The sky gradually deepened, and the Imperial Palace inevitably shrouded in a layer of gray.

Su Qiye and Dongling Qi did not leave the palace, but were arranged in another side hall in the palace.

Although they were coerced to come, Su Qiye and his wife were not treated specially. As before, they ate and drank according to the standards of distinguished guests. The only thing that made Su Qiye feel uncomfortable was that she didn't know who invited her.

However, throughout the night, Su Qiye was not told who to see and what to do, but the only thing that made her happy was that the man only arranged a guest room for himself and donglingqi. They could only sleep in one room and would not be disturbed by others. In that case, with such a good time, place and people, she can't waste such a good opportunity. Simply feel at ease and ready to stay.

However, at the moment, Su Qiye didn't know that although he was very peaceful here, there was no peace in the Imperial Palace at the moment.

It's night.

In the Zhongcui palace where the queen lived, Ziling zijue of Xiling knelt straight on the ground with a firm and decisive face.

In front of him, the elegant mother of a country, dressed in a snow-white plain clothes, her pale face was without a trace of blood, and her eyes glittered with tears, which was a piece of pain and despair.

"Jue'er, I'm sorry for you. I did something wrong. It's my fault..."

The Queen's voice trembled, and her face looked very sad.

Xiling zijue knelt straight on the ground, motionless and expressionless, said in a loud voice: "the mother doesn't have to say much about it. It was done by the son minister alone. The purpose is only to frame the second younger brother. Only because the son minister was made difficult by the second younger brother on the day he returned to the palace and had a grudge, so he made this bad decision. Please bring down the father and the son minister!"

Dark depths, slowly out of a person, a low-key blue cloth, an old face, a pair of sharp and deep eyes.

This man is the father of Ziling Jue, the emperor of Xiling state.

"Your Majesty?" the queen did not expect that the emperor would appear in her palace out of thin air. She was surprised, and then reluctantly showed a smile. However, the next moment was frightened.

"Do you know the sin?" the emperor ignored the queen and looked at Xiling zijue coldly.

"My son and Minister know their sins and only ask my father and emperor to punish them." Xiling zijue confessed without hesitation, and his face was full of calm. Even though he didn't do it himself, his mother did something wrong and he should bear it.

"Well, in that case, I will..."

"Wait!" the emperor's words were suddenly interrupted. The queen staggered around Xiling zijue on the runway. "Putong" knelt down on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty's clear lesson, it was my concubine's idea. It was my concubine's fault that my concubine asked my close maid to buy poison. It's none of jue'er's business. Please forgive jue'er. My concubine is willing to pay for it with death!"

The emperor looked at the queen with deep eyes. For a long time, he couldn't say a word.

The queen was now in tears, and the whole person seemed a little haggard and desperate. She had long lost her original appearance of grace and dignity.

However, Xiling zijue still knelt on the ground and insisted: "my father should understand that my mother, as the head of the harem, has never taken the initiative to harm anyone over the years. She can't even kill a rabbit. How can she poison people like this? She is just a mother worried about her son, so she will take all the blame on herself..."

"Pa -"

Suddenly there was a crisp slap in the face in the hall, which directly interrupted what Xiling zijue urgently needed to say.

The Queen's mood was a little broken and roared at Xiling zijue: "shut up! You are the crown prince of today and the future emperor. How could you do such a thing!"

Xiling zijue's face was swollen by the beating. However, he still knelt on the ground and said straightly, "please bring down your father and Emperor! My son and minister are willing to take the blame!"

However, the emperor is the emperor after all. After all, he has been in power for so many years. How can he not know who did it, and how can he not understand the empress's eagerness to protect the calf and the prince's filial piety? The two people take responsibility for each other. They just want to get rid of each other's sin and preserve each other.

Hey

"Rong'er, come here and come to me. I have something to say to you." the emperor suddenly sighed and called.

Rong'er in the emperor's mouth is naturally the name of Nalan Rong, the mother of Xiling zijue. Rong'er is the milk name she has been using since she was young. Except for her family, she has not heard anyone call herself like this for more than ten years.

Xiling zijue had noticed something wrong, but she didn't seem to believe that her father would do something bad to her mother, so she didn't speak immediately, but he already felt very nervous.

The queen looked at the emperor with eyes full of movement. She hardly hesitated and got up and walked to the emperor.

"Rong'er, do you remember the time when Xiao Jiu's mother hanged herself?" the Emperor didn't know why, so he suddenly said.

The Queen's eyes flickered, the tears in her eyes were even worse, her lips were muttering, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

"In fact, I know that the bodyguard was arranged by you, and you planned all this yourself." the emperor took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Your Majesty?!" the queen exclaimed, looking at him shaking his head madly, with more and more tears. "It's not like this... No, it's not!"

The emperor ignored her, but continued very calmly: "You and I have been husband and wife for so many years, not to mention that you are the daughter of the right Prime Minister of the current Dynasty. Today's Queen, I always want to give you some face, otherwise how do you govern the harem? Besides, your friendship for me, I don't want to break and punish you. I hope you can repent and be the queen with peace of mind..."

