Everyone looked at the two bloody corpses on the ground, and then looked up at Tang Ning.
Anyone could tell that there was something wrong with Cai'an and Yun'er, and Princess Xiangning also found out the traces through questioning.
But now he is so dead...
Mrs. Cui bet a huge sum of money on Xiao Yan and his wife, and since she gave away the iron ore, she, her son, and her father and brother behind her have been tied to Xiao Yan and his wife. And the Qian family behind Qian Qiyue was supported by Xiao Yan.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with what happened today. Tang Ning could have "exonerated" Qian Qiyue, but now everything is ruined.
Seeing Liu Tongen being so arrogant and silent in public, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but sneered:
"It's true that Commander Liu has not done any errands for His Majesty for many years. It's no wonder that the army that went south to counter the rebellion didn't dare to let you lead the troops. Otherwise, you are such a showman that you can't even hold a knife. If you don't hurt the enemy on the battlefield, you will have to be hacked to death first." If you want to kill one of your own people, it’s really a clear warning that His Majesty won’t let you go.”
Liu Tongen was ridiculed but his expression remained unchanged: "The humble minister is guilty of a mistake, please punish the Queen Mother."
"Is it a mistake or silence?" Tang Ning said coldly.
Liu Tongen frowned: "Princess Xiangning, please don't accuse me unjustly. I was just afraid that someone would hurt the Queen Mother, so I made a mistake to protect the Queen Mother..."
Tang Ning said unceremoniously: "Your mistake was to kill the witness directly. The prince's death was quite strange. It was obvious that Cai'an had conspired with others and must have known the truth. But if you kill her with a knife, it is tantamount to It cut off the clues to find out the truth for the prince."
"The Princess speaks too harshly." Aunt Ran supported the Queen Mother: "My Lady, Commander Liu is also loyal to protect the Princess..."
"So in the eyes of Aunt Ran, the cause of the prince's death is not as good as that of a commander of the imperial army who was unable to hold a knife and killed a witness?"
"This is not what I meant. Cai'an committed suicide to show her will. Before she died, she also said that she was wronged."
"joke!"
Tang Ning felt it was extremely ridiculous, and suddenly interrupted Nanny Ran's words and her eyes were full of ridicule.
"Sister Qian has been shouting that she is wronged. Did the Queen Mother give her a chance to plead her case? Madam Fu told the Queen Mother about the incident in Baosha, did the Queen Mother even listen to a word? The Queen Mother confirmed that the prince was killed by Sister Qian. , regardless of whether you want the rod to be punished, or whether you want to decide whether it is right or wrong, regardless of the reason."
"Why is it that now when it is the turn of the people in Shoukang Palace, they are able to ignore all the doubts and are still willing to believe Cai'an's excuses despite knowing that she lied before?"
Her words are sarcastic and extremely sharp.
"The Queen Mother said before that she loved the Prince and wanted to punish Sister Qian for his death. But now she no longer remembers the love between ancestors and grandchildren when it comes to Liu Tong'en and the palace maid. The Queen Mother's love for the Prince is still the same. Who is it?"
"You are presumptuous!" the Queen Mother yelled hoarsely.
Tang Ning did not retreat at all. She could see that in today's scene at Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother had made up her mind to kill Qian Qiyue and make the Qian family bear the name of murdering the prince. She also wanted to marry the prince to death. The trouble lies with Qian Qiyue.
The prince's death was a set-up. The Queen Mother knew it, Emperor An knew it, and even if the Concubine Xian didn't know it, she might have been used and involved.
The Queen Mother didn't want to give Qian Qiyue a chance to stand up. Even if she was so blatantly trying to kill the palace people, she would rather drop the topic than give Qian Qiyue a chance to turn around.
If that's the case, then why should she worry about everything? !
Tang Ning looked at the Queen Mother with an angry look, and her eyes were filled with frost as she raised her lips.
"I remember that a few months ago, there was a palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace. For a few cents of money, she dared to conspire with Cui Lin to murder someone and frame the blame. Afterwards, she died in the imperial garden and was silenced. Don't you think about this today? Does it look familiar to you?"
"I just don't know whether it's the bad Feng Shui in Shoukang Palace or the Queen Mother who treats her too harshly. That's why these people in your palace betray the master over and over again just for some gold and silver money, and they dare to be so bold. Making such shameless calculations."
The palace was extremely quiet. Not to mention Zhaogui and the others, even Concubine Xian and Concubine Huan, who had been in a difficult position before, couldn't help but take a breath.
Is Song Tangning crazy?
How dare she speak like this? !
The Queen Mother's chest rose and fell, her face flushed with anger as she pressed Nanny Ran's arm: "You... you bastard, how dare you talk to the Ai family like this?!"
Tang Ning looked coldly: "I am just curious about why such betrayers often appear in the Queen Mother's palace. And since the Queen Mother loves the prince and wants to seek justice for him, why should she let Commander Liu go?"
"He murdered the witness in public and cut off the clues for Prince Zhaoxue. Who knows if he had the same premeditation as the person who murdered my brother and then silenced him on the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"The Queen Mother did not protect your sister-in-law, Mrs. Xuan, and allowed the Xuan family to let her die of illness. She was so selfless and should not have protected Liu Tong'en today. Or is Liu Tong'en more important to you than the Xuan family? For the sake of his crown prince It doesn’t matter if he dies.”
"you you……"
The Queen Mother's chest heaved with anger, and her previously radiant face was filled with anger.
Her eyes were wide with anger, and her face was flushed. She seemed to be angry at Tang Ningruo's pointed words. She suddenly opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This movement frightened everyone.
"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Aunt Ran quickly supported the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother seemed to have lost all her strength, and there was blood on her mouth.
"Mother!"
Emperor An's voice came from outside the palace, and within a moment he was seen walking hurriedly past the others and arrived in front of the Queen Mother.
Seeing the Queen Mother vomiting blood and looking weak, Emperor An was furious: "What's going on? Isn't the Queen Mother in good health? How could she suddenly become like this?!"
Concubine Xian added to her jealousy: "Your Majesty, this is Princess Xiangning. The daughter of the Qian family plotted to kill the prince. In order to protect her, Princess Xiangning insulted and humiliated the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother become so angry that she vomited blood."
Emperor An suddenly turned his head and glared at Tangning: "Song Tangning, you are so brave!"
Tang Ning looked at the pale queen mother who was slumped in Nanny Ran's arms, then at the furious An Di, and the other people in a mess around her.
When I saw the Empress Dowager trying to kill Qian Qiyue, the vague doubt that ran through my heart suddenly emerged. The Empress Dowager did not have Qian Qiyue when she recruited people to the palace, but why was she plotted against her every time? in? Did the Queen Mother have a premeditated plan, or did she make a spur-of-the-moment idea, or was it just a matter of calculation against Qian Qiyue...
At this moment, watching the Queen Mother fall, Tang Ning's expression suddenly changed, as if she understood something, and she said decisively: "My daughter did not mean to offend, she just wanted to find out the truth about the death of the prince..."
"Queen Mother!!"
Before she could finish her words, Nanny Ran screamed in panic, but the Queen Mother vomited blood again.
