The queen's panicked screams did not stop Cheng Yingzong who was in a rage. His torch-like eyes fixed on the purple-clothed man kneeling in front of him. Betrayed by the sadness in the black pupil.

"Bastard! Your mother raised you up so hard, and you tried to kill her. You... How did I raise such a son who doesn't know what to do!" Cheng Yingzong's face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were all swollen. , standing in front of the dragon couch with trembling voices, holding another cup of tea bowl in hand and raising it above his head, about to throw it down on him again.

The moment he was about to drop his hand, the Queen's cry sounded in his ears again, "Your Majesty!"

The call stopped Cheng Yingzong's impulsiveness. He turned his eyes and saw the queen rushing in front of him with tears in her eyes, reaching out to stop him from holding the tea bowl, and she immediately brought her back to his senses.

He Jingyi moved slightly, fearing that Cheng Yingzong would accidentally push the queen to the ground with a wave of his hand, so he hurriedly raised his vigilance and wanted to step forward to support the queen to prevent her from being injured.

Fortunately, Cheng Yingzong is a person who has practiced martial arts all year round, and he reacted very quickly. He quickly supported the queen with his hands and asked her to sit down, and kept urging her, "Sit down quickly, Yuhua, don't cry, and be careful."

Cheng Yingzong comforted her a few words, but the anger in his heart was still uncontrollable, he pointed at He Mingfeng and scolded, "Say it, son of a bitch! Why did you harm your mother!"

He Mingfeng lowered his eyes, moved his lips slightly, and said word by word, "Because she killed my mother."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Cheng Yingzong jumped up and glared angrily, "Why was your mother killed by the queen! She was clearly..."

When Cheng Yingzong said this, he paused, let out a wretched sigh, shook his head slightly, a deep sense of guilt appeared on his face, and did not continue.

The queen was tearful and sobbing, "Your Majesty, don't blame Feng'er, Feng'er was instigated by Concubine Hui, and his heart is more bitter than ours."

Originally kneeling on the carpet like a stone statue without saying a word, He Mingfeng's brows twitched slightly because of her words, and there was endless sadness in his sad eyes.

It turned out that He Mingfeng came straight to Cheng Yingzong after he came out from his teacher Qiao Huang. He had already made a decision in his heart to confess to Cheng Yingzong what he had done.

He didn't know why he insisted on doing this, the queen had covered it up for him, and didn't want Cheng Yingzong to know about it, so that he would be punished, but there was always a cloud of black mist in his heart, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get rid of the heart that bound him Knot.

What he wants may be Cheng Yingzong's punishment, to appease the restless guilt in his heart that he tried to cover up, or maybe it is the past that he has been unwilling to reveal, to know the truth about the perfect girl in his heart.

The queen was naturally happy to see him, but she easily sensed his intentions, and stopped the conversation several times. Even He Jingyi, who was at the side, saw what the queen was thinking, and invited him to her palace to try to stop his actions, but He Mingfeng made up his mind. How could he give up so easily.

Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he knelt down in front of Cheng Yingzong and the queen, and uttered loudly that he wanted to kill the queen, shocking Cheng Yingzong, and the queen was speechless for a moment. All the conspiracies he set up by himself, such as killing the pure beauty and framing the queen, wanting to kill the queen in the secret room, etc.

Then, Cheng Yingzong was so angry that he threw the tea bowl at him.

"Yuhua, you said he was instigated by Concubine Hui? What happened?!" Cheng Yingzong lightly supported the Queen's arm and carefully helped her to sit still. Su Jin hurriedly stepped forward to help the Queen, fearing that she would cry badly body.

The queen wiped away her tears, looked at He Mingfeng lovingly, and said leisurely, "Back then, Mei'er was instigated by Concubine Hui to fight against me everywhere. Do you remember this matter?"

When Cheng Yingzong heard her mention Duan Zhaorong, he also sighed. The originally beautiful and lovely woman turned into such a sinister and vicious woman, which made him very disappointed in her. But now that he thinks about it, he is not the same as her , No match for Concubine Hui's cunning and cunning.

"Of course I remember." Cheng Yingzong replied, "She designed to frame you many times back then, poisoned your food, and set a trap to make you fall into the lotus pond. Forbearance, after she died, I brought Feng'er back to the palace to teach and grow up, it is precisely because I know this that I am so disappointed in Feng'er!"

Seeing Cheng Yingzong's flushed face, the queen stretched out her hand to caress his chest to comfort him, "Your Majesty calm down."

Cheng Yingzong got better after being comforted by her, held her hand, and listened to her continue: "Concubine Hui hid in the dark and instigated Mei Er to do things for her, but fortunately, Mei Er finally discovered her plot and realized something. , and the relationship with me has eased a lot."

The queen calmed down a little bit, watching He Mingfeng's beautiful eyes gradually blurred, and the melancholy in the brows surged, as if she had fallen into the past she didn't want to recall, her lips parted lightly, and she spoke leisurely, "I still remember, before Mei'er died, That morning, the plum blossoms in the Royal Garden had just bloomed and they were really beautiful. Meier came to Changle Palace to meet me with a red plum in her hand. She said that she regretted her affectation and wanted to send her favorite red plum. May apologized to me."

