After Shen Xianhe was sent to the prison, Chu Xi hurriedly called the imperial doctor, and after the imperial doctor checked the pulse, he got that the empress dowager only fainted after being stimulated by this succession, and it was no big deal, just need to rest in bed for a few days.

After Chu Xi put his mind at ease, he ordered the palace people to send the empress dowager back, and when he saw the empress dowager Sun who was still lying on the ground and was dead, his heart was like a knife, and he watched the queen mother die in front of him, but he couldn't avenge her by slashing the murderer on the spot, and self-blame, anger and sadness surged into his heart for a while.

Tears also slipped down, he held back the sadness in his heart, walked to the body of the Empress Dowager Sun step by step, knelt down and reached out to close her eyes.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, I will definitely avenge you, and I will definitely kill Shen Xianhe to worship your spirit in the sky, but I have wronged you for now."

After saying this, he slowly closed his eyes, let the tears slide down in large numbers, the hand on his side was also clenched into a fist, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, and after a while, he opened his eyes violently, gritted his teeth and commanded the palace people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Come here, spread my will, Shen Xianhe, the daughter of the eldest princess, killed the queen mother by mistake, and has been deprived of her title and sent to the heavenly prison, waiting to be sent down, the goddaughter of the Guogong Mansion has no way, and she should be punished by the nine clans, but Nian has dedicated her great achievements to the Daqing Dynasty in the eldest princess and the Guogong Mansion, and removed the Guogong Mansion family from the clan, deprived of the title, and demoted to a commoner."

Although Chu Xi also fulfilled his long-standing wish because of the death of Empress Dowager Sun, who removed the Shen Mansion, he was not happy at all, because this price was too painful for him.

"Someone comes, carry the Queen Mother in to freshen up, announce to the world, ring the death knell, and mourn."

The eunuchs and palace maids who were kneeling around hurriedly got up and carried the Queen Mother in.

Chen Han slowly walked to Chu Xi, who was still kneeling in place.

"Your Majesty, the mourning is smooth, the Queen Mother and her old man don't want you to be like this, you have to cheer up, there are still many things you need to deal with, and you can avenge her."

Hearing this, Chu Xi slowly raised his head to look at him, without saying a word, but his eyes swept to the location where Shen Xianhe was before, and when he saw the black beads that were still left on the ground, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his eyes looking at Chen Han were full of disbelief.

"Did you do it?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Can't you understand? ”

Regarding Chu Xi's sudden clueless sentence, Chen Han also felt inexplicable.

Chu Xi got up suddenly, grabbed his neck, and pressed him against the wall with great force, his eyes turned scarlet.

"Don't pretend, you're doing the right thing, aren't you?"

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, I really don't know what you're talking about? ”

Chen Han, who was grabbed by Chu Xi's neck, turned red, and the whole person was angry.

"Still pretending to be stupid, don't you really know what I'm talking about? Then I will tell you plainly that Shen Xianhe was drugged by my mother, and after fighting with me for so long, he has long become exhausted, how can he kill his mother, it was you who scattered those beads at her feet when everyone was not paying attention, and let her kill her mother by mistake, right? I also know what you're doing this for? I also know that you are helping me, but no matter how much I want to get rid of the Shen family, I will not exchange the life of the queen mother, I would rather take more detours and waste a little more time than lose the queen mother, don't you understand? ”

"Your Majesty...... You listen to the minister's explanation, the minister really didn't, how dare the minister, that is the queen mother, is your queen mother, how can the minister do such a big and unrighteous wrong thing, Your Majesty, think about it carefully, if it was really the minister who did it, then why did the minister leave such obvious evidence for others to find? You suspect the minister, and the minister understands, after all, judging from everyone just now, the minister is the best one in it, the most suspicious one, but Your Majesty, you have to believe the minister, it's really not the minister, if the minister does it, he will dispose of these beads cleanly, and it is impossible to let these things stay here and wait for others to find out. ”

"It's really not you? Who would that be? ”

After listening to Chen Han's explanation, Chu Xi slowly calmed down, his eyes were full of doubts, and his hand slowly let go.

"Ahem...... Your Majesty, it's really not a minister, but the minister will definitely find out the truth. ”

After being let go by Chu Xi, Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief, he had fooled him over, otherwise, the emperor who knew the truth would definitely let his body be in a different place today.

Finally had such a good opportunity, how could he not seize it, this is a situation where the death of a queen mother can make the Shen Mansion fall and the eldest princess collapse, even if he risks being discovered, he will definitely take action, but fortunately, although the emperor is suspicious, there is no evidence that he did it.

Chu Xi glanced at Chen Han thoughtfully.

"It's better that you are innocent as you said, otherwise, I will not let you go easily, and this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, find out the truth, and catch the real murderer."

