Half an hour later, after Fang Yun finished cleaning up and had something to eat, he got another news.

It was Pei Yao who sent Fu Xi to tell her that Xu had been sentenced to death and would be executed that evening, so that she could rest assured to raise her baby, and Pei Yao would take care of other matters.

Hearing this, Fang Yun was not at all disturbed.

The evidence for committing such a crime is still conclusive. If Xu does not die, Fang Yongke will have to re-evaluate his weight in Pei Yao's heart and make more plans.

"Qingrong, please go to Xianfu Palace for me." Fang Yun narrowed his eyes and ordered in a deep voice.

"What does the empress want this slave to do?" Qingrong asked.

It's not like I was going to see Xu off on her last journey. Xu was not at that level yet. Fang Yun went there in person before Concubine Yang died.

Sure enough, Fang Yun said calmly, "Give her a chance to explain why she hates me so much. Of course, whether she says it or not, I am just going through the motions. I think the queen has already beaten her. It’s not necessarily that he can open his mouth.”

"But that doesn't matter, the empress just needs to be a good teacher." Qingrong quickly reacted.

Since the palace maid is wanted to be brought back as a witness, it is natural to explain why Fang Yue found the palace maid. Fang Yun doesn't want Pei Yao to know that she was staring at the queen in the first place.

Now that she is the victim, let's act like a victim.

The more defenseless she was against the Queen, the more excessive the Queen's behavior seemed.

Moreover, if Xu betrayed the queen before she died, the queen would also have a grudge against the Xu family in her heart.

After all, the Xu family is a big tree with deep roots. The death penalty Xu committed this time has nothing to do with the Xu family. Even if it will be implicated to some extent, it is still a temporary bow.

Relying on the in-laws with the Lu family and the capable descendants, there is no guarantee that they will show their talents again in ten or twenty years.

If the fight with the Queen's Association really reaches that point, then the Xu family can be regarded as the fifth prince's help.

Whether it is for the present or considering the future, this is something that should be done.

Qingrong went quickly.

The people guarding Xu Lingyi in Xianfu Palace were all from the imperial court, which naturally made it easier for people in Yuzhang Palace.

Qingrong asked the question as expected, and she was offended that the queen had indeed sent someone here, and she knew it in her heart.

After meeting Xu Lingyi, she never mentioned what happened at the beginning.

After all, she still cared about the Xu family, and Xu Lingyi was determined to refuse to confess the queen.

But Qingrong was just going through the motions here. No matter what she said or not, she was going to die tonight. A few days later, the palace maid named Qinglian was brought back to testify whether Mrs. Xu had said anything. If the Queen instigated it, there would be no proof.

As for whether to remind her, it was the queen who tampered with her, not Fang Yun.

That's not necessary.

Mr. Xu should just be a confused man when he dies, since he is not sober when he is alive anyway.

Otherwise, how could a good hand of cards be played to such a pulp?

So Qingrong didn't stay in Xianfu Palace for long, and left in just a stick of incense.

The people around the queen were also watching. They heard that people from Yuzhang Palace went to Xianfu Palace, and they were also worried.

Worried about being questioned by Fang Yun.

But then I thought about it, no matter how stupid Mrs. Xu was, after all, she had a deep friendship with the Xu family. She had already warned her about the consequences of continuing to accuse Concubine Zhao and angering Concubine Zhao, so she probably wouldn't say anything more.

With such thoughts in mind, the Queen also made up her mind to settle Xu's matter as early as possible to avoid further complications. So when it was time to send people off, they immediately sent Yan Li to take the things.

After returning from doing his errands, Yan Li reported the truth truthfully.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already questioned you. People from Yuzhang Palace did come to ask some questions, but Xu Lingyi remembered your Majesty's words and said nothing. She chose poisonous wine in the end."

In fact, Xu Lingyi did not choose this poisonous wine himself.

Facing death, Xu Lingyi refused to give in. She cried and wanted her mother and family to come and save her. In the end, Yan Li had someone forcefully hold her down and forcefully force her to drink.

Of course, the queen would not ask about these details, she just nodded and said solemnly.

"I intend to support her, but she is too stupid to commit such a stupid capital crime. It would be better to end it as soon as possible, so as not to do anything stupid in the future and bring more trouble to the family."

After saying this, the queen asked again casually.

"How about Concubine Zhao and the Fourth Prince?"

"My servant has asked, everything is fine. The emperor has sent Dr. Zeng to attend nearby." Minsi whispered, paused before speaking again, "Mother, this is against the rules. Dr. Zeng is a foreigner after all. Live in the harem."

"What the emperor says are rules. Now that the emperor values ​​Concubine Zhao and her son so seriously, it's the time when you feel guilty and pity. Don't use the rules to speak in front of the emperor. It will only make the emperor more unhappy. Besides, Imperial Doctor Zeng Nian You are already old, and there are people from the imperial court watching you from left to right, so it is impossible for anything to happen."

The Queen waved her hands, feeling too tired to say anything more.

Now she doesn't want to get involved with Yuzhang Palace in the slightest.

He turned around and went to the side hall to see the fifth prince.

"Why does this child look so bad?" The queen frowned, "Didn't it get better in the past two days?"

"Originally, it was getting better. Your Highness is not tired today. His Highness just had a whim and copied the copybook for half an hour. At night, his body started to feel warm again. The slave girl has given His Highness some medicine, and the imperial doctor has also come to see him. , It is said that it is probably because of uneasiness, after all, what happened in the Hall of Supreme Harmony last night, His Highness was somewhat shocked."

The wet nurse who was taking care of the fifth prince hurriedly explained, tremblingly.

The fifth prince has been like this since the weather started to get cold. It's not serious, but he is weak. The whole child looks like he has no energy.

After hearing this explanation, the queen lost some of her anger and did not ask any more questions. She just sat down and reached out to touch the fifth prince's face.

The moment she touched the child's cheek, the queen's heart softened a little. At that moment, she seemed not to want to continue struggling.

But then I thought about it, if she doesn't earn it, if Concubine Zhao and the fourth prince come to power in the future, will she be able to accommodate the fifth prince as his legitimate son?

Even if the fifth prince is accommodated, the Lu family will be destroyed in order to ensure that the fifth prince is no longer a threat.

So even though she was tired, she still had to fight for the position of prince for the sake of her children and the future of the Lu family.

After sitting in the side hall for a long time, the queen got up and returned to her bedroom.

While Tim Mo was waiting for her to bathe and wash, he told her that the emperor had gone to Yuzhang Palace.

"What I had expected a long time ago is that the Emperor went to her place on New Year's Eve. He has already broken the rules for her." Huang said calmly.

Seeing that the queen was in a bad mood, Tian Mo was sensible and didn't say anything more.

As for the Yuzhang Palace, when Pei Yao arrived, Fang Yun had already taken a bath and lay down.

I didn't feel it when I didn't tell you before, but now that I know I'm pregnant, I feel sleepy.

Especially at night, when I was about to go to bed, the earth dragon in Yuzhang Palace was warm. I took a hot bath and lay down on the bed, which made my eyes tremble. (End of chapter)
