Emperor Yan was talking to the queen when he suddenly heard a palace maid report: "Master, Concubine Xiao and the Crown Princess are asking for a meeting outside the palace!"

Emperor Yan's originally gentle face immediately fell down and said lightly: "No!" Emperor Yan has always been extremely disgusted with Concubine Xiao, but Xiao Huaiyu and Grand Master Xiao were still alive, and Emperor Yan tried his best to be content with it. However, now he knew that the two mountains of the Xiao family had fallen, so he had no good expression to Concubine Xiao.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a crying sound from outside, saying, "Master... I... I just want to ask you to make the decision..." As the crying voices, Concubine Xiao actually pulled the crown princess Xiao Mingmei and broke in from outside.

The emperor suddenly stood up and angrily shouted: "Bold, without my summons, who asked you to break into the palace? The prince has not yet been full of a month, and the queen has not moved to Kunhe Palace. Before that, Changchun. The palace is the Queen's Palace. How dare you trespass into the Queen's Palace?"

Concubine Xiao took Xiao Mingmei to kneel down, looked at Han Shu with resentment, and then said to Emperor Yan: "I know that it is inconsistent to enter the palace because of etiquette, but the emperor did not see me, so I could only break in!"

"What do you want to say?" Emperor Yan's face turned gloomy.

"I ask the emperor to be the master." Concubine Xiao's eyes were red and swollen: "My father was killed. Please ask the emperor to be the master to be the master to avenge his father!"

"I have issued an order to order Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case." Emperor Yan said coldly: "What else do you want me to do?"

"Although Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice received the order, it was useless at all." Concubine Xiao said: "The murderer who killed his father, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are not bad, so the emperor can only make the decision in person!"

Emperor Yan frowned and said, "According to your opinion, you seem to know who the murderer is!"

Concubine Xiao raised her hand, showed a vicious look on her face, and pointed at Han Shu and said sternly: "It's her, it's the Han family who instructed her behind her back. My father was killed by their Han family!"

Han Shu had no expression on her face, and she didn't argue or distinguish.

"Bold!" The emperor shouted in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense in front of me. You accused the Han family of instructors, but have real evidence? In front of me, you cannot allow you to frame others!" He stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Take out evidence. If it is really what the Han family does, I will personally come forward to make the decision for your Xiao family. What about the evidence?"

Concubine Xiao gritted her teeth and looked at Han Shu. Regardless of the emperor's questions, she pointed at Han Shu and asked sternly: "You said, are you killing my father? It's you, right? Do you dare to deny it?"

Xiao Mingmei knelt aside, looking horrified. The face that was already very thin was extremely pale, but also pitiful.

Since he entered the palace, he has now completely changed. The lady's temper has long been washed away by the dark deep palace, and endless loneliness and darkness have accompanied her.

In the Eastern Palace, every day is so deserted that no one talks to her. She is like a walking corpse in the palace, and she has no smile.

"You're crazy!" the emperor said coldly: "Get back!"

Concubine Xiao seemed to be really crazy. Suddenly, she rushed forward, clenched her fists, and was about to hit Han Shu, screaming: "It's you, you vixen, a vicious woman, you killed my father..."

Before she could touch Han Shu, one arm was as if it was wrapped in an iron hoop. The emperor had already held one of her hands and then swung it hard. Concubine Xiao was immediately fell to the ground. Xiao Mingmei hurried forward and sobbed, "Aunt, what's wrong with you?"

The emperor had already shouted: "Come here!"

Two palace guards quickly came in from outside. The emperor pointed at Concubine Xiao and said sternly: "Drag this crazy woman to me and drive her into the cold palace. I... never want to see this crazy woman again..."

The two guards went up ruthlessly and one of them grabbed Concubine Xiao’s arm and wanted to drag it down. Xiao Mingmei had already knelt down and begged, "Master, please spare your aunt..."

The emperor glanced at Xiao Mingmei coldly and said lightly: "You are the crown princess, how can you go crazy with her? You won't go back to the East Palace and stay well!"

Concubine Xiao was already screaming sadly: "Master, don't be fascinated by this vixen on the surface. That's all fake. She is cruel and pretends to be like this, just to make the Majesty pamper her...There is no good thing in the Han family. They kill their father because they want the Han family to dominate the Han family. Sooner or later, the Han family will plan to usurp the throne. Just then, you believe in me. My father was killed by their Han family. The Han family will harm others, and sooner or later, the Majesty will harm you...!"

While she screamed, she was dragged outside the door by two powerful guards from Kong Wu.

When the emperor heard her shouting, he suddenly said, "Stop!" He walked forward a few steps, stood in front of Concubine Xiao, and his eyes were extremely cold and looked at Concubine Xiao.

"Master, you must believe that your father was harmed by the Han family. Sooner or later they will harm the Master..." Seeing the emperor coming, Concubine Xiao thought that his words touched the emperor.

The emperor slowly squatted down, reached out his hand, pinched Concubine Xiao's pointed chin, and sneered: "Your face is still very beautiful..."

Although Concubine Xiao was nearly forty years old, because of her good maintenance, her face was indeed very beautiful and full of the charm of a mature woman. When she heard the emperor say this, she didn't understand what she meant for a while.

"When you entered the palace, I saw you being a little bit tough, but I didn't care." The emperor's expression was extremely cold, and deep in his eyes, there was resentment: "But I didn't expect that under your beautiful face, there was a snake-scorpion heart. You said that the queen's heart was cruel, but I didn't see it, but I always thought that no one in the world had a heart more vicious than you!"

