Although the neutral faction and the courtiers who supported King Ning were surprised, they were generally happy and excited. Only those who had already boarded King Qi's ship were cold, and their faces paled visible to the naked eye.

Luo Chengjing's words fell, and no one said anything.

Luo Chengjing didn't care either, he went straight to the dragon chair and sat down, his dark eyes swept across all the ministers standing below.

Those who dared to utter nonsense in front of King Ning just now were swept away by Luo Chengjing's gaze, and all lowered their heads.

There is only one thought in their minds now, the emperor is well, and they are completely finished.

Luo Chengjing withdrew his gaze, snorted coldly, and took from Yuan En behind him a thick stack of evidence that King Qi ordered Zheng Jieyu to poison him and intended to rebel against him and usurp the throne, and threw it in front of the ministers, saying: "My loves, Take a good look, don't turn around and say that I wronged innocent people."

There was silence in the court hall, and after a while, Wu Yongcai, who was standing at the front, boldly picked up the stack of letters and other evidence in front of him.

The more Wu Yong looked at the evidence, the more frightened he became. The evidence in Luo Chengjing's hands was very complete, and all the things that King Qi had done secretly over the years were all on it.

Other things are fine, but the death of the second princess, the death of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the poisoning of the emperor were all caused by King Qi, which shocked Wu Yong a little.

After reading these evidences, Wu Yong felt that it was very merciful for the emperor not to cut King Qi to pieces on the spot.

Wu Yong handed the stack of evidence in his hand to the people around him, and said: "The king of Qi has committed a heinous crime. I beseech the emperor to deprive him of the title of king of Qi and demote him to a commoner. Everyone in the palace of the king of Qi will be beheaded to show the public. The Zheng family is rich and unkind. , worked as a minion for the tiger, seized the title of imperial merchant, and punished the nine clans."

Soon, the people around Wu Yong also read the evidence in hand, he handed the evidence to others, and also came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

One after another, the voices of "Senior ministers" sounded, and soon more than half of the people in the court stood up.

Only at this time did Luo Chengjing open his mouth to issue an order, all the members of the Qi Palace except Concubine Shu were executed, and the imperial merchant Zheng's family punished the nine clans.

A group of people who had seen the evidence heard Luo Chengjing's treatment of Qi Wangfu and Concubine Shu, and they all shouted: "The emperor is merciful."

Before he could go to court, the poison on Luo Chengjing's body was cured, and the news of his going to the court had already spread throughout the harem.

Although everyone didn't know the details of what happened in the court, everyone was aware that something big was about to happen.

Fu'an Palace, Concubine Ming was teasing the third prince when she heard the news, after hearing what the little eunuch said, the expression on Concubine Ming's face did not change at all, she still looked at the third prince with a smile, but her heart flashed I don't know if it's a feeling of disappointment or joy.

This emotion flashed by, Ming Dowager didn't dare to think about it.

And Zheng Jieyu, who also received the news, was sitting blankly in the Ruyi Pavilion, quietly looking at the pipa placed beside her.

After looking at it for a while, Zheng Jieyu stood up, walked over and took the pipa, and gently plucked the strings of the pipa.

When the sound of the pipa sounded, Zheng Jieyu closed her eyes and opened them again. Zheng Jieyu devoted all her attention to the pipa in her hand.

The mournful and mournful sound of the pipa sounded in the Ruyi Hall, and Lan Xin, the court lady next to Zheng Jieyu, said helplessly: "Jieyu, it's already this time, do you still have the heart to play the pipa?"

Lan Xin is also a member of King Qi, and he was the one who poisoned Luo Chengjing's tea before. Now that Luo Chengjing has recovered, she is in extreme panic.

Zheng Jieyu didn't seem to hear what Lan Xin said, or maybe she heard it but didn't want to talk to Lan Xin, she was only immersed in the pipa in her hand at the moment.

Lan Xin couldn't help but said again: "Jieyu, stop playing the pipa, think of a way, the poison on the emperor's body is cured, then the prince is hopeless, what should we do Huh? Will the emperor find out that we poisoned him?"

"Jieyu?" Lan Xin asked Zheng Jieyu several times in a row, Zheng Jieyu stopped her hands, hugged the pipa, looked up at Lan Xin, and said lightly: "What can I do? Now it's like this It is impossible for the lord and father to do anything about the situation, so what can I do?"

When Lan Xin heard this, the expression on her face suddenly became dull.

Zheng Jieyu looked at Lan Xin's appearance, smiled faintly, and said, "Maybe you can pray that the emperor doesn't know who poisoned you."

Lan Xin looked at Zheng Jieyu expectantly, "Is it possible?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Zheng Jieyu's face, and she said, "Maybe."

Lan Xin looked at the expression on Zheng Jieyu's face, and stopped talking.

Zheng Jieyu also stopped talking to Lan Xin, and continued to play the pipa in her hand with her head down.

Her life was doomed since she was selected by the Zheng family. The Zheng family gave her a life at that time, and she was destined to return this life to the Zheng family.

When she first entered the palace, the Zheng family was afraid that if she had a child of her own after entering the palace, she would become selfish because of the child, and would no longer focus on serving the Zheng family and King Qi, so a bowl of medicine would kill her as a mother. Chance.

After she entered the palace, she was also shaken by the emperor's favor for her, but soon she knew that the emperor's favor never lasts long. He can pamper you today, but he can also neglect you because of others tomorrow.

When she made up her mind to poison Luo Chengjing, the patriarch of the Zheng family and her adoptive father said that she would be free after this incident. It was not that she had no fantasy about the life after freedom.

But deep down in her heart, she also knew that after this incident, it was time for her to die.

But it's useless to know, she has no choice.

Therefore, regarding the matter of Luo Chengjing waking up, she didn't have much worry or panic. Anyway, she did everything that should be done, and Luo Chengjing didn't have any accidents in the end, which can only show that it was God's will.

Anyway, regardless of whether Luo Chengjing died or lived, her ending would always be a word of death. If this is the case, what is the reason for her death?

When Luo Chengjing returned to Jianzhang Palace, Lu Wanning had already asked Qingzhi to pack her things.

After seeing Luo Chengjing, Lu Wanning and Luo Chengjing mentioned the matter of going back to Linglong Pavilion.

Naturally, Luo Chengjing would not disagree.

He nodded and said: "Aifei has worked hard these days, go back and have a good rest."

Lu Wanning smiled slightly, she didn't feel the hard work, but it was true that she was tired.

Lu Wanning bowed her knees and saluted, "The concubine resigns."

Luo Chengjing nodded, "Go, I will ask Lian Yongwang to see you off."

Lu Wanning did not refuse, the emperor was willing to send Lian Yongwang to send her back, which meant that the emperor wanted to save face for her, so why should she refuse.

After Lu Wanning left, Luo Chengjing thought of Zheng Jieyu who was still in the Ruyi Pavilion, and said to Yuan En who was beside him: "Draft a decree!"
