After the first fool

Chapter 191 What is the truth?

The maid frowned slightly, "The queen didn't do anything, it wasn't the queen who pushed down the imperial concubine."

"Huh—" Who knows who suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. Although they don't know what this method is, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that what the maid said at this moment is the truth.

"Why not the queen?" Mo Xiaoran asked persistently, she didn't want to give Liao Xueke an opportunity, she had better cut off all her escape routes one by one.

"Because the queen stood two steps away from the imperial concubine, the queen did not push down the imperial concubine, it was the imperial concubine herself..."

"Enough!" Bai Zixu suddenly shouted in a cold voice. The maid's eyes trembled, and her lost sanity returned in an instant. He looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.

Although the words just now were not finished, everyone knew very well what those words meant.

It means that it was Liao Xue who called out to catch the thief!She fell down, but framed Mo Xiaoran, framed the queen, and used the dragon in her stomach. The two crimes were enough to kill Liao Xue. At this moment, she was already pale, and she fell on the chair, her lips trembling uncontrollably , I couldn't say a word.

How could this be?
She calculated everything, but why did Mo Xiaoran escape?She sacrificed her own child just to dismount La Mo Xiaoran, but why?Why was she still able to grasp the clues?

Liao Xue didn't know where she had lost. How could her court lady suddenly obey the queen?Blame yourself in turn?

Mo Xiaoran flipped her wrist, put the jade pendant in her palm, and without looking at Bai Zixu, whose face turned green and pale, walked slowly towards Bai Mo, and handed the jade pendant over: "Thank you."

"You are indeed an extraordinary woman." Bai Mo's lips curled into a smile of praise. She had a wonderful battle today, and she fought heartily. , let the court lady correct the imperial concubine in full view, it can be said that she did not play well.

Mo Xiaoran shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and accepted his compliment very calmly, "It's just a trivial matter." In fact, she still had a trick in mind, and turned around to look at the high-headed Bai Zixu and Liao Xue, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you want to continue?"

Now that the matter has come to an end, anyone with a discerning eye will know the truth at a glance, but if Bai Zixu still refuses to give up, she doesn't mind showing evidence.

However, at that time, Liao Xue might not be the only one who can't step down from the stage.

Bai Zixu gritted his teeth secretly. He is not a fool, nor is he a fool. The king who can sit on the dragon chair is naturally suspicious. Glancing at Liao Xue next to him, at this moment, even Bai Zixu didn't know whether it was more heartache or heartbreak.

Once, she was such a beautiful, gentle and kind woman, but now, what changed her?In my memory, why did the delicate and gentle girl turn into the current appearance with evil intentions?
Bai Zixu's face was slumped, and he fell down on the dragon chair. He hadn't said anything for a long time. He couldn't let the truth be exposed. It would only shame the entire royal family. Like a knife cutting.

"Your Majesty, do you want to continue?" Mo Xiaoran pressed her every step of the way, not giving Bai Zixu time to recover. She knew very well that Bai Zixu would definitely keep Liao Xue, but she didn't want to be a scapegoat!His clear eyes reflected the tired Bai Zixu on the high platform, and asked slowly word by word.

Bai Zixu raised his hand feebly, "No need."

So far, what is there to pursue?
Why?His mournful eyes shifted to Liao Xue, whose face was ashen ashes, why?
It was her child, how could she treat it like this?
"Your Majesty..." Liao Xue's heart ached so badly that she didn't dare to look at Bai Zixu's disappointed expression, dry lips, and dryly uttered a word, like a murmur, like a plea for help, and like to persuade him to stay.

Mo Xiaoran silently raised her head and looked at the gold-encrusted ceiling above her head. For an emperor who was about to become a father, being used by his beloved woman to kill the fetus in his womb, one could imagine how sad he was at the moment.

The civil and military officials below bowed their heads one after another, and they didn't dare to look up. This is a scandal of the royal family. If it is spread, how can the emperor gain a foothold in the world in the future?

Liao Ke's eyes were darkened, and his feet staggered. If the officials around him hadn't supported him quickly, he might have fallen down. Now, what Liao Xue did was exposed by Mo Xiaoran in public. In the future, how could she Get a foothold in the palace?And how should he continue to stay in the court?
I thought it was because mothers are more expensive than children, I thought I would rise to the top, ruined, ruined everything!

Above the main hall, the atmosphere seemed to freeze, only the rapid breathing of the crowd spread.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with this case?" It was Bai Qingluo who spoke up, and he was probably the only one who could remain unmoved now. The privacy in the palace was just the tip of the iceberg, and it was only the tip of the iceberg for him. For him, it was almost insignificant, a pair of deep eyes looked straight at the emperor above him, and his brows were furrowed in displeasure.

Bai Zixu was stared at by those extremely cold eyes, his whole body froze, he tried to cheer up, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, but it was difficult to put on his usual mask again, the sadness in his eyes made people feel distressed, "I……"

Mo Xiaoran rolled her eyes and looked at him, waiting for his decision.

