If I continue to be cowardly, I am afraid that the position of prince belonging to Mo'er will be missed and fall into the hands of others. Once Xiao Xuanrui is allowed to take the position of prince, then the life of this palace and Mo'er will probably be even worse. of difficulty.”

Caiyan: "Empress, what are you going to do?"

The queen slowly clenched her fists, with a bit of determination flashing in her eyes... She stood up suddenly. But because she stood up too hard, she felt dizzy. Her body shook a few times. Caiyan immediately He stepped forward and held her arm. "Mother, are you okay?"

The queen bit her lip, her eyes filled with a dark glow. "I'm fine... Caiyan, go and help me do something. Remember not to make any noise and do it quietly... This matter is not allowed. Let anyone know, including King Mo."

There was a bit of hesitation in Caiyan's eyes. When she saw the Queen's unflinching gaze, she felt a lot of courage in her heart and nodded slowly in agreement. "Okay, I will obey. Whatever you want, I will do it." I'll help you do it..." - Zhao Waner has been waiting for the news that King Mo was convicted, taken to Dali Temple, convicted, and expelled from Kyoto. Who knows, she waited and waited, almost waiting All night long, there was no news. The father-in-law who was sent to announce the decree did not return at all. The more Zhao Waner thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She got up from the bed and was washing when suddenly Qing'er walked in from outside with a gloomy expression. "Mother, something bad has happened. Su Yuanzheng and his people asked to see the emperor outside the Chengxin Palace. He said yes, and he held a trial all night, and the case of King Mo was brought to the bottom of the matter. The person who killed Liu Shufen was not Mo. King, but someone else."

Zhao Waner's face became extremely ugly. She quickly asked Qing'er to put on her clothes, washed her face, and then hurried to Chengxin Palace. Today's Chengxin Palace is under the sole control of Eunuch Zhou. The father-in-law has been Zhao Waner's for a long time, so without Zhao Waner's consent, no one can enter to see the emperor. Su Yuan and others waited outside Chengxin Palace for a long time, but Eunuch Zhou did not let him go until Zhao Waner was arrested by the palace. People came over surrounded by people. Su Yuan quickly knelt down and greeted Zhao Waner. "I pay my respects to the noble concubine."

Zhao Waner looked at Su Yuan condescendingly. She glanced at Mrs. Zhang and others who were standing behind Su Yuan. A bit of coldness flashed across her eyes. "Master Su, the emperor is unwell and urgently needs to rest. You can take the people with you." Do you think it is really appropriate to disturb the Emperor like this?"

Su Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied cautiously: "Mom, calm down, I don't want to disturb Your Majesty, but this case has a lot to do with King Mo, I don't dare to make my own decision, so I have to I want to trouble His Majesty..." Zhao Waner snorted coldly, her eyes full of reproach. "Didn't King Mo's case be finalized yesterday? Mr. Su, didn't you see the imperial edict issued by the Emperor? King Mo took advantage of his power to bully others, took human life lightly, and committed crimes to the sky. Your Majesty deprived him of his throne and exiled him to Jiangzhou."

"I thought that Mr. Su would handle this matter beautifully with his intelligence. Who would have thought that one night later, not only did you fail to hold King Mo to account according to His Majesty's order, you actually dared to deliberately forge evidence to serve as King Mo's wife. Exonerate Su Yuan, what's going on, do you want to rebel and resist the decree?"

Su Yuan's face turned pale, and his body was trembling uncontrollably. Concubine Wan's resistance made him speechless. The emperor had indeed issued an imperial edict, but... that imperial edict had long been suppressed by King Yan. It's down. Has Concubine Wan not received the news yet? Su Yuan raised his head and boldly looked at Zhao Waner: "Your... Concubine, it's not that I want to resist the imperial edict... It's actually the imperial edict yesterday that was banished by the king. Defined as falsely preaching the imperial edict. He tore it up on the spot at the banquet for the king, and even punished the father-in-law who promulgated the edict."

"Didn't the father-in-law tell you about this?"

Zhao Waner's expression suddenly changed. She looked at Su Yuan in disbelief: "What? You said that Xiao Tingyan tore up the imperial edict and said in public that the edict was fake?"

Su Yuan nodded bravely: "For this reason, the father-in-law who announced the decree was slapped..." Zhao Waner's heart was full of shock. She turned to look at Qing'er: "Why didn't you notify me about this matter?"

Qing'er replied in a low voice with some anxiety: "Madam, I haven't received this news either. Why don't we ask Eunuch Zhou?"

