Now that the matter is over, Yan Xiu can figure it out without Fu Zhu telling him what he found through Ebony Gai.
The Queen Mother drank bowl after bowl of mysterious tonics, and her face looked much younger for no reason, all of which showed the effect of Miao Xinjiang's secret method on her face.
However, Fu Zhu peeled off the details and found out the pattern. On the last night when she was about to realize her dream, she captured Luo Yang in Jia Mansion, completely ending her dream of everlasting beauty.
The serial murder case was not that Luo Yang was trapped in love and killed the innocent girl. It was simply a murder committed for her own selfishness.
Therefore, she needs to continuously take Zihe Che for the rest of her life, otherwise she will turn into a hideous monster.
But Fu Zhu accidentally bumped into this matter again, and he keenly found out the final truth.
Yan Xiu: "Where is Ebony Gai now?"
Fu Zhu: "I have led people to arrest him and put him in a prison."
Yan Xiu: "Well, let him die how those innocent women died."
The implication is that there is no reason for Fu Zhu to make this matter public, and he wants to execute Wu Mu Gai secretly, without even giving him a chance to testify against the Queen Mother.
Fu Zhu frowned secretly: "Your Majesty, Kechen believes that the relatives of the deceased have the right to know the truth of this matter, and -"
Yan Xiu had a splitting headache. He stretched out his hand to cover his dark eyebrows, making it difficult for people to see his expression. He weakly interrupted Fu Zhudao: "Everyone, please step aside first."
After all, the Queen Mother is his biological mother, and as a mortal, no matter how wise he is in matters of family and country, he will still have his own selfish motives.
Moreover, this matter is related to the royal family’s face and statement and should not be dealt with lightly.
After Fu Zhu and others left the palace, Zhu Sijia walked behind Yan Xiu and wanted to stretch out her fingers to massage him as usual. Yan Xiu pushed her hand away, his voice was hoarse, and the words burst out of his throat with great difficulty, faint and painful:
"Cicada, you go back first."
Zhu Sijia was worried about him: "Xuanzhi, do you really don't want me to accompany you?"
Yan Xiu shook his head: "There are some things that I need to be alone with, so don't worry about it."
Zhu Sijia could understand Yan Xiu's mood when such a big event happened.
Although she wanted to be by Yan Xiu's side and accompany him through every time when he was most lonely, helpless, and at a loss, she also understood that there would always be times when people needed to overcome it on their own and when others could not intervene in the cause and effect.
I wish Scarlett didn't worry too much and left quietly.
…
The next day, Yan Xiu officially announced to the world that the Queen Mother was immoral and was confined to Zhangtai Palace that day and was never allowed to go out.
Zhangtai Palace dismissed the palace staff, leaving only an old nun and a 16-year-old young eunuch to take care of the Queen Mother until her death.
Everyone else will be assigned to various places in the palace, or they can choose to leave the palace and go home.
Although the Queen Mother is difficult to serve, she has shown no mercy when it comes to rewarding her subordinates over the years. Most of the people in Zhangtai Palace have already earned enough money to live comfortably for a lifetime, and they all go back to their bedrooms to tidy up their belongings with smiles on their faces.
Only Hongmei was reluctant to leave, and did not choose to take other people's palace errands. Everyone thought that she would stay and continue to be loyal to the Queen Mother.
But she didn't expect that the moment the imperial edict reached Zhangtai Palace, she walked up to Hu Shunhai with a cold face, stood side by side with him, and looked at the Queen Mother coldly.
The scar on her forehead that was hit by the Queen Mother had healed long ago. The scar was really ugly, so Hongmei endured the pain and carved it into a blooming blood plum with her own hands.
The sun was bright and the wind was clear outside the house, and the plum blossoms on her forehead seemed to be poking out, making her beautiful.
The Queen Mother was originally heartbroken. Today's imperial edict came out of nowhere. She didn't even have time to be angry with Yan Xiu, but she was so excited that the Zhangtai palace wall fell down and everyone pushed her to the point of collapse.
Seeing that Hongmei was still willing to stay, she trembled happily and said:
"Hongmei, the Ai family knows that the Ai family does not love you in vain..."
"The Queen Mother." Hongmei smiled lightly and touched her forehead, "My subordinate's mission has been completed and I can't stay with you. You should take care of yourself in the cold palace from now on."
Hu Shunhai smiled: "I would like to welcome Miss Hongmei to successfully complete her mission and return to Yanxue Tower."
The Queen Mother was in disbelief: "Yan, Yanxuelou, you are the Dragon Guard? How can you be the Dragon Guard!"
If Hongmei is really the dragon guard placed by Yan Xiu, wouldn't Yan Xiu know everything about her and Chen Rang, her every move in Zhangtai Palace and even her daily diet?
Then Yan Xiu would skin her and Chen Rang!
Hongmei said humbly: "This subordinate is not talented, but His Majesty personally selected the Dragon Guard to enter the Yanxue Tower. The Empress Dowager will never see you again."
The Queen Mother wanted to rush forward and grab her, but was stopped by the Imperial Guards. She collapsed and shouted:
"Let Aijia go! Aijia wants to see His Majesty, Aijia wants to see His Majesty! Aijia is the Empress Dowager of Qin, the biological mother of today's emperor, how dare you treat Aijia like this..."
The Queen Mother's heart-rending cry sounded from behind Hongmei, and she strode forward and never looked back.
…
When Zhu Sijia heard the news of Yan Xiu's complete break with the Queen Mother, she was just slightly stunned.
She didn't know much about the relationship between Yan Xiu and the Queen Mother, or what happened between mother and son, but she could understand any decision Yan Xiu made.
Everyone said that he had no heart and no feelings, but Zhu Sijia thought that Yan Xiu was the most affectionate person in the world.
Even though the Queen Mother was lawless and regarded human life as nothing, he still chose to retain the last bit of dignity for her and chose to hide the matter from the public.
Even going against his principles.
As soon as this decision was made, even if the Queen Mother had made many big mistakes in the past, no one knew the truth. The history books would still write that Yan Xiu was an unfilial emperor. Even those who had been with the old party The courtiers who were incompatible with each other would frequently give him advice.
He has to bear all the rumors alone.
Zhu Sijia was worried about Yan Xiu. After putting down her accounts, she immediately put on her cloak and prepared to go out. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiu took the initiative to come to Changle Palace.
Yan Xiu pulled her to sit down, slowly ran his fingers over the neat handwriting she left on the paper, and teased her with a half-smile: "Cicada is becoming more and more like a virtuous queen."
Zhu Sijia didn't want to joke with him now. She threw herself into Yan Xiu's arms, hugged him tightly, and choked with sobs: "Your Majesty."
Yan Xiu pinched her chin: "Why are you crying? I praise you, are you still not happy?"
Zhu Sijia: "Your Majesty clearly knows what I am worried about."
Yan Xiu smiled and said: "What is there to worry about? I am the emperor."
Zhu Scarlett shed tears silently and said nothing.
Yan Xiu grabbed her hand, looked at Rou Xi repeatedly, and said, "I have been thinking that Cicada's handwriting is good, how could there be rumors in the past that you were even illiterate."
It's really hateful.
Zhu Sijia took back her hand: "Your Majesty also knows that rumors harm people, why do you still..."
Yan Xiu: "Instead of worrying about these posthumous matters, you might as well think about what kind of birthday gift you want to give to Marquis Guangping this year."
Yes, the Princess Mansion is holding another birthday banquet.
