"Oh? "Wan-Er, is something the matter?" the Queen asked with interest.
After she heard that, she took a deep breath and said, "Esteemed wangfei, Wan-Er was fortunate enough to receive King Jing's invitation to come to the Celestial Maiden Lake to play. However, she unexpectedly discovered that the leader of the hidden guards beside the prince was actually not some hidden guard, but …" It should be in the midst of a coma! "
"The waters are long?" The empress did not show it on the surface, but she was furious.
Damn it! It was no wonder that Emperor Shang, who had never been a dark guard before, would suddenly bring such a person with him. No wonder that precious little fox girl Yan'er was able to stay safe and sound! So it was a premeditated plan!
"Do you know about this, Crown Princess?" The Queen frowned and looked at Shangguan Yun.
When Shangguan Yun heard this, she nodded: "I do know about your words, but I think it's better to hide it for now and wait for your decision."
Shangguan Yun's brow drooped slightly, her hands placed in front of her, a respectful and obedient look, she couldn't find a single flaw. However, only the empress, who was somewhat similar to her, could know how obedient she was.
Good? Humph! If Shangguan Yun was obedient, how could she have caused such a commotion?
Now that he knew he couldn't hold her in anymore, he decided to rely on her.
What was she supposed to do now? She might have already done something in secret before this, but it should have been a failure, right?
"The one who suffered the most in this matter was you, the Crown Princess. You can do whatever you want."
The empress's attitude was indifferent as she pushed the matter to the side.
The Crown Princess thought it was bad! It seems like the empress is angry! Shangguan Yun quickly kneeled on the ground as she thought of this, and said with grievance, "Imperial Mother! You're the only one who can help me right now. Shui Long is now under the protection of the King of Scene and has His Highness' favor. He might even be involved with the Third Marquis. How could I be able to deal with such a woman? "
"If that's not the case, then why did he make a move back then?" The Empress sighed.
"I, I just don't want to see His Highness being bewitched by her again." His Highness has already done too many things that he shouldn't have done for that woman. If that woman doesn't die, sooner or later, His Highness will lose everything he has now for her. "
"Bastard!" How can you say anything about the crown prince? " The Queen was furious.
"Imperial Mother, you know whether what I said is true or not. Queen Mother, everything that I have done is for the sake of His Highness the Crown Prince. " As Shangguan Yun spoke, she began to cry.
The empress looked at Shangguan Yun and thought for a long time. Then she said, "Men, bring the leader of the Dark Guard here. Also, bring King Jing as well. If you wish to pass on my words, then please, your majesty. "
The empress gave three orders in a row.
The guards outside all left when they heard this.
The Queen looked at Shangguan Yun, her gaze cold, "Seeing that you are thinking for the Crown Prince's sake, I won't make things difficult for you this time. But Shangguan Yun, don't forget your duty.
"As the princess consort, if you can't be magnanimous, you won't be far from being abandoned."
"Yes, chenqie will remember that." Shangguan Yun bowed respectfully.
When the Queen saw Shangguan Yun being so obedient, she did not make things difficult for her.
After all, to her, and Shangguan Yun, right now, the biggest enemy was Shui Ruo.
Touching her finger and looking at the white jade ring on her finger, the Queen's gaze turned complicated.
She had never dreamt of such a day. Her son would follow the same path as her father, willing to give up everything for a woman.
Back then, the Emperor did not hesitate to give up the throne for that woman. After she found out, he killed that woman without a care for anything else. Only then did she put this matter on hold.
Otherwise, the person currently sitting on the throne wouldn't be the current emperor, much less one of these princes. Instead … To this day, there was no one with any status.
No matter what, he couldn't let the Crown Prince do something so ridiculous!
As she thought about it, the empress's gaze turned murderous.
The guards were quick to act. In addition, Shui Ruo was now in the cabin of the Night Emperor Shang. Very soon, he was brought in.
When these people went to bring the water leisurely, Shui Ruo was enjoying the scenery of the lake, seeing the guards come over, his heart secretly said not good. However, he didn't say anything.
Once they were in the main hall, Shui Long looked at the Queen sitting upright in her chair, then looked at Crown Prince Shangguan Yun, and then at Xiang Wan'er, who was not looking at him. He roughly understood in his heart.
It seemed that Wan-Er's final decision was to tell him about her.
"What about Night Emperor Shang?" The empress looked at Shui Long alone and felt dissatisfied.
"The emperor is currently conversing with His Highness, so …" The guard looked at the empress with a troubled expression.
With King Jing?
The empress's expression changed.
"Yes, Empress."
"I understand. You can leave now." The Queen waved her hand, signaling the guards to leave. Then, his gaze landed on Shui You's body as he coldly asked, "You are the King Jing's Dark Guard?"
"No." Shui Yuehan's attitude was indifferent, and as she spoke, she had already taken off the mask on her face.
Since Shangguan Yun and Xiang Wan'er were both here now, it meant that they had already known about it. As such, even if they tried to force their way through, it was useless. They might as well freely admit it and not be looked down upon by them.
As he thought about this, Shui Ruo raised his head up gracefully.
There was no expression on his face, but his adorable face was revealed.
The empress had seen water many times, but she had only taken a casual glance at it. Looking at it now, it was quite breathtaking.
"No wonder the crown prince likes you. This way, even if I see you, I will still pity you. Moreover, you know what's good for you. Even I find it hard to not like you."
The Queen sneered.
Shui Ruo heard her and raised his head, his gaze indifferent. "Esteemed Empress is joking. You must hate me now, right? "After all, I'm the one who caused the empress to lose her royal grandson."
