"Yes..." Qi was so scared that her neck shrank and she told the story of that year.

"I was originally the maidservant of Lady Yue, and I followed her into the Eastern Palace as a dowry. Lady Yue thought she was noble and was unwilling to be just a concubine. So she secretly poisoned the first Crown Princess, causing her to miscarry and she could no longer have children.

But her happiness did not last long, because the Crown Prince...His Majesty divorced the Crown Princess on the grounds of having no children, and married the eldest daughter of the Gong family as the second Crown Princess, which made her very angry.

After Miss Gong married into the Eastern Palace, Yue tried to repeat her old trick and tried to poison Miss Gong, but the people around Miss Gong were very careful and she never succeeded.

We bribed Miss Gong until she gave birth to the deposed prince! We asked her to secretly poison the little prince." Qi pointed at Li, the old woman in green who was kneeling beside her.

"Mr. Gong, please spare my life..." Li kowtowed to Gong Beixuan repeatedly, and her forehead hit the hard jade ground, making a "bang bang" sound.

"It was Yue who took my child away and threatened me that if I didn't obey her, she would kill my child. I had no choice but to poison you as she said. But after the incident, Yue wanted to kill me to silence me, but I was saved by the Gong family..."

Li started to cry when she said this, "The Yue family was so cruel and ruthless that they killed everyone from my natal family and my husband's family. My child was less than two years old and she was killed just like that!

I feel so sorry for the Empress and the little prince. I have lived till now just to wait for this day to avenge my family and children!"

"You are talking nonsense. What benefits did Gong Beixuan and Chu Feiyan give you to make you slander me like this?" Yue rushed towards Qi angrily, but was kicked away by Hu Min.

"You bastard, do you think you are still the queen who is high above everyone else?"

"It's your turn. Speak quickly!" Sun Lu pointed his sword at the old woman in blue.

When Qi saw Empress Yue being beaten, she felt very relieved and told her everything she had done.

"All the evil things that Yue Shi did were done by me personally, including giving the Empress Gong drugs and aphrodisiacs, and finding beggars for her from the dilapidated temple. All of this was planned by me.

But after I helped her remove all obstacles, on the night she was canonized as the Crown Princess, I was given a cup of poisoned wine. Fortunately, I noticed it early and secretly replaced the poison, so I was lucky enough to escape death..."

"This is impossible!" Xia Tingyu was shocked. He didn't believe that his mother was such a vicious person. He asked Empress Yue, "Mother, what they said is not true, right?"

"Hahaha!" Empress Yue laughed a few times:

"Yu'er, whether it's true or not is no longer important! I have only done one thing that I regret the most in my life, and that is not cutting the grass and eradicating it completely!"

Empress Yue pointed at Gong Beixuan, her face twisted and ferocious, "I should have killed this bastard before that old man showed up!"

"Yue, you have done so many evil things. I told you that you would get your retribution sooner or later. I have waited for this day. Hahaha..." Qi laughed.

"You evil slave!" Xia Tingyu ran over and kicked Qi hard. "It's because of you, the gossiping, cunning and despicable people, that my mother has been led astray by you."

"Do you want to die?" Sun Lu held his sword across his face.

"Xia Tingyu, stop trying to cover up your mistakes and deceiving yourself and others." Chu Feiyan sneered at him.

"The Empress Gong is pitiful, and the Yue family is really hateful, but none of them are as hateful as this emperor!" Qi got up and pointed at the emperor and shouted angrily:

"He later found out that Empress Gong was framed by the Yue family, but he went along with it to save his own face. One reason was that the little prince was poisoned, and he thought he would not live long, so he gave up on him.

Secondly, he killed Empress Gong and abandoned the young prince, which had offended the Gong family. The emperor used this incident to threaten the Yue family and make the Yue family a pawn of the emperor to deal with the Gong family.

The deposed crown prince was obviously his biological son, but he allowed the whole world to call him a bastard, leaving him to fend for himself in the cold palace and causing the empress to suffer an unjust accusation.

Emperor! Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. You deserve what you have today. You deserve to die!"

The emperor's face turned red with embarrassment, as if he had been stripped naked for everyone to see. "Since there are these two witnesses, Empress Gong was indeed framed. Yue, do you admit your guilt?"

"I know my guilt? Hahaha..." Empress Yue pointed at him, looking crazy. "Didn't you instruct me to do all this? Now you blame me? You are the most foolish and incompetent emperor!"

The emperor was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he ordered: "Pass on my order, execute all nine clans of the Yue family!"

"You dog emperor, even at this time, do you still think you are the emperor? Hahaha!" Empress Yue raised her head and laughed.

"Don't forget, I am still his father." said the emperor.

Even if Gong Beixuan hated him, it could not change the fact that he was his biological father. Even if Gong Beixuan took away his throne, he would be called the late emperor in the royal family tree in the future.

When the ministers heard this, they realized that Empress Gong was really framed by this Yue family, and that Gong Beixuan was the emperor's eldest son.

At the same time, they all felt secretly relieved. Now they didn't have to die. Even if Gong Beixuan seized the throne, it would still belong to the Xia family, and the Dalin Kingdom would still be there.

Sun Lu and Hu Min both looked at Gong Beixuan, wanting to see if he would listen to the emperor?

Chu Feiyan also glanced at him and said, "Since it is the emperor's order, then you can go!"

The Yue family must not be allowed to stay. They can use the emperor's order to wipe out the Yue family.

"Yes!" Hu Min took the order and went down.

Empress Yue's laughter stopped abruptly, "Emperor, you are really cruel!"

The emperor spoke again: "Yue is a vicious person. She framed the former queen and poisoned the former crown prince. She has killed countless people. Her crimes are extremely heinous! She will be deposed and executed by slow slicing!"

"No!" Xia Tingyu knelt down and begged, "Father, please forgive my mother. I am willing to atone for her sins."

Gong Beixuan suddenly said, "Lingchi death is too easy for her."

Chu Feiyan seemed to understand what he meant and handed him the dagger in her hand. "Go ahead! You have to avenge your mother with your own hands to settle the matter."

Gong Beixuan took the dagger, a cold light reflected on his face, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

Xia Tingyu panicked, "Gong Beixuan, as long as you are willing to spare my mother's life, I will do anything you ask me to do..."

Gong Beixuan suddenly flipped his hand, and the dagger flashed with a cold light and shot towards Yue.

"No!" Xia Tingyu was startled and flew in front of Queen Yue.

"Pfft-"

The dagger pierced Xia Tingyu's back, leaving only the handle exposed.

"Yu'er!" Empress Yue hugged him and cried heartbreakingly: "Why are you so stupid? Your mother is not worthy of you doing this!"

"Mother... ugh..." Xia Tingyu spat out a mouthful of blood, "Son... I will go first..."

Before he could finish his words, his head drooped limply.
