Facing his questioning, the Queen Mother remained calm and snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty has made such an absurd decision. As the Queen Mother of the Great Chu, I should go and comfort Miss Su. Could it be that Your Majesty suspects that I am instigating this?"

If the Queen Mother had really gone to comfort him, Su An would not be in the state he is in now.

Chu Yi knew it very well, but he had no evidence, so he could only sneer and grit his teeth.

He swung his sleeves violently, strode to Su An, leaned over to support himself, stared at her intently, and threatened with an extremely gloomy expression: "Since you are dead, there is no need for your family to live."

"Come here, leave the city immediately, rob and kill the Su family, and don't leave any of them alive!"

If it were any other day, Su An would have jumped out of bed, pointed at his nose and scolded him for being despicable.

But at this time, Su An was still lying peacefully.

Get up! Aren't you a sharp-tongued person who loves scolding me? Why are you playing dumb today?

Chu Yi roared secretly, veins on his forehead bulged out, anger and grief intertwined in his heart, almost swallowing him up.

The leader of the imperial guards was about to leave after receiving the order, but was stopped by the queen mother.

"Wait! Su An was forced into the palace by His Majesty. She was unwilling to compromise, and she also didn't want to implicate her family, so she chose to end her life. Now that His Majesty has forced Su An to death, does he still want her to suffer in the afterlife?"

"Besides, the Su family has not done anything that violates the laws of our dynasty. Even Your Majesty has no right to decide their life or death."

The Queen Mother's words were sonorous and powerful, and she straightened her back, as if she was determined to fight Chu Yi to the end.

Li Wanyue clenched her sleeves and responded at the right time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if you really execute the Su family today for such a trivial matter, if this word gets out, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the people all over the world. Please think twice."

What a decision without authority!

If the Queen Mother hadn't instigated it, if the Su family hadn't made Su An hesitate, how could Su An have ended up in such a desperate situation?

It's all their fault. They were the ones who killed Su An.

Damn it, damn it! Damn it to everyone who stood in his way!

Chu Yi's eyes widened in anger, his fingers clenched into fists, and the smile on his face was cold and sinister.

But now is not the time to kill them.

He suppressed his inner anger, took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm, saying: "My mother is right, I was impulsive. Since he is dead, let's choose a day for burial."

After saying this, he looked at Su An for the last time and turned to leave.

After watching Chu Yi's figure disappear outside the palace gate, the empress dowager finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her hand holding the handkerchief loosened a little.

She turned around and glanced at the concubines in the palace and said in a cold voice.

"Today's events concern the majesty of the imperial family and must not be spread outside. Also, I will take care of Miss Su's funeral. If there is nothing else, please withdraw!"

Li Wanyue and the others responded in agreement and retreated with their heads lowered.

The hall immediately returned to silence, with only the bed curtains swaying slightly in the wind, making a slight sound.

Three days later, it was the day of Su An's burial.

Su An, who was lying in the coffin, suddenly took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and gradually regained consciousness.

But as soon as she woke up, she was blinded by a flash of cold light.

Looking at the dagger that was only an inch away from her eyeball, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, her blood instantly froze, and she looked at the person who came in shock.

"How could it be you?"

Hearing this, Li Wanyue chuckled, put the dagger back, and gestured back and forth on her face.

The cold touch made Su An swallow his saliva and his body became stiff.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Li Wanyue's eyes flashed with a fierceness. She raised her eyebrows and leaned close to her ear, saying with a smug smile, "Su An, how do you think the Queen Mother came up with the idea of ​​faking your death to conceal the truth?"

Su An's breathing stagnated, and he frowned and asked back.

"Is it you?"

"Yes, it's me. You are as smart as ever!"

Hearing this, Li Wanyue covered her lips and laughed a few times.

Su An was shocked and his eyelids twitched.

"It's good enough that you don't harm me, why would you help me? What are you thinking?"

Li Wanyue's eyes turned cold, and her tone was stern: "You are quite self-aware. I really didn't want to help you. I just wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of you. I didn't expect the Queen Mother to believe it and successfully persuaded you to take the fake death drug."

"It seems that God is helping me, Su An. The prince can only be mine. No one else can get his hands on him!"

Hearing this, Su An felt a chill in his heart and managed to squeeze out a hint of sarcasm.

"It was you who was secretly having an affair with the Emperor and betrayed Fu Zhun first. What qualifications do you have to say this?"

These words successfully angered Li Wanyue. She snorted coldly, with murderous intent in her eyes.

"Shut up! I had no choice. The prince was just angry for a moment, but he will forgive me sooner or later. When he returns victorious, he will definitely marry me, and you will have no choice but to die in despair!"

"Bah! Dream on! Even if I die, Fu Zhun won't like you. I advise you to let me go as soon as possible!"

Su An struggled excitedly and cursed at Li Wanyue.

But her body had been tied up tightly with ropes by Li Wanyue long before she woke up, and she could not move.

Even if she tried her best, she couldn't break free.

The more fiercely she scolded, the more smugly Li Wanyue laughed.

Li Wanyue watched Su An's struggle coldly, holding her stomach with her hands, and slowly backed away. As she retreated, she waved to the people beside her with a grin.

"The auspicious time has arrived. It's time to bury the body. Seal the coffin!"

"Don't be lazy, nail this coffin shut for me!"

At the end, her tone was full of venom.

Su An's heart sank to the bottom. She watched the coffin lid in front of her slide over her head until it was completely closed, and the darkness swallowed her in an instant.

She struggled desperately, banging her body against the coffin and cursing continuously.

But there was no response.

After a jolt, the coffin suddenly fell down, followed by the crackling sound of the soil covering it.

As her voice grew weaker, she nearly collapsed, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes.

The pitch-black surroundings made her feel a little suffocated. She huddled together, pouting and muttering.

"Fu Zhun, where are you?"

After muttering for an unknown amount of time, Su An felt that breathing became difficult, and everything in front of her eyes seemed a little hazy, as if she was going to be suffocated in the next moment.

Just when she was in despair, there was a noise outside the coffin.

It sounded like someone was using something to pry a nail.

The sound of prying nails became clearer and clearer, and then a faint light came in and the coffin lid slowly moved away.

The fresh air rushed in, and Su An regained his sanity.

Her vision gradually became clear from blurry. After seeing the appearance of the person, she twisted her body excitedly and asked.