Empress Yun closed her sad eyes and choked her throat, "How can I not forgive her, after all, she is my only sister."

He Jingyi who was standing beside her said with concern: "Mother, don't be too sad, your body is the most important thing."

The queen was persuaded by him, and she recovered a little bit, and said, "Poor Meier died of poisoning when she returned home. Although I know that it was Concubine Hui who did it, I have to endure it because there is no evidence, and I will find a chance to take revenge."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Yingzong hurriedly said in shame, "It's all for me. I am useless. I can't take back the soldiers and horses in Jiang Sheng's hands. I have to fear her family and make you feel wronged."

The queen hurriedly held his hand and shook her head, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and everything is for the sake of the country and society. Your Majesty is not wrong. It is Concubine Hui and her father who are wrong."

He Mingfeng's breathing was a little tight, his eyebrows frowned, and his heart was turbulent, so Cheng Yingzong also knew about A Niang's death?

His originally tilted balance shifted a little towards the queen before he realized it.

"Concubine Hui poisoned Meier to death, and took the plum hairpin she got from Meier somehow, and told Fenger that I had killed Meier, and Fenger was also eager to avenge her mother, so she fell into her trap by mistake. That's why, Your Majesty don't blame him." After speaking, the queen turned her eyes to Cheng Yingzong, put her hands on his and shook slightly, pleading for He Mingfeng.

After hearing this, Cheng Yingzong looked at He Mingfeng with deep pity, but was still annoyed, "You child, why didn't you tell your father what's on your mind, it almost caused a big mistake!"

He Mingfeng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke, "Father almost put my aunt in limbo. Since father doesn't like my aunt, if I tell father, will father decide for my aunt?"

These words were like a heavy blow to Cheng Yingzong's head, but he did not become angry from embarrassment. Instead, he felt guilty and ashamed, "It's my fault. I was negligent to your mother back then. She committed those wrong things. I just got angry and didn't care about it." Not thinking about why she is like this."

Cheng Yingzong was a hard-working emperor who took care of everything by himself. He was busy with important affairs in the court every day and rarely cared about the harem. However, he heard his son's weak protest and did not reprimand him for his incomprehension. Instead, he took responsibility. He Mingfeng was also slightly moved, and the gloom in his heart dropped a few inches.

He Mingfeng fell silent again, Cheng Yingzong looked at him and sighed, "Don't you still believe what your mother said to me?"

He Mingfeng didn't answer bluntly, but said in a low voice, "I just don't believe my aunt is that kind of person."

These words caused Cheng Yingzong and the queen to feel a sense of loss, they were speechless, and they didn't want to say anything more to break the goodness of a mother in his child's heart.

The silence in the hall didn't last long before it was broken by He Mingfeng's deep words, "Concubine Hui has a plum blossom hairpin to testify, so how can father and queen testify?"

This is his obsession with his mother's death as a child. He needs the truth, the truth that can convince him completely, even if the truth is cruel and will make him more painful.

Shi Yuqing stepped past two bead curtains, separated by a gauze curtain, happened to hear his words, reached out her hand to stop Xu Tinglu's transmission, thought for a while, turned around without stopping, and left again, except for He Jingyi in the hall , the rest of the people didn't notice his presence.

The queen looked at He Mingfeng and sighed, "I really don't have evidence. If there is evidence, no matter what, I will desperately seek justice for your mother."

He Mingfeng remained silent, Cheng Yingzong felt pain like a knife in his heart, and shouted in every possible way in his heart, could it be that he blamed himself for being weak and useless back then.

Because he knew that even if the Queen had evidence, the most he could do was confine Concubine Hui and could not do more for Duan Zhaorong's mother and son, because at that time he had weak power and could not compete with the powerful Jiang Sheng resisted, but Jiang Sheng pressed him from time to time, telling him to treat his daughter leniently. Concubine Hui could be so domineering. Could it be Jiang Sheng's protection and his connivance? In the end, he owed Duan Zhaorong and He Mingfeng .

The hall fell into silence again, and the sad emotions lingered in the air, which became thicker and thicker, and only the slight breathing sounds of several people interlaced in frequency could be faintly heard.

He Jingyi raised his eyes and glanced at Cheng Yingzong and the empress. He didn't want to say much about He Mingfeng, and he was naturally resentful and angry when he hurt the empress.

But the empress and He Mingfeng are not in an ordinary relationship. The two have a deep mother-child relationship. Although He Mingfeng has committed a lot of crimes, He Jingyi looked at him coldly. .

In this way, if He Jingyi intervenes to make things worse, it will cause the empress to feel sad and miserable, why not just comfort the two elders, wait and see what happens, and help them.

The moment of silence at this moment is like a long time, the past, the past, all the past, so profound that people can't bear to look back, the beauty in the memory is gone, but the confusion of ten years is left behind.

A moment later, Xu Tinglu's slightly aged and deliberately lowered voice broke the gloomy atmosphere in the hall: "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess wishes to see you."
