Luo Qinghan remained silent.

The Empress Dowager stared at him and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Luo Qing said coldly: "Concubine Xiao is dead, this assumption is meaningless."

The Queen Mother slightly raised the tone.

"No matter whether it makes sense or not, just answer the Ai family. Do you know? Or can you not?"

Reason told Luo Qinghan that the smartest way at this time should be to give a positive answer. After all, Emperor Sheng Yong was his biological father. Even though that father was not very kind to him, filial piety was greater than that of heaven in universal values. As a son of man, it was natural for him to avenge his father.

What's more, it's just an answer.

So what can I do if I talk about it?

Could he really kill Xixi for a false charge?

But for some reason, there was a small voice in his heart stopping him from speaking and giving a positive answer.

Seeing that he was silent, the Empress Dowager gradually became excited.

Her fingertips holding the teacup were trembling slightly, and she was almost unable to hold it.

Princess Huaan comforted the Empress Dowager and hoped that she would not be angry. She advised the emperor to speak quickly and not to get angry with the Empress Dowager because of this little thing. It is not worth it!

Luo Qinghan's index finger hidden in his sleeve trembled gently.

He immediately pressed his index finger tightly with his thumb, suppressing the inexplicable uneasiness.

"Concubine Xiao is not the kind of person the emperor's grandmother said. It must be okay for her father to die."

When the Empress Dowager saw that he refused to even make a symbolic promise, her disappointment in him had reached its peak.

She asked word by word.

"Your Majesty has tried his best to protect Concubine Xiao, and even disobey filial piety. Why? Are you guilty?"

The tone of the last sentence was bitten very heavily by her, and it sounded quite imposing.

Princess Hua'an wanted to speak for the emperor, but the Empress Dowager glared back with a cold look.

Luo Qinghan: "What do I have to be guilty of?"

The Empress Dowager said sternly.

"Concubine Xiao is your favorite concubine. If she really has something to do with the death of the late emperor, then she must have murdered the late emperor for you!

Once she is exposed, you will naturally be exposed.

You seem to be protecting her, but you are actually protecting yourself.”

Princess Hua'an was so scared that she almost felt unhappy by these words.

Although she also speculated that the death of the late emperor might have something to do with Concubine Xiao, she never thought that this matter would be related to Luo Qinghan.

Actually, I haven’t thought about it, mainly because I don’t dare to think about it.

She was afraid that she would accidentally touch the truth, which would cause death.

What she dared not do was done by the Empress Dowager at this time.

The Empress Dowager made up her mind to ask Luo Qinghan the truth about Emperor Sheng Yong’s death today!

Luo Qinghan already understood in his heart that it seemed that this was the main reason why Luo Yanzhi was able to persuade the Empress Dowager to change his position.

The Empress Dowager suspected that he was instructing Concubine Xiao to murder Emperor Sheng Yong.

A mother who wants to avenge her son can do anything.

Luo Qinghan: "No matter what you think, I still say the same thing. If you want to convict, you have to come up with conclusive evidence first. Without evidence, everything is empty talk."

The Queen Mother: "Your attitude has already made it clear."

Luo Qinghan's avoidance of answering seemed to her as a sign of guilt.

She was originally half-believing and half-doubting about what Luo Yanzhi said.

But at this time, Luo Qinghan's repeated avoidance forced her to believe that Luo Yanzhi's guess was probably true.

Emperor Sheng Yong's death is probably planned by Luo Qinghan!

The more the Empress Dowager thought about it, the more hated it became.

Fortunately, she thought that the prince Luo Qinghan was orthodox. After Emperor Sheng Yong's death, she almost never considered other princes and directly pushed him to the throne.

Unexpectedly, the so-called orthodoxy in her eyes was the rebellious son who killed his father and usurped the throne!

The Empress Dowager's eyes were red and a strong sense of hostility appeared in her eyes.

She didn't want to say a word to Luo Qinghan, a rebellious son who dared to murder even his biological father for his goal.

The Empress Dowager smashed the teacup in her hand hard toward the ground!

The teacup fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.

Broken porcelain pieces flew around.

Princess Hua'an was so scared that she exclaimed: "Ah!"

The next moment, a group of assassins holding weapons rushed in with great might.

They surrounded Luo Qinghan.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Chang rushed forward to protect the emperor.

Luo Qinghan looked at the Empress Dowager and asked coldly.

"What does the emperor's grandmother mean?"

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth: "The Ai family wants to serve the Luo family as apart from you, the rebellious son who killed his father and usurped the throne!"

Princess Hua'an was already panicked by the scene in front of her.

She grabbed the Empress Dowager's hand and begged eagerly.

"My mother, please calm down. There must be a misunderstanding here. Your Majesty cannot kill his father! You should let these people retreat quickly. Don't make mistakes again and again!"

The Empress Dowager shook her hand hard and scolded: "Shut up, today's affairs have nothing to do with you, don't meddle in other people's business!"

Princess Hua'an: "But..."

The Empress Dowager threw her eyes over.

Princess Hua'an was so scared that she closed her mouth and did not dare to say anything again.

She turned her head to see the emperor, hoping that he could be soft and let the Empress Dowager calm down.

Until now, she thought that the Empress Dowager just wanted to scare the emperor, and the Empress Dowager should not really kill the emperor.

Luo Qinghan ignored Princess Hua'an's eyes.

His eyes passed by the assassins in front of him one by one. These people had a very strong banditry spirit and their eyes were full of murderous intent. You could tell at a glance that they had suffered from human life.

Luo Qinghan: "These wild turtles in the world should not be accessible to the emperor and grandmother. You should have helpers, are they the king of Jingxian?"

The Empress Dowager did not answer.

After a moment, a man strode in from outside.

The visitor was Wang Luoyanzhi, Jing County.

He was wearing armor and a sword around his waist, and his eyes were filled with a proud smile.

"I'm worthy of being the emperor's brother, I guess it's me at once."

Princess Hua'an's heart suddenly sank to the bottom when she saw him coming in.

If the Empress Dowager attacked the emperor, she might just want to teach a lesson to the disobedient junior.

But if it were Luo Yanzhi's actions, he would definitely want to kill the emperor.

Everyone knows Luo Yanzhi's ambitions. In order to get to the top, he will do whatever he wants to kill his brother, even if he kills all the people in the world!

Princess Hua'an already knew that all this was a trap arranged by Luo Yanzhi. He and the Empress Dowager tricked the emperor out, intending to solve the emperor in the Taimiao and replace him.

Princess Hua'an became their accomplice without realizing it—

If she hadn't been to lobbying the emperor, the emperor would not have agreed to visit the Empress Dowager in Taimiao.

Princess Hua'an was deeply regretful.

She should be more cautious.
