"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," Queen Wang bowed. "It's so late, is there something the Majesty wants me to do?"
[Nonsense, of course there's something wrong. You poisoned my mother, and you want to blame it on a nanny?]
Xiao Hanyi glanced at Guo Xiner, and Guo Xiner hurried forward to pay her respects to the Queen. How could she have forgotten? She had been with the Emperor these two days and hadn't paid her respects to the Queen first.
"Sister, don't be so polite. Your biggest task now is to give the emperor a little prince," said Queen Wang with a smile.
Today, Guo Xiner took advantage of the situation and neglected her, the queen, in front of the emperor. She felt very unhappy.
Xiao Hanyi asked solemnly, "Madame Liu asked the Ministry of Punishment to bring him in for questioning. She said that she asked Madame Sun to poison him."
He handed her Liu Ma's confession.
Queen Wang took it and took a careful look at it, and indeed, Nanny Liu took it up herself.
She pretended to be shocked, "How dare this Liu Ma Ma murder the heir to the throne? I didn't even know she was so bold, Your Majesty..."
Queen Wang knelt down, her face full of anger, and said, "I have failed to supervise you, I am guilty."
[Oversight? Oh my god, the crime of oversight is much less serious than murdering the heir to the throne, right? You really can act.]
"Madame Liu is just a servant, she has no grudge against my mother, why would you harm her?"
Yes, Xiao Hanyi also thought so. He looked at Queen Wang and asked her to explain herself.
Seeing Xiao Hanyi like this, Queen Wang looked aggrieved, tears welling in her eyes, "Your Majesty, look at me like this. Do you not trust me?"
"How could a slave commit such a capital crime for no reason?" Xiao Hanyi asked back.
How can he believe it?
Queen Wang was extremely grateful, as she had thought of her words in advance.
Feeling aggrieved, she pretended to think, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Could it be? Is it?" Having said this, she did not continue, but became heartbroken.
After a long time, Queen Wang raised her head, wiped the tears from her face, and said what she had discussed with the eldest prince. Her words were sincere, and she played the role of a wife who was worried about the emperor.
"That day, I asked Xu Zhiwei, the official historian of the Imperial Observatory, to come and ask her to choose an auspicious day to make a ancestral butterfly for Sister Guo so that she could be included in the family tree. However, Xu Zhiwei told me that the child in Concubine Guo's belly was in conflict with the emperor and would destroy the emperor's imperial aura in the future. I knew that the emperor valued my sister, and I didn't know how to tell him, but I was also worried about the emperor..."
"I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these past two days. I don't know what to do. I didn't expect Madam Liu to act on her own and do something like this."
How shameless! How could you come up with such an excuse? How shameless! My Tyrant Daddy and I are still together.
[Wang Xueyi, I'm not done with you yet. Wait for me to get out.]
Xiao Jiayun was so angry that he started cursing.
Xiao Hanyi had a cold face. Although this excuse was not good, it seemed acceptable. He pondered.
"Come here, pass on the official history of the Imperial Observatory."
After a stick of incense, the guard came hurriedly to report, "Your Majesty, the official historian of the Imperial Observatory, Xu Zhiwei, died in Yihong Courtyard."
Huh? Xiao Hanyi looked at Queen Wang, his eyes full of meaning. Could it be such a coincidence? The Queen had just spoken, and he was silenced? Dead and without evidence?
Queen Wang frowned, "????"
How could he be dead? How could this happen? It looks like she murdered someone to silence them! How could her previous statement be credible?
[Hmph, there's no evidence against me after I die. Queen Wang, you're really capable.]
[The story is very clear. Queen Wang knew that Nanny Liu was arrested, so she first silenced her, and then came up with this excuse. However, Xu Zhiwei refused to cooperate, so she simply silenced him as well.]
Xiao Hanyi thought, it was possible that if Xu Zhiwei didn't cooperate, her story would be exposed.
"Empress, Xu Zhiwei's death was suspicious. Nanny Liu was yours. To be fair, I have no choice but to take back your phoenix seal and put you under house arrest for the time being," Xiao Hanyi said.
Queen Wang collapsed on the spot. Was Xu Zhiwei dead? Her brain was unable to react for a moment.
"Father," a voice came from outside.
Xiao Conghui strode in and said, "Your son pays his respects to the emperor."
When Queen Wang saw the eldest prince coming, she immediately felt reassured.
"Your son came to pay his respects to the emperor. I heard some commotion inside and didn't dare to barge in. But I heard something about the official history of the Imperial Observatory. Your son has something to say."
Xiao Hanyi, "Speak."
"The child in Concubine Guo's belly is in conflict with our father, and there are strange signs from the sky. It would be better to let Deputy Historian Ji come. If what Lord Ji said is the same as what Lord Xu said," Xiao Conghui said with a bow.
Then the problem is solved!
Xiao Hanyi nodded and said, "Call the deputy historian of the Imperial Observatory, Ji Ming."
He asked Queen Wang to stand up, sit down, and serve tea.
Queen Wang and the eldest prince's eyes met. Could it be okay? The theory of celestial phenomena was a fabrication. She was worried. Could it be that the child in Concubine Guo's belly really conflicted with Xiao Hanyi's fate?
If this is confirmed, even if Concubine Guo has a hundred lives, it will not be enough.
After a while, Ji Ming arrived, and Xiao Hanyi said bluntly, "Please help me take a look at the child in Concubine Guo's belly."
Ji Ming lowered his head and thought for a while, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This child's fate is in conflict with yours, and it will affect your majesty. I see a small star next to Ziwei Star that is heading straight towards Ziwei Star, and Ziwei Star looks like it is falling."
boom!
this?
Xiao Hanyi felt a wave of tension in his heart. Ziwei Star symbolizes the throne. Is there a sign of its fall?
Queen Wang breathed a sigh of relief. This way, not only could she clear herself of suspicion, but she could also deal a heavy blow to Guo Xiner. This time, she would probably not survive.
"Your Majesty, nothing is more important than your dragon body," Queen Wang seemed very nervous about Xiao Hanyi.
Guo Xiner didn't expect that the fire would actually burn her body. She looked at Xiao Hanyi in horror. What should she do?
She knelt down, "Your Majesty?" But what could she say? It seemed like she was forced into a dead end.
