When the Empress heard this, she coldly said, "This consort is the legitimate Empress, so this consort disdains using such underhanded methods to confuse the Emperor. So what if she's powerful? She still doesn't have an heir. Without an heir, no matter how favored she is, it's all for naught. "
"That's right, Your Highness, you must pull yourself together and take back the phoenix seal. Don't worry, we're all on your side. "Consort Shu said.
Consort Xue was the most favored right now, so she was everyone's enemy. Of course they had to work together to deal with her.
The Empress tightly clenched her fists, "Tell me, what exactly happened? This consort believes that Qingying and Xiao Haizi wouldn't dare to lie, but with Li Jinzhong testifying for Chu Xuanchen, even this consort is confused! "
"That's right! We're also confused! If Qingying didn't lie, then how did Chu Xuanchen suddenly become the Emperor? "
"Li Jinzhong said that Chu Xuanchen had been waiting in the Imperial Study the entire time. With him testifying, I think it should be true. In that case, Little Haizi and Qingying lied? "
Hearing this, the Empress angrily gritted her teeth and a sinister killing intent appeared in her eyes, "This consort will go back and investigate thoroughly. If Xiao Haizi and Qingying really lied to this consort, this consort definitely won't let them off."
She said this, but she was suspicious in her heart.
She always suspected that she had been tricked by Consort Xue and Chu Xuanchen, but she didn't have any proof.
No matter what, she hated those two people. She definitely wouldn't let them off!

After Chu Xuanchen returned to The Emperor of Li's residence, he immediately told Yun Ruoyue about what had happened in the palace.
When she heard that the Empress had lost the phoenix seal, Yun Ruoyue felt a lot better.
She said, "Your Highness, the Empress lost the phoenix seal and was punished by being grounded. This can be considered a small revenge for the children. But Qingying clearly saw you go to the Phoenix Algae Palace, so how did you become the Emperor? "
Not only were the concubines curious about this matter, even she was curious.
Chu Xuanchen chuckled, "He didn't become the emperor. It's just that the person who met Concubine Xue in the bedchamber was always the emperor. After the Emperor left court, he immediately went to the Phoenix Algae Palace. When I entered the Phoenix Algae Palace, he and Concubine Xue were already inside! "
"So that's how it is. However, Qingying did indeed see you enter the Phoenix Algae Palace. Could it be that you secretly came out?"
"Smart," Chu Xuanchen said. "After I walked into the courtyard, I flew out from the other side of the wall. Then, I returned to the imperial study."
"No wonder the Empress couldn't catch you. You left long ago! Moreover, with Li Jinzhong as your witness, the Emperor will not suspect you. "Yun Ruoyue said.
"Yes." Chu Xuanchen stroked Yun Ruoyue's head, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "But this is just the beginning. What's next is the main event!"
He would make the Empress regret assassinating Nan Feng and Xing 'er.
At this moment, he said, "Wife, Wang found something. Boss Liu and this group of assassins were hired by the Empress, but they were very weak. So many people couldn't beat Young Master Su and Xiao Die. Do you know why? "
Yun Ruoyue shook her head, "I don't know. However, I've always found it strange. The Empress has power and influence, so why would she hire assassins of this level to assassinate her? This isn't her style. She should have hired the best assassins. "
At this point, she suddenly said, "Could it be that the Empress' subordinates didn't do a good job? That's why she found this group of assassins? "
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Yes, Wang found out that this was done by Qingying. According to Aunt Tao, the Empress seemed to have given Qingying a lot of money and told her to find a top expert. In the end, Qingying found this group of people, which means that she embezzled a lot of money. "
Yun Ruoyue patted her chest in a panicked manner, "It's a good thing that Qingying was greedy, otherwise we would be in danger!"
"Qingying is deeply trusted by the Empress and is the Empress' most important right hand, but she embezzled the Empress' money behind the Empress' back. Wang can use this to get rid of her. That way, the Empress will lose this arm. "Chu Xuanchen said.
Yun Ruoyue also nodded, "Alright, it's best if the Empress has no one to use. That way, she won't be able to harm anyone else."
-
After talking to Yun Ruoyue, Chu Xuanchen sent a letter to Chun Tao.
After Chun Tao received the letter, her lips curled into a cold smile.
His highness wanted her to use Qingying's embezzlement to get rid of Qingying. Very good, she would do it now.
"Chun Tao, what are you holding in your hand?" At this time, an extremely cold voice came from behind Chun Tao.
Chun Tao turned around in fright and saw Qingying coldly staring at the letter in her hand.
She hurriedly swallowed the letter.
"Good, Chun Tao, you actually swallowed the letter! There must be something wrong with this letter. Spit it out for me, spit it out! "Qingying said as she went to cover Chun Tao's mouth.
Chun Tao did her best to swallow the letter.
She definitely could not let Qingying see this letter, otherwise she would be finished!
Very quickly, she swallowed the letter. She coughed as she said, "Ke, ke ….. let go of me."
Seeing that Chun Tao had already swallowed the letter, Qing Ying was filled with rage.
She angrily said, "Today, the Empress was framed by The Emperor of Li and Xue Fei and you're sending a letter here. I'm guessing that you must be colluding with The Emperor of Li. But it's very easy for you to see Xue Fei in the palace, you don't need to send a letter. For you to use a messenger pigeon, that person must be outside the palace. Speak, are you sending a letter to The Emperor of Li? "
Chun Tao raised her brows, "What The Emperor of Li and Xue Fei? I don't know what you're talking about. You're simply speaking nonsense. "
Qingying sneered, "You dare say that you're not colluding with The Emperor of Li? This letter must have been written by him to you. There must be evidence of your conspiracy inside, so you don't dare to let me see it! "
Chun Tao's eyes flashed and she coldly said, "Who said that? How could The Emperor of Li know someone like me? Don't wrongly accuse me."
"I wrongly accuse you? Let me tell you, Chun Tao, I always felt that there was something wrong with you. Last time, when I was talking with the Empress, I saw you sweeping the floor outside. At that time, you were acting very sneaky. You must have been eavesdropping on our conversation and then sent the contents of our conversation to The Emperor of Li. The Emperor of Li must have known that the Empress wanted to catch him and Xue Fei, so he made the first move and framed the Empress! "
"I was also beaten thirty times because of this. If it wasn't for the Empress taking pity on me, she would have already executed me!"
"Also, the Empress refuses to listen to my explanation and suspects that I betrayed her. All of this was caused by you. You are the one who truly betrayed the Empress, right? "
Chun Tao coldly raised her brows, "Sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Please don't disturb my sleep."
"You're still pretending, right? I want you to return my innocence. Let's go and confront the Empress! "Qingying said as she grabbed Chun Tao's collar and brought her into the Empress' bedroom.
At this time, the Empress was worried about losing her phoenix seal.
Suddenly, she heard Qingying loudly say, "Empress, this servant will tell you something. Chun Tao is The Emperor of Li's spy. She betrayed you."
