Not long after the Tianlao incident happened, the Empress learned the news of Zhen'er's murder. She was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground.
There was no time to clean up, and soon after learning the news, she hurried to Tianlao.
By the time the Queen Queen passed by, Zhen'er's body was already very cold, her limbs had become very stiff, and the blood on the ground had gradually dried up.
The Queen staggered and knelt in front of Zhen'er, hugging Zhen'er's body tightly in the cell, breathing heavily in anger.
The Queen just held Zhen'er silently without saying a word, and sat there. No one could disturb her. She sat silently like this for nearly an hour, with no intention of getting up and leaving, and the servants also
Don't dare to say anything.
It was not until Bei Mingshuo rushed over that he interrupted the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother was poisoned, the prison was robbed, and Zhen'er's tragic death could not continue like this. He must bring this matter to an end as soon as possible.
"My condolences to the Queen, please be patient."
Bei Mingshuo stood tall and looked at the queen who was kneeling on the ground, looking very embarrassed, and said softly.
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"
At this moment, the Empress was still holding Zhen'er tightly. Her eyes were staring blankly in one direction, and she asked His Majesty in a slightly questioning tone.
"Looking at the fact that she has served you before, I will give her a decent funeral." Bei Mingshuo said.
"Is that all?"
Hearing this, the Queen slowly raised her head and looked at the aloof emperor. She frowned slightly and looked at him, with a hint of anger in her words.
Although Bei Mingshuo didn't say it directly, how could she not see through his thoughts after they had been married for decades?
The reason why Bei Mingshuo said this was just to comfort herself. Seeing him like that, the queen understood that he was just trying to make a big issue into a small one.
The best choice at the moment is to let Zhen'er bear all the sins. The so-called decent funeral is just for outsiders to see. What's the point of formal things when people are dead? What if
If others talk about it, they will praise His Majesty for his generosity and say that His Majesty is a person who values affection and justice.
Seeing the questioning look in the queen's eyes, Bei Mingshuo felt very unhappy. He threw down his sleeves angrily, turned his back to the queen, and continued leisurely.
"Queen, I advise you to let this matter go. You should understand that this is the best ending."
"The best ending, may I ask Your Majesty, is the best ending to sacrifice some innocent people?"
When the queen heard those words, she sneered again. There was a hint of ridicule in her words. She narrowed her eyes slightly and cast a contemptuous and contemptuous look at Bei Mingshuo.
At this moment, facing the Nine-Five Supreme Being, the Queen showed no respect at all. In her eyes, not only was there no admiration from a minister to a king, but also no respect that a wife should have for her husband.
"Isn't the Queen crazy? How dare you speak to me like this!" Bei Mingshuo glared at her angrily and said fiercely.
Bei Mingshuo turned around suddenly and looked directly at her. Seeing the queen's contemptuous expression, he was even more angry.
The queen was still looking straight at him, not trying to avoid his gaze at all. After experiencing so many things these days, the queen's heart, which had already been extremely cold, only became more frustrated.
Looking at the Queen's stubborn look, Bei Mingshuo slowly squatted down and got closer to the Queen. He approached her little by little. At this moment, his aura was so powerful that he was oppressing the Queen.
"Queen, you should understand why I say this is the best choice! Because doing so will not only give an explanation to the whole matter, but also save the royal family's face."
When they were close at hand, Bei Mingshuo spoke slowly. His voice sounded so cold, giving people a cold feeling, far more cold than the cold wind in the prison.
.
At this moment, Bei Mingshuo was thinking silently in his heart, the queen is just a woman after all, how can she understand these truths?
If something like this happened in Tianlao, if he didn't handle it properly, what would happen to the royal family's face? Where would the royal majesty be?
"Face, face! Is this all your Majesty's eyes? Are those illusory things more important than living people?"
The Queen snorted coldly, and then her emotions became more and more agitated. She almost roared and spoke. The content of her words was also unobstructed, and she really did not save any face for His Majesty.
In this way, the Queen gradually exhausted Bei Mingshuo's last bit of patience.
Bei Mingshuo squatted a little further forward and got closer. At this moment, the two of them could even hear each other's breathing, both of them breathing so heavily.
Bei Mingshuo pinched the queen's chin tightly, which even made her feel a little painful. She tried hard to break free, but she couldn't. She could only look straight at His Majesty.
"I think you are still not calm enough, Queen. If you continue to pursue me like this, I don't mind grounding you for another month to reflect!" Bei Mingshuo said through gritted teeth.
"Is it because I'm not calm enough, or is His Majesty going his own way?"
The queen looked at Bei Mingshuo coldly, her tone and attitude still stubborn.
"Queen, I hope you really have a clear conscience about this matter." Bei Mingshuo calmed down and stared at the Queen with keen eyes.
Having said this, the Queen sat down suddenly on the ground again. Her attitude was still so firm just now, but now there were some changes. Facing his questioning gaze, she began to want to dodge.
Yes, she has a guilty conscience. Zhen'er and she are indeed not good people, but at least Zhen'er's crime is not worthy of death! Let alone such an unclear death.
"Whether this matter is serious or not, the queen should think about it carefully!"
After saying that, Bei Mingshuo suddenly shook his hand and let go of the hand that had been holding the queen's face tightly. This time, the queen almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the queen didn't say anything, she just fell to the ground, holding the ground hard with one hand to make her situation less embarrassing, while the other hand still held Zhen'er tightly.
Bei Mingshuo stood up slowly, walked to the door of the cell, turned his back to the queen and said something leisurely there.
"I don't care what you think, but I want to advise you to let this matter go! If you keep insisting on it, don't blame me for not showing mercy to you!"
He said another vicious sentence, and then left there without looking back. The queen was left sitting there blankly, still holding Zhen'er tightly in her arms, staring straight at her.
The direction Bei Mingshuo left.
"Mother, what should we do next?"
After His Majesty left, an accompanying eunuch hurried to the Queen's side and asked her carefully.
"Follow your Majesty's instructions and bury Zhen'er properly."
As she spoke, the queen narrowed her eyes slightly and stared into the distance. Yes, this was indeed the best choice at the moment. But when she spoke, she clenched her hands tightly into fists, clenching them very tightly.
Not long after, the queen ordered several servants to carefully carry Zhen'er's body back.
The queen placed Zhen'er on her bed, carefully wiped the blood on her body, and put her into clean clothes.
She even took out a lot of her own jewelry, rouge, gouache and other things to dress up Zhen'er carefully. She dressed Zhen'er up in a very decent manner and allowed her to be buried in splendor.
