The emperor looked at Concubine Ji and Concubine Xiang gloomily: "What else do you have to say now?"

Concubine Xiang's face was as white as paper, knowing that there was no room for turning things around. She immediately understood what to do to get the best result, and hurriedly crawled towards the emperor:

"Your Majesty, I am wrong. It was the Queen Mother who forced me to do it. If I don't do what she said, she will send people to kill my parents and brothers. I know that my sin is serious and I dare not beg for mercy."

, but my concubine’s family is innocent. Please save them, please, the emperor.”

Concubine Ji also came to her senses. As a woman who had been favored by the emperor, she clearly understood how to save her family and immediately begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, everything was forced by the queen mother on her concubines. There is no immunity medal, it is the ministers

I have slandered the concubine Yangshi, and I beg the emperor to save my family.”

Hearing these words, the expressions of the clan members and ministers present changed again and again.

The emperor's face is much prettier than before.

However, at this moment, an imperial physician hurriedly walked out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid something is wrong with the Queen Mother. She wants to see you and all the ministers."

Hearing this, the emperor immediately looked coldly at the speaking imperial physician.

The imperial doctor felt chills running down his spine, and he suddenly regretted it. He had just seen the emperor being so anxious about the Queen Mother's condition, and thought that the Emperor was very worried about the Queen Mother. As soon as he saw the Queen Mother wake up, he hurriedly ran out.

Thinking that the Queen Mother could no longer speak, the Emperor stood up, selected several clan members and ministers, and entered the Queen Mother's palace together.

As soon as he entered, the emperor met the Queen Mother's stern and unwilling eyes.

Obviously, the Queen Mother heard everything that happened in the main hall.

Thinking that all her plans had failed, the Queen Mother's breathing became rapid again, and she opened her hands and raised them, as if she was going to catch the emperor.

Xiao Yeyang stood beside the emperor, worried that the queen mother had any backup plans, and did not dare to let the emperor get close.

The emperor did not underestimate the dying Queen Mother, and said with pretense of concern: "Queen Mother, take good care of yourself, and I will let the imperial doctors cure you."

The Queen Mother could not speak, she could only scream "Woooo" with her mouth open, and her hands that stayed in the air never put down.

Seeing that the ministers and clan members were watching, Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment and stepped forward to hold the Queen Mother's hand: "Queen Mother, do you have anything to tell me?"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang, the anger in the Queen Mother's eyes became more intense. Whether it was her nephew Jinghui or her eldest brother Cheng Engong, their deaths were inseparable from Xiao Yeyang.

She hates so much that she hates not being able to avenge her brother and nephews and grandnephews!

The Queen Mother's mood swings were so great that she couldn't take a breath and died directly.

Looking at the Queen Mother who was still holding on to Xiao Yeyang with her eyes closed and not letting go, all the clan members and ministers present lowered their heads in silence.

......

The Queen Mother died, one step ahead of the Jiang family who were ordered to be beheaded.

After the news came out of the palace, everyone was shocked and surprised!

No matter how much the emperor dislikes the Queen Mother, as the Queen Mother's legitimate mother, he still has to do the things she faces, and she has to do them well and do them impeccably.

The emperor left the funeral of the Queen Mother to the Queen.

The Jiang family was ransacked and interrogated, but the emperor did not blame the queen. It was not that he loved the queen, but that he did not want to break the situation in the harem.

White flags were quickly hung in the palace.

Qianqing Palace.

Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang into the hall and took the initiative to hand the death-free gold medal to Mr. An.

The emperor took the death-free gold medal from Eunuch An and looked at Daohua curiously: "Where are you hiding?"

Daohua smiled and said: "The commander of the Jinling Guards borrowed the dog Xiaoyi. Xiaoyi happened to be at Cining Palace today, so I asked Xiaoyi to hold the gold medal in his mouth."

Hearing this, the emperor's face became slightly stiff and he quickly threw the gold medal on the table.

