Chapter 1067: One Wrong Step

Compared with the gloom of Fengyi Palace, Jiu Rao is exceptionally leisurely.

She didn't need to think about the witch queen's choice at all, and when she came back from a trip to the priest's temple, she didn't have to worry about it.

Since it has been determined that Ji Huangyu is not in danger, then whether the witch queen accepts the threat or not, the result is nothing more than the difference between whether the charges around Ji Huangyu can be washed away.

As for burning at the stake, didn't Ji Huangyu say it?

The man in this world who dared to burn him at the stake had not yet been born, so what did she have to worry about?

And she is almost 100% sure that the witch queen will definitely compromise.

In order to kill a Ji Huangyu, she gave up her own child, can she accept such a thing?

But the compromise of the witch queen is also based on the anger and embarrassment of all kinds of struggles.

Seeing the conditions on the letter, the witch queen struggled all afternoon, and she definitely didn't want to watch the child who had been waiting for her so hard to go missing.

But if you want the child in her belly to be safe and sound, you must wash away Ji Huangyu's charges and pardon Ji Huangyu's burning at the stake.

Let the emperor personally issue an order and return Ji Huangyu to an innocent name.

It sounds like a simple life-for-life condition, but it's not that simple. If this is really done, the person who framed Ji Huangyu for fornicating with the palace maid in the first place will have to bear the charge of framing the prince.

And the person who saw Ji Huangyu and the palace maid appearing on the bed in disheveled clothes was the commander of the Royal Forest Army and the cousin of the witch queen.

The crime of framing the prince is not light, and the crime of framing the next high priest is even more serious, which can be regarded as blasphemy against the gods, so Wu Peng can only apologize with death - even if it does not involve the Wu family, the impact of this incident on the Wu family is unimaginable.

The witch queen sat on the edge of the bed and thought about it all afternoon, her brows furrowed and her eyebrows full of gloomy color.

She wanted to discuss such a big matter with her brother, but she had just returned from the Wu family, and if she hurriedly summoned her brother at this time, what speculation would arise outside?

The palace is the palace of the Ji family, not the Wu family, she can't treat the king as nothing, let alone blatantly treat the palace rules as nothing.

At this time, the witch queen fully realized the fact that one wrong step, one wrong step.

Even if the Wu family's power is strong now, it still can't stop the danger hidden in the shadows, but at this time, she reacted to this, but it was too late.

Now the only thing she needs to consider is to save the child, abandon Wu Peng, let Ji Huangyu go, or abandon the child and let the original plan go smoothly?

This embarrassment did not give her much time, and that night the witch queen found that she was red—the fear of losing her child made her unable to think more, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite the king.

The witch queen didn't even dare to tell the king about her being threatened, she wanted a child, so she couldn't anger the person behind the poison, in case the other party didn't give her the antidote in anger, the king couldn't pay back her child's life.

The Wu family did not expect that in just one night, something happened in the palace that caught them off guard, and the fate of the Wu family would also change dramatically.

The king was furious: "Framing the prince? Framing the next High Priest chosen by the gods! Wu Peng, you are so bold! ”

Poor Wu Peng didn't know what was going on at all, and he couldn't say a word in the face of the king's wrath and the eyes of the witch queen.
