The candle was about to burn out, and Linxi added another candle with tears in his eyes.
The sound of footsteps came, and the person who came was wrapped in a cold air, which made the candle flicker and almost go out.
The Queen and Cen Yunchu called out "Your Majesty" at the same time.
But the emperor spoke to Fulan first: "Put down the scissors, don't hurt the queen."
The queen's neck was punctured. Although it was not deep, there was blood.
Fu Lan didn't let go. She looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I know that I deserve death, but my mother-in-law is innocent."
"Since I have come back, I will naturally uphold justice." Bai Fu stood behind the emperor. He looked at Fulan and nodded almost invisible.
"What happened today has nothing to do with anyone else. It's all my fault." Fulan took another deep look at Cen Yunchu and took a step back.
With a wave of his right hand, the sharp scissors cut her throat.
From the moment Fu Lan took the Queen hostage, everyone knew as if she would never survive.
Seeing Fu Lan lying in a pool of blood, Cen Yunchu felt great sadness in his heart!
Linxi held her tightly, biting the tip of her tongue with her teeth.
You can bleed at this time, but you can't shed tears.
The queen suddenly collapsed to the ground, and Bai Fu stepped forward to help her up.
He also ordered people to come forward, carry Fu Lan's body down, and clean up the blood stains.
But the strong smell of blood still lingered.
"What happened today?" the emperor asked after looking around for a week.
At this time, Zhou Ren and others were also untied. He knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "I heard some movement from Empress Cen's side in the middle of the night, so the empress sent her servants to come over and see what was going on.
The commander of the Royal Forest Army said that they saw someone sneaking into Cen Niangniang's palace while on patrol at night, and they suspected it was an assassin.
She wanted to search carefully, but Fulan said she was afraid of disturbing Concubine Cen, so she didn't ask anyone to search.
Seeing the stalemate between the two parties, the servant thought of a compromise, asking the guards to search outside, while the servant took the eunuchs and maids inside to take a look.
This is also for the safety of Mrs. Cen. If she really becomes an assassin, how can she still do it?
Who would have thought that the seventh son of the Chen family was here, and he didn't say anything when asked.
We had no choice but to search him and found a letter from him."
Zhou Ren said and handed over the letter.
The emperor only took one look and then let it go.
Zhou Ren had no choice but to continue: "Because this note was very similar to Cen's, the Queen asked.
Madam Cen said she did not write it, but the paper was clearly from Ouchi.
At this time, Fulan stood up and said that she had written it, and took the opportunity to hold the Queen hostage.
This is how things happened, I don’t dare to lie, after all, Manager Bai Fu was with me from the beginning to the end.”
The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief and cried to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is a matter of honor for the entire royal family. I dare not take it lightly.
Unexpectedly, he almost risked his life. He is so unreasonable and will be punished! I hope the emperor will make the decision for me."
"Queen, you are frightened. I will punish these guards and slaves! There are so many people, but they don't even protect you. What's the use of them?!" the emperor said angrily.
Those people immediately knelt down, all of them were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say anything to beg for mercy.
The Queen quickly said: "Your Majesty, how can this be blamed on them? No one thought that Fulan would be so bold."
"Then what does the Queen want me to do? Fulan is already dead, can she still be allowed to die twice?" the emperor asked in return.
"I ask the emperor to make the decision. Although Fulan is dead, the matter has not been found out yet." The queen said, "I don't believe that a palace maid dares to have a private affair with a foreign man!"
"She even dares to hold the queen hostage, so why not?" The emperor said, "Shouldn't the queen calm down and rest for a few days?"
Seeing the emperor's attitude, the queen obviously wanted to make this matter a trivial matter.
I have painstakingly planned this, isn't it going to come to nothing?
Therefore, he was unwilling to give in anyway and continued: "I can still support you, so I don't need to rest for the time being. I asked Chen Siwen to come to Cen Zhaoyi's palace, as she was suspected of filthy and messing up the palace.
As the Lord of the Sixth Palace, how can I sit back and ignore this?"
"Chen Siwen, I will only give you one chance. It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor." The emperor looked at Chen Siwen and said in a deep voice.
At this time, Chen Siwen was completely awake, knelt straight and said: "Back to the emperor, I came to the palace in the middle of the night on the order of the queen to diagnose Mrs. Deng's pulse.
Fearing that the concubine's illness would relapse, the eunuch in the palace asked the villain to rest in an empty room in the side hall.
I plan to wait until daybreak and the concubine's condition stabilizes before I leave the palace.
After I fell asleep, I lost consciousness. When I woke up again, I saw a crowd of people surrounding me, and I didn't know how I ended up here.
But the villain has a splitting headache, is upset and feels nauseous, so he must have been intoxicated by something like incense."
"Your Majesty, the imperial doctor clearly showed him before and said he was not poisoned." Zhou Ren said hurriedly, "It shows that he is lying."
"Just find someone else to look at it," Cen Yunchu said, "As long as it doesn't take more than three hours, you can find out clearly.
Besides, if he really walked here by himself, how could the soles of his shoes be so clean?
A thin layer of snow fell when it got dark, and the snow in the apse had not yet been cleared. Could it be that he floated here without even touching the ground?"
Chen Siwen rode to the palace gate on horseback, then got off his horse and walked into the palace. The soles of his shoes were originally dirty.
But he likes to be clean by nature, so he cleaned it up and put it next to his bed before going to bed.
The person who brought him here naturally didn't consider that level. He just put on his shoes and then carried him here, so Chen Siwen's feet didn't touch the ground at all.
The queen glanced at Zhou Ren gently. Zhou Ren understood what the queen meant, that she disliked her inability to do things well.
"I have been held hostage for so long. It is not difficult for Chen Siwen to fake the poisoning. He is very skilled in medicine." The queen still refused to let go.
"Cen Zhaoyi, what do you say about this?" The emperor did not answer the queen's words, but asked Cen Yunchu.
"Your Majesty, I have never done anything sorry for you." Cen Yunchu looked at the Emperor intently and said.
"I believe you." The emperor nodded.
The queen couldn't sit still and raised her voice unconsciously: "Your Majesty, you trust her too much! That letter..."
"That letter is not written by Yunchu, and I am not blind yet." The emperor glanced at the queen, and his bored expression disappeared in a flash.
"Your Majesty, this concubine is thinking about you! She charmed the monarch and messed up the harem..." The queen even stood up. She wanted Cen Yunchu to die so much, right away.
"Queen! If you leave a way out for others, you are leaving a way out for yourself." The emperor frowned, "This matter ends here. Anyone who makes any further comments in vain will be killed!"
