Chapter 260: The Empress Dowager Doesn’t Need to Be Sad for Her
The next day after the morning court session, when Xiao Hanye was about to leave the palace, Zhu Ruo leaned over to stop him and said, "Your servant greets the prince."
Xiao Hanye narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Zhuruo, please don't be polite."
He promised Zhu Ruo last night that he would personally give an explanation to the Queen Mother today. Although he did not take the matter to heart, the Queen Mother specially asked Zhu Ruo to come and stop him, which must have shown that she was unable to sleep or eat.
Sure enough, Zhu Ruo said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please move to Yikang Palace. The Queen Mother is waiting for you."
Xiao Hanye nodded, then walked towards the Yikang Palace with his body held high.
Looking at Xiao Hanye's tall and straight back like a mountain pine, Zhu Ruo's eyes flashed with helplessness, and then she quickly chased after him and whispered, "Your Highness, the Queen Mother doesn't know that Princess Zhaoren has passed away yet. Please act according to the circumstances later."
Xiao Hanye replied: "Thank you for reminding me, Auntie. I understand now."
In the Yikang Palace, the empress dowager was leaning on the couch, her face a little pale. It seemed that she didn't get enough rest because she was worried about Jiang Wanyan. When she saw Xiao Hanye coming in, a hint of expectation flashed in her red eyes.
"Han'er, quickly return Yan girl to me." Her voice was a little weak, but her tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
Xiao Hanye took a deep look at the Queen Mother, then said calmly: "It's too late to repay. Princess Zhaoren died from the severe punishment."
Zhu Ruo's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at Prince Yan guiltily, then immediately looked at the Queen Mother worriedly.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother's face, which had only been slightly pale just now, was now completely pale. She had a complicated expression, filled with shock and disbelief: "Han'er...what...did you say?"
Zhu Ruo was worried about her and tried to support her, but she pushed him away. She locked her eyes with King Yan and said, "Speak!"
Prince Yan replied calmly, "Princess Zhaoren committed treason and attempted to kill Princess Yan. She has been executed on the spot by my grandson."
He said it lightly, as casually as answering a question about what to eat, and he didn't take the matter to heart at all.
The Queen Mother's heart sank instantly. She looked gloomy and asked, "How dare you?"
Xiao Hanye asked back: "Princess Zhaoren dared to disguise herself as the Princess of Yan and intended to violate my grandson, why didn't I dare to kill her?"
"You..." The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment. After a pause, she said sternly, "Even if she is wrong, she has been raised by me since she was a child. You and I have a brother-sister relationship. How can you kill her without considering our old relationship?"
"Your Majesty, you are wrong. Princess Zhaoren has repeatedly violated my grandson's bottom line. If it weren't for your face, she would have died several times." Xiao Hanye lowered his eyes and looked at the angry and sad Queen Mother. After a pause, he continued, "She is stupid and does not know it. It is her own fault. You will suffer for your own sins. Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad for her."
"How dare you!" The Queen Mother was so angry at his words that she almost had a heart attack. She slammed the table angrily and said, "Han'er, do you still have any humanity? Yan'er is my child who I have raised for six years. She is not an object!"
Because he used too much force, the teacup on the table vibrated loudly.
Although she also raised the Prince of Yan, she did not know him well enough. He was so cruel that he did not care about her feelings at all and brutally killed her Yan'er.
Thinking of this, she picked up the still shaking teacup on the table and smashed it at him.
Looking at the teacup that was suddenly flying towards him, Xiao Hanye turned his body and dodged it easily.
Seeing that he dared to hide, the Queen Mother became even more angry. She picked up a teacup and was about to throw it at him. Zhu Ruo quickly soothed her, "Queen Mother, please calm down. The prince lost his temper because he loved his wife so much. Since Princess Zhaoren was unfortunately killed by the guards in Prince Yan's mansion, it would be useless for you to be sad. If you hurt the prince or your body, it would be more trouble than it's worth."
The Queen Mother glanced at the indifferent Prince Yan, clenched her fist, threw the teacup in her hand to the ground, and shouted angrily: "Kneel down in front of me!"
