But the emperor trusts this person, so she can only avoid his edge.
The Queen looked at Qingyin and sneered, "Is it a big deal that the Ninth Princess is plotting to murder the Eighth Princess?"
Luo Jingxuan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "This afternoon, the Eighth Princess left the Ninth Princess's palace and was fine. How did this allegation of murder come about?"
The Sixth Princess clenched her fists in anger.
When she heard that Luo Jingxuan and Qingyin were having a secret meeting in the rockery, she didn't believe it at all.
However, she suddenly thought of the Eighth Princess's feelings for Luo Jingxuan, so she deliberately mentioned it.
Now it seems that the secret meeting in the rockery must be true.
I didn't expect that Qingyin was so good at it that she could seduce Grand Tutor Luo.
But what can we do?
If the Eighth Princess hadn't died, the Queen might have treated her with care, but she died.
Thinking of this, she slightly loosened her nails that were digging into her flesh.
The prince felt a pain in his heart, but he ignored the situation and went straight to the inner room.
Seeing the little girl who used to chase after him and call him "Prince Brother" closed her eyes forever, at this moment, his heart felt extremely desolate.
"Eighth sister..."
The prince staggered forward two steps.
He stood in front of the bed and then sat down as if exhausted.
"Your Highness, please accept my condolences!"
Doctor Zheng knelt on the ground and turned his eyes away slightly.
He also didn't expect that the Eighth Princess, who had clearly woken up in the evening, would pass away in just a few hours.
He and several imperial doctors checked, but could find nothing.
It was as if this person had passed away in his sleep without knowing it.
The Queen glanced at Luo Jingxuan coldly and said, "I hope Grand Tutor Luo will not interfere in the affairs of the harem. We will know whether she has plotted to murder the Eighth Princess after she is taken out for a thorough interrogation."
The hall fell silent for a moment.
At this moment, a shrill voice came from outside, shouting: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone was shocked.
Especially the two little eunuchs who were holding Qingyin, they immediately knelt down at the palace gate.
The queen also looked outside, her face full of grief.
The lantern outside the door was gently blown by the wind, and soon a figure in bright yellow casual clothes embroidered with golden dragon patterns walked out. Qingyin stood at the door and bowed first, "May your Majesty be well, Father."
The emperor walked straight to the queen without stopping, raised his hand, took the queen's cold hand in his, and sighed: "Queen."
There was no word of comfort, but the queen felt very aggrieved.
She and the emperor were a young couple and had a sweet and happy time together.
Later, as there were more and more women in the harem, the distance between her and the emperor grew greater and greater.
Now that I think about it, they haven't had such close contact for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Yan'er is... gone." She was halfway through her words when she burst into tears.
The emperor closed his eyes slightly, and there was an indelible sadness in his eyes.
The Queen took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for Yan'er! Yan'er was carried back from the Ninth Princess's Palace today, but she passed away within a few hours. Although the Ninth Princess claimed that Yan'er fell on the vase, she was the only one awake in the palace at the time, so naturally, her words were true. I was worried about Yan'er at the time, so I let her get away with it. Now that I think about it, how could Yan'er have bumped into the vase for no reason? I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for Yan'er!"
As he said this, he knelt down in front of the emperor.
When the emperor looked at the queen kneeling on the ground, he suddenly realized that the queen had also grown old.
There are even white hairs starting to appear on my temples.
He slowly helped the queen up, but angrily said to Qingyin: "You are usually spoiled, but you actually did this to your own sister. I am so disappointed in you."
Qingyin was dissatisfied and was about to open her mouth to refute.
The Queen spoke faster than her, "The affairs of the harem were originally managed by me, and now that something like this has happened, it is my fault.
Your Majesty, how about handing the Ninth Princess over to me for trial? If she is innocent, I will not make things difficult for her. If she is indeed Yan'er's murderer, I would like to personally seek justice for Yan'er. What do you think?
"Not good!" Qingyin replied.
The emperor was interrupted for a moment, and he looked at Qingyin with even more impatience, "I thought your temper would be better when you grow up. I really thought too highly of you."
Qingyin snorted in her heart.
Wasn't it that before her mother passed away, when she went to ask him to take a look at her mother, she happened to see him flirting with other concubines in the imperial garden.
She spoke without thinking and called him an ungrateful person.
She was still young at that time and actually didn't understand what ungrateful meant.
However, one day, he heard the palace maid scolding a young eunuch.
When the scolded eunuch heard these three words, she hurriedly said that she was wrong.
At that time, she thought that after scolding her father, perhaps he would realize that he was wrong and follow her to see her mother.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not go to see his mother, he also called away the imperial physician who was treating his mother.
My mother left that night.
For a long time, she blamed herself for harming her mother.
Now that I think about it, it wasn't wrong to call him an ungrateful person.
Back then, they only remembered that their mother was molested by a bully and their father rescued her.
But who knew that the bully was just putting on an act.
A hero-saving-beauty drama directed and acted by himself.
Perhaps the sarcasm on Qingyin's lips was too glaring, and some forgotten memories surfaced in his mind. The emperor suppressed those memories and frowned, saying: "It seems that I usually dote on you too much. In this case, then..."
Before he could finish his words, Luo Jingxuan said, "Since the Empress has accused the Ninth Princess of murdering the Eighth Princess, why not take the Ninth Princess to the Dali Temple and let them investigate the case?"
The Queen said impatiently, "Since this is a matter between the harem, I will judge it myself."
The emperor was also a little hesitant.
Although he did not like this daughter, the Dali Temple had already imprisoned a son and was now sending a daughter.
He should refuse for both emotional and face reasons.
Qingyin also suddenly spoke up at this time: "Your son also requests to go to the Dali Temple. Your son has done the right thing and is not afraid of being investigated."
The Sixth Princess panicked for a moment. Since it was Luo Jingxuan who proposed the Dali Temple, Qingyin must not go there.
So, she said, "Father, I also feel that sending my ninth sister to the Dali Temple is against the rules. Harem matters are decided by our mother, and since this involves matters of the harem, I think it is safest for her to handle it."
Qingyin sneered, "Sixth sister, you've got a good plan. Aren't you afraid that Mother will find out that it was you who instigated Eighth sister to come to me? Besides, you said, Eighth sister's hysteria was clearly gone, so why did it flare up when she came to see me?"
