"Since it is a wolf's ambition, it is impossible to guard against it. The late emperor and the queen mother were also forced by the situation at that time, and they fell into the treacherous plot of the thief." Murong Xitian took the queen mother's hand and held it tightly, "Your Majesty, what's going on?
From now on, self-blame will only add to the sadness and make the thieves complacent. Let your Majesty and your ministers handle the affairs of the court."
"Tian'er, you think your mother is old and can't help you anymore." With tears in her eyes, the Queen Mother shook off Murong Xitian's hand.
"The Queen Mother is not old, but she is too kind-hearted to doubt her most trusted people." Murong Xitian leaned over and whispered a few words in the Queen Mother's ear.
The Queen Mother immediately showed a look of shame, and at the same time clenched her fists bitterly: "It is difficult to guard against house thieves day and night. The Queen Mother never expected that she would... That's all. In the future, the Queen Mother will still eat more fasting and recite the Buddha's name, and pray to the ancestors to protect me, Murong Jiangshan."
"
"The Queen Mother is no less disheartened. There are always family members who will not betray us. As time goes by, the Queen Mother must develop a pair of discerning eyes to control the entire harem. If there is no fire in the backyard, the children and Your Majesty will be able to let go without any scruples."
Bo." Murong Xitian didn't know how to say compliments, but these words were more sincere than compliments and made people feel warm.
The Queen Mother grabbed his hand again and patted the back of his hand: "She is locked in the dark room in the side hall. Go and take her away. Whether you can conquer Kuanglan in the future depends on you and Ting'er
.”
"It's getting late, Queen Mother, please rest early." Murong Xitian helped the Queen Mother lie down, covered her with a quilt, then got up and went straight to the backyard.
At three quarters of Xu hour, two hours after Xia Ziluo entered the palace for the first time.
In the dark room at the back of Fuxi Hall, the lock on the door was suddenly opened. Immediately afterwards, the door was kicked open, and the palace maid from before left and returned.
She held a lantern in one hand and a tray covered with red satin in the other.
Under the shadow of the weak candlelight, this red color is even more dazzling. It looks bloody and terrifying in the dark room.
"Princess, did you miss me?" The palace maid put the lantern on the table.
Then, the palace maid walked up to Xia Ziluo with a tray and looked at her condescendingly: "Guess what good things I brought you?"
"You, what do you want to do?" Xia Ziluo's hair stood on end, trembling with fear.
"What do you want to do? You tell me!" The palace maid smiled sinisterly, but her small eyes were filled with powerful hatred. "If you confess honestly and sign the bond, you won't have to suffer physical pain!"
Draw a pledge? Confess?
Damn, Xia Ziluo wants to curse.
The empress and the empress dowager actually had a back-up plan. As long as she signed the pledge and the empress dowager and empress handed the charges to the emperor, the charges would be firmly pinned on her head.
Even if she is not destined to die by then, she will have to bear this crime for the rest of her life.
"I didn't poison." She always said this no matter where she went.
It wasn't something she did, so why should she admit it? If you compromise, you will only suffer yourself and even lose your life.
"Everyone who came here said so, but in the end no one could bear it, so they all gave up." The palace maid brushed and lifted the red silk cloth on the tray.
I saw a small tray filled with black porcelain bottles of different sizes. The mouth of each bottle was tightly covered, and there was even a piece of red cloth tied around it and sealed with a ribbon.
Intuitively, Xia Ziluo felt that there were terrible things in those small bottles.
