Yan Jia was stunned and suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Queen, did you kill all these people? I never thought you could be so bloodthirsty and cruel!"
She looked up and saw that the person coming was Emperor Xiao Shengxing. Behind him stood the empress dowager and a dozen guards.
The Queen Mother quickly lowered her head and recited Buddhist scriptures: "Oh, what a sin! So many people died!"
Only then did Yan Jia understand what Su Lijin meant by "no rush".
It turned out that she had already thought of a plan to make herself the murderer!
"Your Majesty, I didn't do anything. I didn't kill anyone..." she argued.
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes were cold and gloomy. "These lives are right before your eyes, the knife is in your hand, and the evidence is all there. Do you still want to quibble?"
The Queen Mother's face was also full of disappointment: "Queen, if you didn't kill him, how do you explain the blood on your body and the knife in your hand?"
"No, it's really not my fault."
Yan Jia was a little flustered, and the knife fell to the ground with a bang.
Only then did she realize that her body, which had just been immobilized, could actually move.
She pointed at Su Lijin and said, "It was her! She framed me!"
Su Lijin was horrified. "Just now, it was Your Majesty who suddenly killed so many people. I didn't do anything. Your Majesty, please don't frame me. I don't have any blood on me, and I didn't hold a murder knife."
When everyone looked, they saw that Shiqi's body was indeed clean, without a single speck of blood.
She looked very innocent, and a little pale as if she had been frightened. In contrast, it made people believe her words.
Yan Jia glared at her fiercely.
This woman is really good at framing others. Now I have become a murderer. What should I do?
She was a little flustered and didn't know what to do, but at this point, it was already a dead end with no way to argue. How could she break out of it?
Yan Jia was unwilling to accept this. She couldn't just let herself be tricked like this.
This woman, Su Lijin, had never been her match before. She didn't expect that she was so scheming this time. She was careless and let this woman take advantage of her.
But no matter what, she must not let her succeed!
That’s right!
Suddenly thinking of Shi Qi's true identity, Yan Jia immediately felt the urge to fight back and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I must tell you the truth. Shi Qi is not my cousin at all. She is the imposter who was thrown into the Heavenly Prison before!"
Su Lijin had been looking at Yan Jia and had already seen her expression clearly. When she heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't feel panic at all because of being exposed.
Being a counterfeit and becoming a counterfeit is something that happens only once in a century.
A hint of undercurrent flashed through the depths of Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes, but he simply turned his head and asked, "Shiqi, is what she said true?"
The Queen Mother was shocked by the news: "Queen, what are you talking about? She is the woman who pretended to be the Queen? Shouldn't she be in the Heavenly Prison? How could she be here?"
Isn’t this Shiqi the Queen’s cousin?
How did he suddenly become a fake?
Facing the gazes of several people, she remained calm, just hunching her shoulders slightly, looking weak, and snuggled into the emperor's arms.
"Your Majesty, Shiqi has been with you for so long, how could you still not be able to tell the difference?"
"Didn't the Queen Mother say that? The imposter is already in the Sky Prison. How could it be me?"
After saying that, she pretended to be sad and looked at Yan Jia: "Sister, I am your cousin Shiqi, how can you slander me like this? We are a family."
Since Yan Jia said that the person who pretended to be the queen was thrown into the Heavenly Prison, she used this sentence to refute her.
There was a dark light in Su Lijin's eyes.
Yan Jia was so angry that he wanted to say that the fake had escaped.
However, she was afraid of being exposed, so she did follow the woman's words and said that this person was her cousin.
This is inconsistent. If I continue to insist that she is not my cousin, I will be contradicting myself and overturning my previous statement.
Yan Jia opened his mouth and stomped his feet fiercely.
This woman is really hard to deal with!
Seeing her frustrated look, Su Lijin raised the corner of her mouth, then lowered it again, and said sternly, "Although the Queen is Shiqi's sister, the way the Queen killed people was so cruel that Shiqi couldn't help but feel uneasy after seeing it. Now that the evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty, please deal with it according to the law."
Yan Jia's face turned pale and he stepped back in a hurry. He didn't expect that everything he had planned would eventually lead him into a trap.
She begged for mercy in a hurry: "Your Majesty, you can't convict me. I...I'm pregnant!"
Thinking of the child in her belly, everyone in the palace assumed that this was the prince, and she immediately grabbed at straws.
"The child in my belly is your only child. You cannot arrest me, or the child will be in danger."
"You have committed so many murders, and that child followed you into this world to receive retribution." Xiao Shengxing said with a cold face.
The Queen Mother, who had originally wanted to plead for mercy, turned a little colder when she heard this.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Queen is pregnant, she will not be thrown into prison."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jia's eyes were filled with joy.
Before she could thank her, the Queen Mother's next words immediately dampened her joy.
"But so many lives cannot be lost in vain. Let's banish the queen to the cold palace."
Yan Jia turned pale with fright, and hatred surged in his heart.
She secretly took out a handful of medicine powder from her hand, which she had stolen from Tan Tai Chun.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to sprinkle water on Su Lijin, he suddenly saw a big dog rushing towards him.
The powder fell to the ground. Yan Jia was frightened and fell to the ground. Thick blood immediately flowed from under his body.
