Chapter 4207: You're Dead

The little poker-face let out a cold cry, her gaze sweeping around with icy intensity, landing on Consort Fang's face.

Consort Fang felt her body tremble slightly and quickly reached out to block Empress Dowager Chen, earnestly pleading, "Crown Princess, what the Empress Dowager did is indeed wrong. But, but…"

"She is, after all, an elder in the palace. She's old, and it's inevitable she might be a bit muddle-headed. She didn't think things through and got fixated on something, she…"

"What nonsense." Qiao Mu glared coldly at Consort Fang, interrupting her unceremoniously, "Today, even the King of Heaven won't save her!"

"Do it!"

"Yes!" Aoye (Stay-Up-Late) simply took two guards with him and personally stepped forward to tighten the white silk.

He had thrown the two broken pieces of white silk from before onto the ground and had now retrieved a fresh one!

Indeed, Aoye's inner world seemed to contain quite a few pieces of white silk…

Chen Chaozhi immediately knelt down, kowtowing heavily before Crown Prince Mo, "Your Royal Highness, please calm your wrath! Today's matter, please, for the sake of the late Emperor, and for my Chen family…"

"No one's sake will work." Crown Prince Mo coldly interrupted Chen Chaozhi, his gaze deep as he looked at the people behind him, "Prime Minister Chen. You brought so many people here today to witness such a lively imperial scandal. Do you think… I should let all of you leave just like that?"

Chen Chaozhi felt a chill run through him.

The numerous Chen family servants behind him also collapsed to the ground in terror, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy, shouting chaotically, "This servant saw nothing!" "This servant won't say anything!"

Mo Lian's gaze, however, was chillingly fixed on them, as if he were looking at a group of corpses.

Prince Jianping and his son huddled to the side, continuing to act like quails, not daring to utter a single word.

It wasn't that the two of them were cowardly or afraid of trouble; in this matter, their Prince Jianping's residence was utterly innocent.

The Empress Dowager insisted on confronting the Crown Princess in Prince Jianping's residence.

Given the Crown Princess's temper, not immediately beheading that old hag on the spot was already quite polite.

Now, out of respect for the imperial family's dignity, leaving the Empress Dowager a complete corpse, the Chen family should already be secretly celebrating.

If they continued to stir up trouble, there was no telling if that gentle (insane) as (bloodthirsty) jade (lunatic) Crown Prince would annihilate the entire Chen family!

What couldn't this master do?

Anger boiling over for a beauty! Just like his father…

Aoye pulled one end of the white silk, and, together with another guard, tightened the silk ribbon.

The Empress Dowager desperately clawed at the ribbon wrapped around her neck, her eyes wide with terror, staring at Crown Prince Mo and the little Crown Princess. Gurgling sounds escaped her throat, and the light in her eyes slowly, bit by bit, extinguished.

Qiao Mu stared coldly at her, without the slightest change in emotion.

Consort Fang was blocked by two guards on the side, unable to break through, and could only tearfully cry out, "No, no!"

Her gaze fell on the little Crown Princess's stern face. For some reason, seeing such an expression made her involuntarily shiver.

The two personal guards behind Consort Fang were naturally also stopped by the Crown Prince's men.

Having been caught off guard and had the white silk cut earlier, the Night Pavilion guards were furious. At this moment, they naturally wouldn't allow anyone to approach and interfere again.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager!" Consort Fang wept as if her heart would break.

This appearance…

The little Crown Princess's profound gaze couldn't help but sweep across Consort Fang's face.

Was such affection still possible in this deep palace?

This Consort Fang was indeed a good person, valuing emotion and loyalty.
