C281 empress confrontation

It was already the fifth fragment of the night.

The emperor didn't sleep a wink the whole night and continued to stay by Duan Yunfei's side, unwilling to leave even a single step.

"Your majesty, you've already stayed here for the entire night. Why don't you go back and rest for a while?" There's an imperial physician guarding this place. " When Imperial Consort Yu saw Yuwen Di's bloodshot eyes, she truly could not bear to see Yuwen Di and advised him this.

Yuwen Di stretched out his hand to rub his glabella, then looked at Imperial Consort Yu and shook her head. Little Thirteen is still unconscious, and I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here with her. "

Yesterday, they were still alive and kicking, battling the officials in the imperial court, causing the civil and military officials to be rendered speechless. He had just received the emperor's order to command the two hundred thousand strong army. Who would have thought that in a single day's time, someone would poison him in his own courtyard, causing him to lie there unconscious.

Yuwen Di's brows tightly knitted together. He did not know how depressed and miserable Duan Yunfei must be feeling in her heart.

"Little Thirteen, this is all royal father's fault. It was only because royal father did not protect you well that he caused you to become like this." Yuwen Di tightly held onto Duan Yunfei's hand, and said those words with her head lowered, filled with guilt. Little Thirteen, royal father knows her wrongs, hurry up and open your eyes and look at royal father. "

Imperial Consort Yu, who was watching from the side, also felt very sad.

Back then in the palace, Imperial Consort Yu's status was low and she was always bullied. Only the Imperial Consort Duanshuo protected her from time to time, and she was then promoted to the position of imperial concubine. Therefore, after Imperial Consort Duanshuo passed away, she treated Duan Yunfei as her own daughter.

Now that Duan Yunfei had been poisoned and heavily injured to this point, the Imperial Consort Yu's heart did not feel good either.

"Your Majesty, the Thirteenth Princess was murdered. I hope that the Emperor will thoroughly investigate this matter and give this Thirteenth Princess justice. " The Imperial Consort Yu knelt down and spoke righteously to the Emperor.

The Emperor did not turn back, but extended his hand out to caress Duan Yunfei's bun. He choked with emotion before saying: "Little Thirteen, don't worry. As long as royal father is here, no matter who it is that wants to harm you, royal father will not let them go easily."

At that moment, someone outside the courtyard came in to report: The empress has arrived!

The Emperor, who was still seated on Duan Yunfei, did not budge and did not bother about the matter regarding the Empress's arrival.

Seeing that, the Imperial Consort Yu quickly walked out and saw the Queen's palanquin landing at the entrance of the Red Luan Courtyard.

"Greetings, esteemed empress." Imperial Consort Yu hurried over and bowed towards the empress.

The empress turned around and glanced at Imperial Consort Yu, then said expressionlessly, "Imperial Consort Yu came a long time ago."

Imperial Consort Yu didn't mind as she replied respectfully to the empress, "To reply esteemed Empress, Thirteenth Princess was suddenly poisoned tonight. When chenqie heard about this, she was truly worried, so she rushed over to take a look."

The empress had never liked the look of the Imperial Consort Yu, and was unwilling to talk to her again, so she walked straight into the house.

Yuwen Di accompanied Duan Yunfei and no matter who it was, they would not leave.

"Your majesty." The queen walked in and bowed to the emperor.

Yuwen Di looked at Duan Yunfei without blinking, and after a long period of silence, he leisurely asked, "Why is the empress here?"

The empress could naturally tell that the emperor was angry with her. He hurried over and explained to the emperor, "Your majesty, it's all because those servants in the palace weren't sensible and couldn't report the news in time. When chenqie heard that Thirteenth Princess was poisoned, she was extremely worried and hurried over. "

The Queen spoke as she walked towards Duan Yunfei's bedside. With an extremely worried look, she asked: "This Thirteenth Princess is perfectly fine, how did he get poisoned?"

"Wait." Without waiting for the empress to come over, Yuwen Di lifted his head and gave her a cold glance. Thirteen was poisoned and still doesn't know who the culprit is, so it's best for the empress not to come over. "

The Empress looked at Yuwen Di in shock. "Your Majesty's meaning is that you suspect that chenqie poisoned the Thirteenth Princess?"

"You know very well whether you have done these things or not." Yuwen Di responded to the empress's words, but he didn't hear even the slightest hint of anger or joy from his tone.

"Your majesty, this means that you suspect that your concubine has harmed the Thirteenth Princess." The Queen showed an expression of disbelief, and looked at Yuwen Di with teary eyes.

But Yuwen Di was not moved at all. He waved his hand at the empress and said impatiently: "Alright, you should leave. We want to stay here and properly accompany Thirteen."

The empress was about to continue speaking when Imperial Consort Yu whispered to the empress, "Esteemed empress, the emperor is currently grieving his deities for the Thirteenth Princess. Let's go out and wait."

The emperor's attitude was resolute, and he was unwilling to answer the empress for a long time.

Thinking up to here, the empress took a handkerchief from her sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around, and walked out the door.

Only after the empress and Imperial Consort Yu left did Xiao Yang finally be unable to hold back. He dropped to his knees in front of the emperor, kowtowed heavily, and said to the emperor in a low voice, "Your majesty, you have to avenge my princess."

Yuwen Di turned his head and sized Xiao Yang up. Seeing that her expression was strange, he asked her softly: "Xiao Yang, do you know who it is that wants to harm your Princess?"

Hearing Yuwen Di's question, Xiao Yang shook his head with all his might, not willing to say a single word.

Yuwen Di stood up immediately, and grabbed tightly onto Xiao Yang's wrist as he asked: "Tell me, who exactly poisoned your Princess, and who wanted her to die?"

Xiao Yang immediately began to cry, and continuously shook her head, "This servant doesn't dare to say."

"With me here, you don't have to be afraid. You only need to tell me who poisoned your princess. No matter who it is, I will definitely uphold justice for her. " Yuwen Di said to Xiao Yang from the side, and kept telling her not to be afraid.

Only then did Xiao Yang calm down, and he raised his head to look at the emperor and enunciated each word: "Your majesty, I really do not know who caused my family's young miss to die, but this ginseng soup was personally made by me, from production to presentation to the princess, I have only seen one person."

"Who?" The emperor's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.

"The fructus maids from the Sixth Princess Palace." Xiao Yang's tears flowed unceasingly, as he said to the emperor intermittently, "Only fructus came to the imperial kitchen to look for something and saw me, and even asked me what I was doing. After I had spoken to her, she quickly left. "

Xiao Yang replied as he heavily knocked his head on the ground, "As for the rest, this servant really doesn't know anything."
