"I second the proposal!"

With Prime Minister Hong taking the lead, almost all the ministers present stood up and spoke, "I implore Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter, not to let the Sixth Prince die unjustly, and to give justice to the Chu family."

Queen Hong was secretly anxious. If the Chu family quit and the imperial teacher left, her son's position as crown prince might be lost.

"Your Majesty, since the Imperial Master and Chu Feiyan asked for a thorough investigation of Concubine Gu, then let's do it! As the saying goes, those who are innocent are innocent. If Concubine Gu is innocent, then we won't find anything even if we investigate!"

"Father, I think mother is right. There is no harm in investigating it! Let the truth be known to the world." The prince also spoke.

"Father, the person who poisoned the emperor is so bold that he actually poisoned the emperor and killed our sixth brother. This matter is too evil and must be investigated thoroughly." Long Shijun also said.

"Please ask Father to conduct a thorough investigation!"

Prince An and Prince Jing Long Shijun also demanded a thorough investigation.

The emperor's expression softened. "Allowed! Come, search Concubine Gu's Feiyun Palace."

"Yes!" Commander Xi responded and left with a team of guards.

Chu Feiyan nodded to Gong Beixuan and followed the Imperial Guards. The thing was buried underground and the Imperial Guards could not find it.

"Father, I'll go and take a look too." Long Shijun said to the emperor and took Xia Lingxue with him.

The hall fell silent. Faced with the table full of delicious food, no one dared to eat.

Concubine Gu looked very calm, she was sure they would not find anything. Thinking of her son's death, she started crying again.

The emperor walked back to the stage and looked at the body of the Sixth Prince with a sad expression. His emaciated body made him look much older.

He had three thousand beauties in his harem, but due to his poor health and few offspring, only ten of his children survived.

Prince Rui forced the emperor to abdicate and rebelled, he deserved to be put to death!

Long Shiyu married far away in another country, and I may never see her again in this life. Now the Sixth Prince has suffered such a disaster and is gone.

The emperor took off his dragon robe and covered the body of the sixth prince.

"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences!" Queen Hong advised.

The emperor said nothing and stood there waiting for news.

Although Chu Wenzhao was worried, he believed that his sister would be able to find evidence of Concubine Gu's murder and bring the bad guy to justice.

Time passed little by little, no one spoke in the hall, only the sound of Concubine Gu's sobbing, and the atmosphere became depressing.

"Father!" Long Shijun's voice finally came from the entrance of the hall.

Everybody looked over there!

I saw Chu Feiyan, Long Shijun and his wife, and Commander Xi all came back with a package in their hands.

When Concubine Gu saw what was in Commander Xi's hand, her face turned pale and she collapsed as if she had no bones.

How is this possible? The item was hidden so deep, and only a few of her most trusted people knew about it. How did these people dig it out?

She thought of the Imperial Master's abilities and looked dejected. Was God going to kill her?

"Your Majesty, these things were found in Feiyun Palace." Commander Xi opened the bundle in his hand and handed it over with both hands.

"What is this?" The emperor came down and saw these things. He was immediately furious. "Gu, this is what you did!"

Because what Commander Xi was holding in his hand were a dozen small rag dolls, each with a piece of yellow paper pasted on it and a big nail nailed to its head and limbs.

The emperor picked up a small figurine wearing a dragon robe and saw that written on the yellow paper was his own name and date of birth. He was so angry that he trembled all over.

Gong Beixuan and the prince also came over, and their faces changed drastically when they saw these little pricks.

"Curse doll?"

Gong Beixuan picked up one of them, which had Chu Feiyan's name on it, and murderous intent suddenly surged in his eyes.

"My name is on it!" The prince also picked up a puppet and saw his name and birth date on the yellow paper. His face turned pale, "What a vicious Concubine Gu, she actually wanted to kill so many people!"

"Brother Crown Prince, there are names from the Empress and Chu Wenzhao." Long Shijun read out all the names on the small figurines one by one.

Everyone in the hall couldn't believe that Concubine Gu actually wanted to kill the emperor!

Chu Feiyan walked up to Concubine Gu and said coldly, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. Gu, you are as vicious as the Gu family. Now all the retribution for this has fallen on you. God is really merciful!"

"Little bitch, I only regret that I couldn't kill you and avenge my Gu family!" Concubine Gu had a ferocious look on her face.

At this point, no matter how she defended herself, it was useless!

"Your Majesty!" Queen Hong knelt down before the emperor. "Since I took charge of the harem, I have treated every concubine equally, and every prince and princess as my own. I have never offended Concubine Gu, but she actually cursed me in secret!

And the prince usually treats Concubine Gu with respect like an elder, why did she curse the prince? Such a vicious person must not be allowed to stay, please punish her severely, Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Hong also said: "Your Majesty! You have been in poor health for a long time, and it must be this concubine Gu who cursed you in secret! Your Majesty, witchcraft is an evil art, and this matter must not be tolerated."

"Cough, cough, cough..." The emperor coughed in anger. When he calmed down a little, he ordered:

"Gu is evil-minded. He used evil magic to murder me, the crown prince, and the queen. Now he wants to poison the ministers in the court, but he killed the Sixth Prince instead. His crime is unforgivable. He shall be executed by slow slicing!"

Lingchi was the most cruel form of punishment. Concubine Gu was so frightened that her whole body went limp, unable to accept it.

Her plan was flawless. If she could poison Chu Feiyan to death, then this palace maid would be the one who would be found out.

According to the original plan, if the truth was discovered, the maid would hit her head against the pillar and die, so that there would be no evidence. But how could the result be like this?

God was so unfair to her! She hated him so much!

The Gu family was gone, and her daughter was forced to marry in another country. She was afraid that she would never see him again in this life. She hated the emperor's cruelty, the Chu family who killed the Gu family, and everyone who stood in the way of her child. She wanted all of them to die!

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel. I have served you for so many years and gave birth to two children for the royal family. Even if I have no merits, I have worked hard. How could you treat me like this..."

"Drag her out and execute her immediately!" the emperor roared. He would never allow the existence of someone who wanted to kill him.

The guards pressed Gu's mute point and dragged him out.

The emperor walked up the steps, picked up the body of the sixth prince, turned around, walked down the steps and left the hall.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down.

As soon as the emperor left, no one had the heart to enjoy the banquet.

It was a wonderful birthday party, but it ended just as it was beginning.

Some important officials in the court were worried about the emperor and also followed him to Jingren Palace.

Gong Beixuan was in a bad mood, so he took Chu Feiyan's hand and left, "Zhao'er, let's go!"

When they left the palace, Xie Xing was waiting outside in his carriage.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Chu Wenzhao said, "Sister, serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Such a court and such an emperor are not worth our lives to protect. It would be better for our Chu family to retire from the throne!"
