Chapter 149 We should have killed this bastard sooner!
"Mother, you're blatantly accusing me of murdering the Prime Minister's wife, but what evidence do you have? If you have any evidence, you can submit it directly to the Censorate, and then let Father Emperor decide the matter personally." Yu Chi Ling's eyes darkened, and his voice suddenly turned cold. "If you slander me without any evidence, then you are not worthy of being a mother! I will definitely petition Father Emperor to investigate our relationship!"
"You!" Consort Lan's face paled instantly, her sharp fingertips trembling as she pointed at him. "You rebellious wretch! I risked my life to give birth to you after ten months of pregnancy, and you dare to break my heart with the bond between mother and child!"
"Do we have any mother-son relationship?" Yu Chi Ling sneered. "You can't even show the most basic care a mother can give, how dare you talk about mother-son relationship?"
"You...you...you..." Consort Lan was so rebuked that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
Ye Shishu got up and asked her with concern, "Mother, are you alright? This prison isn't for just anyone. If anything happens to your pampered body, we can't bear the responsibility!"
If it weren't for the iron bars separating them, Consort Lan would have loved to slap her across the face!
"Ye Shi, you have no right to speak here, get out of here!"
"Mother, they were just concerned about you, why are you so fierce? Even if you are an elder, you still have to be reasonable!" Ye Shishu pouted aggrievedly, looking like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.
"You, you all..." Consort Lan wanted to curse again.
“Your Majesty, this place is filthy and unsuitable for you to stay any longer. Let me help you back to the palace.” Chen Mama, who had come with her, supported her and deliberately interrupted her.
"Hmph!" Consort Lan glared fiercely at Yuchi Ling. "If you continue to be so willful, arrogant, and disrespectful to your parents, then you can continue to reflect on your mistakes in the imperial prison!"
After saying that, she left the prison in a fit of rage without looking back.
Ye Shishu couldn't help but call out, "Respectfully seeing off Mother! May Mother have a safe journey!"
She naturally couldn't see Consort Lan's ashen expression. Smiling, she returned to Yuchi Ling's side, picked up her bowl and chopsticks again, first put a piece of meat on Yuchi Ling's plate, then fed herself a piece, and said with a smile as she ate, "It's such a pity that I couldn't go to the Prime Minister's residence to attend the funeral."
Yu Chi Ling glared at her. "Not every spectacle is worth joining in! If the body of Nangong is not burned within twelve hours of her death, anyone who touches it will die!"
"..." Ye Shi opened her mouth wide, and before she could swallow the meat in her mouth, she suddenly felt an urge to vomit.
"I can tolerate Consort Lan's evil deeds because my background has not yet been fully investigated. But if anyone dares to plot against Hua Xiang Pavilion, I will not only make her die a horrible death, but I will also make sure she has no place to be buried. Even if I cannot exterminate her entire clan, I will make sure that those around her do not have a good end!"
These words were less an explanation from Yu Chi Ling to her and more a declaration of his will.
Ye Shishu didn't think that Nangong died a cruel death. On the contrary, she resented Nangong when Nangong acted as a matchmaker for the Gu family and tried to interfere in her brother's marriage.
Later, the Gu family tried to use items from Beilin Kingdom to frame their general's mansion for treason, all of which were related to the Prime Minister's mansion, the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess, and Consort Lan.
Even if all these people died before her eyes, she wouldn't blink. After all, she had died once and knew that there was absolutely no room for mercy towards such people, especially since they were far more ruthless than the Wei family. If she showed mercy, it wouldn't just be her who died; everyone in the Prince Cheng's Mansion and the General's Mansion would be doomed!
She was just a little confused; his methods of dealing with the Nangong family seemed to have caused the Nangong family to step on his sore spot.
Even though they were both disciples of Huaxiang Pavilion, I've never seen her second sister-in-law harbor such murderous hatred as him!
"Your Highness, is Huaxiang Pavilion very important to you?" She couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind.
Seeing the probing look in her eyes, Yu Chi Ling raised his hand to gently stroke her lowered gaze, and slightly curved his lips, "You are where my soul returns, and it is where my body dies."
Ye Shishu couldn't help but pull a long face, "What discouraging things are you saying? Bah, bah, bah!"
Watching her spit out the meat in her mouth, Yu Chi Ling chuckled.
Ye Shishu didn't ask any more questions, but she had already made up her mind.
He's even more capable than his second sister-in-law!
He might be more than just a disciple of Huaxiang Pavilion...
……
Lanxia Palace.
Consort Lan was furious.
Seeing that she was almost out of her mind, Granny Chen couldn't help but advise her, "Your Highness, it's not that I'm being nosy, but your attitude towards Prince Cheng lately has been too excessive, which is very easy to arouse suspicion! You heard what Prince Cheng said today, which shows that he already has doubts about your mother-son relationship! What should we do if this continues?"
Consort Lan remained still.
But after a moment, she said indignantly, "So what if he has doubts? I am his birth mother. No matter how much he doubts, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me!"
Granny Chen sighed, "Your Highness, please forgive my bluntness, but before His Highness the Crown Prince assumes power, we should be patient. Once he's firmly in power, dealing with Prince Cheng and his Ye family will be much easier!"
After listening to her repeated words of persuasion, Consort Lan did indeed calm down considerably.
But she was not convinced. After all, she had always been strict with Prince Cheng, and no one had ever doubted her for so many years. There was no reason for her to be questioned now.
Besides, who would question their birth mother? That would be utterly rebellious and invite the world's condemnation.
If Prince Cheng dared to question their mother-son relationship in front of outsiders, she would be more than happy to do so! In that case, she could not only accuse Prince Cheng of being unfilial, but she might also be able to incite the court officials to impeach Prince Cheng and force him to relinquish his military power!
"Your Highness, please listen to me this once. Don't go to see Prince Cheng again. We just need to work behind the scenes for the Crown Prince," Granny Chen continued to persuade earnestly.
"I will be careful," Consort Lan replied calmly.
Suddenly, a palace maid ran in.
After hearing the palace maid's report, Consort Lan and Granny Chen were both shocked.
"Did the Crown Princess really say that?"
"Your Majesty, it was indeed the Crown Princess who said it herself," the palace maid replied.
Consort Lan's face was frighteningly pale.
Not only did the Nangong clan die a tragic death, but they were also burned alive overnight!
Most importantly, he couldn't be buried in the Zhu family's ancestral cemetery after his death!
Huaxiang Pavilion...
Is it really that amazing?
This time it was the Nangong family. If Prince Cheng wants to become emperor, will he also use this method to deal with the crown prince?
How did this bastard become so capable!
If she had known this bastard would be so difficult to deal with, she should have killed it sooner!
