Feng Yuqi's retort to Concubine Shen was simply an attempt to exonerate that bastard Feng Dezhe, confusing right and wrong and putting the blame on someone else.

The emperor was annoyed by their quarrel and stopped them from arguing.

Feng Yuqi walked past Concubine Shen, knelt down and told the story of how he was looking for someone.

After listening to all of their stories, the emperor asked several questions about his doubts. Just as he was about to speak with a gloomy face, the eunuch came in hurriedly and said: Prime Minister Shen is asking to see you outside the palace gate.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine Shen. Concubine Shen straightened her back and looked at him for a moment, then she prostrated herself on the ground, tearfully begging the emperor over and over again to seek justice for her De'er.

The emperor asked the eunuch if it was only Prime Minister Shen.

The eunuch went out to verify, and came back a moment later to whisper: Prime Minister Shen did not bring other court officials and disciples with him.

The emperor noticed the flash of surprise in Concubine Shen's eyes and ordered Prime Minister Shen to come into the palace. Feng Yuqi was imprisoned and no one was allowed to visit or approach her without his order.

After Feng Yuqi was taken away, the emperor stood up from the dragon throne, slowly went over to help Concubine Shen up, wiped her tears, and after comforting her with kind words, he called dozens of armored guards and ordered the eunuch who served him to lead the armored guards to personally escort Concubine Shen back to the palace.

He also said: In order to prevent Concubine Shen from being overly sad and doing something harmful to her body, armored guards are required to guard outside Concubine Shen's palace day and night to monitor and protect her safety.

Concubine Shen widened her eyes and protested excitedly.

The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch immediately walked to Concubine Shen and shouted, "Escort the queen back to the palace."

After Concubine Shen was sent away, the Emperor sat back on the dragon throne. He stared at An Lan and the other two who were still kneeling on the ground with gloomy eyes for a long time, and asked in a cold voice where Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng were.

An Lan and the other two followed the emperor's sedan chair into the courtyard where Su Yunxuan and Su Changfeng were.

After the emperor got out of the sedan chair, he ordered An Lan and the other two to wait in the courtyard and not to go in. He went in alone.

About half an hour later, the emperor came out, got into the sedan chair without saying a word, and called An Lan and the other two to leave with him.

The group walked to the imperial study, where Prime Minister Shen was already waiting.

After Prime Minister Shen finished his ceremony, the Emperor sat down in front of the desk. Without waiting for Prime Minister Shen to speak, he ordered Pei Qianluo to kneel down and tell Prime Minister Shen what had happened.

After Pei Qianluo finished speaking, the emperor ordered An Lan and A Yi to narrate what they had seen and experienced respectively.

After the three of them told the truth, the emperor stared at Prime Minister Shen with an extremely ugly expression without saying a word.

Prime Minister Shen's face turned pale, his lips trembled as he stood up and knelt before the case to plead guilty: "I, your old minister, failed to teach my sister and De'er well. I am ashamed of the trust placed in me by the emperor."

Seeing his attitude, the emperor felt relieved, stood up and went to support him, saying: "Shen Qing, your words are too serious. You are a three-generation old minister of Fenglan. I was appointed to this position in a time of crisis, but I have not been able to bring any benefits to the people of Fenglan. I just want to entrust Fenglan to reliable people before I die. Are you willing to help me?"

Prime Minister Shen lowered his eyes and nodded.

The emperor patted him on the shoulder and ordered the eunuch to escort Prime Minister Shen out of the palace.

After dealing with Prime Minister Shen, the Emperor drove An Lan and the other two out.

An Lan led Pei Qianluo and Ayi to the yard where Su Changfeng was, and found that the yard was guarded by armored guards and no one was allowed to enter.

Ayi refused to accept the argument and argued with the armored guards that the people inside were her master and sister...

The armored guard didn't listen to her at all and drew his sword.

An Lan hurriedly grabbed Ayi and took her and Pei Qianluo to Fushou Palace.

In the dead of night, a sedan quietly carried the weak Su Yunxuan away.

The sedan chair stopped next to another sedan chair outside Concubine Shen's courtyard.

Inside the sedan, the emperor coughed and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Yes. Thank you." Su Yunxuan answered with clenched fists.

"Send her in." the emperor ordered.

Su Yunxuan was carried into Concubine Shen's courtyard.

The sedan chair came down, and the eunuchs carrying it quickly left.

Su Yunxuan stood up by holding the wall of the sedan chair, and when she opened the curtain, she saw Concubine Shen standing not far away, staring at her with hatred in her eyes.

