My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1529

Chapter 1529: Dying a Worthy Death

“Spare me, my king. Please spare me, my king!”

“My king, we had no knowledge at all. How would we know that the Vassal King of An’nan was going to raise troops to commit treason!”

“Right, right. This maidservant merely waters flowers in the Eldest Prince’s Estate. This maidservant is innocent, wuwuwu.”

All at once, various wails and shouts melded together, interrupting the eldest prince’s uproar.

The eldest prince was truly shocked by the crown prince’s action. He was dumbstruck for some time before denouncing angrily with a shaky voice, “You, you! You actually have no regard for Consort Dowager Shu’s safety?”

As he spoke, he pressed his saber tightly against Consort Dowager Shu’s neck, as if wanting to confirm whether Mo Lian truly was going to disregard her.

This created a small but obvious bloody cut on Consort Dowager Shu’s neck.

Yet there was no change in Mo Lian’s eyes. He merely sniggered at the eldest prince, and the words he spoke were resolute and heartless. “The consort dowager will have died a worthy death by putting herself in danger and cooperating with this crown prince to restrain this traitor! In the future, there will naturally be a place for her in my Northern Mo’s royal tombs. Of course, Royal Father can also posthumously confer her as the virtuous, refined, upright, and righteous queen dowager.”

Everyone: “…”

The queen dowager: …

This grandson of hers had both a wicked mind and mouth!

He could actually say it so frankly to Consort Dowager Shu’s face.

But was there any meaning in a posthumous title when Consort Dowager Shu and them were dead?

“Cough.” The queen dowager coughed lightly to interpose. “Since Shu Quan has already committed suicide by consuming poison, and the three children are indeed innocent, then…”

By this time, Gong Chang’an had already reached the end of the letter. Shu Quan wrote that she had no other wishes and only implored that she be buried together with her three children in a peaceful area outside the palace.

The queen dowager sighed.

According to the ancestral rules, people who commited suicide indeed could not be interred in the royal tombs.

Then she might as well fulfill Shu Quan’s motherly wishes. She was also a pitiful child. She was so sensible, yet her ending was this tragic.

The queen dowager shook her head, and then she stated with a nod, “Then do it according to the eldest prince consort’s wishes. Entrust this task to several reliable people and make sure they do it well. Let that child rest in peace.”

“Yes, Queen Dowager.” Gong Chang’an received his order.

However, Crown Prince Mo cast a queer look over at Shu Quan before retracting his gaze meaningfully. He then gave some instructions to Huifeng in a low voice.

After sending Huifeng away, the crown prince looked up at the eldest prince. He had lost the last bit of his patience. “When are you planning to conclude this drama? Eldest Royal Brother, do you not realize that you truly have inferior acting skills?”

Consort Dowager Shu and the eldest prince were both stupefied. Even Consort Cheng and the other people standing behind them were also flabbergasted.

“If you keep resisting arrest, this crown prince will order my men to kill you on the spot!” Crown Prince Mo raised his arm and prepared to swing it down.

The eldest prince trembled when he heard this.

When Consort Dowager Shu felt the eldest prince’s grip slacken, she hastily pinched his waist in secret.

This was the critical moment of their life-and-death struggle, yet this pig teammate was immediately about to show his true colors after the crown prince’s intimidation.

Yet this tiny movement was enough for the crown prince to confirm that these two people were indeed in collusion.

“Take them down! Consort Dowager Shu has colluded with the Vassal King of An’nan and the eldest prince to commit treason against the king. This crime deserves ten thousand deaths.” At the crown prince’s order, royal guards swarmed in toward them like the tide.
