Chapter 183: Kill Her on August 8
Concubine Xiao arrived in time, but before she could visit Ding Ruolian, she hurriedly pulled her son Pei Mochen into the study with a serious expression.
"Chen'er, Emperor Xiuyan has already set out for the Northern Desert. I order you to execute Mu Wanyan before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August." She put down the tea that Pei Mochen had poured for her, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
"Zhu'er was demoted to a commoner because of that bitch Mu Wanyan. Her affair with Hua Wuzui was known to everyone in the capital. Now no man is willing to marry your sister. All this was caused by Mu Wanyan." Concubine Xiao said gritting her teeth.
Pei Mochen frowned and retorted: "Mother, the matter of Yuzhu has nothing to do with Wanyan. It was she who behaved improperly and wanted to hang out with her own doctor."
"Shut up!" Concubine Xiao interrupted harshly, "Zhu'er is your biological sister, how can you help others slander her?"
"Even if it wasn't Mu Wanyan's direct fault, she was the one who found the doctor. Hua Wuzui is young and handsome, so it's understandable that Zhu'er failed to notice him for a moment." Concubine Xiao's eyes were full of resentment.
She thought of the handsome face, sturdy figure, and humble and polite nature of the Jade-faced Young Master... and thought to herself, how many women in this world can escape - being with him and not being tempted?
Pei Mochen took a deep breath and said, "After the Xichang envoy leaves, I will place Mu Wanyan in the secret room. She once stopped the white tiger for me, and I owe her my life."
Concubine Xiao sneered: "How can a man be so kind as a woman? Mu Wanyan not only framed Yuzhu, but she was also a spy from Xichang, and she was also the woman that Emperor Xiuyan specifically asked for."
"Which of these three things is not enough for her to die a thousand times?"
She gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "When Emperor Xiuyan returns, you can just find a random excuse for his death."
Pei Mochen pursed his lips tightly and remained silent for a long time before he slowly uttered a sentence: "Mother, let me think about it."
Xiao Rong was firm: "No need to think about it, I will make the decision for you. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, find an excuse to take Mu Wanyan to the Lingyu Temple in Yuquan Mountain to pray for blessings."
"After burning the incense, take her to the top of Yuquan Mountain and wait. My secret guards will force her to jump off the cliff of Yuquan Mountain by herself."
Seeing the pain on her son's face, Xiao Rong comforted him, "Don't worry, I will ask the secret guards to avoid stabbing her as much as possible and keep her body intact. This is also a way to repay Mu Wanyan for blocking the tiger for you that day."
Pei Mochen's face was filled with pain. "Mother, please let me think about it again, okay? She is my princess after all. In the end, it is the child who is sorry for her."
Thinking of how Mu Wanyan had been infatuated with him, Pei Mochen felt distressed. "Even now, Yanyan doesn't know that the person she's with isn't me."
"Mother, I just want to save her life, even if I have to lock her up—"
Xiao Rong: "The matter has been decided, my son, there is no need to say more." Her son's hesitation only strengthened her determination to kill Mu Wanyan.
A hero hates love affairs the most. How could she let that bitch restrict the prince's bright future?
It seems that the matter of killing Mu Wanyan and jumping off the cliff at Yuquan Mountain should be put on the agenda.
Pei Mochen wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door of the study.
Pei Mochen and Concubine Xiao were instantly alert and asked in unison: "Who is it? Who's outside?"
This was a confidential matter and must not be overheard by others, so the two of them hurriedly opened the door to check.
"Meow——" It turned out to be a big golden yellow cat that knocked over a broken flower pot and happened to pass by the courtyard.
"Fortunately it was just a cat. I thought it was Yanyan coming over." Pei Mochen breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how Xiao Rong planned, he couldn't bear to kill Mu Wanyan again.
The separation of life and death in the Loquat Forest had already made him feel pain once. He didn't want to experience that kind of sorrow again.
Therefore, if Mu Wanyan heard the conversation just now, I would really have no way to defend myself.
Xiao Rong looked at her son's useless appearance and frowned as she warned him, "Lust is like a knife hanging over your head. Chen'er, don't indulge in women, otherwise you will only hurt yourself."
"In just a few days, your father has taken in two girls from the Phoenix Girl Academy. A few days ago, he didn't even attend the morning court, and just hung out with two vixens."
"He has no self-control even when his body is broken. He needs to use ginseng soup and deer antlers every day to keep himself going. I don't think he can hold out for much longer."
There was a hint of cruelty in Concubine Xiao's eyes, and she patted her son on the back.
She said earnestly, "Mother doesn't want you to be like him. The country of Dafeng and the people of Liming can only rely on you, my son, to rule."
Xiao Rong: "Chen'er, your ascension to the throne is a blessing for the people!"
Pei Mochen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Mother is right. The people love me, and I cannot let them down."
Xiao Rong returned home satisfied only when she saw her son's fighting spirit rekindled.

As soon as Concubine Xiao left, Pei Mochen rushed to Jianjia Pavilion.
His eyelids were twitching wildly at this moment, and the noise in the yard just now kept echoing in his mind.
Pei Mochen had a sixth sense and felt that the sound was definitely not made by the yellow cat.
I prayed in my heart: I hope Yanyan wouldn’t hear what happened in Yuquan Mountain just now and let her misunderstand.
-
Mu Wanyan in Jianjia Pavilion also had her heart beating like a drum at this moment.
She just wanted to find Pei Mochen to discuss Ding Ruolian's matter, but she never expected to overhear the conversation between Pei Xiao and his mother.
Haha, after living her life over again, the scumbag husband still wants to kill her on the top of the cliff.
The same Yuquan Mountain, the same way of death, both were intended to force her to jump off a cliff.
Just now, Mu Wanyan was as flustered as a frightened bird, her body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and she accidentally broke the flower pot beside her. Fortunately, a yellow cat happened to pass by, otherwise, she would definitely be exposed.
Mu Wanyan smiled bitterly at the bronze mirror: "It's ironic, even the time is the same day, August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"The prince has arrived!" Just as I was thinking about it, the voice of a palace servant suddenly sounded in the yard.
"Yan Yan, I just heard from the guards that you went to the study to see me?"
Pei Mochen walked in with a smile on his face, still looking gentle and polite.
"Yan Yan, why didn't you just push the door open and go in? Did you hear any of the gossip between the prince and my mother?"
His pair of phoenix eyes stared at Mu Wanyan like an eagle, but he took out a pearl hairpin and gently inserted it into her hair.
His voice was gentle and his movements were soft. If someone didn't know him well, they would think that Prince Chen loved his wife deeply.
After putting it on, he began to look Mu Wanyan from top to bottom. After a long time, when Mu Wanyan was panicked, he smiled slightly.
He exclaimed softly: "Tsk, my princess is so beautiful!"
Seeing Mu Wanyan in a daze, Pei Mochen's eyes, like a deep pool, stared at her flickering eyes again. "Yanyan, you haven't answered the question I asked just now? Hmm?"
