he was beheaded, Concubine Yao felt heartbroken. Her eyes were swollen from crying these past few days. She no longer had the dignity she had when she was a noble concubine. She lay limply on the table with a look of despair in her eyes.
"Tell me, the Yao family is gone, is there anything else I can't accept?"
Cuizhu looked at her and hesitated a bit more. What if the Queen knew that the Yao family members had been silenced? What would the Queen do if she couldn't hold on? Sooner or later, the Queen would find out about this. There were many people in the palace who wanted to see her and her daughter laugh. If she didn't say anything, she was afraid that someone would use it to make a fuss and deliberately provoke the Queen.
"Your Majesty, at the morning court today, the Minister of Justice reported that someone from the Yao family was found on the way to exile..."
Concubine Yao stood up anxiously. Perhaps because she hadn't eaten properly for several days, her whole body swayed. Fortunately, Lian Xin beside her supported her in time.
"My lady, please take care of yourself."
Concubine Yao reached out and gently pushed Lian Xin's hand away, stumbled forward, and held Cuizhu's shoulders.
"What happened to the Yao family?"
“You tell me…”
Cuizhu looked at him like this, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and she reached out to support her body.
"Your Highness, you must promise me that you will hold on no matter what. There are so many people in this palace waiting to see you make a fool of yourself. If you can't hold on, they will laugh at our Yikun Palace to death, and it is very likely that it will also affect His Royal Highness Prince Rong.
As he spoke, he helped Concubine Yao sit down.
Concubine Yao had a bad premonition in her heart, and her hand holding Cuizhu couldn't help but tremble.
"you say………"
Cuizhu's eyes suddenly turned red.
"The Yao family was assassinated on the way to exile, and no one survived..."
When Concubine Yao heard this, her mind went blank at first, and then she started muttering like a madman.
"No... this is impossible, this must be fake..."
Cuizhu couldn't bear to see her like this.
“Your Majesty…”
Concubine Yao struggled to get up.
"I want to see the emperor, I want to see Prince Rong..."
But he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Cuizhu and Lianxin exclaimed.
“Your Majesty…”
"Someone, call the imperial physician!"
"My queen, my queen, wake up."
Prince Rong's Mansion.
Prince Rong's face was filled with anger.
Su Yan looked at his furious expression and bowed.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent for letting the Princess Regent go back like this."
Prince Rong grabbed the cup on the table and threw it at Su Yan, roaring.
"You are more than incompetent."
"It was your bad idea in the first place."
"If I hadn't planned to marry Xiao Fuguang, how could so many disasters have happened later?"
Su Yan did not dodge and let the cup hit him.
"Your Highness, I was thinking of you at the beginning. I didn't expect Xiao Fuguang to be so ungrateful."
"I can confirm that she was responsible for the Yao family incident. However, I cannot convict her based on just a jade pendant. I am incompetent."
Then he sighed again.
"It seems that with the Regent protecting her, it will be impossible for us to convict her according to the law."
Prince Rong heard this and spoke with hatred on his face.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be the law. You're full of ideas, aren't you? Why don't you think of another way? I want her dead, buried with the Yao family."
Su Yan pondered for a moment and spoke after hearing this.
"If it were someone else, the prince would have killed her if he wanted to, but she has the regent behind her..."
Prince Rong raised his hand and slammed his fist on the table.
"The Regent... The Regent, the Regent again. Why does he always go against me?"
When Su Yan saw this, a gleam flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, if we want to get rid of Xiao Fuguang, we can only uproot the Regent Palace."
