Chapter 219 Your subject has a memorial to present!
Upon seeing the Crown Prince's appearance, Mei Xingyue burst into maniacal laughter, laughing until she could barely breathe, before coughing violently and spitting out blood.
She was indeed deliberately trying to disgust the Crown Prince!
But when she saw that the Crown Prince was so disgusted by her words that he vomited, Mei Xingyue felt a pang of sorrow.
Having lived two lives, what exactly did I live?
Although she used tricks to seduce the crown prince, she genuinely believed that he was a good man worthy of her lifelong companionship.
I never imagined I would end up like this.
Mei Xingyue's laughter grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible until the Crown Prince slowly approached her, at which point her eyes lit up again.
Mei Xingyue subconsciously reached out her hand, not knowing what she wanted to do, but the Crown Prince directly grasped her hand, whose finger bones were already deformed.
"Xingyue, are you very pleased with yourself? Making me suffer so much before you die?"
Receiving no reply from Mei Xingyue, the Crown Prince remained unperturbed, continuing, "However, you are still my woman, and seeing you in such pain, I cannot bear it."
The time for her final burst of energy was fast approaching. Mei Xingyue was extremely weak at this moment. She struggled to open her eyes, trying to see the person in front of her clearly.
The prince spoke gently, but his gaze was extremely cold. He reached out and stroked Mei Xingyue's hair, removing the hairpin from her head.
"This hairpin was specially made for you by the Bureau of Treasures, symbolizing the deep love between you and your beloved husband..."
Mei Xingyue's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she listened to the Crown Prince's almost murmured words, recalling the tenderness they had shared in the past.
Perhaps, he also felt pity for me?
A feeling of affection rose in Mei Xingyue's heart, until she felt a piercing pain in her heart...
Mei Xingyue lowered her head and saw the hairpin, a symbol of deep affection between husband and wife, piercing straight into her heart!
The prince used all his strength to push the hairpin a little further into Mei Xingyue's heart, and drops of blood seeped out from the wound.
"Xingyue, I cannot bear to see you in such pain, so I will send you on your way..."
Mei Xingyue made a hoarse sound, it was hard to tell whether she was crying or laughing.
She was incredibly foolish. What good would it do to disgust the Crown Prince before she died?
It's neither painful nor itchy; it's not even as satisfying as directly stating that the Mysterious Beast is part of a conspiracy.
But Mei Xingyue knew that she was unwilling to completely destroy the Crown Prince, because she still had some feelings for him.
Now that the Crown Prince is personally sending her on her way, her few genuine feelings seem especially laughable!
Mei Xingyue's mind gradually became scattered, and images floated before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
There are the狰狞 faces of Erniu's parents when they abused her, the joyful smiles of the whole family when she gave birth to her son, and the face of her daughter-in-law who was resentful but dared not resist after she became the head of the family.
These people flashed before her eyes one by one, but her heart remained completely unmoved.
Even the six children she had given birth to in her two lifetimes flashed through her mind, but Mei Xingyue looked at them as if they were strangers.
Those who died tragically because of her now appeared before her, their faces exceptionally clear.
Mei Xingyue showed no fear whatsoever. She had already killed everyone, so what was there to fear?
She felt neither regret nor fear, until a somewhat blurry figure appeared before her eyes...
She was a thin woman, not very old, with a soft glow surrounding her. She was holding a water ladle and scooping water from a vat.
Upon seeing Mei Xingyue appear, the woman smiled gently and reproachfully, "Where has my little darling gone to play again? How did you turn into a mud monkey? I've boiled some water for you, come and wash your face!"
Is this gentle mother really her mother?
Mei Xingyue had only ever heard such caring words from her younger brother.
But her mother was too gentle, so gentle that it made her want to cry.
The pain of her body being completely broken did not bring Mei Xingyue to tears, but the appearance of her mother made her eyes blur with tears.
She reached out her hand into the void, crying out in anguish, "Mother... Mother..."
After only a few shouts, Mei Xingyue closed her eyes completely.
