Children of Loulan

Chapter 483 No one is allowed to enter

"But today I just can't stand it anymore! I can't watch the king being poisoned like this, so I took a huge risk and stood up to expose the truth of the king's poisoning. I know that doing so may bring me death, but I can't care so much.

I only hope that the adults can take care of my son in the future because of my sincere heart. He is still so young and doesn't know anything. I am really worried! I only hope that the adults can do their best to save his life and let him live the rest of his life in peace, and I will be satisfied. "

Xilin spoke with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling, as if she had really suffered great injustice for Loulan.

At this time, Doctor Zhengyi walked out slowly and said respectfully, "Since the Crown Prince cannot give a reasonable explanation for this matter, and the imperial physician is so sure, why don't we go to the Queen's palace to check if the King is safe. If the imperial physician is talking nonsense and slandering the Crown Prince, then I suggest that he be beaten to death immediately to set things right."

Doctor Zhengyi's words made Keremu feel nervous. When he heard that they were going to the queen's palace, he immediately wanted to speak out to stop them. However, before he could say anything, other court officials had already echoed him.

"Well, Doctor Zhengyi is right. However, the queen is the master of the harem after all. It may be inappropriate for us ministers to barge in so rashly." One of the court officials frowned and said with difficulty.

The other person looked at Xilin and said respectfully: "I'm afraid we have to ask the Concubine He to come forward and take us and other old ministers with us for this matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Xilin. Xilin first showed an embarrassed expression, but then she said in an unusually firm tone: "Since you all trust me so much, I will boldly lead you to the Queen's palace. Even if there are some risks, I will not hesitate!"

Doctor Zhengyi smiled, gracefully waved his right hand forward, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your righteous words. Your Majesty, please come in!" His voice was gentle and respectful, making people feel very comfortable.

Seeing Doctor Zhengyi's enthusiastic invitation, Xilin's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a faint smile. She turned lightly, glanced at Keremu, and a trace of disdain and ridicule flashed in her eyes. Then, she walked in front of everyone with an elegant step, leading everyone to the queen's palace, leaving behind the stunned Keremu!

Finally, they arrived at the gate of the queen's palace. The guards at the gate were shocked to see so many people and quickly informed the queen. After a while, the queen hurried over. When she saw all the civil and military officials standing at the gate of the palace, she showed a look of surprise on her face.

The queen's eyes fell on Xilin, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She frowned and questioned Xilin: "He Fei, what do you mean? Why did you bring all the ministers to this palace?"

Facing the queen's questioning, Xilin acted extremely innocent. She opened her red lips and explained softly, "Your Majesty, this is not what I want! Someone reported that the Crown Prince poisoned the King and intended to seize the throne, so I had to bring the adults here to verify it."

Upon hearing this, the queen's face turned blue with anger. She shouted angrily, "This is ridiculous! My son is already the legitimate crown prince. After the king dies, the throne will naturally be his. Why would he go to such great lengths to murder his own father and add another crime to himself for no reason? This is clearly someone deliberately framing me!"

Seeing this, Xilin quickly pretended to be heartbroken and continued, "I also think this is quite strange. I find it hard to believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do such a treasonous thing. However, the imperial physician was very sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the murderer. In addition, the king has not shown up for many days. The officials in the court are worried about this and have come to me for help. I am concerned about the safety of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the health of the king, so I have no choice but to bring them here."

At this time, a minister in court robes slowly walked out from the crowd. His face was solemn and his eyes were firm, as if he had already made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said, "My queen, since all the old ministers are here, can you please ask the king to come out and meet us? This will also put everyone at ease."

When the queen heard this, she was furious. Her eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit fire. She shouted angrily, "How dare you! You are all important officials of Loulan, and have served for many years. Don't you know even the most basic etiquette? How dare you be so presumptuous today? Are you committing this heinous crime?"

However, facing the queen's rebuke, the doctor Zhengyi seemed unusually calm. He said slowly, "Queen, please calm down. We have no such intention. It's just that the king has not been seen for a long time, and we are really worried. As the saying goes, the law cannot punish everyone. We are just concerned about the king. If the king is safe and sound, I am willing to give up my official position to atone for the offense today. But if the king really encounters an accident, even if it costs me my life, I will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for an explanation!"

After saying this, he knelt on his knees without hesitation, and then shouted loudly: "Please, Queen, please allow the king to come out to meet the old ministers!" His voice echoed in the palace, with a hint of determination and indomitable spirit.

However, after him, all the courtiers, as if pushed by an invisible force, knelt on the ground one after another, and shouted in unison: "We seek to see the king!"

This sudden scene shocked the queen. She stared with wide eyes, looking at these ministers who were usually respectful to her in disbelief, and now they were so united in openly defying her will.

"You, you..." The queen was so angry that she was shaking all over, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't say a word. She clenched her back teeth tightly, and the anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.

However, after a brief moment of anger, the queen quickly calmed down. She knew very well the status and influence of these old ministers in the Loulan court, but she could not show weakness or retreat at this moment. After all, the king's poisoning was also framed by someone, but it was obvious that these old ministers would not easily believe it. Only by suppressing them first could she slowly find out the truth. So, she took a deep breath and quickly made a decision - to fight these old ministers to the end!

The queen straightened up. Although her voice was trembling, it was full of majesty: "Come here, close the palace gate, and no one is allowed to enter!"

Following her order, the heavy palace gate slowly closed with a dull sound. This sound echoed in the silent palace, as if it was a silent announcement.

The queen stood in front of the palace gate, her figure seemed somewhat lonely and resolute. Her eyes were like torches, staring intently at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, without flinching.
