"I will not cooperate until I use the knife. I won't cry until I see the coffin!"

Shen Yan's eyebrows were sharp and every word was like a knife, "Speak!"

"The Ai family once saw the Queen..." The Queen Mother revealed the Queen's secret.

Shen Yan's expression turned cold, and she secretly thought that the Queen had hidden it well enough.

"What other secrets do you have hiding from us?" Shen Yan asked.

"No, everything the Ai family knows has been told." The Queen Mother now only wants to die, "Shen Yan, please kill me! Let me die happily!"

"Why are you so anxious? When it's time for you to die, I will naturally send you on your way!" Shen Yan's tone was cold and stern.

The fear reappeared in the Queen Mother's eyes. She didn't know how Shen Yan wanted to torture her.

"Shen Yan, you went back on your word! You said that as long as I tell the Queen's secret, you will let me die! You don't keep your word!"

Shen Yan looked at the Queen Mother, with a sarcastic sneer on her lips, "I promise you credit? Are you worthy of it?!"

The Queen Mother was speechless and her whole body was shaking with hatred. However, now that she was like a fish and Shen Yan was like a knife, she had no ability to resist.

"That mysterious person hiding behind you, have you seen her?"

Shen Yan waved the dagger, "Don't play tricks on me, cooperate honestly and answer truthfully!"

How dare the Queen Mother play tricks? She didn't want to have her flesh cut off by Shen Yan with a knife while she was still alive.

"I've never seen her before. Every time I meet her, she wears a bamboo hat and a veil. I can't tell what she looks like. I just know she's a woman."

Shen Yan asked again, "What is her identity?"

"I don't know." The Queen Mother replied.

"You don't know anything, yet you dare to obey her orders?" Shen Yan's voice became three degrees colder.

Seeing that Shen Yan didn't believe her, the Queen Mother was afraid that Shen Yan would cut her flesh again, so she quickly explained, "As long as she can help the Ai family, the Ai family doesn't care what her status is. Over the years, she has occasionally sent her subordinates to deliver messages. Her subordinate Ai Jia has seen it before."

Shen Yan mentioned several characteristics, and the Queen Mother confirmed them one by one, confirming that the subordinate was the one who instigated Dong Daqing.

"However, there is one particularly strange place." The Queen Mother seemed to have remembered something.

"Say!"

"The Ai family has known her for more than ten years, and she has hardly changed." The Queen Mother said.

"You haven't even met her, how do you know she hasn't changed?" Shen Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Listen to the voice and look at the figure." The Queen Mother said, "At this age, the Ai family has seen countless people, and they still have basic judgments."

She expressed her doubts, "Listen to the voice, when the Ai family first met her, she was only in her twenties. More than ten years later, she is already in her thirties. There is no way her voice and body have changed at all." No."

"But that's how she is. She hasn't changed at all. It's like she's always stayed at that age and won't get older."

She was afraid that Shen Yan wouldn't believe it, so she added specifically, "The Ai family didn't lie, and there was no need to lie. The Ai family will tell you everything they know. I just ask you not to torture me anymore."

Shen Yan's voice was cold, "It's your own fault and you won't survive!"

She believed what the Queen Mother said. The mysterious man had told her more than once before that there was tens of thousands of years of hatred between them.

Who is the mysterious man? He can live for tens of thousands of years!

However, there is another strange thing. The mysterious man revealed his true face to Leng Yuting, so why did he still hide it from the Queen Mother?

The Queen Mother was silent. Who caused this evil? It was she who was unable to fall in love, and her love gave rise to hatred. In the end, she transferred her hatred for Gu Changhe and his wife to Gu Wan. After killing Gu Wan, she was still unwilling to accept it and continued to harm Shen Yan.

The late emperor favored her throughout her life, but she was unwilling to accept it. She believed that the late emperor had ruined her happiness, so she vowed to destroy the empire that the late emperor had conquered.

Looking back now, the days when she was in the palace and pampered by the late emperor were the happiest days in her life.

It's a pity that she didn't cherish it well at the time.

If you commit evil by yourself, you will not live. If you do too much injustice, you will die!

The Queen Mother looked up to the sky and smiled, tears of regret flowing from the corners of her eyes.

At this moment, the door was opened from the outside, and Xie Huaijing walked in.

He and Shen Yan looked at each other before leaving, and the two agreed to meet here.

The Queen Mother is definitely going to die, and Emperor Xuande will definitely leave it to Shen Yan.

Moreover, Emperor Xuande would not let the Queen Mother die in front of him, so the best place was Cining Palace.

Xie Huaijing rushed over after handling Leng Yuting's body.

"I've finished asking everything I want to ask. See if you have anything else you want to ask. Then send her on her way!" Shen Yan said to Xie Huaijing.

The Queen Mother looked at Xie Huaijing, who was standing side by side with Shen Yan, and then she understood what Shen Yan meant when she said it was time for her to die. She wanted Xie Huaijing to kill her himself.

"Nothing to ask." Xie Huaijing looked at the Queen Mother with murderous intent in his eyes, "My father, the Queen, and my concubine have been waiting for you down there for many years. Go down and kowtow to them and repent!"

After Xie Huaijing finished speaking, he took the white silk on the side and wrapped it around his hand twice, then walked behind the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's voice was sad, "The Ai family has killed countless people in their lives. I never thought that one day I would be killed. What retribution..."

Before she finished speaking, the white silk in Xie Huaijing's hand was already tied around her neck.

In an instant, the Queen Mother's head dropped.

Shen Yan stepped forward to take a breath, nodded to Xie Huaiding, and said coldly, "Dead!"

Xie Huaijing loosened his hands and his whole body instantly relaxed.

He thought silently in his heart: Father, mother, concubine, my son has avenged you!

"Pass! The Queen Mother has passed away!" Shen Yan shouted loudly. When the palace people outside the palace heard the sound, they immediately ran to report to Emperor Xuande.

Emperor Xuande raised his eyes upon hearing this, "Toll the death knell!"

It was just before dawn, and the sound of the death knell in the palace sounded like thunder, reaching every corner of the capital.

The sound of the death knell ended, dawn just arrived, the morning light faded, and on the first day of the new year, the first sunny day appeared in the long-frozen capital.

The Queen Mother's funeral was kept simple, and she was buried in just three days.

Now is the Chinese New Year, the imperial court is closed, the funeral is over, and all civil and military officials are resting at home.

Only Shen Yan has been busy, and she is still in the imperial study room at this time.

"You Ning, what did Leng Yuting say to you before he died?"

The Qin Dynasty ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety, but the Queen Mother was not virtuous, but Emperor Xuande had to be filial.

So these days, although he is not sad, he is also very busy, and now he has time to ask Shen Yan.

"Let us be careful about Prince Rong, saying that Princess Changning is not Prince Rong's biological daughter. She has taken over the identity of the princess's daughter." Shen Yan answered truthfully.

"Youning, what do you think?" Emperor Xuande frowned. He valued family ties and it was difficult for him to accept that Prince Rong had evil intentions.

This is his closest brother.

He can tolerate some innocuous behavior of King Rong, but once the bottom line is touched, he will be merciless.
