"If you can overturn even such conclusive evidence, how will others view Prince An in the future? How will they respect the majesty of my royal family?!"
"The members of the royal family can be poisoned easily without being punished or convicted. Then from now on, anyone can poison and murder my members of the royal family?!"
The Queen Mother's majestic voice was full of powerful momentum, causing the Emperor's face to change repeatedly, and he was unable to refute for a moment.
But what he was thinking about at this moment was, how could Concubine Xu Bei be so useless? ! He didn't do it cleanly even though he was poisoning, and he was even caught red-handed! Even the witnesses and physical evidence were obtained!
How could he overturn this matter? !
What a waste!
The Queen Mother and the Emperor didn't stay in the palace for long, and soon the Emperor came out with a gloomy and terrifying look on his face, which showed that they parted on bad terms.
Soon, everyone in the palace knew that the emperor and the queen mother had a big fight over the poisoning of Princess An.
After all, the Queen Mother started training directly when the emperor entered the Cining Palace. In addition, the emperor's face was so ugly when he left, who can't guess what happened?
As for the outcome of this quarrel, everyone knew it, because the Queen Mother's decree was still on the imperial list, and the emperor did not order anyone to withdraw.
Obviously, the Queen Mother won.
For a moment, everyone felt a little confused. Everyone became cautious about the Queen Mother, who had been silent for a long time, and no longer dared to ignore her.
The Queen Mother had made it clear before that she ignored the government affairs and stayed deep in the palace, so there was not much news. But this time she took action and even the emperor was unable to compete with her. This shows that she is not as dead as some people thought.
Moreover, the Queen Mother's strong move this time also made many courtiers and family members suspicious. Is the Queen Mother's move to stand in front of the court again, or is it just to give justice to Prince An and his wife?
Everyone once again focused their attention on Cining Palace. However, after the Queen Mother took strong action to deal with the matter, there was no movement again. She only announced that the concubine Xu in front of her would be beheaded a month later.
The Queen Mother made up her mind to kill Xu!
This news still surprised many people. Most of them originally thought that even if the emperor could not reverse the matter, there would be no problem in saving Mrs. Xu's life, but they did not expect that Mrs. Xu was still going to die.
After all, the poisoning of Princess An was discovered in time, so it was not a serious problem. Generally speaking, if the result is not serious, given Xu's background, it should not be beheaded, but the Queen Mother still did it Such a decision.
However, the execution of Xu was postponed for a month, and it was hard to say what would happen during this period, so maybe there would be a turn for the better.
Many people are waiting and watching the follow-up of this matter, because everyone feels that this matter may not be over yet...
Xu's matter was handled very quickly, catching many people off guard. Even Xu's biological son, Wu Zhengqing, who was not affected yet, did not react.
If the Xu family's affairs are the biggest topic in the capital recently, then Wu Zhengqing is second only to her.
On the day Xu was arrested, Wu Zhengqing didn't even return to the palace. Coupled with Luo Tong's deliberate blocking of the news, he didn't even know that such a big thing had happened in the palace.
It was not until the next day, when the imperial list was announced and the whole capital was spreading the news, that Wu Zhengqing was awakened by his friends from the gentle village of the brothel.
After learning about this, Wu Zhengqing rushed to the palace without even having time to sort out his clothes. But when he returned to the West Courtyard, where was his biological mother? Even the entire west courtyard has changed drastically!
The entire west courtyard was full of guards, and the main house where the Xu family lived was directly blocked. No one was allowed to enter, not even Wu Zhengqing!
It's useless no matter how bad he behaves, no one pays attention to him at all!
In addition, many places in the west courtyard were under guard. Only Wu Zhengqing's own courtyard was still fine. Because this incident did not affect him, he was not affected.
However, Wu Zhengqing also discovered a problem, that is, the West Courtyard was missing many servants! Much!
All the respectable servants in the past have disappeared, leaving behind only the low-status menial servants. Wu Zhengqing knew without even thinking that these people must have been captured by Dongyuan!
Wu Zhengqing suddenly felt anxious. Some of the servants who served him personally knew a lot of secrets!
If this person fails to withstand the torture and exposes some of his master's secrets, is there any chance of turning over? !
Wu Zhengqing was so anxious that he turned around and ran towards the east courtyard, directly heading towards Shaoguang Pavilion.
But he couldn't pass the gate guard of Shaoguang Pavilion at all. No matter how loud or noisy he was, it was useless. In the end, Luo Tong took the initiative to let him in.
Luo Tong wanted to see if he could dig out any more useful information from Wu Zhengqing's mouth, but Wu Zhengqing just kept making troubles and was so slippery that he had no way of starting.
Wu Zechen, who finally came back, beat up Wu Zhengqing and threw him out of Shaoguang Pavilion.
Luo Tong couldn't help but laugh when he thought that Wu Zhengqing, with his funny face and bruised nose, was lifted up from Shaoguang Pavilion by Wu Zechen like a chicken.
"You are still laughing, why did you let him in? What if he hurts you? If he is so troublesome, just have him beaten out. With me supporting you, let's see who dares to cause trouble for you!"
Wu Zechen returned to Luo Tong with a straight face, but after all he couldn't bear to hurt her, so he gently wrapped his arms around her body and hugged her gently.
Luo Tong knew that he was worried about him, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "I was just ready to let Lindong take action, but I didn't expect you to come back at such a coincidence, but the way you beat someone just now was so handsome!"
When he heard his beloved woman praising him, the corners of Wu Zechen's originally tense mouth couldn't help but rise, and his expression softened.
Luo Tong couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. This man was so easy to coax.
"He is quite alert. He didn't reveal anything just now. Let's see what he will do next. Have you sent anyone to follow him?"
"Don't worry, I've followed you. Just now, a secret guard noticed someone secretly guarding the door outside. He might be waiting for Wu Zhengqing." Wu Zechen nodded.
"It depends on what the other party will do next. The old witch has found a lot of information, and the servants who are serving her will definitely know something. Now that we have caught them all, they will definitely be unable to sit still. Stop." Luo Tong curled his lips and sneered.
"No matter what they do, they will just struggle to death!" Wu Zechen's eyes were condensed, with an icy chill.
A lot of important information has been mastered this time, and combined with what was collected before, it is enough to achieve the goal. The reason why Wu Zhengqing and those people were asked to take action was just to see what the purpose of their recent changes was.
