The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Concubine Yan's palms.

what happened?

She simply bribed Luo Xunbei's personal palace maid and asked Yuqing to deliver the poison.

But how come now it becomes Yuqing who secretly poisoned someone?

Her eyes lingered on Yuqing's swollen and distorted face for a moment, and her mind raced with thoughts.

The palace servants around had already begun to whisper, with doubts in their eyes.

Concubine Yan knew that if this matter was not resolved quickly, things would likely get out of control.

He took a deep breath and forced a smile.

"How could I let her do something so harmful?"

Then he looked at Luo Xunbei, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt, as if he was shocked by his words.

"I don't know either..."

"She was clearly serving in the palace yesterday evening, so how could she suddenly run into your small kitchen?"

Concubine Yan's tone was a little anxious, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of confusion.

"It's likely someone is taking advantage of me!"

"Someone wants to use this to frame me and create the illusion that I am trying to harm the prince."

Her eyes swept across the scene, as if looking for the possible mastermind.

"This is really strange."

Luo Xunbei's expression changed slightly.

Concubine Yan reacted extremely quickly, immediately concluding that the matter was "being used by someone", and even hinted that someone wanted to frame her.

Luo Xunbei's gaze lingered on Concubine Yan's face for a moment.

"These are turbulent times, Madam Yan, you must take good care of the people around you..."

After a pause, he continued.

"After I caught her yesterday, I saw her crying so pitifully that I softened my heart and ordered them to let her go."

He shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret in the smile on his lips.

"I didn't expect that he would die..."

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her bad luck. She can't escape this fate."

The young eunuch took a step forward hesitantly and asked in a low voice.

"My Lady, what should we do with this corpse?"

A cold light flashed in Concubine Yan's eyes, and then she shook her sleeves, her tone decisive and indifferent.

"He betrayed me, framed me, and even poisoned the prince. Such a disloyal and unrighteous person should be thrown into a mass grave!"

Her tone was cold and decisive, as if she really hated the person who betrayed her.

Concubine Yan knew that if she didn't get herself out of this situation immediately, there would be endless troubles in the future.

Luo Xunbei looked at her reaction, smiled slowly, and said with a playful tone.

"Then she really died a worthy death."

The matter has come to this, and it is useless to say more.

Concubine Yan said in a calm tone.

"I have something important to do, so I'll leave first."

His steps were steady and he didn't show any sign of panic.

But just after she took a few steps, Luo Xunbei quickly caught up with her, leaned close to her ear, lowered his voice, and spoke casually.

"Empress Yan."

"Before Yuqing died, she was still shouting, 'My God, save me!'"

Concubine Yan's steps suddenly stopped, and her fingertips clenched her sleeves.

But Luo Xunbei had already stood up, raised his voice and smiled.

"Go slowly, Madam Yan—"

Cold sweat broke out on Concubine Yan's back, but at this moment, she couldn't lose her temper. She just glanced at Luo Xunbei, said nothing, and left in a hurry.

After returning to the bedroom, Concubine Yan dismissed all the servants and locked herself in the room.

The room was cold and dark, and she knelt before the shrine where the statue of the god was enshrined.

He muttered something in a trembling voice, like a madman.

"Let them die... let them die..."

"Let them die... let them die..."

……

Her eyes were dark, revealing madness and paranoia, and the entire bedroom was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

-

Near noon, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Eunuch Wang lowered his head, looking unnatural.

"Your Majesty, I report back."

The emperor was flipping through the memorials and seemed to be in a good mood. He said without raising his head.

"Tell me, what did you find out?"

Eunuch Wang swallowed and seemed a little hesitant.

"About a moment before the imperial guards arrived, the Prince of Xiang seemed to have received the news and fled ahead of time..."

"Where did he go?"

Eunuch Wang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and lowered his voice.

"They... don't know either."

Eunuch Wang was silent, paused, and then gritted his teeth and said.

"I also asked about another thing... They said that the King of Xiang had planned it long ago..."

He hesitated.

The emperor frowned impatiently: "Speak!"

"Prince Xiang...has been planning to seize the throne for a long time..."

The air condensed instantly.

The emperor's face turned ashen, and he slammed the memorial in his hand onto the table and said coldly.

"Where's the jade seal? Do they know where the King of Xiang hid it?"

Eunuch Wang felt a chill down his spine and answered with gritted teeth.

"The Imperial Seal...is not in the hands of the Prince of Xiang."

The emperor's pupils suddenly shrank: "What?"

"They said... the imperial seal is missing..."

"The King of Xiang doesn't know who took the imperial seal either."

boom!

The emperor slammed the table with an angry look on his face, shocking everyone in the hall.

"Nonsense! Impossible!"

"They must be lying to you!"

"Continue the trial!"

Eunuch Wang was already sweating profusely and kowtowed hurriedly.

"Your Majesty...they bit their tongues and committed suicide..."

The emperor's face was terribly gloomy. He stared at Eunuch Wang and suddenly sneered in a sinister voice.

"Very good... They all died one by one, quite cleanly and neatly."

After a moment's silence, he suddenly raised his hand and spoke word by word.

"Chop it up and feed it to the dogs!"

“Feed them all to the dogs!”

Eunuch Wang didn't dare to say much and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, a low voice came from outside the hall.

"His Majesty."

Tanying knelt silently in front of the hall, his brows slightly furrowed.

The emperor narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers.

"explain."

"Ji Yun is indeed faking his death."

Eunuch Wang's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look up at the emperor.

The emperor sneered, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

"really."

His gaze slowly shifted to Eunuch Wang.

"As I told you yesterday, take Tong Jiasuo to the mansion."

After a pause, he added.

"Are you all ready?"

Eunuch Wang seemed to have been pardoned. He nodded hurriedly, his voice filled with awe and caution.

"Ready! Ready!"

The emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand.

"Go ahead, and remember, make sure he doesn't come out alive."

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wang did not dare to stay any longer and immediately retreated in a hurry, his steps unsteady.

Only Tan Ying was left in the hall.

The emperor fixed his gaze on him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Where is this person now?"

Tan Ying replied respectfully, "She has been taken under control. Does Your Majesty wish to see her?"

The emperor knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and his voice was cold.

"Bring it up."
