After rebirth, she became the prince's favorite

Half an hour later, Duke Sheng Zhao Xianghuai and his wife came to the East Palace.

The atmosphere in the palace was gloomy and depressing, making it almost hard to breathe.

Just as Zhao Xianghuai was about to salute, the emperor cast a cold and disgusted look at him, and said to him without beating around the bush, "Duke Sheng, I will tell you the truth directly. You are the queen's father, so you decide how to handle this matter."

The emperor said nothing, but gave Eunuch Li a wink.

Eunuch Li immediately stood up and told the story in a tone of deep disappointment and disbelief, how the Queen had an affair with a man in the deserted palace and how the blood recognition of Li Hexiong and Li Qingyun was incompatible with the Emperor, without any exaggeration.

"Duke Sheng, the Queen is the mother of the country and should be a role model for all women in the Great Zhou. How could she do such a thing? The Emperor was worried that he had wrongly accused her, so he performed the blood test three times, but none of them turned out to be Rong's."

Zhao Xianghuai and his wife were shocked and angry. They didn't expect that the queen would be so bold as to do such a cruel thing.

Eunuch Li added, "That man looks very similar to the Queen's previous fiancé, the young general of the Jin family."

Duke Sheng and his wife's faces turned even uglier, and they were filled with shock. Their daughter had volunteered to enter the palace to be the queen, so how could she still not forget the young general of the Jin family and do such a foolish thing?

"Queen, how dare you betray the Emperor? How could you do this?"

Zhao Yingxue's eyes were swollen like walnuts. She only now felt that she had been wronged. Her son and daughter were obviously the emperor's, but because she was caught in bed with the emperor, the emperor did not believe her at all. No matter how she explained, even if her lips were worn out, no one believed her.

"Dad, Mom, He'er and Qingyun are both the emperor's children. I don't know what's going on. Why can't they be integrated after the blood test? I think someone must have tampered with them. I don't know what the problem is."

Moreover, the bright and beautiful face of Yang Yufei appeared in her mind. That woman was cunning and had a blood feud with He'er. She must have framed herself and He'er, but she couldn't produce any evidence.

"You have lied ten thousand times, and even you believe it. Do you think I will still believe your lies? Duke Sheng, the result of the blood test is still in the bowl, go and see for yourself."

"As for what to do with her and these two bastards, you two can discuss it."

The emperor lost all courtesy towards Zhao Xianghuai and his wife, and his words were full of threats. If they didn't handle the matter of the queen and the two children properly, the entire Shengguo Mansion would have no chance of survival.

Eunuch Li couldn't stand the threatening look of the Queen, so he complained to Sheng Guogong in a shrill voice.

"The Queen also said that if the Emperor doesn't let her go, she will tell some of the secrets of the royal family to everyone in the world. Duke Sheng, you really raised a very good daughter. I admire you very much."

Duke Sheng was angry and anxious, and really wanted to strangle his daughter to death. That was the emperor who held the power of life and death over all people. What was the point of saying this? Did he want all nine or ten clans to be executed?

Zhao Yingxue fell to the ground with tears streaming down her face. "Dad, Mom, you must find a way to save me and the children. He'er and Qingyun are both innocent."

"Are you scared now? Why didn't you behave like a wife back then? You were married and yet you did such shameless things with another man. Is there any queen like you?"

Zhao Yingxue was almost drowned by the surging fear. She continued to beg Zhao Xianghuai, "It must be Yang Yufei who did this. Catch her and Yao Mingjin and torture them. We will definitely be able to get something useful out of them."

"It's true that I had that kind of relationship with other men, but the children are innocent."

The emperor's patience had reached its limit. "You are about to die, so stop making excuses. I won't believe any of your nonsense."

"You slept with another man, it couldn't be because of Yang Yufei's plot, right? Those two bastards were born by you and another man, and Yang Yufei didn't force you to have them, right? Duke Sheng, please give me a result as soon as possible."

