The next day.

Chu Huanyan entered the palace, while Xian Yue was asked to wait outside the palace gate.

Following the little eunuch all the way to the royal study, Chu Huanyan looked at Eunuch Zheng who was coming towards her and said happily, "Eunuch Zheng."

"I'm just a slave, Miss Chu. You don't have to be polite."

Chu Huanyan smiled calmly, "My father-in-law has been with the emperor for many years, and his status is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary people."

Eunuch Zheng took a look at the calm Chu Huanyan, and without saying anything else, he just invited the person in.

"Your Majesty, Miss Chu is here." In the imperial study, Eunuch Zheng reminded him.

"My daughter has met the emperor." Chu Huanyan knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Xiao looked at the memorial in his hand and said nothing.

Seeing that Emperor Xiao did not respond, Chu Huanyan could only maintain her saluting posture and continue to kneel on the ground.

After a long time, after reading the memorial in his hand, Emperor Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Chu Huanyan.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Huanyan stood up slowly.

Emperor Xiao leaned on the back of his chair and stared at Chu Huanyan with the pressure of a superior.

"Do you know why I asked you to enter the palace today?"

"Go back to the emperor, my daughter knows."

"Oh?" Emperor Xiao didn't seem to expect that Chu Huanyan would answer. He frowned and continued, "Then tell me."

"If my daughter is not mistaken, the emperor is because of the fact that my daughter and the eldest princess went to the Jiang Family Courtyard together."

Emperor Xiao narrowed his eyes and said, "Continue."

"My daughter broke a pottery Xun in the Jiang family courtyard, and what was hidden inside is probably the reason why the emperor summoned my daughter to the palace today."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan more deeply, and Eunuch Zheng, who was standing aside with his head lowered, couldn't help but look up at Chu Huanyan.

"Are you planning to give a full explanation?" Emperor Xiao sneered, "It seems that I don't need to waste any more words. You should tell me what you have found out?"

Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked at Xiao Emperor, "Your Majesty, I have found out that Zhou Yu is Jiang Zhou. I also found out that the late Imperial Physician Jiang was related to the death of the late emperor. It is possible that the late emperor did not die of illness. But he was poisoned.”

Dark clouds quickly formed in Xiao Emperor's eyes. Although he had known that Chu Huanyan had found out this, but now hearing her say it herself, it still suddenly touched the thorn in Xiao Emperor's heart.

"You are so brave." Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan coldly, "The late emperor obviously died of illness, how can I allow you to talk nonsense here? Do you know that just based on those words you just said, I will I can order your head to be chopped off!"

"Your Majesty, I am indeed horrified to hear these words, but I am bold and want to ask the Emperor, does the Emperor really not know the truth back then, or does he mean..."

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Xiao's heart suddenly became murderous.

Sensing the murderous intent in Emperor Xiao's eyes, Chu Huanyan did not dodge, but looked directly into his eyes and continued.

"Or is it that the emperor knew the truth, but he pretended not to know in order to protect someone."

Emperor Xiao was stunned for a moment, protecting some people...

"What do you mean by that?"

Chu Huanyan said word by word: "What I mean is that the Queen is most likely the real murderer, but the Emperor concealed the truth in order to protect the Queen. This is really chilling!"

Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan in confusion.

Does she think the Queen was the real murderer? No, it shouldn't be. If Chu Huanyan has found out about the Jiang family, then she should be the one who is suspicious, not the queen.

Or was it that Chu Huanyan spoke like this on purpose to keep her from knowing the truth so as not to kill her?

"Chu Huanyan, that's a bunch of nonsense. Why do you say that the queen is related to this matter." Emperor Xiao spoke quietly, with a probing tone.

Chu Huanyan said seriously: "Your Majesty, my daughter's parents died in an accident that year. I didn't think much about it at first, but then I accidentally got the letter left by my parents. In the letter, they carefully gave instructions, as if I already had a premonition that something was going to happen to them.”

After glancing at Emperor Xiao, Chu Huanyan continued: "My daughter was already suspicious at that time. Later, I found out that before my parents' accident, the Empress had frequently summoned them to see them. My parents and the Empress had not had much contact with each other in the past years. They have been in contact with each other, but they were summoned frequently before anything happened to them, which is enough to arouse suspicion."

"Then what? Why do you say that this matter is related to the late emperor?" Emperor Xiao stared at Chu Huanyan, not missing any look on her face.

"Although I have suspicions, after all, it has been many years and I really have no clue. Until the day when the queen was stabbed with poisoned wine and before she died, I asked her if she had harmed my parents."

Emperor Xiao's expression changed, "What did she say?"

"Although she didn't admit it face to face, the complacency in her expression clearly indicated that she had something to do with this matter. More importantly, she drank poisoned wine and was in a state of pain and madness. She suddenly kept saying she was sorry to the late emperor. He also said that he regretted it, this is karma."

Chu Huanyan took a deep breath.

"Since then, my daughter has begun to investigate the events of that year. Later, she discovered that the Imperial Hospital caused trouble to the Jiang family. Later, she discovered that the Jiang family still had a grandson alive, and he went to Liyang City and became Rongchang. The face of a princess.”

"So you contacted Jiang Zhou and wanted to get evidence from him?" Emperor Xiao felt cold, "Then what did you find?"

Chu Huanyan smiled bitterly, "Why would the emperor ask questions knowingly? Jiang Zhou was already dead before I got anything. The only thing I learned from him was that the Jiang family had done something for the nobles in the palace. It’s a big event. As for what it is, although he didn’t say it clearly, my daughter can guess it.”

"You really didn't get anything?"

"If I had obtained the evidence, how could I have ventured into the Jiang Family Courtyard and fallen into the emperor's trap?" Chu Huanyan said calmly.

The expression on Emperor Xiao's face became slightly better, but then it turned into a cold expression again.

"Chu Huanyan, if you are so honest today, aren't you afraid that I will order you to be killed?"

"Does the Emperor want to kill someone for a dead person?" After saying that, Chu Huanyan suddenly laughed again, her tone finally a little excited, "That's right, although the Queen is dead, His Highness the Crown Prince and the three princes are all hers. Sons. How could the Emperor allow them to be implicated in notoriety and become the sons of the person who murdered the late Emperor? What's more, the royal majesty and the royal face, all combined, are enough to overshadow the truth. Compared with these , What do the lives of my father and mother matter?"

Emperor Xiao looked at Chu Huanyan seriously, and after a long time, he spoke again.

"Don't tell me, you really only doubt the queen."
