606 The Infuriating Brother Jiu, Meeting Asura Again
Ever since the Emperor issued the decree to depose the Queen, he had stopped court for several days in a row. Some people guessed that there was no room for negotiation. Others said that the Little Princess was the only beloved daughter that the Emperor recognized. He punished her just to teach her a lesson. When she reflected, the Emperor’s anger would also subside. He would still bring her back to the position of the successor.
Everyone was talking, but what did this have to do with Yu Wan and the others?
The Prince Consort was originally a criminal. Thanks to Nangong Li, the Emperor was so angry that he hid from the world, so naturally, no one interrogated him.
Before the Emperor left, he did not tell them how to deal with the Prince Consort. He did not say that Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan could take the Prince Consort away, but he did not say that they could not.
Yu Wan took advantage of the Emperor’s loophole and packed up the Prince Consort’s things with Zi Su and Fu Ling on the third day.
What was worth mentioning was that most of the Prince Consort’s things were in the courtyard where the Queen originally lived. Today was the deadline for the Queen to move out of the manor, so they were also packing up.
Nangong Yan sat on the chair in a daze, letting the servants pace around in front of her.
A female envoy accidentally dropped a cup of tea and the tea spilled on her feet. The female envoy knelt down. “Your Highness, please spare my life! Your Highness, please spare my life!”
Nangong Yan did not react. Ever since she was deposed, she had been like this. It was as if her soul had been taken away, leaving only a walking corpse.
Yu Wan passed by the door and inadvertently saw this scene. She thought to herself, If you had known earlier, why did you do it in the first place? At first glance, you look a little pitiful, but who am you putting on such a pitiful appearance for?
Yes, she wasn’t the one who poisoned them. But was she very innocent?
Back then, when she broke the relationship between Prince Yan and Shangguan Yan, had she thought about how desperate a wife who had lost her husband and a child who was only eight years old would be?
She did not poison the children, but she had really poisoned Yan Jiuchao.
Yu Wan did not think that she was innocent, not at all. To put it bluntly, she had only been deposed of the position of Queen. She had not been demoted to a commoner and had not been abandoned by her family.
Thinking about the Eldest Princess, who had been sent out of Nanzhao as a jinx when she was still an infant, what was this setback of hers? She probably felt so aggrieved when there were more people who doted on her.
According to Yu Wan, the person who was really wronged should be the Eldest Princess, who was abandoned at birth. She had never enjoyed the Princess’s blessings for a day, but in order to obtain the holy artifact in Nanzhao, she was sold to the Ghost Clan.
“Who is it?” A female envoy’s voice interrupted Yu Wan’s thoughts.
It turned out that Zi Su was packing her things in the Prince Consort’s study when the female envoy passing by bumped into her.
The female envoy looked at her unfamiliar face and reprimanded her sternly, “Where did this servant come from? Is the Prince Consort’s study a place you can enter casually?”
Zi Su had followed Yu Wan for so long and had long developed iron guts. She was not afraid of being reprimanded by the female envoy of the Queen Manor. She straightened her back and said, “I came in on the Prince Consort’s orders to pack his things. Who do you think you are? Hurry up and move aside!”
When the female envoy saw that Zi Su was thin and weak and spoke so arrogantly, she immediately raised her hand, wanting to teach Zi Su a lesson. However, before she could touch Zi Su’s hair, Fu Ling grabbed her with both hands and threw her onto a tree branch outside.
By the time Yu Wan rushed to the study, the female envoy had already called for the guards in the manor. The Little Commandery Princess was also here because of the commotion. She looked at Zi Su and Fu Ling, then at Yu Wan. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, you actually let your maidservant bully the Queen Manor!”
Yu Wan smiled faintly and said, “The Queen Manor is no longer yours. Don’t use the Queen’s status to suppress me. You’re not qualified.”
“You!” The Little Commandery Princess almost choked to death.
“Move aside.” Yu Wan walked to her side. When she brushed past her, she knocked her to the side unceremoniously.
The Little Commandery Princess’s back hit the door. It did not hurt, but she had embarrassed herself in public. She was so embarrassed!
“Yan Wan!” The Little Commandery Princess shouted.
Yu Wan calmly entered the study and turned to her. “I forgot to tell you, my name is not Yan Wan.”
She was Yu Wan and also Helian Wan.
The Little Commandery Princess had yet to recover from the fact that the other party had flown up the branch and become a phoenix. She was clearly a village woman who had grown up in the countryside. How did she become the daughter of the Helian family?
The Little Commandery Princess said sourly and angrily, “Although my mother is no longer the Queen, she’s still the Princess of Nanzhao! I’m the little commandery princess of Nanzhao! You… You have to kneel when you see me!”
