N-A-A Chapter 1752 Death Begins
Chapter 1752 Death Begins
At this moment, the Fifth Princess had also finished dressing up and was helping her mother out of the palace when they saw the Sixth Princess, who was also being helped out.
The Emperor told them that everyone had to go to the Ancestral Temple today, but they could take their time and wait outside the temple.
But they didn't dare to linger too long. They were already preparing to set off when the Sixth Princess saw the Fifth Princess. However, when the Sixth Princess saw the Fifth Princess, her eyes flashed with hatred.
The Sixth Princess and the Fifth Princess never got along, but because the Fifth Princess had been recuperating and hadn't appeared for many years, the two hadn't had much of a chance to meet face-to-face.
However, the Fifth Princess has recently regained favor, and now the Sixth Princess feels an irrepressible urge to rush over and kill her whenever she sees her. Consort Shu tightly gripped the Sixth Princess and whispered, "Sixth Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Didn't she teach her children that even with people they dislike, they should suppress their true feelings if they don't have a complete chance of winning? Why is Xiao Liu finding it increasingly difficult to control her emotions?
The Fifth Princess took the initiative to bow to her, and then helped Consort Yu walk past them.
The sixth princess watched their retreating figures and said through gritted teeth, "Mother, look at how arrogant they are now."
Consort Shu scolded in a low voice, "Your father is currently favoring them, so you better watch yourself. That Fifth Princess is not someone to be trifled with."
Consort Shu always felt that the Fifth Princess gave her a very strange feeling.
But she couldn't quite put her finger on what that feeling was, since the Fifth Princess was always quite polite to them.
Consort Shu felt that even if she told others, they wouldn't believe her. Instead, they would think she was narrow-minded and couldn't even tolerate a princess who was only ten years old.
The Second Prince's Mansion.
Lu Zhaoyun felt that she had been living in a daze lately. Seeing the Second Prince about to leave with the child in his arms, she rushed over and grabbed his sleeve.
"Where are you going? I want to go too."
She had no idea that everyone was going to the ancestral temple today. She just felt that she had been trapped in the Second Prince's residence for a very long time. It had been so long since she had gone out, and she hadn't even seen her own family members.
The second prince violently shoved her away, throwing her to the ground.
Looking at Lu Zhaoyun now, the Second Prince felt his eyes hurt. He couldn't remember how he could have liked this woman before.
He might have been cursed at that time.
However, his mother had warned him that if Lu Zhaoyun died of illness on her own, that would be one thing, but she absolutely could not die at his hands, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.
People will definitely guess that he killed Lu Zhaoyun secretly because he felt that Lu Zhaoyun's background was too lowly and that it made him lose face.
Moreover, Consort Shu had always felt that the Lu family was a bit strange. They were just from the countryside and had committed such a serious crime. They had no money left. Logically speaking, such a large family should not be able to survive and should be living in great difficulty.
However, Consort Shu secretly sent people to investigate the Lu family. Although they were indeed having a hard time, the family was like cockroaches that could not be killed, and they were all still alive and well.
She had previously speculated that the Lu family might be struggling to make ends meet and might sell their children, especially since the Lu family still had two beautiful young ladies, Lu Rulian and Lu Rubao.
But strangely enough, these two girls were still able to roam around without any problems. The strangest thing was that she once secretly sent people to cause trouble for the Lu family, and even some thugs went to cause trouble for the female relatives.
But for some reason, in the end, all these things just faded away, and the Lu family members weathered the crisis just as well.
Consort Shu didn't tell anyone about this; she was secretly shocked and developed a slight fear of the Lu family.
She felt that the family was somewhat strange. Otherwise, why didn't Lu Zhaoling, such a powerful person, who had Prince Jin Zhou Shiyue backing her, and who clearly had such a great hatred for the Lu family, kill the Lu family?
It was because of this suspicion and fear that Consort Shu kept telling the Second Prince to just ignore Lu Zhaoyun and never kill her.
Fortunately, the Second Prince still listens to her. Although Lu Zhaoyun is often crazy and annoying, she is still living well in the Second Prince's mansion.
However, the Second Prince found Lu Zhaoyun increasingly intolerable, and whenever Lu Zhaoyun approached, he could always smell an unbearable stench emanating from her.
"What exactly did you go out to do? Did you not change your clothes, or have you not showered in so long? Why do you smell so bad?"
Upon hearing the Second Prince's question, Lu Zhaoyun raised her sleeve and sniffed it, but she couldn't smell anything at all.
She glared at the Second Prince and said, "I know you're looking down on me now. Your Second Princess is about to marry into the family. I know she's the daughter of a great general, and she comes from a distinguished family. Do you think she's the only one worthy of you? Am I supposed to step down for her?"
The Second Prince sneered and said, "Don't think too highly of yourself. Qiu Yunzhen's marriage into my household doesn't require you to step down, because you were never in that position to begin with."
"Furthermore, if you want to live a good life, stop hanging around in front of me. Look at yourself now, and smell the stench on you. You're awful and disgusting."
"No matter what I'm going to do today, you have no right to follow me. Do you think a lowly concubine like you can go to the ancestral temple with me? Don't dream about it."
After saying this, he ordered his servants to hold Lu Zhaoyun back to prevent her from following, and then quickly left the prince's residence.
Behind them came Lu Zhaoyun's heart-wrenching scream, a sound that truly didn't sound like a woman's.
Upon hearing this, the second prince couldn't help but shudder.
He really wanted to get rid of Lu Zhaoyun.
The Second Prince was unaware that just as he got into the carriage, the two maids who were dragging Lu Zhaoyun back to her room suddenly froze. They felt a sudden chill and their limbs went numb.
Lu Zhaoyun suddenly seemed to have gained the strength of an ox, and with a burst of energy, she shook them off and rushed out.
The two maids opened their mouths, wanting to call for someone, but no sound came out.
They saw with their own eyes that black mist was emerging from under a tree in front of them, and that black mist seemed to have a life of its own, extending to their feet.
The two maids stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with terror.
But they didn't even have a chance to cry for help.
After running for a while, Lu Zhaoyun suddenly turned around and saw the two maids suddenly fall straight down.
