Capítulo 2672: Chapter 2672: Let’s Escape
Furthermore, the Retired Emperor had never truly cared about her son before. How could she feel reassured?
“Dowager Consort Yu, it’s best if you confess the deeds you’ve committed in Ying City over the years. Although death is inevitable, there’s a considerable difference in how you die.
As for the Fifteenth Prince, if you wish not to die too swiftly, you can remain silent and continue clenching your teeth.”
Gong Jian looked at them calmly and said.
“This Prince is of the royal family. You dare to kill This Prince; the Emperor will not forgive you!” The Fifteenth Prince imdiately rushed forward upon hearing Gong Jian ntion him.
He cared little about the Yu Family, but he was concerned about his own life and death. He didn’t want to die with Consort Wen; he wanted to live. Only by living could he continue to enjoy the best treatnt.
“Heh.”
Gong Jian stopped wasting words with them; it was enough to see them.
“Take to the Prince’s Mansion.”
He had asked the secret guards before: over the years in Ying City, the Prince’s Mansion had been seizing property left and right. Besides the extravagant expenditures of Dowager Consort Yu and her son, there must be considerable wealth remaining.
But Dowager Consort Yu and her son refused to speak, so he had to search for it himself.
“Alright.”
The secret guards responded and escorted Gong Jian away.
“Co back, return to Consort Wen, Consort Wen wants to see the Retired Emperor. You dare to curse the Yu Family; Consort Wen will not let you go!” Dowager Consort Yu yelled furiously at their backs as they left.
She didn’t believe the Yu Family had been annihilated. Even if her deeds in Ying City were known to the Retired Emperor, she still had the Fifteenth Prince by her side. How could the Retired Emperor destroy the Yu Family? He was still counting on the Fifteenth Prince to grow his forces in Ying City and eventually rise up to retake the capital.
This was surely Gong Jian’s conspiracy, deliberately saying this to deceive her.
“Co back and explain to Consort Wen what you truly want! Consort Wen is the Retired Emperor’s concubine. If you dare to harm Consort Wen, the Retired Emperor will absolutely not spare you!”
Inside, she was extrely terrified. The Emperor was far away, and she was in Ying City. Even if the Retired Emperor knew about her precarious situation, he would be powerless to save her in ti.
She feared that she wouldn’t survive long enough for the Retired Emperor to dispatch soone to rescue her, and would already fall at the hands of those sent by the Emperor.
“Mother Consort, what should we do? Will they kill us?”
The Fifteenth Prince was also panicked. He was afraid too. Previously, Consort Wen assured him that those people wouldn’t dare do anything to them. But now?
He saw that the people from the capital didn’t pay any attention to him as a prince—their eyes had never glanced towards him.
“No, they won’t.”
Dowager Consort Yu murmured softly, shaking her head incessantly.
“They don’t have the nerve. Ji’er, you are a prince, the son of the Retired Emperor. They dare not kill you, nor do they dare kill Consort Wen. They are rely posturing right now.”
She turned to look at the Fifteenth Prince, speaking with utmost seriousness, unsure whether she was comforting him or herself.
But deep down, she already understood the fate awaiting her. She inwardly believed Gong Jian’s words to be true. The Retired Emperor really had annihilated the entire Yu Family.
“Mother Consort, let’s escape. As long as we flee from Ying City, we can go find the Emperor.” The Fifteenth Prince, though spoiled, was not foolish. He recognized the gravity of their situation, knowing one wrong move could an death.