Yu Wan smiled and said, “You also said that your mother is the Queen in the past. But she’s not now. How do you know that in a few days, she’ll still be the Princess of Nanzhao?”
The Little Commandery Princess exploded. “Helian Wan! You’re not allowed to curse my mother!”
Yu Wan could not be bothered with such a child who had grown up with a golden spoon in her mouth and did not know the hardships of the commoners. She was unruly and willful. She was reasonable because she was rich, as if everyone was inferior to her.
“You’re not allowed to touch my father’s things!”
“Helian Wan! I’m warning you! Are you deaf!”
Yu Wan ignored her.
The Little Commandery Princess went to look for Nangong Yan again. The dejected Nangong Yan finally reacted. Her eyes trembled and she chased after him.
“Prince Consort… Prince Consort…”
“Prince Consort!”
She chased in such a hurry that she forgot that she had not combed her hair properly. Her hair was disheveled as she came to the door. Just as she was about to approach the carriage, she was blocked by Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao was much taller than her and just looked at her indifferently.
Nangong Yan’s eyes turned red as she said, “Where’s the Prince Consort?”
“He left,” Yan Jiuchao said expressionlessly.
Nangong Yan said, “He can’t leave… He’s the Prince Consort…”
“The Prince Consort you snatched,” Yan Jiuchao interrupted her.
“I didn’t! No… no… I didn’t snatch him… The Prince Consort was willing to be with me…” Nangong Yan’s tears fell. “I have nothing left… I can’t lose the Prince Consort again… Let me see him…”
“No,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Nangong Yan said in disbelief, “I’m so good to you… I even gave you a medicinal primer…”
“Even so, no,” Yan Jiuchao said.
Nangong Yan suddenly felt her heart ache. She clutched her chest.
Yan Jiuchao said coldly, “Do you feel uncomfortable? That’s right. My mother has been like this all these years.”
Nangong Yan was stunned for a moment before she reacted. “Impossible! Isn’t she married?”
Yan Jiuchao looked at the sky and nodded. “That’s true. Without my father, she had another good man doting on her. But you don’t.”
With that, Yan Jiuchao looked at her sympathetically and turned to look for his sons.
Nangong Yan was angered to death by Yan Jiuchao. She finally understood that those envoys who had been to the Great Zhou had not exaggerated. There was a kind of person in this world who could easily anger everyone to death.
“Don’t be discouraged.” Yan Jiuchao turned back. “You still have a son.”
That’s right, she still had her son.
“Although your son isn’t as good-looking as me and isn’t as useful as me.”
Nangong Yan : “…”
Nangong Yan, who was estranged from the Prince Consort and did not vomit blood after being deposed, finally could not take it anymore. Her blood surged and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Nangong Yan vomited blood from anger because of Yan Jiuchao. She couldn’t stop vomiting big mouthfuls of blood.
Yan Jiuchao ignored her. Their family was about to leave, and only his sons were still hanging around the manor. He had to go and fish them back.
At this moment, the little black eggs were sitting on the threshold of a quiet courtyard. This was not anyone else’s courtyard, but where Asura lived.
On the first day the three of them came to the Queen Manor, they discovered that Asura lived here. They would come to the threshold to meet Asura every day, but Asura had never appeared once.
When the guards guarding the courtyard saw that it was a few little babies, they were at first worried that they would be accidentally injured by Asura. After all, after Asura recovered for a while, he had begun to become manic again recently, and he was even more manic than before. Almost every day, a few sacrificial soldiers died in his hands.
However, what puzzled the guards was that every time these little children sat on the threshold, Asura’s mania would greatly decrease. This was naturally not because Asura had become a normal person, but because Asura had forcefully suppressed his mania.
This process of suppression was especially painful.
Was Asura… reluctant to hurt these children? The guards felt that it was impossible.
Asuras were tools without emotions. Other than killing people, he also killed people. He would never feel sorry for anyone, including himself.
The little black eggs grabbed the little milk bottle and couldn’t bear to drink it. They kept waiting for Asura. However, even when their father came looking for them, there was no sign of Asura.
“Let’s go.” Yan Jiuchao held Dabao’s hand.
If they left today, they would never be able to come again. Dabao thought for a while and left the little milk bottle with the goat milk.
Yan Jiuchao held Dabao and Er’bao’s hands, and Er’bao held Xiaobao’s with his other hand. The three of them turned around as they were led forward. Other than the lonely little milk bottle, there was no one on the threshold.
The four of them completely disappeared at the end of the path. Only then did Asura flash out. He picked up the small milk bottle on the threshold and put it into his arms aggrievedly. “Wu~”
