Chapter 491 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Forty-One)
Queen Wu Xiling of the Ji Kingdom and Imperial Noble Consort Wu Ximeng are both from the Wu clan. They are half-sisters. Their mother was the great elder of the Wu clan, who passed away more than ten years ago.
The two sisters have been competing with each other since they were young, but the king likes to see them getting along with each other, so they often fight behind the scenes and tacitly agree not to bring the matter to the king's attention.
Imperial Noble Consort Wu Ximeng was very proud yesterday, thinking that her son was no worse than the Crown Prince, but today she cried until her tears dried up.
"My son, you died so tragically! God, why did you take my son away? Wuu ...
Li Dandan was already in a daze, her memory still stuck on the moment when the Fourth Prince lifted his veil. She couldn't believe the Fourth Prince's death. She had killed the Fourth Prince? How was that possible?
Li Dandan was unable to refute and could only watch as everyone arrested her as a murderer. She believed that her brother would definitely clear her name.
Because of the investigation on the palace maid, it was proved that she did not intend to kill anyone, but was drugged and could not control her behavior, which led to this bloody incident.
Li Dandan understood that the Fourth Prince's death was not her intention, but she was the one who did it herself. She felt very guilty, but when she heard what her mother-in-law said, she reacted a little slowly.
"Ah? How can I accompany him? Hasn't he already... You, you, you want me to die? I didn't mean to hurt him! Isn't that palace maid dead? With her accompanying my husband, he won't be alone." Li Dandan grew up in the mountains. She was raised with a bit of wildness in her temperament. She is not a sentimental person. Although she killed her husband with her own hands, she is usually heartless and will not take the responsibility on herself.
Seeing that Li Dandan didn't want to be buried with him, this woman who had been doted on by the King of Ji for her entire life, with a fierce look in her eyes, she said hatefully, "Who is that? A palace maid is worthy of being by my son's side? If it weren't for you, would my son have died? Killing someone means killing someone, and he must be buried with you. He is your husband, and you must be buried with him! Come, bring the white silk."
"Brother, I don't want to die! Why do people have to be buried with others when they die? I remember that when the Emperor of Liang died, even his concubines didn't have to be buried with him. Why should I be buried with the Fourth Prince in Ji State? I feel wronged!"
Wu Ximeng said angrily, "You also know this is Ji State, not Liang State! Do you think Liang State is a good place? The eldest princess has just turned into a pile of yellow earth."
Wu Xiling stared at Wu Ximeng, her eyes reddened. Her Mingyueer was dead, and yet she was still being attacked. "No, Dan'er is innocent. She's still young. How could she be buried with her?"
Prince Lounan stood in front of his sister, and the second princess stood aside in embarrassment, trying to persuade the imperial concubine to give up the idea. Otherwise, if Li Dandan died, how would she face her husband in the future?
Now the second princess regretted coming to the imperial capital. As her mother was a noble concubine, she could still live a comfortable life in the palace even with the presence of the empress and the imperial concubine. There was no need for her to worry about her mother and bring her children to the imperial capital to see her mother.
The Second Princess grabbed the Imperial Concubine's arm and pleaded bitterly, "Mother Princess Meng, I know you are heartbroken right now, but Fourth Brother is kind-hearted. How could he bear to let such a beautiful woman like Dan'er die tragically under the white silk?"
Wu Ximeng sneered, "Married people are different. Your own brother died tragically, but you defended the culprit and don't feel sorry for your brother at all."
The second princess looked embarrassed after being accused, and could only whisper: "Dan'er was just being used by others." Then Wu Ximeng lay in the king's arms and cried.
The king looked at his second daughter with condemnation and felt heartbroken for the death of his fourth son.
Prince Lounan refused to be buried with the emperor, but the monarch understood his beloved concubine and loved his son, so he also wanted Li Dandan to be buried with the emperor.
