The king kept Lan Shuang and originally wanted to let Los leave, but after thinking about it, he finally said nothing.
He then turned to the old ministers and asked, "You mentioned one more thing before. What is it?"
He was already exhausted after listening to their report on Du Xilun. They said there was one more thing, but he didn't have time to listen before his eyes rolled. He remembered it at this time.
"this……"
When talking about this matter, several ministers hesitated.
The king frowned, keenly aware of something amiss, and said in a colder voice, "Why? Can't you tell me?"
"no……"
The senior official in the lead glanced at Lan Shuang and said slowly, "Actually, this matter is also related to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."
"Me?" Lan Shuang pointed at herself.
"right."
The king also looked at Lan Shuang, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became a little more serious: "Speak!"
"Yes," the old minister replied, "it's about the late queen. Back then, the late queen was ignored by His Majesty because of her magic, and was later convicted for it. There's actually something fishy going on. While investigating the Dusilen family's corruption and murder case, I discovered that the person who accused the queen of abusing black magic and having ill intentions against His Majesty was actually a member of a branch of the Dusilen family."
"He was expelled from his family in his early years because of gambling. He later lived in poverty and became a beggar. But then he was suddenly taken back to the master's house for a period of time. Later, he became a test subject for the dark magic practiced by the late queen."
The minister pondered and said, "So the late queen might have been wrongly accused, and the person behind it was Du Xilun, or perhaps..."
He stopped there cleverly and did not say the queen's name, but everyone present understood what he meant.
The king's expression suddenly changed. "What did you say?"
Lan Shuang wasn't surprised by this at all. She said coldly, "Although my mother was born a commoner and studied magic for several years with several itinerant magicians, she never harbored any intention of harming anyone. Your Majesty, who was always by her side, surely understood this best. It's just that the affection faded, and trust naturally became fragile."
After these words were spoken, the ministers did not dare to respond and they all looked at the king on the bed. The king's expression was also very interesting. It was rare that he did not scold Lan Shuang because he felt very guilty.
In fact, it's not that he didn't notice something strange at the beginning, but he was in love with the current queen Celia, and the former queen was too stubborn and could not accept the fact that the king fell in love with someone else. In the end, the two parted ways unhappily. So when this really happened, the king just wanted to teach the former queen a lesson, let her calm down and think clearly, and wait for her to give in on her own initiative. Who knew that this wait would mean they would be separated forever?
It was too late to regret now, so Lan Shuang didn't intend to dwell on the matter. After a moment's silence, she said, "Now that the truth has been revealed and my mother was wrongly accused, Your Majesty, can you clear her name? This will be the end of your relationship."
The king pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time before nodding: "I understand. I will take good care of this matter. You can go back first."
"yes."
All the goals for tonight were achieved, and Lan Shuang didn't plan to stay any longer, so she took Los away.
The ministers gathered around the king, and the king gave them a few more instructions until he felt really exhausted and let them go.
…
The queen was confined to the palace but was not at peace, and she sent someone to deliver a message to Du Xilun at night.
Lan Shuang could see everything clearly from the dark. Luo Si stood behind her, half of his face was immersed in the night, but his eyes were bright. "Why didn't you stop it?"
"Why do you want to stop it?" Lan Shuang asked back.
Ross: "Huh? Aren't you afraid they'll join forces and do something?"
Lan Shuang chuckled, holding Luo Si's hand and walking back, "This is what I've been waiting for. The bigger the commotion they make, the better. Then I can catch them all in one fell swoop."
Los looked at her dotingly from behind her. He was really treacherous, but who made him like her? He had to play along.
As long as she is happy.
"Let's go back to sleep. We'll just wait and see."
Lan Shuang's voice gradually disappeared in the wind.
…
The king was ill for many days and had not gotten up, but he was not idle either. He summoned his ministers to his bedroom every day to discuss matters.
The evidence of the Dusilen family's guilt was irrefutable and had violated the king's authority. The king could not show mercy this time and had to cut the Gordian knot. Once all the evidence was collected, he arrested all the people and punished them according to the severity of their crimes.
The culprit Du Xilun should have been sentenced to public hanging, but when the guards went to arrest him, he ran away first.
The king was furious and ordered a nationwide investigation to ensure that the culprit was found.
At the same time, he went to the harem to question the queen, but the queen was stubborn and the king had no evidence, so he had to let the matter go. He confiscated her personal guards and sent his own people to watch her.
The queen didn't care either. She seemed to have accepted her fate and stayed in her bedroom calmly, neither crying nor making a fuss.
When Lan Sisi found out about it, she wanted to go see her, but the king refused.
Not long after, the king issued another decree announcing that he would hold the eldest princess's wedding, and hold a canonization ceremony on the wedding day to officially establish her status as crown princess.
The wedding was held a month later. It was already autumn, and the weather was clear and nice, perfect for a wedding.
In this short month, everyone in the palace was busy all the time. Even Lan Shuang had to try on her wedding dress several times.
Los was almost driven mad. He stared at the tailors with a gloomy face every day, and it looked like he wanted to stare a hole in them with his eyes.
The tailors were so frightened by what they saw that they always suspected that if the eldest princess had not been there, the future prince would have pounced on them and beaten them!
Fortunately, this tragic day is over. On September 15th, the wind is clear, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the whole country celebrates together.
The eldest princess, Lan Shuang Modo, wore a snow-white wedding dress and an exquisite crystal crown on her head. She rode in a carriage pulled by four white horses and was escorted by a group of majestic ceremonial guards. She circled the city and went to the hotel that had been arranged in advance to pick up her husband, Los.
The king's decree was issued early this morning. Lan Shuang is now the Queen of Morian, which is the title of the crown prince of Modor. Ross was named King of Qile, a temporary and nominal title that makes him look higher in status and avoids embarrassment.
Los was waiting for the queen's carriage to arrive in the hotel. When he heard warm cheers and salutes outside, he knew that his queen had arrived.
He stood up and walked out surrounded by a group of maids, and happened to meet Lan Shuang who was getting off the carriage.
Across the noisy crowd, the deafening music, the sky full of ribbons and brilliant flowers, the two looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
Lan Shuang stretched out her hand wearing a white lace glove and said to Luo Si, "My dear husband, Mr. Luo Si, I'm here to pick you up."
A gentle smile filled Ross's eyes. He put one hand behind his back and extended the other hand, holding Lan Shuang's hand and gently kissing it. He half-bowed and said in his deep, magnetic voice, "It is my honor to have Her Majesty the Queen here in person."
