The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven

By the time the guards arrived after hearing the noise, the woman was already dead.

When Queen Yang found out, she was so frightened that she collapsed all over.

"How, how could he die suddenly?"

The eunuch Hai Gonggong, who had gone to inquire about the cause, said, "I heard that the death was tragic and strange."

"There were several wounds on his body, but there wasn't a drop of blood on the ground."

"The blood at the wound was black, as if it had been blown apart by something."

The queen retched after hearing this.

The old lady scolded: "Stop talking."

"Go down!"

After everyone had left, the old nanny patted the queen and reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. This matter has nothing to do with you."

The Queen looked nervous. "Why not? This girl was sent here by her family. They said she could help me solve my problems!"

"If you continue to investigate, you will definitely find me! How can you hide the identity of this witch?"

"Your Majesty just sentenced the Fourth Brother to death for witchcraft, and he's still in jail crying out for justice."

"Although I haven't done anything yet, if the Crown Prince is implicated because of this woman's identity, wouldn't that be too unfair?"

"I don't want to harm the East Palace!"

The old maid said: "Your Majesty the Queen! You are the Queen, the master of the harem, the mother of the world."

"Go and claim her, and tell her that you scolded her yesterday, and this maidservant actually wanted to run away from the palace."

"You don't know what evil spirit has possessed her, let alone her true identity. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you."

"Although you were sent to the palace by the Yang family, you have only been here for a few days."

"Anyway..."

Before she could finish her words, a palace maid came in hurriedly and announced, "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess's wet nurse is here."

"I have important clues to share with you regarding the palace maid who died in unusual circumstances today."

The queen's heart skipped a beat.

She looked at the old nanny beside her with an uneasy look on her face, and the old nanny shook the queen's hand firmly.

After stabilizing the Queen's position, the seventh princess's wet nurse was summoned in.

After greeting the Seventh Princess, the Seventh Princess's nurse came straight to the point and said, "Her Majesty, our Highness the Princess sent this old servant to come and tell you something."

"She suddenly remembered that the maidservant who had been with you these past two days was someone she had seen with His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince before."

"I heard earlier that she had died. Her Highness was afraid that you had been deceived and would be implicated, so she sent this old servant to investigate how the people around you were doing things. How dare you transfer this criminal slave to your side?"

"As for the rest, Your Highness heard that there was a portrait next to the maid, but it seems someone saw it last night and someone picked it up."

The Queen lost her composure and whispered, "What?"

The old lady personally escorted the person out.

"The Empress was set up by thieves, and we almost fell for it. Fortunately, this lowly servant was taken back by heaven. She truly deserved death!"

"This old servant would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Seventh Princess on behalf of the Empress. Her filial piety towards the Empress is evident to us and we understand it."

After watching the wet nurse walk away completely, the old nurse hurried back into the hall.

The queen's face was pale and she collapsed completely on the main seat.

"Your Majesty, please cheer up. We really don't know what's going on with this witch and how she's connected to the Fourth Prince."

"Something must have gone wrong back home, otherwise how could they dare to send someone like this to you?"

"Fortunately she's dead!"

Queen: "I was wondering how she knew so well that the treasure was what the Fourth Prince wanted."

"It turns out that she is the Fourth Prince's woman!"

"I almost fell for her trick."

"She also said that Nangong might be the Lady of Yaoguang County in Daliang. If that's true, why wouldn't Old Six, who's been to Daliang, tell me?"

"He became a cripple in Daliang. He should hate the people of Daliang to the core!"

"What happened to my father?"

"Doesn't she know that the fourth brother has just been dismounted and is trying every possible way to turn things around?"

"If something goes wrong between the witch and me and the East Palace at this time, it will be the fourth brother's chance."

"Now that I think about it, I almost did something wrong."

"Nangong was summoned into the palace by His Majesty. No matter what errand Li Wu was on, His Majesty will have to decide his fate. I'm almost confused!"

The old nanny could only keep comforting the queen: "Fortunately, the incident hasn't happened yet, has it?"

Queen: "But, but how did she die?"

"Who wants to kill her?"

"There is that painting. Who picked it up?"

"If this gets reported to the Nangong family, or if someone else with ulterior motives uses the portrait to frame me, how will I respond?"

Back here in the inner palace, the queen was completely thrown into disarray.

Over there in the Seventh Princess's palace, Li Qingluo was burning her own portrait.

Madam Zheng: "Miss, this queen is also brainless."

"You almost became a pawn of the Yungu Sect to deal with you. Fortunately, your identity should not be exposed yet, right?"

Li Qingluo: "Yun Gu is the remnant of Zulia. If they dare to come near me again, I will kill one by one. If they come in pairs, I will kill them both."

"Anyway, this hatred has already been formed."

Nanny Zheng nodded.

The master and servant looked at the scroll in the brazier that was completely burned to ashes, and they felt indifferent.

