Before the emperor finished speaking, he received a cold look from the Queen Mother. That cold look made the emperor's next words choke in his throat.
The emperor said in a roundabout way that the queen mother did not care about the overall situation and only considered the cause of her youngest son's death. How could the queen mother not hear it?
She even kept emphasizing that she was the emperor, implying that the Queen Mother had overstepped her bounds...
The Queen Mother's eyes were full of disappointment and ridicule. She helped the Emperor sit on the throne. Even shortly after the Emperor ascended the throne, she took the initiative to delegate power, quit the previous dynasty, and rested in Cining Palace. But where was the Emperor? ?
"Your Majesty is now making a decision. You don't even listen to the evidence, and you just look at people's actions?" The Queen Mother's words were like sharp knives, and the Emperor's face immediately darkened.
"Since Princess An dared to say this in public, there is certainly evidence. The emperor didn't even listen and directly concluded that Princess An was slandering or slandering? When did the judgment of the case become so subjective?"
The emperor's face turned as red as pig liver, and the corners of his lips pulled down, obviously very angry.
The Queen Mother ignored him and turned to look at Luo Tong: "Tong'er, continue!"
Listening to the Queen Mother's increasingly merciless words, everyone in the palace felt uneasy. Looking at the Queen Mother's strength today, many people noticed the clues. The Queen Mother was different from usual...
Could it be that the Queen Mother is going to step out of Cining Palace again?
Seeing that the Queen Mother was so powerful today, the Emperor was even inferior in terms of momentum, and many people showed uneasiness...
"Of course I won't slander people without any basis." Luo Tong sarcastically said, "Master Xu's secret business is really big, spread all over the southwest and north. If it weren't for Xu's recent actions, It’s not small, maybe we won’t find it yet.”
Master Xu was still angry at first, but when he heard the second half of Luo Tong's sentence, he immediately froze.
"The Xu family has quite a relationship with the witch doctors of many Miao villages in the southwest. I heard that those witch doctors have a lot of rare poisons on their hands. I guess it's not too difficult for Mr. Xu to get something from them. Disaster."
Although Luo Tong said these words to Mr. Xu, his eyes were fixed on Concubine De. Her natal family was the Southwest Yue family, the maternal clan of the third prince, King Qin!
When Prince An was given that strange poison, part of the poison mixed in it was provided by Yue Family!
Although Luo Tong and Wu Zechen both wanted revenge, they also knew that it was impossible to involve all the families at once, as the impact would be too great.
After much consideration, this time, they do not plan to take action against others...
With Luo Tong staring at her like this, Concubine De immediately understood what she meant. Her face turned slightly pale, and she bit her lip tightly, pretending not to know anything, and not daring to reveal anything strange at all.
Today, the people from Prince An's Mansion have made it clear that they want to kill a few people. Even the Queen Mother has shown strength that she has not shown for many years. How dare she take the lead at this time?
So what if Luo Tong is watching? As long as she didn't mention him by name, she would just pretend she didn't know what was going on!
Concubine De's pretended calmness and Luo Tong's pointed gaze all fell into the eyes of the Queen Mother.
Her eyes darkened, and she instantly understood what Luo Tong meant -
What a trip!
What an emperor! The eldest son she loved the most!
At this point, what else does the Queen Mother not understand?
The Xu family poisoned Prince Lao An to death. The poison used was mixed poison, which not only implicated the Xu family, but also the Yue family in the southwest.
In addition, Luo Tong specifically mentioned just now that the poison also contains rare poisons from the north. Obviously, this matter has something to do with the Zheng family and Wu family in the north!
And the most important thing is that the Xu family was forced into Prince An's Mansion by the emperor back then! In recent years, the emperor has obviously been very biased towards the Xu family and their children!
She didn't want to believe that the eldest son would attack the youngest son, such as fratricide, but the reality forced her to believe it!
At this time, the Queen Mother had connected everything in her mind, and there were bursts of sorrow in her eyes, for the poor young son who died tragically, and for the cold-blooded eldest son...
"I don't know what the princess is talking about. I don't have the ability to do so far in the southwest, and I don't want the princess to have such good means to open stores all over the country."
Mr. Xu didn't notice the Queen Mother's strange behavior, and still said sophistry, how dare he admit it?
Luo Tong noticed the Queen Mother's silence and her heart full of scars beneath her cold and hard expression.
But no matter how much she couldn't bear it, she still had to tell the matter. Firstly, it was for the sake of the late Prince Lao An, and secondly, the Queen Mother had the right to know the truth of the matter.
Although he will be sad, Luo Tong knows that the Queen Mother's strong heart will definitely be able to withstand it, not to mention Luo Tong believes that the Queen Mother will definitely want to know the truth.
"Master Xu is so humble, but the truth will be revealed in two days, because those witch doctors are already on their way to the capital, and will be personally escorted by General Xi!"
"I believe they will be protected by General Xi and the army, and they will be able to reach the capital safely!"
Luo Tong stared at Mr. Xu with cold eyes, and saw an expression of disbelief on his face, and his face turned even whiter!
Mr. Xu never imagined that Luo Tong could find all those witch doctors and secretly bring them to the capital!
"Master Xu, do you have anything else to argue with now?"
As soon as Luo Tong finished speaking, before Mr. Xu could speak, the Queen Mother said angrily: "Come here! Drag down the criminal who murdered the prince! He will be executed together with the poisonous woman tomorrow!"
"Queen Mother!"
"Queen mother! No!"
Mr. Xu turned pale with shock and exclaimed with a pale face. The emperor beside him couldn't sit still anymore and hurriedly spoke to stop it!
"Mother! There must be a misunderstanding! How could Mr. Xu do such a thing? It must be the Xu family who took it upon herself to take advantage of Mr. Xu's connections to get the poison, and then harmed Mr. Xu!"
The emperor didn't mention the witch doctors, and just pinned all the charges on Xu.
Obviously, at this time, we can only give up the chess piece of the Xu family and save Mr. Xu!
"Let's see. Xu's treatment is in accordance with the mother's wishes and the culprit is punished. I think the emperor's brother can also rest in peace."
The emperor hurriedly wanted to settle the matter, but it was obvious that neither the Queen Mother nor Luo Tong would let it go.
"Can your imperial brother really rest in peace?!" The Queen Mother said word by word, her eyes fixed on the Emperor, and a deep chill filled her heart.
It was clear that he had wielded the butcher's knife against his own brother!
Luo Tong spoke immediately, but what he said made even the emperor change his face: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has done more than just killing his father in these years."
"As I said just now, Mr. Xu has been very busy these years, busy moving the treasury to his own house!"
