C234 (1/2)
The night was charming. The thick white fog tightly wrapped around the two of them as they slept on the rattan chairs. It was better to pass this layer of time where they could not bear to disturb each other.
At this moment, the lights of the Tai Bei Manor of the capital were flickering, merging together with the moonlight that was sprinkling down.
Shangguan Jingyan lied on the luxurious bed carved with pear blossoms, his eyes closed and his face pale white.
The Prefecture Physician sat in front of the bed and carefully took her pulse. Suddenly, he frowned. Pushing away Shangguan Jing's hand wall, a piece of palace sand that a young girl should have was missing from her flawless arm.
With a ”f * ck”, he stood up, looked at Shangguan Jingyan in disbelief, and then bowed to Grand Commandant Shangguan.
”Congratulations, old master. The little miss is really happy now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room turned to look at the doctor, their faces filled with disbelief.
”Elder Wu, what did you say?” You're saying it again? ”
Mistress Shangguan's body went limp and she almost fell down. She tightened her grip on the brocade handkerchief in her hand.
”Madam. ”Young miss, she's feeling happy now …”
The tense atmosphere caused him to be unable to breathe, but the doctor was trembling with fear as he explained the results of his pulse examination.
”Bastard, what nonsense are you spouting? Miss is a pure and innocent girl, do you believe that this Grand Commandant will immediately cut off your head and feed it to the dogs? ”
Grand Commandant Shangguan kicked the Residence Doctor to the ground, his eyes red with killing intent as he pulled out his sword from the guard's scabbard and mercilessly chopped down at the Residence Doctor.
The decisiveness and ruthlessness were enough to cause one to tremble in fear.
How important was the title of an unmarried woman? If it were to be spread today, his Jing Yan might not be able to get the title of Queen anymore.
The people present today could not be left alive.
”Men, drag this quack out and throw him at the unmarked cemetery to feed the dogs!”
Grand Commandant Shangguan wiped his blood-soaked hands clean with a handkerchief from the maidservant's hands, then glanced at the family doctor lying in a pool of blood, and casually instructed.
Not long after, a few servants walked onto the precursors and threw them onto the dilapidated carriage, heading towards the unmarked cemetery on the west side of the city.
In the middle of the night, Shangguan Jing's western courtyard was suddenly set ablaze. By the time the patrolling servants rushed over to extinguish the fire, the western courtyard had already been swallowed up by the fire, leaving behind pitch black ruins that exuded a strong stench of blood.
All of the maidservant s serving Shangguan Jingyan in the west wing courtyard had died in this fire tonight.
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the layers of treetops onto the palace walls of Ronghua palace. It was quiet and beautiful.
”Pa …”
”Dongfang Chen, are you trying to anger me to death?”
A crisp slap sounded from within, followed by a high-pitched, ear-piercing voice that contained boundless rage.
”Reporting to mother, your son has made up his mind. Please grant me your wish, mother.”
In the main hall of the Glorious Imperial Palace, Dongfang Chen knelt in front of Situ Lan with an unwavering expression.
When Situ Lan, who was sitting on the short crater heard this, a trace of ruthlessness shot out from his black and taut face. He threw the teacup in his hand towards Dongfang Chen's forehead.
Dongfang Chen kneeled on the ground, as steady as Mt. Tai. With an indifferent look in his eyes, he allowed the fresh blood on his forehead to flow, blurring his vision.
All of the palace ladies knelt on the ground, lowering their heads to lower themselves to the ground. It had been a long time since they'd seen the empress getting so angry.
”Impudent!” Now that you have grown up, your wings are hard, and you don't even listen to your mother's words? ”
Situ Lan suddenly stood up, her black face was twisted like a mother's yaksha from her angry roar, it was extremely terrifying.
”Pa …”
A precious ceramic object was thrown onto the ground by Situ Lan, but the anger on her face became more and more concentrated, as her cold and intimidating aura enveloped the entirety of the Imperial Palace.
”Imperial Mother, please calm your anger! This son has already made up his mind, I will never marry Shangguan Jingyan as my concubine in this life! ”
Ignoring Situ Lan's dark face, Dongfang Chen's eyes flashed with a resolute light.
If it wasn't for the fact that Grand Commandant Shangguan was useful to the imperial government, he definitely wouldn't have allowed that slut to return to the capital alive, and become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Situ Lan suddenly let out a sigh of relief as he pointed at Dongfang Chen, unable to say a word.
It was obvious that he was greatly angered.
”Please calm your anger, Empress!” ”The crown prince, he …”
Gui mama ran in quickly and knelt in front of Situ Lan with a ”plop” to stop him.
Senior Servant Gui was Situ Lan's concubine, and Dongfang Chen was the one that she grew up with, so she doted on him a lot.
”Senior Servant Gui, move aside.”
Situ Lan looked down at Senior Servant Gui condescendingly. The killing intent in his eyes was cold to the bone.
Both of her hands under her sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. If Dongfang Chen did not cooperate, she did not mind changing her son.
