The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 148
But compared to everyone's shock, the one most shocked in this matter was Pei Yu Chen who was the son of concubine Yue. But other than feeling surprised, Pei Yu Chen actually had a lot of disappointment in his eyes.
Concubine Yue was not Emperor Pei An Long's favorite concubine. But also not a forgotten concubine and do not get affection. But for fifteen years he entered the palace after being sent by his parents who were one of the middle class officials in hopes of gaining support and improving his status, concubine Yue had only ever been pregnant and gave birth once - prince Pei Yu Chen who was the youngest prince who was twelve years old.
However even though prince Pei Yu Chen was still very young, he understood one thing. When the woman owner of the inn said that Mr. Li who recognizes the child in the stomach of mistress Li who refers to her mother, it means... He was not the son of the emperor but rather the son of Consort Yue with Li Zhi Jin.
Pei Yu Chen fell to the floor with a plop sound making everyone wake up from their daze and began to turn their gaze from the innkeeper woman towards Pei Yu Chen and Li Zhi Jin alternately until they start to find some similarities between the two people and begin to conclude their arguments.
"Yu Chen's... Calm yourself." Pei Qin Yang had always cherished his step-sound because from his nature, the two of them were almost similar to each other.
"Not the fifth brother. Even though I'm young, I understand what's going on here." Pei Yu Chen stood up ignoring the hand of Pei Qin Yang floating in the air. Then he walked about to leave the place before Consort Yue called out to him with a quivering voice.
"Chen... Listen to your mother." Concubine Yue grabbed Pei Yu Chen's hand and stopped her son.
"Please don't stop me. I can't be here anymore, Mom. No. gabe. I don't even have the face to continue to stay in the palace and enjoy the comforts of the princes because I'm not part of them." Pei Yu Chen threw out his mother's hand.
"No Chen'er. You are the son of the emperor which means you are a prince who is entitled to it. Listen to your mom, okay."
"No mom. I understand what I always ask now why I am the most different among the other princes. I used to think that I had more resemblance to my mother. And I accept it even though I still find no common ground between me and you ma'am. Now I know it. It's because I'm different from the princes. I don't even have the blood of an emperor."
"Chen'er isn't. Please listen to your mother. I don't know that woman at all. I don't know that man either. So how can you be his son?" Concubine Yue grabbed Pei Yu Chen's hand once again and tried her best to explain to her son as well as everyone there. If he does not admit it, without proof, he will never be exposed...
"God..." Pei Yu Chen sneered as he glanced at the innkeeper woman who looked surprised like she had just realized something was wrong with the circumstances around. From the woman's face he already knew that what his mother explained was a lie just to fool him again.
"No Ma'am. Please don't embarrass me again. Sorry." Pei Yu Chen threw down the hand of concubine Yue once again and continued walking out regardless of what concubine Yue called her.
"Your Majesty." Lu Jing Yu pulled the tip of Pei Zhang Xi worriedly.
Pei Zhang Xi understood and nodded. Then look at Mo Han behind her. "Follow the role of Yu Chen."
"Your Majesty. I understand." Mo Han nodded. Bending his body before resigning to follow Pei Yu Chen was like Pei Zhang Xi's orders to him.
"Concubine Yue, is there still a defense from you?" Pei Zhang Xi looked at Concubine Yue who was sobbing. He almost lost his footing and fell. Luckily his loyal servant supported his body in time.
Upon hearing Pei Zhang Xi's voice, concubine Yue had eyes full of anger staring at Pei Zhang Xi. "Crown prince, I never expected this from you. Seeing how good your relationship with Chen'er has been, I can't believe Your Majesty could have created a plot to destroy this good relationship. I did not expect His Majesty to be able to commit this despicable act. I don't know where His Majesty found this old lady and made up such a ludicrous story."
"Eh?" Pei Zhang Xi did not expect that concubine Yue would still dodge and even throw a bait at her.
"I am the Emperor's woman. Even though you are the chosen crown prince, you cannot ruin the reputation of the emperor woman just like that or one would judge the Emperor badly for having a woman who let him wear a green hat. Has Your Majesty thought of the consequences?" Concubine Yue smiled satisfiedly. Pei Zhang Xi's expression also changed. However, he did not expect that the situation would progress to that extent. He never expected that concubine Yue would have such a relationship with Li Zhi Jin.
"What made concubine Yue so confident of being able to suppress His Majesty with the reputation of His Majesty the Emperor?" Lu Jing Yu who had since noticed spoke up. He stood up helped by Pei Zhang Xi.
"You... You're the despicable woman who trapped His Majesty to obtain a position. You have no right to interfere in this matter!"
"Chu Fei, concubine Yue has no ethics and does not respect the crown princess. Give him twenty slaps as punishment." Lu Jing Yu looked at Concubine Yue sharply as she gave orders to Chu Fei behind her.
"Understand Your Majesty." Chu Fei replied as she clenched her hand.
"You! What are you doing!?" Concubine Yue shouted in panic as she saw Chu Fei walking towards her.
"Stop! My Nyonyaku is the concubine of the emperor. A lowly servant like you has no right to punish him." Concubine Servant Yue blocked Chu Fei.
"Oohs. Real nice. A concubine maid dares to violate the Crown Princess' orders? Listen to this carefully. Concubine Yue was guilty of disrespecting me, the crown princess and was sentenced to twenty slaps. Whoever stopped my servant today, I don't mind ordering the guards to teach him a lesson."
"Aah!" Concubine Yue bounced as Chu Fei's hand violently smacked her cheek as soon as her servant got out of the way.
"Aah!" Concubine Yue held onto her red cheeks and began to swell after a few slaps she got. After hearing Lu Jing Yu's threat, everyone just watched it without doing anything. They actually saw Lu Jing Yu's imposing domineering aura.
Actually Lu Jing Yu was not so angry to hear concubine Yue insult her regarding the incident. What made her angry was that the woman was completely shameless and still evasive after all was exposed in front of everyone.
