Chapter 1687: Raging Fury

"Well, don't let yourself be wronged."An Xuetang chuckled, with her personality, who would dare to let her be wronged!On the other side, the battered flower was sent back to the makeshift camp by Yun...Facing the Queen's blazing fury and interrogations, Xizi Ke'er remained impassive.

Seeing her unyielding attitude, refusing to admit fault in the slightest, the Empress was now utterly enraged. Her eyes were bloodshot, and the killing intent within them was palpable.

At this point, Xizi Ke'er had no choice but to kneel down with both knees, looking like a well-behaved subject.

She neither bowed her head nor did she appear flustered, with a look of bewilderment on her face, she clasped her hands together and slowly began to speak, "My daughter is unaware of what she has done wrong To have caused Your Majesty such displeasure, I humbly request that Your Majesty enlighten me, so that I may know my mistake and make amends."

"!"

To see her actually insisting on feigning madness to the end, the Empress couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Good...good, a man of no knowledge!"

But she had no energy to continue bickering with this rebellious daughter, so she stared at her and laid it all out, "As for last night's incident where I had someone poison you, don't even try to tell me you were unaware of it."

To poison her own daughter, and yet she can speak so righteously. Xizi Ke'er couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

But, she wanted to be honest with herself. But who said she had to take that bait

Thinking this way, Xizi Ke'er seemed to have been deeply shocked after hearing her words. At this moment, a hint of astonishment appeared in her eyes, and her expression was even more unbelievable. She just stared straight into the Empress's eyes, "Mother...Mother Empress, what do you mean by that Poisoning Mother Empress poisoned your daughter"

At this moment, she addressed her not as Your Majesty, but as Mother.

She wanted to place herself in her daughter's shoes at this very moment, wanting to use that identity to disgust her, to make her sick.

Let her think it over carefully. As a mother, she would actually order someone to poison her own biological daughter whom she carried for ten months in her womb.

Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, her cruel actions are worse than an animal.

She wants her to see for herself, as a mother, whether her actions are worthy of heaven and earth's conscience.

And Xizi Ke'er's denial, unexpectedly, left the Empress speechless.

She had already rehearsed what she wanted to say, but at this moment, she didn't know where to begin.

I thought I would confess to her and then take the opportunity to press her for answers, but who knew she wouldn't play by the rules She didn't respond to my words, which actually made me lose the initiative for a moment.

Thus, consumed by rage, the queen could only stare with wide eyes, her pupils practically bulging out. An uncontrollable tide of hatred surged within her.

A moment later, her voice returned as if finding its way back, "Well done, Xizi Caier, you are truly remarkable. This emperor has a good daughter, indeed! You are doing well!"

At this time, besides the Empress and Xi Tzu Ke'er, there was also a eunuch standing in the Imperial Study. This eunuch didn't dare to make a single sound; his hands were currently holding a wooden tray.

And on the wooden tray, a cup of poisoned wine had already been poured.

The Empress glared at Xizi Ke'er, gritting her teeth as she finished speaking, then turned to the eunuch and shouted, "Bring it over here!"

Besides the queen, the eunuch who carried the tray also knew there was poison in the cup.

The eunuch, upon thinking that the empress would poison her own biological daughter, was already drenched in sweat.

After being called upon by the Queen, he dared not refuse. He could only grit his teeth and walk forward carrying the wooden tray.

His large hands trembled with excitement, though his palms were slick with sweat. He couldn't help but tremble all over, a sliver of uncontrollable fear mixing within him.

But in order not to let the Queen see, he could only grit his teeth and bear it.

He knew that if he showed any sign of impropriety, it wouldn't just be Princess Kǎo'er who died today, but him as well.

But no matter how he disguised himself, the eunuch's face was still deathly pale at this moment. Countless thoughts swirled in his mind, making him want to roar and scream, yet he dared not utter a single sound.

When the eunuch brought over the poisoned wine, the empress personally reached out to pick up the poisoned wine from the wooden tray.

The eunuch lowered his head and pursed his lips, but inside he was already terrified.

If he had witnessed the Emperor poisoning his own daughter, with His Majesty's temperament, in order to protect his reputation, how could he possibly live to walk out of this imperial study

Only the mouths of the dead are truly silent.

So, now that Princess Caier is dead, he can't live either.

At this moment, Xizi Ke'er glanced thoughtfully at the cup held by the Empress, then looked at the eunuch who was already sweating profusely.

She quickly guessed what it was, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

However, before the Empress made any move, she took the initiative to speak, her tone not as harsh, but calmly asked, "I wonder why Mother despises me so"

Yesterday's incident, it was clearly the elder sister who caused it. The deaths of dozens of young women in the city were all at the hands of the male favorite raised by the elder sister.

"It was the Empress who shielded that male consort, causing these dozens of murders in the capital. Yesterday, I only dealt with that male consort. I truly don't know what I did wrong to incur such a price from my mother, to make her willing to do anything to take my life"

Faced with her question, the queen simply snorted coldly and made no intention of answering. After all, she was in the wrong, so naturally, she wouldn't respond.

She then walked up to her step by step, holding a cup of wine, and looked down at her condescendingly. "Ke'er, I ask myself, have I ever treated you poorly since childhood Why do you still collude with the King of Beijiang"

"!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xizi Ke'er knew that the Empress was utterly shameless. She was simply throwing this pot of treason at her head.

Even now, the Empress can say these things without needing to provide any evidence whatsoever.

Ah... For the sake of killing her, this good mother of hers is truly capable of anything.

But hearing such unsubstantiated accusations, she naturally couldn't admit to them. So at this moment, she straightened her upper body, her deep eyes hiding an extremely firm determination:

"The son has never colluded with others, whether it be the King of the Northern Frontier or anyone else. The son dares to swear his life by heaven, that he would never betray the Western Liang Kingdom in this lifetime. I just don't know what evidence my mother has to prove that the son colluded with the King of the Northern Frontier"

The Queen stared at her, “You’ve been to Beijiang City.”

She wouldn't deny that, after all, if she hadn't gone to Beijang City, she wouldn't have known An Xuetang.

It's even less likely that she would realize that her trip to Beijiang City was entirely a plot by Xizi Panger.

The venomous Xizi, Pan'er, had once wished for her to die in Beijiang City.

So, a scheme was meticulously crafted, layer upon layer, to draw her into the conspiracy. In the end, she foolishly walked right into the military camp of Beijang City.

Luckily, at that time in the Bei Jiang City military camp, she ran into the Princess of Bei Jiang. It was the Princess who saw through her being tricked and saw through Xi Zi's ulterior motives.d, he insisted that he wasn't anyone else, and everything he did was in accordance with heaven's will, his duty in the world.An Xuetang was furious listening to these words. Seeing that nothing could...
