Chapter 394 Does Sister Want to Know Who the Murderer Is?
"Since you are so eager to go to the Langya Prince's Mansion to recall what it was like to be in the dungeon, then I will grant your wish."
Yan Chenyu quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "This servant will never dare to do it again. This servant will obey the king from now on."
"This servant does not want to go to the dungeon of the Prince's mansion."
That was a place she never wanted to mention again in her life. She originally thought that being locked in a dark and sunless dungeon meant only death awaited her.
Unexpectedly, there was an inside agent from the Southern Li Kingdom within this royal palace.
That's how I was saved.
Yan Changfeng kicked Yan Chenyu away, "Then you can stay here, and you don't need to go to the Prince's Mansion."
"I will send someone to speak with them."
"Yes," Yan Chenyu said in a low voice.
The next day.
Emperor Xiao Yu was not only shocked to hear that Yan Chenyu had returned to the restaurant, but also to hear that the Song family had been massacred.
When Xiao Yu received the news, Song Zhuran happened to be by his side.
The person who came to report glanced at Song Zhuran subconsciously.
"Step down," Xiao Yu said.
After everyone had left, Xiao Yu comforted Song Zhuran, "I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. My beloved consort, please don't be too sad."
"You need to take care of your health."
Song Zhuran said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xiao Yu added, "It's best not to let the Empress know about this for now, lest the child in her womb be stimulated and cause any problems."
"That's what I think too."
Song Zhuran looked sad. "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well today, so I will return to Mingyue Palace first."
The Emperor knew that Song Zhuran was upset because of this news, and said softly, "Go."
Song Zhuran got up and left, and as she turned around, a smile appeared on her lips.
Song Zhuran did not return to Mingyue Palace, but went directly to the Empress's Changchun Palace.
She used this to vent her anger and provoke the Empress, so how could she not tell her good sister?
Song Zhuran really couldn't understand why her master insisted on waiting until the Empress's child was born, even if it meant becoming a rebel, since Xiao Yu had brought misery to the world.
Isn't this precisely the time to rebel? At that time, the people will only support them.
When Song Zhuran arrived at Changchun Palace, Empress Song Zhuyi was sipping bird's nest soup with a spoon.
Song Zhuran smiled sweetly, "Sister, Ranran has come to see you."
"Ranran has come today to tell her elder sister some good news."
Song Zhuyi glanced at Song Zhuran indifferently, without saying a word.
This did not affect Song Zhuran's mood at all. Let her find out about all of this. "Sister, I heard some news from the Emperor today."
"The entire Song family has been killed."
When Song Zhuran said the last four words, she spoke very slowly, her eyes blinking as she stared intently at Song Zhuyi's expression.
Song Zhuran paused in calculating the blood swallow's breath.
Song Zhuran continued, "Does Sister want to know who the murderer is?"
"It's Ranran, hehe."
"Sister, you have no idea how spectacular it was last night when there was such a heavy snowfall and blood was splattered on the snow. It was like a magnificent painting."
Seeing this, Shaoyao took the bowl from Song Zhuyi's hand and gently held Song Zhuyi's arm.
Song Zhuyi was somewhat relieved. "You came here today just to tell me this?"
"Does Sister think there's anything else?" Song Zhuran's eyes darted to Empress Song Zhuyi's stomach. "I almost forgot."
"My older sister isn't treating Ranran well anymore either."
"Sister, Ranran came here today to tell you to cherish the last days you and this child are together."
"After Master's wedding, I will let the child in your womb be born."
Song Zhuyi tightly protected her abdomen, "Are you crazy? He's only seven months pregnant, how can he give birth?"
"Isn't there a saying among the people, 'Seven months to live, eight months to die'? Besides, doesn't Sister have a very skilled doctor by her side? Why can't she have children?"
Song Zhuran said calmly, "Actually, whether he lives or dies, or whether he is born or not, is not very important to me."
"I just want to see if my sister is having a boy or a girl."
"Then look at how heartbroken the older sister is for her child, she must look so beautiful."
After saying this, Song Zhuran got up and left.
Empress Song Zhuyi was trembling all over. After Song Zhuran left, Jiang Wanning came out from the side pavilion and said, "Your Majesty."
Jiang Wanning stepped forward and took the Empress's pulse.
"Although I received the news long ago, I was still swayed by this devil's emotions," Empress Song Zhuyi said painfully.
"It is my fault; the person I sent was a step too late."
"This is not your fault," Empress Song Zhuyi said. "It is the fate of this Song family."
"It's also the result of my father's actions."
"All I want now is for my baby to be born safely. Ningning, you have to help me."
Empress Song Zhuyi held Jiang Wanning's hand tightly, and Jiang Wanning reached out and held the Empress's hand in return, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured."
"I will ensure the safety of Your Majesty and the child. Right now," Jiang Wanning said, "the day after tomorrow is the wedding of Chen Jie and Yan Chenyu."
"Song Zhuran won't let them actually get married, so they'll probably make their move around that time."
"When that day comes, I will send you out of the palace first, because I'm afraid that nowhere in the palace will be safe then."
The Empress looked worried. "I am the Empress. How can I leave the palace?"
Consort Zhao, who had been mostly silent, said, "Your Majesty, the most dangerous place is the safest place."
"Isn't there a secret passage in Mingyue Palace? The Imperial Noble Consort will definitely not be in Mingyue Palace that day. You can change into some light clothes and go out through there."
"Then the Princess of Langya will send someone to pick you up at the Prince Consort's residence."
"Although this method is dangerous, they would never expect us to use it."
"The time was chosen to be when the prince consort went to fetch the bride."
Jiang Wanning glanced at Consort Zhao, "What Consort Zhao said is exactly what I was thinking."
"The prince will arrange for people to be in the prince consort's residence at that time."
"Alright, I'll do as you say," said Empress Song Zhuyi.
......
On the day of the wedding.
Song Zhuran dressed herself up carefully before coming from Mingyue Palace to Emperor Xiao Yu's study.
She quietly stayed by Xiao Yu's side.
Chen Jie rode his horse and led the wedding procession to the royal villa to pick up Yan Chenyu. As soon as he dismounted, a strange servant boy approached him and said, "Sir, the Empress has asked me to deliver a message to you."
Chen Jie's heart tightened, and he looked at the servant, "What is it?"
"Her Majesty said that today is the best time, and she has already arranged everything."
"You only need to prepare the final things, sir."
Chen Jie panicked and looked around before realizing that the wedding procession and the people around him were all his personal guards.
Weapons were hidden in each waistband and sleeve.
