Chapter 816 But she is the only one he cannot let down, nor does he want to let down
Before the queen could speak, the eunuch who came to report the news spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Yulin soldiers who discovered this said that during their patrol this morning, they saw the Empress and Eunuch Yang Cai go to the Hanliang Palace and they didn't come out for a long time..."
The young eunuch subconsciously looked at the queen halfway through his words and didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.
But even if he didn't say it, Emperor Qiwen and everyone present understood the hidden meaning of the young eunuch's words.
Almost at the same time, everyone turned their eyes to the queen in surprise and doubt.
"Yes, Jiang Yurao, it was indeed me who killed her!"
A calm, composed, and incomparably magnanimous voice sounded, as if a thunderclap suddenly appeared in the sky, splitting everyone's brain and heart to a crisp!
"The Queen killed the Imperial Concubine?!"
What kind of a joke is this?
"The Queen has always been wise and virtuous, and has always been gentle and easygoing. She doesn't have a complicated family background. She has always been a role model for the women in the harem. How could she possibly kill someone?"
And the one who was killed was the imperial concubine!
"The Queen must have a reason for this trip!"
"Yes, that must be the case!"
Almost everyone who had heard of the Queen's virtuous reputation believed that it was impossible for her to kill people without any reason.
Emperor Qiwen's face was gloomy, and he looked at the queen with some confusion in his eyes, "Why kill her?"
"Why?" The Queen chuckled. "Shouldn't the Emperor know why?"
The confrontation between the two here had not yet ended when suddenly a murderous figure flew from mid-air, with a cold sword pointing directly at the queen's heart.
"I kill you!!"
A loud shout made everyone look over in shock.
"It's His Highness the Ninth! His Highness the Ninth is going to kill the Queen!!"
Shu He's face changed and she was about to set out to save the queen, but as soon as she took a step forward, Baili Moqing grabbed her hand.
"Don't move, just watch."
Shu He looked at him in confusion, but the next moment he understood what he meant.
Although Baili Moyan is not a first-rate master, his skills as an early third-grade warrior are beyond the reach of ordinary people, let alone the queen who has no martial arts skills at all.
Just when everyone thought that the queen would be killed by Baili Moyan, a loud "bang" was heard.
A black shadow flew backwards and hit the stone pillar in the yard hard.
"puff!!"
"Oh my god! Why did His Highness the Ninth Prince suddenly fly out?"
Everyone's eyes turned to the queen.
A man appeared in front of her. He had a calm expression, ordinary features, and a dustpan on his arm.
A seemingly ordinary person makes people feel a sense of oppression as if a mountain is pressing down on their heads.
"Who is that? He actually defeated the Ninth Prince so easily. How amazing!!"
"That's Eunuch Yang Cai, the chief eunuch beside the Queen."
Shu He knew that Yang Cai was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful!
Just now, she didn't even see how he appeared or how he attacked.
"A second-grade master is truly extraordinary!"
Baili Moqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but didn't say much.
When the emperor saw this, the cold aura emanating from him was about to envelope the entire palace.
Yang Cai!
After Yang Cai took action, many secret guards suddenly appeared around the entire palace and protected Emperor Qiwen.
Eunuch Yang Cai, they knew about it.
On the first day of being secret guards, they had a systematic understanding of the various forces in the palace.
At that time, the training instructor said that Eunuch Yang Cai was the most unfathomable person in the entire palace except for one person!
It was said that Eunuch Yang was once Emperor Qiwen's personal guard! Later, for some unknown reason, he went to the Empress's side.
They never thought that one day they would come face to face with this terrifying person.
Everyone was in high spirits, ready to fight to the death.
"Go back!"
Emperor Qiwen spoke with pride and confidence, because he knew that the Queen would not kill him.
After all, they have been married for so many years, and he knows her well enough.
He just wanted to see what she meant by what she said today!
Baili Moyan got up from the ground and rushed over again with the support of Guan He, questioning the Queen behind Yang Cai: "Queen, my mother and you have never had any hatred or grudges, why did you kill her?!"
Baili Moyan's eyes were red, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eye sockets.
Because the spies he planted in the palace also sent back news, confirming that the imperial concubine had been killed.
He just couldn't understand why the queen, who had always been in retirement, would suddenly rush into Hanliang Palace and kill people?
"No hatred or resentment?" The queen walked out from behind Yang Cai.
She looked at Baili Moyan, her eyes filled with sorrow and longing.
Back then, when Xu'er died, he was younger than he is now.
But now?
Xu'er died, but Jiang Yurao's son grew up freely under the love of his parents. Even though he committed countless sins, he was still safe and sound and became one of the most noble princes in the world!
If the Third Prince's incident hadn't become a demon in her heart, she would have watched her son die before Jiang Yurao died! !
Suppressing the murderous intent in her heart, she turned her gaze away from Baili Moyan and turned to look at Emperor Qiwen, slowly asking, "Your Majesty, tell me, is there any enmity between me and Jiang Yurao?"
The emperor's gloomy pupils suddenly shook after hearing these words.
Those eyes seemed to be telling him something.
The Empress and the concubines in the harem never fought or competed with each other, and there was no hatred or resentment, except when the eldest daughter died that year...
Emperor Qiwen's pupils suddenly dilated, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, causing a hint of panic to appear in his eyes.
"you……"
Could it be that she...
The emperor, who has always been calm, reserved, proud and conceited, actually showed a guilty look at this moment. Doesn't this mean something?
The Queen smiled, but there was no warmth in her smile. "It seems that the Emperor has remembered."
His originally gloomy body couldn't help but take a step back, "Queen, you..."
"Your Majesty, with so many princes, nobles, officials and guests here today, why don't you tell us about the feud between me and the imperial concubine?"
"Let everyone judge whether Concubine Ming should be killed. Was I wrong?!"
Emperor Qiwen was speechless, even a little afraid to face those sharp eyes.
In this world, he can let anyone down, but she is the only one he cannot let down, nor does he want to let down.