Xiao Hanye lowered his eyes and looked at the debris on the ground. He waved his hand and the ground beneath his feet was instantly spotless. Then he lifted the hem of his skirt and slowly knelt down: "Grandson, obey your command."
The Queen Mother was still furious. She pointed at Xiao Hanye with a shaking hand, her voice filled with anger and grief: "How dare you treat me like this? I have raised you for so many years in vain. I have been so devoted to you over the years, and this is how you repay me?"
Xiao Hanye looked up at the haggard Queen Mother and said, "Grandma, you are too kind. I will never forget your care and protection for me when I was young. But one thing is for sure. Princess Zhaoren has done so many audacious things. If I don't kill her, it will lead to disaster one day."
She almost caused him to never see his Ah Yue again, so she deserves to die.
It would be too easy for her to be killed with one sword, she should be skinned alive piece by piece.
The Queen Mother replied sternly: "Even if Yan'er was wrong in every way, you should teach her a lesson. That's not a reason for you to kill her. You killed her openly. Did you ever consider me? Han'er, you have really changed. It's all because of Chu Nanyue. Now you don't even care about me."
On the one hand, she was sad about Jiang Wanyan's death, and on the other hand, she was heartbroken by the disobedience of the child she raised.
She could never get over the fact that her Han'er killed her Yan'er.
Xiao Hanye's eyes turned cold, and he stood up without thinking: "What does this have to do with Ah Yue? Princess Zhaoren has brought this upon herself." Seeing that the Queen Mother was about to get furious again, he spoke first, "The Empress Dowager already knows everything that happened, and I am not at fault. But since she insists on blaming me, I have nothing to say. In order to avoid hurting her feelings, I will take my leave first!"
After he finished speaking, he bowed, turned around and left without looking back.
Looking at his tall back, the Queen Mother's eyes were full of fire, and she said angrily, "How dare you! Bastard!"
Hearing the angry scolding behind him, Xiao Hanye didn't care and quickened his pace to leave.
The Queen Mother was humiliated in public by him, but she was helpless and could only vent her anger by using all the porcelain in the room. One after another, the priceless porcelain flew out of the door.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Looking at the sharp weapon coming towards him, Jiang Shou subconsciously tried to block it. Fortunately, he was stopped by Su Hu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, otherwise he would have been hit on the head on the spot.
He was so scared that his heart started beating so fast that even the sound it made was trembling a little.
"Your Majesty is here!"
"Your son greets you, mother, but has the fourth son angered you?" The emperor saw debris all over the room as he entered. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Just on the way here, he bumped into Old Four. Just when he was about to question him about Jiang Wanyan, Old Four didn't even have a chance to answer him.
After paying his respects to him, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
It was so fast that he began to doubt his life. Is there a tiger in the palace?
It was not until I saw the scene before my eyes that I realized that he was as ferocious as a tiger. If I didn't run faster, I would be chopped off on the spot.
He also wants to run, but is it too late?
The Queen Mother put down the glass cup in her hand, glanced at him, and said unhappily: "Since the Emperor knows, why doesn't he tie him back?"
Judging from the time the two men came in and out, they should have met each other.
The emperor's eyes lit up instantly: "It is my son's fault. I will send someone to tie up that rebellious son now."
After saying this, he was about to turn around and leave.
The Queen Mother looked at the mighty imperial guards behind him, her eyes darkened, and she stopped talking and said, "Forget it, kidnap the Princess of Yan instead."
If there was no Chu Nanyue, how could Han'er kill her Yan'er in anger?
Chu Nanyue is the culprit.
If Chu Nanyue is kidnapped, how could her Han'er not obey obediently?
Chu Nanyue, who had just stepped in, said: "!!!"
She glanced inside the hall, luckily no one noticed her, so she returned the same way and came back another day.
Unexpectedly, the sharp-eyed emperor asked, "Princess Yan?"
Chu Nanyue, who had just turned around, trembled and could only turn back mechanically.
Damn, she finally understood who Xiao Hanye’s trouble maker was?
He is exactly the same character as the old emperor!
