Chapter 362 - The Change of Mind

What was going on?

She looked around in fear. After waiting for a while, she realized that no guards had arrived. Even the palace guards outside had not come in. She became even more frightened.

"My beloved concubine, there's no need to shout anymore. No one will ever hear you scream and come over here." Murong Chen said to Du Xiawei.

Du Xiawei looked at Xiao Qianhan in fear for a while, then asked Murong Chen, "The emperor knows who she is, right?"

Murong Chen nodded, and the fear in her eyes grew deeper and deeper, "She is Xiao Qianhan."

To the commoners in the Kingdom of Zi Yue, Xiao Qianhan's name wasn't foreign at all, especially a few years ago, when it resounded like thunder in their ears. However, the moment the Xiao Family was massacred, Xiao Qianhan disappeared without a trace. All these years, she could only hear some things about Xiao Qianhan from others, but those were just legends.

Why would Xiao Qianhan suddenly return? Coming back to the palace?

Du Xiawei was a smart girl, and quickly understood what was going on. Could it be that … Ran Ke?

"Looks like all of you are awake. Very good, only after you are awake can you settle your accounts." Xiao Qianhan no longer wasted time. After Du Xiawei also became clear-headed, she decided to attack now.

"There's a possibility that you misunderstood my sister the empress, and there's a possibility that there's a misunderstanding as well. Please listen to me, I've never thought of harming my sister the empress." The Emperor and I truly loved each other. My heart was filled with guilt towards the Empress' sister. So I kept thinking of a way to fix it. "Really, everything I say now is true, nothing is false." Du Xiawei said in panic. He thought about the terrifying pressure he had just endured and how it was easy for the Xiao Qianhan in front of him to kill her and the emperor! She hadn't even become the empress yet, so how could she die without knowing why?!

It was already too late for Murong Chen to stop Du Xiawei. She could not wait any longer to explain that the Du Xiawei he saw earlier was completely different from the gentle and soft woman he saw before. While he was stunned, her heart was filled with doubts. Could it be that she had always been pretending in front of him?

It was already deep into the night.

"Is it because I feel guilty for poisoning the empress with chronic poison?" Du Xiawei, your guilt is extraordinary. " Xiao Qianhan directly exposed Du Xiawei.

Du Xiawei looked at Xiao Qianhan in shock, how could this be? How did Xiao Qianhan know? In the entire harem, not a single person knew that Ran Ke had been poisoned and they all thought that Ran Ke had gotten severely ill from losing her favour. How did Xiao Qianhan know? This one is incredible. She shook her head in denial. "No, I didn't."

"Chronic poison? "What's going on?" Murong Chen's expression changed greatly, although he did not like Ran Ke right now, he did not want for anything to happen to him! In this harem, Ran Ke is the empress, just who has the guts to actually dare to harm Ran Ke!

Du Xiawei shook her head in panic. "Your Majesty, it was Xiao Qianhan who framed me. How could I harm Empress Sis? I've always wanted to compensate Empress Sis, so why would I harm Empress Sis? "

"It's you?" You actually dared to poison Ran Ke! You actually dared to poison Ran Ke without telling us! "How dare you!" Murong Chen was furious, she slapped him hard without thinking. As the emperor, she was proficient in playing with the heart and mind on an official's field, so when she saw Du Xiawei's flustered look, he immediately guessed the reason.

Du Xiawei was beaten until she almost fainted. Her body swayed, and she spat out another mouthful of blood. Why? Why did you do this to me? Even after I snatched away the emperor's beloved, I had never thought of harming Ran Ke. Why did you frame me so indiscriminately? "

"Shut up!" Murong Chen slapped him again.

Seeing that, Xiao Qianhan's eyes flashed, as though Murong Chen was in a rage, slapping him one by one. But in reality, Murong Chen was protecting Du Xiawei, and wanted him to live.

It had to be said that after staying on the throne for many years, Murong Chen had completely changed and was extremely skilled at scheming.

"Your Majesty, do you really not believe in chenqie? "You've never done anything so severe to Chenqie before. Chenqie's heart hurts so much." Du Xiawei covered his face and looked at Murong Chen with tears streaming down his face. She never thought that Murong Chen would actually distrust her so much, even if she was the one who did this, he couldn't possibly distrust her so much.

Murong Chen could not bear it any longer, her entire palm was trembling slightly, and she said in the end with a helpless tone, "Then why did you harm Ran Ke?"

Du Xiawei knew very well that she could not admit it. Furthermore, looking at the expression in Murong Chen's eyes, she seemed to have instantly understood something. Her thoughts raced as she lowered her head and said carefully, "Your Majesty, someone must have framed me. I was wrongly accused. I swear to God, I will absolutely not do anything that would harm Empress Sis. If I really do something that would harm Empress Sis, chenqie will definitely suffer retribution in the future! "

Once he said such a heavy oath, Xiao Qianhan would definitely believe him, right? Ran Ke's luck was just too good, he had already stepped into the gates of hell, and in the end, Xiao Qianhan actually appeared!

"If someone has truly wronged you, I will definitely find out the truth!" Murong Chen immediately said.

Then, the two of them looked at Xiao Qianhan.

Xiao Qianhan clapped, she had just watched a good show, an eye-catching show!

"Finished performing?" Her voice was neither light nor loud, but it seemed as if it reached deep into their hearts, causing them to tremble.

The two of them looked at Xiao Qianhan in shock, she never expected them to admire her so much, to be able to see through her!

Xiao Qianhan retracted her gaze, and could not be bothered to look at the two of them. "Chronic poisons are not fatal, fortunately I came in time. You can rest assured. If something really does happen to her, I will use every method at my disposal to subvert Kingdom of Zi Yue! Everyone in the Du Family will die with her. "

Following Xiao Qianhan's words, the expressions of the two became more and more nervous.

Xiao Qianhan immediately took out a porcelain bottle and took out two pills, "One for each person, eat them."

"Xiao Qianhan! I am now the emperor of the Kingdom of Zi Yue! Ran Ke and I are already married. Did Ran Ke know that you were going to kill me? I still remember the kindness you gave me back then, and I have never forgotten it. As long as you give me one more chance, I will definitely not take the wrong path again! Or before I die, let me see Ran Ke. " Murong Chen looked at the pill in Xiao Qianhan's hand, her expression becoming more panic-stricken.

Du Xiawei continuously shook her head and retreated, looking at the pill in Xiao Qianhan's hand, she felt fear as though she saw a ghost cow and snake.

"Eating the pills will not be too late. Should I force you to eat, or should you take the initiative to do so?"
