But... Aunt Gu was the maid that the Queen brought into the palace to marry, so she had no reason to frame her!
"Queen, how can I trust you?" The emperor opened his eyes and asked expressionlessly.
The queen's body softened and she lay on the ground. She shook her head and looked sad: "Your Majesty, I am really not my concubine. I am innocent..."
She must not admit it, because if she did, she would definitely not be able to save her life.
Your Majesty will not let her go.
"Mother," Nan Chiyou turned to look at Feng Ruqing, "Murong Qing has been weak since he was a child and has often been sick. People from the Changqing Kingdom said that Kao's flowers can help him improve his physical condition. Is this true?"
Feng Ruqing was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said: "Kao's flowers can strengthen the body, but only for healthy people. If the person's constitution is already weak, it will only make him weaker."
The emperor, who was already filled with sorrow, froze again after hearing these words.
Endless anger surged into his heart, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Go and bring the Imperial Master!"
The Imperial Preceptor of the Changqing Kingdom was an old man. During this time, he was thinking sadly about how to deal with Kao. Unexpectedly, His Majesty suddenly sent an order for him to go to the Prince's Mansion. His heart suddenly skipped a beat and he felt something bad.
So he walked nervously all the way, and when he saw the courtyard full of people, especially the queen kneeling on the ground, he felt even more panicked.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"Tell me!" the emperor said angrily, "Why did you deceive Qing'er, saying that King Kao could cure his illness, and trick him into going to the wilderness!"
The Imperial Master was so frightened that his legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground and said with tears: "Your Majesty, please spare your life. It was the Queen who heard that Kao was guarded by the Wolf King, and wanted to trick His Highness into passing away and letting him die in the belly of a wolf. The Queen threatened the minister,
I dare not disobey, and I beg your majesty to spare my life..."
Every time the imperial master said a word, the emperor's heart became colder and even a little painful.
He thought of the time when the Queen was worried about Qing'er and wanted to go find him. He was also moved by the Queen's thoughtfulness.
Now that I think about it, she might have wanted to collect Qing'er's body...
How ridiculous!
"Queen, what else do you have to say now?" The emperor looked at the queen coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The queen closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears fell from her eyes.
After a while, she opened her eyes with a sneer on her lips.
"Obviously I met you first, but why do you only have eyes for her? Why am I inferior to her, but you have always been infatuated with her, and you only treat me with respect."
"Why? We are sisters, why can she have such a person who loves her deeply and I have nothing? I am not willing to accept it. There is nothing I can't do compared to her!"
Therefore, she hated Murong Qing and resented everyone related to the late empress.
Even now, she doesn't feel like she's at fault, it's all their fault.
If His Majesty could be more affectionate with her, she would not be like this.
Everyone in the world thought that His Majesty protected her and loved her, but only she knew that His Majesty and she were at best respectful to each other and had no affection as husband and wife.
This kind of life is not what she wants...
The emperor was shocked. He had never thought that the queen would hold so much hatred.
It was obvious that their relationship was very good back then, but why has it developed to this extent now?
Feng Ruqing turned to look at the queen: "Did you have a share in framing Xia Xia?"
There was a sarcastic smile on the queen's lips: "She doesn't listen to me. I just want an obedient person to come to the prince's palace. No matter who that person is."
