Chapter 272

Several beauties have been sent to the same place. They are covered with white cloth, and the strangle marks on their necks are extremely glaring.

Chen Huang just looked at the hairpin in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, Xiao Huang has also arrived. "His Majesty Chen Huang, what's going on?"

The handsome emperor's expression was a bit chill, and the beauty he sent unexpectedly hanged himself overnight. No matter how you think about it, you feel that there is a huge conspiracy hidden in it.

"His Majesty Xiao Huang, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"

"I originally planned to return to the country in the near future. Now, if Emperor Chen doesn't give an explanation, I have no choice but to stay in the Chen Kingdom Palace. When His Majesty has an idea, I can go back and think about it."

There was deep meaning in Xiao Huang's words, what he meant was that if Chen Huang didn't give him a satisfactory explanation, he would reconsider the matter of the alliance between the two countries.

That's true!

Chen Huang suspected more and more that Xiao Huang directed and acted it himself, but he was too vicious to resort to such a shady trick!
"What is in His Majesty's hand?" Xiao Huang's eyes keenly caught that touch of gold.

Before Chen Huang could react, he had already stretched out his hand to take the hairpin.

"Isn't this... not owned by Empress Chen?"

"The empress is here—"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the noble lady striding forward in the distance.Everyone bent down, and the queen's eyes drifted to those lifeless figures.

"The concubine sees the emperor, His Majesty Xiao Huang."

"The empress is free." Emperor Chen couldn't help looking at the empress's hair, and he really found the same hairpin.

"I don't know if Empress Chen lost her hairpin?"

The queen was taken aback by Xiao Huang's words, and she shook her head slightly.

Afterwards, the handsome emperor actually smiled, and returned the hairpin in Chenhuang's hand.

"His Majesty Xiao Huang, a mere hairpin can't explain anything."

Chenhuang's words made the queen immediately realize that something bad had happened, and it was related to herself.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

Xiao Yichen smiled, "What His Majesty Chen Huang said is true, but I still hope that the Empress can explain why this hairpin appears here."

The queen immediately looked at the thing in Emperor Chen's hand, and she recognized at a glance that it was indeed her hairpin.

"Your Majesty, where did you find this hairpin?"

"...in the palace of one of the beauties."

At this moment, the queen finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

"His Majesty Xiao Huang, although I don't know why this hairpin appeared here, but I stayed in the Phoenix Palace last night, and all the palace people can testify."

However, Xiao Huang seemed to have heard some joke, "Empress, the entire Chen Kingdom Palace belongs to you, if the empress says yes, then that's it."

What he meant was that the words of all the palace people were not testimony, and the evidence in his hand was conclusive, so it was difficult for him to believe that the queen was not suspected.

A palace official quietly stepped forward and whispered something in Xiao Yichen's ear. Afterwards, the young emperor raised his head, "I heard that the empress had a dispute with some beauties in the imperial garden yesterday?"

The queen frowned, nodded slightly after thinking for a while, "Some things did happen in the imperial garden yesterday."

"If the empress is dissatisfied with the beauties I sent, please tell the empress directly. Why should my good intentions be in vain?" A few concubines clashed with those beauties, but it didn't help much, but it would aggravate the conflict between the two countries.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the County Lord Yongji has arrived!"

Mayor of Yongji County? !The eyes of the two of them lit up at the same time, and they looked at the person coming.

Xiao Yichen's eyes could not help but fall on Yun Shu, the elegant woman once again returned to her original indifferent appearance, her wise eyes were somewhat rigorous, "I report to the emperor, empress, and my daughter-in-law have already checked, Those beauties did hang themselves."

"Heh, the county lord Yongji must have made a wrong diagnosis this time too, right? Why did the beauty I sent commit suicide?"

Yun Shu didn't refute, but based on her observation, those beauties were indeed suffocated to death, and there was no trace of fighting in the palace.If it was homicide, I don't know how that person did it.

"Hmph, don't think that by saying that, His Majesty Chen Huang can dispel the suspicion for the queen! I will go back first, and wait for His Majesty Chen to explain!"

After saying that, the young emperor opened his clothes and strode out.

"Master Yongji, did you notice anything unusual?"

Chen Huang looked at Yun Shu, his tone was full of trust in the queen, he knew that his queen had no reason to do such a thing.

The queen was a little moved, the emperor's trust was her courage and faith to persevere.

"Your majesty, the courtiers carefully inspected the scars on these beauties' bodies, which are indeed very similar to suicide by hanging, but there is also a possibility. They were strangled by their necks and hung on the beams, which would also create the illusion of suicide by hanging."

Moreover, if it was by surprise, they would not have any resistance, and naturally there was no trace of fighting in the room.

"It's just, why did the other party do this?"

Kill these beauties, and then keep the queen's things.

"Your Majesty, this matter may have something to do with Emperor Xiao!"

The three of them had the same thoughts, Xiao Huang already had the intention of attacking, and now he pretended to form an alliance, and wanted to find an excuse to break with Chen Kingdom.

Chen Huang turned around slowly and walked to the window, for some reason, what happened today reminded him of a long time ago, it seemed that the same thing happened, but it was too far away for him to remember clearly.

"Empress, no matter what answer the emperor gives this time, Emperor Xiao will not be satisfied. Even if the emperor punishes empress, Emperor Xiao can still think of thousands of ways to break with Kingdom Chen."

Yunshu analyzed the current situation, and the queen thought it was reasonable, "What does County Lord Yongji think?"

The elegant woman in front of her didn't speak, but looked at Emperor Chen standing by the window.