In order to eliminate the influence of the Queen Mother and the Jiang family in the palace, Xue Xiangchen borrowed Yeyang's hunting dogs, which he knew about.

"You are cunning."

Daohua smiled and said nothing.

At the same time, in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the Chiang family heard that the Queen Mother was dead, and the remaining hope in their hearts was gone.

The next day, everyone was taken to the vegetable market with numb faces.

Moments before the interrogation, the Jiang family seemed to have discussed it long ago and shouted miserably at the people who came to watch the execution: "The Queen Mother was killed by the Emperor. The Emperor was disrespectful, unfilial, unkind, and unkind. The righteous tyrant."

When the executioner heard this, his face changed with fright, and he quickly signaled to the executioner to carry out the execution.

In just a short time, the entire Jiang family was killed.

The Chiang family is dead, but the cry of the Chiang family before their death was widely circulated among the people.

After Daohua and Xiao Yeyang sent Gu Jian back to Four Seasons Villa, they returned to the palace, changed into mourning clothes, and followed Prince Ping into the palace to mourn for the Queen Mother.

On the way into the palace, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang heard many people talking about the fact that the Queen Mother was killed by the Emperor.

Xiao Yeyang frowned: "The Jiang family really won't stop even after they die."

Daohua: "If this discussion continues, it will be very detrimental to Uncle Huang's reputation and dignity."

After the two entered the palace, they noticed that many officials and female family members were also talking in low voices. Obviously, not only the common people believed the Jiang family's words, but also the officials began to have doubts.

The Queen Mother passed away, and the Emperor stayed away from court for three days.

On the fourth day, I went to court normally.

Before Xiao Yeyang went out, he looked back at the rice flowers for a while.

Daohua guessed what he might do and said with a smile: "No matter what you do, I will support you and accompany you."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, turned back and hugged Daohua vigorously, and then strode out of the room.

Watching his leaving figure, Daohua felt a little worried.

Nowadays, there are a lot of discussions in the court and outside the court about the death of the Queen Mother. The reputation of the Emperor cannot be damaged. Xiao Yeyang was at the scene when the Queen Mother died. I am afraid that he will take the blame.

In the morning, all the officials were silent, and all the party members and forces were silently communicating with each other with their eyes.

After a while, Censor Zeng, who had a reputation for being upright, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to read a copy of Xiao Yeyang, the eldest son of Prince Ping's Mansion."

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, glanced at his nephew, and said, "Why does Aiqing want to interfere with him?"

Zeng Yushi: "Xiao Yeyang was so angry that she killed the Queen Mother. Her crime is unforgivable. Please punish her."

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the court.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Yushi Zeng angrily: "Master Zeng, when did I offend you, and you want to slander me like this?"

Zeng Yushi looked upright: "Your Majesty, we all know the Queen Mother's attitude towards Xiao Yeyang, but when the Queen Mother was seriously ill, he deliberately stepped forward to anger the Queen Mother, and he was so angry that she died."

"Yang Shoufu, Prince Yong, Governor Wu and other adults who were at the scene on the day of this matter all knew about it. The minister did not accuse Xiao Yeyang unjustly."

The adults who were named felt convulsed in their hearts. They looked at the silent emperor and then at Xiao Yeyang, who was full of anger. The old foxes suddenly understood.

Yang Chenghua was the first to echo Zeng Yushi's words: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zeng said is true. If Xiao Yeyang hadn't come to the Queen Mother that day, the Queen Mother might not have been in trouble."

Prince Yong glanced at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Xiao Yeyang may indeed have angered the Queen Mother that day, but the Queen Mother herself was very ill, so we cannot blame him entirely."

Several other adults present also expressed their opinions. In their words, they all affirmed that the Queen Mother's death was due to Xiao Yeyang's anger, but he could not be entirely blamed.

Those who can go to court are all human beings, and they all ask for help: "I beg the emperor to severely punish Xiao Yeyang, thinking that the Queen Mother is in heaven."

The eldest princes looked at Xiao Yeyang. They were jealous of him before, but now they sympathize with him.
