Chapter 611 - Theres Always Only One Fact (2/2)

“What’s the matter with Father?” Feng Yuran stopped and looked at Liu Xi, his eyes twinkling. The faint smile on his lips made Liu Xi feel scared. It was not easy to fool this prince. Besides, others did not know what the Emperor’s expectation for him, but Liu Xi could see it clearly. Therefore, he did not dare to hide it. He laughed dryly and looked around. Then, he turned around and whispered in Feng Yuran’s ear.

“His Majesty read the record of interrogating Consort Zhao in the imperial harem in the morning, and then he locked himself in the study. Your Highness, you’d better go and have a look first!”

As soon as Consort Zhao was locked up in the Cold Palace, the Emperor sent someone to interrogate her. As he got the record, his face darkened. Liu Xi was the Emperor’s trusted subordinate, but he did not dare to disturb him at this time. He had been walking back and forth outside the study for many rounds. When he saw Feng Yuran, he breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Emperor was not in good health, and was in such a rage, Liu Xi had been worried about him.

“Consort Zhao?”

“Yes. I heard that it’s about what happened more than 10 years ago. His Majesty is very angry!” Liu Xi sighed. This matter was a knot in the father’s and son’s hearts. The father and son had argued for many times because of Consort Zhao. Especially the rash King Xuan had always thought that Consort Zhao was not a good person. However, the Emperor had always protected Consort Zhao because of her face that was very similar to Consort Xian’s.

“I’ll go in and take a look right now.” Feng Yuran smiled coolly. He waved his sleeves and strode in, with a plan in mind.

He had been disliking Consort Zhao all the time, always feeling that her face, which was similar to his mother’s, was extremely unreal. However, Consort Zhao had been very careful then and no one could find anything wrong with her. She had been so kind to Feng Yuran that even Emperor Zongwen had praised her, and claimed that he wanted to keep Feng Yuran under Consort Zhao’s name.

Even though Feng Yuran was very young then, he was an independent person. Emperor Zongwen did not listen to what he said, so he could only think of another way. He asked his servants to find some poison, placed it in his bowl and drank it. Then he got poisoned. After that, Emperor Zongwen did not trust anyone in the palace and sent him out of the palace to keep him outside.

It lasted for 10 years, and Consort Zhao had been quiet in the palace and had never gone out of Mingyue Palace for 10 years.

When Feng Yuran returned, Consort Zhao still had never done misdeeds, and Emperor Zongwen was still protecting her. However, Feng Yuran was no longer the child who had no choice but to poison himself. He slowly and deliberately pushed everything in the palace to go on. He found a way to release Consort Zhao first so that he could carry out the plan. Then, accidents would happen and Emperor Zongwen would discover that Consort Zhao was far from the gentle and amiable woman he had imagined.

At this point, his father must have found out something!

He could not help walking anxiously. When his mother died, he was too small. He once felt that it was the Empress who poisoned his mother. But in fact, he still did not find it out. Although he had a few people in the palace, since he did not have his mother in the palace, he could not reach too far.

What happened back then was a secret that he could not investigate it as he wished!

Unless his father gave the order in person!

The imperial study was very quiet. The little eunuchs outside the door all lowered their heads. Even the general manager hid aside and remained quiet. The little eunuchs, of course, did not dare to show any more expressions. The atmosphere behind the door was cold even though there was still a long distance. The master inside was in a bad mood today.

Feng Yuran entered the imperial study and saw that Emperor Zongwen had his eyes closed and was leaning against a large nanmu wood chair. His face was pale and he looked tired. Even though he had a calm look on his face, the corners of his eyes and brows trembled from time to time. It was obvious that he was extremely angry. The corners of the paper on the table were a little messy.

Feng Yuran took two steps forward, picked up the file from the table and cast a few glances at it. Then a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. He took the file and was about to leave.

“Old Eight, wait.” Emperor Zongwen opened his eyes and said calmly.

“Father, is there any need for the He family to exist?” Feng Yuran turned around, his handsome face filled with anger as he looked at Emperor Zongwen, unyielding.

“That’s your mother’s family, after all. It’s your uncle’s family.” Emperor Zongwen stopped him. He also hated the He family. He did not expect that the He family would order Consort Zhao behind the scenes. The He family sent Consort Xian to the imperial palace, but because she did not speak well of them in front of the Emperor, they bore grudges against her. The purpose of sending Consort Zhao into the palace was to fight for favor with Consort Xian, and then to kill her.

This was the truth of Consort Xian’s death! And there was only one fact. It was all because He family fought for favor and wealth. Feng Yuran did not think there was a need for such a family to exist. He even had an impulse to kill all the He family members and use their blood as a sacrifice to his mother and to comfort her soul in heaven.

Although the Empress came to threaten Consort Xian, Consort Xian would not have been dead if Consort Zhao had not tried to kill her. Besides, Consort Zhao had been sent to the palace by the He family…
