Chapter 444: Your Majesty, are you planning to destroy the corpse?

Jincui Lake, in the painted boat.

A young and beautiful maid led the way, and Han Ding followed with his head lowered, passing through the heavy guards and entering the cabin.

There were no other servants in the cabin except for a relatively young aunt.

Today's main character was sitting behind an exquisite Su embroidery screen, and only a beautiful outline could be vaguely seen.

It's a woman.

Han Ding was wondering in his heart which noble official was the one who sent someone to stop him halfway and invite him to come over for a talk today.

The aunt then spoke up, "Captain Han, why don't you go and pay your respects to the Empress?"

It’s the queen!

Han Ding was startled and immediately bowed, "I am General Han Ding, and I pay my respects to the Queen!"

"Captain Han, get up quickly." The voice of Empress Sima came slowly through the screen.

Not only does he not feel superior, but he actually exudes a sense of intimacy.

Standing up, Han Ding asked tentatively, "May I ask, Your Majesty, what is your command in summoning me here?"

Empress Sima said something to Aunt Suqiu who was standing aside, and Suqiu immediately clapped her hands.

Soon, a beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth and a charming appearance walked in.

"Ting'er greets her aunt."

After the ceremony, she stood aside shyly, raising her head from time to time and secretly glancing at Han Ding.

"Okay, sit down." Empress Sima smiled and asked the two to sit down, then asked Han Ding, "Captain Han, what do you think of my niece?"

Han Ding thought for a moment and answered cautiously, "The queen's niece is of course very good."

Hearing this answer, Empress Sima nodded in satisfaction and said in a distressed tone, "It's good, but I still can't find a suitable husband. I think Captain Han is not bad."

Suggestive words, but keep them to a minimum.

The Queen arranged the marriage for her own niece. Once he agreed to the marriage, he would have a smooth road ahead of him.

She didn't believe that he wasn't moved.

Han Ding now understood why the Queen had called him here.

He promised him great benefits so that he would give up pursuing Meng Xing.

He immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness. But my father just passed away, and I have not yet avenged my blood feud. I dare not ask for anything else, otherwise I will only harm others."

When Sima Ting heard this, her face changed and she was about to cry.

Seeing that he was unwilling to give in, Empress Sima's voice turned cold, "Captain Han, why are you so stubborn? As long as you marry Ting'er, I and the Right Prime Minister can guarantee you and let you rise to prominence from now on. I think your father would be happy to see you get married and start a family."

She has shown her sincerity enough. A legitimate daughter of the Sima family is more than enough to marry into any aristocratic family. She is more than a perfect match for him.

Han Ding was unmoved. "My queen, our dynasty governs the world with filial piety. If I were to forget my father's revenge for the sake of glory, how could I survive in this world? Even if others don't say it, I would despise myself in my heart!"

Empress Sima said sternly, "Aren't you afraid that I will have someone kill you?!"

Han Ding was not afraid. "Why should I be afraid of killing me? Anyway, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has already taken over the case. Even if I die, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan will give justice to my father!"

When it comes to Xiao Jinxuan, Empress Sima becomes extremely angry.

If she killed Han Ding at this time, Xiao Jinxuan might find out that she was the one responsible.

In this case, there is only that step to take.

She sighed with regret, "Such a good marriage, what a pity. Ting'er, please toast Captain Han and let's end this matter."

"Yes." Sima Ting walked to Han Ding with tears in her eyes, holding the cup, "Captain Han, although you and I are not destined to be together, I would like to offer this wine to wish you all the best in the future!"

Han Ding picked up the wine glass on the table, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the wine entered my throat, a strange feeling rushed into my mind.

He was groggy and had a splitting headache. He could only hear the chaotic footsteps beside him, mixed with the Queen's voice.

"Send him to the room on the boat, Ting'er. If this is accomplished, I will not let your mother and your brother down."

"Thank you for your grace, Madam!"

Looking at Han Ding who was limp as mud, Sima Ting took a deep breath and reached out to untie his clothes bit by bit...

But in less than a moment, she picked up her clothes, pinned her hair askew, and ran out of the room in a panic.

"No... It's bad, Madam, Han Ding... He's dead!"

The sudden news of his death made Empress Sima look a little surprised. "How could this happen?"

It's obviously a wine that makes people excited, so how could it be poisonous?

Things suddenly became complicated. She only thought about it for a moment before making a prompt decision. "Suqiu, immediately arrange for someone to deal with the body, and deal with it cleanly. Also, deal with the wine and glasses as soon as possible!"

We must not allow anyone to find fault with her in this matter, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to resolve.

"Yes." Suqiu responded and went to do it immediately.

The guards lifted Han Ding's body out of the cabin and were about to load it onto the boat when a sound like thunder exploded in everyone's ears -

"What is the Queen planning to do? Destroy the body and remove all traces?"

At the bow of the pleasure boat, Xiao Jinxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

A pair of phoenix eyes are deep, as if the stars are gathered in them.

Then, a group of detectives dressed in police uniforms appeared out of nowhere and took control of the situation at lightning speed.

Empress Sima was named and she no longer hid her identity. She walked out of the cabin and asked, "Prince Xuan? Why are you here?"

Xiao Jinxuan's voice was as calm as water. "Han Ding is the plaintiff in the case that I am responsible for. During the trial, I don't know how many people wanted to kill him. Naturally, I had to send someone to follow him to prevent him from being murdered. Just now, the spy reported that Han Ding was taken away by a mysterious person. I was worried, so I decided to come and take a look myself. Unexpectedly, I was still a step too late."

Is it really such a coincidence as he said?

Empress Sima glanced at Xiao Jinxuan suspiciously.

"Master, I found the poisoned wine and wine cup that killed Captain Han. I have to be quick, or I will be thrown into the lake!"

Ling Xiao came around the stern with the evidence in his hand and raised his eyebrows at his master as if to seek credit.

Xiao Jinxuan looked at Empress Sima thoughtfully, "Your Majesty, are you going to explain?"

How come Suqiu can't even handle such a small matter?

Empress Sima was upset and said coldly, "If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext. I have nothing to explain."

Anyway, Han Ding is already dead, so there is no evidence.

She insisted that she had no knowledge of the matter and at most she would push a maid out to take the blame.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a few weak "coughs". The officer in charge of guarding Han Ding's body looked in the direction of the sound and immediately shouted, "Your Majesty, Han Ding is still alive!"

Xiao Jinxuan immediately stepped forward and checked his breathing and blood flow. "He should still be saved. Lingxiao, do you have any detoxification pills?"

"Yes!" Ling Xiao immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, and fed it into Han Ding's mouth.

Not long after, Han Ding spat out a mouthful of black blood and actually woke up, "Prince Xuan... Your Highness..."

The moment he opened his mouth, the queen's heart was instantly blocked in her throat!
