"The Emperor just executed the deposed Empress like this?"
"You may not know this, but the deposed queen is now unwilling to drink the poisoned wine. She keeps shouting that she wants to see the emperor, as if she has something to report to the emperor."
"Could it be related to the eldest prince?"
"Who knows? But if I depose the queen, I will definitely be heartbroken for the eldest prince. He is about to die, but his son has never said a word for him. This death is too miserable."
…
The two palace maids were just whispering as they passed by, which immediately made Feng Huailue alert.
Queen Qi and I have done too many things in the past. If she really resented me for not taking action, she would inevitably say something that she shouldn't say.
Why wouldn't she just die in peace?
Feng Huailue immediately left and walked towards the cold palace.
At this time, Feng Zhuohua went to the Yangxin Palace specifically to ask to see Feng Xuanming.
Looking at Feng Zhuohua, Feng Xuanming asked, "Why didn't you accompany the imperial concubine?"
"The Concubine was a little nervous, as if she had a nightmare about the deposed queen. After waking up, she specially asked me to come here, hoping that the emperor would temporarily spare the deposed queen's life."
Feng Xuanming was a little suspicious: "Did the imperial concubine really say that?"
Feng Zhuohua nodded: "Concubine Xi dreamed that the ghost of the deposed queen wanted her life. After waking up, she heard that the deposed queen refused to drink the poisoned wine, so she thought of saving her life first."
Feng Xuanming frowned: "The deposed queen refuses to drink the poisoned wine?"
"I heard from the people in the cold palace that the deposed queen was talking about something. The Sun family helped you a lot in the past. You will not do anything to her unless you personally bring the wine over."
Feng Xuanming slammed the table in anger: "She is really amazing. I will personally see what else she wants to do."
Feng Zhuohua accompanied Feng Xuanming all the way to the cold palace, but at the gate of the cold palace, they found that all the palace servants were waiting outside.
Seeing Feng Xuanming and Feng Zhuohua coming, all the palace people knelt down to pay their respects.
"Why are you all outside?" Feng Xuanming asked, "What happened to the deposed queen?"
The leading palace servant said, "Your Majesty, it's the eldest prince who's inside."
Although Feng Huailue's private actions made Feng Xuanming somewhat dissatisfied, compared with his previous indifference to the deposed queen, Feng Xuanming still felt that he had taken some responsibility: "No need to inform, I will go in and take a look."
As they spoke, Feng Xuanming and Feng Zhuohua walked in together, followed by a group of palace servants.
When the palace door opened, the first thing everyone saw was Feng Huailue's panic-stricken expression. At his feet was an empty wine glass, and in front of him lay the dead body of Sun Yuqin.
The scene before his eyes seemed to be as clear as it could be. Feng Xuanming looked at Feng Huailue in disbelief. Even he was shocked by Feng Huailue's ruthlessness: "Feng Huailue, you even dare to attack your own relatives?"
At this moment, Feng Xuanming even imagined the scene in the future struggle for succession, in which Feng Huailue took advantage of the Black Mountain Underground Palace to force the emperor to abdicate and usurp the throne. He could kill his sister and relatives, so killing his father did not seem impossible.
Feng Huai glanced at the people who suddenly appeared and explained quickly: "Father, I just came in and saw that the queen was dead. It was not my fault..."
"Feng Huailue!" Feng Xuanming shouted angrily, "Even if deposing the queen is a capital crime, you cannot murder her. Your actions are simply... treason!"
The words "treason" weigh heavily on Feng Huailue's body and will become a stain that he will never be able to erase in his life.
Feng Huailue looked at the person standing at the door. When he looked at him, he saw a look full of suspicion, anger, shock, and even contempt. He was speechless. His heart ached, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood before fainting on the ground...
