The corners of Ziyi's mouth twitched slightly, this- no matter how you look at it, it can't be considered a small punishment, right? And it is obvious that there is a suspicion that this emperor is deliberately finding fault.

"Ah—yes, and the jailers. Although the person is dead, but the corpse is not known if it was taken away by a wild dog, you don't have to deal with these corpses, concubine. ”

At this moment, Ziyi not only twitched the corners of her mouth, but her face was already full of black lines.

How dark is this man in front of him? Where did the wild dogs come from in this deep palace compound! It was clearly that he ordered someone to take the corpses of those people and feed them to the dogs, right?

"Okay, have you thought about it, this Xu Wanqing, what should I do with my concubine?"

As soon as the conversation changed, Duanmu Xun brought the topic back to Xu Wanqing.

"This--since I can't believe what you say about her, can you tell me what happened back then?" Ziyi frowned slightly, she knew that Duanmu Xun would definitely not imprison Xu Wanqing for no reason.

But when she thought of the thin and sloppy person in the prison, Ziyi really couldn't think of any need for her to deceive herself.

"If I sue Concubine Ai, she herself was sent to me by the [Harmony] Party of the Prince of the Old Dynasty, with the intention of poisoning me and forcing my father to appoint the son of the Prince of the Old Dynasty as the new prince, would you believe it?"

"How is that possible! Not to mention that she didn't hurt you at all! Even if it harms you, isn't there still Duanmuqi? Why can't it be the son of the prince of the old dynasty to be the emperor?! ”

"Look, you really don't believe me." Duanmu Xun spread his hands and said that he was very innocent, "Concubine Ai really would rather believe in the world than me......"

"Nope! No...... However, how do you know that she harmed you, isn't it someone else pretending? Your disguise technique is so powerful......" Ziyi shook his hand in a panic.

Standing up, Kaoru Duanki walked to the door and gently pushed the door open. The sky outside the window was a little overcast, and there was no moon. It's almost autumn, and there's a slight coolness in the wind.

"How can people who get along day and night admit their mistakes......" seemed to answer Ziyi's question, and seemed to be talking to himself, Duanmu Kaoru just raised his head and stared at the dark sky in a daze.

It was a time to look back on.

It's a past that he thought he would never have the courage to remember in his life—

It was the eighth day of June, the birthday of the emperor. There are rumors in the palace that the crown princess wanders around the palace at night and sets up altars.

The emperor asked him for questioning, and he was also sick all day long because he was unwell. He clearly remembered that it was one of the few times the emperor had a night conversation with him.

At that time, he loved her, believed in her, and swore that the crown princess would never do anything that insulted the royal family and harmed the interests of the royal family.

Even if he personally saw her worship the prince of the old dynasty, he still believed that she had been wronged.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has always been arrogant and uninhibited, went to work seriously for the first time to clear his grievances for the crown princess, but the result of the investigation -

"Hehe, she adds a light amount of Gu Zhai Powder to my meals every day, which is not very toxic, but the toxin is difficult to excrete in the human body, and over time, it will become a deadly poison. People who have been affected will gradually become drowsy all day long, unable to lift their spirits for anything, and then the symptoms will be like having a chill. ”

"You ......"

Looking at Duanmu Xun's back, Ziyi felt distressed for a moment.
