"Where is the Ministry of Justice?" "Investigate this matter overnight. Tomorrow morning, find out the reason for this investigation. If not, you will be tested." The young Emperor Xuanyuan, Chen Mo, gave a loud shout as his eyes darkened. He strode forward and slowly approached the two corpses.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When they reached that place, Xuanyuan Chen frowned slightly as his hands trembled, wanting to touch the two charred corpses.

"Your Majesty, please restrain your grief and take care of your dragon body." All the ministers, imperial guards, and imperial concubines were kneeling on the ground as they cried out in unison.

The next day, the Son of Heaven announced to the world that a fire had broken out in the Yi Palace.

The Eastern clan had three generations of loyal followers. They were loyal to the nation and had rendered countless meritorious service, but in the end, they were sent to the border.

Now, the Eastern Queen had suddenly died in a fire. What a coincidence!

When they heard this news, the entire world began to boil. The entire nation was shocked, and all the people began to discuss with one another.

"Have you heard? The Eastern Queen died in the Yi Palace last night and was burned alive. "

"Empress Dongfang had already encountered a great change not long after she ascended to the throne. Now that she's dead, one can't help but let their imaginations run wild."

"The entire Dongfang family is loyal, why is there such an ending? Is it really to be accompanied by a king like a tiger?"

"Ahh, as soon as you enter the palace gates, they are as deep as the ocean. Since the ancient emperors have been merciless. Everyone in the world knows that the imperial palace is a good place, so how could they know the darkness and cruelty that lay within? "

"Stop talking, be careful of your head."

Within the Forbidden City, it was snow-white. White silk was everywhere, and there was mourning everywhere. In the palace of the emperor, young Emperor Xuanyuan and Chen Mo were sitting on the dragon throne, expressionless. All the civil and military officials were standing still. No one dared to say anything.

"Yesterday, the Eastern Emperor died, and today, the news has spread throughout the capital. I want to know, what exactly happened?" On the Dragon Throne, the young Emperor Xuanyuan, Chen Mo, calmly looked down at the civil and military officials as he spoke in an indifferent tone.

As Xuanyuan Chen's words came out, the officials all broke out in a cold sweat as their bodies involuntarily trembled.

After a long while, one of the old men took a shaky step forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Your majesty, please forgive me. It was this old man's fault that the news was not sealed. Please punish me, your majesty." As the sound of his voice faded, the old man bowed and did not speak any further, quietly waiting for Xuanyuan Chen to deal with him.

The young Emperor Xuanyuan, Chen Mo, quietly sat on the dragon throne. Looking at the old man kneeling before him, he had no expression on his face, so it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"You old bastard. You know that Zhen can't do anything to you, yet you still openly ask for forgiveness. Truly …" The Young Emperor, Xuan Yuan, Chen Mo, cursed angrily in his heart.

Originally, the people of the world had some complaints about this ending. But now, the Eastern Queen had suddenly been burned to death in the Yi Palace, and now, with the situation in a state of turmoil, the people's hearts were unsettled, so it was impossible for them to easily deal with the important officials of the imperial court.

Thinking to this point, Xuanyuan Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "Forget it. This matter is not your fault. Rise."

"Thank you, your majesty the Emperor." The old man gave a loud bow of thanks before standing up and returning to his seat.

"Imperial Physician, and the Ministry of Justice, have they thoroughly investigated the cause of the empress's death?" The young Emperor, Xuanyuan Chen Mo, leaned back slightly and closed his eyes as he spoke.

"Reporting to the Emperor, we haven't found anything yet, but I believe we'll have the results soon." The Minister of Justice replied.

"Reporting to the emperor, this old subject has seen that the empress's death was indeed caused by fire." The imperial physician replied.

Emperor Xuan Yuan opened his eyes and looked at the two men. He said faintly, "The officials are trying to find a way to pacify the people and at the same time, the nation is thinking of the Eastern Empress. There can be no mistakes."

After which, Xuanyuan Chen closed his eyes again and waved to Little Treasure.

The eunuch Little Treasure bowed, and with his feminine voice, he stepped forward and said loudly, "If there's anything, let's start. If there's nothing else, we can leave the court."

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" As the sound of his voice faded, the officials all retreated.

Only the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and the head steward of the imperial physicians remained kneeling on the ground, never leaving.

When the eunuch saw this, he bowed towards the emperor before slowly exiting the hall, closing the doors tightly behind him.

"The two of you, if you have something to say, just say it." After the officials left, Xuanyuan Chen Mo opened his eyes and said to the two people below.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and the old imperial physician looked at each other, then nodded slightly.

"To report to Your Majesty, although Esteemed Empress was burned to death, before she died, the empress and her servant, Xuemei, were tightly tied with ropes. Thus, it wasn't an accident that they were burned to death, but someone did it on purpose." The vice minister of the Ministry of Justice said respectfully.

Xuanyuan Chen Mo widened his eyes as he stared intently at the two people below and shouted, "Are you sure about this matter?"

The old imperial physician trembled slightly as well and said respectfully, "This old official has already experienced corpses. I can confirm that they were tied up before they died."

"Bastard!" Xuanyuan Chen shouted as he slapped the Dragon Throne. "Ministry of Justice, investigate this thoroughly for me. We need to find the truth! How dare you attack the empress! There is no law!"

Both the Minister of Justice and the Head Imperial Physician nodded in agreement.

With a wave of his hand, Xuanyuan Chen and Chen Mo respectfully left.

The eunuch, Little Treasure, stood silently outside the hall. He wouldn't dare to enter without the Emperor's summons.

"Was the empress harmed by someone? Just who would have the guts to do so? " Xuanyuan Chen said to himself as he raised his head and closed his eyes.

The Eastern Kingdom had all been sent to the border, and the Eastern Queen had been sent to the cold palace. This matter had just come to an end and couldn't be brought up by anyone, and now the Eastern Queen had been killed by someone. It was easy to imagine that this man had ill intentions, and wanted to attack the empress in such an unstable situation.

"Who is it?" Xuanyuan Chen mumbled to himself in confusion.

In a palace somewhere in the palace, an old man and a young girl were sitting at a table. The old man smiled sinisterly. His slightly sinister eyes blossomed with a strange light. "The young girl was exceptionally beautiful, as cold as frost, and her beautiful eyes were shining with a proud light.

"Esteemed Empress, now that the Eastern Emperor is dead, the Empress can reasonably ascend the throne of the Empress." The old man's voice was like an owl's, sharp and ear-piercing.

The young woman smiled slightly with a smug look on her face. She waved her hand and said, "Right now, Empress Dongfang has just died. The emperor will not reseal his title for a short period of time. Let's talk about it after he's done with his limelight."

"The empress is wise, oh no, the empress is wise." The old man said in a flattering manner.

When the girl heard this, the pride on her face became even stronger as she let out a laugh.

The Golden-purple City was like a prison. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a paradise, with endless delicacies and endless amounts of beautiful women's money.

However, they did not know that the moment they entered the palace gates were as deep as the sea. Since the ancient emperor was ruthless, the inner palace was not as perfect as they had imagined. The inside was even darker and dirtier than outside.

It was a common sight to fight openly and secretly. It could be said that every step of the way was filled with fear and trepidation. However, countless people were like moths to a flame, trying their best to enter this place.
