An hour ago, in the Pepper Room.

Queen Wang was happy today and drank two cups. After returning to the palace, she took a hot bath and drank two cups of hangover tea. She couldn't sleep, so she sorted out old things in the palace and found many of Xiao Conghui's childhood clothes.

Looking at the clothes, I naturally thought of Xiao Conghui when he was little, and I was filled with emotion...

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming towards our palace."

After receiving the report from the eunuch, Nanny Biyun immediately reported back to Queen Wang.

"The Emperor must be thinking about the Empress, so he rushed here at this time. The Emperor has always treated the Empress very well," said Biyun.

Queen Wang felt warm in her heart after hearing this. Yes, she had been managing the harem for so many years. Even if she had no merits, she had worked hard. Besides, their children were married and would inherit the throne in the future. Could it be that the emperor would alienate her because of Chun'er?

Thinking of this, Queen Wang felt relieved and said, "Let's prepare to receive the emperor."

......

"You all go out and serve"

After Xiao Hanyi entered the inner hall, his face was gloomy.

The atmosphere was not right. Queen Wang's heart skipped a beat. Based on her understanding of Xiao Hanyi, something must have happened!

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

Biyun led the palace servants out.

She was worried about Queen Wang, so she asked others to retreat beyond the second gate and stayed at the door, listening attentively.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Queen Wang bowed and asked.

Xiao Hanyi sat down straight away, his eyes cold. "Since I ascended the throne, there have been many concubines in the harem, but no princes or princesses have been born. Some people say that the queen took action against the pregnant concubines. Is that true or not?"

This one sentence made Queen Wang feel cold from head to toe. She looked at Xiao Hanyi in disbelief. Today was their son's wedding day. Was he going to settle accounts?

Are you so impatient? Can't you bear it for even a day?

Holding back her tears, Queen Wang slowly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing."

For such a thing, let alone without evidence, even if the evidence is as strong as a mountain, I will never admit it.

At this moment, Queen Wang went over the people and things she had handled, as well as the people she and Xiao Conghui had dealt with a few days ago, in her mind. There should be no one who had escaped the net.

Xiao Hanyi snorted and laughed, "What a joke! You think I don't have any evidence?"

He looked straight at Queen Wang, his face expressionless.

Queen Wang felt a little guilty, with beads of sweat on her forehead, but she was determined not to admit it.

"Yes, I am innocent. Those who covet the throne are plotting against me. I have heard too many rumors."

Queen Wang met Xiao Hanyi's gaze and spoke steadily.

"Okay, okay, okay," Xiao Hanyi said three "Okays" in a row, "Think about it yourself, if I want to kill someone, do I really need evidence?"

He didn't want to continue talking to Queen Wang, so he issued an imperial decree directly.

"The Queen passed away on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding. I will give you dignity. If you are still alive when the sun rises tomorrow, I..."

At this point, Xiao Hanyi stood up and walked to Queen Wang, looking down at her coldly, "I can only make your crimes known to the world. By then, your son's position as crown prince will no longer be secure. Don't forget, I still have other sons."

After saying that, Xiao Hanyi strode away. Ever since he knew about Chun'er, he had been completely disgusted with Queen Wang. He had been enduring it for so many days, but now that the prince had been appointed, he didn't want to endure it anymore.

Based on his understanding of Queen Wang, she would definitely sacrifice herself for Xiao Conghui's position as crown prince.

In fact, he didn't want to punish Queen Wang publicly. If the things she had done were exposed, such a queen would certainly not be accepted by the subjects of the world, and Xiao Conghui's position as the crown prince would be criticized.

He doesn't want it!

So, he wanted Queen Wang to die of illness.

......

Xiao Hanyi had been gone for a while, but Queen Wang still hadn't come to her senses.

"My Lady, let me help you up, the ground is cold."

Nanny Biyun heard Xiao Hanyi's words clearly outside the door. She was so scared that her legs went weak at first, and then despair swept over her body. Later, she remembered the words "If the king orders his subject to die, the subject must die". Although she was unwilling, things had come to this point, and there was nothing else she could do but accept it.

Besides, as a slave, she had no choice. It was her honor to die for her master.

At this time, Queen Wang's mood gradually calmed down.

"Go, call the prince."

Queen Wang sighed deeply and gave the order.

"yes"
