"careful!"
At this critical moment, Feng Qingqing shouted and instinctively rushed towards the Queen, standing in front of her.
Only the sound of the sword piercing through the flesh was heard. The sword in Minister Jiang's hand went straight through Feng Qingqing's heart. The tip of the knife came out from the back, stained with bright red blood.
Minister Jiang didn't expect Feng Qingqing to block the sword for the Queen and react so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and pulled out the sword that was stuck in Feng Qingqing's heart.
When everyone realized what had happened, Huang Feiyu hurriedly ordered people to control Minister Jiang to prevent her from hurting the empress again.
Minister Jiang is really going all out. He's clearly holding Feng Qingqing hostage, but he suddenly turns his sword to kill the Empress.
Killing the Queen is more satisfying, right?
"Hahaha," Minister Jiang allowed the Imperial Guards to hold her down, her chest heaving with laughter. She laughed for a while, then stopped laughing and looked at Feng Qingqing who was lying on the ground.
"Foolish, foolish! No matter how many times you block the sword for her, it won't change the fact that you are my daughter."
Blood stained Feng Qingqing's collar. Her face was pale, but a smile from the heart was on the corner of her mouth. She said weakly, "Does my doing this surprise you? That's right. Ever since I was old enough to understand, everyone thought I was stupid."
She just lay on the ground, saying a few words and taking a few breaths.
"Today I finally did it, to your surprise and surprise."
She looked up at the rooftop and laughed self-deprecatingly, "I blocked the sword for the emperor not because I wanted her to treat me the same way as before, but because I wanted to repay her for taking care of me over the years."
She is not a kind person, and is even extremely evil.
When she was a child, she often heard the Queen talk about the Queen and how smart she was.
At that time, she was wondering why she was the Queen's child but did not inherit her intelligence and wisdom.
She tried to study hard, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't learn anything. The teacher thought she was hopeless and didn't want to teach her anymore.
Later she gave up and became a complete playboy.
Feng Qingqing collected her thoughts and said, "I have never lived as clearly as I do today. Before, I didn't care about other people's lives and didn't consider the consequences, so I killed innocent people indiscriminately."
"But when it came time to give me the medicine, I hesitated."
She thought she was a selfish person, so selfish that she would not consider others, but the moment she took out the porcelain bottle.
The Queen's kindness to her kept coming to her mind, and the things she had previously taken for granted were like engraved on her mind and could not be erased.
This is the first time I have struggled so much in doing something and found it so difficult to make a decision.
So she chose to follow her heart.
The Queen moved her feet and walked to Feng Qingqing's side. She squatted down and looked at her face which was becoming paler and paler, with a complicated expression.
"I have committed many unforgivable crimes over the years. Now that I am dead, I can give the people an explanation."
Although this is far from enough.
She raised her neck with great effort, met the Queen's gaze, and smiled.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your care over the years. I am relieved that you are okay."
After she finished speaking, she looked in the direction of Yu Yiluo and said, "I understand now. I kidnapped you and Concubine Xian on purpose. Thank you for coming in time to rescue the Emperor today."
The following words became softer and softer. After she said the last word, Feng Qingqing closed her eyes, and her body, which she had barely held up, fell straight back to the floor, her arms hanging at her sides, and she stopped breathing.
The Queen squatted on the ground and looked at Feng Qingqing for a while, then closed her eyes, stood up and looked at Ling Le, and said softly:
"Let's arrange for the burial."
It was indeed difficult for her to accept that the child she had raised all these years was not her own, but compared to this, she was more concerned about where her child had gone.
Minister Jiang glanced at Feng Qingqing, who lay lifeless on the floor, and sneered, "Your Majesty is truly cold-blooded. After all, you raised her, and she even died blocking a sword for you, yet you refused to even speak a word to her."
The Empress quickly walked up to Minister Jiang, grabbed her by the neck, and sneered, "If she hadn't conspired with you to kill me, would you have had the chance to draw your sword and stab me? And now you're asking me to be grateful to you? How ridiculous."
"Tell me, what did you do to my child?"
She increased the strength of her hands, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Let me go first."
Minister Jiang uttered these words with great effort. The empress did not want her to die so easily, so she immediately released her hand that was pinching her neck.
"Your Majesty, your child died a long time ago."
Being able to breathe, Minister Jiang's complexion gradually returned to normal, with a provocative smile on her lips.
"When your child was born, my sister switched it. Later, Feng Qingqing's birthmark disappeared because it was not a real birthmark. It's a pity that there are so many things that can be traced, but Your Majesty just doesn't look at them."
"If you had checked earlier," she paused and smiled, "it would have been useless. After all, I have arranged for someone to take care of your child."
The queen curled up and tightened her muscles, wishing she could tear the person in front of her into pieces.
Minister Jiang continued, "The person who handled it said it was thrown in the snow. A newborn baby in such heavy snow would have frozen to death long ago, and its body would have been eaten by a wild animal."
When the queen heard this, she couldn't support herself and staggered back two steps. Fortunately, Ling Le supported her in time.
"You can't stand this?"
Minister Jiang was very proud to know that he had touched the empress's sore spot.
"Then let me tell you another secret, Your Majesty. I was the one who did the Queen's business."
The queen's throat was churning and she was so angry that she spat out blood.
"Your Majesty," Ling Le handed a handkerchief to the empress and ordered someone to suppress Minister Jiang first.
"Wait," the Queen wiped the blood from her lips, her eyes cold, "Is it because the Queen suspected that the Jiang family was involved in the frame-up of the uncle that you got rid of him?"
When the Queen was still alive, she mentioned this matter, but it was just a suspicion and she didn't take it to heart.
"That's right," Minister Jiang glanced in the direction of Concubine Xian and Yu Yiluo, "I wanted to kill them both because I was worried about what they knew."
"Unfortunately, grandma never mentioned anything about the Li Kingdom."
Yu Yiluo walked to a place not far from Minister Jiang and gave a sly smile.
"Let me tell you a secret too."
"What secret?"
Yu Yiluo nodded her chin. "Do you really think the Queen's child is gone? Have your people always been so careless in their work?"
Hope flashed in the Queen's eyes when she heard this.
Minister Jiang was taken aback for a moment, then said with a calm expression, "
"Could it be that the child is still alive?"
I say this, but I don’t think so in my heart.
If the child was still alive, they could just bring him to the Queen to recognize him. Why go around in circles?
"Of course he's still alive."
Yu Yiluo waved towards Qian Jue.
Qian Jue's forehead twitched, and he felt like he was being summoned like a pet.
But he still walked over obediently.
"Take off your veil and show it to Minister Jiang. That way she can die with peace of mind."
Qian Jue: “…”
She raised her hand to take off her veil, and the corners of her lips curled up.
When Minister Jiang saw this face that looked nine points like the Queen, he was so shocked that he was speechless.
