Chapter 432 - Progression of the Competition (1/2)

“My va.s.sal king, what on earth happened exactly, tell me what happened, say it!” The Va.s.sal King Consort of An’nan felt like her heart was about to shatter.

She only had one pair of children, a son and daughter. Her elder son was away all year round, while her daughter was always around to please her parents. However, an inexplicable self-detonation ruined her daughter several years ago.

She had asked the old va.s.sal king countless times as to what had happened, but he didn’t say anything at all.

Afterwards, her daughter was sent to the Ghost Faction for medical treatment. She had originally thought that her daughter would return this year no matter what.

Yet who knew that after waiting here and there, she would be met with seeing her child die before she did.

The anger in the Va.s.sal King Consort of An’nan’s heart flared up, and she persistently pulled on the old va.s.sal king, demanding to know what had happened.

The old va.s.sal king didn’t utter a word from beginning to end, which made his consort circle around him anxiously.

“Why aren’t you saying anything! My daughter died so tragically, yet as her mother, I don’t even have the right to know the details?”

The Va.s.sal King of An’nan looked at his consort and then let out a deep sigh. “I will send people to investigate this.”

“Is it related to that self-detonation several years ago?” The va.s.sal king consort could not restrain her anger. “You’ve been unwilling to tell me all this time why that person self-detonated! Tell me, is someone intentionally setting up my Hui’an!”

“My consort, it’s not that I can’t tell you, but it’s not beneficial to you at all if you do know.” The Va.s.sal King of An’nan knew his consort too well. She was too used to having her own way and could not tolerate even a speck of dust in her eyes.

She was still so harsh to the non-threatening small concubines and their daughters in the rear court. Don’t even mention if she were to know that the self-detonation back then was completely a trouble that Hui’an provoked with her willfulness, which had caused the other person to retaliate.

Afterall, his consort had spoiled Hui’an from a tender age. If something were to happen, she would not find fault with herself and would certainly wholly blame the other person.

With his consort’s personality, even if she knew that the crown prince was also involved behind the scenes, she would definitely not take this lying down.

He understood His Highness as a person too well. Normally, he looked to be gentle and smiling and seemingly wouldn’t get angry, but once he wanted to act against you, it would absolutely not be as simple as killing you. He would definitely dig deeper to eradicate the roots completely.

Those years ago, if not because he had promptly withdrawn from the matter quickly enough and immediately sent Hui’an out of the capital… Hui’an would probably have then…