"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely find out the truth and return the minister's innocence."

"It's better to be like this."

After speaking, Chu Xi walked outside.

After the envoy appeared in the Guogong Mansion with the emperor's decree and read the decree, everyone was shocked by this sudden change, no one dared to believe that Shen Xianhe would do such a rebellious thing, but unfortunately, although they didn't dare to believe it, the holy decree was clearly written, and they couldn't believe it or not.

After the eldest princess listened to this holy decree, she snatched the holy decree in the hand of the envoy in disbelief to check, and after seeing the clear handwriting on it, she took a few steps back a little unbearably and was about to fall to the ground, when Shen Wenliu, who was quick in his eyes, supported her from behind, so as to avoid the accident of falling.

"Are you alright?"

After the eldest princess turned around and saw that it was Shen Wenliu, she slowly shook her head at her.

"The person was killed by Shen Xianhe, if you want to kill her, kill her, why do we even have to suffer from this strain?"

Shen Yu, Zhu Xin was unwilling to speak first, she finally returned to the Guogong Mansion, and it didn't take long for the Guogong Mansion to be demoted to a civilian because of Shen Xianhe, how could she not be angry.

"Woo...... It's just ...... It's not our ...... to kill the Queen Mother. ”

The sixth young master, Shen Chengxin, also cried and echoed.

In normal times, in front of the eldest princess, Mrs. Tai and Grandpa Guo would have spoken out to stop it, but now, because of Shen Xianhe, she hated it to death in her heart, how could she speak, so she kept a cold face and let them speak.

"Yes...... This harmful spirit, she is crazy, she dared to kill the Queen Mother, she really doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, but why should she implicate us ....... ”

Shen Yuxin couldn't help but speak.

Just when they began to slander Shen Xianhe, the eldest princess held back the discomfort of her body and got up from Shen Wenliu's arms with anger.

"Shut up, the envoy sent by the emperor is still here, isn't it shameful enough to chew the root of his tongue like this?"

"But ......."

"Shut up."

"If you dare to talk nonsense, I will not spare it."

Shen Yu, who still wanted to say something, Zhu had to shut up unwillingly.

"Father-in-law, please wait a while, I will go into the palace with you to see Your Majesty."

"Eldest princess, please do it."

After nodding to the envoy, the eldest princess turned to look at Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Tai.

"Although the emperor has made such a will, what exactly happened? Everyone doesn't know, so I'll go to the palace to see what's going on, and I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

Although the emperor angrily reprimanded the goddaughters of the Guogong Mansion in the holy decree, deprived them of the title of the Guogong Mansion, and demoted them to commoners, the holy decree did not say what about the eldest princess? Therefore, although Grandpa Guo was also full of anger towards Shen Xianhe in his heart, because of the eldest princess, he still endured it and put all his hopes on him.

"Well, don't worry, everything will wait for you to come back."

After the eldest princess nodded to the grandfather of the country, she hurriedly followed the envoy into the palace to see the emperor.

"Eldest princess, the servant has already informed Your Majesty of the news of your request, but Your Majesty is busy dealing with the funeral of the Queen Mother at this time, let you go back first, and when you are done, he will summon you."

"You go and tell the emperor that no matter what today, I must see him, it doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll wait here for him to finish."

The eldest princess was not surprised at all when the emperor avoided seeing her, and when such a thing happened, the emperor was naturally angry in his heart, and he was clear about the purpose of her coming.

Seeing that the eldest princess was so insistent, the eunuch had no choice but to continue to convey her meaning to the emperor.

Chu Xi, who was kneeling in front of the Empress Dowager Sun's mourning hall, sneered when he heard this.

"If she wants to wait, let her wait."

In this way, the eldest princess waited from day to night, and Chu Xi never appeared.

These days, the toxin has invaded her internal organs, and she can clearly feel that her time is running out, and she is still thinking about how to say goodbye to Xianhe Dao, but she didn't expect that such a thing happened, which disrupted her plans and made her at a loss.

In the middle of the night, the eldest princess, who was already weak, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and the person also staggered and fell to the ground.

When the palace maid who was guarding the side saw it, she hurriedly helped her up.

"Eldest Princess, what's wrong with you? The slave maid asked people to pass on the imperial doctor. ”

"No, I'm fine."

"But you vomited blood?"

"If I say it's okay, it's okay."

The eldest princess took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Chu Xi, who had already returned to the imperial study from the Empress Dowager's mourning hall, finished processing the last note, looked out the window and saw that it had become dark, and then asked the eunuch beside him.

"Is the eldest princess back?"

"Back to Your Majesty, people are still in the palace, saying that I have to see you today."

"This aunt of mine is really persistent, since she has to see me, then let's see me, anyway, it is nothing more than begging me to let Shen Xianhe go."