The Crown Prince looked at the lifeless body before him, slowly rose, and said to the crowd in an icy tone: "Five years ago, I was young and ignorant, and was seduced by Mei Xingyue with ulterior motives, which led to a tragic relationship with her, and I even had three children with her."
“Mei Xingyue is a crazy woman who often talks nonsense and has not properly taught her three children, causing them to go astray and commit numerous crimes.”
"Although the main culprit Mei Xingyue has been executed, those three children are not without fault. As the crown prince, and with Xuan Su recognizing me as her master, I am even more responsible to all my subjects."
As the Crown Prince spoke, he looked at Wang Shu, the Prefect of the Capital, who was still in a daze, and Qiu Ming, the Embroidered-Robe Envoy standing behind him.
"I am determined to uphold justice and eliminate family ties, and arrest the three sons of the Mei family. Lord Wang and General Qiu, you two should issue the arrest warrants immediately after the court assembly."
Jiang Yueshan is still the crown prince, and when he gives the order, Wang Shu and Qiu Ming can only bow and agree.
Zhou Wei looked at Mei Xingyue, who was lying on the ground and had no breath left, and then looked at the Crown Prince who was giving orders.
His eyes flashed with anger!
Mei Xingyue truly deserved to die. Heaven gave her a second chance, and gave her parents who genuinely loved her, but she ruined it all with her own hands.
Even after realizing the Crown Prince's cold-hearted nature, she still wanted to use emotional means to provoke him one last time.
Little did they know that such methods would be completely ineffective against someone like Jiang Yueshan!
He might still feel disgusted when he thinks of Mei Xingyue in the future, but what can he do about it?
He was not harmed in any way, and even after the incident, he was able to continue to be the crown prince with a clear conscience.
Now, they are even going so far as to exterminate Mei Xingyue's three children, in order to erase all traces of the Mei family in the world.
The crown prince is still young; it's not too late for him to remarry and have children.
The disappearance of Mei Xingyue and her three children was no loss to the Crown Prince.
On the contrary, they can squeeze out the last bit of value from their lives to earn themselves a reputation for integrity!
"Mei Xingyue, if you could know this from beyond the grave and see the Crown Prince like this, would you regret not exposing his hypocritical face before you died?"
Zhou Wei couldn't find an answer to this question, since Mei Xingyue was already dead.
However, even though Mei Xingyue spared the Crown Prince, Zhou Wei and the Eldest Princess had no intention of letting him off easy.
Given Zhou Wei's status, it was naturally not her turn to speak at the grand court assembly. After all, she was only a fifth-rank official, and it was only with the special permission of the eldest princess that she was allowed to attend the court as an observer.
However, someone had to take the lead in the beast tide incident. Seeing that A Bao had recognized his master and that Mei Xingyue was dead, Zhou Wei noticed that some court officials were showing signs of continuing to support the Crown Prince.
He then spoke up at the opportune moment, saying, "Lord Wang, you must take the Crown Prince's instructions to heart. He said to issue an arrest warrant, and you must do so quickly, lest the three sons of the Mei family escape from the capital, which would make things difficult."
Although Zhou Wei's rank was lower than Wang Shu's, Wang Shu immediately became extremely attentive upon hearing her speak, daring not to be negligent in the slightest.
At the same time, a voice in my head kept asking me questions.
Is it coming? Is it coming?
Wang Shuping calmed himself down and said to Zhou Wei with a gentle expression, "General Zhou is right. I will get to it as soon as I leave court and will not delay."
Zhou Wei smiled, then suddenly said, "Lord Wang is indeed very conscientious in his duties, but I've heard that he seems to be neglecting his responsibilities."
Wang Shu was startled and looked at Zhou Wei with some confusion, not understanding what she meant.
Zhou Wei offered no explanation, but instead bowed to Bai Xiaoxiao on the dragon throne: "Your Highness, may I ask if the matter of deposing the crown prince has concluded? If so, I have a memorial to present!"
