Three volumes 90, bright red (2 updates)

The queen's breathing suddenly stopped and then she gasped.

Although the breath was reopened, the courage to tug the neck and defend the emperor silently dissipated.

The emperor closed his eyes gently, as if he was recalling the old things that happened back then, as if he didn't want to open his eyes and see the queen kneeling in front of him at this time.

"After the death of the imperial examination, I will be mourning for the emperor for twenty-seven months. During these twenty-seven months, although I am the new emperor, I will not repair the old palace during the mourning period. All color paintings in the palace have been suspended and will not be restored after the mourning period has expired. And that time was when you moved from Chuxiu Palace to Changchun Palace."

"At that time, I had just ascended the throne and the previous dynasty was busy, so I handed over the repair of the harem color paintings to the queen. If so, only the queen knew the most about the red paint and color paintings that Chuxiu had changed in the palace."

"Not only the renovation and paintings in Chuxiu Palace, but also the palace-laying supplies in her palace were all the responsible ones. Her teacups, teapots, medicine jars and charcoal stoves were all counted together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and sent them to her palace."

The queen's knees became weak and she couldn't hold on to her body, so she fell to the ground.

"What the emperor said? Why do I become less and less able to understand the more I listen?"

The emperor sneered: "Don't you understand? I will explain it to you: In the first year of Qianlong, I ordered Huixian, a woman from the Han family who was born in the coat of clothing, to be the imperial concubine. Not to mention that Gu Dai could not accept it, in fact, even the queen, you can't accept it, right?"

"After the imperial edict was completed, I summoned Lang Shining to paint our portraits. You and I naturally wear bright yellow, but I also asked Huixian to wear bright yellow... Later, the portraits showed that you and Huixian were incredibly inseparable from each other, and even your clothes were very similar. Queen, at that moment, you felt even more hatred for Huixian, right?"

"In December of the second year of Qianlong, I gave Huixian almost the same treatment as you. In addition to the orders of the wife to come to the palace to salute you, they also had to go to the palace of the imperial concubine to salute Huixian... At that moment, the hatred of Huixian in your heart was even greater, right?"

The queen gasped: "Emperor! How could I hate Huixian? I have been with Qiandi for those years, and I have long been in love with Huixian! I asked the emperor for the posthumous title of "Xian" and I am also dedicated to the Huixian sisters..."

The emperor chuckled softly, but shook his head.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have given Huixian so many preferential treatments. In theory, Huixian should be in a good mood. Even if the disease cannot be cured, it should have improved. But in fact, Huixian not only did not improve, but the disease has been going on for a day!"

"At first, I didn't think much about it, and it was because I never wanted to doubt you, Queen! Until... Huixian passed away, I was heartbroken and knew that I was sorry for Huixian, so I thought of checking it out in her palace."

"Queen... guess what did I find in the colorful paintings in her bedroom and the charcoal stove where she often decocted medicine?"

The queen gritted her teeth, sweating in her forehead, but she couldn't speak anymore.

The emperor sighed: "Cinsha, cinnabar!"

The queen closed her eyes tightly and tried to defend again: "...Cinsha? Emperor, where is the red color painting in this palace missing? Also, her medicine jar, charcoal stove, and which one did not add cinnabar originally? Besides... Huixian takes medicine all year round, and her medicine also contains cinnabar!"
