The queen suppressed the murderous intention in her heart and said with a gloomy face, "Your Majesty, this concubine has neglected her duty. Su Muyao dared to drug the prince. According to the law, he should be beaten to death with a stick!"
The words "beat to death with a stick" hit Su Muyao's heart like a heavy hammer.
There was a roar in her mind, and she looked at Mo Xiaoya with tears in her eyes.
Mo Xiaoya met her pleading gaze and looked away unconsciously.
Seeing this, Su Muyao's eyes were filled with despair, and she pinched the ground tightly with her fingers.
Her tender fingertips were bruised by the rough ground, but she didn't care at all.
Even though she had exhausted all her powers, she was still extremely insignificant in front of the imperial power.
A single word from the Queen can determine her life or death.
She is unwilling to give in, really unwilling to give in!
Su Ruotang's eyes widened.
No, Su Muyao can't die so easily.
She's so cheap!
After appraising the state of the body, she coughed and swallowed a pill.
When he raised his eyes again, his pupils turned dark, like an endless black hole in the universe, looking towards Mo Xiaoya.
Mo Xiaoya happened to look up at her.
When he met her dark eyes, his whole body froze.
Then, his eyes became blank.
Liu Wanyue also didn't expect the queen to be so cruel.
Su Muyao was the prime minister's daughter after all. In order not to affect Mo Xiaoya's marriage, she wanted to beat Su Muyao to death with a stick.
Just when he was about to speak, Mo Xiaoya suddenly knelt down and said, "Father, Emperor, Mother, I am willing to marry Miss Su."
When Su Muyao heard this, she looked at Mo Xiaoya in disbelief.
Hope gradually appeared in his eyes.
He didn't give up on her?
The queen stared at Mo Xiaoya in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Mo Xiaoya lowered his head and said word by word: "I have admired Miss Su for a long time and would like to marry her."
The queen's body swayed suddenly, and her face turned pale and pale.
Deep disappointment spread in his eyes.
"Can you say that again!"
Mo Xiaoya repeated mechanically: "I would like to marry Miss Su as my wife."
The queen's eyes darkened, she staggered, and looked into Su Muyao's eyes with undisguised murderous intent.
A chill suddenly rose up in Su Muyao's tailbone. She didn't dare to look at the queen, and knelt down and begged: "Your Majesty, empress, I know my mistake. I wish that the ancient Buddha of the Green Lantern will accompany you for the rest of your life."
It has always been her dream to become the fifth prince's concubine.
But she could feel that the queen never wanted to see her.
After such a thing happened, if Emperor Wu Shun didn't say anything, she would never be able to leave Jiaofang Palace alive.
Only by retreating can she have a chance to survive.
What she was betting on was that Concubine Wan would not let the Queen enjoy herself.
Liu Wanyue glanced at her lightly, tugged on Emperor Wu Shun's sleeve, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Miss Su is the daughter of an important minister after all. Now that something like this has happened, everyone can't stop it."
"Since the fifth prince truly loves Miss Su, why not let them fulfill her wish."
Emperor Wu Shun looked at her, with a hint of softness in his cold voice, "Wan'er thinks, what should we do?"
"I feel that Su Muyao's status as a prince and concubine is not enough."
At this point, she paused and looked at the queen, "What do you think, sister?"
The queen seemed to have aged several years in an instant, with a tired look on her face as she said, "Your majesty is the one who makes the final decision regarding this concubine."
Emperor Wu Shun glanced at Mo Xiaoya, pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "In that case, Su Muyao will be given the title of fifth concubine."
When Su Muyao heard this, her vision went dark and she fell softly to the ground.
There is a word difference between concubine and main concubine, but they are the difference between concubine and wife.
Unless Emperor Wu Shun dies, after Mo Xiaoya ascends the throne, he will bear the pressure from the courtiers and make her the queen.
Otherwise, she will only be a concubine for the rest of her life, a concubine who is inferior to others!
But, would Mo Xiaoya do this for her?
After hearing Emperor Wu Shun's words, Su Ruotang closed his eyes, swayed slightly, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The usually bright peach blossom eyes also dimmed a bit.
At the same time, Mo Xiaoya, who was kneeling, swayed slightly, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.
