Chapter 493: Is a girl from my Jiang family worthy of you? Who gave you the face?

"Who would like this taste?" Ning Chengyan frowned, not to mention having smelled it, just hearing it makes one feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Wen Fu nodded, "I'm afraid..."

"Between these two points, I think he likes this taste."

"According to his skinning technique, he could make a complete human skin mask; his skill is naturally not low, yet he deliberately left the smell of a rotting corpse."

"All we can say is that he likes it."

Jiang Yun Chu sighed, looking at Ning Chengyan, "Some people's hearts are twisted; we cannot judge them with ordinary thoughts."

The Ning Emperor also nodded, "Could it be that the person behind the scenes is him?"

"What does Da Ning have that makes him scheme against it repeatedly?"

This is also where everyone is doubtful; moreover, over the years, the people there have continually stirred up other small states, constantly attacking Da Ning.

For many years, Da Ning has had no peace; many problems come from Zhongzhou.

What is the reason behind all these schemes?

Is it just because of Kang Ying?

But they have already taken Kang Ying, yet their plan continues.

Is it because of Yun chu?

But it doesn't seem so; if it were because of Yun chu, they would have no ability to resist, yet Yun chu has now grown up.

What reason could make them set up such a big game over there?

Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows, "We can't guess a wicked person's thoughts; rather..."

Her gaze turned cold, her fists clenched tightly, and her whole aura carried a hint of sharpness.

Ning Chengyan grabbed her hand, loosened her grip, then made her clutch his hand.

Fearful that she might hurt herself when angry.

"No matter what their goal is, this situation is what they want; the person behind should also come out." The Ning Emperor's brows were gloomy; their Da Ning is coveted by others, how can this ruler sleep peacefully?

The five people in the room glanced at each other, then settled on the subsequent plan.

"Even if it's not you, Ying Ying was captured because of you; can you forgive her? Let's talk after Ying Ying returns." The Ning Emperor looked at Jiang Zeyang and let out a light sigh.

Jiang Zeyang nodded, "Naturally."

"Yun chu's wood core requires the heart's blood of parents to activate."

"Jiang Zeyang, as a father, you are unqualified."

Jiang Wen Fu gave a cold snort; Jiang Yun Chu turned away, her shoulders trembled a few times, then turned back as if nothing happened, her face still as cold as frost.

She usually doesn't laugh, unless she can't help it.

I never expected that my second uncle would be so proud and aloof.

I always thought he was a detached uncle, unconcerned with worldly affairs, guarding the north alone for over twenty years, but...

It seems not quite what I imagined?

"You're laughing too loudly..." The Ning Emperor mercilessly exposed her.

Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows, then tapped Ning Chengyan's arm, "Your older brother is talking about you."

"Yes, it's my younger brother's fault; my younger brother will laugh more softly next time." Ning Chengyan's expression unchanged, he bowed directly, without any resentment.

The Ning Emperor looked at Jiang Yun Chu, "I suddenly feel some regret; my imperial brother given to you seems wronged."

Seeing Ning Chengyan like that, the Princess Consort would say east and dare not say west.

That is a wife slave.

How did someone who used to be cold and aloof become like this?

"How could that be? You're not allowed to speak like that about my family's prince." Jiang Yun Chu raised her eyebrows; for a moment, the originally solemn hall seemed to carry a hint of laughter.

Five days later...

"Your Majesty has passed away——"

In an instant, the entire imperial palace trembled.

Everyone with ulterior motives began to move.

Fang Zi Lun guarded the Imperial Study; he seemed emotionless, with a wooden face, yet anyone who tried to approach was stopped by him.

Ning Chengyan brought Jiang Yun Chu to enter the palace, but was stopped by the palace gate guards; even producing the imperial token was useless now.

"Are you trying to rebel?" Ning Chengyan narrowed his eyes at the gate guards.

"Please calm your anger, Prince; we subordinates are merely following orders."

The gate guard showed no sorrow on his face, but rather a hint of smugness.

"Obey orders? Your Majesty has passed away, you dog servant, whose orders are you listening to?" Ning Chengyan drew his gentleman's sword and placed it on that person's shoulder.

"My command!" At that moment, a person clad in a bright yellow dragon robe walked out from inside.

His robe was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, and he wore an imperial crown on his head.

As he stepped out, he adjusted his sleeves; upon seeing Jiang Yun Chu, his eyes narrowed further.

"Originally I wanted to marry Jiang Yun Hui; since the Jiang family doesn't know gratitude, let Jiang Yun Hui become a palace maid when the selected ladies enter the palace."

The Third Prince stood there, looking down on everything before him with contempt.

These people were all his former opponents; when he ascended the throne, the first batch he purged were they.

Especially this imperial uncle!

"Is a girl from my Jiang family worthy of you? Who gave you the face?" Jiang Yun Chu gave a cold smile, her eyes full of disdain.

Contempt?

To her, that not-yet-fully-grown Third Prince is nothing but a fart.

If it weren't for that evil Daoist, they wouldn't have set up such a scheme.

Let his dream come true for a moment, but making this dream come true does come at a cost.

"Seeing Me, why aren't you kneeling quickly?" The Third Prince looked at the people before him, his eyes sinister.

Jiang Yun Chu looked at the strong chuuni aura, blinking his eyes repeatedly, yet still didn't react.

Previously, he was described as the ruthless and cruel Third Prince.

Now it seems, it's not that thorough.

As they were blocking the palace gate, Jiang Zeyang and Jiang Wen Fu had already lain in ambush beside Emperor Ning.

The entire hall was a sheet of plain white.

Eunuch Xi was crying there.

The entire inner palace was controlled by Consort Cao; no concubine could come to see His Majesty's last face.

"Speak, where is the former emperor's abdication edict?"

Consort Cao looked at Eunuch Xi; these days, his people have been guarding outside, with no one coming in or out; the only person who could possibly obtain the former emperor's Imperial Edict is this servant before us.

The former emperor is dead; he is merely a servant.

"Replying to Consort Cao, His Majesty never gave the servant an abdication edict." Eunuch Xi lowered his head, his face showing respect, but his hand had already clenched.

Consort Cao burst into laughter, saying, "Little Xi, when the former emperor was emperor, you were the Chief Eunuch of the Inner Palace; now that the present emperor is emperor, you are still the Chief Eunuch of the Inner Palace."

"How?"

To dispose of a person, as long as the son ascends the throne, it will be just and proper, without attracting blame.

In the future, wanting to kill someone won't be as easy as catching something at hand.
