Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 453

"Become the empress of the new emperor and rejuvenate the Lin Clan." A burst of laughter suddenly came from inside the palace. The four of them widened their eyes in shock, and the plate with pastries in their hands fell to the ground with a loud bang, their faces filled with fear. Before the four maids could react, they heard the high pitched voice of the emperor, "come on, guards, take them inside the palace!"

After the four people were brought into the palace by guards, they figured out what was going on in the room. The emperor was sitting in a chair in the front. There were many people in the hall, including many imperial concubines, several princes and ministers in the court. Their princess was escorted by several guards. Her mouth was stuffed with the peach blossom handkerchief that she usually liked. Her face was pale and her eyes were closed, as if she didn't want to face the situation again.

"I don't know that my mother and my sister planned this in their minds. As the old empress' clan, I have been particularly lenient to the Lin Clan for what they had done in those years. According to the crime of treason, all the nine clans were supposed to be executed, but I just exiled them. Even if the old empress had committed so many crimes with them, I had always respected her as my biological mother. It was not until today that I knew the only one she cared about was still the Lin Clan. What a good surprise! Good! This is so good!"

Xia Huanyu glanced coldly at the Princess Tai An and the four maids kneeling on the ground. He called out, "guards, take the Princess Tai An to the prison. These four maids have ill minds, beat

them to death with a stick."

"Yes, your majesty," answered Liu Wenan in a hurry. Then he gestured to his men to take the five

women out of the room.

All people in the hall looked sullen after what had happened just now. The empress was the one who looked the most sullen. According to what Chun Tao said just now, the empress was the one who wanted to avenge the death of the crown prince the most.

The empress looked up at the crowd and turned to look at Xia Huanyu then said. "Your Majesty, mother really went too far this time." She paused and continued, "but the maid was not entirely right. We cannot fully believe her words. I feel sad for the death of my crown prince. After all, he was my flesh and blood that I conceived for ten months. However, I am not an unfaithful and unreasonable person. In the state of Ning, it was the Crown Prince's fault to assassinate Prince Rui, but his death had nothing to do with Prince Rui. I hate that I didn't teach him well or teach him to be a good brother. But over the years, there have been many princes and princesses born in the imperial palace of the state of Xia, and I have never been hard on them at all. All of them have been taught by me as my own children. I can't take the blame."

Xia Huanyu glanced at her casually, as if he was looking at an idiot.

The empress winced in hesitation, and remained silent after that.

Yun Shang stared at the empress for a while and couldn't help but become a little curious about her. It's not appropriate to say that now that she is a scheming woman. If she was not scheming, how could she stand still in the surging and insidious imperial household for so many years? Or, is pretending to be innocent and idiotic also a part of her scheming?

"Now that the empress said so, I will hand over the safety of Prince Rui to you. If anything happens to Prince Rui, I will hold you responsible." Said Xia Huanyu in a flat tone.
