“Seventh Prince is indeed clever. Do you think 1 would carry a corpse to the remote Cold Palace just to assassinate your high and mighty mother?” Su Yingxue rolled her eyes. The fact that anyone could believe such logic made her wonder about the upbringing of Seventh Prince, Chu Chengye.
“Su Yingxue! flow dare you say that! Rou’er…” Chu Chengye stared at the emaciated body carried by Su Yingxue, his eyes stinging. “Rou’er is your biological sister, and you can still be so ruthless to her? Su Yingxue, you wicked woman!”
“I didn’t kill her! If you want to know about Su Yurou’s death, you should ask the empress,” Su Yingxue replied with an enigmatic look in her eyes.
Previously, she had always suspected that Su Yurou had the support of Wu Dao, allowing her to evade the people from her Marquis’s Manor and appear in crucial positions.
However, it was truly unusual for the empress to arrive today!
And Lan Ling, who intercepted her on the way but let her go.
The matters in the palace were like a pile of tangled threads that couldn’t be cut and were chaotic.
“If you dare to touch her, I will kill you.”
Chu Yihan stood in front of Su Yingxue. He didn’t care about what she had done, but he was like a guardian god, making everyone else fear Su Yingxue.
Chu Chengye narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t let the two of them escape from the palace today.
Hence, he started fighting Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan had a bloodthirsty disorder that had been difficult to treat for many years. He wanted to provoke him into an attack so that he would have a reason to arrest him openly!
However, Chu Yihan didn’t target anyone else. When Chu Mingyuan attacked him, Chu Yihan snatched his sword, broke his leg, grabbed him, and ordered the Imperial Guards to force him in front of Chu Mingyuan.
Chu Mingyuan was discussing some matters with Wu Dao. The noise in the outer hall forced him to go out and check.
Chu Chengye was caught by Chu Yihan. Upon seeing this, Chu Mingyuan immediately asked, “Ninth Brother, release him. Why are you treating Ye’er ?!”
Chu Yihan let go, but Chu Chengye screamed at his feet.
“This is what he deserves,” Chu Yihan said coldly. “He attacked me, his imperial uncle!”
Chu Mingyuan sat on the dragon throne, and the empress followed suit to create chaos. Looking at Su Yurou’s shriveled corpse, he immediately knew one of the things he had discussed with Wu Dao.
He frowned and pointed at Su Yingxue. “You poisoned your sister and insulted the empress in the palace. What crime do you deserve?!”
“Emperor, I didn’t do it.”
Su Yingxue pointed at the empress. “I would like to ask Your Majesty. Su Yurou dragged me to the side of the Cold Palace to speak. How did the empress seem to know beforehand? Su Yurou had just breathed her last, and she brought people in, wanting to kill me without any explanation. Could it be that she and Su Yurou had not discussed this beforehand to frame me?”
“Nonsense! Who would use their life to frame others? Isn’t your sister’s life a life? Would she be so stupid as to use her death to frame you? Su Yingxue, you’re twisting black and white!” The empress roared.
“Whether it’s twisting black and white or not, a verification will reveal the truth. After the palace banquet, a stranger entered the empress’s harem. 1 can bring him in for questioning.”
Chu Yihan exuded a powerful aura.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne was not him, but he had more of an emperor’s aura than Chu Mingyuan.
The empress’s face turned pale. The harem was her territory, yet Chu Yihan knew exactly when someone had entered her palace!
She bit her lower lip tightly and did not dare to speak.
Chu Mingyuan was even more displeased. “The empress was not wrong in this matter. She was in the harem. Su Yurou died in the harem.. She exercised her authority as the empress and punished Su Yingxue as a warning to others!”
