Chapter 486
At dusk, the last rays of sunlight from the horizon fell on the quiet courtyard, casting a golden glow on this quaint mansion.
Two young figures were busy, they were Mo Ruyu and Mo Yi, two little guys, they were having fun washing and sweating. Today was a special day for them.
Mo Yi, a five-year-old boy, is no longer an ordinary child. His triumphant return makes the whole capital city excited.
At the age of five, he was able to achieve great military exploits on the battlefield. This was an unprecedented feat. Shangguan Ziling, the gentle and virtuous mother, felt both proud and distressed when she saw her son's outstanding performance.
And Mo Shaoxie, the majestic father, was as calm as ever, but his eyes were shining with expectation and pride for his son.
Shangguan Ziling held Mo Yi's hand, Mo Shaoxie held Mo Ruyu in his arms, and the family of four got on the carriage and set off for the palace.
The carriage was moving smoothly on the official road paved with bluestones. People along the way stopped and looked at it with envy and admiration. They knew that the person sitting in the carriage was the most dazzling star in the capital today - Xiao Yi'er.
Inside the palace, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was filled with joy. The Emperor was preparing for the celebration banquet for Xiao Yi'er.
Tonight, Xiao Yier will become the most eye-catching focus in the palace.
At the banquet, all the officials came to congratulate. Although Xiao Yier was still young, he was not afraid of the grand occasion, but seemed calm.
The emperor looked at Xiao Yi'er with admiration in his eyes. He praised Xiao Yi'er as a pillar of the country and the hope of the future.
At the celebration banquet, there was toasting and laughter.
However, this banquet seemed long and boring to the four-year-old Xiao Yuer.
Halfway through the banquet, Xiao Yuer sat next to her mother Shangguan Ziling, with curiosity and impatience flashing in her eyes.
She secretly glanced at her mother who was talking to the guests, and seeing that her mother didn't notice her, she quietly slipped down from her seat and moved among the crowd at the banquet like a nimble deer.
Just as she was looking around for something new, she suddenly bumped into someone and was knocked to the ground.
"Whose child is this?" Jun Wanting's voice was a little cold.
The maid whispered something in her ear, and Jun Wanting's face changed instantly. She quickly recovered her composure, bent down, helped Xiao Yu'er up, and said softly, "What's your name? Why are you so careless?"
Mo Ruyu tilted her little head and looked at the person in front of her who suddenly became gentle, her eyes full of curiosity.
A hint of hatred flashed in Jun Wanting's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. She smiled and said, "I'll take you to have fun, do you want to go?"
When Xiao Yuer heard that there was something fun to do, she immediately forgot her mother's instructions, smiled and nodded, and followed Jun Wanting.
Shangguan Ziling turned around and saw Xiao Yuer and was shocked.
Looking at Qiu Kui and Dong Qing, "Where's Xiao Yuer?"
Okra looked around and said, "Hey, it was here just now."
Shangguan Ziling looked everywhere for Xiao Yuer, but there was no sign of her.
"Go find it quickly"
"Yes." Qiu Kui and Dong Qing immediately went to find Xiao Yuer.
Jun Wanting had hated Shangguan Ziling for a long time, and now seeing her daughter, she felt an urge for revenge. She left the banquet with Xiao Yuer, thinking about how to deal with her daughter.
Xiao Yuer’s disappearance made Shangguan Ziling extremely anxious.
In late autumn, the fallen leaves in the cold palace drifted in the wind, bringing with them endless desolation.
Jun Wanting now brought the four-year-old Xiao Yuer to this remote cold palace with a heart full of resentment.
Xiao Yuer was wearing a pink dress. She should have been innocent at this age, but she frowned at this moment. She looked around and saw that the cold palace was dilapidated and desolate, which was far from the "fun" place she expected in her heart.
She puffed her cheeks and looked at Jun Wanting with dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say you would take me to have fun? This place is so remote, what's fun here?"
Jun Wanting looked at the four-year-old girl coldly, her heart burning with anger.
She hated Shangguan Ziling so much. She lived such a happy life and gave birth to a pair of outstanding children. She was jealous to the point of going crazy.
But she, a princess, has not yet married and has become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone.
Her mother passed away three years ago, and her brother the crown prince is now far away. She has no one to rely on, and she no longer has the capital to be proud of herself as a princess.
Defei is now the empress dowager. One can imagine how difficult her life is in the palace. The empress dowager makes things difficult for her from time to time.
The resentment in Jun Wanting's heart surged like a tide. Jun Wanting suddenly reached out and pushed Xiao Yuer hard.
Xiao Yuer was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground, frowning in pain.
Jun Wanting ignored her feelings and coldly ordered the maid beside her: "Kill her for me."
The palace maids were so frightened when they heard this that they trembled all over. They knew that if they took action, they would bring disaster upon themselves. However, under Jun Wanting's coercion, they dared not disobey.
"Princess, don't do anything stupid. If the Regent and the Regent's Consort knew about this, I'm afraid..." A palace maid mustered up her courage and reminded her in a trembling voice.
Jun Wanting glared at her and said sternly, "What are you afraid of? We have avoided other people along the way and no one knows we are here." Her voice was cold and resolute, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment on Xiao Yuer.
However, Xiao Yuer did not show any fear. Hearing their conversation, she sneered in her heart. This bad woman actually dared to attack her, so she would be punished. Don't think that she is easy to bully because she is young.
Xiao Yuer quietly took out a porcelain bottle from the storage space, which she usually used when playing with poison.
She twisted the cap gently, and a faint fragrance wafted out. This was her special drug, and one sniff would make people fall into deep sleep.
Jun Wanting and the maids did not notice Xiao Yu'er's actions. They were still nervous about the upcoming killing. However, just as they were about to start, a fragrance suddenly hit them, and they suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground unconsciously.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuer's mouth curled up into a smug smile. She stood up and patted the dust off her body.
Xiao Yuer held a bottle of crystal clear liquid in her hand. It was a psychedelic drug that she had carefully prepared. Just one drop could make people fall into endless hallucinations. She slowly approached the three unconscious people with a smug smile on her face.
She gently opened the bottle cap and dripped the psychedelic drug into the mouths of the three people. As the drug seeped into them, the three people gradually woke up, but with a hint of confusion in their eyes.
Xiao Yuer quickly stepped aside, sat on a chair, and waited for the next show to begin.
"Shangguan Ziling!" Jun Wanting's voice was filled with fear and anger. She had just woken up when she saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
Jun Wanting rushed forward desperately, trying to catch the phantom. Her two maids followed closely behind, and the three of them immediately fought. However, their attacks were like hitting the air, with no effect.
Xiao Yuer sat on a chair, watching this scene, "Hahaha..." Xiao Yuer couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her laughter echoed in the cold palace, with a bit of sadness and ridicule. Jun Wanting and her maids seemed to have heard this laughter, and their movements became more and more crazy.
"Shangguan Ziling, are you laughing at me? It's all your fault that I'm in this state now. I'm going to kill you, bitch." Jun Wanting was completely crazy.
Xiao Yuer frowned and actually cursed her mother. Xiao Yuer then gave them itching powder, snot powder, and crying and laughing powder.
For a moment, Jun Wanting, her master and her servants were so itchy that they kept scratching themselves, their faces were covered with snot, and they were crying and laughing at the same time.
