Your Majesty's Charming Concubine

Chapter 684 It's Too Late
"What I said, you should know better than anyone else." Xiao Rongyuan's voice was cold and without warmth, and the gaze he looked at her was also extremely cold.

Shangguan Xiuyan's pale complexion was even paler now.

Holding the quilt with his fingers, he couldn't help trembling.

Looking at her son's firm and cold eyes, she made no attempt to justify.

Although she was embarrassed, she still wanted to save the last bit of face in front of her son.

She smiled softly, looking at him softly.

"The crime should be punished." After a while, she said suddenly, her tone was relaxed like relief.

Qin Fang's heart trembled, and she couldn't help shouting: "The Queen Mother..."

Xiao Rongyuan's face was calm, no emotion could be seen, he heard her words, slowly spread his palm, and handed a vermilion pill in front of her, "If that's the case, the queen mother will take it."

Shangguan Xiuyan stared blankly at the pill lying quietly in his palm, the corner of her mouth was slightly pursed, and she reached out to pick up the pill without hesitating for too long.

Qin Fang didn't care about anything else, walked up to Xiao Rongyuan on her knees, kowtowed her head heavily and begged: "Your Majesty, you can't treat the Queen Mother like this, please take it back..." As she spoke, she kowtowed her head to the floor again.

For a moment, in the quiet hall, only the sound of her kowtow was left.

Shangguan Xiuyan looked at her sadly, the tears in her eyes finally burst, "Qin Fang, you don't have to do this, get up quickly, this is the decision of the Ai family."

Qin Fang shook her head desperately, the forehead that had just been treated was once again soaked in bright red blood, she looked at Xiao Rongyuan with tears all over her face, and kept repeating a sentence, "Please take it back, Your Majesty..."

Xiao Rongyuan had already stood up, his back was facing Shangguan Xiuyan, his handsome face was icy cold.

Shangguan Xiuyan looked at her son Xiuya's tall and straight back, smiled slowly, but her eyes were full of guilt, she whispered: "Yuan'er, I'm sorry, I hope that in the next life, we can still be mother and son. I must wholeheartedly be a qualified mother, and I will not let you suffer even the slightest bit..."

Xiao Rongyuan's body shook, and the hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist.

Shangguan Xiuyan took a deep look at Xiao Rongyuan again, then raised her hand and fed the pill into her mouth without hesitation.

Qin Fang was shocked, she didn't care to kowtow anymore, she rushed forward quickly, trying to stop her.

But it was all too late.

Shangguan Xiuyan chewed the pill into pieces and swallowed it into her stomach.

"The queen——"

Shangguan Xiuyan fell back heavily on the bed.

There was a beautiful smile on the corner of her mouth, and those things in the past flashed in her mind one by one.

What kind of medicine was given by Xiao Rongyuan, Shangguan Xiuyan closed her eyes within a short while, and was silent.

Qin Fang's hands trembled, and she probed her nose, and she fell to the ground in fright.

Muttering to himself: "The Queen Mother is dead..."

Xiao Rongyuan suddenly turned around, looking at the woman lying peacefully on the bed, there was finally a little moisture in her dark eyes.

But soon, he regained his composure, "Come here, the Empress Dowager is dead... prepare for the national funeral."

……

The next day, the news of the Empress Dowager's death came out, which instantly shocked the court and the public.

Mu Palace.

When the bad news came, Mu Yongchen was sitting in the study, discussing important matters with his staff.

"What did you say?"

Mu Yongchen stared coldly at the servant who delivered the message.

The servant looked at Mu Wang's scary face in horror, and repeated, "The Queen Mother...is dead."
