"Yes, please report to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother. More than ten years ago, I was demoted to the Xinzhe Treasury as a slave because of my mistakes. Although it was only a few months ago, I suffered a lot. At that time, Ling'er was a young girl who had just entered the palace.

A palace maid, twelve or thirteen years old, with a simple mind. One day, her slave was hungry.

She couldn't bear it anymore, but before the work was finished, she secretly left her steamed buns to the slave. For the slave, who was almost desperate, it was like giving someone timely help. The slave wanted to repay her, but later the slave replied

When I came to the empress, I also begged her for mercy, but Ling Ling

She did not want to leave Xinzheku, and the slave did not force her. After that, the slave and she had almost no interaction. The slave was the maid in charge of the queen, and she was the little maid of Xinzheku. They were very different.

The slave gradually forgot about her until

Five years ago, when I accompanied my queen to the imperial garden, I saw a palace maid watering flowers accidentally falling and crushing the flowers. When I was punished by the consul's palace lady with thirty boards, I recognized that the one who was about to be punished was Ling'er, so she

I beg the Queen to have mercy on her and let her out of Xinzheku.【

-]" Mu Yun could not have imagined that at the beginning, she just couldn't see the person who had helped her being punished, so she asked the queen for grace, but now she was causing great trouble to the queen.

The queen had long forgotten about this matter, but Mu Yun remembered it clearly. At this time, hearing what Mu Yun said, the queen suddenly realized: "It does happen, but it has been too long, and I have already forgotten it. Please ask the emperor, your Majesty."

Mingcha."

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, at first I just couldn't bear to see Ling'er suffer, so I begged your Majesty for mercy. Over the years, I have never had anything to do with Ling'er, and the Queen Mother has long forgotten about it. What Ling'er said is all slander.

It belongs to the Queen." Mu Yun reported anxiously.

"Emperor, according to the Ai family, this matter still needs to be verified. The Ai family would like to ask Concubine Yu and Concubine Xin what happened to the wooden box containing the little clay figurine found in the side hall? You two have been arguing for the past two days.

It’s time to make it clear today.” The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yu and Concubine Xin and said.

"Reporting to the Imperial Grandmother, my grandson has made inquiries clearly. Empress Xin did leave for half a quarter of an hour when she visited the Eighth Princess that day. Even if she ran from the Eighth Princess's bedroom to the side hall, it would take a quarter of an hour, and she was not in the same place.

Direction." The fifth elder brother said respectfully.

"In this case, it was not Xin Bin who did it, but someone in Concubine Yu's palace saw Xin Bin appearing in the side hall. Why is that?" the Queen Mother said with a slight frown.

"I would like to report to the Queen Mother, it was getting late at that time, and the little palace maid was suffering from an eye disease. I think she made a mistake. The palace had wronged my sister Xin two days ago. I hope my sister can forgive her." Concubine Yu stood up and looked at her.

Xin Bin said.

"Sister is hurting my sister." Xin Bin hurriedly returned the greeting.

"It's a misunderstanding. The most important thing now is to find the murderer who let the little clay figurine curse Brother Twelve." Wei Ning'er said solemnly.

"The palace maid Ling'er said that she was ordered by the queen to slander Concubine Yu. She did not see who put the wooden box. I think the palace maid has not told the truth. Both the queen and Concubine Yu have been wronged. This matter

We still need to investigate further, Yongqi, I will leave this matter to you." The emperor looked at the fifth elder brother and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes, I have accepted the order," the fifth elder brother said respectfully.

Seeing the emperor say this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. Only Concubine Shu was greatly unhappy. She glanced at the queen without any trace, and the unwillingness and hatred in her eyes flashed away.

"Finally we escaped." After leaving Cining Palace, Concubine Yu smiled at Wei Ning'er beside her.

"This matter is not over yet." Wei Ning'er shook her head slightly, and then said: "The Emperor and the Queen Mother will not just sit idly by. In order to avoid getting into trouble, the Queen may not dare to pursue it further. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable to her."

"In my sister's opinion, how can we suppress this matter completely?" Concubine Yu said solemnly.

"It all depends on Yong Qi. The emperor has given him full authority over this matter. Firstly, he trusts him, and secondly, he wants to temper him. Sister, you have to make a good plan with the fifth elder brother to suppress this matter.

, and you can’t let others see anything wrong.” Wei Ning’er smiled.

"Sister, sister is stupid and can't wake up. Please give me some instructions." Concubine Yu understood what Wei Ning'er meant, but until now, she still had some confusion in her mind, and she didn't have any good ideas at the moment.

When Wei Ning'er heard the words, she nodded slightly and whispered a few words into Concubine Yu's ear. Concubine Yu's initially worried face gradually filled with a smile.

After the queen returned to Yikun Palace, her suppressed anger finally broke out. She drove all the servants out of the palace, and it took about two quarters of an hour before she stumbled out of the palace.

Mu Yun and other slaves immediately knelt down, not daring to express their anger.

