Chapter 410: Threatening the Snow Moon Nation? The ending is satisfying

There were so many bees that they formed a black shadow.

The maids and eunuchs were so scared that they fled everywhere, let alone helping Concubine Xue to drive away the bees.

No matter where Princess Xue Ce hides, the bees will always follow her and bite her.

Qin Xiao waited until the bees had bitten enough before he led his men forward, drove the bees away, and then took Concubine Xue to see his master.

At this time, Concubine Xue was so frightened that she lost her soul. When Qin Xiao saved her, she thought that Xiao Jinyan had asked him to come, and she cried with joy.

"Guard Qin, quickly call Doctor Yu over. My face is full of damn bees. How dare they sting my face?"

Qin Xiao said coldly: "Doctor Yu, please wait. The master wants to see Concubine Xue now. There is something important."

Even without looking in the mirror, one could tell that Concubine Xue Ce knew that her face was definitely disfigured and she was very upset. She couldn't go to see Xiao Jinyan in such a upset state.

"I can't go see His Highness like this. Tell His Highness that I was stung by a bee and I will go see him after I recover."

"That's not up to you." Qin Xiao ordered: "Take her to see the master."

Concubine Xue was being held by two guards, one on each side. As a weak woman, she couldn't break free at all. She glared at Qin Xiao angrily: "How dare you, a mere guard, lay hands on this princess?"

Qin Xiao snorted: "Why not? As long as the master says so, I dare to kill you now."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xue was stunned and frightened.

Qin Xiao didn't waste time talking to her and took her to the Hehuan Palace.

Xiao Jinyan stood at the doorway, lowering his eyes to look at Concubine Xue, only to see that her pretty face was covered in red spots, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in disarray. How could she look like a princess?

Qin Xiao stepped forward and saluted: "Master, Concubine Xue is here."

Concubine Xue was forced to kneel on the ground by the guards. She pointed at Qin Xiao angrily and said with tears in her eyes: "Your Highness, you have to make the decision for me. How dare Qin Xiao treat me like this."

Xiao Jinyan looked at her like that, not hiding the disgust in his eyes at all: "Princess Xue, you are plotting to harm my offspring, and you still want me to make the decision for you? I wish I could execute you right now."

Concubine Xue was shocked. How did Xiao Jinyan know that she wanted to harm the Crown Princess's child?

She pretended to be calm and retorted: "Your Highness, what do you mean by saying this? How could I harm your offspring?"

Xiao Jinyan threw the confession in his hand in front of Concubine Xue, "Take a look for yourself."

Concubine Xue looked at the confession on the ground, picked it up in confusion, and after reading it, her face turned pale. Shui Yao betrayed herself? This is impossible.

She raised her head abruptly and looked at Xiao Jinyan, "Your Highness, this confession must be false. How could I be so vicious? Someone must have deliberately framed me."

"You dare to make excuses when you are about to die?" Xiao Jinyan didn't waste time talking to her and shouted angrily: "Someone, bring Shui Yao up."

The guards brought Shui Yao up.

When Concubine Xue saw Shui Yao, she shouted angrily: "Shui Yao, how dare you slander me? Who gave you the courage?"

Shui Yao knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "Princess, I dare not slander you."

Concubine Xue Ce snorted complacently: "You don't have the guts to do that."

"Your Highness, I did not slander the princess. It was indeed the princess who ordered me to kill the young masters. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred courages, I would not dare to harm the royal heir." Shui Yao said tremblingly, her body aching and itching, as if she was being bitten by countless insects.

"What did you say?" Concubine Xue was so angry that she slapped him twice. "How dare you, a little maid, slander this princess? Who gave you the courage?"

Xiao Jinyan shouted angrily, "That's enough, Concubine Xue, the evidence is here, and you're still trying to make excuses? The East Palace cannot tolerate a vicious woman like you. A woman like you with a heart as vicious as a snake should be killed with a thousand swords."

Concubine Xue was completely panicked when she heard this. Thinking of her backer, she pretended to be calm and said, "Your Highness, you can't treat me like this. I am a princess of a country. The Snow Moon Country is behind me..."

Xiao Jinyan interrupted her coldly, "So what if you are the princess of Xueyue Kingdom? Once you enter Daxia, you should abide by the etiquette and rules of Daxia and the rules and laws of the palace. If you dare to harm the heir to the throne, it is not too much to kill you."

Concubine Xue looked at the cold-blooded Xiao Jinyan and retorted: "Your Highness, aren't the Crown Princess' children fine? Why do you want to punish me so severely if they are fine? If Your Highness kills me, the Snow Moon Kingdom will definitely not let Da Xia off easily..."

"Pah pah" Concubine Xue's cheeks swelled up instantly.

Xiao Jinyan clenched his fists, his eyes were cold and murderous: "You are not worthy of being a human being."

Concubine Xue covered her face and said angrily, "I am not worthy of being a human being? What about Your Highness? I have been married into the East Palace and have never slept with a man. I also want to have children and experience the joy of having children, but has Your Highness given me a chance?"

Xiao Jinyan snorted coldly: "Before you married into the East Palace, I told you clearly that even if you married into the East Palace, I would not like you. If I don't like you, why would I touch you?"

Concubine Xue was stunned.

The Queen Mother had just walked to the door of the Hehuan Palace when she heard the Crown Prince's words and her brows frowned.

Wan Xin supported the Queen Mother and looked at the Crown Prince who was standing in the corridor. Even from such a distance, she could still feel the cold-blooded aura emanating from him.

