Chapter 1528: Shut Up
The moment Consort Cheng saw her three grandchildrens’ stiff bodies and pale faces, she immediately plopped to the ground on her butt and wailed, “You people, you people killed my grandchildren? Ah!!”
“My king, my king!” Consort Cheng scrambled to the king’s feet and clutched his robe as she wailed tragically, “My king, they are your grandchildren. You’re just going to look on unfeelingly as they die without a clear reason, without being able to vent their grievances!”
“And also my daughter-in-law. How good of a child she was, yet the crown prince’s subordinates just disposed of her like that! Ah! My heart, my heart hurts so, so much!”
The Mo king could not bear this, and he turned to look at his son, hesitating to speak.
This gaze did not do much to Mo Lian. The crown prince had long known one hundred years ago how easily influenced his dad was. This mere gaze simply couldn’t shake his resolve, but it infuriated Qiao Mu at once.
“Shut up!” Qiao Mu’s sudden shout interrupted Consort Cheng’s squalls. Qiao Mu stared at her icily and said, “How pitiable it is that Shu Quan is so intelligent but has to associate with you fools. Does Consort Cheng not know in your heart who was the one who killed her?”
“Are you not ashamed to be acting as this kind of so-called good person in front of the king at this point in time? I don’t see you cherishing this daughter-in-law normally!”
The young crown prince consort suddenly walked up, and the guards who were standing besides Shu Quan reflexively backed away.
The young crown prince consort squatted down and dug around in Shu Quan’s sleeves. She took out a letter and tossed it to Gong Chang’an, who stood rooted on the side. “Read it! Read it out loudly! Read it for everyone to hear!”
While holding the letter, Gong Chang’an hand’s trembled in fear from the young crown prince consort’s imposing manner.
The surroundings were silent, and only the scent of blood wafted past everyone’s nostrils.
“D-Dear Royal Father, your daughter-in-law was feeble in influence and was unable to advise the eldest prince to turn back in time. I watched helplessly as he walked onto a path of no return. I was terrified and was aware that I was guilty of a crime for which even death cannot atone, and I dared not drag out an ignoble existence in this world. However, as I truly could not stop worrying about my three young children, I had no choice but to…”
Everyone stared in shock at the eldest prince consort Shu Quan who was lying beside the three children.?From her narration, could it be, could it be that the eldest prince consort had committed suicide with her children?
No wonder it looked so much like they had gotten poisoned.
“Impossible! Impossible!” The eldest prince Mo Jiao trembled all over as he screamed, “This is impossible! I clearly saw the four of them board the carriage! How could they return back to the Eldest Prince’s Estate and write this suicide note? It’s you! You did it!”
The eldest prince pointed at the young crown prince consort and then placed his saber against Consort Dowager Shu’s neck again. “You all don’t come over! If you dare come over, I’ll spill her blood on the spot!”
“Archers at the ready,” the crown prince ordered coldly. Not only was the eldest prince flabbergasted, even the king and the queen abruptly turned to look at him.
“Royal Father, don’t blame this son for being ruthless. This person needs to be captured at all costs.” Crown Prince Mo swept the old king a glance before raising his arm slightly.
The archers lying in wait on the rooftops immediately drew their bows, ready to fire.
*Swish, whoosh, whoosh.*?The moment the people from the Vassal King of An’nan’s Estate and the Eldest Prince’s Estate saw the archers acting in unison on the rooftops, they quivered their lips and started bawling in panic.
