The queen stammered these words intermittently, then closed her eyes and let the tears flow freely.

Emperor Yong threw the man to the ground fiercely, and the anger in his eyes seemed to be even more intense.

If Fu Ying was his child, the Queen would definitely not have such an expression.

But now it seems that she is clearly not!

Emperor Yong suddenly remembered that five years ago, before the Queen sealed the palace gate herself, Duke Yingguo was ordered to enter the harem.

A month later, the queen suddenly had a big quarrel with him and asked to be sealed off from the palace.

He had not left the palace for five years.

At that time, he thought that the queen was so confused because she was angry, and he just needed to let her calm down.

But now it seems that he is the one who was taken advantage of.

Everyone knew that the queen was conferred the title of palace maiden because she had angered him, and even he thought so.

But now I know that even before she sealed the palace, she was thinking about her family.

Not a single ounce of truth was revealed.

Until today, the prince has been poisoned by a Gu, and needs the blood of his closest relatives to cure the poison!

The queen knew she could no longer hide it, so she told the truth!

Emperor Yong's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was trembling.

For more than ten years, he had been training the crown prince for the country, but it turned out that he was not his own?

The prince of a country whom he taught so carefully turned out to be a product of their Fu family's substitution. If Zhong Ning had not gone to the Sifang Guild Hall and made a big fuss, he would have learned the method of inducing poison.

So does the Murong family have to change their surname to Fu?

Emperor Yong couldn't imagine it and sat limply on the dragon throne, powerless.

After a long moment, he sighed heavily, "Tell me, who is my child?"

The queen knelt on the ground, looking broken and helpless like a fallen leaf. She bit her lips until they turned white, clenched her fingers tightly, and tears fell down her face, but she never uttered a word.

"At this point, do you still want to lie to me?" Emperor Yong asked helplessly.

The queen's face turned even paler, and then she shook her head and whispered, "No, I don't know..."

have no idea.....

Emperor Yong's anger was aroused once again. He looked at the Queen in disbelief, extremely disappointed:

"You don't know? The child was taken away by your Fu family. You tell me you don't know? That's my child, mine. How dare you, the Fu family, deceive the emperor like this?"

The queen shrank back and knelt a little, her head lowered even more.

Zhong Ning was so frightened by the scene in front of him that he dared not speak.

Crown Prince Murong Fu could no longer bear the double blow from both inside and outside, and fainted.

The hall was filled with fury and no one dared to say a word, fearing that the emperor's wrath would be directed upon them the next moment.

Until the chief eunuch Su Qi suddenly entered the hall and cautiously reported: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Black Dragon Guard, Si Qiyu, requests an audience. He said he has something important to report!"

Emperor Yong roared angrily, "No! Tell him to come back again!"

Su Qi was startled, but she smiled and said, "I came back like this, but Master Qi said that the matter is urgent and he needs to see the emperor!"

Qi Yu was standing at the palace gate at this time, feeling uneasy.

It's not just because the three most important criminals were attacked, but also because of the truth he discovered.

He also suddenly learned that the queen had left the palace, the emperor was furious, the prince was affected, and even Zhong Ning was trapped in the palace.

Whether it is life or death is unknown.

Although he believed that Zhong Ning could protect himself no matter where he was with his strength, this was the imperial palace after all. How could one person fight against thousands of people?

So, even though there was not enough evidence and he only had a glimpse of the truth, he still came.

He was the one who brought the person into the palace. Even if he really caused a big disaster, he should be allowed to plead for mercy!

Not long after, Su Qi came out of the palace, looking rather pale and miserable. Seeing Qi Yu, she was furious. "Master Qi, His Majesty is furious, and I was almost implicated by you!"

Qi Yu immediately returned the greeting, then pulled out a gold ingot from his sleeve and quietly put it into Su Qi's hand. "Excuse me, eunuch. Does His Majesty have any instructions?"

Su Qi put the gold in her arms with satisfaction, then narrowed her eyes and replied, "Your Majesty was unwilling to see you at first, but it was because I risked my life to speak up for Master Qi that His Majesty finally relented. Please come in, Master Qi!"

Qi Yu bowed deeply again, then turned and walked towards the hall.

Entering the hall, one could clearly sense the heavy and stagnant atmosphere. Qi Yu entered with his head lowered, then knelt on the ground to pay his respects. "Your humble servant pays respects to His Majesty, to the Empress, and to Princess Zhaohua!"

There was silence in the hall. Qi Yu lowered his head and did not dare to move rashly!

Emperor Yong snorted coldly, as if calming down his anger, and then said, "Get up? What is it that you must report now?"

Qi Yu stood up calmly, bowed, and reported, "Yesterday, when the palace banquet was held, my Black Dragon Guard's secret cell was suddenly attacked!"

"Of the three prisoners held in the cell, two are dead and one is injured! Among them was Miss Yang who died accidentally!"

Emperor Yong: ???

There was a loud bang as Emperor Yong slammed his hand on the imperial desk. "Who is it? How dare you be so presumptuous?"

Qi Yu quietly looked up at Emperor Yong's expression, then glanced at Zhong Ning. Seeing that she was unharmed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that when I was escorting the princess to the capital, we were ambushed along the way? Among those ambushed were the controlled Niulanshan bandits, as well as soldiers who had infiltrated the bandits!"

"I sent the Black Dragon Guards to investigate and interrogated Yang Batian and others. We learned that the person who mobilized the soldiers was Zheng Fu, the head of the Datong Prefecture."

"Zheng Fu's brother-in-law is a Jinwu Captain in the Yongwei Camp outside Datong Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong's eyes brimmed with anger. He suppressed his anger and asked, "Then, who instigated Zheng Fu to dare to attack my princess?"

"From what I have found so far, the person in Kyoto who has contact with Zheng Fu is a member of the Cheng'en Marquisate, and the people behind the Cheng'en Marquisate..."

Qi Yu was silent for a moment, then continued:

"According to the intelligence gathered by the Black Dragon Guards, Zheng Fu only thought that the person I was escorting was Princess Zhaoyang, so his covert attack was always aimed at Princess Zhaoyang."

"According to my analysis, Princess Zhaoyang was about to marry the Western Rong. Anyone attacking Princess Zhaoyang at this time must be someone in the court who wants to hinder the marriage the most!"

"Your Majesty, think carefully. Who would least want Princess Zhaoyang to marry into the Western Rong and gain the support of such a powerful force?"

Qi Yu stopped talking here!

Emperor Yong frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Murong Fu on the other side of the bed seemed to be tortured by the poisonous insect and was in great pain. Even though he fainted, he couldn't help but moan!

Emperor Yong's face grew darker, and his hand, tightly gripping the tea bowl, turned increasingly pale.

Who else could it be?

Who else could it be?

If Zhaoyang marries into the Western Rong, it will bring the power of the Western Rong to the side of the Second Prince Murong Yun, which will directly affect the status of the Crown Prince!
