Story of Yanxi Palace: Fu Ying's banner will never fall

Chapter 168 The Emperor's Promise

Wei Yingluo knew clearly that this opportunity was hard to come by. If she could not seize it in time, she would probably never have such a good opportunity again in the future. Now she should take advantage of the emperor's anxiety and get him to agree to her as soon as possible.

So, she decided to take a risk and fight for herself. After all, Fu Heng had already taken ninety-nine steps towards her, so she should also take one step towards him.

The emperor raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and sneered, "Humph, haven't you already been engaged? Why do you still need me to grant you a marriage?"

Wei Yingluo replied calmly, "Your Majesty is the supreme ruler, and your words are as firm as gold. Your instructions are the most stable and will not change. I just hope to get your personal promise to put my mind at ease. In this way, I believe the Empress will also feel relieved and will wake up faster."

Veins popped up on the emperor's forehead, but he could do nothing.

This time, he unexpectedly agreed decisively, "Okay, okay, okay, I promise you! Go and detoxify quickly. If you can't detoxify, then kill yourself!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes and waved his hands impatiently, signaling Wei Yingluo to leave quickly. He also comforted himself in his heart that she was just a greedy woman.

Looking at the unconscious and motionless queen in front of him, the emperor was already extremely panicked and extremely afraid that his wife would leave him like this.

If this were true, he would lose the only person in the Forbidden City to whom he could freely confide his feelings, and this situation must not happen.

Therefore, no matter what request Wei Yingluo made, as long as she was not coveting his throne, he would agree without hesitation.

After all, she was just an interesting woman.

As an emperor, possessing all the wealth and power in the world, what kind of woman could he not get?

It would be better to take this opportunity to grant this honor to the Fucha family, so that the Queen will feel happier and wake up as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, the emperor held the queen's hand tightly, his eyes moistened, and he whispered softly: "Rongyin, please wake up soon, don't scare me, don't leave me... You can have whatever you want, anything is fine."

After a long time, Li Yu had not come back yet, but Concubine Xian and Zhang Jianyi walked in together, and there was someone following them - Er Qing.

I saw Er Qing tied up with her mouth covered with a cloth, making a whimpering sound.

"Your servants pay their respects to His Majesty!" the two of them saluted.

The emperor stretched out his hand, pointed at Er Qing and asked, "What's going on?"

Empress Xian replied calmly, "In reply to the emperor, the orchids in Changchun Palace were sent by Qing as promised. They were mixed with poisonous spices. Although the rest of the spices have not been found yet, they must be related to her."

Zhang Jianyi also knelt down and pleaded: "In reply to the emperor, this orchid was originally placed in the guest room. It was the pot you sent over before, but for some reason it suddenly wilted a few days ago.

Qing Yanguo happened to send a pot of almost identical orchids, and the servants placed it in the reception room. Unexpectedly, someone took advantage of this opportunity to tamper with it. "

After hearing this, everyone present understood that the Queen's coma was probably related to Qing Da Ying, who once served in Changchun Palace.

The emperor also laughed, "Okay, very good, Qing agrees, you say it yourself!"

Zhang Jianyi quickly took the cloth out of Erqing's mouth.

Er Qing's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she said in panic, "Your Majesty, I was framed. I sent the orchid only to congratulate the Queen on her pregnancy. I had no idea about the poison in the soil. Please investigate."

"Qing agreed. No one said the poison was in the soil. You are walking into a trap now." Zhang Jianyi reminded at the right time.

Er Qing stammered, "I...I am just guessing."

"Oh, do you think I'm a fool?"

The emperor didn't expect that Xitala Erqing was so troublesome. He felt deep regret for having fallen into her trap in the past. Now that he finally had the chance, he must severely punish her.

Coincidentally, at this time, Er Qing's grandfather was reported by the censor Shen Shifeng, who said that he was incompetent and unable to handle the important tasks of the Ministry of Justice.

At this time, the emperor was already dissatisfied with the Xitala family, and now he felt that there was no good person in their family, so he decided to punish them severely.

The emperor was about to punish Er Qing when Concubine Gao came unexpectedly, followed by two young eunuchs, who walked in escorting Amber.

Zhilan held a box in her hand and stood respectfully aside.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I came here today because someone from Chuxiu Palace had ulterior motives and dared to murder the Queen. I sent them here to ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Concubine Gao spoke slowly and her voice now sounded clear and pleasant.

Her face was still pretty and charming, but her eyes were more calm and determined.

Then, Concubine Gao looked at the wounded Amber with a sneer and said softly, "You tell me yourself."

Amber had already been frightened out of her wits by Zhilan, and when she heard this, she trembled with fear.

She kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I am Amber, Qing's personal maid. A few days ago, she ordered me to mix this spice into the soil of a pot of orchids and then send the orchids to Changchun Palace. I didn't know it was poison. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, she kept knocking her head, with blood oozing from her forehead, forming a sharp contrast with her pale face.

Then, Zhilan stepped forward and handed the box in her hand to Ye Tianshi.

Ye Tianshi carefully took the box, opened it, and a surprised expression appeared on his face. He immediately said, "This is the poison in the flowerpot."

"We have both witnesses and evidence. What else do you have to say?" The emperor's voice, full of majesty and oppression, sounded, as if to shatter the entire palace.

Er Qing's face turned pale as paper in an instant, beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her forehead, her body trembled uncontrollably, her legs went soft, and she immediately knelt on the ground.

The emperor's eyes were like two sharp swords, piercing straight at Er Qing. Her scalp began to feel numb, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, and she couldn't utter a word.

She tried to stay calm, but the fear in her heart became stronger and stronger. In the end, she was frightened to the point of losing control of her bladder...

"Your Majesty, please spare me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It was that bitch Amber who framed me." Er Qing stuttered, trying to shirk responsibility.
