Don't they want to drag Yan Mu into the pit? Then she will drag the queen and the fourth prince down. This is fair.

The queen secretly glared at Liu Yunxiang, then turned to ask Jiang Yunying: "Concubine Jiang, I have always felt that you are gentle, kind and virtuous, and would never do such a vicious thing. It's just that the human and material evidence are here. , do you have anything else to defend?"

Jiang Yunying knelt down and said: "Yunying is wronged. Yunying did not harm the concubine of Yuan Dynasty. Yunying didn't know about this packet of medicinal powder, and Yunying didn't know about the poisonous preserved fruit. I hope my mother and Li Fuyin will find out." "

The queen rubbed her forehead and said: "I have been working all night and found nothing. I am also tired. Li Fuyin, I will leave this case to you to investigate."

Li Chong said hurriedly: "Yes, I will definitely find out the real culprit."

The queen nodded and let Jiang Yunying support her as she walked out. Liu Yunxiang was not willing to let them leave so easily, so he stopped them immediately.

"The empress and Concubine Jiang just insisted that it was me. If the other party didn't have too many loopholes, then I would have died unjustly."

Because the queen said "too many loopholes", she couldn't help but glare at Jiang Yunying and said angrily: "After all, something happened to Concubine Yuan in the palace, so you are more or less responsible."

"I can't stand the thought of someone trying to harm her or frame me. If you really want to pursue something, Queen Mother, you shouldn't have sent her back to the palace. It's obvious that she was sent to die."

"you!"

"The evidence in this case all points to Concubine Jiang. It is a serious crime to murder the emperor's heir. Should Concubine Jiang follow Li Fuyin back to Jingzhao Mansion to cooperate with the investigation?"

Yuan Qingyue was poisoned and Jiang Yunying was taken away by Jingzhao Mansion. What would people outside say? The fourth prince would definitely be implicated. Now that the Fourth Prince has finally restored some of his reputation, he cannot let it be ruined.

The Queen suppressed her anger and said, "I have wronged you just now, and I will apologize to you."

With that said, she gave Jiang Yunying another tug.

Jiang Yunying gritted her teeth secretly, "I will also make amends to the princess."

At this time, the official carried Yuan Qingyue's body out on a wooden board. Liu Yunxiang tutted: "Yuan Qingyue was quite pitiful. She probably didn't know who killed her when she died. By the way, Queen, didn't you always say Do you like Yuan Qingyue very much? Now that her body is being carried away, don’t you want to see her for the last time?”

The queen frowned, "No need."

"It's better to take a look. She has a soul in heaven, and she must be thinking about the Queen. She might come back to see you."

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but shudder. When the body was carried over, although it was covered with white cloth, her hands fell out from under the white cloth. She screamed in fright and quickly backed away.

"Concubine Jiang and she seem to have a very good relationship. Do you want to take a look?" Liu Yunxiang looked at Jiang Yunying again and asked.

Jiang Yunying also looked very unhappy and said coldly: "No need."

The queen felt a chill on her back, and she quickly took Jiang Yunying out. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Jiang Yunying helped the queen get into the carriage.

The queen thought about how she came here tonight and left in despair. She couldn't help but get angry and slapped Jiang Yunying back.

"Idiot, look at the good things you've done!"

Jiang Yunying covered her face, "This time it is indeed Yun Ying's fault. I didn't expect Liu Yunxiang to be so cruel and poison Yuan Qingyue to death."

Once Yuan Qingyue died, she could no longer bite Liu Yunxiang and let her bite him back.

Originally, she was still making arrangements, but this incident happened, which greatly messed up her plan. She had no choice but to let the cook bite Liu Yunxiang first. In panic, she did not want to create a loophole and let Liu Yunxiang catch it.

The Queen took a deep breath, "You underestimated her."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law has realized it."

"This matter must be handled well, don't let Liu Yunxiang drag you into the water."

"Don't worry, Madam. My daughter-in-law has always been cautious in doing things. She borrowed the hand of the maid next to her from beginning to end. All she had to do was push her out to take the blame."

The queen nodded, "It's a pity that Liu Yunxiang was not hurt this time. It will be even more difficult in the future."

After everyone in Jingzhao Mansion left, it was already bright.

Liu Yunxiang walked out of the courtyard gate of Jingshui Pavilion, looked up at Chen Yang, and said to the housekeeper beside him: "Over there in Lanyuan, go and clean up, and find the man who made Yuan Qingyue pregnant."

The butler nodded, "Yes."

Back at Liuyue Pavilion, the two children had already gotten up and were chasing each other in the yard. Their laughter made this slightly cold morning beautiful. Liu Yunxiang called the two children to him and kissed each of them.

Yuan Qingyue used the child in her belly to set up a poisonous plan, and she should have suffered the consequences.

After the court came down, the people from the palace were waiting outside the palace and told Yan Mu what happened in the palace. Yan Mu narrowed his eyes and saw the fourth prince coming out again. He was very proud because he had been praised by the emperor in the court, and there were many officials following him.

Yan Mu's mind turned around, and he pulled out an evil smile at the corner of his mouth. He quickly put it away, then clenched his fist and rushed towards the fourth prince. Before he or those around him could react, he knocked him down with one fist. .

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, and then roared angrily: "Old Qi, why are you so angry?"

Yan Mu gritted his teeth: "Your concubine poisoned the concubine in my house, causing her death and the death of her unborn child. How do you think this account will be settled?"

The Fourth Prince knew this to some extent, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty on his face, "You, what are you talking about!"

Yan Mu looked extremely sad and angry, as if he was really experiencing the pain of losing his son. Before the fourth prince could finish his words, he punched him again, and hit him several times in succession, making the fourth prince scream for help. The officials nearby wanted to persuade her, but they heard that the fourth prince's concubine had killed the seventh prince's child. This was too sinister and they did not dare to mess with it.

The fourth prince wanted to resist, but how could he be Yan Mu's opponent? Before the guards rushed up, Yan Mu punched and kicked him. After a while, the fourth prince's nose and face were already bruised and swollen.

"Yan Mu, you, wait, I will go back and complain to my father!" The fourth prince grinned in pain, clutched his chest, and stood up after a while.

Yan Mu sneered coldly, "You have the ability to complain to your father!"

"you!"

"waste!"

The fourth prince was so angry that he almost fainted, "You wait, you wait!"

He staggered towards the palace, but was stopped by Wei Shuyi who came up to him.

"Your Highness, the Emperor said he was tired and didn't see anyone."

Wei Shuyi said and looked at Yan Mu again, waving to an eunuch behind him. The eunuch came over with a red coral in his hands, "The emperor liked the tribute from the East China Sea many years ago. His Highness Zhiqi was wronged, so he specifically asked the servant to find it and give it to him. For His Highness."

Yan Mu lowered his eyes and smiled. The emperor was planning to give him this broken coral so that he would not pursue Yuan Qingyue's matter.

This is obviously to protect the fourth prince.

Yan Mu let out a long sigh and asked the boy next to him to take the red coral. "My father is old and I don't want him to worry about it. Let's forget about it."

The fourth prince received a beating and saw that Yan Mu not only was not reprimanded but also received a very rare red coral. His eyes were red with anger and he couldn't help but turned to Wei Shuyi and asked, "Father, didn't you ask me how I was injured? "

Wei Shuyi smiled and said, "The Emperor asked His Highness the Fourth Prince to return to his residence and reflect on himself."

The fourth prince gritted his teeth. The child in Yuan Qingyue's belly was not Lao Qi's. Lao Qi knew better than anyone that what he did today was just a hooligan act!

What a shame, he still has nowhere to appeal!
