When you are in a high position, there is nothing that the people below you will not do for their own benefit. When the benefit is great enough, they are willing to sacrifice their lives.

This kind of behavior was completely incomprehensible to Wei Hanzhang, who grew up in a peaceful era.

...Is it really that it gets colder at the top? Xiao Junzhan's expression turned cold: "Has the person been arrested?"

"The two princes have been detained in the inner court," Li Yue said in embarrassment, "but the virtuous concubine holds the phoenix seal, and I, your humble servant..."

The authority of a queen cannot be insulted lightly. He, a foreign official, arrested someone without authorization. To put it in a serious way, it means that he does not care about the dignity of the royal family and intends to commit a crime.

Even if the prince had given the order verbally first, it would not work. To be honest, Concubine Xian is still the prince's stepmother.

This is not just a lowly stepmother. Except for the ceremony of enthroning the queen, there has been no difference between the virtuous concubine and the queen over the years.

If His Majesty had not been in poor health and the Crown Prince had been in charge of the country early on, I'm afraid Concubine Xian would have become the Queen by now.

Her two princes are legitimate sons...

With such an identity, how could Li Yue dare to act rashly?

Xiao Junzhan's face was full of frost as he said, "Pass on my order. All three clans of the Liuhou Mansion will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison for trial. The Yuhua Palace will be sealed. I will investigate thoroughly and find out all the remaining members."

The three ministers bowed their heads in agreement and withdrew.

All the truth was revealed. Wei Hanzhang digested it for a while, then reached out and held the arm of the man next to him, "What should I do?"

Xiao Junzhan pinched his brows and asked, "What should I do?"

He had been worried and frightened for the past few days, and his mind was exhausted. At this moment, he rarely showed a bit of tiredness. He held the little girl on his lap and rested his head on her neck. "Good Ranran, let me hold you for a while."

Wei Hanzhang felt a little distressed, so she didn't move and let him hold her obediently.

After a long while, he sighed softly, "If something happens to Changle, my father's body may not be able to bear it."

This is the first child, truly the apple of my eye.

Ordering death was simple. Xiao Junzhan could execute his two younger brothers without caring about everyone's opinion, but he couldn't ignore his father's health.

Wei Hanzhang also thought of the old and frail emperor, and nodded softly, saying, "Your Majesty must not know."

The couple unanimously decided that even if they did not deal with Concubine Xian and others first, they must not let the emperor suffer a blow.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall.

Ning Hai walked in quickly and said anxiously, "Your Highness, the palace maids from Fengyuhua Palace came to report that the virtuous concubine is not in the palace. She...she went to the emperor and said she wanted to plead for mercy!"

The more Xiao Junzhan listened, the colder his expression became. In the end, he sneered, "She really didn't know how to cherish her life. She is now courting death."

He stood up holding the girl's waist on his lap and took her with him as they strode out of the hall.

When the two hurried to the emperor's bedroom, everything seemed to have settled down.

The virtuous concubine was dressed in an elegant lavender palace dress, with a gilded hairpin on her head and a pair of ruby ​​earrings hanging from her ears. Her well-maintained white and smooth skin did not look like a woman who had given birth to two children that big.

This was the first time Wei Hanzhang saw Concubine Xian, and also the last time...

Because the other party was vomiting dirty blood, it seemed that he was already dead.

The role model of the harem, the virtuous concubine who was equal to the empress dowager, actually died like this?

The emperor had only three sons in total, and she gave birth to two of them. It can be imagined how favored she was in the harem at that time.

Such a woman who had enjoyed such a glorious life actually died like this?

The word count of the previous chapter has been completed, you can go and take a look, my dears.
