C33 (1/2)
The palace maid trembled as she brought everyone to the abandoned courtyard. As the abandoned courtyard's doors were closed, they could faintly hear the heavy breathing of a man. The expressions of everyone present instantly changed; they naturally knew what this voice meant.
Everyone looked at that room with different expressions. The Prince of Ye Kingdom and Mo Ranran were having a private meeting in the abandoned courtyard. If word of this got out, Mo Ranran's entire life would be ruined.
Hearing the movements inside, the crown prince's face turned even more unsightly. It had only been a short while since he and Mo Ranran had last met, and she had already hooked up with Ye Qingxuan? The crown prince felt like he had been played by others.
The more he thought about it, the angrier the crown prince became. He wanted to open the door, but was blocked by Mo Feiye.
”Mo Feiye, what do you mean by that?” The Crown Prince's face was gloomy, he looked at Mo Feiye who was blocking his way, and said with an unfriendly tone.
”All of you retreat, Ling Wu, come here.” Mo Feiye swept across everyone coldly and stopped on Ling Wu's body.
Originally, Ling Wu was squeezed behind her, but the person blocking her path opened up a path, and with reddened eyes, Ling Wu walked in front of Mo Feiye.
”Open the door.” Clenching his fists tightly, Mo Feiye did not dare to turn around, he was afraid that he would not be able to control his own killing intent and would kill Ye Qingxuan.
Ling Wu shook her head, she did not want her young miss to be seen in front of so many people.
”What are you all doing here? Is there anything fun in it? ” At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind the group.
Everyone turned their heads, and Mo Ranran just happened to be standing behind them, holding a fresh lotus seed in his hand.
Throwing the freshly peeled lotus seed into his mouth, Mo Ranran blinked his eyes innocently: ”Why are you all looking at me like that?”
”Miss!” Hearing his young miss's voice, Ling Wu was so happy that he almost cried.
It's good to see that her young lady is all right.
Everyone was still in shock, when Mo Feiye held Mo Ranran tightly in his embrace, afraid that he would disappear.
”Where did he go?” The deep voice trembled slightly. No one knew how scared he was when he heard the sounds coming from inside the house.
I accidentally wet her clothes and coincidentally met Palace Woman Xu, so I went to her quarters to change into clean clothes. After delaying for a while, the eunuch who guarded the main hall gate said that the two of you were here, so I came over. ”Su Yun said. Mo Ranran allowed Mo Feiye to hug him, as his eyes swept across everyone present, and a dim light flashed past his eyes.
The Queen looked at Mo Ranran who was safe and sound, her eyes filled with coldness.
The crown prince looked at Mo Ranran who was being carried by Mo Feiye, his expression flickering, thinking about something unknown.
With Mo Ranran here, who was this person in the house?
When the Ye Kingdom envoy opened the door and saw Ye Qingxuan who was in a daze due to the medicine inside the house, his face turned green.
In the palace closest to the academy, the imperial physician was taking Ye Qingxuan's pulse while everyone else was in the outer room.
”Speak!” Who sent you! ” The emperor looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground and said coldly.
”Your majesty, I really did see the crown prince of Ye Kingdom and Miss Mo go to the abandoned courtyard.” The palace maid kowtowed nonstop, breaking her forehead.
”But I've always been picking lotus roots, so I've never been to the abandoned courtyard.” Mo Ranran got up and slowly walked towards the palace maid before squatting down. His pitch-black eyes flashed with a dark light, and his voice was as cold as ice. ”Speak, who sent you to frame me?”
”What did Miss Mo say? This servant doesn't understand. ” The palace maid looked at Mo Ranran with a terrified expression, her face filled with innocence.
”Don't you understand? ”It's fine, you'll understand in a while.” The corner of Mo Ranran's mouth raised into a dangerous smile as he reached out to pinch the palace maid's chin. In his other hand, he held onto a silver needle.
”Look at her little face. She's crying so much that it makes one's heart ache.” The silver needle lightly slid across the palace maid's face. The sharp feeling scared the palace maid so much that she didn't dare to move at all, as she was afraid that if she moved, her face would break.
”As for me, I have a bad temper. When you have a bad temper, it's easy to shake your hand. If you shake it, your face might be ruined. ”
Mo Ranran paused for a moment, and continued to speak: ”I ask you again, why did you frame me?” The faint voice sent a chill down everyone's spine.
”Your servant did not frame you. What I said was the truth.” The palace maid knew she wouldn't be able to escape this calamity, so she only raised her head to look at the empress before biting off the poison in her mouth.
By the time everyone realized that something was wrong, the poison had already flared up.
”Lord Mu Kingdom, is this the explanation you gave us for your Ye Kingdom?” The palace maid was the only clue. Now that the palace maid was dead, this clue was also cut off.
How could they not be angry!
”I've neglected to do this today. Envoy, please give me a few more days. I'll definitely find out who was behind this.” The Emperor slowly spoke. They were indeed in the wrong for what happened today.
”Did you think of it just because you said you were careless? Back then, when Princess Ye Rou died, you also said that you would give us an explanation, but what happened in the end? ”In the end, it was still useless.” The Ye Kingdom envoy did not believe his words at all.
In the face of the Ye Kingdom envoy's questioning, an unfathomable emotion flashed past the emperor's eyes.
”If Your Majesty still remembers your relationship with Princess Ye Rou, then please let our country's crown prince go. The Mu Ye Country and the Kingdom of Mu are still friends.” If they were not here today, they would not have known that people from the Mu Kingdom would bully their crown prince.
”If we don't hand it over, do we still plan to start fighting with Ye Kingdom?” The Emperor was gloomy. No matter who was threatened, they would still be angered, especially when he was the Emperor.
”If Your Majesty is willing to allow us to take away the crown prince, our country is willing to double our yearly tribute. If you are unwilling, it is not impossible for the two countries to wage war.” The Ye Kingdom envoy revealed his conditions.
The Emperor only had the crown prince as his son. For the sake of the future of Ye Kingdom, even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would bring the crown prince back.
