Chapter 646: Empress Hua Arrives
e their activities, but they must remain on standby and await further instructions."Fu'er nodded solemnly and clasped his hands together, saying, "Yes."This matter is serious. After Fu'er hurriedly bi...But even if she found out that Ma Ma was the poisoner, what could she do about it
Behind the Empress Dowager stands the Empress. How could a dying woman defy the Empress
If I had to drag someone down with me before I die, it would have to be An Xue Tang right now!
Anyway, she now wishes An Xuetang was dead!!
Thinking this, Hua Xiang turned to An Xuetang and trembled as she raised her hand, "It's... it's you, you poisoned me."
An Xuetang curled her lips into a smile. “One can eat anything they want, but one mustn't speak carelessly. What evidence do you have Are you going to just accuse me based on your words alone You underestimate this concubine, don't you”
As soon as An Xuetang finished speaking, the Empress let out a heavy snort and said coldly, "Here, everyone knows you have a grudge against Xiang'er. Before, you had conflicts with her and had more than once clashed. Besides you, who else could have given Xiang'er such a potent poison"
"Mother's words imply that I'm not the only one who has clashed with Hua Xiang recently. If we follow Mother's line of reasoning, the list of potential suspects would be quite long."
"Don't give me that slick talk!" The Empress pointed at An Xue Tang and scolded her. She wanted to say something else, but just then, a palace maid came in to tell her that Concubine Hua had arrived.
At the sound of this address, both the Queen and An Xue Tang's hearts skipped a beat.
The Empress was relieved that this time, the Noble Consort was finally willing to leave her courtyard, while An Xuetang felt a pang of anxiety.
She clenched her fists slightly, and the name "Hua" instantly brought to mind Huaduoer's face.
The Empress ordered the blooming Concubine Gui to be summoned. An Xue Tang turned, her eyes fixed on the entrance, her hands clenched tightly.
I silently prayed that the so-called Hua Guifei wouldn't be the person she had in mind!
Unfortunately, life is like that. The more she tries to avoid something happening, the more likely it is to occur. It's as if fate is playing with her, deliberately thwarting her every attempt at peace!
Seeing the familiar figure appear at the door, An Xue Tang's whole body stiffened and she stared blankly at Hua Duo dressed in gorgeous attire.
I didn't expect it... Huaduo'er, she finally entered the palace!
But why Now Mo Yunchen's situation is not as passive as before, why does she still insist on entering the palace
Huāduǒ ér ruò yǒu suǒ sī de sǎo le yǎn nxuetáng, jiàn nxuetáng hái hǎo hǎo de zhàn zhe, tā mò mò sōng qǐ liao.
As soon as she heard in her palace that An Xue Tang had been summoned to the Empress's palace, she felt a little worried. Later, she learned that something big had happened in Kunning Palace, and two imperial physicians rushed there in haste.
She didn't want An Xue Tang to know she had entered the palace so soon, but she couldn't just stand by and watch An Xue Tang get into trouble. In the end, she hastily changed her clothes and rushed over.
Seeing An Xue Tang standing here so safely, she finally felt relieved. As long as the person who had an accident wasn't her, it was fine.
Ning'er and Shou'er saw Huāduōr and Xiaohóng, the two of them subconsciously looked at each other, clearly also somewhat unbelievable.
They always thought that Huāduǒ and Xiao Hong had found a place to live happily, who knew they actually entered the palace.
Once they stepped into the palace, life became like an unfathomable sea. They were perfectly capable of choosing a different path, but...
But why Why does the flower insist on entering the palace
This, neither of them had figured out.
The flower wouldn't recognize An Xue Tang naturally, she glanced at An Xue Tang then turned her face away to look at the Empress, and bowed to the Empress.
The Empress, of course, wouldn't give face to this currently favored Hua Guifei. She raised an eyebrow and said, "I wonder what brings sister here at this moment"
"Little sister heard that elder sister welcomed the Northern Border princess into the palace. This Northern Border princess is a hero of recent times. Little sister also wants to see her beauty, but… little sister seems to have arrived at the wrong time. Elder sister's palace has happened something big How come there are imperial physicians and a pile of people lying on the ground"
As they spoke, Huahua pointed to Hua Xiang lying on the ground and to the old nurse not far away.
The Empress’s face was cold. “It’s all because of An Xue Tang, she dares to poison Xiang’er under my very nose.”
"Oh" Hua Duo blinked her eyes, then turned to An Xue Tang, "So this must be the Princess of Beijang"
An Xuetang pursed her lips, enduring and enduring, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart. She bowed to Huadu'er and then said, "Please, Your Majesty, grant An Xuetang justice."
The little flower narrowed her eyes, "Oh Could it be that the Queen is slandering the Princess of Beijang"
"Yes."
An Xuetang, regardless of her identity, straightened her back and said to Huahua:
“Hua Xiang was poisoned, a fatal blow. But my two maidservants and I never went near Hua Xiang after entering the Kunning Palace. How could we have poisoned her Now the Empress accuses me without even investigating. This accusation, I deny.”
"Nonsense!" The Empress slammed her fist on the table. "Apart from you, who else could have poisoned Xiang'er here"
An Xuetang let out a cold snort, "Who knows Hua Xiang didn't have any trouble anywhere else, but now she had an accident in Kunning Palace. Who knows if there is someone in Kunning Palace who wants her dead"
"As soon as An Xuetang finished speaking, before the Empress could retort, Huadoer chimed in, "Sister, you claim it was the North Border Princess who poisoned her. What evidence do you have"
The Empress immediately fell silent. What evidence could she possibly have She and her maidservant had planned to have the remaining poison secretly transferred to An Xue Tang's person. At that time, a simple search would prove An Xue Tang guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.
But who could have known, that An Xuetang and the two maidservants beside her would be so vigilant, and so bold, as to kick her most beloved nanny right in front of her.
The old woman wasn't able to get close to An Xuetang at all, and the remaining poison is still on her.
Now the only thing she could do was use Huaxiang's confession.
Thinking about this, the Empress forced herself to calm down for a moment before saying, "Hua Xiang is just a dying person. Even if her words are well-spoken, she's at this point now, how could she possibly slander An Xue Tang"
"Hua Duo'er frowned, then shook her head with a helpless smile. "So sister, are you just going to convict the Princess of Bei Jiang based on hearsay Isn't that inappropriate If King Bei Jiang found out, I'm afraid he wouldn't let it go."
The empress' eyes darkened, "So sister, are you trying to clear An Xuetang of her crimes"
Hua Duo'er smiled, "No, no, little sister is just here to watch the show today. She doesn't want to speak for anyone. But little sister is just reminding elder sister, the King of Bei Jiang dotes on this Northern Border Princess very much. If the Northern Border Princess were to suffer here, would he get angry"
"Could this palace be afraid of him getting angry He's just the King of Beijang, and when he sees this palace, he still has to bow and call this palace 'Mother'. Could this palace possibly be afraid of him"
The Empress's words were indeed bold. But just as she finished speaking, a palace maid outside shouted urgently, "King of the Northern Border has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed across the Empress's eyes. gaze scared Zhou You so much that he quickly buried his head lower, his voice trembling slightly as he explained:"I beg Your Royal Highness of Beijiang to forgive me. The words I just spoke are merel...
