When he was young, he was not loved by the late emperor, and no one comforted him when he was sick. It was because Wei Zhongxian held him in his arms and stayed up all night, not daring to close his eyes.

I like the craft of carpentry, but the late emperor and Grandpa Wanli scolded me many times. Wei Zhongxian secretly accompanied me to study hard at the craft, so that I never lost my childhood dream.

On the eve of his accession to the throne a few years ago, during the palace transfer case, Wei Zhongxian secretly supported him in escaping from Li Xuanshi's control and successfully succeeded to the throne as emperor.

He kept all these things in mind.

Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he was extremely fond of him and was completely unwary.

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian is shouting injustice. Did I really misunderstand Wei Daban?

"stop!"

Zhu Youxiao made some mistake and couldn't help but walk over. He pushed aside a group of royal guards and looked down at Wei Zhongxian.

Seeing this, Luo Sigong shouted stop again, feeling regretful all over.

He wanted to slap himself in the face several times and shouted: "Your Majesty, the Queen has personally accused you, how can there be any lies?"

"you shut up!"

Zhu Youxiao directly snatched the Xiuchun Dao from Luo Sigong's hand and pointed it at Wei Zhongxian.

"Chancellor, I only want to ask you, do you dare to swear to God! Did you conspire with Li Xin to harm my queen and my prince?"

Wei Zhongxian, who was lying on the ground, was ecstatic when he saw another glimmer of hope.

Yes.

That's right!

it's me.

It was Queen Zhang who I harmed, Your Majesty.

I'm sorry, but who asked you to ask is that Li Xin and I conspired.

Li Xinzhen was not involved in this.

He turned over and knelt down, crying in front of Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty! I swear that I will never conspire with Li Xin to murder the empress."

"If any of what I said is false, I hope the sky will strike with five thunders, and I will be punished by God and die! I hope I will not be reincarnated after death, and I will be a lonely ghost forever..."

Wei Zhongxian made this poisonous oath heartily and without hesitation.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this.

Wei Daban, are you so vicious?

Is it really a mistake, or is Queen Zhang just talking nonsense?

Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a while.

All the civil and military officials were also stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't say a word.

The ancients believed in destiny the most, and no one else would dare to make such a poisonous oath.

"His Majesty……"

At the critical moment, Wang Zhu Youjian still made a sound.

Wei Zhongxian must not die, and it became his only way to save his life.

If we don’t help right now, we’ll wait until later.

Zhu Youjian came up to the emperor and said softly: "There is a lot of doubt about this matter. Why don't we call the emperor's sister-in-law's personal officer to come over and ask what's going on to see if it was the factory official who harmed the empress..."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao glanced at his brother approvingly again.

At the critical moment, you, the kid, are still awake.

Yup!

The female officer Lu Lingxuan was Zi Tong's personal attendant. She knew what happened best.

Just call her over.

Or I can just go back to Kunning Palace and ask in person.

But now he was so upset that he couldn't care about anything.

"Call the female officer named Lu to come over!"

Following Zhu Youxiao's order, she was quickly brought over.

Lu Lingxuan was constantly waiting by Zhang Yan's side. She was saddened by the prince's premature death, grateful that the empress had saved her life, and worried that her husband had escaped from the palace. Unexpectedly, she was summoned by the emperor.

She heard the whole story on the way here. When she learned that her husband had escaped and Wei Gou was captured, she felt very happy and made up her mind to expose the matter, even if she lost her life.

But who knows, we won’t know until we come here.

There was actually a female official who slandered the husband one step ahead and said that he was responsible for the jewel!

Who instigated it?

No need to think about it, it must be that witch Ke Yinyue.

She seemed to see the figure of the temptress in Kunning Palace, but before she could cause trouble for her, she had disappeared.

At this moment, what should we do?

"Ms. Lu, let me ask you! Did you see that it was Li Xin who broke into the harem with a knife and murdered my queen?"

"Is Wei Changchen involved in this matter again?"

In full view of everyone, Zhu Youxiao asked coldly.

This question made everyone's skin crawl, knowing that this woman's confession would determine the life or death of many people.

Lu Lingxuan knelt on the ground and started to accuse Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue.

But after seeing Wei Zhongxian at first sight, he was speechless.

Wei Zhongxian's eyes glowed brightly and he said sharply: "Master Lu, you are talking!"

"Whether it was our family and Li Xin who... harmed your mother-in-law."

He deliberately bit Li Xin hard, and his meaning was clear.

The fates of Li Xin and I have been tied together. You can think about it and think about the final fate of your husband.

Lu Lingxuan was stunned, her mouth twitching, speechless.

"Ms. Lu, are you deaf? Your Majesty will ask you again!"

Luo Sigong was so anxious that he shouted angrily again.

Lu Lingxuan gritted her silver teeth and fell to the ground miserably.

"Your Majesty! I saw with my own eyes that the empress was harmed by a palace maid in the dormitory. The other party's name was Bai Ying..."

She recounted what happened half an hour ago, from the pain in the empress's back to Bai Ying's attack, to the time when she had no way to seek help, and rushed to the square in front of the palace.

Everything is explained clearly and clearly.

"Your Majesty, sir... No, Li Xin is a teacher in Xiangfu County. He has known my mother-in-law, Zhang Guoji, for many years. My mother-in-law also grew up under the guidance of Mr. Li... How could I hurt my wife..."

Wow!

This time, things finally came to light.

All the civil and military officials looked puzzled, thinking about everything.

No wonder this female official ran to the square in front of the palace, desperate for help from Li Xin.

No wonder Li Xin did not let the dignified number one scholar do it, but insisted on coercing Wei Zhongxian and broke into the harem with a knife.

These people have known each other for a long time!

However, these words also made Zhu Youxiao stupid: "What nonsense! How could my queen say that it was Li Xin who caused my prince to die young..."

Lu Lingxuan raised her head in disbelief: "Your Majesty, the Queen is still being rescued and has not woken up at all. Where do these words come from?"

The whole place was shocked.

"what?"

Zhu Youxiao was furious when he learned that he had been tricked again.

It wasn't Li Xin who killed him, and it wasn't Wei Zhongxian who killed him, so who was it?

Who wants to murder my Zitong!

He didn't bother to ask anymore and issued his decree in a stern voice.

"Luo Sigong!"

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to lead all the Jinyi guards in Beizhen Fusi, immediately seal off Kyoto, search the whole city, find the palace maid named Bai Ying for me, and capture Li Xin for me!"

"I want to find out who killed the queen!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian could not be killed again, Luo Sigong could only accept the order and leave with regret.

"And you!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wei Zhongxian who was paralyzed on the ground.

"The minister is here, the minister is here!"

Seeing that there was a turn of events, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly crawled to Zhu Youxiao's feet on his knees.

"Banban!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold voice: "You go too! Take your Dongchang fanzi and the five-city army and horse division, search the whole city for me, catch Li Xin! Find out the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"Banban, it depends on me if I can prove your innocence. Don't let me down!"

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian endured the severe pain in his shoulder and stood up with a smile on his face.

Yeah!

This feels right.

The feeling of having power is back again.

That smile made the Donglin Party members among the officials shudder.

It made Luo Sigong, who had just left but not yet gone far, feel chills all over his body.

Everyone understands, it’s over!

Zhu Youxiao released the castrated hungry tiger and allowed it to bite him wantonly.
