The Queen Mother rushed out and saw bright red blood.
"What...what happened?"
"I'll have to ask my mother about that," the emperor said coldly. "What on earth did my mother put in this wine that I was caught off guard and injured by such a woman?"
The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor, a flicker of guilt flashing across her eyes. She quickly looked at Gu Niaoniao and asked in disbelief, "Oh my God, what have you done?"
Gu Niaoniao was now restrained by someone. She quickly shook her head and said, "I didn't do anything..."
The empress dowager also couldn't believe that Gu Niaoniao had the courage to hurt the emperor, but the scene before her was actually happening right before her eyes.
The Queen Mother felt like she was about to faint.
"Are you crazy?" The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with disappointment. "Are you still holding a grudge against the Emperor for demoting you to a tailor? Don't you see what you've done?"
The Queen Mother was completely disappointed with Gu Niaoniao. She hurried forward to check the emperor's wound, but the emperor dodged it.
"I think it's not just Gu Gengyi who's gone crazy, but also my mother. She colluded with outsiders to drug me, giving them the opportunity to hurt me. Is this the love my mother has for me?"
"I didn't. Even if I lost my mind, I would never let anyone hurt the emperor." The Queen Mother defended herself weakly.
"But it was my mother who drugged me," the emperor said coldly. "Until the matter becomes clear, the Empress Dowager should stay in Renshou Palace. If you have any important matters, you can ask the imperial guards to convey them."
This is house arrest.
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to say something, but the Emperor said directly, "I am not unaware of your mother's private affair with that man. I am not saying anything to save face for your father."
The Queen Mother was completely speechless.
After her own son exposed her evil deeds, the empress dowager felt too ashamed to see the emperor again.
Thinking about how the emperor almost lost his life because of her, the empress dowager felt even more regretful and guilty.
She glared at Gu Niaoniao hatefully.
"Okay, I'll stay here. I won't cause you any trouble. I must not let this bitch off easily!"
The Queen Mother was about to cry.
She never expected that Gu Niaoniao, who was so well-behaved in front of her, actually had evil intentions.
The emperor did not even glance at the empress dowager. He had Gu Niaoniao taken away and ordered the imperial guards to surround the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion overnight.
Overnight, the news that Marquis Wu'an instigated his daughter to assassinate the emperor spread throughout Kyoto. Gu Niaoniao was tortured and eventually sold her father out.
When he was imprisoned in the prison, Marquis Wu'an couldn't believe that he was captured by the emperor like this?
He was the Marquis of Wu'an, holding military power. Normally, even the emperor had to give him some face. How could he be convicted so easily?
Marquis Wu'an and his direct descendants were scheduled to be executed in the autumn, and the rest were exiled.
Marquis Wu'an's grand ambitions were destroyed before they even had a chance to materialize.
Marquis Wu'an didn't know where he went wrong. After thinking about it, he felt that the problem must be on Gu Niaoniao's side.
Marquis Wu'an did not want to die at all, not to mention that he had a large family. He felt that he could still be saved. He repeatedly requested to see the emperor before his death, but the emperor never agreed.
In the end, Marquis Wu'an had no choice but to place his hopes on the Queen Mother.
Marquis Wu'an wrote a letter to the empress dowager, hoping to use his previous connections to pass it to her, but it was intercepted by the emperor's men.
The emperor glanced over the contents of the letter, which was nothing more than an explanation that he had never intended to kill the king, and that everything he did was for the empress dowager, and he hoped that the empress dowager could help him mediate.
The emperor took only one glance at it and said directly, "Since it is a letter to the Queen Mother, just deliver it to her."
The Empress Dowager has been trapped in Renshou Palace since the incident and has no idea what is happening outside.
It was learned that the emperor had imprisoned the entire Wu'an Marquis Mansion because of Gu Niaoniao's mistake, and what's more, the emperor wanted to execute Wu'an Marquis.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but exclaim "ridiculous".
"Gu Gengyi is just a woman. How can you implicate a meritorious official of the dynasty because of a mere woman's mistake?"
"Wouldn't this chill the hearts of the heroes?"
Seeing Marquis Wu'an expressing his true feelings, the Queen Mother felt even more uncomfortable.
Marquis Wu'an was scheming all for his own benefit, but his own son wanted to put someone to death.
The Queen Mother felt that she had to plead for Marquis Wu'an for the sake of her own conscience.
Gu Niaoniao is a brainless person, and it is impossible for Marquis Wu'an to be as brainless as Gu Niaoniao.
Moreover, even if Marquis Wu'an really had such an idea, he would not let Gu Niaoniao do it.
Not to mention, even for her sake, Marquis Wu'an would not harm her child.
The love of youth is real after all.
So the Queen Mother asked to see the Emperor.
Pei Siliang had anticipated this, and he asked the empress dowager to come over.
The Queen Mother came to the Jinhua Palace and said to the Emperor anxiously, "Your Majesty, I heard that you have imprisoned the Marquis of Wu'an and are planning to execute him?"
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot do this. Marquis Wu'an is a man of utter loyalty and would never be the type to kill the king. There must be some misunderstanding."
"I can guarantee for Marquis Wu'an..."
The emperor only gave the queen mother a cold look and said, "Did your majesty come to me just to say these words? I thought you came here because of my injury."
The Queen Mother then looked at the Emperor's injured right arm.
"Of course I'm worried about you. I haven't been able to sleep day and night for you these past few days, but I also know that the Emperor will be fine."
