Emperor Sheng An raised the corner of his lips in mockery: "Now that you mention it, I remember that you gave me two hundred thousand taels of silver in exchange for the opportunity for my daughter to enter the palace as a concubine!"
Luo Lin immediately understood and quickly replied, "This humble servant will not allow Luo Yan to enter the palace. This humble servant only hopes that the emperor will show mercy and forgive this humble servant this time!"
Luo Yan suddenly shouted anxiously: "Father, why did you go back on your word?"
Luo Lin gritted his teeth and said, "It's already this late, and you still want to enter the palace as a concubine? Your mother made a mistake in her duty, and now we all have to reflect on it in the mansion to comfort the spirit of my late wife in heaven!"
His words seemed to be full of love and sincerity, but to Emperor Sheng An's ears they sounded ridiculous.
If he had paid a little more attention to Huo Jun'er, she wouldn't have died so miserably.
Luo Yan bit her lips hard, her eyes filled with resentment and grievance.
She looked at Emperor Sheng An expectantly, trying to arouse his sympathy and heartache.
She thought that she was good-looking and talented, and that she would definitely impress the emperor.
However, not only did he not even glance at her, he even said in a deep voice: "Your daughter is not virtuous enough, how can she be qualified to enter the palace as a concubine?"
Luo Yan was completely shaken. What? The Emperor actually said that she was lacking in moral character?
She is so kind!
Those dirty things were done by my mother and Nanny Fan. What does it have to do with her?
She argued angrily, "Your Majesty, I refuse to obey. How can I be considered morally deficient? I was completely unaware of this matter from the beginning to the end!"
Madam Luo also pleaded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I am guilty of negligence, but Yan'er is truly pure and kind. Have you forgotten? One year, when refugees entered the capital, she personally went to distribute porridge and clothes. The people praised her very much and gave her the title of the most virtuous lady!"
How could Emperor Sheng An not remember this incident? At that time, several imperial censors wanted to ask for a title for her to completely confirm this title.
He refused on the grounds that there was no precedent and only gave some symbolic rewards.
Now that I think about it, I’m glad my account wasn’t banned.
Otherwise, we have to withdraw now. It feels really uncomfortable to slap ourselves in the face.
He said coldly, "She forced the pharmacy owner to death. Isn't that morally deficient?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
Lin Yiwan suddenly remembered that her uncle Lin Ran was still holding the owner of the pharmacy.
Could it be that the emperor has already received the news and Luo Yan is the mastermind behind this?
So what is her identity?
Just as she was confused, Luo Yan had already argued urgently: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? How come I don't understand?"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "Lin Ran previously arrested the owner of a pharmacy who was selling the deadly Poison of Bora. He had originally planned to interrogate him to reveal the real culprit, but because your maid saw him, he ran into a wall and died at night!"
Luo Yan argued, "I asked Liu'er to see him because I wanted to get some medicine, not because I wanted to force him to death. Your Majesty, you are really wronging me!"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "After all, you sent someone to see her, which means you are suspicious. Besides, you have the deadly Poison of Bo Luo in your house, so why did you go to him for it? Luo Yan, you can't get rid of it completely. The words "moral conduct" will be branded on you for life!"
Luo Yan collapsed on the ground in frustration, her face full of sadness.
Madam Luo had never expected that things would end up like this. She heard the emperor say that Nanny Fan would be torn into pieces by five horses, and she would be divorced by Luo Lin, and he would give Huo Jun'er poisoned wine to be buried with her!
No!
She finally became the mistress of the Luo family!
Who knows how much effort she has put in over the years to get to this position?
Why should she be buried with a bitch?
She clenched her fists tightly, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
She cried out in despair, "Empress, how could you treat me like this? Even if I was wrong, I don't deserve death!"
The queen's cold eyes fell on her, how dare she cry out for injustice?
How desperate Jun'er must have been when she fell into her hands!
She raised her hand and slapped Huo Nianyu hard in the face, causing blood to flow from the corner of her lips.
She raised her hand and grabbed Huo Nianyu's hair and said, "You still dare to complain? When you fed Jun'er those bowls of poison, did you know how much pain she felt?"
Even though Huo Nianyu's scalp was about to be ripped off, she still forced herself to shake her head and deny it: "I was kept in the dark. I am the most innocent. It's all the fault of that bitch, Madam Fan, who acted on her own!"
The Queen angrily retorted, "Bah! Save that for the King of Hell!"
She pushed Huo Nianyu to the ground and quickly stood up.
At this moment, Luo Yan quickly rushed to Huo Nianyu's side and helped her up: "Mother!"
Huo Nianyu suddenly reacted. She grabbed Luo Yan's wrist and begged, "Yan'er, go and beg the emperor, go and beg your father, and ask him to find a way to save my life!"
Luo Yan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Mother, I can't save you. Instead of begging and struggling like this, why don't you fulfill your daughter's wish for once!"
Huo Nianyu froze, mumbling in a daze, "Fulfill your wish? How can I fulfill your wish?"
Luo Yan murmured softly, "If you assassinate the queen right now and I get up to save her, wouldn't that mean I'm taking advantage of her life-saving grace?"
Huo Nianyu's eyes lit up immediately. His daughter was so smart!
As expected of a noble lady from a prominent family who had been taught by her since childhood, her scheming and methods were unmatched.
However, after a moment, she could no longer laugh.
She gained a chance to live for her daughter, but she herself had no way out!
Assassinate the queen and there will be no chance of survival!
She hasn't lived enough!
Noticing her struggling look, Luo Yan couldn't help but whisper, "Mother, this is your only chance to turn defeat into victory. If you miss it, you'll never get it again. Think carefully!"
A fierce struggle flashed in Huo Nianyu's eyes. She held Luo Yan's arm tightly and stabbed her sharp nails into her snow-white skin.
At this moment, Emperor Sheng An's stern voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Luo Lin, what are you still hesitating about? Why don't you quickly feed the poisoned wine to this sinful woman?"
Seeing Li Delu handing the poisoned wine to Luo Lin, Huo Nianyu began to tremble violently all over.
Luo Feng suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to avenge my mother and personally feed this cup of poisoned wine to the guilty woman!"
Emperor Sheng An nodded: "Okay, I agree!"
Seeing Luo Feng walking towards her with a wine glass in hand, Huo Nianyu's pupils contracted sharply.
She demanded in a hoarse voice, "Luo Feng, you want to poison the aunt who raised you with your own hands? How can you be so heartless?"
Luo Feng's eyes were full of mockery: "Conscience? Do you have one? Do you remember how my mother loved you when she was alive?"
Huo Nianyu bit her lip, a trace of guilt flashing across her pale face.
Luo Feng spoke again: "You don't remember, but I can remind you that when you came to the Luo Mansion, even your clothes were old, and you didn't even have many pieces of jewelry. It was my mother who bought you a complete set of jewelry and clothes!"
