Xie Yuantang returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion and lay on a recliner. He tilted his head back to stop the bleeding while silently counting the time.

When Bai Fu brought her the heat-reducing tea, she heard her say without any context, "It's two hours."

Bai Fu asked in confusion: "Princess, what do you mean by two hours?"

Xie Yuantang smiled and said, "Nothing, Sister Bai Fu, I want to eat spicy duck head tonight..."

"no!"

Before she could finish, Situ Yan, who had just come over to change her towel, interrupted her and said, "You have a sore throat, you can't eat those."

After that, he turned to Bai Fu and ordered, "Drink soup tonight."

Xie Yuantang couldn't laugh anymore, and pouted: "How about chewing a pig's trotter?"

"I'll chew it, and you smell it."

“I want to eat meat!”

"Wait until you stop having a nosebleed."

"..."

Big Brother Tang raised his head and sighed, a drop of nosebleed really stumped the heroine! The foolish husband even dared to turn against Tian Gang and refused to give her meat to eat!

-

While Xie Yuantang was competing with Situ Yan for control of Rourou, a shocking event happened in the palace!

Queen Jiang killed Queen Mother Jiang!

Just two hours after Xie Yuantang left Jingci Palace, the palace maids watched Queen Jiang come out of the small dark room, enter the Queen Mother's bedroom in the name of visiting her, and sent away the maids and nannies who were accompanying her.

Not long after that, Queen Jiang ran out of the palace in a frenzy, covered in blood, shouting as she ran:

“Ghost! Dead! All dead… Tongues. So many tongues. Aaaaahhh!”

The crazy talk scared everyone so much that they rushed in, only to see that the Queen Mother's head had exploded!

There was blood all over the bed, and a bloody candlestick was lying on the ground next to it. If nothing unexpected happened, it must be that Queen Jiang used the candlestick to smash the Queen Mother's head!

"Ahhh!"

The first palace maid who entered screamed with a pale face. Her voice awakened everyone's consciousness, and they hurried to report to Situ Qing.

When Situ Qing heard this, his first reaction was disbelief.

Did Jiang Suirui take the wrong medicine?

Kill the Queen Mother? What good would it do her?

As long as the Queen Mother was alive, she might still be able to serve as the Queen. But once the Queen Mother died, what would she be able to rely on?

But no one dared to tell him false news. Looking at the eunuch trembling all over, Situ Qing was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Queen Mother Jiang was really dead.

"emperor……"

Concubine Li looked at Situ Qing worriedly, reached out and held his cold hand, saying, "I'll go with you to take a look."

Situ Qing waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice: "No need, you stay here, so as not to be frightened."

Concubine Li looked at him distressedly, then quickly turned around and called to her son: "Xu'er, quickly accompany your father."

"Yes."

Situ Xu hurried forward: "Father, your son will go with you to take a look."

Situ Qing nodded, calmly stood up and went to Jingci Palace.

On the way there, he was still thinking about his relationship with Queen Mother Jiang. They were mother and son, but they lacked the fate of mother and son. Later, in the cruel royal struggle, they became mother and son who were more polite than strangers.

He didn't really feel the death of Queen Mother Jiang, but he realized in an instant that he seemed to have really grown old...

Jingci Palace.

Situ Qing looked at the scene, went to the small dark room, and met the crazy Queen Jiang.

Queen Jiang was completely crazy and nothing could be asked of her. She would even open her mouth and bite anyone who approached her.

He looked like a prince who had been poisoned.

Situ Xu watched from the side, his heart filled with horror, his lowered gaze changing again and again.

……

This incident caused a great uproar in the imperial palace and soon spread to all six palaces.

Yueying Palace.

Princess Ying was puzzled: "Why did the queen suddenly go crazy?"

Situ Mo sneered, put his hands behind his back, and his eyes were full of ambition: "No matter what, the Queen Mother is dead, the Queen is crazy, and the dethronement of the Crown Prince is a done deal! Situ Lang, the dethronement is final!"

Princess Ying looked at her son who was determined to get him, and always felt that there was something they had not thought of, but she could not figure it out for the time being.

Wenxian Palace.

Empress Xian was shocked when she heard the news and subconsciously looked at her son: "Ran'er, this matter..."

Situ Ran shook his head, with some worry in his eyes: "Let's not talk about the truth of the matter, I'm worried... my fifth brother's wife will be in trouble."

"Xie Yuantang?"

Concubine Xian paused before reacting: "Yes, the Queen Mother and the Queen just met her today, and it just so happened that something happened not long after she left..."

Thinking of Xie Yuantang's bright little face, Empress Xian sighed and said, "That child is so unlucky."

Bad luck?

Situ Ran looked out the window with complicated eyes.

Suxin Palace.

Concubine An nervously grasped her daughter's hand and said, "Ya'er, didn't you go to Jingci Palace today? This matter won't involve us, right?"

Situ Ya was also nervous: "Ying, that shouldn't be the case, right? I didn't even go in, I was just waiting outside for Xie Yuantang to leave..."

She paused for a moment and suddenly froze.

At this moment, a eunuch came in and said, "Second Princess, the Emperor orders you to come over for questioning."

Situ Yaxin's heart was in her throat. She had no time to comfort Concubine An. She followed in a panic with a pale face.

Zhongli Palace.

After listening to Situ Xu's account of what happened, Concubine Li and her daughter both froze in their chairs, unable to react for a moment.

It was Situ Feng who first came to his senses. He grabbed Situ Xu's hand and asked, "This has nothing to do with Xie Yuantang. Will she be in trouble?"

Situ Xu looked at her, pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to say. When I came back, my father had already called the second sister to question her."

Situ Feng was anxious: "She has been playing cards here, and Father himself is a witness! Someone must want to frame Xie Yuantang for this matter. No, Xu'er, you must help her!"

Situ Xu wanted to say something but stopped.

Framed?

He may not think so.

Ever since he saw the crazy Queen Jiang and heard her shouting "Ghost, so many tongues", he was certain in his heart that Xie Yuantang was the one who did it!

He had seen Number Zero and Number One, and knew that if those things appeared in front of people, especially to scare a woman, it would be very easy to scare a person crazy.

Moreover, the way Queen Mother Jiang died with her head exploding was too brutal. He didn't believe that a weak woman like Queen Mother Jiang could have such strength.

Even if she became a lunatic, she shouldn't have just smashed one place without any injuries anywhere else on her body.

Such a familiar "ghost", such a cruel and decisive method of committing crimes, and it is related to Xie Yuantang. Situ Xu can only think of one person - Bai Lang!

Situ Xu sighed, scratched his hair with mixed feelings, and muttered: "How daring!"

In the past, they just thought that Xie Yuantang was occasionally crazy, and her verbal threats had never really hurt anyone. Now they finally understood that every threat she made was valid, and they just happened to pay money to buy her life.

A side hall of Jingci Palace.

Situ Qing looked at Situ Ya who was kneeling in front of him and asked coldly, "Are you sure that the Queen Mother was still alive when you and Xie Yuantang left?"

Situ Ya nodded tremblingly: "Sure, when I turned around, I saw the Queen Mother sitting there in good health."