After the queen took a sip of tea, she looked at Mu Yun and said with a smile: "Mu Yun, the weather is nice today. Please accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Looking at the bright smile on her master's face, Mu Yun felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat. Her intuition told her that the Queen was very angry at this moment.

Zi Yan entered the dormitory and saw that the palace was in a state of disarray. Many valuable gold, silver and jade articles had been smashed to the ground, and the jade articles were almost broken. Many of them had been gifts from the emperor and the queen mother.

"Sister, what's wrong with our empress?" The little palace maid was stunned by the scene in front of her and couldn't help but ask. It seemed like she hadn't been like this for a long time. Could it be that the Holy One had become angry?

"Shut up, otherwise you will offend the empress and the consequences will be disastrous." Zi Yan shouted softly. After entering the palace, his life hung on the sword, and he had to think twice and be careful every step he took.

"Yes." All the little palace maids responded in unison. In fact, they didn't know that the queen was not easy to mess with.

When the queen arrived at the imperial garden, she chased away many of the servants except Mu Yun, and walked forward suddenly. She got tired after wearing high-soled shoes for a while, and slumped down on a stone bench, breathing heavily.

He seemed to feel a little more relaxed.

"Empress." Mu Yun saw the opportunity and handed over the brocade handkerchief, his eyes full of worry.

"Mu Yun, I have been in the palace for so long. Although everything in this palace has not gone as planned, I have been able to become the queen and have my own children. I have also been favored by the emperor. Over the years, although some things have happened

My son is not as expected, but I am still the queen, so it doesn’t matter if I am suppressed by the noble concubine, I am the real owner. But now... I am really a bit confused.

They are scared. I used to take action against them, and none of them are not afraid, but now, they actually use such despicable means to plot against me." The queen suddenly changed her face after saying this, she will never admit defeat, never

If she lets those women cover the sky with their hands, she is the queen, isn't she? She is the mistress of this harem, what do those women mean?

But why does she always feel so unsettled?

"My Majesty, at this point, the most important thing is for you to protect yourself. The current situation is not good for you, so you must endure it. For the sake of Brother Twelve, and for your own future, Madam, you must also endure it.

." Mu Yun couldn't help but hold the queen's hand and shouted in a low voice

"Yes, I have to endure it, I must endure it, but one day, I will definitely not let those women go." By now, the queen has determined that Wei Ning'er and others set this up on her.

of sets.

Cursing her child, causing the twelfth prince to escape a narrow escape and almost losing his life, and then blaming her for it, trying to destroy her. Such hatred is unforgettable.

"Mu Yun, I hate myself, I feel sorry for my children." The queen couldn't help but shed tears.

At this time, she had grievances that she could not redress, and she could not complain about her sufferings. She had to pray that her enemies would let her go and if they continued to pursue the case, she would definitely be the unlucky one in the end.

"My dear, don't be anxious, the days ahead will be long." Mu Yun advised softly.

"Yes, I cannot admit defeat. I am the real master of the harem." The queen's face was full of determination. No matter what the price, she must get rid of them.

In the evening, the emperor came to Yanxi Palace to have dinner as usual. The only difference was that he did not say a word to Wei Ning'er, but only entertained a few children as usual.

Wei Ning'er noticed something strange about the emperor, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart, but she didn't show it. It wasn't until the children finished dinner and followed their slaves back to their own bedrooms that Wei Ning'er looked at the emperor, who was silent in response.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Ning'er, don't go swimming in muddy waters with them in the future." The emperor looked at Wei Ning'er and said softly.

"Your Majesty, ever since I entered the palace as a slave, I have been doomed to have to deal with this muddy water all my life. I have long been unable to live alone." Wei Ning'er said with a bitter smile.

"Ning'er..."

"Your Majesty, I swear that this matter was not done by me. I did not harm my twelfth brother. The reason why I took care of this matter is just to reduce the harm this matter caused to everyone." Wei Ning'er was a little afraid of what the emperor said.

Li heard the question and interrupted the emperor first.

"I have never doubted you." The emperor was startled after hearing Wei Ning'er's words. He was actually afraid that Wei Ning'er would be implicated and get into trouble. He is the emperor and can protect her, but sometimes, even if he is the emperor, there are things he can't do.

Helpless, he will also find it difficult when it comes to the family law of his ancestors.

In the emperor's heart, Wei Ning'er has always been the woman who needed his protection. Over the years, this has never changed. Even though he knows that she is smart and can protect herself, he can't help but protect her, whether she needs it or not.

"The emperor asked me like that, but I didn't speak to me until the whole dinner tonight. I thought the emperor misunderstood me and was angry with me." Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"Jing Hui is thinking wildly. I am just angry that you got involved in this matter and dragged you down. Cursing the prince is a serious crime. I will definitely investigate and get to the bottom of this matter." The emperor said with a hint of anger in his words.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Fifth Brother will not disappoint Your Majesty. It won't take long before there will be results." Wei Ning'er said with a soft smile.

"Yongqi is the most outstanding among my current princes. If he can't even handle this matter, I..." The emperor said and shook his head slightly.
