Chapter 365 Anger
With the support of Emperor Shenwu, there was really nothing in the harem that Lan Qingwu could not find out. Looking at the things she had found out, she felt a chill in her heart, and then she became extremely angry. She cherished every life and had saved countless lives since she was a child. But now, right under her own nose, someone was deceiving the world and treating human life as worthless. Over the years, dozens of palace maids had lost their lives silently in this harem.
After being angry, Lan Qingwu stood up quietly. Ru Ping saw that Lan Qingwu's face was really not good, and hurriedly said: "My Queen, please don't be angry! It's not worth getting angry at such a person! What are you going to do?"
Lan Qingwu didn't answer, but just said: "Go and get this palace's Phoenix Seal, this palace needs to issue an imperial decree!"
Ru Ping's heart skipped a beat. "Your Majesty, what are you going to do? Although Concubine Bai is only a noble lady, she has given birth to the Fourth Prince. Even for the sake of the Fourth Prince's reputation, His Majesty will definitely not agree with you doing this to Concubine Bai..."
Lan Qingwu's voice was slightly cold: "Then let him come to me and talk! Face? His own mother has been taking human lives for so many years, how could he, as a son, not know this! Or is he the same as his mother -"
Ru Ping raised her voice slightly, "Your Majesty! Calm down! No matter what, he is still His Majesty's son. Have you ever thought about how, in His Majesty's mind, the lives of those palace servants cannot be compared with his own son? You can punish Concubine Bai appropriately. If His Majesty is dissatisfied, I am afraid that it will affect your relationship with His Majesty!"
Ru Ping's words struck Lan Qingwu's heart like a heavy hammer. She was silent for a moment. "Yes! After all, he is still someone else's master, someone else's father! He is still an emperor after all! Ru Ping, tell me, if there was a place far, far away where everyone could only have one partner, wouldn't things be less complicated than they are now?"
Ru Ping was puzzled: "Madam, what are you talking about? How could there be such a place?"
Lan Qingwu sighed deeply: "Go and get the Phoenix Seal!"
Ru Ping had said everything she needed to say, and she believed that her master would have her own judgment and choice.
Lan Qingwu had rarely issued imperial decrees since ascending to the throne of Empress. This was one of the few formal decrees she had issued, and the only one so far issued without the knowledge of the Emperor Shenwu. Ru Ping personally announced the Empress's decree, and upon hearing it, Concubine Bai collapsed to the ground. Still unwilling to give up, she asked, "Why has the Empress confined me? I have always treated you with the utmost respect and never overstepped my bounds!"
Ru Ping said coldly, "Master Bai, the Queen said she would summon all six palaces to report this matter later. Then you can take a good look at the evidence to prove how those palace maids disappeared one after another! What do you think? Until then, you should stay in your own palace!"
Emperor Shenwu was busy investigating the matter of the poisonous bees. After finding some clues, he quickly locked onto the person behind the scenes - the remnants of Prince Shen, the abandoned king. At that time, one of his subordinates was an old man who was particularly good at using poison. The old man was caught, but there was a fish that slipped through the net, a young apprentice.
When Prince Shen was on the run, this apprentice was separated and fled. After so many years, the apprentice has grown into a man, but he still remembers the kindness of his master who took him in and taught him, so he always wanted to avenge his master.
Emperor Shenwu thought coldly, could it be that these few remaining small figures still wanted their old masters to see the light of day again and replace them? What a pity, this day will never come.
At this moment, the Emperor Shenwu heard the Empress's new decree and was immediately annoyed. Then, thinking that Lan Qingwu must have his own reasons, he narrowed his eyes when he saw the rice paper Ruping had sent him and read the contents. He thought to himself, the Fourth Prince is about to be engaged, and something like this has happened at this critical juncture. Could the Fourth Prince have anything to do with this? Given Lan Qingwu's stubborn temper, this was a truly thorny situation.
Emperor Shenwu rubbed his forehead. Li Xiang sensed a storm brewing and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, Lord Lan and Lord Lin are still waiting for your summons!"
Emperor Shenwu straightened his shoulders and said, "Alright! Let them all come in."