She retracted her gaze and said softly, "Queen Mother, I will help you in."

The Queen Mother nodded.

I didn’t see Taotao and Susu yesterday, so the Queen Mother came today. I didn’t expect to see this scene.

"The Queen Mother is here." As the eunuch shouted, everyone looked over.

When Xiao Jinyan saw the Queen Mother coming, he stepped forward to greet her: "The Imperial Grandson pays his respects to the Imperial Madam."

The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xue who was kneeling on the ground and asked the Crown Prince, "What happened?"

Xiao Jinyan said: "Replying to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Xue has tried to poison the Crown Prince time and again. The evidence is solid, but Concubine Xue is arrogant and refuses to admit her mistakes."

The Queen Mother had lived to such an old age and had seen many intrigues and various means of vying for favor in the palace. "How could he do such a thing?"

The Queen Mother looked at the Prince, "Does the Emperor know about this?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "Grandma, my father doesn't know yet. I will inform him now."

He turned around and told Liu Xi to tell the emperor.

The emperor's message came quickly from Yu's study.

In the study

The emperor and the empress dowager sat on the throne together.

Xiao Jinyan explained the whole process, "Father, Concubine Xue is as vicious as a snake. If I hadn't noticed something was wrong, I'm afraid the consequences would be disastrous."

When the emperor learned how Concubine Xue poisoned Taotao and Susu, he was furious. "Concubine Xue, you are a princess of a country. How can you be so vicious? I finally had a granddaughter, but I almost lost her because of your jealousy. I shouldn't have agreed to your marriage. This is not a marriage, it's revenge."

When Concubine Xue saw that the emperor was so angry, she realized that she was really in trouble this time.

"Your Majesty, I was confused for the moment. I will definitely change my ways in the future. Please spare my life."

Xiao Jinyan was afraid that the emperor would be concerned about Xueyue Country, so he suggested, "Father, such a scheming and vicious person cannot be kept."

Concubine Xue Ce now clearly realized that Xiao Jinyan wanted to kill her. After all, she was a princess!

"Your Highness, how can you be so cold-blooded and heartless? Aren't you afraid of angering the Snow Moon Nation?"

Xiao Jinyan sneered, "Isn't it just the Xueyue Kingdom? Since Daxia can defeat Xueyue once, it can defeat Xueyue Kingdom again. By then, I will personally lead the army to fight. As a great country like Daxia, how can we be afraid of Xueyue Kingdom?"

The emperor also felt that what the crown prince said made sense. He glared at Concubine Xue and said, "Concubine Xue's crime of poisoning the heir to the throne is unforgivable. You will be demoted to Zhaoshun and sent to the cold palace. You are not allowed to leave the cold palace without my order."

Concubine Xue Ce immediately collapsed to the ground.

For Xiao Jinyan, sending Concubine Xue to the cold palace was too easy for her, but he didn't say anything. After she was sent to the cold palace, he had plenty of ways to make Concubine Xue's life a living hell.

This is what happens when you touch his scales!

Xueyan was dragged away by the guards and locked up in the cold palace.

When Shui Yao saw the princess being locked up in the cold palace, she cried and begged to be allowed to leave.

"Your Highness, I have said all I should say. Please let me leave the palace." Shui Yao said while kowtowing continuously.

Xiao Jinyan glanced at Shui Yao. The saying "like master, like servant" was absolutely true. Shui Yao was also as vicious as a snake.

"I have not promised to let you leave the palace. Saving your life is already a great favor."

Seeing that she couldn't get out of the palace, Shui Yao had to retreat and do the next best thing, "Then where will your Highness arrange for the slave to work?"

Xiao Jinyan said coldly: "You were originally Princess Xueyan's personal maid, so you should continue to serve her. Otherwise, with your vicious heart, who would dare to keep you by their side?"

When Shui Yao heard that she was going to the cold palace to serve the princess, she knew that there was no way out for her once she entered the cold palace, and that she would be tortured to death if she didn't die of old age.

"Your Highness, I don't want to go to the cold palace. Please arrange another errand for me."

Xiao Jinyan ignored Shui Yao and said, "Qin Xiao, take her away."

"I obey your command." Qin Xiao called two guards and took Shui Yao to the cold palace.

In the golden autumn of October, the weather is still a bit hot.

However, the cold palace is located in a remote area, with tall trees that block out the sun, making it cool and a bit eerie.

The palace lanterns on both sides of the road have fallen into disrepair, and the palace walls are covered with green plants.

Qin Xiao brought Shui Yao to the door of the cold palace and pushed Shui Yao in.

Shui Yao got up from the ground, looked at the eerie and terrifying harem, and started crying in fear.

The guard shouted angrily: "What are you standing there for? Why don't you go see your princess?"

Shui Yao was driven by the guards to the palace where Xue Yan lived. Although it was called a palace, it was actually in ruins and spider webs could be seen everywhere.

Concubine Xue Ce vented her anger in the house and smashed the only teacup she had.

"Xiao Jinyan, how dare you do this to me? I am a princess, how dare you? My father will not let you go."

At this moment, the door creaked open.

Concubine Xue raised her head and saw Shui Yao, her eyes full of anger: "How dare you come here, you lowly slave?"

"You two have a deep bond as master and servant. The master specially asked Shui Yao to serve you. You don't need to thank him. You two can just reminisce about the past."

Qin Xiao said this and left with his men.

Shui Yao looked at Xue Yan's angry eyes and subconsciously took a step back, "Princess, I had no choice."
