131 They rejoiced in the gazebo to the south—good!
"Brother, tell me everything you know, otherwise I will not let you go."
Bai Meichen looked at Xuanyuan Hao who was kneeling beside him, and her mind went back and forth a thousand times. Perhaps the truth about the death of her mother and concubine will be revealed tonight. Looking at Xuanyuan Hao's appearance, she knew that he could not tell lies.
"Okay, remember your promise, otherwise I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."
Xuanyuan Hao stared at him until he nodded, then turned his eyes. When he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a slight scolding.
"Hao'er, don't you care about your mother? At least, you have to ask your sixth emperor brother to forgive your mother."
Queen Li Jie suddenly walked up, her tone a little urgent, as if she was afraid of being left behind by Xuanyuan Hao.
Xuanyuan Hao was startled, and then he remembered the woman who raised him. No matter what, it was still a mother and son relationship, and he couldn't ignore her.
"Brother Sixth Emperor, by the way, I will also give you my..."
However, when he turned around to look at Bai Meichen, who was pleading for the queen who had already walked to him, his words were only ordinary, and everyone saw a flash of cold light.
"Pfft...you..."
A large mouthful of blood spurted out, and Xuanyuan Hao looked at the queen holding the dagger in her hand in shock, with eyes full of disbelief.
"Hao'er, don't blame mother for being cruel. Don't worry, mother will be with you soon."
Li Jie's eyes were filled with sorrow. Although Xuanyuan Hao was not her biological son, she was the one who brought him up, and her feelings were still very deep. But there were some things that she couldn't let him say, so she could only do this.
The accident happened so fast that no one had time to stop it. Bai Meichen looked at Xuanyuan Hao with a knife in his heart, knowing that he would definitely not survive, and felt extremely upset in his heart.
"Since you won't let him say it, then let's say it yourself."
Su Huan'er raised her hands and snatched the dagger from Li Jie's hand, who was about to commit suicide. She grabbed her lapel and threw her to Bai Xi aside, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Take her back to Taxue Villa and don't let her die."
After arresting her, are you still afraid that she won't tell? If she dares not to tell, I have plenty of ways to make her speak.
"Yes, ma'am."
Bai Xi captured Li Jie and took several secret guards with him, preparing to personally send her to the prison of Taxue Villa.
"What do you want to do? She is my queen, and she cannot tolerate you being so presumptuous."
Even if Xuanyuan Xu didn't like the queen, she was still the mother of the country. If she were taken away in front of him, he would lose face.
"What about the queen? If you are Luo Suo, I will arrest you too."
Su Huan'er glanced at him fiercely. She didn't have half a favorable impression of Xuanyuan Xu. If the queen revealed that he had killed Meichen's mother-in-law, she wouldn't mind killing him with her own hands.
"Su Huan'er, he is my queen. Whatever mistakes he makes should be dealt with by me. Is this how you treat me? Aren't you afraid that I will revoke your engagement?"
Xuanyuan Xu was still a little afraid of this future daughter-in-law. Thinking of the coldness of the king of snakes around his neck, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his body.
"The one I want to marry is Bai Meichen, not Xuanyuan Qi. So, please do as you please."
Su Huan'er looked indifferent. No one could make the final decision on her marriage except herself. What about the emperor? If she respected him, it meant he was worthy of her respect. If she disrespected him, he was a piece of shit.
"you……"
Xuanyuan Xu was suddenly filled with anger and looked at her fiercely, but also helpless. This woman was probably born to let him ascend to heaven early.
"Girl, he is also your father after all, so you should save some face for him."
Empress Dowager Chen couldn't stand it anymore. Her son had probably been very angry ever since he met this girl. But this girl's backstage was very tough. Even if her son was the emperor of Xia Kingdom, he couldn't touch her.
Half a minute.
"You have to earn face by yourself. If you don't have the ability, don't expect others to give you face."
Su Huan'er's expression softened a little and her tone became much better. She really couldn't be as rude to Empress Dowager Chen as she was to Xuanyuan Xu.
"Girl, it's not right for you to take the queen away. She killed the eldest prince and should be punished by the emperor."
Empress Dowager Chen sighed helplessly. Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, she couldn't help but persuade her. If the empress was to be taken away, where would the majesty of the emperor be? What's more, she really didn't want Qi'er to know about what happened back then.
"Queen Mother, you know why I took the queen away. Since you both refuse to tell me what happened back then, I can only use other methods to get the answer. However, since you have spoken, I promise you
, as long as the queen is honest, I will leave her alive and let you deal with it."
Su Huan'er looked non-negotiable, waved her hand and said nothing. The Queen was the only breakthrough point now. If she was killed and silenced, how would we continue to investigate what happened back then?
"well……"
Queen Mother Chen sighed again. It seemed that the paper could finally stop the fire. Forget it, let them go. She was old and couldn't care about so many things.
Looking up at the ministers who were still kneeling, he felt even more worried, so he had no choice but to look up at his son.
"Emperor, you'd better clean up the court quickly and don't let the people of the other two countries see the joke."
It made her feel really bad to have a birthday party like this. She stood up and was about to leave with a tired look on her face...
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
A guard rushed over in a hurry, sweating profusely.
"explain!"
Xuanyuan Xu's mood had already hit rock bottom. When the guards told him that something had happened again, he became even more depressed.
"Princess Zhou and the third prince, they, they..."
The guard stuttered a little, and seemed a little worried in front of so many people. After all, it was not a glorious thing, and it related to the face of two countries.
"What happened to Princess Zhou and the Third Prince?"
When Xuanyuan Xu heard about this, he got involved with Zhou State, and his anger became even more intense. It was like one wave after another. Something happened to the prince of Zhao State. If Zhou State was added to the mix, he would feel like it.
Extreme headache.
"Princess Zhou and the Third Prince, they are having a good time in the south pavilion. The subordinates really couldn't persuade them, so they had to block all the ways in and out of the south pavilion."
As soon as the guard finished speaking, he sighed deeply, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and waited for the emperor's final decision.
As soon as these words fell, there was silence, and everyone suddenly opened their eyes, thinking that they had heard wrong. The guard actually said that the princess and the third prince of the Zhou Kingdom were acting indifferently, and they were still there where people were coming and going.
The south pavilion, this... this is too unacceptable.
