Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 939: The Ungrateful Son 5

The emperor felt so frustrated that he was about to vomit blood, and his face turned the color of liver.

"Hearing what the Queen Mother said, does it mean that my son will be killed in vain?" Chen agreed, looking at the Queen Mother angrily and questioning:

"If Chen promises that there is evidence to prove that the Third Prince was murdered, then you should bring out the evidence instead of just yelling at me with empty words," the Queen Mother said, looking at Chen with disdain. "They say that the evil deeds of parents will be punished on their children."

"Instead of yelling at me here, Chen Yingda should confess his sins to his son," the Queen Mother glared at Chen Yingda with disdain before looking at Madam Liao and saying, "Have the Third Prince's body taken out of the palace!"

Royal children must be raised to the age of six before they can be recorded in the royal family tree. If they are not recorded in the royal family tree, they cannot be buried in the royal mausoleum, and naturally there can be no funeral. They can only be buried in a random place.

"I'll see who dares," Chen agreed, looking at the emperor with tears in his eyes and pleading, "Your Majesty, our Ming'er is already pitiful enough, do you still want us to become a lonely ghost?"

"Also, our Ming'er was murdered. Are you going to let the murderer of our Ming'er go just like that?"

The emperor avoided Chen's gaze and loosened his arms around her. "I will have someone investigate. As long as there's evidence, I will make the murderer pay for our Ming'er's life. But the most urgent thing is to obey the Queen Mother's orders!"

"Your Majesty..." Chen Yuda cried out in despair, "How could you treat our Ming'er like this? Didn't you say that Ming'er was your most cherished son? How could you bear to let Ming'er become a wandering ghost, buried somewhere at random, with no one to worship him after his death?"

"Slap me in the face," the Queen Mother was truly furious. "Your Majesty, look at what you've done to me. As the ruler of a country, you've been treated so lightly by a woman. Look at how pathetic you are. Where is the dignity of an emperor?"

"Mother, why are you so aggressive?" The emperor quickly protected Chen Da Ying behind him. "Chen Da Ying just experienced the pain of losing a son. Mother also has a son. Can't you be more understanding of Chen Da Ying?"

"Alright, alright," the Queen Mother was so angry that she laughed. "Just protect this vixen, right? Sooner or later, you will pay the price for your stupidity."

As soon as she finished speaking, the empress dowager turned around and left angrily. After all, she came here just to go through the motions, not to fight the emperor to the death.

"I'll take my leave first." Jiang Chunxi bowed perfunctorily to the emperor and left with her people.

"I will also take my leave."

"I am leaving now, too."

Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu both bowed to the emperor and left with their respective palace maids.

"Your Majesty, I am so disappointed in you," Chen agreed, accusing the emperor. "Our Ming'er was murdered, and his child's body is still lying on the bed. But as a father, not only did you not avenge Ming'er, you even let the murderer go."

"Woo, woo!" Chen agreed and ran to sit on the bed, holding her son's body in her arms again. "My poor Ming'er! It's all because of your incompetence that I can't help you with revenge. Rather than living in the pain of not being able to avenge you, I'd rather die with you."

The emperor came over and looked at the son in Chen Da's arms with a sad expression. Tears could no longer be controlled and fell down: "Ming'er, don't worry, father will definitely avenge you."

"Empress, Concubine Hui, Concubine Shu," the emperor said with a sinister expression filled with murderous intent, "You all just wait for me. One day, I will definitely exterminate all nine of your clans and avenge my son Ming'er."

When Jiang Chunxi returned to the palace where she lived, the servants immediately came to report that the second prince refused to take his medicine.

"If he doesn't want to take the medicine, then open his mouth and force it in," Jiang Chunxi sneered, "He's just a sickly person, and look at what he can do."

"Master, don't be angry," Miao Ke quickly comforted him. "I'll go check on the Second Prince right now. If he refuses to take the medicine, I'll pry open his mouth and force the medicine down his throat."

"Well! Go ahead!" Jiang Chunxi waved her hand, and Miao Ke immediately retreated.

"Master, don't you think the Emperor and Chen Cheng are crying right now?" Miaoyin took a fan and fanned Jiang Chunxi. "I just saw the Emperor looking so frustrated at the Empress Dowager's criticism. It made me feel so happy!"

"Who says it isn't?" Jiang Chunxi said, leaning against the couch. "I just watched such a wonderful show, and I'm still in a very good mood. I wonder how anxious the emperor will be if there are no more crying babies in the palace in a few years. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel very happy."

"Oh! By the way, my mother has handed in a sign to come into the palace. She's probably almost at the palace gate now. Please go and meet her in person."

"Yes." Miaoyin handed the fan to the palace maid beside her and hurried out.

About half an hour later, the original owner's mother arrived at Fengyi Palace.

"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live a thousand years..."

"Mother, please get up quickly." Jiang Chunxi didn't wait for Jiang's mother to kneel down, she quickly stood up and helped Jiang's mother up, and the mother and daughter sat down on the couch.

"Chunxi," Jiang's mother cried as she sat down and looked at her daughter. "You must hold on! The Second Prince cannot live without your protection. If you are unable to recover, what will the Second Prince do?"

The reason why Jiang's mother came to the palace today was because she was shocked and fell ill after learning that something happened to the second prince. That's why she came to the palace to see her daughter today.

Jiang Chunxi waved her hand to let the maids go, then threw herself on her mother and cried, "Mother, my heart is so bitter! The emperor favored Chen Yucheng, so that bitch Chen Yucheng had such great ambitions and dared to act recklessly against the prince."

"They are all the emperor's sons. How could the emperor be so cruel? Fortunately, there is retribution and heaven will not forgive anyone. Chen promised to kill someone else's son, so her son can't expect to survive. Just this morning, Chen promised to kill the third prince and died of a high fever."

Mother Jiang was frightened and her face turned pale: "You attacked the Third Prince."

Jiang Chunxi raised her head from her mother's arms and shook her head: "Mother, don't you know what kind of person I am? The child is innocent. I won't take my anger out on the Third Prince for the evil that Chen promised to do."

Jiang Chunxi wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "It was Consort Hui and Consort Shu who did it. Although there's no evidence to prove they were the ones who murdered the Third Prince, I'm certain they worked together to kill him. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager protected them. So even though the Emperor knew they were the ones who did it, he couldn't do anything about it."
