Chapter 54 Cui's Care



Chapter 54 Cui's Care

As for the Queen Mother, someone had reported what happened in Hanguang Palace to her long ago. She thought that the world was peaceful and the harem was tranquil, which should be a good sign. She never expected that there were concubines in the harem who practiced witchcraft in order to compete for favor.

The instigator of such evil magic that disrupted the government must be severely punished in order to prevent future troubles. An imperial decree was immediately issued, saying that the emperor was merciful, but the people who were involved in such evil magic that caused chaos must not be forgiven, and the nine clans of Mr. Yun must be executed to serve as a warning to others.

The Emperor of Great Chu was afraid that the Queen Mother would be angry about this matter, so he hurried to Rongle Palace.

But Concubine Chen Gui had already arrived, and now she was gently massaging the empress dowager's shoulders: "Don't be angry, empress dowager, just punish her, don't let your anger harm your health."

Although Concubine Chen felt that the punishment was too severe, she would not reveal it in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother patted Concubine Chen Gui's hand and said, "I am sorry for wronging you in this matter."

Concubine Chen shook her head and looked at the Great Chu Emperor: "Thanks to your majesty for your wisdom and for finding out the truth and clearing my name."

This matter caused a sensation among the people, and soon all the people of Da Chu knew that the Emperor of Da Chu and the current Queen Mother hated the art of witchcraft the most.

The people in the harem were naturally in a state of panic. The noble lady in Pu Wen Palace initially harbored resentment towards Concubine Chen. If she had agreed to this matter, why would they have ended up in this situation now?

After hearing how the Queen Mother dealt with the people in Yun Gui's family, he realized that fortunately he was just an accomplice, so he was able to save his life and his family was not implicated.

Just when Noble Fang was feeling uneasy, Mrs. Cui, who had promised to marry her, came to her house.

The one who agreed to marry Cui was none other than the biological mother of the Third Prince, the former Consort De.

After being banished to the cold palace, the Cui family was instantly destroyed. Cui was heartbroken and felt that her previous friendship with the emperor was in vain.

But in the eyes of the emperor, family, country and the world have always been the first priority, and these love affairs must be put behind.

But a few days ago, Jinchen actually came to Puwen Hall.

"How dare you come to see me? Don't let His Majesty be upset with you." When Cui saw the third prince coming, she was naturally worried. Now that the Cui family is gone, it is good to be able to save these children.

"Don't worry, mother," the third prince said, his voice much more mature, "Father only confined mother to her house, but he didn't say that you can't come to visit."

"Besides, coming to visit my mother will show that I am a very filial person and will win back my father's love."

Cui was surprised to see the calmness in the Third Prince's words. In the past, she had spoiled this child and made him arrogant. She was worried that he would suffer if he left the Cui family's protection, but she did not expect that he would grow up so quickly.

"Jinchen, you have grown up."

The Third Prince did not look at Cui, but walked to her side and said softly: "Don't worry, mother. Now I have the guidance of an expert, and I will definitely compete with the Crown Prince."

Cui's eyes widened. When the Cui family was still in existence, they could never compete with the crown prince. But now...

He immediately said: "Jinchen..."

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Third Prince: "Mother, just stay here and wait for me to achieve success and fame, and I will definitely take you back."

Seeing the determination in his eyes, Cui nodded in agreement despite having some hesitation.

Anyway, I have nothing to lose, so I might as well take a chance.

The third prince turned around, his eyes full of determination.

In the past, he still had some doubts about Xintian, but now, under his guidance several times, he has won praise from his father. It was naturally his advice that he came to the Puwen Palace to see his mother today.

He firmly believed that as long as he took one step at a time, it would only be a matter of time before he could depose the crown prince and ascend the throne.

Naturally, this matter reached the ears of the Great Chu Emperor. When everyone thought that he would punish the Third Prince, the Great Chu Emperor only said: "You are a filial son."

This made the Third Prince trust Xintian's plan even more.

Cui originally looked down on people like Concubine Fang. Although she had been at odds with Concubine Chen in the past, Concubine Fang was just a noble lady, but she dared to frame Concubine Chen again and again and spread witchcraft in the palace. She really deserved to be put to death.

But a few days ago, Jin Chen sent a message asking me to win over Concubine Fang and plant hatred towards Concubine Chen in her heart, so that she would be useful in the future.

"Sister Fang, please take good care of yourself." Cui said with concern, "Your Majesty is really cruel. You just had a miscarriage and he sent you to this cold place."

Without waiting for the noble lady to answer, he waved to Bai Zhi behind him and said, "Here are two quilts. It's cold at night, so you should take good care of yourself, sister."

"Here are some food." He took the food box from Bai Wei and passed it to her: "Sister, you must take good care of yourself today, so I won't disturb you."

After saying this, Cui left with the maid beside her.

The noble lady behind him was quite confused. What did Cui mean by this? Could it be that she was just concerned about him? Could she be so kind?

The maidservant beside her was indignant: "Why is she pretending here? According to her position, she is just a promise now."

And the noble lady seemed to have suddenly grown a brain, and she grabbed the maid and said, "Shut up, no matter how poor she is, she still gave birth to two princes."

Then he turned around and said, "What about me? What do I have?"

His tone was full of loneliness.

The maid realized that she had said something wrong, so she stepped forward and hugged the noble lady: "Don't worry, noble lady. You are still young, and there will always be a chance."

Lady Fang said no more and just told the maid to make the bed.

At this time, Concubine Shu in Zhuhua Palace also had nightmares for several nights.

In the dream, it was Lady Yun and her nine murdered clansmen who came to claim his life.

"It's not me, it's not me, go away..." Shupin woke up from the nightmare again, and the maid beside her hurried forward to support her.

"My queen is having a nightmare again."

Shupin just kept leaning into the maid's arms but didn't say anything.

Seeing this, the maid patted Shupin and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I have asked around and found that His Majesty did not give Yun Guiren a chance to speak. We did not leave any evidence behind, so it will definitely not implicate Madam."

When Shupin heard this, she raised her head and asked, "Really?"

"Really." The maid nodded firmly.

"Your Majesty is so cruel. I am sorry to Sister Yun. This object was clearly buried in her yard. How did it end up in front of Sister Yun's room? Could it be that Yong'an really knows some kind of magic?"

He muttered something, but other thoughts were in his mind.

The maidservant at the side also echoed, "If Princess Yong'an really knows some kind of magic, then not only her, but also Concubine Chen and Marquis Dingguo's mansion will be in danger."

The look in her eyes was so vicious that it even surpassed Shupin's.