"Humph!" You're quite tactful. "Since that's the case, you should know what I'm going to do next, right?"
"Kill me?"
Shui Yuehan asked with a smile.
"Exactly." The Queen ordered as soon as she finished speaking, "Shui Ruo's daughter has long lived. She has repeatedly offended the imperial family and also committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor. Someone, seize her and execute her on the spot!"
"Hold on!"
Just as the empress finished speaking, the anxious voice of a man could be heard from outside.
As his voice faded, a man in a dark red robe slowly walked in.
His appearance was feminine and feminine, but it was hard to conceal his arrogance. He slowly walked into the great hall, walked to Shui You's side, and hugged her in his arms.
"Imperial Mother, please reconsider this matter."
The tone of Night Emperor Yan's voice was ice-cold, not in a request, but in a warning.
The empress knew her child very well, so the moment Night Emperor Yan appeared, the empress's heart turned cold.
From the looks of it, his conscience was not worse than his obsession with this woman. However, because of this reason, this woman could not be allowed to live!
As she thought about it, the empress's expression changed slightly as she said, "How can I not be certain? Someone, seize that woman for me! "
"If you want to kill her, then kill me first!" The Crown Prince stood in front of Shui Yuehan anxiously, looking at the Queen with no intention of backing down.
Shui Ruo was protected by Night Emperor Yan behind him, feeling slightly surprised in his heart. The only reason she dared to speak to the empress so forcefully was because she knew a secret.
Just now, someone delivered a slip of paper to her hand. She didn't know who it was.
The secret written on that slip of paper was enough for her to turn the tables and that woman Shangguan Yun to die.
Moreover, where was the Emperor? Once she knew of the current situation, he would definitely come to save her. That was why she dared to be so stubborn.
However, she never dared to dream that this man would appear at this time.
For her, he stood against his princess consort and his mother.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince …" You don't have to do this for me. Even without your protection, I can still get away with it. After all, I didn't do anything. "
Shui Lengchuan looked at Nightmare and spoke with a complicated tone.
She really couldn't owe this man a favor anymore.
"I know you haven't done anything, and I know you have ways to get rid of your crimes, but I can't leave you behind. If I did, I would never be able to face you again in my life. This is even more difficult than having me die. "
The Night Emperor looked at Shui Ruo, his tone gentle.
Having said so, Night Emperor Yan's gaze fell upon the empress, who had a dark complexion. "Imperial Mother, this son has never been in the same room with Shangguan Yun, so how could I have a child?"
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" The empress's expression changed drastically as she looked at Night Emperor Yan.
"What I said was the truth. If Imperial Mother doesn't believe it, you can look at her arm. The palace is still there, so that is the best proof."
Night Emperor Yan looked at the empress and said coldly.
The Queen knew in her heart that perhaps what the Crown Prince said was true, but in this situation, he actually revealed it. The guards outside listened, and no one knew who would spread the news, but after many years of marriage, they couldn't get married.
"My son, there are some things that I should say, and some things that I shouldn't say." The Queen's gaze was complicated.
However, at this time, the sound of sobbing could be heard.
"Sorry." When Night Emperor saw Shangguan Yun cry, a complicated look appeared in his eyes. "I tried to forgive you, but in the end, I failed. If you had not reached this step, and if you could just let this matter go, I would not want to do this either. "
"Your Highness." Shangguan Yun's voice was hoarse, the pain pierced through his heart. But it wasn't his apology that hurt, it was his eventual departure from her.
In the future, he would never get close to her again, right?
After all …!
Shangguan Yun slowly rolled up her sleeves, there were no traces of damage on her white arms.
Both of their arms were exposed in the air, and at the same time, everyone's expression changed.
The empress saw this and found it hard to believe. She felt mixed feelings, all sorts of conjectures and guesses springing up in her mind.
As for the Crown Prince?
His face was ashen, and he had a silent appearance, as if a storm was about to break.
Shui Ruo was also slightly surprised. Even though he knew that this woman had already lost that thing, he never thought that she would take the initiative to do so.
"You, what are you doing?" The empress's voice trembled, but it was unknown if it was due to nervousness or anger.
Shangguan Yun laughed self-deprecatingly when she heard that, "I still remember when chenqie first met Your Highness. Your Highness was extremely disgusted with chenqie. He wholeheartedly believed that it was his concubine's fault, and had caused His Highness to be unable to foresee the true fate of his daughter.
After that, His Highness left his concubine alone in her bridal chamber. For many years, he left his concubine alone in her room.
This was a torture and an insult to his concubine. But, chenqie loves this kind of Your Highness.
No matter what, he would not compromise. No matter what, he would carry out his own path. Chenqie was infatuated with His Highness.
Women would always be confused. Chenqie was the same. "So, in the end, chenqie was unable to hold it in. When His Highness is drunk, I'll …" Shangguan Yun started crying as she said this, "Does Your Highness still remember what happened a few days ago? You went to the side concubine the empress sent over. But what about before?
His Highness had touched his concubine and forgotten about it.
That child was real. It's his majesty's. "
Shangguan Yun cried as she spoke.
When the empress heard Shangguan Yun's words, the heavy burden in her heart was lifted. Thinking about it, how could Shangguan Yun be so stupid as to put on a green hat for the crown prince?
Furthermore, even if there really was one, it would be impossible for him to admit it in front of everyone.
"Mine? I touched you? " If there was anyone who was the most dumbstruck at this moment, it would definitely be Nightmare.
Looking at Shangguan Yun's smooth and smooth arms, and her wronged and wronged look, Ye Huangyan couldn't find the slightest hint of falsehood in her words.
But... But he remembered that he did not touch this woman!