Zhao Waner was extremely agitated, and she always felt that something was wrong. She asked Qing'er to find Eunuch Zhou quickly. Unexpectedly, Eunuch Zhou also didn't know anything about it. He looked at Zhao Waner with confusion on his face: "Mother, I don't know about this matter. Ah. Didn't you ask Miss Qing'er to do everything in her power? The father-in-law who announced the decree was the person Miss Qing'er found herself."

As soon as Eunuch Zhou finished speaking, someone from the palace suddenly ran in from the outside. He was holding a blood letter in his hand. "Mother, the Eunuch who came out of the palace yesterday...he hanged himself. The servant was in his On the desk, I saw the blood letter he left behind... It was said that he was forced by the empress to falsely convey the emperor's imperial edict."

"He was afraid of hurting his family and the nine clans. After returning to the palace, he wrote this blood letter with his own blood and then hanged himself."

Zhao Waner had a sullen face and stared at the dazzling blood letter full of anger. She was so angry that she tore the blood letter into pieces. "Asshole... no one knows about such a big thing happening? You trash, Are you all deaf or blind?"

Zhao Waner angrily threw the torn blood book into Qing'er's face. Qing'er knelt down on the ground with a bang, kowtowed hard and begged for mercy. Eunuch Zhou also knelt down, lowered his head and said nothing. Xiao Tingyan At some point, Xiao Xuanmo walked in from the outside. He chuckled and looked at the farce in front of him: "My dear concubine, the people under your command falsely spread the imperial edict... What do you think should be the crime?"

A bit of surprise flashed across Zhao Waner's eyes, and she raised her head to look at Xiao Tingyan. Behind Xiao Tingyan, there were many old ministers and lonely ministers. They all looked at Zhao Waner with burning eyes, and everyone's eyes were filled with accountability and dissatisfaction. .Zhao Waner's face turned pale: "Well, that is not a false imperial edict...the imperial edict does indeed come from the emperor. If you don't believe it, you can go in and ask the emperor in person."

She was confident. The emperor was poisoned now, and his life was in her hands. He would definitely not dare to resist everything she said. Xiao Tingyan looked at her confident look, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes. She really thought that , no one knows about the things she has done? As everyone knows, she has long been a piece of fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. Zhao Waner did not panic at all, she personally led these people into the inner hall of Chengxin Palace. Who knew that as soon as she stepped into the inner hall, she saw Xiao Xuanrui holding a bowl of soup and carefully feeding it to the emperor. The emperor's eyes looked at Xiao Xuanrui, full of tenderness. Xiao Xuanrui's whole person was much less sharp. He was much more gentle and elegant. He said nothing, concentrating on feeding the emperor the decoction, as if he didn't care about everything around him. Zhao Waner's eyes were full of surprise, and she hurried over. "Ruier, when are you going to do it?" Returning to the palace? Why didn’t I know about it? Didn’t these servants know that I was informed?”

She walked up to Xiao Xuanrui, held his arm with concern on her face, and looked up and down. There was some distress in her eyes: "I haven't seen you for so long, you have lost weight. Have you eaten? A lot of suffering?”

"Rui'er, from now on you must cultivate your moral character and help your father do a good job. You must not act arbitrarily or go astray again."

Xiao Xuanrui's attitude towards Zhao Waner was very alienated. He avoided Zhao Waner's touch and bowed respectfully to her. "My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine... I dare not disobey my mother and concubine's teachings. In In the past few months in Jinzhou, I have learned a lot, and I can rest assured that I will never make the same stupid mistakes again."

Zhao Waner was startled. There was nothing wrong with Xiao Xuanrui's words, but the way he looked at her was extremely cold. It seemed that they were not mother and son, but strangers with distinct classes. This feeling made Zhao Waner extremely uncomfortable. . She frowned slightly and held Xiao Xuanrui's hand again: "Rui'er..." Before she could finish her sentence, Xiao Xuanrui avoided her touch again and took two steps back: "I still want to feed my father. Drink the medicine... Please wait a moment, concubine."

Then, he sat down again, picked up the soup bowl, pinched the spoon, and fed the emperor some medicine. The emperor glanced at Zhao Waner's ugly face, and an imperceptible coldness flashed across his eyes. Then, he turned his head and looked not far away. Everyone standing. "Why are you all here? What happened?"

Su Yuan immediately told Liu Shufen's case in detail. As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor was extremely surprised and said: "Why didn't I know that such a big thing happened? Someone dared to frame King Mo. ?Is there anyone who dares to forge an imperial edict? I am sick and not feeling well, so do some people think that I am dead?"

Zhao Waner opened her eyes wide and looked up at the Emperor in disbelief. "Your Majesty...you know this...why do you say you don't know? Moreover, you personally issued the edict...it's above It’s still stamped with your jade seal.”
