Nanzhi Yun was fast asleep, completely unaware that Yu Jingchen had already planned their future and even decided the baby’s gender. Tsk, as if it would turn out as you wished, Your Majesty… The child isn't even born yet, don’t get too excited. If everything went according to your plans, where would the fun be?
The next day, after the morning court, Yu Jingchen went to Zichen Palace. Xinglai presented him with some newly gathered information. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Looking at the items before him, Yu Jingchen’s dark, stern face exuded a terrifying aura.
“Yu Jiangyan, Luo Yuncheng…” Yu Jingchen uttered these names as if he were about to devour them whole. Xinglai stood to the side, not daring to speak.
In his opinion, these people were simply courting death. They were targeting the Empress? Truly ignorant of their own limitations…
During the last spring hunt, when the Empress’s horse was startled and ran into the woods, those arrows and traps were all linked to Yu Jiangyan. Their intention was to use Nanzhi Yun to force Nan Su to hand over that so-called token. However, unforeseen circumstances arose…
Not only that, Yu Jiangyan and Luo Yuncheng harbored immense ambitions. The Prince Yu’s mansion had fallen into decline years ago, and they now relied solely on Yu Jiangyan. But Yu Jiangyan, in pursuit of this so-called responsibility, intended to collude with the martial arts sect, Miao Yin, to solidify his position in court… Truly despicable!
“Your Majesty, after Princess Changle was punished by you yesterday, Luo Yuncheng secretly met with Yu Jiangyan. While their specific plans are unknown, it is likely they are targeting the Empress,” Xinglai continued.
“Besides Yu Jing’an, now there’s Yu Jiangyan. It seems I have been too lenient with them.” Perhaps he should not have held onto his pity and spared those people in the first place. Some people, if left alive, become a scourge. It would have been simpler to eradicate them from the start.
“Indeed, in that case, there is no need to keep them. Those who collude with martial arts sects are guilty of treason…” Yu Jingchen’s eyes gradually turned dangerous.
“Please instruct me, Your Majesty.” Xinglai knew that soon, two noble families would vanish from the capital…
After Yu Jingchen and Xinglai finished dealing with the matter, he was eager to head to Fengyin Palace. However, fate would have it that someone, intent on courting death, chose to emerge at this very moment.
It was Su Qianyan. Yu Jingchen encountered Su Qianyan on the path leading to Fengyin Palace. Su Qianyan was dressed in a red gown, dancing gracefully amidst the spring scenery.
Xinglai knew as soon as he saw her that this Consort Su… her fate was likely sealed.
As expected, as soon as Yu Jingchen arrived, Su Qianyan approached him.
“Your concubine greets His Majesty…” Her charm was overwhelming.
“Scram!” Yu Jingchen was about to step past her, but Su Qianyan, with her utter lack of awareness, deliberately stumbled towards him. Yu Jingchen sidestepped, and Su Qianyan fell to the ground.
“Do you wish to die?” Yu Jingchen’s eyes were devoid of any warmth. Upon meeting his gaze, Su Qianyan’s words were choked back in her throat, and she dared not speak.
“Your Majesty…” Su Qianyan’s tear-filled eyes looked incredibly wronged.
“I warned you before not to wear this color again. What do you take my words for?” Yu Jingchen asked her.
“Your Majesty… Your concubine knows her mistake,” Su Qianyan lowered her head.
