Time travel! The little princess came down the mountain and made a scene in the palace

Soon the imperial guards arrived at the Queen's bedroom, and the maid shouted angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to come to the Queen's bedroom to search."

Fu Xin watched Imperial Physician Xu taking the empress's pulse and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for the offense. I was only following your orders. Please forgive me."

"The Emperor's order?"

"Yes."

"Search! If you can't find anything here, Commander Fu will give me an explanation later."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

"Search carefully."

"Yes."

Several people rummaged through the queen's bedroom as if they were ransacking the house.

"Commander Fu, are you, the Imperial Guards, confiscating the house or searching the palace?"

"Mammy, since we are searching the palace, we can't miss any place, lest we miss any."

Seeing that something was not right, Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly prescribed medicine for the Queen and left quickly.

The queen said weakly, "Mammy, let him search!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon the Royal Guards found the puppet in the closet and handed it to Fu Xin.

"Commander, look."

When the nanny and the queen saw what the royal guards had brought, they were dumbfounded and got up in a hurry without caring about their discomfort.

"This thing does not belong to me. Someone must have falsely accused me of putting this ominous thing in my closet."

She pointed at the maid and yelled: "Did you frame me? Once I find out the truth, I will beat you to death."

The palace maids were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, we are loyal and dedicated to serving you, and we have no second thoughts."

"I see that you are very brave, so you must have put this witchcraft in my closet."

"Who ordered you to frame me? If you don't tell the truth, take him out and beat him to death immediately."

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. This is truly not my fault."

"Queen, let's go! Let's go see the Emperor!"

The queen was so frightened that she was trembling all over, her legs and feet were weak, and she kept muttering: "How could this happen? How could such a thing be here in my palace? Who is trying to frame me?"

"Empress, please don't waste the Emperor's time."

"Why are you urging me? I am still the queen."

"Now is not always the same."

The queen glared at Fu Xin angrily and came to the emperor's hall in panic. Fu Xin handed the puppet to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor was furious when he saw the puppet and roared, "Li, I forbid the use of witchcraft in the palace. As the Empress of the Central Palace, you knowingly violated it. How can I forgive you?"

The queen knelt down hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, this ominous thing is not mine. I don't have it in my palace."

"My Queen, I found the item in your closet."

"The thing is in my closet and it's not mine. It must be a concubine in the harem who framed me. Your Majesty, you must believe me. This thing is really not mine."

The emperor looked at the cloth and said, "Send it to Yang Qingfeng, the head of the Imperial Household Department."

"Yes."

"You keep crying foul, I'm speaking based on facts, I'll see how you can argue when the time comes."

Soon the chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to the main hall and said, "This old servant pays respect to His Majesty."

"Yang Qingfeng, look at what this material is."

He stepped forward and took the cloth to carefully identify it, "Reporting to the emperor, this is this year's Shu brocade. It has just entered the palace and there are only ten pieces. The Queen's palace has received four pieces, and the rest are distributed to several concubines.

"Just check whose Shujin is missing and you will know."

"Old slave obeys the order."

The queen was worried that if something happened to her, the prince and the prime minister's office would also be implicated, and there would be no place for the Li family in Daliang.

She looked at the emperor pitifully, but the emperor was so angry that he didn't even want to look at her.

The chief steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly found out about the Shu brocade and hurried over to report.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I have already checked that all the Shu brocades of the ladies are in place. Only the Queen's palace is missing one piece. The color and pattern match."

"What else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty, we have been married for decades. If you don't believe me, it's useless for me to explain myself."

"Pass on my decree. Empress Li is unworthy of the throne. I have stripped her of her title of empress, demoted her to a commoner and banished her to the cold palace. She is not allowed to leave the cold palace without my permission."

"Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart. I have served you wholeheartedly for many years and managed the six palaces without you having to worry."

"You are so sure that it was my fault because of a puppet. If Shu brocade was lost from my palace, could it not have been stolen by thieves?"

"Who could have entered your queen's palace and stolen things? The lies you made up are not very true."

The Imperial Observatory knelt down hastily and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Let me deal with the witchcraft first before we talk about other things."

"What I am reporting is related to the Queen."

"Tell me one by one."

"Your Majesty, when Concubine Chen gave birth to the third princess, I calculated that it was Ziweixing who gave birth to the third princess. I am preparing to report this to you."

"The Queen ordered someone to threaten me, saying that if I dared to tell others that the Third Princess was a Purple Star, my family of more than a dozen people would be killed. I had no choice but to obey the Queen and lied that the Third Princess was a disaster star.

"The floods in Qingzhou and Yongzhou back then were also caused intentionally by someone."

The emperor was shocked: "Ziweixing, my third princess is Ziweixing, Ziweixing only appears once in a hundred years. This time she came to Wei, which was supposed to bring good luck to Wei, but you persecuted her instead. I can't get my third princess back even if I kill you a thousand times."

"Ms. Li, you are so cruel. You are worse than an animal to attack a newborn child."

"The Concubine Chen has been depressed since she lost the third princess, and her condition has improved since she gave birth to the prince."

"You evil woman, how can you be worthy of being a human being? How can you be worthy of being the mother of a country? I have wasted my years of trust in you."

"Come here, take all the maids and palace maids around Li to the prison for strict interrogation. They must know what evil things Li has done."

"Yes."

Li knelt on the ground and looked at the emperor anxiously. The prince and the third princess came running over.

"Father, please forgive my mother! She has been married to you for more than 20 years. Please forgive her for bearing you children!"

"Shut up, Li is a vicious person who used witchcraft to harm me and my third princess. Such a person deserves death."

"When I investigate this matter, if you are involved, I will punish you severely."

"Your Majesty, I was the only one who did this. It has nothing to do with the Crown Prince or the Fourth Princess. Please sentence me to death!"

"Your death is inevitable. I will find out if anyone else was involved in what happened back then."

"Father... The Third Princess has been dead for many years, but my mother has been with you for more than 20 years. I beg you to spare her life for her hard work even though she has no merits."

"If the Third Princess stands before the Emperor safe and sound, the Emperor will let her go."

"If you dare to plead for this vicious woman again, I will punish you all."

"If the emperor wants to punish someone, just punish me. It has nothing to do with them."

"Mother..."

"You guys hurry back. If your mother does something wrong, she will be punished. Listen to your father's words in the future. Do you understand?"

The fourth princess hugged Li tightly and cried, "Mother...I can't live without you."

"Yao'er, you and your brother the Crown Prince should listen to your father's words from now on. Your mother can no longer protect you. Live a good life from now on. Your mother will bless you in heaven."

"A vicious woman like you should go to the eighteenth level of hell. If you go to heaven, you will only defile it."

Fu Xin came over and handed the results of the interrogation to the emperor.

The emperor was instantly furious when he saw the record and looked fiercely at Li who was kneeling on the ground.

"Evil woman, you have killed several of my children and ordered people to assassinate Hong'er many times. You are not worthy of being a human being."

"Someone take Li away and sentence her to death."

"Yes."

"Pass on my order. Prime Minister Li Zhan has committed a heinous crime for plotting to murder the heir to the throne. I hereby decree that he shall be executed at noon tomorrow. All female members of the family shall be exiled to the northwest, and all boys over ten years old shall be executed. I decree this."

"Yes."

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Princess collapsed to the ground.

"Although the Crown Prince was not involved, Li, as his mother, cannot escape the blame. I depose the Crown Prince and demote him to a prince and confine him in the palace. Without my order, you are not allowed to step out of the palace."

"Father...I have no idea what Mother has done."

"If you knew, it would not be as simple as being demoted to a prince."

"Go back."

"My son, please retire."
