princess regent lifted from her grave

next day

Inside the main hall, the ministers who came to court looked at each other in blank dismay,

When they entered the hall in an orderly manner, they saw the empress sitting on the dragon chair. The empress seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time.

At this moment, Empress Empress's eyes were reddish, her face was haggard, and she was struggling to keep her spirits up. She looked like someone who hadn't slept all night.

But the queen's face was gloomy, and she stared at the courtiers below with sharp eyes,

The ministers had already stood up and saw that the empress hadn't spoken for a long time. They didn't know what happened. No one came out to ask why.

For one thing, since yesterday, the lord wizard who temporarily supervised the country has not yet gone to court,

Secondly, the queen's face is not good, and no one wants to touch this bad luck. Even though it is so unruly for the queen to sit on the dragon chair at this time, they still choose to wait and see for the time being.

The queen empress sitting on the dragon chair was indeed very angry. She waited for her father in the dormitory last night. Before she could wait for her father to take her away, she waited for a news in the early morning that something happened to the Xu mansion. The masters are missing, and there are more guards entering and leaving Xu's mansion this morning. I don't know what happened.

Then the person who brought the news told the empress that the gold and silver in the palace treasury had been loaded into the carriage, and Master Xu had taken the gold and silver from the carriage overnight with the empress token in hand.

The queen fell down on the phoenix chair when she heard the words, her face was pale, and she was even more haggard after a sleepless night. She couldn't believe that her father would treat her like this. She was abandoned in the palace, and Xiyou Kingdom was destroyed immediately. Didn't her father just let her die.

The queen never expected her father to be so cruel.

She has always respected her father and devoted herself to taking care of Xu's mansion. Grand Master Xu's sudden betrayal made the queen lose her mind, and she didn't let the guards go to investigate, so she thought that her father had abandoned him.

Even if the empress sent someone to investigate the inner treasury in the palace, they would not believe the news and suspect Grand Master Xu. Several guards who had received the queen's order to transport gold and silver to the inner treasury were collapsing at this moment. Stunned in an empty warehouse,

Even the carriages transporting gold and silver outside the warehouse were driven to other places by Qing Feng.

Since Mu Fengyan came out of the palace last night and thought of this plan, she ordered Qingfeng to deal with these matters secretly, including the guards who passed the message to the empress this morning,

If the empress is more sensible and confirms these words, she will see through this trick.

However, the empress lost her mind because of the betrayal of her father Xu Taishi, she lost all reason after a sleepless night, and naturally fell into Mu Fengyan's trap.

Sitting on the dragon chair, the Empress's face became more and more gloomy, without saying a word, she looked at the ministers below sullenly, because of her father's betrayal, she now looked at the people below more and more disliked.

Before the queen could speak, a senior official from the Ministry of Rites stepped out, facing the queen's unkind eyes, and cupped his hands,

"Empress, this dragon chair was used by the emperors of all dynasties. As the master of the harem, the empress should manage the affairs of the harem for the emperor. I can't sit still, this action is not in compliance with the regulations. I also ask the empress to leave the court as soon as possible."

The rest of the ministers lowered their heads when they heard the words, didn't they see the queen's fire-breathing eyes?

After hearing the words, the queen was very angry at first, then laughed out loud, and said sarcastically,

"This country is about to be destroyed, why can't I sit on this dragon chair! This palace is just sitting here waiting for you to come and tell you the news that the country is about to be destroyed."

The queen's face was a little crazy, and the ministers below were silent for a while, and then there was an uproar. The ministers were either shocked, surprised, or disbelieving, in short, their expressions were different.

Last night, Master Wizard personally told that the battle would be won, how could it be so?

Also, what about the wizard?Why didn't it appear on the court.

There are still many ministers who don't believe it. They haven't received any news. How could the empress who lives in the harem know this news?

The empress ignored their questioning voices one after another,

Instead, he continued to speak,

"Last night, Taishi Xu entered the palace to inform the palace of this news. Taishi Xu borrowed the hand of the palace to transfer all the silver from the national treasury and the gold and silver in the palace's internal treasury. Now Taishi Xu is even missing. I don’t know where they fled, but tell me, how should we deal with such traitors?”

The queen gritted her teeth every time she said a word, which showed that she had monstrous anger and hatred for Grand Master Xu's abandonment of her.

After the queen finished speaking, the ministers realized that Grand Master Xu had not gone to court, and seeing the gloomy expression on the queen's face, they knew it was true.

Unexpectedly, Grand Master Xu would be so ambitious, and the treasury's money was secretly transferred by him, which is really a crime that cannot be punished.

All the courtiers crusade against each other. In the past, they were so respectful to Grand Master Xu, but now they have so much hatred. The voices of crusades are repeated one after another. More ministers hope to recover Ku Yin as soon as possible and kill Grand Master Xu immediately.

The ministers may be skeptical about the Queen's words that the Xiyou Kingdom is about to be destroyed, but they absolutely believe in Grand Master Xu's matter.

That is the queen's biological father, so what the queen said must not be wrong.

The queen felt relieved when she saw their angry appearance.

Then he directly ordered Yu Yi general to go to recover Ku Yin himself and kill the fleeing Grand Master Xu and his party.

After the general received the decree, he left the hall angrily, and he would definitely kill the traitor Grand Master Xu himself.

As for whether Ku Yin could be recovered, the queen no longer cared, she just wanted to find someone to avenge her betrayal before she died.

Yes, the Queen wants to leave with dignity,

Suicide by drinking poison is the final outcome that the empress thinks of. Instead of being captured and tortured, it is better to choose to commit suicide.

Her escape route has been blocked by her father,

Even if she fled, she still lived a life of fear and turmoil. She was alone and had no one to rely on. Master Xu's betrayal had made her feel disheartened.

It is better to die with dignity than to live in vain.

Of course, she will not go to the road to Huangquan alone, she will take the emperor, the prince and her precious daughter with her, and they will leave together, and she will not be lonely if she has a companion on the road to Huangquan.

The queen who was sitting on the dragon chair, finished handling the matter, stretched out her hand to caress the dragon chair again, she had only sat on the dragon chair once, and she felt unwilling.

Then she got up and glanced at the ministers with different expressions. The queen looked indifferent, as if she had let go of everything, she slowly walked off the dragon chair, and said to the ministers before leaving, "retire." and left the hall He disappeared, leaving only the puzzled ministers.

If they read correctly just now, the empress's expression is terrifyingly calm, her eyes were full of anger before, but now she is dead silent,

The ministers had a bad feeling.

But just now the queen had ordered to retreat, they had no choice but to leave, and they didn't know why the lord wizard didn't go to court.
