After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Chu Huanyan presented the note to Emperor Xiao again, and the latter ordered someone to bring the lantern closer. After comparing it, they were indeed the same.

"Queen, what else do you want to say?" Emperor Xiao glared instantly.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, this must be a frame-up!" Queen Wei said hurriedly.

She asked Tao Yao to pass the note out, but from the use of paper to the use of ink, she specifically reminded Tao Yao to pay attention. Before sending the note, she also checked it. It was just an ordinary ink stick, not an ordinary ink stick. Smoke velvet ink.

"Empress, I have no grievances against you, so why do I want to frame you? What's more, only you and the emperor own the smoke and ink in the palace. How did you frame me?"

"Since you have sneaked into Fengyi Palace, how can you guarantee that this note was not forged by you just now!"

"Please ask someone to check the ink. The ink on this note has dried long ago. It was not just written."

"Since you were able to infiltrate Fengyi Palace this time, it may not have been the case before. Perhaps you had made up your mind to frame me before and had already prepared this so-called physical evidence!"

"My daughter is basically accompanied by His Highness the Crown Prince in this investigation. Without His Highness, I would never be able to enter the heavily guarded Fengyi Palace to seek evidence. If I really want to frame the Queen, His Highness the Prince will never Will allow it."

"he……"

Queen Wei wanted to refute, but Chu Huanyan continued directly.

"If Your Highness wanted to harm your Majesty, you wouldn't have asked me to conceal the matter just now. Your Highness has given you good intentions, and it's impossible for Your Majesty to suspect that your biological son wants to harm you, right?"

Queen Wei choked and wanted to speak after she regained her composure, but Chu Huanyan had turned to Emperor Xiao again.

"Your Majesty, I have done my best on this matter. I have only found these clues so far, and I have reported them all truthfully. In order to avoid the Queen's dissatisfaction, I have asked myself to no longer be responsible for this case. As for all the things investigated in this case, My daughter will never reveal a word to anyone."

She didn't intend to publicize it, but with such guards present, she might not be able to keep this matter a secret.

Emperor Xiao stared at the note in his hand, his face frozen, and he turned to look at Queen Wei.

"Come here, take the queen back to Fengyi Palace. Without my order, no one in Fengyi Palace can take a step forward."

Queen Wei was shocked. The incident of the masked assassin had already caused a stir. If the entire Fengyi Palace was banned at this moment, then her majesty and face as a queen would be trampled to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am really unjust. No matter how the Emperor wants to investigate me, I will definitely cooperate. But once I am banned, it will definitely arouse people's criticism. When the time comes, there will be an uproar. I am afraid that even the court will be stirred up because of this matter. Waves.”

A trace of hesitation flashed across Emperor Xiao's face, as if he was contemplating whether to temporarily withdraw the order of grounding. But when he turned his eyes, he saw the paper in his hand again. The word "Snow" on it came into view, and even the appearance of Concubine Xue, who was weak due to poisoning, came to mind again.

Emperor Xiao's heart sank, and he said without argument: "Whether it is unjust or not, we will naturally know after the investigation. As the master of the harem, the queen should set an example. If you are really innocent... I will never wrong you. .”

Speaking of this, Queen Wei also knew that there was no room for negotiation.

From an angle that Emperor Xiao couldn't see, his stern eyes fell on Chu Huanyan, "Your Majesty, I can cooperate with the investigation, but Chu Huanyan broke into Fengyi Palace without permission, which is against etiquette and law anyway. I hope the Emperor can punish her." !”

Emperor Xiao frowned, "The investigation of this case was arranged by me. Although his behavior was a bit reckless, it was still for the purpose of investigating the case. The merits will be offset by the demerits, and there will be no reward or punishment."

No matter how unhappy Empress Wei was, she could only endure the anger in her heart after Emperor Xiao said so. Soon, she and Tao Yao were sent back to Fengyi Palace by the guards.

"Get up." Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Huanyan stood up.

Emperor Xiao's eyes fell on her and Xiao Jinzhi, "Do you think the queen is the murderer?"

"Father, I feel that this matter cannot be completely concluded. After all, the queen mother and Concubine Xue are biological sisters, and these alone cannot prove that the queen mother is the murderer. I hope my father can..."

Emperor Xiao waved his hand, interrupting Xiao Jinzhi who was speaking in an urgent tone, and looked away from him, only focusing on Chu Huanyan.

"The prince thinks the queen is not the murderer, so what do you think?"

Chu Huanyan lowered her head and replied, "To inform the emperor, I am only investigating in accordance with the emperor's order. The clues found in this case will be handed over to the emperor. As for the rest, I don't know anything about it."

"You're quite evasive." Emperor Xiao's tone was unclear.

"I dare not." Chu Huanyan lowered her head slightly, "However, there is still a lack of solid evidence for this matter. Maybe the Queen has been wrongly accused."

Emperor Xiao did not continue to ask any more questions, and just ordered everyone present to disperse. Today's events must not be spread out, and he immediately left Merlin.

But after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped again.

"You said before that the Queen mentioned the forbidden area to you?"

"Yes, my daughter was in danger when she entered the palace as a child and was rescued by a nun. I remembered it a few days ago and asked the old nuns in the palace about it, but she had passed away. After learning about it, the Queen Mother told My dear nanny once entered the forbidden area by mistake."

Chu Huanyan explained in her usual tone, sounding like she had nothing to hide.

Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan silently for a moment, without saying anything, and quickly left with Eunuch Zheng. After walking a certain distance, he ordered in a cold voice: "Send someone to interrogate the young eunuch carefully to find out whether he was instructed by the queen."

"Yes, I obey." Eunuch Zheng hurriedly responded. After speaking, he asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you think the Queen deliberately led Miss Chu and the Crown Prince to Merlin?"

Xiao Di's brows were creased and deep, "Ruozhi'er's matter really has something to do with the Queen. She should be the last person who wants Chu Huanyan to continue investigating."

……

At this moment, on the other side, in Fengyi Hall.

"Your Majesty, I really saw with my own eyes that His Highness the Crown Prince and Chu Huanyan entered the Plum Forest." Tao Yao spoke eagerly.

She could see it clearly at the time and there would be absolutely no problem.

"We have fallen into their trap." Queen Wei said in a gloomy tone.

Tao Yao was stunned, "Mother, what do you mean?"

"I'm afraid Chu Huanyan has already noticed that I wanted to lure her to the forbidden area on purpose, so she staged a trick in front of you. After you left, she immediately left Merlin, so that the guards would naturally not be able to search for them. As for them, The purpose, I guess, is to lure the tiger away from the mountain so that he can find Yan Rongmo in this palace." Empress Wei dug her nails into her palms from her hanging sleeves.

This time she was really careless and fell into Chu Huanyan's scheme. Now that the emperor is suspicious of her, if something is really found out...

"Have you taken care of all the things I asked you to take care of before?"

"Don't worry, Madam. After Youlan's death, the family has been silenced and the body has been disposed of. Even if someone finds out, they will never be traced to us." Taoyao immediately replied.

"We still can't take it lightly. We must not make any omissions during this period. Also..."

Queen Wei turned her head and looked at Taoyao with a deep look, "What's going on with that note?"
