Aunt Gu panicked and gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Don't know?" Feng Ruqing sneered, "I have a magical elixir here that can make your intestines pierce to pieces. Do you want to try it?"
When she heard this, Grandma Gu's body trembled. She gritted her teeth and continued: "There was no master, it was all my fault!"
The lives of her whole family, including everyone, were in the hands of the queen, so she could never admit it.
The queen's face turned pale and she laughed dryly: "Princess Ruqing, look at this... it's just a slave's private revenge. How could there be any mastermind?"
Feng Ruqing looked at the queen with a sneer: "I don't know if the man lying in the room is your son, but I think you don't care about the real murderer at all. Instead, you want to shift the responsibility to this old woman."
The queen's face changed, and she clenched her fists tightly.
Why, why is it that Xia Xia is Feng Ruqing’s daughter when everything is fine?
If she hadn't appeared, there wouldn't have been so many things, and no one would have saved Murong Qing.
The emperor laughed twice: "The queen is Qing'er's aunt. She has always regarded Qing'er as her own child. How could she not care about him? She just..."
"I am becoming more and more suspicious of how you became the emperor," Feng Ruqing turned her head and said expressionlessly, "Since you are not afraid of death or pain, someone must have threatened you. Go and kill this old man.
I want to tie up all Dongxi’s family members, and I want to see if she tells the truth.”
For a person to be so fearless of life and death, that is only if there is something in his hands.
But what excuse can make her not even afraid of death?
Unless the person being held is her relative...
Only family members would allow a person to disregard life and death and admit all guilt.
Sure enough, after hearing Feng Ruqing's words, the color drained from Aunt Gu's face, she panicked, and her whole body started to tremble.
The queen's face was also full of panic. She bit her lip and said nothing, as if she was thinking about how to get out of trouble.
"If you tell the truth now," Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes and looked at Aunt Gu, "I can guarantee that your relatives will not be harmed at all."
Ever since the empress had the emperor's name for Feng Ruqing, Aunt Gu knew the identity of this person.
Although she didn't know why this person would care about this matter, she understood that she was the only one who could save her relatives now.
"My grandchildren, my children, are all in the hands of the Queen. The Queen asked me to do this, otherwise she would save and kill my relatives. Please save them. I will say anything."
boom!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting me head on.
The emperor turned his eyes in shock and looked at the pale queen, his brows filled with disbelief.
"Queen, what Aunt Gu said...is it true?"
His breathing was heavy, and it seemed that he could feel his heart hurting even without taking a breath.
From the beginning to the end, he never doubted the queen.
The Queen was able to take up this position because of the instructions given by the late Queen before she left.
How could he not believe it?
But why, it was her!
The queen knelt down on the ground with a pop, tears streaming down her face: "Your Majesty, I am not the concubine, it is Aunt Gu. She is the one who talked nonsense and framed the concubine. I have always regarded Qing'er as my own son, how could I do this?
Is this what happened?"
The emperor closed his eyes.
He would rather this matter was a misunderstanding. After all, he believed in her too much and didn't want the queen to be such a wolf!
