Chapter 414: The Open and Secret Fights in the Great Wu Palace
Chapter 414: The Open and Secret Fights in the Great Wu Palace
Dawu Palace,
Fengyi Palace,
Wu Nanxing, the former queen of the Great Wu, stood in front of the window and watched coldly as the palace maids and eunuchs outside cleaned the blood on the ground. Buckets of water were poured on it, and brushes were needed to scrub it away bit by bit to clean the blood off.
The news of the fall of the Dai Viet Imperial City came too suddenly. King Xuan had no time to hold his coronation ceremony and hurriedly led his troops to Dai Viet.
Before leaving, he could only instruct the Prime Minister to stabilize Da Wu. As for the harem, there was no time to clean it up. He had to leave it like this for now. All the princes of the late emperor were sent away with poisoned wine, and there was no time to deal with the concubines, so they were locked up in a remote palace first.
Now this imperial city is managed by herself, the former queen.
The queen looked at her own hands in a daze. It was these hands that personally delivered the poisoned wine to the emperor and sent him to death. She still remembered the emperor's look of disbelief.
The queen sneered. She thought it was ridiculous. The emperor was planning to kill her, so why couldn't she take action first and kill the emperor?
Look, how good it is now. The emperor is dead, but I am still the master of Fengyi Palace, and no one says anything.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has woken up and is crying out for... for..."
The maid didn't dare to say the following words.
The queen glanced at the palace maid irritably. It was troublesome not to have a confidant. "Tell me, what did that bitch Liu Yanran want?"
The palace maids were even more terrified when they heard this. This was the man who killed the emperor with his own hands. If the emperor dared to kill him, let alone them, the palace maids.
The maid closed her eyes and said, "The Imperial Concubine is shouting that she wants to avenge His Majesty, and she is also going to sue the royal family to make the Empress die."
"Hehehe..."
The queen still sneered: "Liu Yanran is still Liu Yanran. She can't do anything except complaining with tears. If Gu Yundao hadn't doted on her, she would have been killed long ago. Those who dared to oppose her in the royal family have been killed by King Xuan. Now they dare not intervene even if they want to."
After saying that, he glanced at the palace maid and said, "Let's go and see the most favored imperial concubine in the harem."
"Yes!"
The maid didn't dare to refute and had to follow the queen.
There is a dark room in the side hall of Fengyi Palace, which was used to imprison palace maids and eunuchs who had made mistakes. However, today, the former imperial concubine was tied to the wall of the dark room.
The gorgeous clothes were all covered with bloodstains, and the face was scratched all over. The once charming face was no longer presentable.
Seeing the Queen coming in, Liu Yanran spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva at the Queen: "Wu Nanxing, you will be punished sooner or later. You actually killed your own husband with your own hands. Just wait!"
The queen smiled slightly, picked up the whip beside her and whipped Liu Yanran hard, making her scream and tremble all over.
The queen admired it with satisfaction for a while before she said, "My husband wants to kill me, why can't I kill him?"
"Pooh!"
Liu Yanran drooled again: "As the queen, you have been having an affair with a prince both before and after marriage. His Majesty has tolerated you for several years for your father's sake, but you still don't know how to restrain yourself. If I don't kill you, will I keep you alive to be ridiculed by the world?"
"Just because His Majesty wanted to kill you, you killed His Majesty and even killed all of His Majesty's flesh and blood, Wu Nanxing, you will definitely be punished."
The queen did not react at all to the words of retribution. She just said calmly: "Kill them if you want. Anyway, those children may or may not be my flesh and blood. As for retribution, it is even more ridiculous. Look, I am still the queen now. Even if Gu Yunjin ascends the throne, I will still be the queen."
The queen turned around in front of Liu Yanran and let Liu Yanran look at the dress that belonged to her.
The golden clothes were so dazzling that Liu Yanran couldn't help but close her eyes. However, what the queen said made Liu Yanran want to laugh.
Anyway, she was going to die, so Liu Yanran laughed when she wanted to: "Hahahaha... Wu Nanxing, what are you dreaming about? You want to be the queen? The daughter of the prime minister, the daughter of the general, or even the daughter of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue are all more qualified than you to be the queen."
"You, the queen who killed the emperor with your own hands, actually want to continue to be the queen. Hahahaha... I am dying of laughter. Being the queen mother is probably your best ending. If you want to be the queen, let's see if people in the world agree or not!"
The queen's face changed. Her reputation was indeed bad for having killed the emperor. If she wanted to be the queen, there would definitely be great opposition from the court. However, Yun Jin had promised her and let her be the queen.
Looking at Liu Yanran's scratched face, the queen was still angry and picked up the whip and whipped her again.
Liu Yanran was beaten so hard that tears and snot flowed down her face. There was no trace of her beauty left. Then he threw down the whip and ordered without looking back: "Watch carefully, don't let her die."
After the queen's footsteps disappeared, a cautious figure appeared at the door of the dark room.
After seeing that figure, Liu Yanran said gloomily, "Have you seen what happened to me, a noble concubine? Just because I was favored, Wu Nanxing locked me up and tortured me. Wu Nanxing will definitely find a chance to get rid of you, a woman who grew up with King Xuan."
The figure trembled, and answered cautiously: "No, the prince promised me that he can be on an equal footing with the queen in the future."
"Hahaha·······"
Liu Yanran laughed crazily.
"Prince Xuan actually let a queen and a maid sit on an equal footing, what is he thinking!"
The figure was not very brave, and he was even more scared when he saw Liu Yanran smiling like that. He shrank his head and ran away.
The queen returned to Fengyi Palace with an angry face. As soon as she entered Fengyi Palace, she saw a girl in red touching her set of glass hairpins. This set of hairpins was bought from Daqian all the way. Not to mention the cost, the glass was fragile, so she was very careful every time she looked at it.
Seeing that the woman in red was about to put the hairpin on her head, the queen finally couldn't help it: "Yan Xinghui, stop it!"
Hearing this, the woman turned around, but still did not put down the glass hairpin in her hand.
The woman in red had a bright face and spoke in an especially bright way: "Wu Nanxing, what's wrong with letting me try? It's just a glass hairpin. When I become the queen, I will give you a box."
The queen's eyes became sharp, and she stretched out her hand and slapped Yan Xinghui in the face: "Shut up! I am the queen, and you can't call me by my name."
