Yan Ronghua walked slowly into the Marquis' Mansion with blood all over her face. Everyone she met along the way was frightened by her appearance.
Pan Lan came out after receiving the letter. As soon as she saw her, she frowned and said with disgust: "What's wrong? What's wrong with your face? Didn't you find a backer? Why did you come back? Didn't His Highness Fu Yan come back to support you?"
He chuckled twice: "I'm still waiting for His Highness's Dragon Guard to come find me! I'm very scared!"
But she was not like before, she was so scared that her face turned pale and she kept backing away. Instead, she pushed him away and went straight into the house.
Pan Lan was a little surprised and looked at her: "Are you hysterical?"
Yan Ronghua walked straight to the dressing table. Pan Lan followed him without noticing anything was wrong. "What do you want to do? I'm telling you, don't even think about touching the money in my mansion..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Ronghua suddenly took out a dagger from under his makeup box, turned around, and stabbed it into Pan Lan's chest.
His look of astonishment amused her.
Yan Ronghua suddenly burst into laughter, and he didn't know where he got the strength from, but he pounced on him, raised his knife and slashed again.
Pan Lan's voice was so shocked that it changed into a different tone. She struggled desperately: "Someone! Someone! Help me!!"
...
...
When the servants of the Marquis' Mansion rushed in, they saw Yan Ronghua sitting on Pan Lan, chopping Pan Lan's body into a ball of rotten meat with the dagger again and again.
When Yan Shiyue and the Fourth Prince received the message and rode out of the palace, they saw several servants from the Marquis's Mansion pulling her. Yan Ronghua's face and body were covered in blood, but she was laughing like a madman.
Yan Shiyue frowned.
Yan Ronghua saw her, but suddenly rushed forward and said, "Your Highness!"
She stared at her with her eyes straight, "Your Highness, I have begged you so many times, but you have never agreed once... Now, I beg you for the last time, please give me a quick death!"
Yan Shiyue looked at her quietly.
After a while she said, "Let her go."
The servants in the Marquis' Mansion looked at each other in bewilderment. Jia and the others stepped forward with swords drawn, and those men quickly let go of their hands.
Yan Ronghua let out a shrill laugh, then she raised her hand and used her sleeve to wipe the blood off her face, but her sleeve was also covered in blood and no matter how she wiped, it wouldn't get clean.
Yan Shiyue took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, leaned over immediately and handed it to her. Yan Ronghua took it and slowly wiped the blood off her face.
Then she knelt down in the direction of Prince An's Mansion, kowtowed three times, and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for you! I, the unfilial daughter, am here to find you!" She kowtowed three times to Yan Shiyue again, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
Yan Ronghua slowly moved forward, drew Jia He's sword, held the sword across his neck, and cut down with his eyes closed.
Amid the screams of the crowd, blood splattered and Yan Ronghua slowly fell to the ground.
Yan Shiyue looked at her blood, which covered the ground bit by bit, and couldn't explain the feeling in his heart.
In fact, Yan Ronghua is really smart, but...how to put it, Feng Ji's words about her are very appropriate, "She is too clever and scheming, and ends up costing her her life."
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who received the letter, rushed over in a hurry. When he saw the scene, he was dumbfounded and didn't know how to deal with it.
The fourth prince said, "I will take care of this matter. You don't have to worry about it."
The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple hurriedly bowed to him to express his gratitude.
Yan Shiyue ordered people to collect Yan Ronghua's body and bury it together with Sun.
The Fourth Prince called people from the Ministry of Justice to come and take away several servants from the Marquis' Mansion.
Then Yan Shiyue followed the Fourth Prince to the Ministry of Justice and briefly explained the matter.
Things turned out like this, and even though she knew she had done nothing wrong, she still felt uncomfortable.
In this matter, Pan Lan was killed, but the one who killed Pan Lan was also killed, which was also a life. Even if Yan Ronghua was not dead, the Marquis's mansion felt guilty and did not dare to argue with Yan Shiyue because of a bastard, so the matter could only be left unresolved in the end.
Moreover, when the Marquis's Mansion returns, he has to pack up all of Yan Ronghua's dowry and return it to Prince An's Mansion to avoid making enemies.
The Fourth Prince quickly sent the people from the Marquis' Mansion away and came to see her: "Yuer?"
Yan Shiyue didn't move.
The fourth prince sat down beside her and said, "When a person is about to die, his words are kind. This mother and daughter are cold-hearted by nature. They killed someone else's daughter just to win favor, and now they are killing each other. They are all to blame for their own mistakes. No one is innocent or wronged. If you feel sad for her because of her last thank you, you are really stupid."
Yan Shiyue shook her head: "I'm not sad, I just..." She swallowed.
The fourth prince looked at her and said, "I understand. It's uncomfortable to see someone die in front of you, right? After all, it's a life. It's normal to feel uncomfortable. If you turn a blind eye, you're not yourself anymore."
She didn't answer.
The fourth prince did not say anything else and just sat in a trance.
After a long pause, he suddenly whispered, "When I was young, there was one time in the palace when the prince got a good horse. When it was mentioned, everyone wanted to see it, so the prince took us to see it. Unexpectedly, the horse made too much noise and suddenly went crazy. The prince, Sanlang and I were all injured. Then my father punished the followers and beat everyone with a stick. I was four years old at that time. That was the first time I understood that being willful and reckless would bring trouble to those around you."
Yan Shiyue couldn't help but turn her head to look at him. The Fourth Prince looked very calm. "I cried for a long time. Then my mother came and asked me to apologize to the prince, so I went there. When I went there, I saw the Queen Mother, who was not the Queen Mother at that time... She hugged the prince and taught him carefully. She said that the emperor punished the people because you care about their lives. If someone doesn't care about their lives, then such a person should not be associated with, because if you can't even take human life seriously, then nothing can be taken seriously."
He paused and said, "From then on, I remembered that I would never treat Sanlang as a brother again."
Yan Shiyue looked at him in surprise.
The fourth prince seemed to be six or seven years younger than the crown prince? So when he was four, the crown prince was already eleven years old.
But he, who was only four years old, had done nothing wrong, but was forced by Concubine Xian to apologize, while the eleven-year-old prince could be held in the arms of the Queen, taught, and comforted. He must have been very envious!
Yan Shiyue asked him: "Is the Concubine Xian not good to you?"
The fourth prince was stunned, looked at her, and nodded her head helplessly: "You have to change your mind when you speak without thinking. You dare to ask such a question. Are you trying to kill me or yourself?"
He stood up and said, "Okay, let's go. If you still feel uncomfortable, go to the temple and light two lamps for them! It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, I just want you to feel at ease!"
Yan Shiyue nodded and came out.
She originally wanted to enter the palace, but after this incident, she hesitated and went to Meng Min.
The Queen doesn't care about the life or death of Sun's mother and daughter, but Meng Min can't help but care. At this time, it's better to spend more time with her.
