Chapter 292 Death
"How dare you! Murong Heli, you are so bold! How dare you speak so arrogantly in front of me! Why don't you kneel down in front of me!"
He turned around and said gently to Murong Xiya, "Xiya, don't be afraid. Tell me everything you saw. With me here, no one can threaten you!"
Hearing this, the guard quickly crawled over to her and kowtowed to her.
"My little princess, you must have seen it. It was the Queen who drugged me. I beg you to testify for me..."
Qi Yue leaned against the door and watched. If she had traveled back in time, she might have thought of ways to change things, but this was a dream, and something that had already happened was repeating itself, so there was no need to waste her energy.
It seems that Queen Yue’s death is also related to this little princess.
This girl now looks about the same age as Murong Heli, yet she has such a vicious mind.
Just now she saw this girl exchange several glances with Concubine Wen.
Murong Xiya bit her lip and clutched her sleeves. She looked at Queen Yue and then at Emperor Li. Finally, her gaze fell on Murong Heli. Then her body trembled, as if she was frightened by his eyes.
Emperor Li looked at Murong Heli and saw that he had a ferocious look in his eyes like a little beast, as if he would pounce on and bite Murong Xiya to death if she said something unfavorable.
"You bastard, are you planning to commit murder in front of me?"
Unexpectedly, this man was so angry that he kicked Murong Heli.
Qi Yue was horrified, and his body was more honest than his thoughts, as he rushed over to protect him.
Queen Yue screamed in panic: "Your Majesty, please don't—"
Qi Yue felt a fishy taste in his throat after being kicked. Old Deng actually kicked his own son so hard. If he really kicked Murong Heli, who was only ten years old, he would definitely be seriously injured.
Murong Heli, who originally had a ferocious look on his face, was also frightened by this kick. He couldn't understand why his father, who had always loved him so much, would be like this?
Qi Yue protected him behind her, her teeth red as she spoke with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the Second Prince did not lie. He was with me the whole time, and it was not long after school. How could he play around with the little princess in private?"
Murong Heli bit her lip, her nose felt sore, she grabbed Qi Yue's sleeve and choked, "Auntie A'ye, does it hurt?"
Queen Yue said angrily, "Your Majesty, Li'er is your own son, how could you be so cruel to him? If it weren't for A'er's loyalty to his master, Li'er would have been seriously injured by this kick!"
"If this gets out, aren't you afraid that the censors will accuse you of attempting to murder your own child?"
Concubine Wen's eyes seemed to be filled with poison as she stared at Qi Yue, feeling angry.
It's all this slave girl's fault. If it weren't for her, we could have killed two birds with one stone today.
Although Emperor Li felt a little guilty, he still gritted his teeth and pointed his finger at her and sneered, "You slut, don't bring yourself to talk about other things!"
Concubine Wen stood beside him and calmed him down, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince seems to particularly not want Princess Xiya to tell the truth. Could it be that... the Queen..."
"Wen Ruohan, stop talking nonsense! What does this have to do with my son?"
Hearing such words, Queen Yue wished she could tear her apart with her bare hands.
"You and I have never gotten along. Just tell me why you spoke for me just now. It turns out you were waiting here! Maybe you are the one who caused me this matter, and this guard is also yours!"
Concubine Wen laughed, "Sister, you are really good at wrongly accusing people. Everyone in Fengning Palace is yours. How could I harm you? How could I let the guards enter the bedroom? How could I let you take off your clothes and do something shameful?"
Qi Yue frowned and quickly covered Murong Heli's ears.
Queen Yue's eyes were red with anger: "You bitch..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
Dark energy surged on Emperor Li’s face, and veins on his forehead throbbed.
Murong Xiya lowered her head, looking submissive, but the words she said were heart-wrenching.
"I saw that it was Aunt Queen who took the initiative to pull this man into the room. Aunt Queen even hugged him and kissed him, just like my father kissed my mother..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Queen Yue yelled at her, crawling over and grabbing her arm without caring about her image. "Why are you lying? Why?"
Then she pointed at Concubine Wen and asked loudly: "Did she threaten you? Xiya, aunt loves you the most, how could you say something that would hurt aunt..."
Murong Xiya's face was full of fear, and she looked completely terrified.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Aunt Queen, I was wrong, please don't hit Xiya..."
"When did I ever hit you..."
Emperor Li strode forward and pushed her away, then protected Murong Xiya behind him.
"Bitch! You did something dirty and you dare to blame it on a child? How old is Xiya? How can she lie?"
Concubine Wen stepped forward, squatted, took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from Murong Xiya's face.
"Your Majesty is right. Children are kind-hearted and will only tell their elders what they see and hear truthfully. The Queen's expression just now frightened even an adult like me, let alone Princess Xiya!"
Qi Yue: "According to what Concubine Wen said, the Second Prince and I saw your personal maid secretly communicating with this guard this morning. Maybe it was your maid who instigated this person to frame the Queen!"
When Murong Heli heard this, he immediately turned around.
He quickly echoed, "Yes, that's right! Concubine Wen's maid gave this man a bag of silver!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Wen's face changed instantly, and the maid behind her also turned pale.
But the next second, Emperor Li shouted angrily.
"Nonsense! Concubine Wen has been with me this morning, and her personal maidservant has been serving me all the time and has never left. How could she have privately communicated with this man?"
Seeing him lying and blatantly protecting Concubine Wen, Queen Yue knew that she was doomed to die today.
It was obvious that the two of them were conspiring to kill her.
She completely broke down and pointed at the two of them with a sad smile.
He cursed, "Stupid emperor! Wicked concubine! You two shall not die a hapless death!"
"Father...I was wrong. I shouldn't have married such a heartless man and helped him ascend to the throne..."
Emperor Li shouted angrily: "Yue Qingshi, you are so presumptuous! How dare you curse me! Come! Tell me my decree, Yue has violated the imperial palace and offended the emperor. She is guilty and punishable by death. Immediately depose the queen, demote her to a commoner, and grant her white silk and poisoned wine."
Upon hearing about Bai Ling poisoning the wine, Murong Heli's face turned pale.
"Father, what did the Queen Mother do wrong? Why did you order her death? Please take back your decision..."
Seeing this, Qi Yue endured the pain in his body, immediately picked him up and ran out.
"Put me down, put me down. I want to protect my mother..."
Qi Yue felt even more pain from his struggle, and couldn't help but slap him hard on the butt.
"Little silly dog, your mother died a long time ago. This is your dream. If you don't run away, your father in your dream will kill you too!"
