Chapter 399 Husband, the Empress Dowager was just about to poison me! *sobs*
Xiao Tang's lips twitched as well.
Should we say this young emperor is oblivious, or should we say Di Yanhen is too stupid?
For a moment, I didn't know who to call stupid.
Ultimately, it's because this child is too naive.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager's tears also fell in a stream. It was unclear what had moved her son so much, but she cried so sadly and painfully.
She looked at her son and sobbed softly, "Qing'er, stop making a fuss. This person doesn't treat you like a brother at all."
Di Yanhen became increasingly annoyed by what he heard.
He pushed the dagger in his hand a few more inches towards the Empress Dowager's neck.
If we go any further, the Empress Dowager will die!
The palace gates were kicked open at this time.
Before Di Yanhen could deliver the killing blow, with a "whoosh," a sharp arrow pierced the sky, hurtling towards Di Yanhen's chest at incredible speed.
His eyes widened as the longsword plunged straight into his heart!
Blood splattered all over the Empress Dowager's face.
The young emperor was also taken aback.
Xiao Tang, however, remained calm and acted as if nothing had happened.
The steady footsteps echoed continuously in the hall, like hammering on everyone's hearts, or like demons coming to claim lives.
Di Yanqing was the first to see the newcomer.
The dark-colored hem of her robe fluttered in the breeze.
The man's long legs drew closer, his imposing presence commanding attention.
That innate kingly aura instantly makes people want to submit.
In particular, Emperor Yanqing, who was the young emperor, also knelt down at this moment.
He...did kneel.
His knees buckled.
"Waaaaah, Ninth Imperial Uncle, you've finally come!" She cried, tears streaming down her face.
With Di Jingling's arrival, the atmosphere in the main hall became particularly strange.
She was clearly saved, but the Empress Dowager felt a deep difficulty breathing.
This is like a warning before death arrives...
Although Di Yanhen, who had fallen to the ground after being shot by an arrow, had already died, his eyes remained open in death!
The Empress Dowager was still shaken by the experience.
"Regent...you're not dead? That's wonderful, hehe." The Empress Dowager let out a forced and awkward laugh.
She didn't even know what she was saying.
It's just that the speaker didn't mean anything by it, but the listener took it to heart.
Di Jingling gave her a cold glare, pointed at Di Yanhen on the ground, and ordered, "Drag him out and burn his body."
"Wait, after cremation, scatter the ashes into the river to feed the fish," Xiao Tang added.
These words made the Empress Dowager and the eunuch tremble with fear.
This couple...
That's ruthless.
They wouldn't even let anyone keep their remains; that's too cruel.
The Empress Dowager's lips twitched slightly, pale, but she ultimately dared not say anything.
She can now sense how serious this is.
The Regent... is someone you absolutely must not mess with.
Yan Jiu entered the hall, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Emperor Jingling, and said, "Your subordinate will take care of it immediately."
He ordered the guards to come and drag the body out and burn it.
Moreover, they set up a fire right in the Empress Dowager's courtyard and threw the corpse into it, which was quite astonishing.
The Empress Dowager watched helplessly as the guards set fire to her courtyard, daring not to speak out in anger.
Xiao Tang took in the Empress Dowager's expression and curled her lip.
She did this entirely as a precaution.
The person who dug up Xiao Rourou's ashes has not yet appeared. Who knows, they might use Di Yanhen's corpse again, or forcibly turn the two of them into vengeful spirits to cause trouble.
After much deliberation, she decided to completely destroy the remains and dispose of the body as quickly as possible, as a way of giving an explanation.
The Empress Dowager swallowed hard. "Regent... I was also startled. Please step back, I..."
"The Empress Dowager has committed many crimes," Di Jingling interrupted her. "She colluded with traitors and nearly cost the Emperor his life."
The Empress Dowager's knees buckled, and she almost lost her balance.
"No...I just..."
"You just want to get rid of me?"
One sentence made the Empress Dowager's face even more unpleasant.
Although the young emperor has always known these things, unfortunately he doesn't know whose side to stand on now.
Subconsciously, he felt that Ninth Prince was right.
After all, the Ninth Prince is the true ruler of the Great Sheng Kingdom!
These days without Ninth Prince, the news of his death has thrown the entire Great Sheng Dynasty into a state of panic.
After comparing the two options, he immediately followed the Empress Dowager and said, "Mother, you should apologize to Ninth Prince. Once you apologize, he won't be angry or blame you."
"Qing'er!" The Empress Dowager stared wide-eyed, unable to believe whose side this child was on.
She really wanted to strangle the child.
Anyway, he's her own son!
Xiao Tang raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly remembered something and immediately looked at Xiao Tang, "Princess Regent, you should also tell the Regent that I really had no intention of harming him!"
Knowing that her words were useless, she brought up Xiao Tang's words instead.
[Tsk, they knew they'd drag me into this.]
[Sigh, this is really strange. It's fine if you two are tearing each other apart, but why am I being dragged into this?]
A glint of light flashed in Xiao Tang's eyes, and then she shrank into Di Jingling's arms.
She said softly, "My lord, it's terrible! The Empress Dowager didn't say she wanted to harm you, but she... just now almost tried to poison me."
"You, you, you..." The Empress Dowager was speechless.
But what can we do?
That cup of poisoned wine was indeed a gift from her.
Oh no, oh no.
The Empress Dowager inwardly cried out in alarm, her heart filled with panic.
The young emperor was also bewildered and joined in the condemnation of his mother, "Mother, how could you do something to harm Ninth Imperial Aunt? Ninth Imperial Aunt has always been so good to me!"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager secretly glared at her youngest son, accusing him of being a traitor.
