Feng Mo Ran was stunned for a moment, looking completely innocent.
"Your Majesty, why do you say that? I knew nothing about the whole matter before this."
The emperor frowned and threw the poison hard onto the ground.
The Emperor pointed his finger at the Empress's forehead.
"You!...You! As the ancients said, nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart! Now I've seen it for myself. We're husband and wife, yet you dare to plot against me!"
Shen Biyun's head buzzed for a moment. She managed to get up and practically crawled to the Emperor's side, then hugged his legs with both hands.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty! I am innocent! Someone is plotting to harm me! Your Majesty, please do not fall for the evil schemes of these villains!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes to slits and kicked Shen Biyun away.
"A villain? A treacherous plot?! That's laughable! The evidence is overwhelming, and you're still trying to deny it!"
After saying this, the emperor suddenly flicked his sleeve and turned around.
"As a mother, I can understand your desire for the crown prince to succeed to the throne, but I never imagined that you would be so ruthless as to try to murder the current emperor!"
"It's truly a tragedy for the Crown Prince to have a mother like you!"
"Shen Biyun, what's done is done. Don't try to deny it. From this day forward, our relationship is over!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Biyun crawled forward on her knees, still trying to grab the Emperor.
"Your Majesty! I'm innocent! I'm innocent!..."
The emperor, unwilling to hear any further explanations, addressed the guards.
"The Empress Dowager has committed a breach of virtue; from this moment forward, she shall be banished to the Cold Palace!"
Two guards came over and began dragging Shen Biyun away without any mercy.
Feng Xilan was completely stunned.
He never expected things to turn out this way.
"Father, please calm your anger! It is absolutely unacceptable to banish the Empress Dowager to the Cold Palace! The Empress Dowager is the mother of the nation, and her sudden death is suspicious. I urge Your Majesty to reconsider."
"Your Majesty, please grant me some time. Once I have investigated the matter thoroughly, I will certainly give Your Majesty an explanation. I hope Your Majesty will not act rashly!"
The Emperor turned his head and glared at the Crown Prince.
"You are also involved in this matter. I order you to return to the Crown Prince's residence immediately. You are not to leave the residence without my permission!"
Now that things had come to this, Feng Xilan could no longer remain calm and knelt on the ground, pleading desperately.
"Father! There must be more to this than meets the eye. We must not let our loved ones suffer while our enemies rejoice, thus falling right into the hands of the villains!"
At this moment, Feng Guche was extremely angry, and even felt dizzy.
While he could still stand, Feng Guche managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Get him out!"
Just then, Shen Biyun was dragged to the door by the guards.
Before she left, Shen Biyun shouted loudly.
"Lan'er, your mother knows you are a filial son, so please stop pleading for me."
Feng Xilan stared blankly at Shen Biyun, watching helplessly as the guards dragged her away.
Two guards helped the empress down, and at that moment, two more guards came to the crown prince.
The guard gestured for him to enter.
"Your Highness, please!"
Feng Xilan turned around and said her last words.
"Father, Father, please don't be so heartless..."
Before he could finish speaking, the emperor waved to the guards.
Two guards grabbed the crown prince from the left and right and dragged him out of the palace.
No sooner had Feng Xilan left than the Emperor fainted once again.
The entire hall immediately descended into chaos.
