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

Seeing that Nanny Lu didn't say anything, Si Yan drew his knife without saying anything.

Another scream was heard in the side hall, and everyone felt horrified.

At first, Madam Lu was stubborn. After Si Yan stabbed her a few times with the dagger in his hand, she couldn't bear it anymore, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't say a word.

Si Yan remained calm as he cut her skin with his knife, one stroke at a time, his tone nonchalant.

"Madam Lu, this is just to test the knife's sharpness. We're about to start peeling your skin. Your hands are well-maintained, so let's start with your fingers. Your fingers are connected to your heart, so let's see what you're thinking..."

Nanny Lu's body was shaking like a sieve. When she saw Si Yan's dagger move down her arm and cut her index finger, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I confess! I confess!" shouted Madam Lu.

Seeing Nanny Zhong and Nanny Lu covered in blood, some timid palace maids and eunuchs couldn't help but vomit.

Si Yan sneered and looked at Lu Ma: "I don't have much time..."

Nanny Lu quickly spoke up, "There's a shadowless person beside the Queen Mother. He's highly skilled in martial arts and can come and go without a trace. He can poison people without anyone noticing."

When Si Ru heard this, she couldn't help but recall the time when she was in the prince's bedroom. Although no one entered, her eyes were not always on the chicken soup.

Could it be that at that time, this invisible man poisoned the chicken soup?

"Where is this shadowless man?" Si Yan asked.

Madam Lu tilted her head and looked at a eunuch in the side hall: "Sir..."

Si Yan slowly walked towards the eunuch and said calmly, "Is it him? This eunuch?"

"Sir, he is not a real eunuch. He is a master who has just entered the palace and is pretending to be a eunuch to stay with the Queen Mother." said Madam Lu.

Si Yan looked at the eunuch-dressed man in front of him and asked, "What do you have to say?"

"S-Sir..."

The man looked up at Si Yan, and suddenly, his five fingers turned into claws and quickly grabbed Si Yan's throat.

When Si Yan heard that he was the Shadowless Man, he knew that he was a martial arts expert and had kept some tricks up his sleeve.

Si Yan swung the dagger in his hand, and two of the shadowless man's fingers were cut off in an instant...

"Ah--" the shadowless man shouted and used his other hand to grab Si Yan's eyes.

Si Yan fought with him and scratched his face until it bled.

Several eunuchs and palace maids were so scared that they huddled together. Ling Mohan and Pei Wangjie rushed forward at the same time.

Yan Longyi and Boya, who had been hiding in the side hall before, intercepted the escape route of the shadowless man and captured him after a few moves.

Si Yan directly ordered: "Check if he is a eunuch."

Ling Mohan and others blocked Si Yan's sight, took off the eunuch's pants, and saw that he was indeed not a eunuch.

"Sir, this man is not a eunuch."

When everyone in the hall heard this, they couldn't help but feel angry, and the Queen Mother's face lost all color.

Duke Dingguo's expression was extremely grim: "Queen Dowager, how do you explain this?"

Prince An Qi Guang'an flicked his sleeves and asked, "The late emperor just passed away, and the empress dowager is already keeping a male concubine in the palace?"

The Queen Mother said in shame and anger: "I have never kept a male concubine... This is someone I invited..."

"What are you doing here?"

"Please come..."

Before the outsider could finish, Si Yan's voice came from the side hall again: "If you don't tell the truth, I will turn you into a real eunuch."

The man's face was full of horror as he watched Si Yan put down the dagger, replaced it with a long sword used by the guards of the Zuowei Mansion, and walked towards him step by step.

The long sword moved, about to pierce, when the shadowless man quickly spoke: "I said, it was the Queen Mother who ordered me to poison the prince..."

Si Yan held the sword and asked, "Where's the remaining poison? Or, what did you use to pack the poison? Where's the rest?"

"I threw the rest into the sump outside."

"Send someone to search." Si Yan ordered.

Soon, Ling Mohan's men found a white porcelain bottle from the slag bucket that the Shadowless Man mentioned.

