The next second, the palace maid next to her brought a bowl of dark medicine. The medicine residue floated on the surface of the bowl, and Xie Minghua staggered.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Xie Minghua's face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes and fell silent, spitting out a few breathtaking words:
"The queen loses her virtue and is demoted to a commoner. She will never enter the imperial city."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... No, Your Majesty..."
Xie Minghua's tears fell, and she held Xiao Yan's clothes tightly, her voice filled with endless sincerity: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I have never done those things, I was framed! I beg the Emperor to see clearly and give me a clean slate!"
Her tears wet Xiao Yan's dragon robe. He frowned slightly, but did not push her away. Her voice echoed in the empty hall, carrying endless pleading and despair.
"I have always been loyal and devoted to the Emperor. I have never had a second thought! Your Majesty, you cannot just listen to the slander and demote me to a commoner!"
Her voice gradually choked up, and her tears fell like broken beads. Her struggle and pleading only received Xiao Yan's cold eyes and ruthless determination.
A sneer curled up at the corner of Xiao Yan's lips. He looked at the woman he once loved in front of him without any pity in his heart.
"Unjustly accused?" He sneered, "The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it?"
With such a big cuckold, is it possible that he, Xiao Yan, had to show it to the public and tell the world about it?
My own queen, messing around with others.
Moreover, the target is the regent!
His royal uncle?
Xie Minghua was speechless. She knew that the emperor had made up his mind.
"Ms. Xie, drink it!" Fu Haiquan smiled and took out a bowl of dark medicine. This was the poisonous wine given by the emperor. Xie Minghua closed her eyes resignedly, and two lines of clear tears fell down the corners of her eyes. .
"Concubine, thank you Lord for your kindness." Her voice trembled slightly, filled with endless bitterness and despair.
Fu Haiquan picked up the poisoned wine with satisfaction and was about to hand it to Xie Minghua when he saw her eyes suddenly open with a flash of determination and fearlessness.
"Wait a minute." She raised her chin and said decisively, "I want to take a bath and change my clothes, and go to see my ancestors under the nine springs in the cleanest manner."
Fuhai slapped his hands together and silently asked Xiao Yan for instructions.
Xiao Yan was silent and slowly spoke:
"It's all dirty, are you still clean? Fu Haiquan, pack up and go back to the palace to report!"
Xie Minghua staggered, and the phoenix on the phoenix robe seemed to have lost its color.
"Dirty... dirty! Haha, hehe... Hahaha, hahaha..." The whole Yongshou Palace was filled with Xie Minghua's red-eared laughter. Fuhai ordered several eunuchs to grab Xie Minghua's limbs and hold them up with one hand. Xie Minghua's face was filled with coldness, "Xie is so immoral that she dares to hang out with others under the eyes of the emperor and ruin the royal customs..."
Xie Minghua suddenly became quiet. Her eyes widened and she stared directly at Fu Haiquan, with a mocking smile on her lips.
"Eunuch Fu, what do you think you are? You are just a eunuch. You have climbed to where you are today by relying on flattery."
Her words were sharp and harsh, piercing Fu Haiquan's heart like a knife.
"Although I, Xie Minghua, have been ruined, I am an upright queen. As an eunuch, what qualifications do you have to point fingers in front of me?"
She spat suddenly at Fu Haiquan's face. Fu Haiquan could not avoid it and could only bear the humiliating blow.
"Bah! Are you worthy?" Xie Minghua laughed coldly, with endless contempt and sadness in her smile, "Today, Xie Minghua would rather die than accept this unwarranted charge."
Several eunuchs did not hold down, and forced Xie Minghua to hit the big pillar of Yongshou Palace. There was a muffled sound, and Xie Minghua's blood splashed all over the ground, and the bright red color was dazzling.
The corners of Xiao Yan's eyes twitched violently, and he turned his head away, not wanting to see this bloody scene again.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call the imperial doctor?" Fu Haiquan asked cautiously. Seeing Xiao Yan's silence, he quietly glanced at Xie Minghua on the ground, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.
This woman, Xie Minghua, had stayed with the emperor for so many years and had always been favored. Now she finally met this end.
"Your Majesty?" Fu Haiquan called softly, and Xiao Yan came back to his senses. He looked at Fu Haiquan with complex eyes, "It is my will that Queen Xie, for the crime of immorality, commit suicide in Yongshou Palace. Order Let the Prime Minister take her back!"
"yes."
Fu Haiquan retreated silently, and Xie Minghua's body was also sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Xie Minghua was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was already naked and bloody.
All the clothes and accessories on her body were looted, and even the maids and concubines in various palaces who had been suppressed and bullied by Xie Minghua couldn't help but bully her.
Her phoenix robe had long since become tattered and her body was not covered. The nobility and pride she had once evaporated at this moment.
Xie Mingyuan stood at the door of the house, looking at his daughter's miserable condition coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips.
"It's an insult to the family tradition, it's an insult to the family tradition." He said coldly, without any pity or heartache.
Fu Haiquan just stood at the door, "Xie Xiang, since Xie has sent her back, my father-in-law will return to the palace to resume his life!"
"Wait." Xie Mingyuan quickly called Fu Haiquan and silently stuffed a large bag of gold ingots into Fu Haiquan's hands.
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Fu, thank you so much, Your Majesty..."
Fu Haiquan was also a sensible person, so he left with his fly whisk in the air.
After Xie Mingyuan left,
Leaning over his daughter, he tried hard to cover his eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.
"Hua'er, how could you end up in this situation..." His voice was choked with sobs, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
However, no matter how heartbroken he was, the fact had happened and could not be changed.
He weakly closed his daughter's eyes, and those once smart and charming eyes could no longer be opened.
"Daddy will avenge you, please rest in peace."
Xie Mingyuan stood up silently, his back looking so desolate and lonely.
Behind him, Xie Minghua's body was sent to the mourning hall.
In the Yongshou Palace, Xiao Yan looked at the empty hall, feeling an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.
"Your Majesty?" Fu Haiquan asked in a low voice before bringing Xiao Yan back to reality.
"Has everything been taken care of?"
"Well, Prime Minister Xie sent the second lady to take care of you."
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, "That old fox can't wait any longer, so let's take her to Yongshou Palace and make her a concubine!"
Xie Shuyi, Xie Mingyuan's second daughter.
She has an upper-class appearance and is well-educated. The only difference from Xie Minghua is that Xie Shuyi is a collateral wife and is not welcomed in the Xie family.
"Tch, the emperor said he liked the queen, but didn't he rush to die as well? Now that he has been granted the title of Concubine Shu, what will happen next?"
Tang Nian lowered his head silently as he watched the pharmacists at Tai Hospital talking about it.
Thinking of the mission that the eldest lady entrusted to me, even if she dies, my family will still be under the hands of the Xie family...
Thinking of this, Tang Nian packed up the medicinal materials and immediately slipped out of the hospital.