"Your Majesty..." the queen couldn't be more desperate. She seemed to have thought of the picture of her being given poisonous wine, being thrown into the cold palace and dying miserably.

"I know you did it today, but I don't blame you. I can also understand your eagerness to protect the calf and understand your concerns. But can you understand that if he really killed someone, would he, as your child, want you to do so? He can understand?" the emperor pointed to Xiling zijue, with a touch of anger in his eyes, but more helplessness and sadness.

"Your Majesty, my concubine already knew that she was wrong. My concubine is willing to be punished. Even if she... Dies, she won't have any complaints. Just ask your majesty to spare jue'er. He doesn't know anything. He is innocent..." the queen grabbed the emperor's sleeve and begged pitifully.

However, Xiling zijue said at this time: "even if the mother is wrong, it is also connived by the children's ministers. Please give the father a clear lesson. If you want to punish the mother, please let the children's ministers be punished together!"

The emperor glanced at him coldly. He didn't want to listen to him and didn't bother to look at him.

Among many princes, Xiling zijue is the last one he wants to spoil. Even though he is his direct son and the best and most suitable one among many princes, he still doesn't like it. It's not annoying. It's just that under the extreme spoil of the queen and the empress dowager, he has a sense of boredom in his heart. But this is also a small matter. The most important thing is to look at it He, like seeing himself in his youth, reminds people of some wrong things he did in his youth.

However, Xiling zijue is much smarter than he thought. He can hardly leave anything to do, which makes him even more annoying. How can people like someone who can surpass his own intelligence, even his own son?

The emperor's cold and unfeeling eyes at Ziling Jue finally stimulated the queen at this time. The Queen almost collapsed. She grabbed the emperor's sleeve tightly and cried, "Your Majesty, your majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. It's all the fault of his concubines and mine. Don't be angry with him and don't hate him..."

"The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Since he said so himself, I will naturally fulfill him!" the emperor almost spared no mercy, brushed away the queen and held his hand tightly.

The queen was already kneeling with soft legs. When pushed by the emperor, the whole person stumbled back and fell to the ground. She didn't expect that her majesty, who had always respected her, would have such a cold and terrible moment. She was desperate and there was no way to recover

"Xiling zijue, because he poisoned and framed his brother, temporarily abolished the crown prince. He thought about it against the wall. He was not allowed to leave without instructions!"

The emperor's cold words resounded through the main hall of the palace. No one thought that the emperor made such a decision, and this decision actually protected his queen.

However, at this time, the Queen's originally miserable and desperate face suddenly showed a trace of madness and ferocity. Her body trembled gently and clenched her teeth. The whole person became something wrong.

"My son obeys my orders!" Ziling zijue finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father finally chose to protect his mother. Although his father has always hated himself, he still understood his pains and did not make a choice to disappoint him.

However, what Xiling zijue didn't expect was that just when he thought the matter had been solved, the queen suddenly lost her voice and screamed, and then frantically rushed to the emperor on her side, followed by a "hiss" sound

Xiling zijue suddenly widened his eyes. The whole person suddenly rose up and wanted to save the situation, but it was too late.

Nalanjong's hand did not know when a dagger appeared and stabbed the emperor in the abdomen.

No one expected that the queen would do such a behavior. Her eyes were somewhat stagnant. The dagger in her hand was inserted into the emperor's body, and her body was splashed with blood. The tears on her face were not dry, but there was no emotion in her eyes. She looked stagnant and slowly turned to look at Xiling zijue, saying: "Jue'er, from today on, you will be the emperor of Xiling."

Xiling zijue's eyes were full of incredible color. His face was instantly pale. He staggered back two steps and sat down on the ground.

Look at the emperor, he has a river of blood, and there is no chance to live.

He was afraid that in any case, he could not imagine that he would be killed by the closest person around him, and he was the one he wanted to protect most. In order to protect her, he finally died. It's ironic and terrible

The queen was stunned to see what she had done. The whole person was stunned. The dagger in her hand fell to the ground. She couldn't imagine that she actually killed someone, and this man was still the emperor, her husband and the man she loved most in her life

"Your Majesty... You wait for my concubine... My concubine will accompany you now..."

The queen said quietly. Her bloody hands trembled, picked up the dagger on the ground and aimed it at her body.

However, just as she was about to stab down and understand all this, suddenly a haggard hand gripped her.

The queen was surprised and suddenly looked up, but saw the emperor's resolute face. At the moment, it was a gray color, and the blue gray face was no longer angry. However, his eyes were still as deep as ever, so people couldn't see what was thinking in his heart.

"Rong'er... I order you... To live..." the emperor stared at her and said hard, "take good care of... Xiao Xi..."

As soon as he closed his eyes, there was no more movement.

The queen was stunned and didn't respond to what Xiao Xi meant. However, the next moment, the tears she thought had dried burst into her eyes again, and then she collapsed and cried like a child.

After many years, her dream child... Was pregnant again at this time... However... She had no father early... In that case, what's the point of her wanting this child
