C9 (2/2)
”You actually still want to argue!?” ”Bring the plum blossoms!”
Mei Xiang was picked up and thrown onto the ground as soon as Mu Qing Chen finished speaking. She crawled on the ground as she cried, ”Empress, why didn't you leave? Why didn't you leave with the crown prince according to plan? ”
”Meixiang, what nonsense are you spouting?”
”You're still pretending even at this time?” Mu Qingchen sneered, ”Bai Ruolan, the crown prince was disguised as a human. Can you tell me why your brother's corpse disappeared without a trace?”
”Flee without leaving a trace? ”How could that be?” Bai Ruochen's face was filled with fear. That person wasn't Mu Qingye just now. It was obvious that what he said to her was false. But now, Mu Qingchen was sure that her big brother's corpse had disappeared. What exactly was going on?
”Tell me what's going on!”
Mei Xiang crawled on the ground. ”Empress, you are really muddle-headed. Why did you come back? Why didn't you leave with the Crown Prince and the eldest young master? The eldest young master has always faked his death, waiting for the crown prince to come rescue him.
”Feigned death?” Bai Ruo Lan shook her head, ”That's not it. That person isn't Mu Qingye, he really isn't!”
Seeing that Mu Qingchen was about to deny it, a loud sound came from the side. She turned her head and saw Mei Xiang lying on the ground, blood slowly flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
”What a loyal dog slave, he actually committed suicide!” Mu Qing Chen looked at Mei Xiang, who had stopped breathing, with a sinister look in his eyes.
”Bai Ruolan, what else do you have to say for yourself? Do you really think that your Bai Clan colluding with Mu Qingye is a lie? ”
Bai Ruo Lan could not say a word, how could it be like this?
His big brother's body was nowhere to be seen, and Mei Xiang had committed suicide. Could it be that the Bai Clan had colluded with Mu Qingye?
Was this a conspiracy, a heinous crime of extermination?
As the cold source approached, Mu Qingchen reached out a hand to seal her collar. ”I will give you one last chance to tell me Mu Qingye's whereabouts. If you don't mind, I'll let bygones be bygones, or else …”
”Your Majesty, this lowly servant really doesn't know …”
”Good!” Good! ”Alright!” Mu Qingchen spat out three words in succession before throwing Bai Ruochen aside and turning around to leave. When he reached the entrance, he heard a cold voice, ”Empress Bai Ruolan, you have done nothing wrong. From today onwards, you shall abolish the title of Empress and submit it to the Punishment Division for punishment!”
