The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

The latter lowered his head in shame.

Ning Huaixuan drank a lot today, so Concubine Xian asked, "Wei Shi... Young Master Wei, what's going on?"

Wei Zheng threw Shen Yihang to the ground. Although he was poisoned, he was quite strong and could beat a scholar without any chance to fight back. Wei Zheng bowed and replied, "Replying to Empress Xian, I don't know where this person came from. He was lingering outside the wing room. I happened to pass by here and saw him acting suspiciously. After asking him, I realized something was wrong."

Shen Yixing was beaten black and blue. It was quite difficult to tell what he originally looked like.

Wei Zheng held up the pig head by its collar and showed it to everyone, "Look, everyone, who is this person? Who did he follow to get in?"

Concubine Xian knew that this was naturally the work of her sister, and it would be best to cover it up, so she said, "This man is so bold that he dared to covet Miss He. He is really a scum. In my opinion, there is no need to question him. Just give him twenty lashes and throw him out of the palace. Your Majesty...what do you think?"

Ning Huaixuan felt a little dizzy, so he waved his hand and said, "Everything is up to Concubine Xian."

Shen Yixing was beaten so hard that his head became even more dizzy. He kept kowtowing, "Mercy - mercy -"

"Empress Dowager——" He Hui's eyes had turned slightly red without her noticing, as if she had suffered a great injustice. She must have been frightened because she had been silent just now.

Then she knelt down before the Empress Dowager and said, "Please, Empress Dowager, make the decision for me!"

"Get up and talk."

He Hui shook her head. "Please listen to me, Queen Mother. I was just changing into new clothes with the palace maids when I saw this lewd lecher from nowhere, daring to peek inside the palace! If Master Wei hadn't happened to pass by here, I... Woo woo woo - my reputation is ruined!"

What a shame to lose one's reputation!

The future empress's reputation was in jeopardy, and the matter suddenly became serious. A mere punishment of twenty strokes of the cane seemed a bit light.

Concubine Xian looked a little unhappy, and leaned forward and said, "Empress Dowager, this palace banquet was hosted by me, and such a pervert sneaked in and almost caused Miss He to get into trouble. It's my fault for not doing my job well, please punish me, Empress Dowager."

The queen mother also looked unhappy and said, "You also know that you are not doing your job well..."

Concubine Xian also had her own pride. She knew that the Empress Dowager looked down on her, but there seemed to be no other way but to endure it. Even if she cursed the Empress Dowager in her heart, she still had to pretend that she was wrong.

"Miss He, I am also responsible for this matter. According to Miss He, how should we punish that person?"

He Hui seemed a little scared and looked back at the bruised face. Her heart was trembling and her clear eyes were full of fear. She said, "Your Majesty, we must know where this person got in from, right?"

Are we going to get to the bottom of this?

Empress Xian was just about to tactfully suppress the matter, saying that there were too many people around and no one among the guests had seen this person, let alone knew his identity, so it was not impossible to investigate.

The next moment, before Concubine Xian could speak, Wei Zheng cupped his hands, looking extremely sincere, "Replying to Concubine Xian, this person... I do have some impression of him..."

"Oh?" Empress Xian fiddled with her long nails, not knowing what Wei Zheng was planning. "Tell me about it."

"This person looks familiar to me. That day at the Marquis of Chengyang's mansion, he repeatedly harassed Miss He. He was then taken to the government by the servants of the Marquis of Chengyang's mansion. I don't know how he got out later..." Wei Zheng had something to say. He pretended to look at Wu Ya, who was fidgeting, and smiled, "But I think the princess should have a better impression of her than I do."

"Nonsense!" Wu Ya held the handkerchief and retorted, "Master Wei, please don't talk nonsense. This princess doesn't even know this person!"

"I don't know him?" Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Then why do I remember that when we were at the Daxiangguo Temple, the princess always called him Shen Yixing. Could it be that I am deaf?"

Speaking of Daxiangguo Temple, there were many families of dignitaries here that day. After hearing what Wei Zheng said, they all started whispering. However, due to the power of the Wu family, they were smart enough not to say anything even if they knew.

The situation was tense for a moment, and Concubine Xian couldn't hold back her expression. She asked, "Ya'er, do you know this person?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know him. Young Master Wei can confuse right and wrong and wrongly accuse me for no reason. Please understand." Wu Ya raised her chin, a little proud. Even if they knew that she was the one who instigated this matter, what would it matter? The Wu family was in its heyday, and they couldn't defeat her even if they worked together.

"Empress Dowager, this may be a misunderstanding, but since Miss He was frightened, I will naturally make the decision for her. How about beating this man to death with sticks?" Wu Xian smiled, waiting for the Empress Dowager's decision.

After sitting on the cork chair for a long time, the body was inevitably a little tired. The Queen Mother changed her posture and said, "Just do as Concubine Xian said."

They may each have several thoughts in their minds, and for some things, digging into the root of the matter may not be a good idea.

Concubine Xian personally helped He Hui up, stroked her hand, and smiled, "Miss He was frightened. Come, drag this man away and beat him to death! Remember to drag him far away. Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and it is really not appropriate to see blood."

Shen Yixing also came to his senses at this time, and screamed, "Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me! Princess! Princess, save me!!"

This banquet was ridiculous. The empress dowager was tired and went back first. The heating in the warm room was strong enough that the slightest bit of alcohol could be amplified several times. Ning Huaixuan got up and went back to the palace.

After seeing His Majesty off respectfully, everyone felt somewhat happy.

He Huihong looked at Wei Zheng from a distance, then took a sip of tea with her lips pressed down.

In the distance, in the bitter cold of winter, two people holding huge official boards were carrying out an execution. Shen Yihang was beaten to a bloody mess. The blood solidified on the ground in the cold winter. The person lying on the board occasionally let out earth-shaking roars, until the sound gradually faded and finally disappeared...

Both of the executioners were sweating. He placed his finger in front of his nose and said, "My Lord, the man is dead."

The official who was watching the execution waved his hands and said, "Throw him into a mass grave. It's really unlucky to see blood at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet!"

Inside the warm room, it was like spring, people were enjoying flowers and writing poems, which were elegant things. No one would care about an unknown person, let alone Shen Yixing who was beaten to death by clubs.

He Hui twisted the teacup and smiled somewhat lonely. It was not surprising that these things happened in the deep palace.
