Chapter 324
After seeing off Queen Wen, Su Mo and Xiao Beiheng returned to the hall together.

Su Mo wanted to know what the mother and son said, and when Xiao Beiheng sat down, she couldn't wait to ask:

"Bei Heng, what did the queen mother tell you?"

"It's nothing, it's mainly about..." Xiao Beiheng held the scabbard of Yan Que sword, and pushed up the sword with his thumb, Yan Que came out of the scabbard an inch, and then he pressed it back with his thumb, "Crack" Advice on what to do next."

"It's about sister-in-law, right?" Su Mo stood in front of Xiao Beiheng, "Haven't you already decided, aren't we going to the capital to meet the emperor now?"

"No more," Xiao Beiheng pushed the Yan Que sword out of its sheath again, and then pushed it back, "The queen mother will naturally go and tell the emperor father."

The sound of the sword being drawn in and out of its sheath repeatedly made Su Mo feel uncomfortable. In this somewhat gloomy hall, the sound of screeching was particularly ear-piercing.

She stepped forward and pressed Xiao Beiheng's sword-holding hand: "Beiheng, you had a very good idea before, why didn't you go all of a sudden. If you don't tell Father about this, and don't catch the murderer, Big Brother will really think that It was you who killed sister-in-law."

"If he really wants to think that way, let him think that way." Xiao Beiheng seemed to be somewhat obedient to the answer.

Su Mo looked at him in surprise: "In this case, elder brother will misunderstand you, and father will also..."

"I told you, the queen mother will go and explain." Xiao Beiheng raised his hand impatiently and interrupted Su Mo.

Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out.

"Stop," Xiao Beiheng stood up, "Where are you going?"

Su Mo said as she walked, "I'm going to Shengjing to find my elder brother and tell him that you didn't do this. Besides, my sister-in-law died, so I should go to offer my condolences."

Xiao Beiheng walked a few steps quickly, and grabbed Su Mo's wrist: "You can't go."

Su Mo struggled twice but couldn't break free, turned back angrily and said, "Why don't you let me go?"

Xiao Beiheng said: "Xiao Zhuo will definitely compete with me for the position of crown prince. No matter what Shen Yuexi says, it is a lie to you. I will act first, so naturally I cannot let you go."

Su Mo shook her body and said, "That's what the queen mother told you? Are you going to do something to elder brother?"

Xiao Beiheng pulled her back and said, "If I don't do it, he will do it to me. Shen Yuexi's death is an excuse for him to do it."

Su Mo shook her head again and again, trying to break Xiao Beiheng's hand, but in vain, she could only say: "I don't believe it. Sister-in-law is not that kind of person, she definitely never lied to me... Let me go and let me go to Shengjing."

Xiao Beiheng's hands were like iron hoops, no matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

"Momo, you have to figure it out," Xiao Beiheng held her wrist tightly, "You are my wife, you should face me, you should help me."

Su Mo was gripped in pain, frowned and said, "I'm helping you now. As long as I go to Shengjing and make it clear to my eldest brother, my eldest brother is not that kind of unreasonable person..."

Xiao Beiheng said coldly: "I had too little restraint on you before, you can go wherever you want. But this matter is of great importance, and you cannot be fooled around. You stay in the palace and don't go anywhere."

Su Mo blushed with anger, and shouted: "Bei Heng, you will regret it if you insist on going your own way."

Unmoved, Xiao Beiheng let go of Su Mo's wrist and said, "Come here."

The leader of the guards led several guards to enter in response, Xiao Beiheng said to the leader of the guards: "Escort Princess Ping to rest. From now on, Princess Ping cannot leave the palace."

The head of the guards showed surprise.Since Su Mo married into Prince Qi's Mansion, Xiao Beiheng has always been very kind to her, why did he suddenly turn his back on her?
Is it a husband and wife quarrel?
But Xiao Beiheng had already given orders, and the leader of the guards didn't dare to delay, he came to Su Mo and bowed: "Princess, please follow my humble position."

Su Mo's face sank like water, and she didn't speak a word, and walked out under the guard of the guards.

A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the hall, and the candles on the table were not covered, and the flames danced wildly.

Xiao Beiheng stood alone in the hall, his face flickering under the firelight.

Empress Wen was right to reprimand him, he was still too cowardly and timid.No matter how many people he killed and how much blood was stained before, his cruelty is always on the surface.The evidence is that when he was about to kill Xiao Zhuo, he flinched and backed down.

Such a mistake cannot be made again, no matter whether it is a request from the queen mother or out of his own interests.

After Shen Yuexi's death, Xiao Zhuo was Empress Wen's only hatred and his only fear.Only by killing Xiao Zhuo can Empress Wen be comforted and he can find peace.

Another gust of stronger wind blew in, completely blowing out the lamps and candles, completely hiding his face in darkness.

"Come on." He whispered.

A servant entered in response, bowed in the darkness and said, "Prince Ping, this servant will light a candle."

"No need," Xiao Beiheng said, "How is that Hua Duoduo?"

The servant said: "According to King Ping's order, 120 cuts have been made..."

"Don't let him die before he cuts a thousand knives. Isn't his father just watching, let him heal his son well."

