She gritted her teeth and swallowed all her resentment and grievances.

She said respectfully, "I'll withdraw first. If the Empress has any instructions, please let her know!"

After saying that, she walked quickly towards the pavilion not far away.

The Queen asked Lin Yiwan to bring some offerings and place them all in front of the tombstone.

She walked around the grave and began to cry bitterly.

Concubine Rong and Lin Yiwan tried to persuade her, but to no avail.

Mrs. Luo, who was sitting in the pavilion, felt upset. She didn't understand whether the Queen was really acting or just pretending to miss her. Huo Jun'er had been dead for many years, and she only remembered to pay tribute to her now?

Suddenly, she saw the queen faint from crying.

Her whole body tensed up and she ran over quickly.

She anxiously asked, "What happened to the Queen?"

Rongpin quickly replied, "She fainted from crying so hard that she was so upset. She kept saying she wanted to see Madam Luoxian's coffin because she was worried it had been destroyed!"

Madam Luo refused without hesitation: "No, who would dig a grave in broad daylight? Hurry and carry the Empress back, so she won't get hurt in this evil place!"

Luo Feng also spoke up immediately: "The Queen only said that she came to pay tribute to my mother. Now that the tribute is over, please return to the capital and don't disturb her peace anymore!"

Unexpectedly, the Queen forced herself to speak: "No, I won't leave. I must see Jun'er before I leave. If you refuse to dig up the grave so I can see Jun'er, then go and ask the Emperor!"

Madam Luo was so frightened that she was shaking all over. She never expected that the Queen would actually want to dig up the grave!

no! Absolutely not!

She quickly winked at Luo Feng, and he knelt down before the Queen and said, "Queen, how can you abuse your power to oppress others? My mother has been dead for many years. Why are you disturbing her peace?"

The Queen looked at Luo Feng in disappointment: "Luo Feng, do you remember how your mother died? Don't you know how strong she was before? How could she suddenly fall ill? And die so quickly?"

There was a flash of intense struggle in Luo Feng's eyes. Of course, he also wondered why his mother's condition took a turn for the worse, but he saw how much suffering his father and aunt were in at the time.

He began to speak, "Empress, the palace physician has recorded the cause of my mother's death. She suffered from an incurable disease. As her son, I have no objection to this!"

As smart as the queen is, how could she not understand what Luo Feng meant.

That is, as your biological son, I have no doubts, and as an outsider, you have no right to interfere.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Luo Feng, you are not worthy of being your mother's son!"

Luo Feng's eyes immediately turned red. He angrily questioned, "What do you mean, Queen? When my mother was seriously ill, I served her bedside every day. I watched with my own eyes as my aunt fed her bowl after bowl of medicine. How can I not be worthy of being her son?"

The Queen spoke without hesitation, "Since she's been given the medicine, why hasn't your mother's condition improved at all? Instead, she's getting worse and even weaker?"

Luo Feng tried to argue: "She is very ill!"

The Queen gritted her teeth and shook her head: "I don't believe it. During that time, I was in a daze because of the pain of losing my son. Now I have figured it out. I want to see Jun'er's coffin. No one of you can stop me!"

Without hesitation, she quickly shouted, "Liang Shi!"

As her voice fell, many secret guards wearing silver masks appeared in front of everyone.

The Queen ordered in a deep voice: "Capture the Luo family, go down to the tomb passage and carry Jun'er's coffin out!"

Madam Luo immediately shouted, "Empress, as the queen of a country, you cannot do such a thing that damages your virtue!"

The Queen sneered: "I don't care whether it's a loss of virtue or not. I just want to seek justice for Jun'er and find out the real cause of her death!"

Madam Luo turned and glared at Liang Shi fiercely: "The Queen is confused, are you guys going to be foolish too? Digging up people's graves will bring you divine punishment!"

Liang Shi slowly spoke: "I only follow the orders of the Empress and the Emperor. Even if I am punished by heaven, I will accept it!"

Without further hesitation, he quickly ordered people to open the tomb passage.

Mrs. Luo screamed angrily, "Luo Feng, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and stop them at all costs!"

Just as Luo Feng was about to rush over, Lin Yiwan grabbed his arm.

She lowered her voice and said, "Luo Feng, the Queen will give you an explanation, believe me!"

When Luo Feng saw her eyes, he suddenly remembered how she was strategizing in the charity hall.

Yes, she and the Queen would never do anything without a purpose!

They must have had evidence, which is why they carried the coffin and dug the grave.

He turned to look at Madam Luo, who had lost her usual dignified and delicate demeanor, and said, "If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. The Queen just wants to check on my mother's coffin. Let her do it!"

Mrs. Luo was stunned, with cold sweat dripping down her forehead.

Seeing that she was surrounded by secret guards, she regretted not bringing more people with her. Otherwise, she would have to protect the tomb.

Just when she was feeling anxious, Liang Shi had already emerged from the tomb passage. He said with a horrified look on his face, "Empress, there is no body of Madam Luo in the coffin. Go and have a look!"

Not only did the Queen's expression change suddenly, but even Lin Yiwan was stunned.

However, Luo Feng was faster. He stumbled into the tomb passage and rushed to the coffin.

When he saw that there was only a piece of clothing inside, he said with horror: "How could this happen? Where is my mother's body? Why is it gone?"

The Queen was also helped in. She frowned and asked, "Liang Shi, how did you find that there was no body in the coffin?"

Liang Shi replied with a complicated expression, "I felt something was wrong when I was carrying the coffin. A guard next to me accidentally tripped and the coffin lid fell down with a bang. I then saw that there was no body inside!"

Lin Yiwan quickly stepped forward to inspect it. Frowning, she said, "There's never been a body in here. In other words, it's been an empty coffin ever since it was placed in the grave!"

Luo Feng shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, I saw my mother buried with my own eyes, she was in the coffin, there must be a mistake, did you hide my mother's body? Give it back to me, give it back to me!"

He shook Liang Shi's arm hard, his face full of tears.

Liang Shi said in a deep voice: "Mr. Feng, you are a smart person and should be able to tell whether there is a corpse in the coffin. Don't deceive yourself anymore!"

The Queen quickly calmed down and said, "This is a serious matter. Liang Shi, please send someone to call Luo Lin over immediately. I want to ask him where he hid Jun'er's body!"

Not long after, Luo Lin and Luo Yan hurried over.

He never expected that it was just a simple sacrifice, but even the body was lost.
