Chapter 17: Wolf Ambition

The Imperial Palace of the Northern Cloud Kingdom.

"Mother, everything has been done, you will never have to worry about it again." The second prince, Yan Ziming, said to Concubine Hua with a sinister smile.

"How do you do that? Have you found the nurse? Ever since Concubine Hua saw Ling Yuwei, she had been very uneasy in her heart, because she finally remembered why she felt that the butterfly birthmark on Ling Yuwei's face was familiar.

Because of the little princess back then, Yan Zimo's sister also had the same birthmark on her face, although it has been so many years, she can still remember it clearly.

Concubine Hua couldn't understand why there was such a coincidence in the world, and she had also doubted whether Ling Yuwei would be the little princess back then, but after careful thinking, she felt that it was completely impossible, because the little princess had already been killed by the people she had bought.

What's more, if Ling Yuwei was really the little princess back then, and she and Yan Zimo were brothers and sisters of the same father and mother, how could they become Yan Zimo's crown princess?

So in the end, Concubine Hua denied that speculation, plus she had seen the corpse of the little princess with her own eyes, so it was impossible for her to be alive at all.

Although the speculation that the little princess was still alive was denied, Concubine Hua's heart could no longer be calm, especially when she thought that the person she bought back then was still alive, her heart was even more worried.

And the person who was bought by Concubine Hua was the nurse who took care of the little princess back then, she threatened her with the lives of the nurse's parents, and asked her to help her kill the little princess, and promised the nurse that once the task was completed, she would be released from the palace to reunite with her family, so she didn't kill her, but now she suddenly remembered that she was a little flustered, afraid that the nurse would tell her about the year.

And Concubine Hua recently learned that the nurse's parents had died one after another, and she was the only one living alone, so she was even more worried that she would be desperate to tell the story of the year, and finally decided to let the second prince go to kill people.

Because in Concubine Hua's eyes, only dead people can be kept secret, so no matter what, she can't let the nurse continue to live in this world.

"Found it, Erchen promises that there will never be a nurse in this world in the future." Yan Ziming has always listened to Concubine Hua's words, so he did this matter personally.

"Are you sure? There can't be any negligence, right? Although Concubine Hua believed in her son, she still asked a little uneasily, because she was really worried in her heart.

"Son-in-law, isn't the mother still at ease? She's been killed by my sword. Yan Zimo's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, it was easy for him to kill a helpless nurse.

"Has it been seen? Have you searched where she lives? Is there anything suspicious? "Concubine Hua has always been cautious, although the nurse has been killed, she is still worried that the nurse will leave something to prove the bad things she did back then.

"The place where the nurse lives is extremely remote, no one should see it, and Erchen has also searched her residence carefully, and nothing suspicious has been found." Yan Ziming recalled the place where the nurse lived, her room was very simple, and the things in it were clear at a glance, and there was no place to hide things.

"That's good, the mother concubine is finally relieved now, if your father and queen know about what happened back then, we will all be finished." After listening to Yan Ziming's words, Concubine Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as the nurse died, she didn't need to be afraid anymore.

"Mother, Erchen has always had a question in his heart, I don't know if I can ask?" Yan Ziming said this sentence with some hesitation, because he didn't know whether to ask or not.

"We are mother and son, if you have anything to ask, will the mother still not tell you?" Concubine Hua smiled lovingly, Yan Ziming is her only son and her favorite son, so there is nothing that cannot be said between them.

"Mother, why did you let people kill the little princess back then?" Although Yan Ziming didn't have any feelings for the little princess, she had always been very curious in her heart, and she didn't know why Concubine Hua did that.

Because in his opinion, the person who is the most threatening to them is not the little princess, but Yan Zimo, so he has always felt that even if Concubine Hua really wants to kill, it should be to kill Yan Zimo.

"All this was forced by your father, over the years, he not only gave all his feelings to the queen, but also gave all his father's love to the prince, if the queen gave birth to a princess for him again, he would only love her more, and our days would only be more sad." Concubine Hua's eyes were full of resentment, she loved the emperor, but she also hated him, hated his favor for the queen, and was ruthless to herself.

Although there are many heirs of the emperor over the years, the princess is only the one born by the queen, so Concubine Hua was worried that the emperor would love the queen more because of this, so she ruthlessly planned the conspiracy of the year and killed the little princess.

"I see, I'm really wronged by my mother." After listening to Concubine Hua's words, Yan Ziming finally understood why Concubine Hua did that.

"Ming'er, everything the mother concubine has done is for you, now I only hope that one day you can get ahead, you must defeat Yan Zimo and win the country of Beiyun Kingdom." Concubine Hua pinned all her hopes on Yan Ziming, now she doesn't want feelings anymore, the emperor's favor is dispensable for her, but power is a must.

"Don't worry, the princess, your son will not let you down." Yan Ziming is very confident in himself, he has always felt that Yan Zimo is not his opponent, and it is only a matter of time before he defeats him.

When Yan Zimo was asked to go to Nanling Kingdom to inquire about the news, it was Yan Ziming who proposed it to the emperor, because he knew that Yan Zimo had always advocated peaceful coexistence with Nanling Kingdom, rather than subduing it by force.

Therefore, he concluded that even if Yan Zimo really went to Nanling Kingdom, he might not find any news, and then he would be able to refer to him in front of the emperor.

Although the emperor has always loved Yan Zimo, their opinions on the issue of Nanling Kingdom are inconsistent.

And this is an opportunity for Yan Ziming, he wants to seize this opportunity to destroy the relationship between the emperor and Yan Zimo, enhance his relationship with the emperor, and finally let the emperor stand on his side and pass the throne to himself.

"Ming'er, don't mention the matter about the little princess to anyone in the future, just treat it as if nothing happened, you know?" Concubine Hua felt that after killing the nurse, no one would know about the events of the year, as long as Yan Ziming didn't mention it again, no one would know about it anymore.

"The queen mother can rest assured, the sons must be tight-lipped." Yan Ziming knew the seriousness of the revelation, how could he tell the matter?

"The queen probably would never have thought that her precious daughter was killed by me, and she will never know the truth." Concubine Hua's face showed a wicked smile, she had decided not to mention this matter again.

Concubine Hua thought that as long as she didn't mention it, no one would know about her crime, but she didn't expect that paper couldn't contain fire after all......