Si Yan had it brought to the main hall and handed over to Si Ru for inspection.

Si Ru opened the porcelain bottle and said angrily, "This is the poison. The prince was poisoned by this poison."

"The truth has come to light." Si Yan said lightly.

Si Yan did not end the interrogation immediately. She looked at the palace maids in the Empress Dowager's palace with a stern gaze.

"Finally, I'll give you one more chance. Anyone who can report the Queen Mother's treasonous activities will have a chance to save their family's lives. Otherwise, they will all be implicated."

Seeing that Wuying had confessed, a palace maid gritted her teeth and said, "My lord, although I don't know that the Queen Mother poisoned the Prince, I overheard that the Queen Mother and the King of England were plotting a rebellion."

"How to rebel?" Si Yan asked.

Pei Wangjie sat aside, taking a pen and paper to write down the palace maid's confession.

"The Queen Mother and the King of England discussed this and asked the King of England to lead the Qin family's death-defying warriors and charge into the palace through the north gate. They said that as long as they killed General Ling, the palace guard, they would control the entire palace."

Another maid quickly chimed in, "This servant also knows about this. We were on duty that day and heard it outside the Empress Dowager's door."

After hearing the two palace maids confess one after another, a eunuch could not help but feel relieved.

"The Queen Mother also secretly contacted Han Hu, the commander of the imperial guards, with the intention of rebellion. The Queen Mother promised that when King Ying ascended the throne, she would make Han Hu the King of Han."

"There's also Qin Haojie, the guard at the north gate of the imperial palace. He has secretly met with the empress dowager several times and is also plotting a rebellion."

"..."

In order to get a lighter punishment, the palace maids and eunuchs in the central palace rushed to reveal all the facts about the Queen Mother's conspiracy to rebel.

Inside the hall, even though the Queen Mother was sitting on a chair, her body was shaky.

Si Yan threw down the sword in his hand, washed his hands, and walked out of the side hall.

Without saying a word, she sat in the seat given by the prince, waiting for Pei Wangjie, who was recording his statement, to come out.

At this time, Yi Jiangfeng captured the witch and brought her into the palace. When the witch saw this situation, she confessed everything.

"Yes...someone asked me for poison...but they didn't tell me what it was for..."

"Is this the poison?" Si Yan asked someone to take the white porcelain bottle to the witch.

The witch took one look and said tremblingly, "Yes, it is this poison."

Pei Wangjie finished his confession and walked out of the side hall: "Crown Prince, ministers, the Queen Mother's poisoning of the Crown Prince and her conspiracy with the King of England have been fully revealed."

"Hahahaha...hahaha..." Suddenly, the Queen Mother looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.

Then, she looked at Qi Ziyu with tears in her eyes, "Yu'er, I'm sorry for you. I did all this. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. But your brother, the King of Ying, is innocent. Please spare his life for the sake of how I raised you for so many years."

"Mother..."

When King Ying Qi Hongyuan heard the Queen Mother say this, he knew that their world was doomed.

The King of England knelt on the ground, wiping his tears and said, "Ayu, this throne has always been yours. My brother has never thought of taking it away... My mother is old, please spare her. If you want to punish someone, punish my brother."

"No, all this was planned by me." The Queen Mother had made up her mind that if the matter was exposed, she would take all the responsibility.

She looked at Qi Ziyu with tears in her eyes, "Yu'er, the King of England is innocent. He came to the palace only because he thought you were harmed by Si Yan and came to protect you."

Qi Hongyuan burst into tears and said, "Mother, this is not your fault. This is my fault."

"Shut up! This is all my fault," the Queen Mother said sternly. "Please, Prince, punish me."

Qi Hongyuan whimpered, fell to the ground, and burst into tears.

The ministers looked indifferent and expressionless as they looked at the Queen Mother and the King of England and their son.

It is an established fact that the two men plotted to murder the prince and intended to rebel. Now, it depends on how the prince will decide.
