Chapter 325 The Queen is so charming 54

Shangguan Zhuxi remained silent. Hua Fangfei, intent on exploiting her, continued, "My people have learned the true cause of the late queen's death from the maids who once worked in her palace."

Shangguan Zhuxi was shocked and couldn't help but recall the scene of that year.

At that time, he was still young and ignorant, and did not have many deep memories of the death of the late queen.

All I know is that my father personally announced to the outside world that the late queen had suffered a heart attack. Although the Imperial Hospital tried its best to diagnose and treat her, she was ultimately unable to be saved and passed away.

However, after hearing what Hua Fangfei said, he couldn't help but feel puzzled: "If it is true as you said, then Father has deceived all of us?"

Shangguan Zhuxi finally broke his silence and spoke. Because he was still young when the late queen passed away, he didn't know many things.

But the only thing he clearly remembered was that his mother had taken the medicine carefully prepared for her by the imperial physician before her death.

Thinking of this, his eyes became more serious.

Seeing this, Hua Fangfei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a sneer of contempt.

She continued, "The late queen, like me, came from a military family. Rumor has it that she was once a valiant and skilled figure, and she diligently exercised, so her physique must have been exceptionally strong. Yet, such a healthy woman suddenly developed heart palpitations after entering the palace. Have you never harbored the slightest suspicion?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Zhuxi frowned tightly, forming a deep wrinkle.

As he grew older, he actually began to have doubts about the cause of his mother's death, and for this reason he summoned the senior palace maid who had been by his mother's side when she was alive to inquire about the situation.

However, the response received was always consistent and no different from what was announced that year.

The senior palace maid beside my mother entered the palace with her. They have been friends since childhood and should not lie.

To be on the safe side, he decided to question all the eunuchs and palace maids in his mother's palace one by one.

After all, this matter is of great importance and cannot tolerate any carelessness or negligence.

Surprisingly, no matter who he asked, the answers he got were exactly the same, without any difference.

Faced with such uniform replies, he still had a trace of doubt in his heart at first, but as time went by and with continuous verification and confirmation, this doubt gradually disappeared.

He told Hua Fangfei all this, but Hua Fangfei just sneered coldly and said mercilessly, "Humph, no matter how loyal a person is, they can't avoid having some weaknesses. And these weaknesses are either worldly desires or let others hold them as a fatal advantage."

Hua Fangfei continued, "I was investigating another matter when I overheard whispers that the cause of the late queen's death seemed to hold a hidden mystery, more complex than it appeared. So, with a sense of urgency, I sent people to conduct a thorough investigation. Unexpectedly, we uncovered something: one of the palace maids was able to reveal a few words, completely different from what the others had said. Upon further investigation, we discovered that this maid was willing to share the truth because she was growing older and had received many favors from the late queen. Perhaps it was this kindness, always etched in her heart, that weighed on her conscience, prompting her to risk revealing a few details. Unfortunately, when we pressed for further details, the maid suddenly became silent, refusing to speak despite threats or inducements. Her expression and behavior revealed a profound fear."

"If the eldest prince were to meet that maid in person, I'm afraid your resemblance to the late queen would arouse her feelings."

"Mother is right. I should go meet her. If I can really get more clues from her, then my father will really..."

Many emotions flashed across Shangguan Zhuxi's eyes, and they were extremely dark.

Hua Fangfei hugged him and patted his back comfortingly, "Don't worry, no matter what the truth is, I will face it with you."
