Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"All this has to start with the two lucky beads. Many years ago, Dayan was hit by natural disasters. The then emperor received a divination from a wandering monk, who said that only the two lucky beads in the east and north could resolve the disaster. The current Concubine Lian was one of the lucky beads that was counted as such.

My father probably remembered that when the emperor ordered Concubine Lian to enter the palace, she was already engaged. But the emperor's order was hard to disobey, so in order not to drag down the Taifu Mansion and her fiancé, Concubine Lian decided to enter the palace. But she was depressed, and after getting drunk, she tasted the forbidden fruit with her fiancé...for the first time.

Unexpectedly, this time she had a child. The child was diagnosed after entering the palace. Concubine Lian was reluctant to give up the child, so she begged her mother to keep the child. After the child was born, she was sent out of the palace in the name of premature death. At that time, Xiao Lu got the news from somewhere and used it as a handle to blackmail her mother.

Once the fact that Concubine Lian entered the palace pregnant was discovered, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, which would involve a wide range of people. Not only would Concubine Lian and the child sent out of the palace die, but the entire family of the Imperial Tutor's Mansion would also be implicated, and even whether His Highness could grow up healthily would become a problem. The Queen Mother had no choice but to sacrifice herself to save all the people she loved.

The Queen Mother had to make this decision, but she and Xiao Lu had known each other for a long time and they knew each other a little. So the Queen Mother invited Master Shouchu as a witness and made a gentleman's agreement. The Queen Mother went to her death calmly and left a will asking for Xiao Lu to be canonized as the successor. Xiao Lu abided by the agreement and must not harm anyone in the Taifu Mansion, nor treat or persecute the Crown Prince harshly. If Xiao Lu violated the agreement, Master Shouchu would make the truth of that year public. "

When Emperor Yanning heard this, veins popped up. He clenched his fists, closed his eyes in pain, and stroked the signature of Empress Mingzhen on the letter with his fingertips. Endless anger and sadness grew in his heart.

"Why didn't she tell me clearly?"

Xu Xingyin sighed, "Father, the Queen Mother... can't afford the gamble. Besides, when the Grand Emperor was still alive, there were some things that you could accept. What about the Grand Emperor?"

Emperor Yan Ning was speechless. He slammed his fist on the coffee table in pain, looked at Xiao Lu and shouted angrily.

"Little Lu, you forced her to death. You are so cruel!"

Xiao Lu later realized that she no longer had any room for excuses. The secret that she had carefully hidden for ten years had surfaced, which made her feel relieved.

She laughed, broke free from the guards who were blocking her, and cursed at Emperor Yan Ning.

"I am cruel? The most cruel person in the world is you! Do you know why Queen Mingzhen died? You keep saying you love her, but you don't know that she died because of you!"

Emperor Yan Ning was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"You thought that because you loved her, you gave her the honor of being a queen and the glory of being a legitimate wife, but you never knew that your love for her was the most poisonous poison in this harem! You thought I killed her, but do you know how many people in this harem wanted to kill her over the years? Look, you loved her, but you provoked so many women for no reason and made enemies for her everywhere. Your love is the culprit that killed her!"

Emperor Yanning frowned and subconsciously argued, "What nonsense! It's obviously you, a vicious woman with evil intentions, who killed my Zitong!"

"I have evil thoughts? Hahaha!"

Little Lu laughed like crazy, and as she laughed, tears began to fall.

"Everyone says that I tried my best to climb onto the dragon bed, in order to gain power and wealth. But no one pities me. The man I have loved all my life has never had me in his heart! Why am I so vicious? It is because as long as Queen Mingzhen is still alive in this world, you will not see me in your eyes! She is all you can think of, and it makes people jealous to the point of going crazy! Your Majesty, I have been with you for more than 20 years. Have you ever had any place for me and An'er in your eyes and heart? Even after Queen Mingzhen died, you only saw your son Jing Zhichen in your eyes! You see, it was your promiscuity and infidelity that killed her!"

Xiao Lu's emotions became more and more excited. He wiped his tears and continued.

"I have loved you all my life, and I have also hated you all my life. I hate that you turned a blind eye to me, and I hate that you didn't care about my son An'er. I hate myself even more... for not giving up even though I knew this!"

Listening to Empress Xiao Lu's accusations, Emperor Yan Ning didn't know whether he was touched or shocked. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart and he remained silent for a long time.

In the silence, a crisp voice rang out, breaking the tranquility in the hall.

"There are so many people in this world who cannot get the love they want. No matter what your reasons are, they should not be an excuse for you to kill someone! Queen, we will investigate the past in detail later. For now, please hand over the antidote for the poison that His Highness has been poisoned with."

The person who spoke was Crown Princess Xu Xingyin.

Upon hearing this, Empress Lu chuckled and said sarcastically.

"Antidote? Why should I hand over the antidote? If what happened back then is exposed, I will not be able to survive anyway. In this case, isn't it good to have the son of Queen Mingzhen accompany me on my way to the underworld?"

After Empress Lu finished speaking, Emperor Yan Ning realized belatedly that the most important thing at the moment was to save the prince!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yan Ning's face darkened, his eyes swept towards Xiao Lu like a knife, and his tone was grim.

"Little Lu! If you don't hand over the antidote, I will make you suffer all kinds of pain and make you regret coming into this world!"

Little Queen Lu was not moved at all, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth with disdain.

"I know that I am at the end of my rope today. Life and death are no longer important to me. Your Majesty has brought me sorrow throughout my life. Now, rather than seeing how I can end my life well, I want to see how your noble son slowly dies in my hands. How will Your Majesty explain this to Empress Mingzhen in the afterlife? I am really curious."

Emperor Yanning's face turned pale, and his tone was as deep as the abyss: "Hand over the antidote, and I can spare your life and allow you to spend the rest of your life in the cold palace."

After hearing what Emperor Yanning said, Empress Lu smiled sarcastically. "Look, every time the emperor gives alms, it has nothing to do with me. In this case, Jing Zhichen's life can be regarded as a reward for your years of neglecting me. Your son, Empress Mingzhen's son, his life and death are all ruined in your hands. I only regret that I didn't take his life directly back then, letting him live until now, so that you have the opportunity to plead for him!"

Emperor Yan Ning was now so angry that he could no longer suppress his rage. He strode forward in rage, wanting to grab Xiao Lu and force her to hand over the antidote, but was calmly stopped by Xu Xingyin.

"Crown Princess?" Emperor Yan Ning was confused.
