The queen glanced at Jiang Xuejun with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"Let's go and see what's going on."
The queen walked out of the bedroom and went to the main hall.
Jiang Xuejun and Chen Qinghan followed closely.
After half a day, no matter how stupid Chen Qinghan was, he understood that it was not the Queen who attacked Xu Wanruo that day, but Xie Xianyu.
But the fight for the throne is a matter between men. Why should an innocent woman bear such consequences?
As soon as the queen sat down on the phoenix chair in the main hall, Xie Xianyu strode in.
His face was calm, but there was already a surge of anger in his eyes: "Where is my wife?"
"How dare you! You didn't even show courtesy to me when you saw me. The Xie family has a great reputation, yet you raised such an unruly son?"
Xie Xianyu stared at the queen, his eyes gradually becoming sinister. "If the queen doesn't hand her over, it will be King Xuan who will die by this time."
The queen's expression suddenly changed. His cold eyes pierced her heart, and she slammed the table in anger: "How insolent!"
Xie Xianyu stood in the hall, his fierce aura emanating from him. Even without saying a word, he was already oppressive to everyone.
Jiang Xuejun's face turned pale and he tightened his hands in his sleeves.
The Queen gritted her teeth and said, "Xu is arrogant and threw away the gift given by Your Majesty. I just kept her to train her personally."
The word "training" pierced his heart, and his eyes grew even colder: "Where is she?"
The Queen noticed his concern and calmed down a bit, laughing: "Little Lady Xie is indeed deeply in love with you. She came to the palace in the middle of the night just to take her home. However, she made a serious mistake. How can I forgive her so easily?"
"You want conditions?"
Xie Xianyu was no longer impatient to beat around the bush with her.
The queen didn't expect him to be so straightforward, but she was secretly happy.
"This time, you accompanied General Cai to the north to suppress the rebellion. I heard that you annihilated the rebels and established a great cause. However, I heard that you executed General Cai first and then reported him to prison for the crime of colluding with the rebels."
Xie Xianyu's eyes were filled with impatience: "You want me to let Cai Zhong go?"
"With Cai Zhong down, the tiger talisman with the power of 100,000 soldiers must have fallen into your hands."
Greed flashed in the queen's eyes. "I want you to hand over the tiger talisman, write a memorial attributing the credit for suppressing the rebellion to King Xuan, and support King Xuan as the crown prince."
With the help of Lao who suppressed the rebellion, he took control of the military power of Jimo Camp and gained the support of Xie Xianyu.
King Xuan's position as the crown prince is not only within his reach, but he can also obtain real power. From then on, he will sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince, and no one can easily shake him!
Chen Qinghan and Jiang Xuejun's expressions changed. The Queen actually wanted to use a woman to make Xie Xianyu give up everything?
If King Xuan truly ascended the throne, and he surrendered all real power, wouldn't he be a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others? Xie Xianyu's fate would be worse than death!
How could he agree to this!
Xie Xianyu's eyes gradually darkened, his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists, veins bulging on his lips.
The Queen thought he would need to think about it for a while, but after two breaths, he said with a cold look in his eyes: "I want to see her first."
"He said."
The Queen glanced at Shaoyao and said, "Go, bring her in."
After a while, two old maids dragged Xu Wanruo, who was covered in blood, in and placed her on the golden bricks in the hall. Bloodstains were left wherever they passed.
She closed her eyes tightly, her pale face was bloodless, her cheeks were red and swollen, the blood at the corners of her lips had already stagnated, and her back was covered with crisscross marks from the stick.
He was so angry that he couldn't bear to touch her, but now he was beaten like this by them!
His heart seemed to be unable to breathe for a moment, the veins on his forehead bulged, and the hostility in his body surged. His eyes, which had been calm just a moment ago, suddenly became extremely sinister, almost murderous.
The chief eunuch Liu Xiaoxiao held a dagger and pressed it against Wanruo's slender neck.
The Queen took one look at the dagger pressed tightly against Wanruo's neck, then managed to calm herself down a little and asked him, "You have seen the person, have you considered my conditions?"
