The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Late at night, Lu Shian was awakened by the report that "Ye Baijiang died suddenly", so he got up, put on his clothes, and went to Ye Feiyan's bedroom.

There was a desolate and miserable scene in Yongshou Palace.

Ye Feiyan and Mu Zhengrong, mother and daughter, sat in the hall and cried loudly, tears and snot flowing down their faces unrestrainedly.

The wails and cries became louder and louder, as if they were going to cry the roof down.

Lu Shian looked unhappy. He walked to the main seat with big strides and sat down. He asked the servant beside him, "What happened? Why did Ye Baijiang suddenly die? What was the cause of death?"

The servant nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager went to visit the prison just now. After she left, the jailer found Ye Baijiang lying on the ground. He went up to check and found that Ye Baijiang had no breath and heartbeat.

"The cause of death seems to be...poisoning!"

Poisoned? Lu Shian didn't think much about it, and looked directly at Ye Feiyan and asked: "Mother, why do you do this?"

There's no way there could be poison in the cell, that's the only possibility.

Ye Feiyan cried until her voice was hoarse, but she did not deny it and told the reason with a broken heart: "Your uncle was born to care about his reputation. Everything he has experienced before has made him lose face and feel miserable. I don't want him to be paraded through the streets and cursed by thousands of people before he dies.

"We are all going to die sooner or later, so it's better to leave a whole body quietly, which can be considered as the last bit of dignity."

Lu Shian was helpless and sighed: "He is your own brother, and you poisoned him to death with your own hands. Why did you do this?"

Ye Feiyan shook her head and explained sadly: "It is precisely because he is my brother that I want him to die with dignity. Your Majesty, I acted on my own initiative and disobeyed the imperial decree. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

As she spoke, she actually knelt down towards Lu Shian.

Lu Shian was startled and quickly squatted down to support her.

Things had come to this point, he could no longer pursue the matter and could only accept his fate.

"Forget it. Ye Baijiang got what he deserved, so the way he died is not that important. Mother, please get up. I don't blame you."

Ye Feiyan refused his support, knelt straight and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, my mother has another request, I hope your Majesty can agree to it."

"Mother, please speak."

"Your Majesty, no matter how evil Ye Baijiang is, he is still your blood brother. I cannot bear to let him be exposed in a foreign land.

"I beg Your Majesty to have him buried at the Ye family's ancestral tomb outside the city. This will be an explanation to our ancestors. I beg Your Majesty to grant this!"

"Please grant us your blessing, Your Majesty!" Ye Yuqing and Mu Zhengrong knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Lu Shian thought for a moment, then looked at the attendant beside him and asked, "Have you checked carefully? Is Ye Baijiang really dead?"

The attendant confirmed, "He is definitely dead. His heartbeat and pulse are gone, and his pupils are dilated."

Lu Shian nodded, helped Ye Feiyan up, patted her hands and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will send someone to bury him at the Ye family's ancestral tomb tomorrow."

"No, Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to have him buried right now. I want my brother to rest in peace as soon as possible."

Lu Shian didn't care and agreed again: "Okay, let's go now, mother, don't cry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Feiyan wiped her tears and thanked him again.

"By the way, mother, block the news of Ye Baijiang's sudden death in the middle of the night. The death penalty will be carried out as usual tomorrow." Lu Shian said something incomprehensible.

Ye Feiyan was extremely confused and asked in astonishment: "Why? Your uncle is already dead."

"Don't ask anymore, mother. Just listen to me." Lu Shi'an patted her shoulder, turned around and left Yongshou Palace.

After comforting Ye Feiyan, Lu Shian dragged his tired body back to Youlanju, skillfully took off his coat and shoes, got into bed, and habitually held the beauty in his arms.

Ye Qiandai found a comfortable position in his arms and lay down. She asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, have you found out? Is Ye Baijiang really dead?"

Lu Shian nodded and responded: "Yes, the autopsy was done and confirmed that he was dead. It was because my mother didn't want him to be paraded through the streets tomorrow and be spit on by everyone, so she wanted to leave him with an intact body, so she poisoned him to death."

"Ah? Is it really like this?" Ye Qiandai was extremely surprised.

"Well, I didn't pursue my mother. After all, he was her brother, and I could understand her feelings. Anyway, Ye Baijiang is dead, so the other things are not that important."

Ye Qiandai rolled her eyes and thought, always feeling that something was not right, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Qian Dai, why did you ask me to block the news of Ye Baijiang's sudden death in the middle of the night, and let everything for tomorrow's execution go on as usual?" Lu Shian asked in confusion.

What was this girl planning? He had never realized that his baby was so smart.

"I..." Ye Qiandai hesitated for a moment and explained vaguely, "I said that I wanted to use this to deter the people from following Ye Baijiang's example and rebelling.

"This is a rare opportunity. We can't give up this opportunity just because Ye Baijiang is dead."

Most importantly, she still had to use Ye Baijiang to go fishing. Although the bait disappeared unexpectedly halfway, she still had to catch fish.

Lu Shian chuckled and asked again: "How can we warn everyone if Ye Baijiang is gone?"

Ye Qiandai answered without hesitation: "Isn't this easy? Find a death row inmate with a similar body shape to Ye Baijiang, put a hood on him and push him into a prison van, and use him as a substitute."

Lu Shian kissed her on her pink face and said lovingly, "My wife is smart. I will follow your instructions."

Ye Qiandai smiled and kissed him back, hugging him sweetly and acting coquettishly, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty loves me the most~"

Before dawn, everything was quiet and the sky was exceptionally dark. In the dark blue sky, a morning star was exceptionally dazzling.

In the desolate and quiet suburbs, a large black coffin was resting on the ground, and a dozen people were digging a grave nearby, sweating profusely.

In just half an hour, a deep grave was dug out.

Without even taking a break, everyone worked together to lift the coffin and bury it in the grave.

Afterwards, they quickly filled the soil and buried it until the coffin was completely covered and a high mound appeared on the ground.

After finishing all this, everyone picked up their shovels and rushed back the way they came to report.

Ten minutes after they left, another group of people trotted towards the grave.

Although these people also held shovels and hoes, they were obviously not as open-minded as those who had just buried the coffins.

Each one of them was like a cat with its tail up, looking left and right, keeping their eyes in all directions, and being extremely vigilant, fearing that their whereabouts would be discovered.

After a long inspection and finding no trace of other people, the leader waved his hand and whispered to the others: "Quick! Dig!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded, spitted a few times and wiped their palms, then took their tools and tried their best to dig up the newly buried grave.
