Alluring His Wife: The Evil King's Fifth Consort Chapter 416

Chapter 416 - 416

Zhong Lixian's words were said with logic and evidence, watertight.

The empress sat at the side, her gentle lips tapping a few times, revealing a frosty look.

Zhong Lixian clearly wanted her to teach Wei Yuanwei out in front of the emperor. With the emperor's permission, even if she didn't want to give it to him, he wouldn't be able to.

Even if he wanted to do something to Wei Yuanwei in the future, he would have to reconsider.

Unfortunately, Zhong Lixian took a step forward.

The emperor heard the empress's words and was about to say something, but the empress's expression changed to one of embarra.s.sment and sadness, and even her voice became choked with sobs.

"Xing'er, about this …" Sigh, let Eunuch Li speak up for me! " The empress turned her face away, looking like he couldn't bear it any longer.

Eunuch Li's expression immediately changed, as if he was grieving for his own little sister: "Crown Prince, this is something this servant wanted to tell you, but when Empress thought about the fact that your leg has not fully healed yet, she wanted to wait for the crown prince to recover before telling you, just last night, Miss Wei accidentally fell into the well in the middle of the night, and the palace maids that were with me immediately called for help, but when they returned, there was no activity at all in the well …."

As Zhong Lixian sat by the side and listened, her pale complexion immediately lost all color, and her expression was full of shock and disbelief. (TL: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU = [email protected]@

Ling Chen stared at the empress, who was sitting by the table with her head lowered. He did not expect his mother to act so quickly.

"Since that's the case, let's have someone properly bury that lady's corpse, right?" The emperor's expression turned slightly solemn. The new year was coming up in a few days, so why did all these bad things happen one after another?

Zhong Lixian looked at the Queen, the veins on the back of her hands were popping out as she tightly clenched her fists.

His eyes almost popped out, but he quickly said in a soft voice: "I want to take a last look at this lady, after all this lady cured my leg. If it wasn't for this lady, I might be sitting in a wheelchair forever in the near future!"

He did not believe that Wei Yuanwei would die so easily, especially after he warned Wei Yuanwei.

The Queen raised her pair of eyes and looked at Zhong Lixian coldly, but her face still had a benevolent look, just as she was about to speak out.

A voice sounded from outside the door.

"Who's shouting outside? Let her in! " The emperor said impatiently after hearing this.

After that, a woman dressed in pink entered the palace in a hurry and knelt on the ground as soon as she entered. "Empress, please forgive me. I don't know why I haven't woken up from sleep today, but I've made an hour pill for you. May I ask for the empress's forgiveness …"

As the woman spoke, her entire body was trembling, as if she was extremely afraid.

Eunuch Li watched helplessly as the woman walked to the front of the empress and knelt on her knees. Her face was devoid of blood, and her narrow eyes watched on with fear and disbelief.

As for the Queen, she narrowed her dangerous eyes and a layer of frost condensed on her face as she glared fiercely at Eunuch Li.

The one who entered was none other than Wei Yuanwei.

The moment Zhong Lixian saw Wei Yuanwei coming in, the cold and stern expression on her face that was filled with barely restrained anger quickly turned into a hint of joy, and then, he looked at the Empress with a little complacency.

Even though the Queen was furious, she had no choice but to endure it. Her face revealed a shocked expression as she looked at Eunuch Li, "Eunuch Li, what's going on?"

Eunuch Li was also at a loss for words. She was so shocked by Wei Yuanwei who suddenly popped out of nowhere that she was unable to speak: "This …. This … "I don't know either. The palace maid who got up with you said that you dropped into the well accidentally. When the person came to save you, he had already stopped moving..." "Th-this … Your majesty, empress, and servant are also confused …"

Last night, he had clearly ordered his men to throw Wei Yuanwei into the well, and he had even waited at the well for a long time.

Now, why would Wei Yuanwei appear in front of him again and again today?

Could it be that those eunuchs carried the wrong person?

Impossible, Wei Yuanwei was the only one living in that room.

The emperor was also puzzled, frowning as he looked at the empress.

Zhong Lixian, on the other hand, looked at the corner of Wei Yuanwei's mouth with an extremely enchanting and beautiful smile.

He knew right away that it was impossible for Wei Yuanwei to die so easily. If she died just like that, then she would not be worth it for him to waste so much effort on.

"I don't know either. I've been sleeping in my room and just woke up. Maybe that palace maid saw the wrong person. Besides, I don't have the habit of doing it in the middle of the night …" Wei Yuanwei said with her head lowered.

"Eunuch Li, you can see what you have done? Without even being able to determine the ident.i.ty of the deceased person, just by listening to the maid's words, one could tell that the young lady has died. Fortunately, the young lady is fine, otherwise, if anything were to happen to Yin'er's legs, would you be able to bear the burden? " The queen said angrily.

Eunuch Li knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, saying, "Empress, please forgive us!"

"Alright, as long as you are alive!" "It seems that the empress has lived in the temple for a long time, and the people below have become undisciplined and lack manners. The empress should first teach the people in her own palace the rules before she teaches them to others. Crown Prince, since you're not feeling well, let this young lady have a good look!"

How could the emperor not know what was going on when things had gotten to this point?

He had yet to fish the corpse out from the well, but he had already determined that the victim was Wei Yuanwei. Wasn't this clearly a conspiracy?

With that, the emperor flicked his sleeves and left. If this matter was investigated further, then the Empress's scheme would be completely exposed.

"This son respectfully sends royal father off!" Zhong Lixian bowed slightly towards the emperor's back.

He then turned to the queen, whose face was covered in frost, and said, "This official shall take his leave. I shall not disturb mother's rest!"

"Yin'er …" The empress stopped Zhong Lixian at this moment, and glared at him fiercely, "For a woman, you still want to go against me?"

"This son doesn't understand mother's meaning." Zhong Lixian lowered his eyes, the orange candlelight s.h.i.+ning down onto his thick eyelashes, reflecting all of the shadows.

"I'm telling you, the crown prince's consort position can't be held by anyone other than Min Rong. I'm also not allowing you to leave a person by your side who will harm Min Rong in the future!" The empress's words were cold and terrifying.

The court lady in the room didn't even dare to breathe. Although the fire in the stove was burning vigorously, it still gave people the feeling that the room was chilly.
