"Don't worry, they are coming soon." Xia Qingtian had already expected that Sima Chun would ask to see the emperor and the queen mother when he couldn't hold on any longer.
That's why he made such a big fuss and brought officers and soldiers to Kunyi Palace. Otherwise, he could just find a close confidant of Sima Chun and poison her to death.
Just as Xia Qingtian finished speaking, footsteps sounded for the third time outside the hall.
There were a lot of people coming this time, and the footsteps were chaotic and rapid.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" Suddenly, a eunuch's voice came from outside.
The voice just fell, and then it sounded again: "The prince has arrived."
Then, the door of the palace was pushed open, and a large number of eunuchs and maids, shouting from one to the other, came into the palace to serve the emperor.
Murong Xitian followed behind and entered the main hall of Kunyi Palace with Murong Leiting.
"I send my regards to Your Majesty." Sima Chun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Murong Leiting.
"Get up." Murong Leiting glanced at her lightly, then turned his eyes to Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian lazily stood up from his chair and pretended to be a king and a minister: "Your Majesty, I think you have received a secret report of the truth."
"I just finished reading. I wonder if what the prime minister said is true?" Murong Leiting was served by Eunuch Lei. As soon as he sat down, a palace maid immediately presented him with hot tea.
"The truth is being interrogated, and now there are two witnesses to testify." Xia Qingtian glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground, and they immediately kowtowed to Murong Leiting with all their strength, saying words of mercy.
Murong Leiting just glanced at them and didn't ask anything.
He already knew exactly what was being sung in this play. It was just for the sake of the show that he had to come and see it, treating it as an after-dinner entertainment.
"Now that the Prime Minister has reached a conclusion, I wonder what the Queen has to say?" Murong Leiting's gaze passed over the two people kneeling on the ground and landed directly on Sima Chun's face.
Sima Chun never expected that Murong Leiting would agree to Xia Qingtian's words without asking.
She has always been on his side. She has openly opposed Xia Qingtian several times in order to gain his trust, and has helped him and the Queen Mother. Moreover, the Queen Mother has always been very fond of her, and even His Majesty also relies on her.
of.
"Your Majesty, if you want to impose a crime, there is no need to say anything. I believe that those who are clean will be cleansed themselves, so I have nothing to say." At the critical moment, Sima Chun chose to take the wrong approach.
It must be said that her move was quite clever. If she revealed her help to Murong Lei, it would only undermine Murong Lei's majesty in front of Xia Qingtian and would not arouse any sympathy from him.
Unfortunately--
"Your Majesty, I don't think this is a crime. Not long ago, the Queen Mother was poisoned, and I caught a little maid who poisoned her. Her name is Huan Bi. This maid is the Queen's confidant, and she has recently confessed.
, the mastermind behind the poisoning everywhere was the empress. Because the matter was so important, I suppressed it and did not report it in time." Murong Xitian, who had never been involved in such harem matters, actually stepped in and added insult to injury.
Hearing Murong Xitian's words, Sima Chun felt like dying.
It was impossible for Huan Bi to betray her, but she didn't expect that Murong Xitian, who had always been against Xia Qingtian, would in turn suppress her. Is it just because she attacked Xia Ziluo many times?
But isn't Xia Ziluo his enemy? He should want Xia Ziluo to die more than she does, right?
