Chapter 66 What happened back then?
[This Doctor Zhang is the doctor who worked for the Queen and killed Wen Niang! ]
[There is a big black mole between his eyebrows, and his last name is Zhang! ]
[I didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, this doctor was actually found by my eldest brother! ]
Shangguan Jue's brows twitched slightly when he heard this.
No wonder Doctor Zhang said he came to atone for his sins...
So that's what happened.
Back then, he obeyed the queen and killed his mother.
Now he and Ci'er have been saved...
Shangguan Lin was very happy.
In this way, we have found a witness.
You can testify against the Queen now!
Shangguan Lin immediately ordered: "Go and do as the eldest prince said and bring Doctor Zhang to the palace!"
Afternoon, Fengyi Palace.
Eunuch Chen walked into the hall and bowed slightly.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has summoned you to his study."
The queen frowned.
The emperor and she have never been close, they just treat each other with respect on the surface.
He never took the initiative to call her to his study.
What happened today?
The queen had a feeling that something was wrong.
But he still nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go right away."
She stood up from the phoenix chair and turned around to find that Xinlan had not returned yet.
The queen couldn't help but feel a little angry.
This damn Xinlan, I will definitely punish her severely when she comes back!
The empress got on the sedan chair and soon arrived at Yu's study.
She had just stepped into Yu's study and was about to bow.
Suddenly, a deep and majestic voice sounded in my ears.
"Queen, do you still know who he is?"
The queen turned around and saw a white-haired old man standing not far away.
She blinked slightly and felt that he looked familiar.
And when her eyes fell on the big black mole between the old man's eyebrows, countless memories instantly flooded into her mind.
The queen's forehead began to sweat and her heart was pounding.
He, shouldn't he be dead...
Doctor Zhang sneered at the empress, "Your Majesty, do you still remember me?"
Shangguan Sui nestled in Shangguan Lin's arms and hummed softly.
[How could the Queen not remember? That was her first time to harm someone, so it must have left a deep impression on her.]
The queen twitched the corners of her mouth and couldn't help but clench her sleeves with her fingers.
But his back was still straight, "I don't know you, don't make any nonsense about me!"
"Otherwise, I will punish you!"
Shangguan Sui pursed his lips in disdain.
[Hey, you're still punishing others? You're not sure if you can protect yourself today! ]
[What a shellless turtle, holding on! 】
Shangguan Lin tried hard to hold back his laughter and glanced at the two of them with a serious expression.
"Doctor Zhang, tell me the truth, what happened back then?"
Doctor Zhang bowed and slowly explained.
"That was 20 years ago. At that time, the Queen Mother was still the Princess. She came to me and asked me to secretly do something when Wen Niang gave birth."
"At that time, I was blinded by money and agreed on impulse..."
"After the mission was accomplished, the queen gave me the money as promised, but secretly sent people to hunt me down. I fled to the edge of a cliff and jumped down, but I didn't die."
"I know that I have committed a grave sin by taking someone's life, so from now on I will practice medicine in the village without compensation."
After hearing this, the queen's breathing quickened unconsciously.
He stammered, "I...I have no idea what you are talking about."
Shangguan Sui snorted lightly.
【Pretend, and continue to pretend. 】
Doctor Zhang took out a jade token from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Chen next to him.
"This is the jade token that the Empress gave me. She said that with this, I can leave the palace and the capital without any hindrance."
"I did go out at that time, but I didn't expect to find someone ambushing me as soon as I left the capital. This was all planned by the queen!"
Shangguan Lin took the jade token handed to him by Eunuch Chen.
After careful observation, he said in a cold voice: "This is indeed the Queen's jade token, it is not fake."
Shangguan Lin looked at the empress with a cold gaze.
"Queen, do you have anything else to say?"
Shangguan Jue looked even more distressed.
The queen really cared about him since he was a child...
Unexpectedly, she was the one who killed his biological mother...
The queen opened her mouth and wanted to continue making excuses.
This was just a small mistake back then.
Their Wang family guards the southern border, and she doesn't believe that the emperor would really do anything to her because of such a trivial matter twenty years ago.
However, at this moment, a clear female voice was heard outside the door.
"Your servant Xinlan, begging to see the Emperor!"
The queen turned around, looking confused.
Xinlan? What is she doing here?
Shangguan Sui was so excited that he almost clapped his hands for joy.
【Oh! Xinlan is here! It’s going to be a good show! 】
Shangguan Lin immediately ordered, "Let her in."
Xinlan walked into the palace without looking around, not even once at the empress.
In her hands she held a wooden box.
When the queen saw the familiar box, her eyes widened.
What followed was unprecedented panic and disbelief.
Xinlan walked into the hall and bowed.
"This servant pays respects to His Majesty."
Shangguan Lin waved his hand, "Stand up, what is it that you want to see me for?"
Xinlan took a deep breath and said loudly.
"I want to report the Empress for poisoning the Queen Mother. This crime is unforgivable!"
She held up the box in her hand.
"This is the evidence. It contains the lacquer grass that the Queen used to murder the Queen Mother. It was hidden in the secret room by the Queen."
Eunuch Chen immediately stepped forward, took the wooden box, and handed it to Shangguan Lin.
The queen looked at her in disbelief, her back felt cold and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Xinlan...Xinlan actually betrayed her!
She actually told all about her plot to murder the Queen Mother!
If she kills Wen Niang, she still has a chance of survival.
But if she dared to murder the Queen Mother, she would be sentenced to death...
Shangguan Sui waved his little fist.
【Xinlan is awesome! She finally told the truth! 】
[That's great! I wonder what the Queen will say this time!]
Shangguan Jue on the side was shocked.
What? The Queen actually poisoned the Queen Mother!
This was the first time he knew about this today!
He turned to look at the queen, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
It suddenly occurred to him that he had only just today met her for the first time.
Shangguan Lin glanced at the wooden box in front of him.
Then his eyes fell coldly on the Queen.
"What else do you have to say?!"
"You killed Wen Niang and poisoned the Queen Mother! You are really cruel!"
Upon hearing this, the Queen raised her graceful and dignified face.
The corners of her mouth pulled out a sinister smile, making her face look extremely distorted.
"If I'm not ruthless, how can I secure my position as queen?"
"Killing people is nothing. I will kill anyone who threatens my power!"
Shangguan Lin's face was gloomy.
"The queen has gone mad. Drag her away and let her commit suicide!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the queen went crazy.
"Do you think that if you kill me, Wen Niang will be able to survive? Will the Queen Mother be able to recover?"
"I tell you, the Queen Mother will not survive! She will definitely die!"
"Even if I die, I'll have a back cushion!"
Shangguan Lin almost roared.
"Hurry up and drag this crazy woman away! Drag her away now!"
