After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

The queen admitted to poisoning because she did not want her son to suffer the torture, and she was also afraid that he would say nonsense in a hurry.

She was thoughtful, but she still might as well have her son confess so quickly and put all the blame on her. She was so stupid that she even dared to charge her with poisoning the emperor!

"Your Majesty, the fourth child must have been tortured to force a confession, and he spoke nonsense out of fear." The queen said in a panic.

"Your Majesty, we did not torture His Highness the Fourth. We only told him that your bowl of ginseng soup was poisonous, and the Queen is also in charge of the torture department at the moment." Shangguan Xu said.

By telling him this, he knew how serious the matter was and that the queen had been traced. No torture was needed, he was so frightened that he hurriedly distanced himself from the relationship to save himself.

The queen clenched her fists, "He didn't know anything about it, so his words can't be trusted."

The emperor slapped the table, "If others say you poisoned me, I don't have to believe it, but if your good son says you poisoned me, I would really be a fool if I don't believe it!"

"Your Majesty!" The queen knelt down and crawled to the emperor, crying: "I am really incapable of making excuses, but I really just want to kill Lao Qi with poison, and I have never thought of harming you!"

The emperor pushed the queen away and when he saw her lying down again, he kicked her in anger. "Kill me and the seventh child with poison, and the fourth child can naturally ascend the throne. You have a good plan, but it's a pity that you are too stupid!"

"No, Your Majesty, how could I harm you? You are my husband!"

"I see that you no longer care about the relationship between husband and wife!" The emperor flicked his sleeves and gave the queen a cold look, "Then I don't need to care about it either!"

"emperor!"

"Come here!" The emperor gritted his teeth, "Drag the queen into the torture chamber, undergo a severe torture first, and then throw her into the dungeon, where she will never see the light of day!"

The queen was afraid, cried and shouted, but saw the emperor walking out with a cold face. Finally she had to accept the fact that she was finished.

"Your Majesty, Rui'er doesn't know anything. He really doesn't know anything! For the sake of the love between father and son, please don't embarrass him! All sins are mine. Your Majesty, please spare Rui'er. , spare him!"

The queen shouted heartbreakingly, but she only saw the emperor's decisive back.

"You've been with him for so long, haven't you seen clearly what kind of person he is?"

Hearing this sound, the Queen's cry suddenly stopped, and she suppressed the trembling all over her body. She turned around bluntly, only to see Yan Mu still standing there. The light from the brazier outside came in and shone on his face, cold and indifferent, neither happy nor angry.

"Do you think begging him will help?"

The queen fell to the ground. It was precisely because Yan Mu was right that she despaired. She looked at this place, which was filled with coldness and horror, and she couldn't help but feel in a trance. Half an hour ago, she was in Feifeng Palace, and now she was reduced to this, and even wanted to die here.

She looked around in panic, and her eyes finally fell on Yan Mu's face.

She looked at him for a long time.

"you win."

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, "To be honest, you and the fourth child are not worthy of being my opponents."

"I am the queen and he is the fourth prince. How come he is not worthy?"

"You are so stupid. You are taking advantage of others without knowing it at all."

"Who?"

Yan Mu shook his head and laughed, "Queen, think about it, who used your and Fourth's identities to win over the courtiers, but then abandoned you at the critical moment?"

The queen was confused for a moment, but soon figured it out. She laughed, and laughed very loudly, "My nephew, King Suping Lu Changan. I have long seen his wolfish ambitions, so I kept three people with me when planning with him. It’s a pity that he is seeking skin from a tiger, I am not his opponent after all.”

"You see so clearly."

"So what, I can't defeat him, let alone you."

The queen looked at Yan Mu and narrowed her eyes, "Two bowls of ginseng soup, one was poisonous and the other was not. I wanted to poison you, but you gave the poisonous bowl to the emperor instead."

Yan Mu nodded, "Yes, I changed it."

The Queen frowned, her face full of confusion, "But how did you know I would poison you?"

"Your Majesty is quite cautious. The reason why I took such a risk this time was probably the fourth child's idea."

"You...you guessed so accurately!"

"I gave him the fire, so he naturally knows."

The queen was startled for a moment, and then she laughed helplessly, "It turns out it was you who set up the trap. The fourth child stepped in step by step and even pulled me along."

At this time the guards came in and wanted to take the queen to the execution chamber.

The queen was slumped on the ground unable to get up, and was dragged out by the two guards.

"Old Seven! Please, please, for the sake of brotherhood, help Fourth! Help him..."

The queen's last words were long, and Yan Mu's eyes turned cold. Why didn't he mention brotherhood when he hurt him and poisoned him again and again?

A guard came in and said that the Fourth Highness had fainted from fright, but the Emperor did not say whether to keep the Fourth Highness here or send him back to the palace, so he asked him to make a decision.

"The queen is worried about the Fourth Highness. Please come out of the torture chamber later and lock the mother and son together."

"Yes."

After coming out of the Criminal Division, Yan Mu felt that the sun was a bit dazzling, so he stretched out his hand to block it. He walked towards Chengtian Palace. As he walked, Shangguan Xu caught up with him and walked with him.

"Of these bowls of ginseng soup, one is poisonous and the other is not. How did you know?" Shangguan Xu asked.

"The queen is not that stupid. If she poisons the emperor, Da Rong will be completely in chaos due to partisanship, internal and external troubles, so she will only poison me."

"So you made a guess." Shangguan Xu said with a deep breath, "What if she doesn't think so, what if those two bowls of ginseng soup are poisonous, have you ever considered this possibility?"

"Will not."

"You thought about it, but you still have to drink that bowl of ginseng soup."

Yan Mu stopped and turned to look at Shangguan Xu. He was silent for a moment and saluted him, "Master Shangguan, thank you for arriving in time, but you'd better stay out of my business."

"If you risk your own life, can you handle Liu Yunxiang?"

Yan Mu's face turned a little blue, and he turned around and said, "I don't, I'm sure of it."

"If you allow yourself to take risks, you are irresponsible to them. If something happens to you, what will they do? Under the gaze of tigers and wolves, they will only become lambs to be slaughtered if they are orphans and widowed!"

"..."

"The emperor's bowl of ginseng soup was poisonous. If I had not gone in, the emperor would probably have collapsed by now. In order to take revenge, you did not consider the consequences at all and ignored the people of the world. Although you were scolded as a traitor in the past, in the face of righteousness, you Never vague.”

When Yan Mu heard this, he just thought it was ridiculous. In fact, he also laughed.

"Shangguan Xu, do you want to talk to me about justice?"

Shangguan Xu looked at Yan Mu with deep eyes and said word by word: "I, Shangguan Xu, am a traitor, a villain, and a sinner, but you, Yan Mu, are not, and you cannot be either. I raised you and taught you the way of sages and sages. Tao, what I ask you to do is never against justice, I am rotten to the core, you cannot rot."
