The waning moon hangs in the sky, just like this dilapidated palace, lonely and deserted.
Cui Yuejiao was sitting at the door of Leng Palace. She was still wearing the same brocade clothes she had during the day. Her hair was messy and her gold hairpin was crooked. This outfit was all the savings she brought to Leng Palace.
Her expression was numb and her eyes were empty as she stared at the grass in the courtyard.
It's over, everything is over.
The Cui family is gone, all the wealth and wealth has disappeared, and what awaits her next will be the fate of being trapped in this cold and dilapidated palace.
She is in the cold palace, what should her Mingyu do?
"Mother."
"..." Song Yuan?
Cui Jiaoniang raised her head in a daze and saw the upright figure standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Looking at Song Yuan at this time, Cui Jiaoniang felt as if she had been in another world. She seemed to have never seriously looked at the daughter she used as a tool to fight for favor.
Looking at it now, Song Yuan's eyebrows were as sharp as daggers, and her facial features were not as soft as those of ordinary women. Probably because she had not smiled all year round, she was also taller than ordinary women. No wonder no one had ever doubted the gender of the prince in so many years.
"Mother." Song Yuan stepped on the withered grass and walked into the cold palace, "Has the mother already given up? You don't think the matter ends here, do you?"
The little guilt I finally felt towards my eldest daughter disappeared instantly when I heard the other party's malicious tone.
Cui Yingying jumped up suddenly, picked up the rocks on the ground and threw them at Song Yuan, opening her mouth and roaring silently.
Bitch, how dare you come! How am I sorry for you, why do you want to treat me like this? ! Your position as prince was given to you by me!
"Seeing that my mother is so energetic, I feel relieved, otherwise I would not be able to receive the great gift that I will receive."
Turning her head to avoid the stone thrown by Cui Jiaoniang, Song Yuan's eyes turned cold. She took a step aside, and Thirteen came out carrying a tray covered with white cloth.
Something was vaguely moving under the white cloth. This was something Cui Jiaoniang was most familiar with.
In the same way back then, she asked her servants to carry a jade dish full of poisonous insects on a tray, and then covered it with a layer of white cloth.
No! you can not do that! I am your mother, I am your biological mother, you can't do this to me! Song Yuan, you will be punished!
The woman backed away continuously, eyes full of fear, and tripped over the steps behind her. She climbed into the dilapidated hall with her hands together, as if she could avoid what happened next.
Song Yuan did not chase the woman who fled into the palace, because soon Shadow Guard Fifteen dragged Cui Jiaoniang out like a dead dog.
Cui Jiaoniang was held down by the shadow guard's shoulders and knelt at Song Yuan's feet.
At the same time, Thirteen opened the white cloth on the tray, revealing the poisonous insects of different colors in the jade dish.
Song Yuan randomly picked out a small worm and placed it on Cui Jiaoniang's face. As soon as the worm touched her flesh, it tore open a hole and got in.
"Don't be afraid, Queen Mother. But you, Grandma Fengchun, were much gentler back then. She threw you into the voodoo without even cutting open your flesh."
"...Ah...wuwu...uh..."
Tears fell down Cui Jiaoniang's face, mixed with blood, and she looked a bit fragile and pitiful. If the old emperor were here, he might still recall the bad past.
It's a pity that Song Yuan is not a compassionate person. Her slender fingers forcefully ran through Cui Jiaoniang's wound left by the poisonous insect.
"It turns out that when my mother is scared, she is no different from others. She is trembling, crying, and despairing. Why are they all these boring and cheap things?"
"That's all, I still can't compare to my mother's ability to torture people back then." He sighed softly, with a hint of tenderness in his tone that couldn't be ignored.
Cui Jiaoniang's heart moved and she shed more tears.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yuanyuan, it's all the queen's fault. What did she do?
"I'll give you a break." Song Yuan picked up the jade dish, pinched the woman's mouth, and fed the entire pot of Gu worms into Cui Jiaoniang's mouth.
