Before the queen could finish her words, she was interrupted by the palace maid who rushed in from outside.
She looked coldly at the palace maid, who was so frightened that she trembled and said lowly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, General Lu has something important to report."
Lu Hanxiao had just been ordered to investigate the rebellion against the enemy. This was a major matter, so the emperor would not delay.
He took the lead to walk out of the courtyard, but the queen did not follow him. Instead, she looked at Si Ning coldly and said.
"Mrs. Lu, I urge you to finally tell the truth about everything you have done. If you are found out, not only will you be unlucky, but General Lu's face will also be damaged. If you admit this, Yes, I can guarantee you a way to survive. It’s not a big deal if you accidentally hurt Concubine Shu, General Lu will try his best to save you."
These words are like coaxing a three-year-old child, hurting the emperor's concubine, who can save her?
Even if the emperor didn't pursue Lu Hanxiao too much for Lu Hanxiao's sake, the Marquis of Ning'an still had to give an explanation to Concubine Shu's family.
Si Ning looked at the queen with a sneer and replied coldly.
"My wife has something unclear, and I would like to ask the Queen for advice."
The queen raised her eyebrows and said, "Say."
Si Ning, "The Queen keeps asking me to plead guilty. For what reason? Is it good for the Queen to be unlucky for my wife and Concubine Shu?"
The queen was furious, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you mean that I am framing you?"
Si Ning was still respectful and humble, "I don't dare. I only know that no one in this world will do something thankless. If the Queen has no intention, why take the risk of offending my wife and the Marquis of Ning'an?" I have to give an explanation to Concubine Shu, as far as I know, the empress has not yet shown enough sympathy to Concubine Shu!"
"presumptuous!"
"I think you are the one who is presumptuous!"
The emperor went and came back, with anger clearly on his face when he came in.
The queen didn't know why. When she saw the emperor walking towards her, she was about to come forward and slapped him.
The queen looked at the emperor with a shocked face, full of surprise.
She entered the second prince's house at the age of fifteen. At that time, the emperor was just an unpopular prince, and they had a period of love.
Later, the emperor received the blessing of the eldest princess and successfully ascended the throne, and the relationship between them also changed.
The replacement of the old with the new was inevitable, but even with so many newcomers, the emperor never disliked her or said a harsh word to her, and now he beat her in full view of everyone.
The queen had anger in her eyes, but she still knelt on the ground pitifully and begged for mercy with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please calm down, the dragon body is important."
The palace maids and eunuchs were kneeling on the floor in the courtyard. The emperor suppressed his anger and sent them away, telling them to stay away and not to approach them at will.
In order to avoid suspicion, Si Ning also left Qingyan Palace on his own initiative. When he walked outside the door, he saw Lu Hanxiao returning with his troops.
Seeing her standing in front of him safe and sound, Lu Hanxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked up to her in a few steps and held her in his arms.
Si Ning was startled and wanted to push him away, but Lu Hanxiao murmured.
"It's okay."
Si Ning's hand moved for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize that Lu Hanxiao was the first to let go of her.
"Is it hurt anywhere?"
Si Ning shook his head, "It's just that Concubine Shu's condition is not very good."
Lu Hanxiao didn't care that Concubine Shu had nothing to do with him. If today's matter didn't involve Si Ning, he wouldn't even ask.
Now when Si Ning mentioned it, he just nodded casually, and then carefully checked her condition. When he saw that she was really fine, he was completely relieved.
He held Si Ning tightly and stood at the door, waiting for any movement inside.
There was the sound of something breaking inside, followed by the emperor's roar.
"Even now, you are still arguing with me. I don't even know that the person sleeping next to me is a woman like you."
The emperor was really angry. He knew that several of the princes had long been unable to tolerate it. They often did cliques and selfish things in private, but he mostly turned a blind eye.
The reason why he has not established a prince is because he wants to choose the final winner.
Daxia is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface, and there are already many problems inside, so he needs a strong person to fulfill his long-cherished wish.
But what he didn't expect was that someone had a second thought and united with the Turks. This kind of collaboration with the enemy and the country was actually the work of his queen.
How can the emperor not be angry, "You are really my good queen. I haven't died yet. You can't wait for your son to find foreign aid and plan to take over my position. Next, are you going to poison me and give way to that beast?" Location?"
The queen cried so hard that she crawled to the emperor's feet and tried to explain.
"Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. I don't know what you said?"
"I don't know. I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Take a good look at it yourself."
The emperor threw all the letters in his hand at the queen's face. The queen picked them up tremblingly and looked at them one by one. The more she looked at them, the more frightened she became.
These letters are all correspondence with the enemy country. If it is confirmed that these letters are all written by her, this will be a serious crime. Even if she is the queen, she will not be immune.
"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation. Even if you borrowed some courage from me, I would not dare to do such a thing. This is obviously someone trying to sow discord between me and you."
"Do you want to say Han Xiao, Liu Aishu, do you think I am a fool? What was your plan for leading Mrs. Lu and Concubine Shu there? I won't expose you, but I still want to save some face for you, but I won’t let this matter go like this.”
The queen collapsed, and the emperor knew that he knew everything.
But the queen knew that even if she had to plead guilty, it would not be now. Framing Concubine Shu would be a trivial matter. Not only would she be implicated in collaborating with the enemy and treason, but her son would also be implicated.
"Your Majesty, I really have been wronged."
She threw herself at the emperor, who coldly shook her off.
His face was cold and stern, without any of the warmth of the past, and he ordered outside.
"The queen framed Concubine Shu and Mrs. Lu. Her intentions were terrible and it was detrimental to her moral character. She first locked them up in her own palace. No one is allowed to visit Concubine Shu before she wakes up."
It was impossible for the emperor to bring the matter of collaborating with the enemy to the surface, so he naturally had to find a reasonable excuse to imprison the person, and at the same time, he could give an explanation to the Marquis of Ning'an and Concubine Shu.
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
The queen was taken down and she was still complaining, but she didn't dare to say what she was complaining about.
When passing by Si Ning, the queen's eyes were filled with viciousness.
Lu Hanxiao protected the person behind him, with a cold look on his brow.
The queen withdrew her gaze, still complaining, and soon the emperor walked out.