Su Yunxuan forced herself to get out of the sedan chair and walked a few steps towards Concubine Shen. She didn't bow, but straightened her back as much as possible and said, "I know you want to kill me. Now that I am standing in front of you, I am ready to die. But I am unwilling to die..."

"Whether you are willing or not, you will die." Concubine Shen interrupted fiercely, took a few steps to Su Yunxuan and slapped her in the face.

Su Yunxuan was beaten so hard that she staggered back several steps and only managed to stand steady by holding onto a pillar.

Without even raising her head, she shouted, "Feng Deze deserved to die. If I had known earlier that he was the one who killed my parents, I should have tried to kill him when I first returned to Fenglan Capital."

"Your parents?" Concubine Shen was surprised. "Are you talking about Feng Zihao and Lu Qingxi?"

"Yes." Su Yunxuan straightened her back and walked towards Concubine Shen step by step. "Maybe it's not just him. You are also involved? And back then, were you the one who planned to separate my parents?"

Concubine Shen remained silent. Although her eyes were still staring at Su Yunxuan who was approaching with disgust, her mind was thinking whether what Su Yunxuan said about Feng Dezhe killing Feng Zihao and Lu Qingxi was true.

"It was you!" Su Yunxuan continued, "Back then, it was you who teamed up with the Queen to poison my mother and me, and then used us to frame my father, wanting to get rid of him and pave the way for your son."

She spoke one sentence at a time, her tone becoming more and more certain. Concubine Shen sneered, stepped aside to avoid her outstretched hands, and said sarcastically, "You still want to be a ghost who knows everything before you die. I won't do as you wish and will not tell you anything."

Su Yunxuan had not expected to actually run into Concubine Shen, so she just made a gesture as if she was reaching out to grab her, without using any strength at all.

Concubine Shen dodged and Su Yunxuan fell down, crawling on the ground, trying her best to pretend to be extremely embarrassed and about to die.

Concubine Shen looked at her with satisfaction, and was reluctant to kill her immediately.

After a while, Su Yunxuan raised her head, glared at Concubine Shen with an extremely unwilling look, and cursed: "You dare to do it but you dare not take responsibility for it. I curse you to die a miserable death, and curse Feng De Ze to go to the nine levels of hell, and never be reborn..."

"Shut up." Concubine Shen shouted, and walked forward and grabbed Su Yunxuan's hair.

Su Yunxuan felt a pain on her scalp, but she didn't even frown. She looked at Concubine Shen and smiled, "I heard that people who are unwilling to resign will have a lot of resentment after death. Do you think that a ghost like me, who was born with a noble family but lived a lowly life, would be particularly powerful? You wait, I..."

With goose bumps all over her body, Concubine Shen pushed Su Yunxuan away.

Su Yunxuan sarcastically said, "So you are afraid of ghosts too. Then have you seen the ghost of Concubine Ye Yingbai floating behind you?"

Concubine Shen's eyes widened instantly and she turned around with a look of disbelief.

"Empress Ye, Aunt Ye," Su Yunxuan continued, staring at Concubine Shen with a smile on her face, "Are you here to pick me up? I almost forgot what you look like. You are floating in Concubine Shen's palace. Was it Concubine Shen who killed you? Let me tell you, she also killed..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Shen turned around twice in panic and saw nothing. After listening to Su Yunxuan's words, she turned around and saw the expression on her face, and shouted in fear and anger.

Su Yunxuan didn't look at her, raised her hand to the void and said: "Grandma, let me tell you, she is a coward who dares to do things but not to take responsibility. When I die, we will pester her every day together..."

"You damn bitch, I told you to shut up." Concubine Shen rushed to Su Yunxuan again, grabbed her hair with both hands and shook it violently.

Su Yunxuan was pulled up with her head tilted back, but she looked at Concubine Shen stubbornly with a sinister smile.

Concubine Shen was so frightened that she let go and slapped Su Yunxuan hard on the cheek again.

Su Yunxuan's head tilted and she vomited a large mouthful of blood. She crawled on the ground and tried to get up several times but failed. She was gasping for breath and it seemed like she would die at any moment.

Just at this moment, a sharp cat cry was heard, followed by a gust of cold wind that blew out a large lantern that was lit in front of the door.

The light dimmed instantly.

Concubine Shen frowned, hesitating whether to call out a few people who were left inside, and then she heard Su Yunxuan's sinister sneer.

"Hehehe....Hehehe, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility, you are afraid of ghosts..."
