Seeing that the oil lamp was about to burn out, the palace maid hurriedly came to add the oil lamp. After adding the oil lamp for the second time, Jiang Keji finally returned to the hall and knelt in front of the emperor.

"Your majesty, this general has come to report!"

Instantly, the air in the hall grew slightly colder.

"How is it?" Zhou Chengdi asked.

"When we return to the emperor, other than the empress dowager's palace, this one and Eunuch Feng had a careful search of all the other halls. Finally, they found some things in the imperial concubine's palace, so this one couldn't make up his mind, so he reported it to the emperor." Jiang Keji nodded and said.

A good Imperial Consort?

Everyone was stunned as they looked at the imperial concubine sitting next to the emperor. The empress's lips curled up as she slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

Imperial Concubine Liang quickly kneeled down and said, "Your majesty, this …" "Chenqie …"

A trace of coldness gathered in the emperor's eyes as he said, "My beloved concubine, what unusual things did you put in the palace?"

Imperial Concubine Liang's face paled as she spoke with some trepidation, "This concubine doesn't know what it is."

Zhou Cheng Emperor stood up and walked towards the direction of the Lin Hua Palace with a sullen expression. The Xiao family's father and son looked at each other as they smiled and followed him towards the Lin Hua Palace.

Even Yan Qing led Lian Xiyue and Lian Fu forward together. Lian Yan Qing instructed in a low voice, "No matter what happens later, the two of you must not speak too much. Do you understand?" From the looks of it, tonight would be a night of blood and blood.

"Yes, Father." Lian Xiyue and Lian Meng replied.

When they arrived at Lin Hua Palace, the emperor strode in and stood in the middle of the hall. Two eunuchs hurriedly moved chairs for the emperor to sit on, and Imperial Concubine Liang knelt in front of the emperor. Feng Yunzheng rushed over with a face full of haste, and knelt beside Imperial Concubine Liang — —

"Father."

Zhou Chengdi ignored them and asked, "Jiang Keji, tell me, what did you find in Concubine Liang's palace?"

Feng Qianyue stood at the very back, looking at Feng Yunzheng's back, and said in his heart: Little Brother Ninth Emperor, I originally didn't plan for you to die so early. It was you who forced me to do this.

"Elder sister …" Unconsciously, Lian Lian Fang Xing touched Lian Ruyue's fingertip; it was so cold that it felt like it was soaking in an icehouse.

Lian Ruyue lightly shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

She also looked at Feng Yunzheng. In the hazy night, his profile became even more handsome — —

Ninth Prince, this is the moment! He might as well change the fate of his previous life!

"Your majesty, this general discovered that Imperial Concubine Liang had buried something beneath this locust. Without Your majesty's order, this general wouldn't dare to make a move." Jiang Keji walked up to the tree and knelt down.

Immediately, everyone's gazes shot towards the black locust — —

The empress finally let out a soft sigh. She would rather have me be the one to blame than the rest of the world!

"Dig!" Although Zhou Chengdi's voice was low, it carried an intimidating aura.

"Yes sir!" Jiang Keji indicated that he was ready. Several guards began to dig around the root of the black locust.

Imperial Concubine Liang's two hands were tightly clasped together, her fingertips turning white. She turned her head to look at Feng Yunzheng, but Feng Yunzheng quietly shook his head and held her trembling hand.

The empress, Xu Xianfei, Feng Defei, and even Shufei stared fixedly at the black locust. Some were worried, while some were expectant —

As Xiao Zhenhai looked at Feng Yunzheng's still calm appearance, the flames of vengeance burned fiercely in his heart — — The Ninth Prince's arrangement has caused me, Xiao Zhenhai, to lose my trust in the Emperor. Today, I will give you the sin of a voodoo Gu, and catch you all in one fell swoop!

eighth prince Feng Ye's intuition was about to experience a drastic change. His eyes looked back and forth between Feng Qianyue and Linyue, searching Feng Yunzheng's face — —

This time, he didn't know a thing.

"Your majesty has dug it out!" Over there, the guard shouted, holding the loot in his hand. He hurried to the emperor and placed it on the floor of the hall.

The smiling empress's face stiffened as she took a step forward, staring intently at the loot! Xu Xianfei looked at the empress with a disappointed expression, a trace of contempt appearing at the corner of her lips.

At the same time, Feng Qianyue and the Xiao family's father and son also changed their expressions! Feng Qianyue looked around and found that there was no sign of Fang Yingyu!

"What is this?" The Emperor looked at the black block of wood in front of him and asked as he stretched out his hand to touch it.

"Reporting to the emperor, this is …" Grand Concubine Liang's mind was in a mess when she suddenly saw this piece of black wood.

"Reporting to royal father, this is a piece of iron birch wood. Legend has it that burying this tree underground can cure diseases, so Imperial Mother knew that Imperial Father had caught wind of the cold recently, so she ordered someone to find some iron birch wood. She even asked Spiritual Master Xuanwei to make some for the wood." Feng Yunzheng took over and said.

"Oh, I see." Since Feng Yunzheng mentioned that Daoist Master Xuanwei had also done this, the emperor nodded. His face revealed a relieved expression as he said, "Esteemed wangfei, get up. You're very considerate."

"Nonsense!" The empress suddenly grew angry. "Your majesty, someone must be secretly cursing the sudden illness tomorrow. This is the first time chenqie has heard of the Iron Birch Tree expelling evil. Your majesty mustn't be fooled!"

"Even if someone curses the crown prince, how can Imperial Mother be so sure that it was my mufei who did it?" Feng Yunzheng raised his eyes to look at the empress and asked.

"The other palaces are fine, but we found something unusual in the Linghua Palace. Also, Yun Zheng, I've noticed that you were the only one out of everyone here just now who didn't come from the Primordial Imperial Hall. You only rushed in after we all entered the Blue Flower Palace, what were you doing just now? " The empress stared intently at Feng Yunzheng, overbearing and overbearing. She had finally laid a trap with great difficulty. She wanted to involve Feng Yunzheng and Imperial Concubine Liang in it, how could she be willing to give up so easily?

Moreover, whether or not her Ming'er could be saved from the Eastern Palace would all depend on one move!

"This son understands mother's worry for the crown prince, but I request mother not to force the blame on my mother's wife." Feng Yunzheng protected the lord as she spoke.

"Empress, the heavens and earth can be seen for themselves. Chenqie has never performed such an evil art." Imperial Concubine Li also defended herself.

"Empress, there is no proof that this was done by a good concubine. Don't spout nonsense." The emperor frowned and said to the empress in displeasure.

"Your majesty!" The empress bent her knees before the emperor and said, "Please calm your anger, Your Majesty. Your concubine isn't trying to pester you. It's just that tonight's Eastern Palace is abnormal. Your concubine must investigate everything thoroughly."

The empress was unwilling to see the plan fail. Even if it failed, she couldn't let Imperial Concubine Liang and Feng Yunzheng escape clean.

"How do you want to find out?" the Emperor asked.

The empress stood up and looked at Feng Yunzheng. "Yun Zheng, you haven't answered. Where did you go?"

"Your son …" Feng Yunzheng paused and looked at the empress. Seeing the light that was slowly being emitted from the empress's eyes, he could not help but sigh. What a crazy and pitiful woman.
