Chapter 822: Chapter 822-Madness
Emperor Yong Ping was also afraid that the Princess Consort of Huaiyang would be harmed by others.
Although on the surface, the murderer was undoubtedly the Prince of Huaiyang, killing people in the palace was like stepping on an ant. The palace’s defense was like a sieve. He couldn’t be sure that no one was taking advantage of the situation, or that the real culprit behind the scenes was someone else or a group of people conspiring.
In any case, Emperor Yong Ping had lost his hair now. No one could be trusted and everyone was suspicious.
Even those guards, when they were really needed, they did not know who was on their side and who was planted by others.
Although it was completely out of good intentions for Duo Fu to protect the Huaiyang Princess Consort, it was not the case in the ears of others. They even thought that the Emperor was venting his anger on the Huaiyang Princess Consort and imprisoning her.
He had just been treated as someone’s savior in public, and in the end, he said all this behind their backs…
No one could see anything on their faces, but their hearts were already playing
He felt that his emperor was a little…The mouth does not match the heart.
Although Duo Fu felt that something was wrong, it was obvious that the Emperor was already frightened and could not listen to anything else. He did not want to get involved and immediately did as he was instructed.
Emperor Yong Ping waited for nearly half a cup of tea’s time. The ground under his feet was almost flattened by him. He did not wait for Xie Xian’s person, but he heard a heartbreaking cry not far away.
“Yes… Xie Pushe?” Emperor Yong Ping asked uncertainly.
When the eunuch beside him heard the Emperor’s question, he hurriedly stepped out of the door to take a look. In the blink of an eye, he turned around and said, “Yes, Your Majesty. It was Xie Pushe’s turn to be a woman.
He was going to pick up Xie Pushe and the other people, and they were looking at him awkwardly by the door.
They did not dare to bring Xie Pushe to the Emperor, but…His mother was dead so how could they stop him?
Emperor Yong Ping took a deep breath and took the lead to get up and go straight to the room where Madam Yuan was placed. The closer he got, the faster the emperor’s heart beat. He was so scared that he almost couldn’t stand it anymore. He clearly didn’ t do it, so why was he so guilty?
Her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
A group of imperial physicians and palace guards followed behind the Emperor. Although they did not enter the room, they did not feel good. Xie Pushe had always been calm and composed in front of others. She had never seen such a loss of self-control. She didn’t dare to look anymore.
“It was the Prince of Huaiyang who did it. He still wanted to do it to me in the palace. Fortunately, I have already put him in the imperial prison.” Emperor Yong Ping didn’t know how to open his mouth. Once he spoke, it was as if he was going to die. The only thing missing was Xie Xianming saying that he was not the one who did it.
“Minister Xie…My condolences.” Emperor Yong Ping stammered.
Although Xie Xian was no longer crying bitterly, his eyes were still red, causing Emperor Yong Ping to feel an inexplicable heartache. When he thought of his mother’s death, it was also so inexplicable. Everyone had clearly gone out to climb the mountain to play happily, but the cake that he had personally presented was poisoned to death.
“.. No one wanted that.” As he spoke, Emperor Yong Ping’s eyes became moist, and tears flowed down his face.
The eunuch standing outside the door said,”D * mn, the Emperor has good acting skills. I never knew that the Emperor had such deep feelings for Madam Yuan.”
No, to be able to do this to the mother of an official, he actually cried with her.
Xie Xian,”Imperial Physician-”
Five or six imperial physicians from the Imperial Academy of Medicine have seen it and all said… It’s hopeless. It’s poison.” Before he could finish asking, Emperor Yong Ping wiped his tears and replied.
No one knew that under the cover of the wide sleeves of his official robe, Xie Xian’s palm had already been pierced by his own fingers.
“What poison?” he asked calmly.
Emperor Yongping was speechless.
He didn’t know.
“Men, imperial physician!” Emperor Yong Ping called the imperial physician in. He did not want to be alone with Xie Xian and the dead Madam Yuan in the same room. It was too depressing. He was about to break down. Even Xie Xian’s calm expression was a form of torture to him. It was so calm that it made his hair stand on end.

Empress Xiao received the news two hours after Lady Yuan’s death and after Xie Xian entered the palace.
Almost immediately, she thought of the Princess Consort of King Huaiyang who kept turning her head back to her in the Jiaofang Palace, wanting to say something but hesitating.
“What is she thinking? Since she wanted to put righteousness before family, she had to put on an act. Now that she was dead, what use was there for her to put righteousness before family?”
She had countless opportunities to be honest about this! But she chose that moment, at the most impossible time, to tell the emperor?!”
Empress Xiao didn’t feel that she had wrongly accused the Princess Consort of Huaiyang. She had sufficient reasons.
Just like how Huaiyang Wangfei had stayed in her room for the time it took to brew a cup of tea when she found out the truth!
If she had said it earlier, the tragedy could have been avoided.
Empress Xiao and Lady Yuan had no enmity. Although they weren’t very close, it was a life after all. And once this life was lost, the one affected would not just be Xie Xian alone.
Xie Xian was like a huge mountain in front of Emperor Yong Ping. It could be said that he suppressed Emperor Yong Ping, but in turn, he suppressed the various aristocratic families and other disturbances.
Without Xie Xian, Emperor Yong Ping would be the one to face those troubles.
She didn’t think that the current Emperor would be able to handle those matters as easily as Xie Xian.
.. How could he kill the mother of a minister so casually in the palace? Was it necessary to be so deranged?
Empress Xiao was stunned.
It was something that he could not even imagine.
Was Prince Huaiyang really suppressed to the point of madness?
Even if this matter succeeded and he really killed Emperor Yong Ping to replace him, did he think that the other officials would be at ease to assist him and not worry that their family members would be ordered to enter the palace and die?
“Where’s Silang?” Empress Xiao suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and grabbed Gui Zhi’s hand tightly.”Quickly go and take a look at the Fourth Prince-no, bring him back to the Jiaofang Palace, in case others fish in troubled waters!”
“Niangniang, the prince is a good person.
“Hurry!” Empress Xiao was going crazy. She didn’t need anyone to suck up to her at this time. She wanted her son to be safe and sound! “Hurry up and go’ Use your fastest speed!”
Gui Zhi didn’t dare to say anything more. She didn’t care about the rules of the palace. She grabbed the hem of her dress and ran. She was afraid that she would be too slow. As she ran, she shouted, “A fast eunuch, hurry to Taiji Palace!” The three eunuchs were like wild horses that had gone berserk as they dashed out of the Jiaofang Palace.
Guizhi’s heart slightly calmed down.
Who knew that when she arrived outside Taiji Palace, she would see that the three eunuchs were all blocked outside and none of them could enter.
Therefore, what was the use of running so fast? He had to have a brain.
Because of Lady Yuan’s death, Emperor Yong Ping had already ordered that Taiji Palace was forbidden from entering and leaving.
Of course, Gui Zhi was the trusted maid of Empress Xiao and was not ordinary She had also been ordered by Empress Xiao to come here. After many requests, Gui Zhi had to enter Taiji Palace.
Because of Lady Yuan’s sudden appearance, the Fourth Prince’s Three Baptism Ceremony had not even been completed. Taiji Palace was in chaos. The granny who was hosting the ceremony was at a loss. It was the Empress Dowager who came forward to take the Fourth Prince to the west hall and properly settle him down.
