Chapter 427 Pretend

The queen was slightly stunned.

What does he mean by this?

Is there something wrong with the edict of succession?

impossible!

At that time, her handkerchief had been deliberately fumigated with the drug. At such a close distance, he would definitely inhale it, which was why she asked him to write a name.

He just wrote whatever name he wanted!

Later, she opened the decree of succession and checked it, and found no problem.

"Empress, you are so stupid!" Emperor Jingming's face was full of sarcasm and contempt. If she had been content to be an empress, she would have been the empress dowager in the future.

But she just wants to act like a demon.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what I did wrong." The Queen said with a wronged look.

Emperor Jingming looked at Zhan Qingheng and said coldly, "Prince Rui, come here and take a good look at these conspiracy letters."

Zhan Qingheng only felt a chill going up from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

It made him feel like he was in a thousand-year-old ice cellar.

At this point, he was almost certain that his mother was involved in the rebellion.

Otherwise, my father wouldn't have said it in front of them.

He walked over quickly, and after reading the contents of each letter, he felt disheartened. These letters could fully prove the conspiracy between his mother and the old Marquis of Zhenbei.

Although there was no seal on it, he knew that the title was his mother's nickname.

"Mother, you..." Zhan Qingheng looked at her with complicated eyes. He was worried, but he didn't know how to save her.

Now the evidence is clear.

Even if the emperor shows leniency.

I'm sure the Crown Prince and Prince Jin will not let her go.

"They are just some letters, anyone can forge them. If there is no phoenix seal of mine on them, how can you prove that they were written by me?" The queen said indifferently.

She would never admit it.

What she is worried about now is the decree of succession. If there is a problem with it, she will be left with no trump card.

Emperor Jingming looked at her coldly and said angrily, "I will give you one more chance to confess. Think carefully before you answer."

After saying this, his eyes became extremely sharp.

The queen looked at him and saw disappointment, anger, ridicule and contempt in his eyes. She was startled and suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, I do want that position. Here is the decree of succession that you wrote with your own hands, and it is sealed with the imperial seal. The one who will inherit the throne is Qing Heng."

As she spoke, she took out the imperial edict from her sleeve pocket.

Except when she sleeps, she usually carries it with her.

Emperor Jingming pursed his lips and looked at her without saying a word, his face showing complete disappointment. He was just giving her a chance. If she confessed, he would spare her life.

But if she still insisted on fighting him, she would not be able to stay.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did you not take a good look at the imperial seal? That is a fake seal, not the imperial seal."

Emperor Jingming directly poured a basin of icy cold water on her.

"Impossible! I have checked, and the seal is real." The queen suddenly opened the edict, her hands trembling, and her heart was even more panicked.

There is really something wrong with the seal!

No wonder he was so calm and not anxious at all when he saw the imperial edict.

"Don't try to fool me. This is the seal." The empress showed the opened edict to those present, although she had never touched the imperial seal.

But I have also seen the seals made with it.

Emperor Jingming said coldly: "Qin Fu, go get her the real seal pattern."

Qin Fu replied: "Yes."

Soon, he went to the study and took out a piece of white paper with a red chapter printed on it. At first glance, it looked exactly like the imperial seal.

But if you look closely, you can find something different.

"Empress, the seal pattern on your edict is somewhat different from the seal in Eunuch Qin's hand." Nan Jiao said deliberately with gloating.

She saw it all at a glance.

The Emperor is worthy of being the Emperor.

He is setting a trap for the Queen.

It seemed that he mistook the Queen on purpose.

The empress looked at the seal of the imperial edict, then at the pattern in Qin Fu's hand, and soon discovered something different, and her face turned pale.

"I understand now. The emperor has been deceiving me." The queen tightly held the imperial edict in her hand and looked at Emperor Jingming angrily.

Emperor Jingming snorted expressionlessly, "The Queen has been deceiving me all along, and even drugged the Emperor and me. You are so brave!"

As he spoke the latter part, a fierce murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Damn her!

Zhan Qingheng felt as if he had fallen from heaven to hell when he heard this. He quickly ran to the queen's side and said, "Mother, you didn't do it, did you? I don't believe you would do this."

The queen saw the worry in his eyes and smiled with relief, "Qing Heng, mother did it."

This moment.

She had no chance to make excuses.

Because the emperor had been playing tricks on her all along, the one who was fooled was not him, but the self-righteous her.

"Mother, you..." Zhan Qingheng's eyes widened and his face turned pale. She actually admitted it in public. Did she give up?

The queen used her eyes to reassure him not to worry, and then looked at Emperor Jingming, "Your Majesty, when did you know that I drugged you?"

"Nan Jiao and his men discovered it after they returned from the State of Chu." Emperor Jingming said coldly.

The queen gasped.

It’s so early.

It turned out that she was the one who was wrong. They had kept her in the dark, but she still confidently thought that everything was under her control.

"When I first saw my grandfather, I found that he was physically abnormal. After examination, it was confirmed that he had been drugged and his brain nerves were damaged."

Nan Jiao said slowly that she was very curious about where the Queen got the medicine.

There must be someone else behind her.

The queen pursed her lips tightly, her cold eyes seemed to want to kill Nan Jiao. It was this bitch again. It was all because of her that she and her son were having trouble.

If she hadn't married Zhan Beiheng.

She never recovered her memory.

If she hadn't cured the prince, she wouldn't have had to take the risk.

Because of her appearance, everything went wrong for her and she never won against Qing Heng.

She is the nemesis of them and their son!

The first woman she hated was Xue Qinghe.

The second person I hated was Jiang Nanjiao.

They all deserve to die!

"After I left the capital, I gave the medicine to my grandfather and father. Although it cannot cure the disease, it can suppress it." Nan Jiao continued slowly.

The queen was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling.

Emperor Jingming looked at her and said, "After they went to Xian'an City, I was worried that they would not be able to find evidence, so I pretended to be seriously ill and even had hallucinations."

"I treated you as Qinghe in order to let you down your guard. Later, I deliberately provoked you and said that I would pass the throne to the crown prince, and you really took action."

"That night, the handkerchief was fumigated with drugs. I pretended to be unconscious and wrote the name of King Rui as you said, so that you would think you won."

"You must have been feeling very proud these days, thinking that you could make King Rui ascend the throne just by getting the decree of succession. What a foolish dream!"

As he spoke the latter, his face showed an unprecedented look of disgust.

The queen staggered, shaking with anger, her expression slightly distorted.

She thought she was acting.

I didn't expect that he acted more realistically than her.
