On our wedding night, he personally sent me to the Regent's bed

Chapter 202 The Emperor Will Take Action Against Ding Ruolian Tomorrow

I must quickly tell Prince Yu that Mu Wanyan is the Phoenix Girl, and ask him to be on guard against the old toad Pei Lingsong.

Pei Lingsong naturally saw the surprise of the few people. He thought, what's wrong with ordinary people's desire for health? Since ancient times, which emperor didn't want to live forever?

After being sentenced to death by the imperial physician, people often choose to believe in metaphysics, and Pei Lingsong is no exception.

Therefore, he regarded his abnormal desire for Mu Wanyan as a manifestation of cherishing life and being positive.

Doctor Zhang looked embarrassed, but in order not to disappoint Pei Lingsong, he still spoke to comfort him: "After your majesty recovers, you can arrange for the ladies to sleep with you, as long as the frequency is controlled."

Pei Lingsong smiled knowingly, full of longing for some unattainable moment.

-

After everything was arranged, Su Deping hurried to the Prince's Eastern Palace.

After sending everyone away, Su Deping knelt down in front of Pei Yuxiao and told him everything about how Mu Wanyan was the Phoenix Girl and how Pei Lingsong wanted to get her.

Su Deping: "Your Majesty still has some time to live, and the inner hall is still stored with various elixirs and tonic wines."

"Given His Majesty's temperament, as long as his health improves a little, he will definitely find ways to favor the Wind Girl. Then--"

"There will never be such a day!" Pei Yuxiao interrupted Su Deping sternly, fearing that the next words would pollute his ears.

What followed was a long silence.

His deep eyes were lowered, hiding all his emotions under his long and dense eyelashes. His passionate and handsome phoenix eyes were now tainted with a hint of murderous intent.

"Why does he want to destroy every woman this king cherishes?"

"My mother is like this, my sister is like this, and now he wants to touch the girl in my heart?"

Su Deping: "Ms. Wanyan is undoubtedly the Phoenix Girl. Whoever gets the Phoenix Girl will get the world. Prince, do you need to..." Take action first?

He hesitated to speak, giving Pei Yuxiao enough hints.

Pei Yuxiao: "How can a man's career success be achieved by relying on a woman? How could this king believe that nonsense?"

As he spoke, Pei Yuxiao's heart was bleeding. In fact, he was much more superstitious than Pei Lingsong.

If Mu Wanyan didn't have someone in her heart, if the person she belonged to wasn't Di Xiuyan - Pei Yuxiao would definitely snatch her away in a minute, and then practice dual cultivation with her, endlessly.

After a while, he continued, "My mother was wrongly killed, and my sister died in a foreign land. Now I only have Yanyan, and I will protect her."

Su Deping: "Your Majesty is righteous, but if Your Majesty treats Miss Wanyan..."

"If my father does something inappropriate to Mu Wanyan, I don't mind ascending the throne early."

Pei Yuxiao continued: "When the time comes, I will put him under house arrest, just as he treated me before."

Su Deping's eyes flickered, and he knelt down and kowtowed, "This old slave is willing to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at his utmost. If there is any disturbance in the Yangxin Palace, this old slave will report it to His Royal Highness immediately."

-

After leaving the East Palace, Su Deping knew that he could not place all his bets on one place, so the cunning old man hurried to Prince Chen's Mansion.

After explaining his purpose, Pei Mochen gave him a seat and rewarded Su Deping with several ingots of shining gold.

Su Deping: "Now that Ding Ruoqiu has been sentenced to death by slicing, and Miss Ruolian is her biological sister, Your Majesty will never let her go no matter what."

"The Emperor has secretly issued an order to take action against Miss Ruo Lian tomorrow."

He flattered Pei Mochen, "I risked my life to come here to tell you because I was worried that something bad would happen to Miss Ruo Lian and that the prince would be sad and upset."

"I am loyal to the prince. If the prince wants to protect Miss Ruolian, he should start preparing now."

