The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

"Xu Zhaoyi, you were fine just now, how come you became like this?"

The emperor sat beside Xu Zhaoyi's bed, holding her hand, his face full of grief.

It took them a lot of effort to recognize each other and resolve the misunderstanding.

why?

Why is God so unfair to him?

His life has really become a joke.

Lu Shiwan and Mo Qitian stood sadly beside the bed, their eyes full of tears.

"Doctor Wang, what's going on?"

Doctor Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Majesty, the Queen was poisoned."

"what?"

The emperor's expression changed drastically. "Poison?"

"Who would dare to poison someone like this in front of everyone? Are you trying to save your life?"

Doctor Wang said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to find out what poison Concubine Zhaoyi was poisoned with. If we can find it, I'm afraid there is still room for recovery, but... time is running out."

The emperor immediately said to Eunuch Li, "Seal off the palace. No one is allowed to leave the banquet. Investigate for me. Investigate thoroughly! Do not let go of any clues."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Li hurriedly withdrew after hearing this.

Pei Yutong sat in his seat, looking at the people busying themselves.

retribution.

Well deserved.

Princess Pei leaned close to Pei Yutong's ear and said, "Yutong, at this critical moment, if you go up to show concern for Concubine Xu Zhaoyi, the emperor will definitely look at you again."

"Don't Prime Minister Jiang and Minister Ye want to marry their daughter to Prince Qi?"

"This prince's consort would like to see where their sincerity lies!"

Pei Yutong said with a gloomy face: "Mother, they are deliberately not letting their daughter get married, why bother?"

"Huh? We have to do this just because it was intentional."

"Otherwise, how can we show our differences?"

Pei Yutong pondered it for a while and gritted his teeth.

"In that case, my daughter can go."

"Well, when you become Mo Qitian's woman, your mother will also benefit from it in the future. Yutong, you must behave well."

Pei Yutong smiled shyly and said, "Yes, mother."

If Mo Qitian became the emperor, she would be the concubine.

So what if she's a concubine?

At worst, she could become the queen.

As long as... she eliminates all those who stand in her way, is she afraid that the position of queen will slip away?

Thinking of this, she stood up without hesitation and pinched her thigh hard.

"Empress Zhaoyi, wuwuwu..."

She walked towards the hall crying, and people around her made way for her.

At this moment, many women in the hall whispered:

"Xu Zhaoyi was fine just now, why did she collapse as soon as Princess Qi left?"

"That's right, could it be Princess Qi who did it?"

"No way? Princess Qi is Prince Qi's biological mother and her mother-in-law. What motive does she have?"

"Just now Pei Yutong tried to marry Prince Qi, and Xu Zhaoyi didn't say a word the whole time. It's possible that Princess Qi was angry with her."

"Shh, don't say such things casually."

"Why not? Isn't this a search? If I tell you, it's also providing clues, right?"

"..."

After hearing this, some noble ladies shouted, "Queen Dowager, it was clearly Princess Qi who was serving Xu Zhaoyi just now. But after a while, Xu Zhaoyi got into trouble. It must be related to Princess Qi."

"I think that Princess Qi should be interrogated thoroughly."

"Yes, yes, I think so too."

Many people began to describe loudly what had just happened, and the Queen Mother kept raising her eyebrows as she listened.

Concubine De spoke immediately.

"Queen Dowager, Princess Qi is Sister Xu's daughter-in-law. It is impossible for her to do such a thing. Moreover, she and Prince Qi are in love with each other. How could she assassinate her own mother-in-law?"

Concubine Duan echoed, "That's right, Queen Mother. I believe in Princess Qi."

A Ni took a deep breath, then walked to the front of the hall and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Empress Dowager, I am the wife of the governor. I just met Princess Qi who was alone in the garden admiring the flowers. We chatted for a while. Princess Qi is indeed a person of temperament."

"Although in ancient times, there was a Crown Princess who killed the Queen Mother with her own hands, and later a Princess became the Emperor, I believe she will not do that."

The word "Empress Dowager" made the Queen Mother look up and examine Her Majesty's A Ni.

"Look up."

A Ni kept her eyes on the floor and raised her chin slightly.

The Queen Mother was shocked when she saw this.

Even Concubine De and Concubine Duan were shocked.

"You are...you said you are the governor's wife?" Defei couldn't help but speak.

This is clearly Fang Zhirou. When did she become the wife of the governor?

"Yes." A Ni said calmly, "My name is A Ni, and I am the successor of the master."

"Queen Mother, I hope you don't misunderstand Princess Qi. This matter must have been planned by someone else. How could Princess Qi have such a big ambition?"

Lu Shiwan, who was behind the screen, couldn't help but sneer after hearing what was said in the hall.

Mo Qitian walked forward and gently patted Lu Shiwan's shoulder, "I'm here."

"Ah."

Seeing how calm the two were, the emperor couldn't help but speak.

"You two unfilial sons, your mother is already like this, and you still have the mood to be sick here?"

"I think you guys might as well just piss me off to death."

Lu Shiwan glanced at Mo Qitian, walked up and said, "Father, don't you suspect that it's your daughter-in-law?"

"Suspect you?"

The emperor snorted coldly, "I really want to doubt you!"

"But last time Xu Zhaoyi almost died, and you saved her. If you really wanted her to die, you would have just stood by and watched. Why wait until today?"

"Since the emperor knows, why is he still here and not going out to catch the person who poisoned him?"

The emperor saw this and threw his sleeves, "I'm going to catch him, what are you doing?"

"You spend the whole day out there hanging out with those women and watching shows. Do you think I don't know?"

"Thank goodness it wasn't you who took the initiative, otherwise I would have agreed to the matter with Prince Pei's daughter a long time ago."

Lu Shiwan curled the corner of her mouth. So, the emperor knew everything about what she did outside the palace?

"Father, are you so smart?"

"My daughter-in-law is out there, that's called self-defense. You can't let others bully you and say that our royal daughter-in-law is cowardly, right? You can't save your face!"

"Sharp-tongued!" Then he said to the puzzled imperial physician beside him, "Everyone go out and say...Xu Zhaoyi is dead!"

"Ah?" Doctor Wang was stunned.

"Your Majesty, I dare not!"

"I forgive you for not being guilty."

Imperial Physician Wang then walked out tremblingly and shouted loudly to the outside of the hall: "Xu Zhaoyi has passed away."

The words fell.

The whole audience burst into tears instantly.

The Queen Mother fell to her seat trembling, unable to hold back her tears.

"How could this be?"

She then suppressed her grief, stood up with the help of a chair, and prepared to go see Xu Zhaoyi.

Doctor Wang immediately stopped the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, please wait here."