The emperor's eyes were covered with a layer of frost, and there was a hint of sarcasm on the corners of his mouth, "I will give you the last bit of respect, don't let that be lost by then."

Zhao Xianghuai was really scared. He did not dare to hesitate. "The Queen, the Crown Prince, and Princess Qingyun have contracted the plague and died. Please, Your Majesty, leave their bodies intact."

The emperor really wanted to pour a basin of cold water on Zhao Xianghuai's face. He was so bold and even wanted the reputation of the queen and the prince and princess. He was dreaming!

"Zhao Yingxue colluded with Li Hexiong and Li Qingyun to poison the emperor and the queen mother, intending to rebel and usurp the throne. I demoted the three of them to commoners and gave them poisoned wine to end their lives."

"Zhao Yingxue is not my queen, and Li Hexiong and Li Qingyun are not the crown prince and princess. They were sentenced to death, so there is no need to wear mourning for them."

"Duke Sheng was fined three years' salary for not disciplining his daughter properly, and his first-rank official position was demoted to a third-rank official position. This is my greatest compromise!"

If he wasn't worried that the Queen would spread the affairs between him and Chu Xiaoxiao, it would not be an exaggeration for him to kill all nine generations of the Sheng family!

Duke Sheng and his wife turned pale, their hearts ached, but they still knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord, for your grace."

The emperor was unwilling to see the Zhao family. "Duke Sheng will handle the rest. I'll give you one stick of incense."

"Also, please watch your mouth, Duke Sheng. If anything bad about me gets out, I will blame you for it. The consequences will be something you won't be able to bear."

No matter how reluctant Zhao Xianghuai and his wife were, they had no way of begging for mercy in the face of the crime committed by their daughter. It was their daughter who was caught in bed with an adulterer. Neither of their children belonged to the emperor.

The evidence is irrefutable. If the emperor reveals these shameful things to others, the Zhao family will have no chance of survival. Other political enemies will also suppress them. They will surely be disgraced and have no place to be buried.

The Queen was so frightened by the Emperor's words that she was paralyzed and unable to move. Her head was buzzing and she couldn't believe her ears.

Zhao Xianghuai suppressed his heartache and asked Eunuch Li to bring a pot of poisoned wine and pour three cups.

"Xue'er, don't blame Dad for being cruel. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for going too far. We can't have a daughter like you who brings shame to the family alive. Get going."

Zhao Yingxue kept shaking her head, "Dad, Mom, you must have a way to save me, get me out of here."

Zhao Xianghuai was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore and said to the eunuch Li beside him, "Please ask someone to hold her down so that we can send Xue'er on her way."

The entire East Palace was filled with palace maids and eunuchs, and soon someone held down the queen.

Duke Sheng personally fed the poisoned wine into his daughter's mouth and forced her to swallow it. After a while, Zhao Yingxue began to bleed from all seven orifices and died completely.

Li Qingyun had her hands and feet tied up and her mouth blocked with a rag. She listened to the truth of the matter from the side and felt horrified and resentful. What had she done wrong? It was all her mother's fault for doing something shameful that led to her death.

She is innocent, why won't father let her go?

Immediately afterwards, Duke Sheng burst into tears and his fingers trembled, but his movements were not vague at all. He directly forced the poisoned wine to Li Qingyun and Li Hexiong.

In a short period of time, the queen and her two children lost their lives completely.

Duke Sheng and his wife knelt in front of their daughter's body, crying bitterly.

The emperor finally let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "Alright, Duke Sheng, take your wife back. I will find a random place to bury Zhao's body. I won't leave it to you."

Duke Sheng and his wife left the Eastern Palace in despair.

The emperor and eunuch Li also left this smoky and chaotic place.

After walking a distance, the emperor's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "I will have the imperial guards kill everyone in the East Palace, leaving no one alive."

He must not let anyone outside hear any news of being cuckolded.

Eunuch Li was shocked, but he didn't dare to show any abnormality, and said in a deep voice, "Yes."