"I..." Looking at the civil and military officials next to him, Bai Zixu couldn't make up his mind for a while, what should he do?According to the law, Liao Xue had absolutely no chance of surviving, but he couldn't bear it!Even if she did such a wrong thing, he still couldn't bear to push her to the guillotine.

A glint flashed across Mo Xiaoran's eyes, Bai Zixu's hesitation and intolerance at this moment were real, at least, in his heart, Liao Xue's weight was definitely not light.

When he was about to kill himself, he didn't necessarily struggle much.

"Uncle Huang, how do you think about this matter?" After much deliberation, Bai Zixu still couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, so he could only kick the ball towards Bai Qingluo, hoping that he would come up with a way.

Bai Qingluo raised her eyebrows slightly, but she glanced at Mo Xiaoran first, with a smile in her eyes, "I think that since Mo Xiaoran didn't make a big mistake, she should wash away her grievances and restore her innocence." identity of."

Mo Xiaoran smiled lightly, she was very satisfied with Bai Qingluo's words, she didn't want to care about how Bai Zixu would deal with Liao Xue, that was their business, she just wanted to get rid of the scapegoat as soon as possible Body, and then, go out of the palace in style and ease.

Bai Zixu nodded again and again: "I misunderstood the queen."

Queen?

Mo Xiaoran's heart twitched, and she always felt that things seemed to be developing in another direction that she absolutely didn't want to see, especially when she saw the apology and determination on Bai Zixu's face, she felt even more uneasy.

"Is the Criminal Department here?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment immediately walked out of the queue, "The humble minister is here."

"Immediately erase the Queen's criminal record, she is innocent." Bai Zixu twitched the corners of his mouth mechanically, but that smile was uglier than crying. Except for Mo Xiaoran, no one expected that the matter would develop to this point. It turns out that the most innocent person has become the culprit, and the biggest criminal has become the most innocent existence.

How ridiculous?How sad?
It was just seven short days, and Feng Shui took turns, a trace of melancholy flashed across Mo Xiaoran's brows, but she felt a bit of sympathy and pity for Liao Xue, who hadn't recovered yet. In fact, she should have done something earlier When making such a decision, be prepared that once someone finds out or exposes you, you will lose everything.

People are always responsible for their own decisions.

"Yes, I will burn all the case files about the queen immediately after I come down to court." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment promised very readily. Now that the queen has been framed, her case files will naturally be destroyed, even if Bai Zixu doesn't say anything. He will do the same.

Bai Zixu let out a breath slowly, "Are you satisfied with this result?"

He looked down at Mo Xiaoran, and asked softly, his words were full of exhaustion.

Mo Xiaoran nodded slightly, "My emperor is wise." This was the first time she felt sincerely that Bai Zixu was a wise king!
wise?

He evoked a sarcastic smile, if he was really wise, he wouldn't have brought himself into such a dilemma at this moment, making him, the emperor, the laughing stock of all officials!
A trace of haze appeared in his eyes, Bai Zixu clenched the armrest of the dragon chair, and suppressed the anger and sadness in his heart. Now, it is not the time for him to think about this matter, "Since you are innocent, then, I will immediately decree to restore your empress status, Concubine Xuegui lost her virtue first, from now on, the Phoenix Seal will be entrusted to you for safekeeping."

This was to appease Mo Xiaoran's wronged feelings, weaken Liao Xue's real power, and return the queen's rights to Mo Xiaoran.

As long as she has the phoenix seal, she will be the most honorable woman in the world!It is a genuine Nirvana Phoenix!
Mo Xiaoran was slightly taken aback, with a rather strange look on her face.

Bai Zixu's heart twitched, and he asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you thank me?" Could it be that she is still not satisfied with returning the Phoenix Seal to her?

Mo Xiaoran's complicated gaze met Bai Zixu's dissatisfied gaze, and then she sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you have decreed to abolish me."

"I withdraw my will now! You are still my queen and the mother of Dongyao's country!" Bai Zixu seemed to have a premonition of what Mo Xiaoran was thinking. He was so confused at the time that he actually made the decree After the abolition, although the emperor promises a thousand gold, but the truth of the case has been revealed, he can use this as an excuse to withdraw the imperial decree and restore Mo Xiaoran's post!

Mo Xiaoran narrowed her eyes in displeasure, with a hint of coldness between her brows, "Your Majesty, if someone goes out, the water that is spilled will be hard to cover."

"What do you mean?" Bai Zixu held the armrest tightly, stood up straight, his tall body stood tall, overlooking Mo Xiaoran condescendingly, "I have decreed to restore your post, aren't you satisfied?" ? Is the Ministry of Rites here?"

"The minister is here." The Minister of Rites also hurried out of the queue and bowed to salute.

"Is there a notice posted about the empress being deposed?" Bai Zixu asked in a cold voice.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites shook his head honestly: "Because the matter is in a hurry and the case has not been investigated clearly, the announcement is still under the Ministry of Rites and has not yet been announced to the world."

fine……

There is still a chance to make amends...

"Did you hear that?" Bai Zixu evoked a gentle smile, but there was no trace of warmth in his eyes: "The announcement has never been announced to the world, and you are still my queen! You are the mother of a country!"
