The emperor's sharp gaze fell lightly on the queen's elegant body.
Then he gently swept his long sleeves.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Father." Wu Fengxuan stood aside in silence, his gentle pupils filled with a sad and quiet dim light at this moment.
Yi Qingya looked into his eyes calmly.
"Xuan'er, why are you here?" She seemed surprised and a little uneasy.
"After returning to my mother, my father summoned the child to the palace, saying that he had something to tell the child." Wu Fengxuan bowed and met Yi Qingya indifferently.
"Queen, this is not the place for you to chat. Xuan'er, you were behind the curtain just now and you should have heard everything. Now, my father wants you to tell the truth. Tell me, what the two people kneeling in front of me said are the same.
Really?" The emperor's sharp eyes were shining.
Yi Qingya looked at Wu Fengxuan quietly. When she saw him looking away guiltily, she knew that the situation was over.
"I don't dare to deceive my father. What Princess Cui'e and Eunuch Gao said just now is absolutely correct." Wu Fengxuan stared at Yi Qingya with a pair of compassionate eyes.
"Mother, Xuan'er doesn't want you to make the same mistake again and again. Queen, please admit your mistake to your father as soon as possible. I believe that your father cares about your relationship as husband and wife. He will not--"
"Xuan'er? Haha -" Yi Qingya suddenly sneered. She looked at that flawless face, a familiar face she had seen for twenty years. At this moment, why did it look so strange? It was as if she had never known it.
What was this well-behaved son thinking? Her smile was a little sad, and she walked unsteadily towards Wu Fengxuan. "Xuan'er, you said your father doesn't know anything, are you childish, or are you just pretending to be confused like your mother?
Haha—hehe—" She suddenly laughed wildly. She was also elegant and smart all her life, but she never expected that in the end she would end up betrayed and separated from her relatives.
This son, the son she thought she was proud of, she smiled wildly and touched Wu Fengxuan's face with a smile. "Xuan'er, what you did today is so stupid, so stupid-"
"Come here, escort the queen back to Qianning Palace, and wait until all the evidence of the crime is collected before she is punished." The emperor gave the order coldly.
Instead, the queen smiled sweetly. She adjusted her phoenix robe, raised her chin, and walked past the emperor coldly and noblely. She looked back coldly and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to blame me, you are not to blame."
You married me for power, let alone abandoned me after you married me."
Her figure was strong and stubborn, and she slowly stepped into the dark sky, letting the strong wind blow and letting the huge raindrops pounce on her.
"Queen, Queen—" the kneeling maid Cui'e rushed out.
She threw herself on the cold steps and kowtowed three times. "The Queen treats Cui'e very well, and Cui'e will remember it in her heart. I betrayed the Queen today because I have no choice but to do so. I have never betrayed the Queen."
My heart, my heart is always loyal to the Queen. Queen, please take care, Cui'e has gone first, and I hope to repay the kindness of the Queen in the next life."
bump--
Cui'e hit the dragon's pillar with her head, blood immediately flew out, and her body went limp.
"Cui'e, Cui'e -" The queen turned around and hugged Cui'e, whose body was getting colder. Her tears burst out and flowed out involuntarily.
Unexpectedly, the person who was willing to stay by her side in the end was actually a palace maid, a palace maid.
ah--
The Queen looked up to the sky and roared, her voice sad and miserable.
The emperor looked at Yi Qingya's gloomy look. He closed his eyes and waved his hand somewhat unbearably. "Take the queen down."
※※※※※※※※
In the prime minister's house, Yi Qingfeng raised his brows after hearing the news.
He put his hands behind his hands and looked out the window with a solemn expression.
"Everyone is prosperous, and everyone suffers. The emperor personally took action to depose Qingya. It seems that he is going to start dealing with the Yi family."
"Prime Minister, what should we do next? The Empress sent someone to deliver a verbal message, asking the Prime Minister to think of a way to save His Highness the Crown Prince," the visitor reported.
"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about this matter. But - you broke into the palace in the middle of the night and sent a message to the Queen on behalf of me, saying that you want to save His Highness the Crown Prince and go find Princess Rui." Yi Qingfeng sighed softly.
"I understand, I will take action now." The figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
※※※※※※※
In Prince Rui's Mansion, Wu Fengying quietly listened to Long Si's report. A sharp light flashed across his ice-purple eyes. Suddenly, the light converged and settled down.
"You said the third brother also went to testify?" There was a chill in his eyes.
"Exactly, because the three wise kings came forward to testify, the queen suffered a mental breakdown and had to admit it in the end." Long Si replied coldly.
Wu Fengying's face darkened, and he suddenly asked: "Where is the palace maid Cui'e, have you brought her back?"
"Back to the prince, the Cui'e palace maid, Zhongzhi and the queen were coerced by the prince this time. They had no choice but to betray the queen and tell the truth to the emperor. She had already confessed her intention to the queen by dying and hit her head on the doorpost of Longquan Palace.
"When Long Si finished speaking, a hint of tranquility flashed in his cold eyes.
Wu Fengying looked at Long Si calmly and said: "Long Si, you also think this king is cruel, don't you?"
"I don't dare. I only know that those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. What's more, the other party acted cruelly first, so you can't blame the prince for counterattacking." Long Si told the truth.
Wu Fengying sighed softly.
"That's all. You go to the palace to smooth things over, bring back the body of Lady Cui'e, and give it to her brother. In addition, bury her properly and arrange her brother's errands."
"I obey," Long Si retreated.
Yi Fangfei stood outside the door. She didn't know how long she listened. She only knew that Wu had begun to change, and that his path began to move in the direction of blood, conspiracy, and darkness. But she knew it, but could not do anything.
, she could only watch as he slowly evolved from a soft-hearted, single-passing boy to a resolute prince whose hands were stained with blood and who stepped on other people's corpses.
People, once involved in politics.
Even if it is pure white paper, it will not be tainted with a dark atmosphere.
The Purple Star returns to its throne, the True Dragon Palace!
After all, he was no match for the gears of fate and embarked on the destined path. But at that time, if he really became a monarch who admired the world, then what about her, where should she go?
She turned around and left slowly.
The steps were heavy, step by step, leaving deep footprints on the wet ground.
"Princess, what's wrong with you? All your clothes are wet?" Shuang'er watched the wet Yifangfei step into Yuhexuan, and she quickly wiped the water drops on Yifangfei's hair with a dry cloth.
"Shuang'er, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Get me some hot water. I want to take a bath." Yi Fangfei looked dazed, looking at Shuang'er in a daze.
"Okay, Princess, just wait a moment, Shuang'er will be back soon." Shuang'er took an umbrella and ran out quickly.
Yi Fangfei took off all her clothes and wrapped herself in the quilt, tightly. Her teeth were chattering and her expression was dull.
