After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

She pulled a hairpin from her head, inserted the tip into his fingernail, and picked out some red powder from it.

Everyone stretched their necks curiously to look forward. Those who were close could clearly see Nian Susu picking out red powder from between the king's fingernails, while those who were far away could only see her taking a hairpin and stabbing it into the king's index finger.

Qin Zehai widened his eyes and pulled his hand out suddenly, throwing Nian Susu's handkerchief to the ground.

"Why is the prince so nervous?" Nian Susu asked knowingly. She bent down to pick up the handkerchief, wrapped the hairpin, and turned to hand it to Qin Junyu.

Qin Zehai looked at the cracks between his fingernails in disbelief, and there was indeed still some residue inside.

Nian Susu stood up and returned to his previous position.

Qin Junyu presented the handkerchief and said, "Father, Miss Nian found some medicine powder residue in the fingernails of the virtuous king. Is it the same kind as the Dian Kuang San in the imperial stable? Please ask the horse doctor to check it and we will know."

The emperor nodded.

The horse doctor hurried forward and took the handkerchief with both hands.

All eyes are on you.

The Queen and Qin Zehai exchanged a quick glance, and the latter closed his eyes, shaking his head in despair.

The queen staggered and almost fell down, fortunately the palace maid behind her supported her.

The test results came out very quickly, and the red powder in Qin Zehai's fingernail was actually Dian Kuang San.

The emperor was heartbroken. He never expected that his own brother would kill him!

Qin Fengtian's eyes turned black and he fell backwards. Qin Guanqing supported him.

"Third brother, calm down."

Qin Guanqing knew that he had a close relationship with the virtuous king, so it was hard for him to accept it at this time.

It doesn't matter if you feel sad, but once your father finds out, it will be no small matter. After all, the wise king is guilty of regicide, and anyone who sympathizes with him is disrespectful to the emperor.

Qin Fengtian shook his head and tried to stay awake.

He murmured, "How could it be... How could it be..."

How could the emperor's uncle want to murder his father? In his impression, the emperor's uncle was always gentle and elegant, and he was always cheerful and talkative.

The Emperor's uncle would never do such a thing, there must be a misunderstanding!

Qin Fengtian trusts Qin Zehai very much.

The emperor pinched his brows and said, "We have all the evidence, wise king, what else do you have to say?"

Qin Zehai had nothing to say.

Just then, Qin Fengtian rushed out.

"Third brother!" Qin Guanqing didn't hold him back.

He knelt down in front of the emperor and said in a resounding voice: "Father! The emperor's uncle must have been wronged! I know the emperor's uncle well, he would never do such a thing! He must have missed some details!"

Qin Guanqing's eyes darkened. His third brother really couldn't figure it out...

When he did this, the queen was so frightened that she almost fainted.

The emperor's face became even uglier. The anger that he had suppressed with great difficulty flared up again, and he glared at Qin Fengtian.

Qin Fengtian nodded and lowered his brows, not seeing his expression.

Qin Zehai's situation was already difficult enough. If Qin Fengtian continued to support him, the emperor would only hate Qin Zehai more and dislike his son even more.

The queen's legs were weak and she staggered onto the stands with the help of her maid.

Concubine Ning looked like she was enjoying a good show.

As soon as she reached Qin Fengtian's side, she knelt down. It didn't seem like she knelt down voluntarily, but more like she couldn't stand and fell down.

The Queen cried and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Tian'er is still young and doesn't understand..."

The emperor didn't wait for her to finish. He grabbed the teacup from the eunuch next to him and threw it over. The porcelain cup fell to the ground three steps away from the queen.

The floor of the stands was made of solid bluestone. The porcelain cup broke into several pieces as soon as it was touched. The brown tea splashed everywhere, staining the queen's dress a dark color. The boiling hot tea flowed to the queen's knees.

"You are still young! You don't know anything!" The emperor shouted angrily, "How many times have you used this excuse to excuse him?"

The queen didn't dare to hum.

Qin Fengtian was like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger. He looked up at the emperor and said, "Father, please don't vent your anger on mother. I will take all the responsibility on myself!"

The emperor sneered, "Good, very good! Now you know you have to take responsibility! Why didn't you have this attitude when I told you to do something before!"

You have stood up to protect the emperor's uncle, and you have no choice but to protect the queen mother. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes? "

The emperor was extremely angry and shouted these words almost at the top of his lungs.

The people in the audience looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

As things have developed to this point, it seems that more conflicts have been involved...conflicts within the royal family, conflicts between the emperor and the princes...

The emperor was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. "There are witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to speak up for him!"

"I have never asked you who you are close to or who you are friends with, let alone tried to stop you, but you should know who to trust and who to be wary of.

If you can't tell right from wrong, I will have no choice but to send you back to the academy to learn the principles all over again!"

"Who should be guarded against" obviously refers to Qin Zehai. The emperor was dissatisfied with his son being too close to him.

Qin Fengtian wanted to refute again, but the Queen pulled his sleeve, signaling him to stop, so he had to stop.

"Your Majesty, Tian'er has been spoiled by me, so he takes everything too simply and speaks directly. He just thinks that the virtuous king treats him very well and is close to him, so he doesn't believe that the virtuous king would do such a thing. He has absolutely no other intentions."

The queen was afraid that if she continued to investigate, she would discover some incredible secrets.

Besides, it was a fact that Qin Zehai's affair had been exposed. Rather than involving himself in a pointless rescue, it would be better to get away with it cleanly.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Qin Zehai and the Queen had the same idea. Although he failed this time, as long as he was still alive, he still had a chance.

Tian'er is going to be the crown prince, so he cannot be implicated.

The current solution is to minimize the damage.

He made up his mind, kowtowed vigorously, and cried bitterly: "Brother Emperor! I was deceived by the traitor and drugged the imperial horse! I know I was wrong now! Please forgive me, brother Emperor!"

"Blinded by a traitor?" The emperor sneered, "Blinded by whom?"

Of course the emperor didn't believe it.

But Qin Zehai pushed out a scapegoat, and the minister confessed his guilt without hesitation, saying that he had instigated the wise king to do so and was willing to bear any punishment.

The emperor had no way to deal with such an obvious mistake, not only because the "scapegoat" was loyal and brave, no matter how he was threatened, he said that he was the one who instigated the wise king. But also because Qin Zehai was his younger brother, he could not kill him.

The final execution was to strip him of his title as the virtuous king, place him under house arrest for three months, prohibit anyone from visiting him without permission, and fine him one year's salary.

The scapegoat was directly sentenced to death, the men in the mansion were sent to the army, and the women were demoted to slavery and were never allowed to redeem themselves.

The purpose of this killing of the chicken to scare the monkey is not only to intimidate everyone, but also to warn Qin Zehai not to have any evil thoughts again.

The emperor knew exactly who was the culprit.

As for Qin Fengtian, the emperor ordered him to be sent back to the capital early tomorrow morning and put under house arrest for a month.

The queen fainted on the spot.

The case was finally settled, and Nian Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
