C271 The Use of an Emperor

Yu Longchen had entered the palace. He reckoned that Yu Longzi would do something to him today. If he didn't go, wouldn't he let down the good show that Yu Longzi had prepared for him?

Sure enough, after the court session, Yu Longzi went to find Yu Longchen and led him to his own palace.

Yu Longchen didn't hide. He was already waiting for him, but he still wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything. "I wonder why Eldest Prince brought me to the palace? Could it be that he wants to talk about brotherhood with me?"

"He brought you here to meet a few people. That little bit of brotherhood. It can indeed be used as a reason." Yu Longzi waved his hand and his guard retreated. "Seeing that you were hidden by Consort Long, I do feel sorry for you. After all, I am about to achieve my goal. "

Yu Longchen smiled and looked at him curiously.

"My heart aches for Consort Lan and Your Ladyship. She has served Royal Father for the rest of her life. After her death, she will not be able to enter Jinling. Even her birthplace has disappeared from the family tree." Yu Longzi had a Ke Ling expression on his face. This was the method he used to provoke Yu Longchen.

He thought that Yu Longchen probably didn't know where the family tree was.

Indeed, Yu Longchen didn't know. When he heard this news, he couldn't control the anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and stared at Yu Longzi, his eyes turning red.

"I forgot that you didn't know. It's my fault." Yu Longzi had an apologetic look on his face, but he was secretly delighted in his heart, "It was only yesterday. I only found out after asking my mother."

As he spoke, the guard brought him up. They were all old palace maids in their thirties.

"A few lowly servants, why haven't you told King Chu?" Yu Longzi slammed the table. He looked like he was filled with righteous indignation. He didn't know how deep their friendship was.

The old palace maids told him everything that Yu Longzi had arranged.

Finally, Yu Longchen left in a muffled voice, not saying a word. Yu Longzi stood up, walked to the door, and looked at Yu Longchen's back.

"Your majesty, these palace maids?" The guard looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Secret delivery to King Chu's Mansion. Consider it a gift from me" After saying that, Yu Longzi left.

The guard looked at the cowering palace maid and could not help but give a warning: "If you say something wrong, do you know the consequences?!"

"What this servant said is the truth." A few palace maids replied at the same time.

When Yu Longzi came to Princess Wanle's room, she did not get better and instead became more serious.

"Your Highness."

"All of you can leave."

"Yes."

Yu Longzi walked around the room twice. He looked at Princess Wanle, whose face could no longer be seen on the bed, and walked to the edge of the bed.

He combed her hair and said gently, "I am sorry to you."

It was the first time Princess Wanle felt his tenderness. She was so excited that she wanted to speak, but she could only snort a few times. Once she opened her mouth, she could not stop her saliva from flowing out.

"But you were the one who let me down first. I originally thought that marrying you back would be a helping hand. Who would have thought that you would get sick the moment you entered the door? You can't help me, but make me bear the reputation of being a mistress. " The further Yu Longzi went, the worse his tone became. In the end, there was only endless disgust left.

He was already impatient. He pulled up Princess Wanle's blanket, folded the double layer, and slowly covered Princess Wanle's face.

He slowly put his hands on it, and the strength slowly increased. Princess Wanle could not even move her hands and feet when she got sick. She could only slowly feel the horror and pain of losing her life.

Just like that, Yu Longzi pressed the blanket tightly for about fifteen minutes before he let go of the blanket and took a look at Princess Wanle's breath. After confirming that it was true, he opened the door and announced Princess Wanle's death.

In less than an hour, the news of Princess Wanle's death spread throughout the Imperial Palace.

When the Emperor heard the news in the Imperial Reading Room, he could only sigh and did not say another word. He threw down the memorial in his hand and was about to leave.

"Where is the Emperor going? This servant is very polite." Gao Mao jogged over.

"Consort Long's place." The Emperor's footsteps were heavy, and his head started to hurt. He frowned. These days, he felt more and more uncomfortable, and his heart became restless.

When they arrived outside the hall, the Emperor ordered the messenger to bring Gao Mao into the hall.

When they arrived at the main hall, before they entered, they heard Consort Long's angry voice. The Emperor turned his body to the side.

Consort Long looked at the female official kneeling down to report and questioned, "You said that she was dead? These few palace maids, even if they are dead, there should be a corpse, right? En? "

" Your Ladyship calm her anger. The great hall did not care about this servant's obstruction and forcefully requested people to enter their own hall. Just now, the personal guards of the main hall came to inform this servant that those palace maids had offended the First Highness. They have already been executed." The female official's attitude was respectful and full of confidence.

Consort Long had the power to cooperate with the six palaces. In comparison, she handled matters cleanly and knew how to weigh things more than the Empress. She had more power.

"The guard also said that the corpse was thrown into the mass graves under the orders of the palace. If you want to investigate, let this servant go to the mass graves to investigate." When the female official said this, she felt wronged.

Although those palace maids were elders in the palace, they were lowly palace maids. Who would have thought that Consort Long would be so angry.

"Just a few palace maids. If they die, then so be it. Why are you so angry?" The Emperor strode in.

"Chenqie greets the Emperor." Consort Long was slightly surprised and changed her sharp expression to welcome him, "What the Emperor says is right."

The female official moved to the side and the Emperor looked at the female official and seemed to be puzzled, "Which palace maids are they?"

The female official received Consort Long's gaze and reported their names and positions one by one.

"They are indeed not important palace maids." Consort Long sent the female official away and softly replied.

"Since that is the case, why is there a need to make a big fuss? I just heard you say that it was Xie'er who wanted someone to go?" The Emperor had some dissatisfaction. Could it be that you are going to use a few palace maids to make an article? He could not help but feel dissatisfied.

"Yes" Consort Long stood in front of the Emperor with an expression of admitting her mistake before raising her head, "It's just that those palace maids..."

The Emperor saw that she wanted to say something but stopped herself and felt more and more restless. His voice became slightly heavier, "What is it?"

Consort Long knelt down and lowered her head with a trace of fear, "It has something to do with what happened back then. Three of them were taken care of by Lan... Condemned Concubine..."

Consort Long only mentioned the word Lan and the Emperor understood her meaning. He put his hands on his knees and moved but his mind moved. He was thinking about what role Consort Long played in this matter.

Consort Long kowtowed, "Chenqie was reckless. It was not a big deal and disturbed the Emperor. Chenqie's crime should be ten thousand deaths."

The Emperor remembered that hearing it just now was also by accident. No one came to report it, so how did Consort Long know that he came? And even arranged such a scene, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes grew, "Why did Zi-er want these palace maids to go, did you investigate?"

"Chenqie also just heard from the female official that there was such a thing. The Great Hall might have seen through their talent in some aspect." Consort Long naturally had to put in a good word for Yu Longzi. No matter what, he couldn't let the Emperor suspect him more than Yu Longzi.

"Hmph! Only then can I? The ability to wash clothes?" The Emperor was angry for no reason. His anger did not seem to be directed at Consort Long.

" Forgive me, Emperor! It is Chenqie's fault." Consort Long admitting her mistake was very natural.

The Emperor looked at Consort Long and did not know what he was thinking about. He got up and walked away.

Consort Long looked back but did not dare to stay. As long as she buried her dissatisfaction and slowly watered it to let it take root and germinate in the Emperor's heart, that was all.

"Go and investigate where the palace maids were sent to or really killed them." Consort Long was supported by Chunrong to stand up.

Chunrong received the order. She blessed herself and retreated.