Concubine Xiao suddenly showed a look of horror on her face.

"Don't think that others don't know what you do." The emperor clenched his fists and said coldly: "Do you know that the pain in my heart has not been dissipated for a day in the past ten years. Yes, for ten years, I am afraid of your Xiao family. I can only pretend to be confused and don't know about some things."

Seeing that the emperor's expression was a bit ferocious, Concubine Xiao felt a chill in her heart, and she felt a coldness in her hands and feet.

"I know, you really want to be the queen!" The emperor said slowly, "Do you know, after I ascended the throne, why did I issue an order for ten years not to establish a queen?" He pinched Concubine Xiao's hand with increasing strength, and Concubine Xiao's expression became more and more painful. "This decree is for you. I just don't let you do what you want, don't let your Xiao family do what you want. Don't you want to be the queen? I just want to make you think about it, and you can't get it..." The emperor's face was twisted at this time, quite terrifying. Concubine Xiao felt that her chin was almost crushed by the emperor's hand, but she did not dare to resist. Moreover, the emperor's twisted face made her cold from beginning to toe. She had never seen such a terrifying expression on the emperor's face.

The emperor leaned over and whispered: "I want to ask you today, is it your own intention to poison her back then, or is it that the old fox Xiao asked you to do that?"

Concubine Xiao was shocked.

"If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, do you think no one knows what you do?" The emperor said resentfully: "She just felt a cold at the beginning. You entered her bedroom while I was not in the palace at night and forced her to drink the bowl of poison... At that time, the imperial doctor could not find out that she was poisoned and died, and even I had no doubts. If the little girl hadn't seen everything you did, I was afraid that I wouldn't know until I died that you killed her..."

"Master, I... I don't..." Although Concubine Xiao was pinched and in great pain, she still made a vague explanation.

"You haven't?" the emperor sneered, "You still want to deceive me. That night, the little girl was with her mother in the palace, but when she heard your voice, she was so scared that she hid. I now want to know how you treated my daughter at that time and made her afraid of you? You forced the princess to drink the poison, thinking that she was unaware of it, but the little girl saw it all. The little girl often had nightmares later and told me about this. I didn't believe it because the poison could not be found in the princess's body. It was not until later that I secretly investigated that I knew that your poison had been carefully prepared and could not be tested at all... So I wanted to ask you, did you get this poison yourself, or did someone behind the scenes get it for you?"

Concubine Xiao was already dissatisfied at this time.

When he saw that the late emperor's health was declining and his life was not long, Cao Ding, who was the crown prince, had the possibility of ascending the throne to the emperor at all times. Once he ascended the throne, he would definitely become an empress. Concubine Xiao took the risk and took the opportunity to kill the crown prince's concubine.

But this matter can be said to be extremely secretive. She thought no one knew about it, and for ten years, no one, including the emperor, mentioned it. However, today the emperor suddenly said this matter, which only made her soul scattered and filled with fear that penetrated into her bones.

She didn't expect that this man was so tolerant. He knew that the Crown Princess was harmed by her, but she endured it for ten years.

The emperor's anger seemed to be concentrated on the two fingers that pinched Concubine Xiao's jaw. His face was extremely cold, "But it doesn't matter anymore. Damn... I will die in the end. But don't expect me to make you feel comfortable. I want to let you live and make you... worse than death..." As soon as the words fell, there was only a "click" sound, and his two fingers crushed Concubine Xiao's jaw bones in extremely terrifying. The beautiful face instantly deformed and his jaw shattered. Concubine Xiao screamed and fainted in an instant by severe pain.

The two guards were also shocked when they saw the emperor crushing Concubine Xiao's jaw, and a chill filled their bodies.

Han Shu and Xiao Mingmei were quite far apart and could not hear what the emperor was saying, but when he heard Concubine Xiao’s screams, he saw Concubine Xiao fainting. Han Shu’s pretty face changed slightly, while Xiao Mingmei had already covered her mouth, her face was pale, and she was extremely frightened.

The emperor slowly stood up and said lightly: "Take her to the cold palace and take strict care of her. No one except me is allowed to see you!"

Two imperial guards hurriedly carried Concubine Xiao down.

When the emperor walked back, he saw Xiao Mingmei in great horror and said lightly: "I won't go back to the East Palace yet!"

Xiao Mingmei covered her mouth, lost in despair and frightened, and even forgot to kneel down. She moved her steps and trembled away from Changchun Palace.

Seeing that Han Shu's face was a little pale, the emperor went forward, held Han Shu's hand, and said softly: "Empress, I... are you scaring you? Don't be afraid!"

Seeing that the resentment and anger on the emperor's face had not yet dissipated, Han Shu held the emperor's hand and whispered: "Master, you... take care of the dragon's body!"

The emperor helped Han Shu sit down, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he asked, "Queen, do you believe that crazy woman's words?"

"What?" Han Shu's body was shocked.

The emperor stared at Han Shu gently and said softly: "She said that the death of the Grand Tutor is related to your Han family, and your Han family wants to usurp the throne!"

Han Shu was startled and had already stood up and knelt down and said, "Master, my Han clan is loyal to the Majesty and will never dare to have the slightest disobedience. The death of the Grand Master will never be related to my Han family. Please give me a clear understanding!"

The emperor gently helped Han Shu up, gently stroked Han Shu's smooth and tender face with one hand, and said softly: "I don't believe it either. I only know that the people in the world will not rebel against me. Because the queen is my wife and my son's mother!"
