After leaving Yikun Palace, Xiao Shengyun returned to the imperial study with a cold face.

There are still piles of memorials in the imperial study room that have not been dealt with. The time wasted in Yikun Palace has delayed many important government affairs.

He had a cold expression on his face, if he still couldn't understand what Concubine Shu did just now, then don't be an emperor.

He knew that the Empress Dowager often made him get close to Concubine Shu, but he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager tricked him into going to Yikun Palace today, in fact, to let Concubine Shu act flattery.

Thinking of Concubine Shu's tulle, and the thick and strange incense in the air, her eyebrows became as cold as a knife's edge.

At this moment, the harem is in chaos.

The news that the prince of Yikun Palace was dead spread like wildfire.

Together with the news that it was the empress who killed Concubine Shu and the prince, it spread throughout the harem in an instant, and the maids and eunuchs rushed to Yikun Palace.

Those who watched the excitement and those who were impatient, all rushed towards that end.

"Have you heard? The prince born to Concubine Shu is out of breath!"

A court lady hurried towards Yikun Palace, turning her head to talk to the people around her.

The people around looked surprised: "I saw everyone running there, and I was still wondering. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen!"

"Not only that, I also heard that it was the queen who killed the prince, and now Concubine Shu is pulling the queen to settle the score!"

The man was so shocked that he almost dropped his jaw: "Is the empress the murderer? How could it be?"

"Who knows, tsk tsk, it's really cruel." The maid tsk tsk shook her head, pulling her companion to run faster, for fear of being left behind.

They ran and talked all the way, and the noise spread all the way to the imperial study.

"What's going on outside?" Xiao Shengyun asked with a slight frown when he heard the commotion as soon as he walked to the imperial study.

The little eunuch on the side immediately ran over, and when he came back, his face was full of surprise after inquiring about the news, and his voice was a little weak: "Return, return to the emperor, something happened to Yikun Palace."

"Yikun Palace? What happened?" Xiao Shengyun frowned, he seemed to have heard the queen's name just now.

Is the queen in Yikun Palace?

"Little prince, he's out of breath!" The little eunuch's face burst into cold sweat, and his heart pounded.

When such a thing happened, it would be frightening even to report back to the emperor. If the emperor heard the news and wanted to punish him in a fit of anger, he might suffer.

"How could this be?" Xiao Shengyun was slightly taken aback.

The Empress Dowager lied that she wanted him to see the little prince. When he went to Yikun Palace, he was just tired of Concubine Shu's actions, so he left without seeing the child.

In a short time, that child lost his temper?
As calm as he was, they were all surprised.

The little eunuch hesitated for a moment, and said tremblingly: "The concubine Shu said that the empress killed the little prince, and now the empress is being stopped, and there is a lot of trouble on the other side."

"What? Concubine Shu said that the queen killed the little prince?" Xiao Shengyun's black eyes were startled, and his expression immediately became stern.

In his heart, he did not believe that Su Lijin had harmed the little prince.

He understands that the queen is a human being, and she will never do such an outrageous thing.

But, why does this matter have something to do with the queen?

Thinking that the empress was still in Yikun Palace, Xiao Shengyun's black eyes froze, and he couldn't stay in the imperial study any longer, so he strode out.

"Let's go to Yikun Palace."

The eunuchs immediately drove to Yikun Palace.

In the Yikun Palace, Su Lijin was stopped by Concubine Shu in the palace. During the stalemate between the two, they heard the eunuch's voice from outside.

"The Emperor is here!"

She was taken aback, and looked towards the door, only to see Xiao Shengxue in a dragon robe striding in.

The two had a face-to-face meeting, and Su Lijin opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

She didn't know why Xiao Shengyun came here.

But, presumably, Xiao Shengyun also came here for the little prince.

Thinking of the lifeless little prince, she felt a little complicated. She wondered if Xiao Shengyun also thought that she killed the little prince.

The little prince is Xiao Shengyun's child, he must be very angry and heartbroken...

"What's going on?" Xiao Shengyun's eyes paused on her before turning inside.

