Su Mutianjun originally wanted to exchange greetings with "Wu Chen" and put on a show of "loving father and filial son" in front of Hua Qingcheng, but the rebellious son refused to cooperate at all.
"Third brother's wife, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Seeing that "Wu Chen" was as indifferent to himself and Shangguan Yuechan as ever, Su Mutianjun immediately turned his gaze to Hua Qingcheng who was standing next to "Wu Chen".
"Every family has its own problems. It's not my place to express any opinions on the Emperor's family affairs." Hua Qingcheng gave Su Mutianjun a meaningful look, then took Wuchen's hand and said, "But now that Lichen has married into my Nalan family, I, Nalan Qingcheng, will naturally treat him like a treasure and won't let him live a lonely life without anyone to care for him. Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine can rest assured about this."
Hua Qingcheng's words were indifferent, revealing a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance. The smile that was originally on Su Mutianjun's face froze slightly.
Shangguan Yuechan had not expected that the princess of Laifeng Kingdom would speak so directly, as if she was too lazy to even put on a show. She was very different from those concubines who were good at dancing with their sleeves and liked to beat around the bush. This caught her, who had been immersed in the harem for more than 20 years, off guard.
At the same time, in the side room next to Shangguan Yuechan's bedroom, the Imperial Master Ran Qiyue was sitting silently in front of an incense table.
Seeing this, Empress Qin Shuyao anxiously asked, "What's the matter? Are you sure this person is the Princess of Laifeng? When can I dig out her heart blood and extract her soul to refine it into a soul pill to save my son?"
Ran Qiyue's narrow, almond-shaped eyes were wicked and cold, but he glanced at Qin Shuyao calmly, then said slowly, "Your Majesty, please be patient. Since everyone is here, please wait patiently, because... it's only a matter of time."
"Haha, patience, patience...patience again! I've been hearing this for months!" Qin Shuyao's face was filled with anger, especially when she thought of her foolish son in the East Palace. She was even more furious with Ran Qiyue. "Ran Zamao, I'm telling you, this matter can only succeed and not fail! Otherwise, even if the emperor doesn't kill you, I will make sure you die without a burial place!"
"Oh?" Ran Qiyue's lips curled slightly, her eyes suddenly cold. Then she grabbed Qin Shuyao's hand, forced her back to the corner, and held her in her arms. She said with a half-smile, "I just don't know how the Queen intends to kill me? The kind of ecstasy on the bed?"
After saying that, Ran Qiyue suddenly leaned over and kissed Qin Shuyao hard on the neck. The extremely noble Queen's fair neck immediately showed a red mark.
"You..." Ran Qiyue's sudden action startled Qin Shuyao. She subconsciously pulled her collar tighter, as if she was afraid that Su Mutianjun would rush in and see their ambiguous appearance in the next moment.
"You filthy bastard, don't think I don't know about the mess between you and Shangguan Yuechan! I'm afraid Su Mulijing is the bastard offspring of you two, right?!"
Qin Shuyao pounded Ran Qiyue's chest, her beautiful eyes glaring at him. "Although Li Han is not your biological son, he was born after ten months of hardship and pregnancy. He is the crown prince of Zhaoyang Kingdom. Even if the prince becomes stupid, I will still have a grandson to inherit the throne soon. Don't even think about supporting the son of that bitch Shangguan Yuechan to take the throne. I can tell you clearly, don't even think about it!"
Facing Qin Shuyao's threat, Ran Qiyue did not take it to heart, because instead of digging out the heart blood of the chosen girl and taking her soul to make soul pills to save a useless prince, it would be better to find a way to force out the woman's soul, and then take over her body and replace her... Of course, he would never tell Qin Shuyao these.
Ran Qiyue gently lifted Qin Shuyao's chin and then kissed her, fiercely plundering the breath from this woman's mouth. In his opinion, although Qin Shuyao was a little old, she could at least absorb Yin and replenish Yang, bringing benefits to his cultivation. Compared to cultivation, what's wrong with eating both meat and vegetables?
So, Ran Qiyue's hands soon became restless, until he took off Qin Shuyao's dress, pressed her on the chair, and violently released himself and took away the woman's vitality.
A quarter of an hour later...
"Are you crazy?!" Qin Shuyao panted as she struggled to break free from Ran Qiyue. While adjusting her dress, she said angrily, "The Emperor is next door! He knows what you're doing here, and you actually took the opportunity to do this to me. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"
Ran Qiyue put on her pants, straightened her dark blue Taoist robe, and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Empress. The Emperor has no time for an old woman like you when it comes to the country. Even if the Emperor wants a woman, there are plenty of young and beautiful women in the harem for him to choose from. Believe it or not, if I tell the Emperor that using your life as a sacrifice will grant him immortality, do you think that tyrant will chop off your head first instead of mine?"
As Ran Qiyue finished speaking, Qin Shuyao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Because from her understanding of Su Mutianjun, if someone told him that digging up the graves and whipping the corpses could lead to immortality, let alone his wife and children, he would probably do it without hesitation...
Elsewhere, in Shangguan Yuechan's bedroom, Su Mutianjun was chatting awkwardly with Hua Qingcheng. Just when Hua Qingcheng thought the show was going to continue, the chief eunuch, Qu Chengde, came in to report: "Your Majesty, all the civil and military officials of the third rank and above have gathered in Shaohua Palace. The palace banquet at noon is about to begin."
"Yes." Su Mutianjun nodded slightly, then instructed Qu Chengde: "Take the third son and his wife first. I will come back later to spend time with the emperor's son and his wife."
