Chapter 185: Ugly Eating

Translator: 549690339

From the moment the Prince of Huaiyang had indicated for her to dismiss all the irrelevant people, Empress Wang had started to beat a drum in her heart. Her intuition had been bad, but who knew that it was actually this matter.

She did not want to admit that the Crown Prince had tainted his hands, so she had personally poisoned Noble Consort Liu to death.

The Crown Prince was only seventeen years old. Even though he was the crown prince of a country, she constantly reminded him that he had a heavy responsibility and that he had grown up. However, in her heart, he was still a child. It was just that he was shouldering the future of this country, so he had no choice but to be an adult. He had too many responsibilities.

However, no matter how unwilling Empress Wang was, she had no choice but to believe it.

It wasn’t the first time that the Crown Prince had complained to her about Emperor Yu Heng’s favoritism, and he even had the intention to change the crown prince.

He was sick of Imperial Concubine Liu. He thought that everything was instigated by her.

He even blamed her for not being able to win the emperor’s heart as the empress and not being able to suppress the arrogant concubines.

.. Not only that, she had seen every change in the Crown Prince. It was just that she had beautified it and would rather believe that Noble Consort Liu’s death was an accident, a pie falling from the sky onto their heads.

The Prince of Huaiyang’s words completely woke Empress Wang up. She could no longer pretend to be asleep.

She knew too well that there was no need for Prince Huaiyang to lie so easily. At least, it wouldn’t be today when everything was settled.

“Thank you for telling me this, Uncle.”Empress Wang stood up and bowed solemnly to the Prince of Huaiyang. According to Emperor Yuheng’s crazy personality, if the Prince of Huaiyang told her about this, the mother and son would probably not end well. She was willing to kneel for her son, let alone this bow.

“Sister-in-law didn’t teach her son well… You’re our mother and son’s savior.”

“Sister-in-law is too serious.” Prince Huaiyang quickly stood up and dodged the bow. “Aunty and I didn’t say all this to buy a good deal. The Crown Prince is my sister-in-law’s son, isn’t he also my nephew? Noble Consort Liu is just a concubine, arrogant and despotic. If she dies, so be it. The Crown Prince doesn’t need to implicate himself for this matter.”

Having said that, the Lord of Huaiyang bowed and retreated.

“No matter what, your nephew and I will remember what Uncle did today.”Empress Wang’s motherly heart was fully revealed. “If it wasn’t for Uncle, there would be no future for the Crown Prince. In the future…No matter when, I’ll have to trouble Little Uncle to guide the Crown Prince.

I am in the harem and can’t control the previous dynasty. 1 don’t know the foundation. It’s all thanks to uncle.”

“How could I dare to disobey sister-in-law’s orders?”Prince Huaiyang bowed once again. His fat body was very flexible in saluting and greeting, without any hesitation.

Empress Wang asked her trusted maid to personally send her out of the palace.

“Call that unfilial son to Jiaofang Palace!”Empress Wang’s fingernails were about to scratch her palms until they were bleeding, but her heart did not ache as much as hers.

She didn’t understand how she could have trained such such a narrow-minded person after all the hard work she had put in. Was Noble Consort Liu even worthy?

No matter how much Noble Consort Liu acted, she was just a noble consort. If the Emperor wanted to depose the Crown Prince and replace him with the Crown Prince, he would have to be able to depose him, right?

Emperor Epsilon believed himself to be a wise ruler, so he was bound by even greater restrictions. It was impossible for him not to care about the reactions of the courtiers and aristocratic families. The Crown Prince was the eldest son and had done nothing wrong. Why should he depose the Crown Prince just because he doted on a concubine? They didn’t even need to make a move. The ministers wouldn’t agree to it first.

The emperor did not have as much autonomy as he had imagined, especially when it came to the Crown Prince, the foundation of the country.

Was the child that she had spent so much effort to raise and teach such a brainless but bloody person? Trying to kill people just because they didn’t get along?

“.. Your Highness, the Prince of Huaiyang has just left, and you’re calling the Crown Prince into the palace. What if the Emperor asks about it?”

This was a guilty conscience.

I don’t know how I can be reasonable when I commit a crime. Do I have to pick the time when 1 want to see my own child?

However, when the Prince of Huaiyang made it clear that the Crown Prince had sent someone to poison Consort Liu, Empress Wang felt guilty. The fire burned to the top of her head, but she swallowed it back.

She even wanted to cry herself to death.

What was the reason for her painstaking efforts to balance the harem and gain a good reputation? All these years, the reason why she was so confident and dared to challenge Emperor Yu Heng was because she had done what was right. She had never used any underhanded methods, and her hands had never been stained with blood…

All of this was shattered by the Crown Prince.

In the past, she was a child who was learning to speak, reciting the Book of Filial Piety to her with a childish voice, and smiling so purely. How did she become like this now…

Empress Wang’s tears flowed down unknowingly. What went wrong?

###

The Prince of Huaiyang did not have Empress Wang’s roundabout thoughts. With Empress Wang’s approval, he could finally put his heart at ease.

This case was easy to handle because Emperor Yu Heng had given him full authority to handle it. He had not gone through the Supreme Court or the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, he would have to go through a lot of trouble.

The Crown Prince had handled this matter quite beautifully. He did not leave behind any substantial evidence, but only some circumstantial evidence. For example, the Crown Prince’s personal attendant had visited the cake shop many times and got along well with the shopkeeper. He was also the one who had taught the shopkeeper the folk prescription for using arsenic-based medicine.

The shopkeeper didn’t even know that the person was the Crown Prince’s personal attendant or that the Prince of Huaiyang’s subordinate knew that person. He had paid attention to the case and reported it to the Prince of Huaiyang in private. If not for that, Prince Huaiyang would not have thought that it was the Crown Prince who did it.

He thought it was Empress Wang.

In the end, it was his seventeen-year-old nephew. Well, she was six years younger than him, but he was much more ruthless. He was even stronger than his father, Emperor Yu Heng. Emperor Yu Heng had risen to the throne at the age of 20, and killing the imperial clan members was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. As expected of the Song family’s child, he carried it in his bones.

Therefore, the father and son were both stronger than him.

However, the Prince of Huaiyang had no intention of exposing the Crown Prince. First of all, there was insufficient evidence. If the Emperor believed him, it would be fine. If his suspicion flared up, he would be implicated and be punished in the future. It would not be worth it. After all, the Wang family had a large business, and the Crown Prince had a big tree to lean on. It was uncertain if he could move the Crown Prince, but it did not benefit him at all.

Secondly, even if the Crown Prince were to fall, who would be able to take the throne?

Xin ‘an King? Those who were not from the same clan were forced to the throne by Emperor Yu Heng. The Wang family was watching from the side, and it was uncertain whether he could successfully sit on the throne. He, the Prince of Huaiyang, who had single-handedly toppled the Crown Prince, had completely offended the Wang family.

Moreover, his princess consort was from the Langya Wang family. It was hard to guard against thieves day and night. If that guy played dirty with him behind his back, just like the Crown Prince, he would lose his life.

No matter how he schemed in his heart, there was no benefit in upholding justice.

It would be better to take this opportunity to sell the Empress and the Crown Prince a favor. In the future, it would be good for you, me, and everyone.

As for Noble Consort Liu, who cared if she died or not?

Even if he died, he was the one who did it. He had no roots and no foundation. He did not even have the support of a minister in the court, yet he dared to covet the position of the Crown Prince. He jumped up and down, and his eating habits were ugly..
