The cold palace is to the west. With such a location, it is reasonable to say that it should be extremely hot in summer, but being here makes people feel a bone-chilling chill.

Everywhere is overgrown with grass and dilapidated.

Several eunuchs were holding trays with three things in them, a wine flask, a dagger, and a white silk ribbon.

The queen took off her gorgeous clothes and lost her hairpin. Now her face no longer had the original nobility and reserve.

She sat on the ground with disheveled hair and watched the three eunuchs walking towards the house. She panicked and wanted to escape.

However, she was no match for several eunuchs when she was usually so pampered, but she was escorted back within a short time.

When she saw the things in the tray, the color on her face faded, and her pale lips couldn't help trembling. Although she already knew her end, she still couldn't calm down when she really had to face death.

The leading young eunuch looked at her with a half-smile but said, "Ms. Wei, choose one and get on your way! Don't blame the slaves after you get down. The slaves are just following orders."

How could the queen dare to just give up? She said with tears in her eyes: "No... the emperor will not treat me like this. Please let me see the emperor!"

The leading young eunuch couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place? The emperor is determined to kill you, so just go quietly and avoid suffering!"

As he spoke, the little eunuch went to the wine jug on the tray, poured a glass of wine and handed it to the queen, with a hint of bewilderment in his voice:

"This wine will make you sick quickly and won't cause much pain. Just drink it!"

The queen looked at the amber liquid in the glass and stretched out her trembling hands. No, she was unwilling to do so. She knocked the wine glass to the ground.

Struggling to run out.

The little eunuch was also angry at this moment, and shouted: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Several people were struggling hard when a voice sounded from the door: "Wait!"

The little eunuch stopped what he was doing and looked towards the door. When he saw the person coming, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Slave, please see Princess Jin. Why are you here? This place is dirty. Be careful of hurting you!"

Now that the prince is in decline and Princess Jin is pregnant, how could the people in the palace not know Su Ying's current status and rush to fawn over her.

When the queen saw Su Ying coming, she immediately climbed over, grabbed the corner of Su Ying's skirt and said urgently: "Su Ying, please save me. I and your mother were close friends in the past. You are doing it for your mother's sake." Please save me."

Su Ying said to the eunuch beside her: "I have a few words to say to her. Please step aside for now."

The little eunuch looked troubled: "Princess, this Wei family is crazy. If I hurt you, the servants won't dare to deal with it."

Su Ying smiled and said: "Don't worry, the maid next to me knows some boxing and kicking skills, she can't hurt me."

The little eunuch glanced at Mu Lin who was standing next to him and exited the palace.

Su Ying looked at the queen, her eyes were extremely cold: "You just said that you and my mother are close friends, then why did you force my grandmother to add cold poison to my mother's anti-fetal medicine?"

The queen didn't expect that Su Ying actually found out what happened that year. She was speechless for a while, and then she said in a low voice after a while: "I..."

"Believe me, I didn't want to harm her back then."

"We had such a good relationship back then. It's all her fault. She even said she wanted to leave the palace, but she came back halfway."

"It happened that the prince secretly ate some chestnuts that day and had a reaction. At that time, my mother said something eloquent that this child is indeed Prince Su's son."

"Even the symptoms of this chestnut allergy are the same. Let me be careful in the future and don't give him chestnuts again, so as not to be discovered by others."

"Ruhua just walked to the door and heard about it."

"I didn't want to kill her, but this matter concerns our entire family, so I had to do it."

After hearing this, Su Ying's chest surged with anger, and she said expressionlessly: "My mother was kind-hearted. She didn't tell anyone about this back then, not even my father. Why did you insist on killing her?"

The queen quickly said: "I can't destroy the Wei family because of her alone. It's all her fault. If she doesn't return to Zhaoyang Palace, how can there be any trouble in the future?"

Su Ying's expression changed and she stared at her coldly: "How dare you blame my mother for this matter now. You should have confessed to the late emperor that you were pregnant with Prince Su's child."

"You clearly love Prince Su but you can't let go of the temptation of being the queen. There's no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. What happened today is your retribution."

Su Ying clearly said this to the Queen, but wasn't she the same as the Queen in her previous life?

"Retribution..." The queen repeated these two words in a daze. She closed her eyes in pain. After a long time, she asked: "How does the emperor plan to deal with Prince Su?"

Su Ying said calmly: "He escaped from the capital, and the emperor has ordered to hunt him down."

"For so many years, you have been devoted to him wholeheartedly. Even though you are a queen and you are loved by all, you only have a prince. I think you want to keep this sincerity."

"But you misjudged a man's heart. Prince Su only sees power and doesn't have much love for you."

"As soon as he discovered that the East Palace was on fire, he sensed something was wrong and fled the capital early."

"You must have not expected this result until now, right?"

Su Ying's words were like sharp knives stabbing into the Queen's heart, leaving her full of holes and bleeding.

The queen was stunned for a long time, then stood up and stroked the wrinkles on her clothes, picked up the jug on the side, poured herself a full glass of poisonous wine, and drank it.

Su Ying walked out of the Leng Palace and looked at the bright sun shining outside. In the palace opposite the Leng Palace, the albizia flowers sticking out of the high wall were in full bloom. They were bright red and full of vitality under the sunlight.

The queen died, and no one in the court dared to ask about it.

Everyone knew that those few days were unusual. The emperor did not involve the Wei family, not because he did not want to, but because the Wei family still had a hidden danger on the border.

It was only said to the outside world that the queen contracted an epidemic and died.

As for the prince, Situ Lin imprisoned him in the East Palace, and his external rhetoric was consistent with that of the queen.

Situ Yan is not a matter of Situ Lin's bloodline, it is related to the face of the entire royal family. Of course, he would not dare to announce such scandals to the outside world.

Although the courtiers did not know the whole story, they knew that the prince would die sooner or later if he contracted the disease, whether it was true or false.

Those ministers who once fawned over the East Palace and the Wei family are now in panic.

The capital has just experienced a major epidemic, coupled with the rebellion of the Crown Prince and Prince Su, the situation in the court is turbulent.

Situ Lin has been exhausted physically and mentally since that night. Coupled with the Queen's poison, his spirit is always low, good and bad.

He has not gone to court for several days, and all government affairs are handled by Situ Jin and Situ Jing.