Concubine Shu stood beside her baby, and when she saw Xiao Shengnian, a gleam of joy flashed across her face, and she immediately pinched the flesh on her waist, a burst of heart-rending pain gushed out, and tears fell out of her eyes immediately.

She cried bitterly to Xiao Shengyun: "Your majesty, you are finally here. The queen killed our child, so you have to decide for the little prince..."

Concubine Shu burst into tears, but she secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, she just thought of a solution when Su Lijin came.

Otherwise, if the little prince dies suddenly, then the responsibility will still be on his own head, which is really bad luck!

Without the weight of the little prince, she can no longer be charged with dereliction of duty.

But it's different now, now Su Lijin has become the one to blame.

She just used tricks to let Su Lijin get in touch with the child, and she deliberately designed Su Lijin. Everyone heard that she asked the queen to hold the child. Now that the child died in front of the queen, the queen had ten mouths, so she couldn't tell!

Su Lijin, today, let's see if you have the ability to stand up!

You will be buried with me for my little prince!

Su Lijin frowned, but her face was calm. Looking at Xiao Shengyun's questioning eyes, she shook her head: "I didn't kill the little prince. When I found out, he was already out of breath."

"The grandson of the mourning family!"

Suddenly there was a wailing sound outside the door, and everyone saw that the Empress Dowager stumbled in with the help of the maids and eunuchs.

Everyone saluted immediately, but the queen mother was so frightened that she didn't look at them at all, and went straight to the swaddling baby.

"Queen, the concubine's child was killed by the empress, you must uphold justice for the little prince!"

The queen mother's heart sank, and she walked over with shaking hands, and the moment she saw the child's body, she immediately screamed: "It's gone! It's gone!"

The palace immediately knelt down.

"Your Majesty, quickly abolish this empress who killed the emperor's heir with a snake-hearted heart!"

Rushing in front of Su Li, the queen mother glared red-eyed: "Queen, your father is not a good person. Your Su family's upper beam is not straight and your lower beam is crooked. You are not a good person either. Today, the Ai family will clean up the house for the royal family." !"

"Queen Mother, the concubine did not kill the little prince. If you want to convict me, you must first produce evidence."

When her father was scolded, Su Lijin couldn't help showing an angry look on her face.

A maid in Concubine Shu's palace suddenly rushed over, pointed at her and said, "It was the empress who killed the little prince. This servant saw it!"

"Before the servant could stop him, the queen had already killed him, the little prince was killed by her!"

The queen mother immediately gritted her teeth: "You poisonous woman! Your majesty, don't you abolish her?"

Xiao Shengyun frowned, glanced at the maid, who flinched.

Seeing this court lady who came out of nowhere, Su Lijin sneered: "If you really saw Bengong make a move, why didn't you shout first and let everyone come over?"

"If you really saw it, would you still be so calm and wait until this time to identify me?"

The maid froze, and looked at Concubine Shu in bewilderment.

Concubine Shu wailed and threw herself on the baby, her voice was shrill: "The concubine's child is dead, but now even the murderer can't be punished, and the concubine is dead."

She changed the topic in time, and everyone's eyes turned back to Su Lijin again.

The queen mother said bitterly: "Queen, you can't conceive a child, you are jealous and have a grudge, so you killed the little prince, you don't want to quibble!"

"Your Majesty, what are you waiting for, quickly take her down and abolish her position as queen!"

Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengyun, with a slight sneer in his eyes.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to add a crime, Concubine Shu made it clear that she was framing herself.

Although she didn't know why the little prince died, the court lady who just gave false testimony was obviously instigated by Concubine Shu.

She had reason to suspect that Concubine Shu, who had made such preparations, obviously knew that the little prince was dead a long time ago.

"I believe in the queen." Xiao Shengyun said.

Su Lijin was startled, and looked at him blankly: "The emperor trusts his concubines?"

Xiao Shengxun nodded: "Let Imperial Physician Lu do the autopsy, I don't think the little prince was strangled to death."
