Empress Dowager Yuan's face was hot, and her complexion turned red and blue, feeling that she had lost the character of her family.

She just wanted to dig a hole to get in, and wanted to leave immediately, but He Lie didn't move, standing in the original position like a green pine.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan's complexion became even uglier, she stood there stiffly, neither walking nor sitting, in a dilemma.

"Patter."

The door of the small room that had been closed for a long time was finally opened from the inside.

Qin He Xinbu came out from the inside, with a smile on his inconspicuous face that blended into the crowd, the smile was pleasant and cold, and the two red moles on one cheek were bright and eye-catching.

No, it's blood.

Several girls quickly realized this, their faces turned pale, and they quickly looked away.

Qin He walked towards Chu Yi with a clear goal. Wherever he passed, everyone quickly avoided him, but they mostly avoided him. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at him secretly.

Someone accidentally glanced at Qin He, and gasped slightly in fright. Qin He's slender eyes were as deep as an abyss and as cold as ice.

If it is said that Qin He was still a human being before he entered the small room; now he is like an evil ghost from the eighteenth hell.

Humans and evil spirits are not creatures of the same world.

With a series of shocking and startled gazes, Qin He walked up to Chu Yi unhurriedly, bowed in a dignified manner, and said, "Your Highness, the interrogation is over."

Even though his thin voice was deliberately softened, it was still filled with an uncomfortable gloom.

After Qin He bowed to each other, many people noticed that his fingers were also stained with blood.

He has an ordinary face, but his hands are beautiful, the roots are slender like jade, like the masterpiece of a master sculptor, the bright red blood on his fingers is so dazzling.

"It's been recruited." A malicious smile appeared on Qin He's face, which was even more strange against the blood stains on his cheeks, "It's Li Han, Eunuch Li."

Everyone's eyes turned to look at an old eunuch with gray hair and beard and a dust whisk in his hand beside Queen Mother Yuan.

Li Han's face was pale, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and the fly whisk in his hand trembled violently several times.

Qin He continued: "Your Highness, it was Li Han who chose this painting boat on purpose, and ordered the internal officials to arrange carefully selected screens and seats beside the dilapidated guardrail."

Following his narration, everyone looked at the screen beside the guardrail, and saw nine lifelike golden dragons embroidered on the five screens, shining in the sunlight.

Anyone can tell at a glance that the seat next to the screen is the throne, and naturally no one dares to sit there except the emperor.

Immediately afterwards, Qin He's cold eyes turned to the broken guardrail, his eyes were cold and vicious, like a poisonous snake with its fangs exposed, hissing.

"This painting boat is a tribute from the Yuan family." Qin He Xu Xu said again, his high-pitched voice seemed to be poisoned.

This painting boat was a birthday gift presented by the Yuan family in Yangzhou during the Longevity Festival last year.

Chu Yi turned around slightly, and the clothes that flew up seemed to bring up a changing cloud. He also looked at the broken guardrail and sighed: "If that's the case, then take Yuan Zhe down."

His tone was slow, neither light nor heavy, but full of menace.

Everyone else was shocked when they heard the words.

That is Yuan Zhe.

Although he is a commoner with no official status, he is the next head of the Yuan family and the mainstay of the court in the future.

The queen mother is from the Yuan family.

King Kang has the blood of the Yuan family.

With the strong support of the late emperor in the past twenty years, the Yuan family rose step by step, until now, it has faintly become the head of all the aristocratic families.

If Yuan Zhe was really brought down and punished, it would be tantamount to the emperor publicly provoking the Yuan family and other aristocratic families, which would definitely cause an uproar.

Chu You could barely maintain his composure, but Queen Mother Yuan was already on the verge of collapse, staggered slightly, and her pupils shrank endlessly.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

This magnificent painting boat suddenly seemed to have turned into a glacier stretching for thousands of miles, extremely cold.

With Chu Yi's order, the guards around Jinyi pulled out their Xiuchun knives one after another, the blades were flickering with cold light, and they rushed out one by one like tigers aiming at their prey.

A faint salty smell floated in the air, lingering at the tip of everyone's nose, lingering.

"Stop..." Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes panicked, her face turned pale, and she wanted to yell and say stop.

"Crack!"

Two moderate high-fives sounded, interrupting Queen Mother Yuan's words, and immediately attracted all the eyes around her.

The person applauding is Fengyang.

When Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes met Fengyang, she felt her throat tightened and ached, and she couldn't speak the following words, and her usual high spirits were almost defeated.

Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all.

"This play is not bad." Feng Yang said casually.

These simple four words had a profound meaning, and it brought back the souls of everyone, and the atmosphere changed again.

Feng Yang's fierce eyes shot at Yuan Zhe, and he said in a sharp voice: "The Yuan family dares to pay tribute with such defective products, it is also bold."

Yuan Zhe looked at Feng Yang reluctantly, and exhausted all his strength to not be completely crushed by the opponent's aura, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He is a smart person, so he has already realized the crisis.

The eldest prince Chu Yi did not intend to kill King Kang and the Queen Mother. From the very beginning, his target was himself.

It was the Yuan family.

Their Yuan family is the biggest backer behind King Kang, they have long been a thorn in the side of the First Prince, a thorn in his flesh, the First Prince has long wanted to bring down the Yuan Family, today they just seized the opportunity to take the opportunity to make trouble.

Yuan Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in a very short period of time, and made a decision in his mind.

He is from the Yuan family, so naturally he must put the interests of the family first.

Yuan Zhe was able to bend and stretch, and immediately stood up from the armchair, lifted his robe with his right hand, and knelt firmly on his knees.

This kneeling showed a noble spirit, and also showed a kind of aristocratic character.

"Your Majesty, the Yuan family was careless to offer such inferior products. It was the Yuan family's negligence. As the mother's family of the Empress Dowager, the Yuan family has a big tree that attracts rumors and powerful people, so they should act more cautiously."

Yuan Zhe admitted his mistake for the Yuan family without saying a word, and looked up at the emperor and Chu Yi in front of him.

There is an obvious meaning in the words, that someone is probably setting up the Yuan family in this matter.

The sword points to the emperor.

Even kneeling on the deck, Yuan Zhe's spine was still straight, exuding a demeanor that was neither humble nor overbearing.

This kneeling, on the contrary, gave the aristocratic family present a backbone.

Yuan Zhe admitted his mistake so quickly that even Kang Wang Chuyou didn't realize it.