"Yes."

After the servant finished answering, he raised his head tremblingly, and there was no sign of Xiao Beiheng in the dark hall.

……

It was already noon when Queen Wen returned to the capital.She went straight to the Royal Study Room in the back hall to meet Emperor Qi Ming.

Emperor Qi Ming didn't read and paint like usual. He walked around the room anxiously. When he saw her coming in, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zitong, you are finally back. Why didn't you go back to the capital directly, but went to Anzhou overnight? "

Empress Wen said angrily: "Your Majesty, King Ping can't sleep at night, and I miss my son. Why don't I go and see?"

Emperor Qi Ming sighed: "Bei Heng has had this disease since childhood, it's not like you don't know about it."

"It's getting worse now." Empress Wen sat down and took the tea brought by the maid, "He is His Majesty's son, and His Majesty doesn't care enough about him."

Emperor Qi Ming was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand to make the maids and others retreat, and came to Empress Wen and said, "Zhen...cough, it is true that I have neglected our son, but it is not because of your good helper."

Empress Wen smiled lightly, put down the teacup and said, "You man, it's not a day or two before you leave your son to me."

Emperor Qi Ming came behind Empress Wen, beat her on the shoulder with both fists and said: "A messenger from Shengjing came, saying that Princess An was poisoned and died after drinking the anti-fetal medicine. Song Zhen's investigation must give Zhuo'er an explanation."

When he found out that Shen Yuexi was poisoned and died, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. After he realized it, he immediately called Song Zhen and ordered him to join the relevant officials and arrest all the imperial doctors who dispensed the medicine for interrogation.

"Zhuo'er...huh," Empress Wen leaned back in the chair, "There's no need to investigate, I poisoned you."

Emperor Qi Ming was startled, and immediately said: "Madam, this matter is no small matter, so don't be angry."

He couldn't believe that Queen Wen would do such a thing even if he killed him. His first reaction was that Queen Wen was speaking angry words.

"I'm not joking," Queen Wen responded coldly, "I hate Xiao Zhuo, and I also hate Xiao Zhuo's wife, so I poisoned her."

Emperor Qi Ming repeatedly comforted him: "Madam, Madam... just calm down. I know they didn't come for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and you are a little unhappy."

Empress Wen looked back at him and said, "What does it have to do with the Mid-Autumn Festival? Do you think that woman has been dead for a year, so I shouldn't worry about it anymore?"

Emperor Qi Ming sighed helplessly, and said: "How many times do you have to say it before you believe it? I am sincere to you. It has been 20 years and I have never taken a concubine. Is there anything wrong?"

"You have made many mistakes." Empress Wen stood up and stared at Emperor Qi Ming, "You have always regarded me as her. What you think of is that woman. So you are so kind to Xiao Zhuo, you named him King An, Give him the state...you have to make up for her son."

Emperor Qi Ming looked at Empress Wen's white hair, sighed heavily and said, "She is dead, why are you still so persistent?"

"Of course you don't understand." Empress Wen sat down again and said, "You don't even know how much I have put in for you. I have dedicated my whole life to you...but you are only devoted to that woman. I can't stand it. "

"I didn't go out of my way to find a woman who looks similar to her," Emperor Qi Ming changed the subject, "Our meeting was God's will."

Thinking of the moment he met her in Yuzhou, he couldn't believe that there was such a similar woman in the world.

Empress Wen gave him a blank look: "You mean to say that I'm a lowly person?"

Emperor Qi Ming turned his back and put his hand on his forehead: "Madam, you are really angry today. What can I do to make you happier?"

Empress Wen was silent, she suddenly got up and hugged him from behind with her arms open, and said with tears, "Your Majesty, I have spent my whole life for you. You...you don't even know what I have done for you..."

"I know," Emperor Qi Ming turned around and hugged Empress Wen, "You have been with me for 20 years, how could I not know. You came from a poor background, and now you are Queen Dayan. Wuji, isn't that enough?"

"It's not enough," Empress Wen said in a low voice, "I want you to give the crown prince to our Heng'er."

Emperor Qi Ming was a little bit embarrassed: "But the decree of Li Chu has already been hung on the Zhaxing Building, I can't make another decree..."

"Then tell me, who is in your will?" Empress Wen thumped his chest with her fist. "I have asked you several times, but you just refuse to tell."

Emperor Qi Ming hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Zhen... the one standing is Heng'er."

Empress Wen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if you really stand up for Heng'er, why bother to play this trick. In fact, you really stand up for Xiao Zhuo, right? Right?"

"It's really Heng'er."

"Then open the will and let me see it to prove that what you said is true."

"I said that it can only be opened when I die..."

"You are obviously guilty."

While arguing, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the door and said, "Your Majesty, Empress. Minister Song will work with the Dali Temple Secretary to solve the case. It has been found that the murderer who poisoned him is Lin Kui. Now Lin Kui has confessed completely."

Emperor Qi Ming was overjoyed, stopped entanglement with Empress Wen, came to the door and said to the outside: "Quickly write a confession, I will read it later."

Behind him, Empress Wen straightened her messy temple hair and smiled.