He turned around and looked at Su Muyao in shock.
When he met her sad eyes, he swallowed his confusion.
After all, she is the woman he likes. Marrying her as his concubine is just a way of thanking her for her help over the years.
But what happened to him just now?
Why would you say that?
Mo Rongyan's clear eyebrows frowned slightly when he saw Su Ruotang's pale face.
The next second, his clear and indifferent voice said, "Father, the Qintian Supervisor has calculated that next month will be a good day. Miss Su and Tang'er are sisters."
When he spoke, Su Muyao and Mo Xiaoya felt uneasy in their hearts.
As expected, Mo Ronyan's next words made the two of them look extremely ugly.
Even the queen wanted to shut his mouth.
"Why not, fifth brother's wedding should also be scheduled on that day."
The man's voice is clear and moist, and extremely pleasant to the ear.
But hearing it in the ears of the three queens made their faces turn red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
Su Ruotang was slightly startled, then raised his eyes and glanced at Mo Rongyan.
He secretly decided that from now on he would rather offend a villain than a man who is worse than a dog.
The wedding between her and the dog man was of the highest standard.
Even though she was well-informed in her previous life, she was stunned for a long time when she saw the dowry prepared by Tan Mansion for her.
Even if she squanders it every day, she probably won't be able to spend it all in her next life.
And the dog man spent a million taels of gold to buy the best mutton-fat white jade without blinking an eye. The wealth behind him can be seen to be extraordinary.
If the two hold weddings at the same time, Mo Xiaoya will definitely be crushed miserably.
This wedding will become the nightmare he least wants to face in his life.
At the same time, she might not want to see Su Muyao.
Shrimp and pork heart, so delicious!
The queen's face was livid, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the third prince will marry the main concubine, and the fifth prince will marry the concubine. If it happens on the same day, I will worry about offending the third prince."
Before Emperor Wu Shun could speak, Liu Wanyue said with a smile, "Sister, there has been no happy event in the palace for a long time, so let's take advantage of the excitement."
When the queen heard this, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her son was quite lively.
His Majesty will definitely come to the Fifth Prince's Mansion, and the courtiers will naturally go to congratulate him.
But what about her son? According to the etiquette of marrying a concubine, there are no three laws and six etiquette. You can only enter through the side door.
No one will go to congratulate you.
Su Muyao stared at Su Ruotang, her fingers bruised by the ground.
But she felt no pain at all.
Emperor Wu Shun looked at Mo Xiaoya coldly and looked at the many palace people, "You have never seen the fifth prince and Miss Su today."
"Yes, slave\/slave, I obey."
"Let the Rites Department make preparations. After all, Su Aiqing is also the Prime Minister of the dynasty. Marrying two daughters on the same day is considered a happy event. We will also prepare a betrothal gift for Miss Su. The specifications are up to them."
After Emperor Wu Shun finished speaking, the hope in Su Muyao's heart completely dissipated.
His eyes were filled with madness and unwillingness.
Why could she, Su Ruotang, an ugly girl, be liked by Concubine Wan and the third prince?
Obviously her talent and appearance far surpass her!
She is unwilling!
Biting her lip, Su Muyao lowered her eyes and looked at her bloody fingers.
After a while, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and the look in her eyes became strange.
Su Ruotang, let's wait and see.
Su Ruotang glanced at Su Muyao and Mo Xiaoya, his clear pupils filled with ice.
Letting Su Muyao become a concubine today is just a little interest for the original owner.
She will pick them up bit by bit and let them taste the feeling of falling from the clouds.
"Ahem..." Unable to suppress the sweetness rising in her throat, Su Ruotang covered her lips and kept coughing. Before she lost consciousness, she saw Mo Ronyan's always calm and calm face, covered with a hint of worry. .
Is he worried about himself?
...
There are no secrets in the palace, but only half a cup of tea. The news that Miss Su has given the fifth prince a concubine and will marry Miss Su on the same day next month has spread throughout the capital.
"Getting married on the same day? I'll go, there will be a good show then."
"My cousin's sister-in-law's niece's brother's cousin works in the palace. He heard from His Majesty himself that the specifications of the betrothal gift are at the discretion of the Ministry of Ceremonies."