Xiqiu suddenly knocked on the door: "Miss, the Seventh Princess is here."

Li Qingluo turned around and went out to greet him.

The Seventh Princess: "I have already sent someone to do what you asked me to do for you."

"I heard that the Queen Mother's face looked very unhappy and she lost her composure on the spot."

"That palace maid's death...could it be related to you?"

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, it's better for you not to ask too much."

"This matter involves the Fourth Prince and the Empress. If you know too much, it will not be beneficial to your safety."

The Seventh Princess was a little angry.

Why did she want someone to do something for her again, but then hide the whole story from her without letting her know?

Isn't this just a pure attempt to take advantage of me?

"you!"

The Seventh Princess' eyes widened in anger.

Li Qingluo suddenly smiled: "Do you really want to know? Then this lady has said... Actually..."

The seventh princess suddenly covered her ears with her hands.

"Alright, alright! I won't listen!"

There was panic in her eyes, which made Li Qingluo shake his head and laugh.

Seventh Princess:......

Was she just teasing herself?

Seventh Princess: "Nangong Qingluo! You are so brave!"

Li Qingluo: "What's wrong with your wife?"

"I want to say it, but you, Princess, don't listen."

The seventh princess could only stamp her feet in anger.

But just now, she was really scared to death.

Now, it is already very difficult for these princes and princesses to survive in this palace.

The less you know, the safer you will live.

The Seventh Princess was too lazy to argue with her about this matter anymore.

But her face still looked very ugly.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly told his real purpose.

"I don't want to marry into the Western Regions."

"Do you have any way to help me get rid of this matter?"

Li Qingluo: "Are you sure, Your Highness the Seventh Princess, that you are going to be married off to the Western Regions?"

The seventh princess, Zong Zheng Xingyao, nodded with a pale face.

"Ever since my third sister's tragic death in Daliang, my father has been planning to marry another princess to the Western Regions."

"Over the years, Father has long lost his ambition."

"I heard that there's been constant friction between the Western Regions and Daliang, and that Prince Su, known as the Yama God of Death, died on the battlefield. Father is very worried that the Western Regions will turn around and attack Da Chu again, so he took the initiative to write to the Western Regions, saying that he would send another princess to marry."

Zong Zheng Xingyao said with a sad face, "Among the princesses now, I am the only one of the most suitable age, so I have been concerned about this matter."

"The palace has heard rumors these past few days that my father personally circled my name in the name list."

Zong Zheng Xingyao covered his face with his hands, looking dejected.

"What kind of father is he?"

Li Qingluo raised his finger and made a "hush" sound.

"Your Highness, be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

Zong Zheng Xingyao sneered, "What are you afraid of? If I'm really married off to the Western Regions, what's the difference between that and death?"

"My father is a cruel yet cowardly king, and everyone in the world knows it."

"Back in the day, when my aunt was still around, I heard he was also very brave and skilled in battle. Although our Great Chu may not be a strong military or prosperous people, we are not afraid of threats and provocations from foreign nations."

"But ever since my aunt's death, my father has become more and more absurd day by day. Now, who among the people in the world is not complaining?"

"The people of Great Chu cannot hold their heads up in front of Daliang and the Western Regions."

Zong Zhenglang ignored state affairs.

They also don't want to provoke border wars, so in the face of increasingly aggressive provocations from the Western Regions, they have been giving in step by step in recent years.

The Western Regions have already swallowed up three cities of the Great Chu in recent years.

Zong Zheng Langri didn't care and just indulged in his own drunken life.

Not only that, he killed people like crazy and was bloodthirsty and cruel. It was unknown how many more years the Great Chu Dynasty of Zong Zheng could last.

"never mind."

"What ideas do you have?"

"Now that your husband hasn't returned yet, you have to think of ways to save your own life."

"What else can you do to protect me?"

Li Qingluo: "Your Highness, you said just two days ago that as long as you are in this palace, no one will come to harm me."

Seventh Princess: "Do you believe this?"

Li Qingluo: ...

I almost believed it.

Zong Zheng Xingyao was very disappointed: "My third sister died in Daliang, and my sixth brother's legs were completely lost in Daliang, leaving him disabled."

"Father was so afraid that he didn't even dare to condemn Daliang."

"How can I dare to expect him to support me in the future?"

"Marrying to the Western Regions is a dead end."

The Seventh Princess walked away with heavy steps, looking as pale as death.

Li Qingluo was also helpless.

Zong Zheng Xingyao was right. She had to find ways to save her own life first.

Duan Rongshi had not returned yet, and the cowardly yet cruel Emperor of Chu was probably going to take action against him.

Sure enough, Li Qingluo had just fallen asleep that night when the imperial edict arrived at Qianyuan Palace.

"Madam General, His Majesty would like you to come over. Please."
