Chapter 411 The Mystery of the Queen’s Life

Prince Yi seemed to be in a good mood. He patted Shen Ning on the shoulder and comforted him.

Who knew that this dog emperor seemed to be secretly assisted by gods, and he avoided the plots time and time again.

"Prince Rong was discovered by him before."

"The Third Prince is a hopeless person. He was actually demoted to the Imperial Clan House by the Emperor of Great Chu."

Prince Yi paused for a moment and said, "Then what about the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince?"

"That's enough!" Shen Ning felt indescribably annoyed when he heard Prince Yi mention the prince of the Great Chu Emperor again.

"Why do you keep thinking about controlling his kingdom through his child? Not to mention other things, he can't even control his own child, let alone a woman like me."

Thinking of this, Shen Ning suddenly sat up straight and looked at Prince Yi: "Have you never cared about avenging my father? Do you want to control the Great Chu Kingdom?"

Shen Ning guessed his thoughts, and Prince Yi was panicked for a moment. He quickly explained, "What nonsense are you talking about? I have been with you through thick and thin for so many years. How can you question me like this?"

Shen Ning was still confused.

But in the current situation, apart from Prince Yi, she had no one else she could trust, so she could only suppress her doubts and continue to speak: "The fifth prince, I haven't seen him since I entered the palace."

"I have also inquired with the servants around Concubine De. This fifth prince has never been valued by Concubine De. He is weak and incompetent."

"I guess he's a hopeless case."

"Besides, as for the Fourth Prince, his mother is originally from the Dali Kingdom, and the Great Chu Emperor himself will not use him."

"Even if you really caught him and helped him ascend the throne, do you think he would defect to the Great Chu Kingdom or the disappeared Cheng Kingdom?"

Knowing that what Shen Ning said made sense, Prince Yi did not say anything else.

Shen Ning is now clear in his mind that Prince Yi is probably not really trying to avenge his father.

I have planned all this along, and have been an old mother in the harem of the Emperor of Great Chu for all this time, not for the purpose of fulfilling King Yi's great cause for generations to come.

She didn't have any extra thoughts.

She just wanted the Emperor of Great Chu to die and be buried with her father.

As for the Queen Mother, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor of Great Chu's favorite concubine, it is not impossible to bring them along as well.

Especially that Song Qingyan. I have suffered so much from her during the time I have been in the palace. I cannot get rid of the hatred in my heart unless she dies.

Seeing that Prince Yi didn't say anything, Shen Ning turned to look at him, his eyes full of temptation: "Don't talk about me either."

"I asked you to arrange an assassination, but you couldn't do it."

"It doesn't matter if we fail. If the plague in Dingze City spreads more widely, Lu Ao and Song Qingyan will be buried in Dingze City."

"Now it's good. Not only have the two of them returned safely, but even the plague in Dingze City has been resolved."

"What is this?"

"It's like scratching an itch."

Because he had been holding a grudge for a long time, Shen Ning vented all his dissatisfaction during this period.

As Shen Ning had exposed Prince Yi's true feelings, he seemed to be unable to speak, and just let Shen Ning bombard him.

"No matter what you do, I will kill him tomorrow." Shen Ning said this with gritted teeth, without a trace of emotion.

Prince Yi didn't know how to handle this matter for a moment, so he could only nod and agree: "Just go ahead and do it, but make sure you are safe and don't put yourself in danger."

"Your Highness, Eunuch Meng from His Majesty's side is here." Yun Lan suddenly knocked on the door anxiously. "May I come in and help Your Highness change clothes?"

"What is he doing here so late?" Shen Ning looked at Prince Yi in confusion.

Prince Yi stood up quickly and put on his clothes: "Be careful, let Yueran find me if anything happens."

Having said this, he turned around and left through the window.

Yunlan pushed the door open and a strange smell rushed into her nostrils. She frowned and walked forward to help Shen Ning change clothes.

Soon, the noise outside became louder and louder. Shen Ning looked up at Yun Lan in confusion and asked, "Is it someone around His Majesty?"

Listening to the sounds outside, they don't sound like the footsteps of eunuchs.

Instead, it sounds like the military... the voice of the Yulin Army?

What happened that required the Emperor of Great Chu to send the Yu Lin Army to his palace in the middle of the night?

Thinking of this, Shen Ning subconsciously looked up at the window where Prince Yi had just left, and even wondered if Prince Yi's whereabouts had been discovered.

Shen Ning didn't bother to let Yunlan do her makeup anymore, so she stood up and went out.

When I pushed the door open, it was indeed Meng Quande.

There was even Zhu Gushan, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army.

"Eunuch Meng, this is..."

Meng Quande turned his head to look at Shen Ning, and was about to speak when he was stopped by Shen Ning's scream.

"What are you doing!" Shen Ning rushed directly into the yard and was about to run towards Yue Ran who was now controlled by Yu Linjun.

But his way was blocked by the Yu Lin army in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we are following the order of His Majesty to invite Miss Yueran to visit Longsheng Palace. Your Majesty, please do not disobey the order." Meng Quande said this politely, but his tone was full of unquestionable authority.

Shen Ning was shocked for a moment, and after a long while he asked, "Excuse me, Eunuch Meng, what did Yue Ran do wrong?"

"Whatever mistake you made, your majesty should review it first." Meng Quande's movements and demeanor still seemed respectful, but his tone was full of sarcasm. A maidservant beside the emperor actually dared to lay hands on the crown prince.

Maybe this was instigated by the Queen!

"If I were to reveal Yue Ran's crimes like this, and if I were to make a mistake and spread the news throughout the six palaces, I'm afraid it would be detrimental to Your Majesty."

"I will follow my father-in-law to Longsheng Palace to meet His Majesty!" Shen Ning said hurriedly, with even a hint of pleading in his tone.

She and Yue Ran had indeed only known each other for a short time, and she was even angry with him in the past because she thought Yue Ran was someone close to Prince Yi.

But during this period of time, Du Yueran took care of everything very well and almost never let me worry.

She gradually developed a sense of dependence on Du Yueran and also developed some feelings for him.

Even if we take a step back and say that after the destruction of Cheng State, the only Cheng people around him was Prince Yi. With Yue Ran by his side, he felt like he was seeing his own sister.

She naturally couldn't let Yueran bear all this alone, and she was even more afraid that she would betray herself.

At this time, Zhu Gushan's voice rang out from the side: "Take the person away."

After saying this, he left Jinxiu Palace without looking back.

Seeing the Jinxiu Palace suddenly in chaos, Bai Ling came out of her room and rushed to Shen Ning.

Looking at Yunlan who was following behind Shen Ning: "What's wrong?"

Yunlan shook her head, looking bewildered and at a loss.

Yunlan should be happy in her heart, because Yueran occupies the position of the head maid in the Jinxiu Palace, and the empress neglects her.
