Upon hearing this, Feng Zhouyuan quickly reached out and grabbed Lan Xiuyuan: "Fifth Master! You can't act impulsively at a time like this!"
"Get out of my way!"
Lan Xiuyuan suddenly swung his arm forcefully, shoving Feng Zhouyuan away.
Lan Xiuyuan staggered around, pulled the sword from the wall, and walked out with red eyes.
Upon seeing this, Feng Zhouyuan quickly reached out to stop him.
"My lord! You should remain calm at this moment! Don't worry, as long as our Lady was wrongfully killed, we will never let the Xu family go! But if you rush in with your sword at this time, wouldn't the Emperor think that you have a problem with him? You're going to make us lose our reason!"
Lan Xiuyuan stared at Feng Zhouyuan in front of him, his face filled with grief and indignation as he growled, "My mother was tortured to death by them! Am I, as their son, just going to stand by and watch them get away with it?"
"How can they get away with it?"
Feng Zhouyuan quickly said, "How could His Majesty turn a blind eye to such a big matter? Even if you were granted the title of Prince, this matter wouldn't end so easily, even if it were just because of the Prime Minister! We are the innocent party now, so we should hold onto this relationship and make His Majesty kill the entire Xu family to avenge the Empress, Fifth Master!"
Lan Xiuyuan finally snapped out of his daze after hearing Feng Zhouyuan's words.
After thinking for a while, he threw the sword in his hand to the ground.
Lan Xiuyuan took a deep breath. Yes! He absolutely couldn't panic at this moment.
If things get chaotic, you'll fall into someone else's trap.
"Someone come here! Immediately have someone change my clothes! I need to go to the palace right now! I need to see my mother, and I need to go to the Emperor to plead my case!"
Thinking of Hu Qianyu, Lan Xiuyuan finally couldn't help but shed tears.
Feng Zhouyuan stood aside quietly watching Lan Xiuyuan, his eyes becoming deep and unfathomable.
A black coffin sits at the deep, cold palace gate.
Hu Tianyong, his face streaked with tears, clutched the coffin, his desolate figure radiating the grief of a parent outliving their child.
Lan Xiu saw it from afar and immediately knelt on the ground, bowing his head deeply.
Tears instantly streamed down her cheeks.
The only sound around her was soft sobbing. Thinking of Hu Qianyu's past glory, it all seemed even more desolate now.
Hu Tianyong was helped over, looking as if he had aged several years in an instant. He walked up to Lan Xiuyuan and gently patted his shoulder: "Fifth Prince, please accept my condolences!"
These words made Lan Xiuyuan burst into tears.
And the mournful sounds around them were even more pronounced.
Just when the place was desolate, Lan Linxue walked over with her people, her face serious.
Approaching Hu Tianyong, he bowed slightly and said, "Prime Minister, His Majesty requests that you and Lan Xiuyuan come immediately!"
Hu Tianyong quickly wiped away his tears and sighed, "I wonder if Your Highness knows why His Majesty summoned this old minister?"
Lan Linxue glanced at the coffin, her expression turning even colder as she said, "Consort Xu has pleaded her case before the Emperor. The Emperor is furious and determined to get to the bottom of Consort Hu's affair. You'd better go and see her quickly, lest she leave this world feeling wronged!"
Lan Linxue had made her point quite clear. She glanced at Lan Xiuyuan on the ground, then turned and left without saying a word.
Because Hu Qianyu was a person in the Cold Palace, her death was like that of all the criminals in the palace. She was not allowed to have a funeral or be taken home. She could only be buried hastily in a certain place.
Hu Tianyong took one last look at his daughter's coffin, sighed deeply, and then patted Lan Xiuyuan on the shoulder: "Come on! Go to the Emperor with your grandfather. We can't let your mother leave this way so unjustly! We can't let others benefit from this!"
Lan Xiuyuan immediately stood up, wiped away his tears, and followed Hu Tianyong toward the Imperial Study with a face full of grief and indignation.
In the room, Lan Shanyang sat at the head of the table with an icy expression, staring at Xu Jinlan, who was crying bitterly on the ground, without saying a word for a long time.
Just then, Lan Linxue walked in with a group of people.
