The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Si Yan was not surprised that Zhen Jinian turned to Prince Yong's camp. She had a premonition when Zhen Jinian spoke for her in the court that day.

But there are not many people like Zhen Zhinian who dare to use his own life to exchange for a way out for his family.

The Daxuan court was under the control of Xin Rui, and there were almost no court officials with clean hands. If Si Yan wanted to find something to hold against someone in the future, he would be able to do so without fail.

But the blood transfusion needs to be done step by step, and Daxuan’s future path needs to be taken step by step.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor summoned Si Yan into the palace.

Si Yan put on his newly made official uniform. The dark red clothes were embroidered with sun, moon and cloud patterns and were tailored to fit him perfectly.

Si Yan walked with a steady and majestic demeanor, and even Si Zhengxuan couldn't help but marvel at it when he saw him.

This girl is not a boy, but she is better than a boy.

Si Yan entered the palace and was led directly to the emperor's bedroom. The emperor looked very bad in front of the desk, and his chest was heaving.

When the emperor saw Si Yan, he couldn't help but be surprised. Looking at her in her official uniform and full of righteousness, like a star in the sky, he couldn't help but feel better.

Si Yan saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I, Si Yan, pay my respects to you."

"No need for formalities." The emperor tried his best to calm down, but he still couldn't hide his anger.

The emperor threw a piece of silk to Si Yan, "This is what Pei Wangjie presented to me. It's Fu Rentao's confession. He said that the Imperial Concubine took advantage of my illness and asked him to poison me."

Si Yan had already read the confession, and when her cousin got the news out of Fu Rentao, he told her immediately.

Si Yan now read the confession again seriously.

She raised her eyes to the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, do you doubt this confession?"

"I'm just wondering why the Imperial Concubine wants to harm me." The emperor still had a lucky mentality. "Could it be that Fu Rentao is just making random accusations?"

Si Yan didn't say anything. The confession even clearly stated the time, place, and how it was done. How could the emperor still suspect that Fu Rentao was making an accusation?

Si Yan was silent for a moment, then said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, how about calling the Imperial Concubine over and confronting her face to face?"

"I will certainly ask her." The emperor's face was full of anger, and he slapped the teacup on the table and flew it away.

"Someone, go call the Imperial Concubine over."

Just as Eunuch Gu was about to go out, Hu Wen hurried in, followed by a palace maid.

The maid cried and wiped her tears: "Oh no, Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned..."

"What? The Imperial Concubine was poisoned?" The emperor stared at the palace maid kneeling on the ground with a frown.

Si Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. The Imperial Concubine was trying to use a cruel trick on herself again.

Fu Rentao has been assassinated many times while in prison, but all attempts have failed.

Later, not only was Fu Rentao killed, but her cousin Pei Wangjie was also killed.

Obviously, they didn't want Pei Wangjie to get anything out of Fu Rentao.

However, such a long time has passed, and Pei Wangjie and Fu Rentao are still alive, so they naturally can't sit still.

The palace maid shrank back, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has been poisoned. She's dizzy and nauseous, and she's been vomiting blood. Please go and see her..."

The palace maid who came to report was newly assigned to the Imperial Concubine's Palace. She was kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.

"I'll go and take a look." The emperor stood up angrily and rushed to the imperial concubine's palace.

"Si Yan, you go too."

"Yes." Si Yan responded and followed silently. When they arrived, the queen had already arrived.

The Imperial Concubine's face was pale, her lips were dark purple. She pointed at the Queen and said, "Queen, I know you've always hated me for monopolizing His Majesty's favor, but now His Majesty no longer loves me. Why are you still refusing to let me go?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen immediately retorted, "Royal Consort, what nonsense are you talking about? You were poisoned, and I came here to investigate. How can you blame me for this?"

The Imperial Noble Consort clutched her stomach and said, "Queen, I know you hate me and Your Majesty, but it was the Crown Prince who rebelled back then. If you want to hate someone, you should hate yourself for not disciplining the Crown Prince well, not for me and Your Majesty... Ugh..."

As the Imperial Noble Consort spoke, blood gushed out of her mouth, and the palace servants around her suddenly became flustered.

"What's going on?" The emperor strode into the concubine's bedroom and asked sternly when he saw this shocking scene.

"Your Majesty..." The Imperial Concubine was so weak when she saw the Emperor that she lay on the bed. "I'm afraid I can no longer serve Your Majesty."

"What's going on?" The veins on the emperor's forehead were throbbing.

A maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine spoke tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the maid Mudan was caught poisoning the Imperial Concubine. We found a packet of poison powder under her bed. She has confessed, saying that she was ordered by the Empress to poison the Imperial Concubine..."

The Imperial Concubine cried, "Your Majesty, I feel so bad... I might die. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany Your Majesty in the future..."

"Have you called the imperial physician?" asked the emperor.

A palace maid said, "Your Majesty, I have sent for Imperial Physician He."

The Imperial Noble Consort raised her eyes to glance at the Queen and Si Yan, then looked at the palace maid Mudan who was kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty, this bitch has confessed. She poisoned me at the Queen's behest."

Mudan knelt on the ground with her head hung down. The queen pursed her lips and trembled all over.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me." The Queen said seriously.

The Imperial Noble Consort clung to the Emperor's arm, her voice so soft it made one's scalp tingle: "Your Majesty, these new palace maids were carefully selected by the Empress and sent to me. This Mudan has already recruited them, saying that it was the Empress who ordered her to do so.

"Mudan also said that the Empress has always hated me and Your Majesty because the Crown Prince was deposed, and she vowed to seek justice for the deposed Crown Prince. But Your Majesty knows that the Crown Prince's rebellion had nothing to do with me..."

The emperor's face was gloomy. He looked at the queen, then at the palace maid kneeling on the ground: "Did the queen instruct you to poison the imperial concubine?"

"Your Majesty, it's the Queen." Mudan replied while kneeling on the ground.

"Look up," the emperor said sternly.

Mudan raised her head, feeling a little scared, but trying to remain calm.

The emperor stared at her gloomily: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to slander the queen?"

Mudan straightened her back and said, "Your Majesty, I have not slandered the Queen. The Queen said that the Imperial Concubine has fallen out of favor. If the Imperial Concubine dies, Prince Xin will be left without a backer, and Prince Yong will become the Crown Prince. When Prince Yong ascends the throne in the future, he will listen to the Queen and release the deposed Crown Prince."

Si Yanqing asked coldly, "Would the Queen say these words to a maid like you?"

Mudan raised her eyes to glance at Si Yan and said calmly, "The Empress would talk to herself in the palace. When she was praying to Buddha and chanting scriptures, she would also recite silently. I overheard it. The Empress also promised me that once the deposed prince was rescued, she would let him take me as his concubine."

"This is absolute nonsense!" The queen was so angry that she felt dizzy and her body was about to fall. Nanny Liu beside her hurriedly supported the queen.

Aunt Liu wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, this Mudan is talking nonsense. I have always been by the Empress's side, and the Empress has never said such words."

Mudan cried and said, "Your Majesty, I am just a little maid who has just entered the palace. I have no grudge against the Imperial Concubine. If the Empress had not forced me to do so, I would never have poisoned the Imperial Concubine!"

The queen's face turned pale. She had never expected that among the new palace maids, there were people who were in the party of the imperial concubine and the prime minister.