Pei Mochen stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Eunuch Su. I will arrange for a death row prisoner to enter the dark cell tomorrow, and he will take the Lingchi punishment for Ruo Lian."

He then said, "Father is not feeling well. What did Doctor Zhang say? How long can he... hold on?"

Su Deping lowered his voice and said, "I dare not deceive Your Highness. The Emperor probably won't have much time left, maybe one or two years at most."

Pei Mochen nodded, his emotions did not fluctuate much, he only cared: "Has the imperial edict for summons been drafted?"

Su Deping: "It's Prince Yu Wang!"

Pei Mochen smiled coldly, "Oh, in the end, father still only favors my brother and thinks that only Pei Yuxiao can inherit the Dafeng Kingdom."

He looked down at Su Deping and asked, "Eunuch Su, who do you think the world will belong to in the future?"

Su Deping fell to his knees with a plop. "I dare not make any rash comments. But for any matter, nothing can be seen until the last moment."

Seeing that the Third Prince was still dissatisfied, he added: "I value the talent of Prince Chen and am willing to serve Your Highness. If there is any disturbance in the Yangxin Palace, I will report it to you in time."

-

The next day, noon.

The executioner followed the order carefully, and did not dare to deliver the fatal blow to Ding Ruoqiu's heart until after noon.

At this point, Ding Ruoqiu finally died in endless torture and regret. Before her death, all she missed were the good days she and Senior Sister Mu had in Xichang.

Pei Mochen also sent the already arranged death row prisoners to the secret prison, using the method of replacing one with another to cover up the truth.

Ding Ruolian, who was feeling complacent in Prince Chen's Mansion, had no idea that she had just had a brush with death.

Pei Mochen accompanied her for lunch in the Shuiyan Pavilion and did not mention a word about Ding Ruoqiu being tortured to death.

Because of his childhood affection for Lolo, he couldn't bear to scare her.

At the same time, Mu Wanyan noticed that the lunch at Jianjia Pavilion was very different today.

Not only were the usual fish and meat nowhere to be seen, but even vegetables were scarce.

There are a few pieces of tofu floating in the clear bean sprout soup, a few scattered shrimps, and a few steamed buns, that's all.

Even Xiangqin couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the maid:

"You are so arrogant. How many delicacies can you buy with the reward money the princess gave you in the past?"

"Now that a big showman has come to the Water Hookah Pavilion, you dare to use some leftovers to fool us?"

Pushing the food heavily in front of the maid, Xiang Qin said, "Replace it with some new ones."

"My princess has never suffered such a crime since she was born."

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly said aggrievedly: "Miss Xiangqin, you don't know that we didn't cut the money on purpose. It was Miss Ruolian who suggested to the prince yesterday that we should control the expenses of the mansion in order to increase income and reduce expenditure."

Mu Wanyan rubbed her brows and joined the conversation. "What did the prince say? Did he agree?"

The maid looked embarrassed and replied, "I agree. The prince said that everything should be done according to Miss Ruolian's wishes."

"Bah, you ignorant foxy girl. You have only been in the palace for a few days, and you want to compete with the master for the management rights of the backyard?"

"Don't you want to see if she has the ability?"

"The methods used by the brothels and the theaters are so despicable that only people with low tastes can appreciate her."

Xiang Qin cursed in the direction of the hookah pavilion, implicitly implying Pei Mochen as well.

Mu Wanyan didn't care about the food. August 15th was approaching and her "death date" was approaching, so she had no intention of eating.

"If I leave, I don't know what kind of torture Pei Mochen will cause the little maids."

"I must settle all the girls before leaving Dafeng."

She couldn't eat anymore, so she took out the string of red musk beads that Concubine Xiao had given her when she first entered the palace, and walked towards the Water Pipe Pavilion with Xiangqin.

Pei Mochen should still be in the Shuiyan Pavilion at this time, so it would be a good time for them to go there.
