Chapter 150 The Queen's Fall
Jiang Lingyin, Ye Wenjing, Emperor Li Zhuo, Li Zhen and others all came to the Pepper Room.
Li Zhen couldn't believe that his mother, who had always been known for her virtue, respect, and humility, was actually the notorious leader of the Fuhua Society.
Moreover, he even won over officials in Jiangnan, opened mines privately, and forged weapons.
His eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice: "Mother, how is this possible? This must be a misunderstanding!"
Zongzheng Fuyue's face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm: "Zhen'er, don't listen to other people's nonsense."
Emperor Li Zhuo shouted angrily: "At this point, you still want to quibble! The evidence is irrefutable, and the crime you committed is unforgivable!"
Jiang Lingyin took a step forward and said, "Empress, your actions have been exposed. You should confess your crime and accept the punishment."
Ye Wenjing also said: "Your conspiracy will not succeed. Now that the truth is out, you can't escape."
Zong Zheng Fu Yue looked at everyone, her eyes filled with despair and unwillingness: "Everything I do is for the future of us mother and son!"
Li Zhen cried out in pain: "Mother, how could you do such a thing? How can I live with myself?"
Emperor Li Zhuo snorted coldly: "For your own selfish desires, you are willing to endanger the country and hurt the people. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"
At this time, the atmosphere in the Pepper Room was solemn.
Zong Zheng Fu Yue knew that he had no way out, but he was still unwilling to fail.
Zongzheng Fuyue laughed like crazy, looked at Li Zhen and said, "Mother, this is all for you, everything is for you, so that you can become the crown prince, so that you can inherit the throne in the future!"
She pointed at Emperor Li Zhuo and said madly and painfully: "Li Zhuo, I have been sincere to you all these years, but in your heart, you only think about He Ruoyunsheng!
She is already someone else's wife and has given birth to someone else's child, but you still won't give up!
Three years ago, you actually told me that bloodline is not important, as long as it is beneficial to the world, then you can inherit the throne.
You even thought of letting Ye Wenjing inherit the throne! I won't accept that! Why? "
Emperor Li Zhuo glared at him and shouted, "You are totally unreasonable! I have always been devoted to the people of the world and the stability of my country, and I have never been partial to anyone.
But you, blinded by the desire for power, did such a cruel thing! "
Li Zhen's face was covered with tears, and he cried out: "Mother, how did you become like this? Your love is too heavy and too selfish. This is not what I want!"
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing watched this scene quietly from the side, feeling mixed emotions.
Zong Zheng Fu Yue continued to laugh wildly: "Hahahaha, what's the point of saying this now? I have come this far, there is no turning back!"
Emperor Li Zhuo said angrily: "You have committed such a serious crime that is beyond the law of the country. I will punish you severely!"
At this time in the Pepper Room, the laughter of Zong Zheng Fu Yue, the angry roar of the Emperor, and the crying of Li Zhen were intertwined together, filling the room with despair and sadness.
Jiang Lingyin looked at Zongzheng Fuyue and asked, "So, it was you who poisoned Ye Wenjing, and it was you who got the Wuyeti poison from my mother Su Wanyin.
But everyone thought my mother was dead, so how did you hide her in Jiangnan Floating Flower Club?"
Zongzheng Fuyue sat on the couch and said, "That's right, three years ago, when His Majesty told me that he wanted to pass the throne to Ye Wenjing, I had the intention to kill him.
I was the one who sent someone to give him the Wuyeti. As for your mother, she and I are an old acquaintance, and I know very well that her medical skills are unmatched in the world.
But Princess Anyang fell in love with your father Jiang Yuanchan and came to me to form an alliance.
She said that as long as I promised to help her get Jiang Yuanchan, she would use all her connections and money to help His Majesty, so I agreed.
You were young back then and don’t remember anything.
Su Wanyin was pregnant with her second child, and she was not on guard against me.
So I invited her to come to my palace and have her sit in this position.
I gave her some hibiscus cake, which was poisoned but she didn't notice.
By the time she returned home and realized she was unwell, it was too late.
Su Wanyin gave birth prematurely, so I had someone give her a drug to fake her death. Jiang Yuanchan thought she died in childbirth and buried her.
Later, I had someone use hypnosis to cover her memory and sent her to the heart of Jinlu Mountain to use her for my own purposes."
After Jiang Lingyin heard this, her eyes turned red and she shouted angrily: "You vicious woman, how could you be so cruel! My mother has no grudge against you, why do you want to harm her like this!"
Ye Wenjing also clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "Your crimes are simply outrageous!"
Emperor Li Zhuo was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Zongzheng Fuyue, you have done such a shameless thing, I will never forgive you!"
Li Zhen looked confused and in pain: "Mother, how can you be so cruel?"
Zongzheng Fuyue showed no regrets and sneered, "Now that things have come to this, you can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"
At this time, the atmosphere in the Pepper Room was extremely tense, and everyone's hatred for Zong Zheng Fu Yue reached its peak.
Jiang Lingyin rushed forward and wanted to slap Zong Zheng Fuyue, but was stopped by Ye Wenjing.
Ye Wenjing said: "Don't be impulsive, she will receive the punishment she deserves."
Jiang Lingyin burst into tears, her voice choked with sobs: "She hurt my mother to this extent, how can I not hate her!"
Emperor Li Zhuo took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Put Zongzheng Fuyue in jail. I will deal with him after I find out all the truth."
The guards immediately stepped forward and took Zong Zheng Fu Yue away.
Before she left, she glared at everyone fiercely.
Li Zhen collapsed on the ground, as if he had lost his soul.
He could never have imagined that the mother he had always respected was such a cruel and ruthless person.
Jiang Yuanchan also hurried over at this time. After learning the truth, he was heartbroken.
She blamed herself, "It's my fault that I failed to protect Wan Yin and the children."
Ye Wenjing watched this scene and secretly swore in his heart that he would make Zong Zheng Fu Yue pay a heavy price for her actions.
In the following days, the entire court was investigating the crimes of Zong Zheng Fu Yue, implicating many of his accomplices.
After Tu Lian was rescued by Jiang Lingyin and others, he finally figured it out.
She handed something to Jiang Lingyin: "Jiang Lingyin, this thing is the real secret of the Fuhua Society."
She handed a jade seal to Jiang Lingyin: "This is the proof of the communication between Fuhua Society and Dayuan. In fact, there are many Dayuan people like Zhao Guangwen in Fuhua Society."
Jiang Lingyin took the seal with a serious look on her face: "I didn't expect that the Fuhua Society would collude with the Dayuan Kingdom in this way."
Ye Wenjing said at the side: "This matter is of great importance and must be reported to His Majesty as soon as possible."
Jiang Lingyin nodded: "Yes, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind this."
They did not dare to delay and immediately took the seal to the palace to meet the emperor.
When Emperor Li Zhuo saw the seal, he was furious: "The Fuhua Society actually committed such a treasonous act, we must investigate it thoroughly!"
Jiang Lingyin and Ye Wenjing received orders and began to conduct an in-depth investigation into the relationship between the Fuhua Society and the Dayuan Kingdom.
