Chapter 548 Are you threatening me?
An overwhelming and violent energy, like an invisible hammer, slammed into Anya's slender body!
"Ah!" Anya only had time to let out a short, shrill scream before her whole body was like a kite with a broken string. She was thrown up by the terrifying force, drawing a tragic arc and slamming heavily into the hard wall painted with gold and colors!
"Bang!" A dull sound made one's teeth ache.
Anya's body slid softly to the ground, like a puddle of mud with bones removed.
A large amount of blood suddenly spurted out of her mouth, splashing onto the smooth ground, which was shocking.
Those eyes that once held such affection were now wide open, filled with extreme fear and disbelief, but they had completely lost their spirit, without a trace of life left.
"Anya?!" The Queen Mother screamed in shock at the sudden bloody scene. She abruptly stood up from the couch, her finger trembling as she pointed at the lifeless body on the ground. She then turned sharply to Mo Liyuan, her voice shrill and inflected with horror and anger: "Mo Liyuan! Anya is your concubine! What on earth did she do wrong?! How dare you come back and do such a cruel thing to her?!"
"Concubine?" Mo Liyuan slowly withdrew his hand, carelessly stroking the cold black jade ring on his thumb. His eyes were disdainful, as if he was looking at an ant that had been accidentally stepped on. "It's just a thing that the Queen Mother forced into this position at the threat of death. I kept her because I thought she could behave herself, serve the Queen Mother, and entertain her."
He paused, his voice suddenly becoming sharp, like an ice spike piercing the bones, "It's a pity that she doesn't know whether to live or die. She should be prepared to die!"
The Queen Mother felt a surge of anger rushing to her head, her vision blackening. She clutched her chest in grief, "Forced? Who are all these painstaking efforts of mine for?! Mo Liyuan! You are my own flesh and blood, born after ten months of pregnancy! Everything I have done was for you, and yet you are so... so ungrateful!"
"For me?" Mo Liyuan looked like he had heard a huge joke, and the cold sarcasm almost overflowed from his lips.
He walked to the armchair next to him and sat down calmly, but his posture carried an oppressive feeling of control over life and death.
"Tianyi!" he called in a deep voice.
Tianyi, who had been guarding the palace gate like a shadow, immediately slipped in, bowed and clasped his fists: "Master!"
Mo Liyuan's gaze swept across the palace maids who were silent as a mouse, and finally landed on the trembling empress dowager, whose face was ashen and whose body was shaking. He said in a calm tone, "Go and fetch Yao Lao immediately."
"Yes!" Tianyi accepted the order, his figure flashed, and he quickly disappeared outside the hall.
"Mo Liyuan! You... why are you still looking for Yao Lao?!" Seeing his attitude of controlling everything, the Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her fingers were trembling as she pointed at him. "Are you trying to piss me off to death?! I... I might as well die right here in front of you!"
"Don't worry, mother!" Mo Liyuan raised his eyes slightly, the icy smile on his lips deepened, and the words he spoke were colder than the winter, "I will not let you die. If anything happens to you..."
His cold gaze slowly swept over every kneeling, trembling palace maid and eunuch in the hall, as well as the vaguely visible figures of guards outside the door. "Everyone who serves you in Jingfeng Pavilion, including those guards protecting you outside... every single one of them will be buried with you! In the afterlife, they can continue to 'serve' your mother."
"You...!" The Queen Mother was so shocked by his naked and unscrupulous threat that she took a step back. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, and her lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence. "Are you threatening me?! I am your mother, you... you rebellious son..."
Before she finished her words, Mo Liyuan's gaze had already fallen on her trusted nanny who had followed her for many years and was also terrified.
The nanny felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave when she met his emotionless eyes.
"As the Queen Mother's confidant, if you didn't try to dissuade her when she got angry, you don't have to live anymore." Mo Liyuan's voice was like a verdict.
There are also no unnecessary movements, just put your fingers together like swords and point at the air!
“No…I have something to advise you…”
Before the nanny could finish her words, a sharp gust of wind from her finger, like an invisible blade, instantly pierced through the nanny's chest!
"Ugh...!" The nanny felt a chill in her chest, followed by a tearing pain. She looked down at the blood that instantly spread across her chest in disbelief. A hoarse sound came from her throat. She looked at the empress dowager in horror, and as she used up her last bit of strength, she spit out the word "Empress... Dowager..." As soon as she spit out the two words, blood gushed out of her mouth. Her body softened and she fell to the ground, without a sound.
"If you can't persuade him, there's no point in keeping him!"
"Mammy!!" The Queen Mother watched helplessly as her confidant who had been with her for decades died instantly, and the warm blood seemed to splash on her face.
Great fear and grief instantly gripped her, and all the blood in her body seemed to rush to her head, and then instantly drained away.
The hand she stretched out was shaking violently as she pointed at Mo Liyuan. The world before her eyes began to spin and blur. The three words "bastard..." filled with endless grief and despair, just as they rushed out of her throat, they stopped abruptly.
Her eyes rolled back and her body fell limply backwards.
"Empress Dowager!" The palace maid next to her screamed in fear and rushed over to support her in a panic.
At this moment, Yao Lao hurried in carrying a medicine box.
Seeing the tragic scene in the palace and the unconscious Queen Mother, even though he was used to seeing storms, his pupils suddenly shrank and he hurried forward to salute: "Your Highness!"
Mo Liyuan slowly stood up, his tall figure casting a long, oppressive shadow in the candlelight.
He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground or the unconscious Queen Mother, and his voice returned to that cold, controlling calm:
"Master Yao, from now on, you will personally escort the Empress Dowager back to the palace for rest and recuperation. From now on, you will remain in the palace and focus on her well-being." He deliberately emphasized the words "rest and recuperation" and "well-being," the profound meaning of which was self-evident. "You must ensure that the Empress Dowager enjoys a long and healthy life and dies a natural death!" The last sentence was like an icy shackle.
After he finished speaking, Mo Liyuan did not stop. With a flick of his sleeves, he strode out of Jingfeng Pavilion, which had just experienced a silent storm, carrying an indelible smell of coldness and blood.
Inside the palace, all that was left was the mess on the floor, the pungent smell of blood, the suppressed sobs of the palace maids, the unconscious empress dowager, and two still-warm corpses.