After a long time, the emperor had a voice, "Go down first, I will think about it carefully."

……

In the cold palace.

"Your Majesty is really good at it!"

Xiao Yichen sat on the side, while the beautiful woman was still lying on the couch.

Concubine Mei opened her beautiful eyes, with a slight smile, "I can't understand what His Majesty Xiao Huang said."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not, this time, it's Kingdom Chen who failed my country Yi." Of course he didn't believe that Empress Chen would do such a thing. After thinking about it for a while, he thought of it Concubine Mei in the cold palace.

After she failed last time, I'm afraid she has been looking for opportunities to prove her strength. Now, she just wants to let herself see that she can provoke Emperor Chen with ease.Moreover, Emperor Xiao also saw that Concubine Mei knew Emperor Chen very well, and could use various methods to stimulate Emperor Chen's emotions. Such a situation was undoubtedly beneficial to him.

At this time, the closed palace door opened with a bang, Dongfang Rui kicked the palace door open and stepped in, but saw Xiao Huang who was sitting aside with surprised eyes.

He straightened his expression immediately, clasped his fists together, "His Majesty Xiao Huang."

"Well, it seems that the mother and son have something to say, so I left first." Xiao Yichen stood up and smiled, then passed behind Dongfang Rui, and gave him a friendly look.

"Why do this?"

As soon as Dongfang Rui opened his mouth, it was about framing Empress Chen this time.

"What Rui'er is talking about, my concubine can't understand."

"...I know, you did it."

The nanny at the side glanced at Concubine Mei, then walked to the back and closed the door, "The Second Highness is really smart, and understands what your empress is thinking."

"Or, is Rui'er worried about the queen?" Concubine Mei's tone contained a hidden coldness, Dongfang Rui was taken aback, and immediately frowned, "I just don't understand why you did this."

Concubine Mei just looked into Dongfang Rui's eyes quietly, and then smiled faintly, "Rui'er, you just need to establish a good relationship with Xiao Huang and wait quietly, maybe soon, the time will come."

Dongfang Rui's expression was lowered, and Concubine Mei couldn't help laughing when she saw it, "Ruier, why do you look the same as when you were a child?"

When Dongfang Rui was angry when he was a child, he always put on such an expression, but he didn't expect that many years later, he would still be like this.

Dongfang Rui didn't answer, but just glanced out of the window at the gray sky.

There was an eerie silence in the bedroom. Seeing that the atmosphere between the mother and son was not good, the ugly nanny stood up, "Your Highness, the empress did this for His Highness."

"Since it's for me, why don't I know anything?!"

This stubborn temper aroused a flame in Concubine Mei's heart.

"Then ask yourself, do you really not care about Nalanya and Dongfang Xu?!" Her sudden cold tone made Dongfang Rui's eyes flash, and he just looked at the beautiful face in front of him.

Her words undoubtedly pierced Dongfang Rui's heart.

The feelings of the years are not in vain, which is why he is struggling in his heart.Who should I trust and who should I choose?Whenever he thinks of this reason, Dongfang Rui always feels depressed.

The ugly nanny did not expect that her master would bring up the issue so suddenly. Yes, Concubine Mei did not fully trust Dongfang Rui, even if he was her child, as long as she did not fully trust him, she would not Will reveal any plans.

"Before you come to blame the concubine, ask yourself, what have you done! You know, it took a lot of time for the concubine to help you quell those gossips. How much depression do you have in your heart, and you want to vent it on your own empress. On the body of the concubine. That's all, my concubine fell into the lake and was seen with a body full of scars. Do you think everyone else is a fool?!"

This incident really made Concubine Mei furious. You must know that this is a critical moment, she is trying every means to destroy Dongfang Xu's image in the hearts of everyone, and she doesn't want her son to make such a joke.

Beat up the princess?In the eyes of others, it is no longer a matter between husband and wife, but whether Dongfang Rui has a heart of tolerance and benevolence.

How can such a prince get the support of others? !

"...that's my own business."

"Okay, that's what you said, since it's your own business, then you can solve it yourself!" Concubine Mei's voice was like a sharp knife, and the ugly nanny hurried forward, "Your Majesty, calm down, the Second Highness is still young. , I don't understand the painstaking efforts of the empress..."

Then she looked at the stubborn young man, and had to say that the temper of the Second Highness was really like that of an empress.

"Your Highness, I heard that the second imperial concubine has conceived? You must know that Your Majesty is very sad. Your Highness should not do this again. Hurry up and give birth to a grandson for your Majesty, so that you can enjoy the family happiness as soon as possible! For other things, Your Highness will Don't worry, Your Majesty will take care of your Highness properly!"

Dongfang Rui opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything.

……

The border of Chen Kingdom.

"Master, do you really want to go back?" A few black-clothed men stood in front of them, their handsome figures with fluttering robes, and their handsome faces with faint smiles.

"Master, I'm afraid the master won't agree."

Feng Ling stretched out her hand, and picked up a jade pendant hanging from her waist, with the word phoenix engraved on it.

"No, my eldest brother is married, so I have to go."

Moreover, he also wanted to see her soon, the woman who made him worry about him.

He has already arranged everything here. At this moment, Feng Ling can't wait to spread her wings and return to the capital immediately, telling her that everything is fine.

There was a sound of horseshoes from far to near, and several shadows immediately formed a row, watching the approacher vigilantly, and protecting Feng Ling.

The fast horse stopped not far away, and on the horse's back stood the tall and straight middle-aged man.

With joy on Feng Ling's face, he stepped forward through the shadows.

"Father!"

Lord Changding gave a relieved smile, "Just come back."
