Chapter 24: Killing Everyone
Mo Huaiqing, who had no betrothal gift from the prince, was dumbfounded when she saw that Prince Lan actually offered such a large betrothal gift.
She didn't understand how Prince Lan, who was so poor, could come up with so much betrothal gifts. The news had already spread outside, and Mo Yunzhu suddenly became famous again.
Even if she wasn't the Crown Princess, Prince Lan was very fond of her.
Although everyone thinks Prince Lan is a cripple, many women think that Prince Lan is so handsome, a banished immortal-like beauty, that his other shortcomings can be ignored.
Moreover, there was no other woman around Prince Lan, so Mo Yunzhu was the only one favored by Prince Lan. Being able to be a royal daughter-in-law and not having to take care of the inner court, enjoying exclusive favors was indeed what many women dreamed of.
The jealousy that Mo Huaiqing had suppressed with great difficulty flared up again. Why was Mo Yunzhu so lucky?
Even though she couldn't become the Crown Princess, she could still become famous again. Why?
Why is God so good to her, but so unfair to Mo Huaiqing!
What went wrong at the banquet that day? Originally the adulterer was the coachman, so how did it become Prince Lan?
Mo Huaiqing still hasn't figured out the truth of this matter and wanted to ask Shaoyao, but Shaoyao was beaten to death by Mo Yunzhu on the spot, so she couldn't know the truth.
Now she could only curse Prince Lan to die quickly so that Mo Yunzhu would become a widow as soon as she married him, and that she would become the Crown Princess in the future, so that she could suppress her resentment.
For the next three days, everything was calm and peaceful. The rumor that Mo Yunzhu and Prince Lan were both framed was replaced by the rumor that Prince Lan favored Mo Yunzhu.
I think these two people are the best arrangement of God.
This rumor not only angered Mo Huaiqing, but also angered Jun Xianhe, who was selecting the Crown Princess today.
The entire imperial city was bustling early in the morning. It was finally the day when Crown Prince Jun Xianhe would select a Crown Princess in Jiutian Pavilion.
Many young ladies who usually don’t go out would pass by Suzaku Street and go to the Royal Gardens, so ordinary people who like to watch the excitement would come to watch.
Jiutian Pavilion is located on an island in the middle of a lake in the royal garden. It is an exquisite two-story ancient building with a relatively large stage in front and rockery pavilions, exotic trees and flowers surrounding it, creating a unique and beautiful scenery.
On weekdays, only the royal children would come here to play, write, and make friends.
There is a nine-curve corridor leading to the island in the middle of the lake. There are various pleasure boats on the lake around it, and you can also take a boat or a cruise.
Mo Yunzhu's injuries had naturally healed greatly. She had already made an appointment with Jun Huolan, so she asked Jasmine to dress her up beautifully early in the morning. She put on the headdress given by Jun Huolan and got into the carriage that came to pick her up from Prince Lan's Palace.
Jun Huolan was also in the carriage. Seeing Mo Yunzhu coming up in a pink palace dress and a royal hat, he immediately reached out his hand.
Mo Yunzhu held his big hand and got on the carriage.
"Your Highness." Mo Yunzhu slowly took off her hat, revealing a pretty face with light makeup.
With a set of accessories from Jin Lan Zhuyuan, she looked as dazzling as a fairy from heaven.
Mo Yunzhu wore this headdress with Jun Huolan's consent. Hao Jiang was their messenger and would send snacks to Mo Yunzhu every day.
Jun Huolan was reluctant at first, thinking about wearing it on her wedding day, but then he thought that since he couldn't entertain guests, naturally no one would see her beauty, which was indeed a pity.
Today, the Crown Prince is choosing a concubine, and all the young people in the capital will be present. The more beautiful and charming Mo Yunzhu is, the more she can stimulate the Crown Prince. This may not be a bad thing for Jun Huolan.
And when Mo Yunzhu told him what they were going to do today, he had no reason to object, because he had wanted to do this for a long, long time.
I just didn't expect that Mo Yunzhu would have the same idea, and would put it into action so soon.
He really thought that he might have gotten a treasure by taking advantage of the situation.
Could it be that God has really begun to care for him?
"Your Highness, your eyeballs will fall to the ground if you keep looking." Mo Yunzhu laughed when she saw Jun Huolan's surprised face.
A woman who dresses up to please herself is naturally happy.
The original owner was already good-looking, and with makeup and fancy dress, she was so beautiful that she could captivate all nations.
Jun Huolan suddenly started coughing, his handsome face flushed. He didn't expect Mo Yunzhu to say that, but he did think it was too rude.
"You, you look very beautiful today." Jun Huolan said a little embarrassedly, not knowing where to look.
"I know, Your Majesty, you are also very handsome. We are a perfect match. Today we are going to kill everyone and make them jealous."
Mo Yunzhu looked at Jun Huolan today and saw that he had obviously dressed up according to the arrangements she had mentioned before.
The crescent-shaped robe she was wearing was embroidered with cloud patterns in gold thread, as if clouds were floating in her clothes.
The lower body is embroidered with dark lotus patterns, which looks pure and elegant, and is surrounded by exquisite lotus patterns, giving a sense of tranquility and Zen at first glance.
Around his waist was a belt inlaid with white jade, with a tassel hanging below, which looked graceful and agile. Combined with his enchanting face, he really looked like a banished immortal who had come down to earth and was not interested in worldly affairs.
Jun Huolan felt a little embarrassed when he heard her praise, but he couldn't help but smile.
"It's a pity that I am a sickly and disabled person." Jun Huolan coughed.
"How have you been feeling these days? Can you take the medicinal bath on time?" Mo Yunzhu naturally took his hand and began to feel his pulse.
"Much better, much more comfortable than before, just like a dream. Your medical skills are really superb." Jun Huolan's starry eyes sparkled as he watched Mo Yunzhu carefully taking his pulse.
"Of course, hehe. Now I have the Blue Snow Flower, although it is a little less, but I can mix it with other medicines, and the scorpion grass poison in your body should be cured quickly."
Mo Yunzhu has been studying various poisons and medicines for the past three days.
"Snow blue flower? Isn't that very expensive?" Jun Huolan was immediately surprised, "Where did you get it from?"
"I bought it at Wanyao Pavilion. There was only a little left, so I bought it." Mo Yunzhu smiled, "It's not expensive. It's much cheaper than your headgear."
Jun Huolan was stunned, and immediately said: "The headgear is just a betrothal gift, it can't be calculated like this. Besides, you have already brought a lot of medicinal materials, they are not cheap."
"My Lord, do you really have to settle things with me?" Mo Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I, I'm just not used to someone being nice to me for no reason." Jun Huolan's words made Mo Yunzhu feel distressed again.
"But I am going to be your princess. Are you not satisfied with me as your princess?"
"Of course not." Jun Huolan said immediately. It was just that the suffering he endured in Chen State made him realize that some benefits should not be taken, and taking them would result in irreparable costs.
"That's all right. We are one family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. I treat you well because I hope you will treat me well in the future. I have a feeling that even if we can't be husband and wife, we will become best friends. Shouldn't friends help each other and stick together?"
Mo Yunzhu opened her beautiful eyes wide, which were full of sincerity, and smiled at his handsome face.
Jun Huolan saw her clean eyes and said after a while: "You have been framed by the person closest to you, how can you still think like this?"
What he meant was that Mo Yunzhu was conspired against by her sister and the maid, yet she was still so naive.
