The emperor was completely furious.

Originally, he was thinking about protecting these two people.

Shen Wanwan complained in her heart: [This emperor can go be Groundhog Number Two! ]

The system also interrupted at this time: [Host, compared to this matter, I am more interested in Xie Jingchuan. He knew it as soon as we found the body. Don’t you think this is too coincidental? ]

When Shen Wanwan heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She secretly looked up at Xie Jingchuan, wondering in her heart: Did he discover something? Could he have seen through it?

Then, Shen Wanwan tried to defend herself: [He is from this palace, it is normal for him to know there is a dry well, I think there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, the imperial guards searched the entire palace, the only place where someone could be hiding is the dry well! ]

The system seemed to be convinced by Shen Wanwan's words and responded: [Host, what you said makes sense. ]

At this time, Xie Jingchuan thought silently in his heart: Fortunately, this girl’s mind is not so clear all the time, otherwise it would be hard to explain.

"Your Majesty..." After being silent for a long time, the queen finally spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the emperor in a cold voice: "Queen, I am tired of your sweet talk. Please don't treat me as a fool!"

The queen was frightened by the emperor's words and lowered her head in grievance.

She thought to herself: Didn't you ask me to defend myself? Why are you saying now that I'm tired of hearing it?

The emperor looked at Xie Zhuoyu coldly, his voice without a trace of emotion: "Seventh Prince, you have taken human life lightly. From now on, you will be confined to the Palace of Regret. You are not allowed to go out without my permission!"

When the queen heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Your Majesty, please be merciful and give Yu'er another chance. I promise that I will teach Yu'er well!"

She knew what the Hall of Regret was. The princes and princesses who came out of there were either crazy or stupid, which was the same as the cold palace.

Her child must never go to that place!

However, the emperor's order had been issued and could not be changed.

He went on to say, "The queen has failed to educate her children properly. She is confined to her bedroom, fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures to repent for the deaths of these palace maids! All matters in the harem will be temporarily handed over to Concubine Lian to handle!"

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the queen, equivalent to deposing her.

She could not accept this fact and cried, "Your Majesty, don't... Your Majesty, don't!" She tried to hug the emperor's legs and wail, but was ruthlessly pushed away by the emperor.

After the emperor dealt with all these matters, he turned his gaze to Shen Wanwan: "Shen Wanwan, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, broke into the palace privately, but fortunately she was also the whistleblower of this matter, so let's offset her merits and demerits!"

Finally, the emperor looked at Xie Yunxiao and said, "Since the twelfth prince has been wrongly accused, he should return to the palace today and resume his studies!"

After dealing with this group of people, everyone shouted "Farewell, Your Majesty", and the sound completely drowned out the Queen's wails.

The emperor's order was hard to disobey. Even though the queen was reluctant, she was eventually forcibly pulled apart by the imperial guards and dragged to the Hall of Regret.

The queen stumbled along.

The moment the door of the Hall of Repentance closes.

The queen followed closely and knocked on the door hard, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"How dare you! You actually won't let me in! You have the guts!" the queen shouted angrily.

However, the guards were not afraid at all at this moment: "Empress, as long as you enter this palace, no matter which prince or princess you are, you will be treated the same. Empress, you should return to your bedroom and reflect on your mistakes!"

Inside, Xie Zhuoyu's wailing continued. The sound was shrill and desperate, echoing in the empty Hall of Repentance, making people's heart palpitate.

The queen stood outside the palace, listening to her son's wailing, and a wave of heartache surged in her heart.

She has always loved Xie Zhuoyu the most, and she really couldn't just leave him there and do nothing.

He could only forcibly call the eunuch in charge of the Hall of Repentance to come out and answer the question.

“Replying to the Queen, the Seventh Prince rolled on the ground in pain as soon as he entered. I have already asked the imperial physician to check on him…” The eunuch’s voice trembled slightly, as if he was hiding something.

"You little dog slave, stop hesitating and speak quickly!" The Queen was so anxious!

Seeing this, the eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and lean over to the queen's ear and whisper, "It is said that after the seventh prince... I am afraid that he can no longer... have sex..."

After hearing this, the queen suddenly felt dizzy, her eyes went blank, and she almost couldn't breathe.

She could never have imagined that her son would end up like this.

The Seventh Prince, who was once proud and high-spirited, has now become a useless person. How can she accept this?

"You...you are so bold to talk nonsense!" the queen shouted angrily, her voice trembling a little.

The eunuch was so frightened when he saw this that he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Everything I said is true. I dare not lie to you!"

But the queen could no longer hear anything. She only felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if someone had stabbed her hard.

Upon seeing this, the eunuch hurriedly ran into the Hall of Repentance.

As long as she runs fast, the voice behind her will not be able to catch up with her!

But the Seventh Prince is indeed pitiful. Although he is a prince, his life after this...

There is no difference between them and the eunuchs.

-

Xie Jingchuan had a dark face. He pulled Shen Wanwan along without saying a word and stuffed her into the carriage roughly.

Shen Wanwan was frightened by his sudden and violent behavior. She looked at him in confusion, wondering if this man was crazy.

However, the system is so happy that it is almost setting off fireworks.

It jumped excitedly in Shen Wanwan's mind: [Host, do you think he is angry? Are you finally going to die? Have you thought about what posture you want to strike when you die? ]

Shen Wanwan was in a dilemma, but she had to respond to the system: [Tongtong, what could make him more angry at this time? Xie Yunxiao is in the palace, and there is no one to start the fire! ]

System, [Host, it's already this time, don't think about relying on others, you have to learn to find death topics in yourself! ]

Before Shen Wanwan had time to think about the topic of seeking death, Xie Jingchuan's slender fingers had already pinched her neck.

She was pinched by Xie Jingchuan and fell back on the seat, unable to move.

Xie Jingchuan knelt on one knee in front of Shen Wanwan, his eyes colder than the cold winter.

System: [Here he comes! Here he comes! He’s coming! ]

Shen Wanwan: [I'm ready, my fried chicken burger, I'm back!!]

He said word by word: "Shen Wanwan, did I say that I would confine you to the Lanyue Courtyard? Who allowed you to enter the palace without knowing the consequences?!"

His voice was icy cold, and every word seemed to carry a sharp blade, as if it would swallow Shen Wanwan whole in the next second.
