The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Huai Wei: "The courtyard was quiet at the time, but the front yard was very lively because of the wedding. We shouted "His Royal Highness" in the courtyard, but there was no response. We pushed open the door and went in. We saw blood all over the floor, but no sign of the prince.

"We followed the bloodstains on the ground and tracked out the window, and found His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by the pond not far from the back door of Xie's mansion.

"From the situation at the time, it seems that the murderer wanted to drown His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a pond, but we chased him and he didn't have time to hide the body, so we found it. That's why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is covered in blood and mud!"

Huai Qi added: "It was getting dark, and we saw the murderer's figure quickly disappearing, so we chased him and found that he had hidden in Xie's house."

Huai Wei: "We are very panicked when something like this happened to the Crown Prince. We dare not alert the enemy. We just want to quickly bring His Royal Highness back to the palace and ask the emperor to make a decision. We failed to protect His Royal Highness and let him be killed. It is not a pity for us to die, but please ask the emperor to avenge His Royal Highness!"

Dongfang Shuo knelt down in front of the emperor with a plop. "Father, it is all my fault that the crown prince died so tragically! If I had informed you of this when I suspected Lord Xie's background, the crown prince would have been able to avoid the disaster today! I was too cautious and did not inform you in time. Please punish me!"

Runxue also quickly stepped forward and knelt beside Dongfang Shuo. "Like my husband, I already knew about this, but I have too many concerns... After all, this matter involves the royal bloodline. Please punish me as well, father."

The Queen's gaze shifted from Dongfang Ye to Dongfang Shuo and his wife, and she was silent for a while.

The emperor's gaze shifted from Dongfang Shuo and his wife to the queen, and he said in a deep voice, "Queen, I'm going to ask you one last time, is Xie Lin your child? Are he and Ye'er twins?"

The queen still sat on the couch, neither speaking nor kneeling.

Nanny An suddenly knelt down: "Your Majesty..."

"Mammy!" the Queen suddenly spoke, interrupting her words. She then slowly stood up, knelt down in front of the Emperor, and prostrated herself on the ground with her upper body, performing a kneeling ceremony.

"Your Majesty," the Queen said in a hoarse voice, "Xie Lin is indeed your child and mine. He and Ye'er are indeed twins. But I only found out about this later, and I didn't intentionally hide it from Your Majesty."

Dongfang Ye is dead. The child she chose in the past, the child she pushed to the throne of crown prince, is dead.

She had to find a way out for herself and glory for the Yuan family. She had held on to the throne of Queen and the throne of Crown Prince for so long, how could she just give them up because of Dongfang Ye's death?

She won't let anyone!

She will never give up!

"Oh?" The emperor frowned, his eyes gleaming coldly, "Queen, please tell me what's going on."

Queen: "I used to treat Concubine Xie like a sister. I gave her all the good things first because I thought Concubine Xie was a kind person who deserved my sincere treatment. On the day I gave birth, she came to visit me. I was very touched at that time. After giving birth to my first child, I fainted from exhaustion and did not know that I had given birth to twins.

"It was Concubine Xie. At that time, she had no foundation in the palace and was not favored by the emperor. She took the initiative to send my child to the Xie Mansion for upbringing. Afterwards, she used this incident to threaten me and asked me to help her win the emperor's favor. During her pregnancy, she even asked me to use all my power to protect her safety and not allow anyone to harm her and Princess Anding.

"When I first met Xie Lin, I discovered that he not only looked like the Crown Prince, but also like Your Majesty. I was terrified at the time, worried that Your Majesty would know the truth and no longer favor me. I was also worried that the Yuan family would be implicated.

"Your Majesty, I did not intend to have twins. I did not deliberately deceive you by sending Xie Lin away. I have not told you the truth, and I have a hard time telling you the truth. For more than 20 years, I have always been unable to sleep at night and have nightmares one after another..."

The Queen's tears finally fell: "But giving birth to twins was my fault. Hiding the truth from the Emperor was also my fault. God took my Ye'er away like this, which is a severe punishment for me..."

She began to sob, her voice was sad and full of grief.

"Without Ye'er, I don't know how I can live. I really want to follow Ye'er like this."

Nanny An crawled to the Queen's side on her knees and said, "Your Majesty, please don't think like that. You still have Princess Pingyang, and even Master Xie... He longs for your motherly love."

The queen seemed to be awakened by these words. She crawled forward again and grabbed the corner of the emperor's robe.

"Your Majesty, I have owed Xie Lin since the day he was born. Now that I have lost Ye'er, I cannot lose Xie Lin again. Please allow Xie Lin to return to the palace, I beg you."

Dongfang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, this is a pitiful situation, but Lord Xie killed the Crown Prince's brother in order to fight for the position of Crown Prince. How can such a person be welcomed back into the palace?"

The Queen still held onto the Emperor's robe and looked up at him: "Your Majesty, today is the wedding day of Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. He has been in love with Chu Heyi for a long time, and it is impossible for him to kill Ye'er on such a happy day. This is very strange. Someone must have killed Ye'er to frame Xie Lin!"

The emperor did not speak, his face was livid, and his lips were tightly pursed, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment.

"Your Majesty, Xie Lin is not only my child, but also your child. We have already lost Ye'er, are you going to lose Xie Lin too? He is so outstanding that he was promoted from the position of the Supreme Court Justice to the position of Prime Minister without any help... He is truly a rare candidate for the crown prince!

"Besides, he completely disregarded his own safety for you in the past... How could a man like him kill his brothers and sisters? Your Majesty, we no longer have a crown prince. Please let Xie Lin come back."

The emperor still said nothing.

The queen was still weeping.

Runxue suddenly spoke up: "It turns out that the Queen has already known that Lord Xie is your child. So when my father was seriously ill, you stopped the genius doctor from treating him, which gave Lord Xie the opportunity to make a contribution. Lord Xie was directly promoted from the position of the Supreme Court Justice to the position of Prime Minister..."

The emperor looked at her, and Runxue immediately said, "Father, I am not saying that the Empress and Prime Minister Xie teamed up to deal with you. I just think that the incident is too strange and makes people suspicious."

The queen opened her mouth and was about to speak when the emperor raised his foot and kicked her hard in the heart. The queen vomited blood on the spot.

The emperor looked down at him and said, "The crown prince is gone, but I still have Prince Cheng and the Eighth Prince. The crown prince of Daqi does not have to be born to your queen. Yin Shao obeys my order."

Yin Shao immediately strode forward and knelt down.

"Pass on my order to depose the queen and banish her to the cold palace. Yin Shao, you must immediately lead your men to secretly surround Xie's residence and give Xie Lin and his newlywed wife a cup of poisoned wine!"
