All I heard her say was, "Empress, if you had no selfish motives, why did you choose to poison the Emperor when he was in Chuxiu Palace?"

After saying this, she didn't wait for everyone's reaction. She staggered to the front of Emperor Wu Ren, knelt down, and put her hand on his, crying pitifully: "Your Majesty, my poor child has been killed before he could even see the world. Please help my poor child."

Emperor Wu Ren felt a tingling pain on the back of his hand, and it felt like being bitten by an insect.

But now all he could think about was Hua Shu's words, that the Queen wanted to poison him and let the Prince succeed to the throne, so he didn't care whether the back of his hand was bitten by an insect.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he felt. Finally, he could no longer bear it and stood up to slap Empress Liu in the face, then kicked Concubine Qi Hui.

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them. They had never expected that Emperor Wu Ren would attack the Queen.

"You two vicious women." Emperor Wu Ren glared at Empress Liu and Concubine Qi Hui.

Empress Liu felt a burning sensation on her face, her eyes full of disbelief, she just looked at Emperor Wu Ren.

Concubine Qi Hui no longer cared about the pain in her body. She knelt up again and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. I have never taken any pollen to Chonghua Palace. Your Majesty, I am wronged."

At this moment, Emperor Wu Ren had only one thought in his mind: Empress Liu wanted to kill him and let the crown prince succeed to the throne, so he would not listen to her any more.

After knowing that they wanted his life and the throne, Emperor Wu Ren had completely lost his mind. He said coldly: "Come here, pass on my decree to banish the two vicious women, the Queen and Concubine Hui, to the cold palace!"

Everyone in the room was stunned again. They had not expected that Emperor Wu Ren would be so cruel as to banish the Queen to the cold palace.

Concubine Qi Hui collapsed on the ground, completely dumbfounded. She still hadn't figured out why she was involved in this matter.

Empress Liu never expected that Emperor Wu Ren would say something like sending her to the cold palace?

Hua Shu was also slightly stunned. She hesitated for a moment and winked at Concubine Li Shu.

Concubine Li Shu understood what she meant, but she didn't want to remain silent and act according to the plan.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Hua Shu's eyes turned colder. Concubine Li Shu met her cold eyes and shuddered unconsciously. She hesitated for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty is the mother of a country. How can you be sent to the cold palace?"

"Then just destroy her!" Emperor Wu Ren said without thinking.

Everyone was shocked again, and Concubine Li Shu couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

At this moment, a somewhat anxious voice sounded at the door: "Father, please think twice."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the door and saw the prince walking in sweating profusely and kneeling in front of Emperor Wu Ren.

When she saw the prince, Empress Liu's face instantly turned ugly. She did not ask anyone to inform the prince, so why would he enter the palace at this time.

When Hua Shu saw the prince, the smile in her eyes deepened.

When Emperor Wu Ren saw the crown prince, he became even more furious. He angrily asked, "What are you doing in the palace at this time? Do you really want to rebel?"

"No, I didn't." The prince said with a grim expression, "I just happened to have something to report to my father in the palace, and when I heard about what happened here, I wanted to come and take a look."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Father, my mother is innocent. She is devoted to Buddhism and has never done anything that is harmful to the world. Someone must be trying to frame her. I beg you to investigate and clear my mother's name."

"There are witnesses and evidence, and you say she is innocent?" Emperor Wu Ren's eyes were frighteningly cold.

The prince wanted to say something, but Nanny Zhang spoke before him, "Your Majesty, this was done by this servant, and has nothing to do with the Empress."

"Madam Zhang." Empress Liu looked at her in shock. She naturally knew that it was not Madam Zhang who did it. She did it just to get herself out of trouble.

Two lines of tears flowed down Nanny Zhang's face. She knelt down and stepped forward to hold Empress Liu's hand, saying, "Your Majesty, I took the initiative to harm you, but I can't bear to see you cry every day."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, the maid just now is my niece. I told her about Concubine Hui taking the medicine to Chonghua Palace and the Empress asking me to poison and bury the box under the Empress's name."

"The reason I did this is because you haven't been to Chonghua Palace many times since Concubine Rou entered the palace. You didn't even visit the queen when she was sick."

"Today, when Concubine Rou came to pay respects to the Majesty, she deliberately provoked and provoked the Majesty. The Majesty did not take it seriously, but only I know that after they left, the Majesty cried alone in her room.

"Mammy." Empress Liu's voice became choked and she held her hand tighter.

Nanny Zhang smiled at her, then looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I watched the Empress grow up, and I can't bear to see her suffer any injustice, so I will try to kill Concubine Rou and the baby in her belly. In fact, not only Concubine Rou, I also plan to poison Concubine Yun in a few days."

Before she finished speaking, Emperor Wu Ren kicked her to the ground: "You old vicious woman!"

Nanny Zhang was already old, and now she was kicked hard in the chest. She fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Mammy." Empress Liu wanted to step forward to support her, but Emperor Wu Ren did not give her the chance. He said coldly, "Come here, drag this old vicious woman away and tear her into pieces!"

Before she could finish her words, several people came in and dragged Aunt Zhang away.

"Mammy." Empress Liu tried to stop him, but the prince held her hand and whispered, "Mother, you can't let Mammy down."

Nanny Zhang looked at Empress Liu and smiled lovingly: "Your Highness, don't be afraid. I will always protect you after my death."

Empress Liu bit her lips hard to prevent herself from crying out loud.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Qi Hui hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, this was done by Nanny Zhang and has nothing to do with me."

Emperor Wu Ren didn't even look at her, he just felt extremely angry in his heart.

The prince looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Father, this matter was decided by Aunt Zhang and has nothing to do with the Queen Mother. I beg you to understand."

After saying this, he gently pulled Empress Liu. Now that things had come to this, he could only put the blame on Nanny Zhang.

Empress Liu also understood this. She suppressed her sadness and anger, looked at Emperor Wu Ren and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what Nanny Zhang did. Although I didn't do it, she is my person, and I am also related to this matter. I am willing to go to the cold palace."

Seeing that she wanted to retreat in order to advance, Concubine Li Shu sneered in her heart and was about to say something.

Hua Shu shook her head at her. The matter was already a foregone conclusion and there was no point in saying anything more. But she did not intend to let Queen Liu go.
