Chapter 344 - Banquet Killing intent (1)

The palace maid was killed by Chunyu Hong with a single word. In that moment, the atmosphere froze.

Chunyu Hong's sudden words caused everyone to turn their attention to him.

Imperial Consort Yu turned to look at her, not daring to imagine what Chunyu Hong's intentions were. On the surface, it looked as if he was trying to reconcile the conflict between the two of them, but Imperial Consort Yu could feel the profound meaning behind her actions.

He was protecting Jin Yulie.

His subconscious was warning everyone that sometimes he would pay any price to protect Jin Yulie's life. However, there was another meaning to this.

This was because Chunyu Hong's attitude towards Jin Yulie was also somewhat ambiguous.

Queen had never spoken a word the entire time, but at this moment, she suddenly laughed softly and said: "State Duke of Jin has always been strict. This kind of joke isn't interesting at all."

Queen suddenly stood up and walked to Imperial Consort Yu. She laughed: "How could Imperial Consort Yu give State Duke of Jin the poison wine? What do you think?"

Imperial Consort Yu did not understand the deep meaning behind Queen's words. She only looked at the eyes that she handed to her, and nodded with a hint of hesitation, "Queen is right, State Duke of Jin is overreacting."

"Is that so?" Jin Yulie suddenly laughed, "So this is not a poison but a nectar. This king does not have such good fortune."

Imperial Consort Yu's face changed, before the opportunity arrived, she had to suppress the thought of rushing over. She replied, "Yes."

And just at that moment, an unremarkable little palace maid appeared in the middle of the banquet. Her appearance did not attract any other people's attention, but Imperial Consort Yu was one of them!

Originally, she used a forced smile to stall for time, but when she saw this little palace maid nod towards her in an unnoticeable manner, the smile on Imperial Consort Yu's face relaxed slightly.

She used that kind of condescending and compassionate gaze to sweep across the faces of everyone present, and then stopped at Jin Yulie's face. She had an unusual smile on his face, but she walked to Chunyu Hong with the most elegant posture, and bowed slightly in front of him.

Her figure was romantic and beautiful. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected off her face, giving it a warm orange light that gently covered up the malevolence in her eyes.

She kowtowed to Chunyu Hong and bent down. When she lowered her head, a tear fell on her skirt and broke it.

Everyone was silent, watching her sudden movements.

She said, "Your Majesty, my son is gone. Hao Er is dead. " Her eyes were filled with grief, but the words she spoke were extremely calm.

Chunyu Hong looked at her steadily, "I know." It was the first time in months that he had admitted it. This was also the first time he said it in front of Imperial Consort Yu that not only did he know that Chunyu Hao had died, he also knew how he died and who killed him.

"He is my child, but he is also your blood and bone."

"I will bury myself in his grave." He calmly said, as if the person who died had nothing to do with him, only his slightly trembling hands revealed his current mood. In the end, a tiger wouldn't devour its prey. Naturally, he would not reveal his pain.

"Why?" Imperial Consort Yu was controlled by all the sad emotions. She could not accept Chunyu Hong's calmness. Your son, you're so patient? " Her voice was hoarse as she gradually began to lose her voice.

Everything that she had secretly planned began to move. It was just that, after all, she and he had been husband and wife for many years. She had married him when he was still young.

If, today, Chunyu Hong did not speak up for Jin Yulie, then Imperial Consort Yu's anger would not be so strong. However, things did not turn out as she wished. This little bit of disappointment finally gathered into a torrent of despair.

Finally, the Imperial Consort Yu no longer had any expectations for anyone.

She stood up with a smile and looked at Chunyu Hong with a cold smile.

She shook her head. Suddenly, she took off all the pearls and pearls from her head and threw them on the ground. Her smile was one of despair.

Chunyu Feng was not far away from him, and when he saw Imperial Consort Yu's expression, in that instant the gap between him and Imperial Consort Yu wasn't right, when he looked at his mother, he also caught a flash of doubt on Queen's face.
