Chapter 531
~ BUT YUE WANG IS IMPOSSIBLE ~
The Old Madam’s eyes were wide open, her entire body was skinny, and her face was haggard, devoid of the rich and graceful appearance of the past, as if a skeleton wrapped in flesh, “Mu Yunyao, you’re so vicious!”
“You know precisely what the Su family has done. The Emperor was kind enough to give you a cup of poisoned wine out of respect for your dignity as an Old Madam. Su Wenyuan was more miserable than you. He was sentenced to be executed after autumn, and his corpse could not be left intact. Su Qingwu was also exiled and sent into the army, so there was no way to help him gather his bones and hold his coffin. Fortunately, everyone in the second branch is doing well and can take care of Su Yaxian and the others. Therefore, the Old Madam should be eased when you are gone.”
The Old Madam gasped for breath in large mouthfuls, only feeling that breathing was difficult. “Mu Yunyao, you will die a horrible death!”
“Now that it has come to this, the Old Madam shouldn’t speak so arrogantly. Can’t you still understand the situation?” Now that you have angered me, I might as well do as you wish. With a vicious thought, I’ll directly destroy the roots of your Su family!”
The Old Madam gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment: “I should have made a move earlier to kill you and Xu Yanhan in Xiayan Village.”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sneer, “There’s no medicine for regret in this world.”
The Old Madam turned her head and looked at Mu Yunyao a few times before maliciously raising the corner of her lips. “Mu Yunyao, I heard that you like Yue Wang? You even went to Jiangnan to find him?”
Mu Yunyao walked a little further away and found a chair to sit on before turning around to look at the Old Madam: “Previously, Doctor Lin said that your mind was a little confused. In my opinion, you’re still very clear-headed. Even while you’re laying in bed, you’re still concerned about everything happening outside.”
The Old Madam’s smile became even more twisted: “I have a secret about the background of Yue Wang. Do you want to know?”
“What secrets are there regarding the background of His Royal Highness Yue Wang?”
Mu Yunyao raised her eyes and looked leisurely, but she was tense in her heart. After receiving the news from Li De, she initially did not want to return to the Su family. After all, towards the Old Madam, she could only feel hatred in her heart. If she were to meet her again, it would only cause her heart to feel displeased.
However, when she thought of the Luo Kun, whom Yue Wang had met in Guancheng, she couldn’t help but return to find out what had happened that year from the Old Madam’s mouth.
“Hahaha,” The Old Madam leaned sideways and smiled extremely presumptuously, “Do you think His Royal Highness Yue Wang is really the Emperor’s son?”
Mu Yunyao’s eyes fiercely trembled as she abruptly raised her gaze to look over, “I honestly didn’t imagine you would actually dare to climb up into His Royal Highness Yue Wang when facing death?”
“Haha, trying to climb him up? Do I need to play around with him? “Mu Yunyao, I have always believed that the inheritance of the Dali Dynasty throne has always advocated the establishment of a direct heir. Do you think you will have the chance to enter the Palace in the future by capturing His Royal Highness Yue Wang and even wanting to stick to him regardless of shame and reputation?”
“Isn’t it? Since the Old Madam could inquire about my whereabouts outside, you must have already known about Ling Wang and Jin Wang’s actions in Jiangnan. By digging the embankments and harming the people, the Emperor would never hand over the throne to these two people. The adult princes in the dynasty are only His Royal Highness Yu Wang and Yue Wang. His Royal Highness Yu Wang is not in the Imperial Court. He also frequently acts and speaks unrestrainedly. Furthermore, he has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness Yue Wang, and as long as he uses this bit of power, he will be easily trampled on. Then who else is His Royal Highness Yue Wang’s opponent?”
“In your dreams!” Hearing Mu Yunyao’s plan, the Old Madame could not help but laugh. “Let me tell you, anyone can ascend to the throne, but Yue Wang is impossible! Do you want to know the reason?”
“You are a person who is about to die, and you hate me to the bone. Why should I believe your words?”
“Haha, you’re scared!” Seeing Mu Yunyao’s expression flicker, the Old Madame felt exceptionally happy in her heart. “You don’t want to hear it, but I want to tell you. The reason is that Yue Wang is not the Emperor’s legitimate son. More accurately, he is not the Emperor’s son at all!”
Mu Yunyao’s heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning. She gripped her palms tightly, not wanting to lose her composure, “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Every word I say is factual. If not, why do you think the Emperor put the Empress in a cold palace? If the Empress did poison a few princes, but for the sake of the child in her stomach, the Emperor should at least have had someone take care of her until she gave birth to the child. But the result is that not only did the Emperor send the Empress into the Cold Palace, but even Yue Wang had never been brought out since he was born. As a dignified prince, he grew up in the Cold Palace until he was 12, then he was directly sent to the bitterly cold place in Western Guangdong. Would the Emperor treat his own son this way?”
Mu Yunyao’s heart trembled as she recalled the question that flashed past her mind. Whether it was the Emperor or her grandmother, they didn’t obstruct her from having a relationship with Yue Wang. Could it be that this was the real reason? Since His Royal Highness Yue Wang was not the Emperor’s son, so he is not connected to her by blood. Therefore, there is no need to object at all.
The Old Madam laughed heartily. She liked seeing Mu Yunyao’s beautiful dream being broken. “Do you want to know whose child Yue Wang is?”
Mu Yunyao stood up, walked to the bed step by step, and stared at the Old Madam. “You’re about to die, but you’re still blabbering nonsense. I think we should cut your tongue before we give you the poisoned wine!”
“Haha, I’m going to die anyway. Do you think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you, Yue Wang is the son of the head of one of the six aristocratic families, Luo Kun!”
Luo Kun?
Mu Yunyao’s expression turned ugly, “Shut up!”
“I have to say that he is a b*st*rd and a disgrace to the royal family! As the Empress, she had an affair with someone and even gave birth to that b*st*rd Yue Wang. Hahaha, Mu Yunyao, your heart is even higher than the sky. You actually chose and picked Ning Junyue. I have to admit that this is really shameful.”
“The Emperor and Empress are a young couple. The two have a strong relationship, so there’s no reason for the Empress to betray the Emperor….”
“You don’t know about this, but the Palace is desolate. Under the coercion of the six aristocratic families, the Emperor’s position could be said to be on the verge of collapse. Even the Grand Princess was almost forced into marriage. If it weren’t for the fact that she had used such despicable tactics to distance herself from the six aristocratic families, who knows who the ruler of the Imperial Court would be right now? After that, the Emperor gradually gained control of the power, and the first thing he did was exterminate the six aristocratic families. Isn’t it because he hated them deeply? Among them, the affair between the Empress and Luo Kun is a large part of the reason for the hatred. As for that young couple having a solid relationship, if the Emperor really cared about the Empress, the Wei family would have left the Wei family alone. But did he show mercy? No!”
Mu Yunyao’s expression was cold as she looked at the Old Madam in disgust.
The Old Madam’s smile became even more insolent. “Haha, the machine stratagem is too clever, but it’s all for naught! Mu Yunyao, hahaha, you’re just a joke! What about noble birth? What about the granddaughter of Grand Princess Yi De? Your father is a servant of my Su Family, so you are also a servant of my Su family! You also found a b*st*rd, a disgraceful b*st*rd!”
