The Queen Doesn't Want to Die
Chapter 173
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Mo Han. The senior guard and the other guards heaved a sigh of relief. Previously they were confused how to deal with Pei Liu Wen even though they had direct orders from Pei Zhang Xi because after all Pei Liu Wen was one of the princes of the Shao Empire. Especially with all the commotion, they became the center of attention of other invited guests who were queuing up. They did not know if there was a strong person behind Pei Liu Wen as his backer. If they had unintentionally offended them because of this matter, it was afraid that they would not be able to withstand the consequences.
"Mo Han, the law of the gatekeepers who have dared to block us here." Pei Liu Wen immediately gave the order when he saw Mo Han. Although Mo Han was only a guard, he was Pei Zhang Xi's right-hand man. In the palace, Mo Han had a status that looked higher than the nobles even the princes due to his power.
"Please forgive King Nan's servant for this inconvenience. However this is the arrangement of His Highness the Crown Prince personally for you." Mo Han said with a smile floating on his lips.
"really?" Pei Liu Wen was so happy after hearing what Mo Han said. He was immediately excited.
"really. His Majesty has provided something special before the coronation. That's why His Majesty asked the servant to pick up King Nan." Mo Han explained.
"good. Then don't waste time here. Lead the way." Pei Liu Wen was about to walk when An Jia Yun restrained his sleeves and made him stop.
"What's the problem? Why arrest me, huh? Didn't you hear that His Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting huh?" Pei Liu Wen who was pulled by An Jia Yun immediately got angry and shouted in annoyance.
"Didn't you feel like there was something strange, Your Majesty?" An Jia Yun whispered in Pei Liu Wen's ear which made him flinch from discovering there was indeed something strange.
"Eh.... How then?" Reply Pei Liu Wen also in a whispering manner.
"However he is the current crown prince. If we refuse his orders openly, it will be bad for us going forward. We better follow them first. But we must remain vigilant. If there's anything strange we'll find a reason to leave soon."
"All right, I understand." Pei Liu Wen nodded his head before commenting on the smile and turned back to look at Mo Han.
"Then Mo Han, take me to see His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Of course King Nan. Let's." Let's." Mo Han immediately waved his hand giving way to Pei Liu Wen along with his people.
Pei Zhang Xi took out something from under his outer robe as Lu Jing Yu finished fixing his makeup that Pei Zhang Xi had broken. It was actually good for Pei Zhang Xi to ruin it because the makeup made by the servant Aunt that Queen Zhu had sent to help Lu Jing Yu was indeed doing her job well.
This morning when Lu Jing Yu was still taking a bath, the old servant of Suti's mother's confidant came to call Pei Zhang Xi to come see her. The Queen Mother was in an increasingly good state day by day after getting intensive care from Lu Jing Yu and the strict supervision of the Imperial healers. Under competent people, Suri's mother's condition was stable. Moreover, some people who tried to infiltrate to disrupt the condition of the queen mother were arrested quickly before causing trouble.
With the various preparations made over the course of a few weeks it is unlikely that Suri's mother will not be aware of what is happening. Finally with the Empress Mother's merciless insistence, the Queen Mother's trusty old servant could finally only tell her if Pei Zhang Xi would soon be crowned Crown Prince.
As a Suri mother who had spent almost her entire life inside the palace, without being told in detail, the, he already understood how Pei Zhang Xi who always insisted on refusing when his grandfather offended the matter of the Crown Prince was finally willing and would be crowned as the Crown Prince that there must be many problems that arise and managed to make Pei Zhang Xi had no other choice.
By the time Pei Zhang Xi came to her room to meet her, the Queen Mother also said nothing but to give her a golden Phoenix hair ornament with a beautiful strand of eastern sea pearls. That hair ornament was the hereditary legacy of the Shao Imperial family. The Queen Mother did not give it to Queen Zhu because the Queen Mother judged that the great character of the Phoenix was incompatible with the ambitious Queen Zhu. So he could only keep it until he found someone who matched him. And according to him Lu Jing Yu was the right person to accept it.
"Is this Your Majesty?" Lu Jing Yu asked as she felt the hair ornament that Pei Zhang Xi had just pinned on her head.
"grandmother's giving. Do you like it?" Pei Zhang Xi gave the mirror to Lu Jing Yu.
"It's.... It does look beautiful. But..."
"Of course it's beautiful. This was a treasure of the Shao Empire family that had been passed down by generations. So you have to take good care of it. Hbs." Pei Zhang Xi looked at Lu Jing Yu's eyes deeply.
Tuk. Pei Zhang Xi flicked Lu Jing Yu's forehead. Making his wife frown displeased as he held onto her forehead which was quite painful.
"It hurts. Your Majesty is cruel." Lu Jing Yu grumbled. His small lips increasingly look funny when pursed.
"That's a lesson so you don't think recklessly."
"I don't think too much. Didn't His Majesty say that this was an Imperial family treasure passed down by generations. How can I accept if Queen Zhu doesn't?"
"You think any woman can be the owner of a family estate? Grandma always appreciated this Phoenix hair ornament. That's why grandma didn't give it to the Queen Mother because the Queen Mother's character doesn't match this Phoenix hair ornament."
"ah! In that case, since grandma thinks I deserve it, I will take good care of it so that I don't make grandma regret having handed this precious hair ornament to me."
"It's good if you understand."
"Your Majesty, Mo Han came to report." Xiao Bei's voice sounded from outside.
"Let him in. You come in too. Help me perfect the Crown Princess's appearance."
"Your Majesty."
Soon Mo Han walked into the room together with Xiao Bei.
"How's it?" Pei Zhang Xi directly asked as Mo Han walked in.
"Honor Your Majesty. The servant has done as His Majesty commanded."
"good. How then?"
"As Your Majesty estimates. Getting them to talk is not easy. But after we have issued all the evidence that cornered him, they cannot evade the accusations. They are currently being handled. His Majesty the Emperor has also sent his troops to help."
"Finally the man made the right choice."
