Chapter 817 Do you dare to tell the world how Li Moxuan died?
"Queen, if you have anything to say, please come back to the palace with me!"
He tried to remain calm. He could explain that matter!
But not in this place, under the eyes of so many people.
The Queen dodged his outstretched hand. After not seeing him for years, she was no longer accustomed to his touch. Now, she didn't want him to touch her even a little bit!
"Why do we have to go back to the palace to talk about it?"
"Once I return to the palace, who can prove that my actions are right or wrong?" She said with a face full of sarcasm, not disguising it. "It can't be an emperor who is used to being a dictator, right?"
The last sentence made all those kneeling on the ground lower their bodies again.
"Oh my God, is this something they can listen to?"
"The Queen is so audacious to refute the Emperor and embarrass him in front of so many people!"
"It's over! The Emperor and Empress of Tianqi are about to break up!!"
"Isn't it said that the Queen is virtuous? How can she be virtuous when she's defying the Emperor like this?"
Many people complained in their hearts, accusing the queen of disregarding the overall situation and committing insubordination.
But there were also many women who sincerely admired the queen's courage and her guts to challenge authority.
"Empress! Do you really have to do this?!" Emperor Qiwen wanted to fight for it one last time. After all, they had been married for many years, and he didn't want to fall out with her in front of the whole world.
She shouted at him angrily: "What else?!"
There seemed to be a raging and roaring beast in her eyes, wanting to break free from the shackles, break out of the body, tear the people in front of her apart alive, drink their blood, and eat their flesh!
Emperor Qiwen looked at her and his heart couldn't help but feel heavy and stuffy.
She hated him so much!
The scene became cold and silent, and the entire space seemed to be frozen in ice.
In these hottest days of summer, everyone felt cold and shivered, as if they were about to freeze to death.
A man walked out of the crowd, his face heavy and confused.
"Sister-in-law, you have always been approachable and kind to others, and you never do anything aggressive. But why are you so..."
"Do you know?" The queen turned her eyes to the person who came and asked.
"What?" Baili Qingren was surprised for a moment after hearing this, but only for a moment.
Her sharp eyes changed slightly, and she asked again seriously: "Do you know about what happened back then?"
At this moment, a chill suddenly rose on Baili Qingren's back.
He saw from her desperate eyes why she behaved so abnormally today.
She knew what happened that year...
Faced with her questioning, Baili Qingren was extremely confused and could not utter the word "I don't know". In the end, he could only remain silent.
The queen felt cold all over, even colder than those people kneeling on the ground!
He actually knew it too!
Back then, Baili Qingren had put in a lot of effort to bring her and Baili Fengjue together. He said, "Sister Xiaowei, if you become my sister-in-law, then if my brother bullies you in the future, just tell me and I'll help you beat him up!"
He also said that no matter what, he would always stand by her side!
"It turns out that all vows and promises are so vulnerable in the face of time!!"
The queen let out a desperate and desolate laugh, and her helpless yet strong eyes made Baili Qingren feel ashamed.
"One was his biological father, and the other was his respected and beloved uncle. These were the two people he trusted most in the world, and yet, in the end, they were the ones who sent him to his death!"
"Who in this world is worthy of trust?"
"Emperor's sister-in-law..."
Baili Qingren wanted to explain something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt that all explanations were pale.
Back then, he failed to save Xun'er because of his incompetence, and he did not tell her the truth later because of his cowardice.
Now any explanation is just an excuse to escape, which makes her feel ridiculous.
"Queen, do you really have to talk about this here?!"
Emperor Qiwen finally spoke, his tone hinting at impatience.
Even if he felt special to her, he was the emperor. How could his majesty tolerate a woman's repeated provocations?
If she still doesn't know the seriousness of the matter and doesn't repent, then he will be ruthless!
"Queen?"
She ignored his ugly expression, walked to the center of the courtyard, glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, smiled coldly, then looked up at the sky and said lightly: "How can I be a queen?"
"I'm nothing more than a puppet without human rights or respect, at the mercy of others! When needed, they'll talk to me nicely, but when not, they'll pull my tendons and bones out without even notifying me."
The queen's words made the people below sweat even more.
"What is the Queen talking about? What does it mean?"
Someone nearby whispered back, "I don't know! I don't understand, but there must be something we don't know!"
There were many people of noble status present, but at this moment, no one dared to ask the queen a question, because they could all guess that what the queen said was directed at the emperor!
Anyone who is so foolish as to ask questions would be going against the emperor, wouldn't that be?
Although this was the tacit understanding of everyone, there was one person who was not among them.
That was the ninth prince, Baili Moyan, who had just lost his mother.
"Queen! If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I will avenge my mother even if I die!"
There was also Guan He beside him. Guan He's face was also pale, and his eyes were filled with madness and hatred at some point.
"Revenge?" The Queen looked at him. "Old Nine, you used to be quite smart, right? Why are you so stupid now?"
"you……!!"
"I said so much, but you didn't listen to a single word I said!"
The Queen ignored his anger, a hint of sarcasm on her face. "Instead of being furious at me for my incompetence, why don't you ask your father what he did?"
"He has the final say on why I killed your mother!"
Since she realized that she was no longer the queen, she changed her self-proclaimed name from "this palace" to "I".
It seemed like she was telling everyone that she was no longer the queen!
Baili Moyan's angry expression paused for a moment, then he looked at Emperor Qiwen and asked in confusion, "Father, what did she mean by that?"
Emperor Qiwen had a gloomy face and didn't even glance at Baili Moyan, as if he couldn't hear what he said.
"Father Emperor!!"
However, no matter how he shouted, the emperor ignored him.
The Queen looked at the two of them and sneered again, "Why, Baili Fengjue, you don't dare to tell me?"
"Are you afraid that your reputation will be ruined?"
Emperor Qiwen clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, as if he wanted to crush the neck of the person in front of him!
"Su Wei, do you really want to choose to be ruined?"
Su Wei.
The queen was a little dazed when she heard the name.
Yes, her name is Su Wei, not “Queen”, but over the past few decades, this name has long disappeared, and now only “Queen” exists in this world.
"Disgraced? What disgrace? What reputation?"
She looked at him, all the emotions on her face transforming into overwhelming hatred: "If I can't clear Xun'er's name and make the truth about his murder known to the world, then what good is this reputation of mine?"
"Baili Fengjue, today, you will tell everyone in the world how your eldest son, Baili Moxuan, died!
