The eunuch's words contained irrefutable evidence, indicating that Xiao Shengxing was the murderer.
Xiao Shengxing looked at the eunuch, who turned his head away tremblingly, not daring to look him in the eye.
Looking at the eunuch's flickering eyes, Xiao Shengxing felt a little cold in his heart. It seemed that this was Xiao Zhaolin's man.
Xiao Zhaolin roared angrily at the emperor almost as the eunuch finished speaking: "Your Majesty, I am also a royal relative, a relative of yours. Is this how you treat me? Why did you kill my concubine?"
The Queen Mother also shook her head in anger: "Your Majesty, why did you do this? This woman is so innocent."
The commotion here also attracted many palace servants to watch, but when they saw the corpses on the ground, their faces turned pale. They only dared to watch from afar and did not dare to come over at all.
They were afraid of the emperor, fearing that they would also become victims of his sword.
Obviously, they also believed that the emperor was the murderer.
"What are you doing gathering here? What happened ahead?" Suddenly, a majestic female voice came from the palace maid.
As soon as the palace maids saw the woman's phoenix robe, they all knelt on the ground.
"Empress, the Emperor raped the Crown Prince's soon-to-be-married concubine... and out of rage and shame, he murdered..."
After they finished speaking, they all looked at the corpse on the ground, their eyes full of panic.
After Yan Jia heard this, satisfaction flashed across her eyes, but no one noticed her expression.
Everyone just saw her with a look of surprise on her face. She took a few quick steps towards that end, and when she saw the corpse, she took a few steps back in horror.
"how so……"
She turned to look at the emperor: "Your Majesty, did you really do this?"
Yan Jia's delicately made-up face showed disbelief and deep sadness. The tears dripping down her face accused her of others' infidelity.
Xiao Shengxing glanced at her. The tears that appeared on the face he was very familiar with made him look unhappy.
This face belonging to Su Lijin, with this expression at this moment, is really unpleasant.
"Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do it."
He said.
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother shook her head in disappointment, her anger surging: "Your Majesty, I have painstakingly taught you for so many years, trying to make you a wise ruler, and this is how you take human life so lightly?"
"You disappoint me so much."
As she spoke, she looked at the emperor with her majestic eyes and said, "In the next few days, you should think about it in the palace and think carefully about the virtues of being an emperor."
"Queen Mother, I said it, I didn't do it."
Xiao Shengxing's eyes darkened slightly, and he turned to look at the eunuch. "You accused me of murder, but you weren't on duty here just now. How did you know that?"
The eunuch was startled, and Xiao Zhaolin gave him a quick look.
With shaking hands, the eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty, if you want to threaten me, I dare not refute you. Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, I will die to prove my point!"
Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing moved, but it was too late. The eunuch had already bitten his tongue and committed suicide.
Blood flowed from the eunuch's mouth, and the man who had just been shouting alive immediately turned into a cold corpse.
"He's dead. He actually bit his tongue and committed suicide..."
Everyone looked at this situation and looked at the emperor with even more fear and terror, as if the emperor would kill them if he just looked at them.
"Your Majesty, now that you have killed two people, are you still going to be stubborn?" Xiao Zhaolin asked, hiding the sneer on his face.
Xiao Shengxing tightened his grip slightly and pursed his lips. He was speechless and had no way to defend himself.
Just when the blame was almost placed on the emperor, a figure slowly walked over outside the quiet pavilion.
"Why would the Emperor be interested in Li Furong? You think too highly of that woman."
Hearing this, everyone was startled and turned to look at the person who spoke.
The person who was speaking was wearing a cool, thin dress. The material of the clothes wrapped her body curves very delicately and beautifully, and her fair skin made people feel as if it was as delicate as a baby's.
When she walked over, the breeze blew, and that stunning face gave people the illusion of floating in the air.
Who is this beautiful person?
Everyone was full of doubts, and couldn't hide the surprise in their eyes.
The woman walked over seductively and leaned against the emperor. The emperor did not resist and let her get closer.
She only laughed sweetly and said, "With me now, how could the emperor look at Li Furong?"
When you look at her beauty and then look at Li Furong on the ground, the two are compared and Li Furong looks so ugly. There is really no comparison.
Therefore, these words made them feel somewhat credible.
"Where are you from, woman? How dare you act rashly in front of me?" The Queen Mother asked dissatisfiedly.
The woman just smiled and looked at the emperor. The emperor's black eyes looked at her, and their eyes met in the air, with unspeakable affection.
This kind of eye contact was something that no one had ever seen before. They had never seen an emperor look at a woman in this way.
Xiao Zhaolin's eyes were also filled with amazement. Thinking of the current situation, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes to look at her, and suddenly said: "You are Shiqi! You are Shiqi now!"
He recognized that this woman was Shiqi!
"Assassin?" Everyone was shocked.
Su Lijin, dressed as Shiqi, showed a sad expression: "Your Majesty, His Highness said this to me, I am so sad."
"I'm here to accompany the Emperor on the Queen's orders, right, Her Majesty?"
He threw the question to Yan Jia, his eyes full of provocation.
Yan Jia was already filled with jealousy when the woman appeared, and was caught off guard when he was asked this question out of the blue.
She looked grim, she didn't know this woman at all.
Su Lijin continued, "My Lady, I am your cousin. You don't forget me, do you?"
"But the Empress herself said that she was worried that she couldn't take good care of the Emperor, so she asked Shiqi to accompany him."
She is actually the cousin of the former queen?
This made Yan Jia's heart skip a beat. Fearing that she would be exposed, she quickly agreed: "I remember now, it is true. Ahaha, Shiqi, you must take good care of the emperor."
As she spoke, she covered her forehead and said, "Well, I feel a little dizzy. There are too many human lives involved. I am really in a bad mood..."
Looking at her expression as she hurriedly tried to cover up her mistake, Su Lijin just smiled without saying anything.
Yan Jia, this woman, must be shocked and suspicious at this moment, and she can't find any reason to refute.
Haha, I finally gave her a surprise blow.
However, it's hard to find too much fault with her reaction.
After several face-to-face encounters, Su Lijin knew very well that Yan Jia was a man with deep scheming and was quite flexible in dealing with emergencies.
Xiao Zhaolin, who was standing by, was surprised when he heard this and looked at Su Lijin in amazement.
Is this Shiqi actually the Queen’s cousin?
Does she still have this identity?