This time, Cui Jiaoniang didn't struggle and even opened her mouth in cooperation.
After all the poisonous insects in the jade dish entered Cui Jiaoniang's mouth, Song Yuan let go and threw away the jade dish and looked at Cui Jiaoniang who fell on the ground coldly.
"The Queen still has such an expression on her face, it's really disgusting."
"...Ahh..."
Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I was wrong, it's all my fault for turning you into this.
The woman reached out to grab Song Yuan's clothes, but Song Yuan avoided her in disgust.
"……ah--"
Yuanyuan...
"Who are you doing this for, Queen Mother?" Song Yuan flicked his sleeves, wanting to eat a fly and feeling sick in his heart, he turned around and left.
"...Ahhhh——"
Yuanyuan, I was wrong, don't leave!
Maybe the person who is about to die has a good heart.
Cui Jiaoniang stretched out her hand to grab Song Yuan's disappearing back.
In the end, it's all about fishing for the moon in the water, and it's all in vain.
As soon as he stepped out of the cold palace, Song Yuan covered his mouth and started coughing.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Thirteen helped Song Yuan.
"...I'm fine." Song Yuan glanced down at the blood on his palms and clenched his fists, "The Cui family has fallen. The old emperor asked Liu Xiansheng to speed up."
As long as the old thing doesn't die, Song Beichen will be at a loss, and her patience is limited.
"My subordinates will do it now."
Prince Rui's Mansion.
Bailixin was sitting on a stone bench in a light purple flowing fairy dress. Looking at the fifth prince holding his arms and crying across from him, she couldn't help but doubt the meaning of her new life.
Before she could do anything, the Cui family was gone, and the one she loved fell into the dust.
She already had a physical relationship with Song Mingyu in this life, but after Song Mingyu was gone, she might as well have been the prince concubine that Song Beichen Ming was marrying in the previous life.
In fact, she didn't have much interaction with Song Mingyu in her previous life. The reason why she chose Song Mingyu in her new life was just because he helped her when she was in trouble in her previous life.
The Cui family is gone, and Song Mingyu is a hot potato. There is no way she will pick it up.
The woman looked at the person opposite and slowly turned cold: "Fifth Prince, it's getting late. My father will be back soon. You should leave quickly."
"Xin'er, can I not leave tonight?" Song Mingyu raised her head, her eyes red and swollen from crying, "The Cui family is gone, my mother has been relegated to the cold palace, and I have nowhere to go."
"Mingyu, if you stay here and your father finds out, he will definitely arrest you. Obediently, you leave first. Then I will ask Qingzhu to arrange a yard for you in the Imperial Capital."
"This..." Song Mingyu hesitated a little. He didn't want to hurt the person he liked, "Well, thank you for your hard work, Xin'er. I will definitely live up to you in this life!"
"Well, I believe you." Bailixin looked distressed and moved.
Don't let her down? Song Beichen said the same thing in his previous life. What was the result? It's just a cheap oath from a man.
After Song Mingyu left, Qingzhu walked behind Bailixin. She rubbed Bailixin's shoulders and comforted Bailixin: "Miss, don't worry about the fifth prince. The fifth prince has his own destiny, and he also has a personality." Brother Prince, he will be fine."
Brother Prince? Haven't you heard that it was this good brother who brought down the Cui family and the queen?
Squeezing the newly embroidered mandarin duck handkerchief in her hand, Bailixin said coldly: "Go call some thugs, I want Song Mingyu to die."
She had not been dating Song Mingyu for a long time. As long as Song Mingyu died, no one would know about her relationship with Song Mingyu.
And Qingzhu was a maid who grew up with her. She was sentenced to death by Song Beichen to save her in her previous life, so she would definitely not betray her.
Qingzhu's shoulder-squeezing hand stiffened for a moment, then he let go calmly: "Okay, miss, I'll go right away."