"The concubine is just a concubine, but there has never been a bride price for a concubine."
"Hey, the Minister of Rites will probably have to lose his hair."
"My younger sister, Sanshu, is going to be the concubine. My elder sister doesn't even know the specifications of the betrothal gift. I bet with ten copper coins that on the day we two get married, the third prince's mansion is bustling with people, while the fifth prince's mansion is deserted."
"Tch, who will bet with you? This is something that is not obvious, but I am more curious about how different the specifications of the betrothal gifts of Miss Su and Miss Su will be."
"Hey, there is also a dowry. Miss Su's mother is just a maid. Now that she has become a concubine, will the Su family prepare a dowry for her?"
"I guess Xuan, when Prime Minister Su left the palace just now, his face was very ugly."
"Speaking of dowry, when Miss Su Er's mother married the Prime Minister, it was really a huge amount of money. But this time, it is said that the dowry prepared by Tan Mansion for Miss Su Er is far superior to that of her mother back then."
"Tsk, tsk, I don't know who is richer compared to the big guy who spent millions of taels of gold."
In the streets and alleys, in restaurants and inns, you can hear people talking everywhere.
Su Mansion.
"Prime Minister, please think of a way, Yao'er can't be a concubine!" Mrs. Zhang stood in front of the mansion, saw Su Qi's carriage, and immediately came over crying.
Su Qi got off the carriage and said coldly: "Aren't you embarrassed enough?"
Zhang was startled by the chill in his tone and looked at him blankly.
Su Qi stood in front of the mansion, with his back to Zhang, and coldly ordered Lin Mu, "Send the eldest lady back to her room. If she dares to step out of the room before the wedding, I will break her legs!"
Lin Mu responded respectfully and directed the maid to help Su Muyao get out of the carriage.
When Mrs. Zhang saw Su Muyao's appearance, her head went blank with a bang.
Her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
"Yao'er, you, you..."
This morning she went to Yao'er to get Su Ruotang's mother's dowry, but found that Yao'er was not in the room, thinking she had gone out for something.
Unexpectedly, before half a cup of tea, news came from the palace that Yaoer was given to the fifth prince as a concubine.
She couldn't find Yao'er anywhere, so she waited for Su Qi at the door.
Su Muyao lowered her head and walked towards the house with the support of the maid. She choked and said, "Mother, Su Ruotang harmed me."
As a person who has been here before, Zhang knew what was going on when he saw her look like this.
"You...are the fifth prince?"
Su Muyao nodded with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath and glanced coldly at the maids and servants around her, "What did you just see?"
"Back to Madam, we saw the master returning home." Lin Mu's eyes were full of contempt, but his face was respectful as he spoke.
Mrs. Zhang took a deep look at him and directed the maid to send Su Muyao back to the room.
As soon as she returned to the room, Su Muyao was so angry that she smashed the porcelain in the room.
Mrs. Zhang stepped into the house and said coldly: "Are you thinking you have too much money?"
Su Muyao held up the vase in her hand, her chest heaving violently with anger.
After a while, she put the vase down with force and said with a ferocious expression, "Mom, I want that little bitch Su Ruotang to die!"
Mrs. Zhang closed the door and looked at her distressedly, "Yao'er, why did you suddenly enter the palace?"
Su Muyao bit her lip: "I don't know either. I was clearly counting Su Ruotang's mother's things. When I opened my eyes again, I was in the Queen's Palace."
"What?" Mrs. Zhang was surprised.
Su Muyao's bloody fingers pinched into the palm of her hand, her eyes full of viciousness, "It must be Su Ruotang!"
Looking at the marks on her neck, Mrs. Zhang felt that the sky was almost falling.
Her Yao'er is going to marry the fifth prince and become the concubine. In the future, she will become the crown princess and the noble queen.
But now, she has become a concubine like a concubine...
"Mom, you can't return those things to Su Ruotang!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly and said: "Yao'er, Su Ruotang now has the support of Concubine Wan and the third prince, so she has to pay it back."
"What about me? I'm going to get married on the same day as Su Ruotang next month. Do you think I won't even have a dowry?" Su Muyao suddenly swept the vase in front of her to the ground and shouted uncontrollably.
