After King Alcohol finished speaking, the entire hall was silent, only an old sigh was heard, and the empress said lightly: "Although I have been in this deep palace for many years, step by step until now, I have a clear conscience about Concubine Shu."

Seeing this, King Alcohol's eyes were red, his eyes stared at the boss and stared at the empress above, knowing that this pile of mouths was enough to cure him for a capital crime that could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, so he just said in a broken jar: "You are the empress high, your majesty is high, you ascended to this throne, didn't you also step on the blood of many people." Oh, even your most favored Jinxuan Si Qing Shangguan Wan, isn't their family also under your order, the house should be raided, and the exile should be exiled? ”

As the sun set, the lights in the hall were gradually lit, and Shangguan Wan just said to King Alcohol: "His Royal Highness King Alcohol is now not going to bite Xiaguan." His Royal Highness sent people to disguise themselves as Yun Gang members to sell illicit salt, and those people had already confessed that they were from Jizhou. Even the Assassins who obey you are from Jizhou, which is strange. ”

As soon as Shangguan Wan finished speaking, Song Lin and Lin Cong, who were kneeling below, began to cry bitterly and shouted: "Your Majesty, Weichen is your hand, and the enclosure cases and exploitation of the people in Jizhou and other Jizhou are actually the biggest beneficiary behind it, His Royal Highness the King of Alcohol!" Weichen was forced to speak out! ”

Seeing that the matter had been exposed, King Alcohol didn't intend to defend himself, but just said fiercely: "Your Majesty, even if you have Jinxuansi, even if you have a lot of eyeliner, you can't prevent people's hearts!" Hahahaha, in addition to the incident in Jizhou that is related to me, do you know that King Yue rebelled, and I was also involved! I only hate why the palace didn't poison you at that time! You have avoided all of this, but there will be more and more things in the future, more and more, and one day you will be unable to prevent it. When a woman is in power, how many people who should not have moved the emperor's mind have moved. When it comes to the end, I just want you to tell me why my mother died. ”

The hall was brightly lit, and the foreheads of the kneeling people were tightly pressed to the ground, and after a while, the empress said: "Concubine Shu's death was done by the first emperor."

Everyone was incredulous, and the alcohol king was even more shocked and couldn't say a word.

The empress then said: "Several concubines had miscarriages back then, all of which were related to Concubine Shu, but they were blamed by Concubine Shu one by one to Queen Wang, at that time Queen Wang and she were the same enemy, and after Queen Wang was rejected by the first emperor, Concubine Shu collected the wrong things that Queen Wang had done over the years, just to protect herself from being implicated. But the first emperor was the most disgusted person in his life. So secretly gave her every meal chronic medicine. ”

The alcohol king could not make a sound, like a fish in his throat. In the end, he tried his best to make an extremely hoarse voice: "Then why didn't the doctor report it?" Could it be that my mother's body is so unwell that there is no doctor to treat her? ”

The empress sneered: "The one with the highest power is the first emperor, do you think he wants anyone to die, can the Tai Hospital not notice any movement?" The doctors in the Tai Hospital are all medical experts, can't they see the poisoning? ”

The Alcohol King's head hung down, and he just muttered to himself, "This can't be, it's impossible." ”

The empress said to King Alcohol: "Actually, I asked people to find out these things, not to confront you, nor to make you believe. It's just that these sins are enough to punish you with a capital offense. Just now you said that you also have something to do with King Yue, so let's detain it first, there are too many things in these days, and I am also lacking, so you can retreat, these people Wei Ru and Ji Heng will look at the trial. Wan'er, serve me and rest. ”

Everyone agreed and retired, King Yin glanced at Shangguan Wan, Shangguan Wan bowed slightly, and helped the empress into the dormitory. Qi Xin brought a basin of water, and Shangguan Wan personally served the empress to wash.

The empress removed the pearls and emeralds on her head, the windows were not closed tightly, the wind blew in, the veils of the dormitory swayed everywhere with the wind, and there were only the empress and Shangguan Wan in the dormitory. Shangguan Wan was about to turn around and close the window, but the empress took her hand. looked directly into her eyes: "Wan'er, you've worked hard these days." ”

Shangguan Wan knelt down and replied: "It is the honor of subordinates to be loyal to His Majesty. ”

The empress helped her up but only whispered: "In this Chang'an, in this imperial city, it seems that everyone can't help themselves, but there are some things that can be done, sometimes it is better to push the boat down the river and help yourself achieve what you want." You're cautious, you're smart and shrewd, and I don't want you to get into these things, but it's too hard. ”

Shangguan Wan nodded. The empress had tears in her eyes: "Back then, the first emperor and I overcame all the way, I gave birth to children for him and gave him advice." But in the end, he still failed me and never believed in me again. Wan'er, I never tell Wu Changning in front of others, the first emperor had a dislike for her and me, and I didn't bother to explain, do you know why? ”

Shangguan Wan shook her head: "Xiaguan is stupid"

The empress laughed: "I had the talent to govern the country back then, and I didn't bother to put my mind on the twists and turns of the harem, she and Qian Tianheng I also deliberately let them develop freely, and the fetus in her womb was Qian Tianheng's, I already knew." But she thinks she's smart and takes everyone for fools. She thought she could tell the story with that mouth. Her personal maid Rong Xiu has long been my person, she walks the news, she wants to frame me, she is pregnant, she wants to use the fetus in her womb to bring me down, I know it. And I didn't move, I just ordered someone to put a few more strong and blood-invigorating drugs in the medicine she grabbed from the Tai Hospital. Since she wanted to bring me down, then I pushed the boat down the river and used her own stratagem to end her life. This is self-inflicted. ”

Shangguan Wan seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, and there was no expression of surprise, and the empress then asked her, "Aren't you surprised by this?" ”

Shangguan Wancai replied: "Who Your Majesty wants to get rid of is Your Majesty's freedom. Weichen didn't dare to say anything. ”

The Empress smiled. "In the palace, in the court, everyone is ill-intentioned, no one can be gullible, Wan'er, you can remember."

After Shangguan Wan waited for the empress to sleep, she never came out of the Yang Palace.

King Yin was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw her come out, he walked to the gate of the palace.

After the two of them left the palace, King Yin said: "It's over, Yu Xingtian can also be released, I still have to thank you for this trip to Dengzhou." ”

Shangguan Wan bowed her head slightly and said lightly: "This matter seems to be over, but I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the follow-up, the case of Jizhou and King Yue in front of me can be related to King Alcohol, I don't know if there will be another menacing thing in the future, it doesn't seem to matter, but it feels like a serial set." ”

King Yin nodded.

King Yin was about to get on his horse and return to his house, but Shangguan Wan said to him: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there is a black hand behind us that we can't see, stirring up the storm." ”

King Yin got on his horse and said to Shangguan Wan below: "It's okay, no matter what the wind and clouds are, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and this king has said that he will protect you." In this Chang'an City, as long as there is King Yin in one day, no one will bully you. With that, he sped away.

Shangguan Wan also got on the horse and went to Jinxuansi.

On the horse, she remembered the empress's words, and only felt that people's hearts were unpredictable, in this imperial city, everyone is a thousand faces. Who would have thought that Wu Changning's bowl of medicine for herself would be pushed to kill her.
