The jade pendant broke into four petals, and Emperor Cheng De's face suddenly darkened, and his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that I have been wronged." Lu Xiang said while half-kneeling and bowing his head.

Her voice was calm.

Hu Qian looked at Lu Xiang in surprise and thought, Miss, your accusation of injustice sounds a bit perfunctory.

Where is the sadness and indignation, or the unwillingness?

Why don't you have any emotions?

…

Jingren Palace.

A young eunuch suddenly ran in hurriedly, not daring to break into the palace. He pulled a maid from Jingren Palace and said: "Quick, go and report to the empress. Miss Lu San is in trouble. The ninth princess said that she crushed the emperor."

The emperor just happened to pass by the Panlong Jade Pendant as a reward."

When the palace maid heard this, she quickly went to find the queen.

I didn't even bother to ask the little eunuch for details.

The young eunuch was not from Jingren Palace, but he also heard that Miss Lu San was deeply loved by the empress, so he just took this opportunity to sell her out.

The matter concerned Lu Xiang, and the palace maid was not afraid that the queen would blame her for trespassing.

Sure enough, after Empress Song heard her report, she immediately got up and left murderously.

She knew that Lu Xiang went to Yanxi Palace to meet the concubine before leaving the palace, so she took people directly to the direction of Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Zhen got the news later than Empress Song, but she was closer, so they both arrived almost at the same time.

At this time, Emperor Chengde was issuing an order to punish Lu Xiang for being disrespectful.

When Concubine Zhen heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, please be kind to me. Lu Xiang is a girl who really can't stand thirty bucks. I hope your Majesty will give her a lighter sentence." Concubine Zhen knelt beside Lu Xiang and begged Emperor Chengde for mercy.

Empress Song protected Lu Xiang behind her with a cold expression, and first glared at Chu Pan'er with a sharp gaze, and then looked up at Emperor Cheng De who was sitting high on the pedestal.

"Who dares to touch her?"

As she said that, she frowned. The emperor was taller than her, and his aura was a bit shorter.

She was so angry.

When Emperor Chengde saw that the queen came to contradict him again, he immediately darkened his face and said, "Queen, please pay attention to your identity. You are protecting the daughter of a foreign minister for personal gain. How will you convince the public in the future?"

"So what? Your Majesty, aren't you also showing favoritism to protect Chu Pan'er? What's the difference between your behavior and that of my concubine?"

Emperor Chengde was so angry that he choked: "Song Nanyue, do you still have any rules?"

Empress Song straightened her back with a cold look on her face and refused to give in: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have the final say in everything. I am powerless to refute, but as long as I am here, no one can touch a hair of Lu Xiang.

."

What does it mean that he is the Nine-Five Master and that he has the final say on everything?

Song Nanyue is clearly saying that he does not distinguish between right and wrong.

"Mother, if I make a mistake, you will punish me. Now that Lu Xiang has broken the gift given by the emperor and committed such a great crime of disrespect, you will protect me in every possible way, but I refuse to accept it." Chu Pan'er's eyes were red and she bit her lips.

He said as if he had been greatly wronged but pretending to be stubborn.

Empress Song glanced at her coldly, her red lips parted slightly: "Get out! You are worthy of competing with Lu Xiang."

In a word, it is very lethal.

Chu Pan'er was pretending to be aggrieved at first, but now she was really aggrieved. There was uncontrollable hatred in her eyes.

The queen actually humiliated her like this.

As a royal princess, how could Lu Xiang deserve to be compared with her?

The atmosphere became tense.

Emperor Chengde's face was frighteningly gloomy, and the queen's behavior was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

Lu Xiang gently pulled the phoenix robe of Queen Song and said warmly: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Chu Pan'er recognized this point, this fatal knot.

The broken thing was a gift from the emperor. As long as it could not prove that Lu Xiang was innocent, then she would be guilty of this crime.

Chu Pan'er also guessed that the queen would stand up to protect Lu Xiang.

But the majesty of the father cannot be provoked. As long as the queen protects Lu Xiang, the emperor will definitely be more angry than when he learns that the gift given by the emperor has been destroyed. His original intention to punish Lu Xiang is 70%, so after the queen protects him, he will definitely change.

If it's 100%, you might be punished even more severely in anger.

Lu Xiang could not ask Empress Song to argue with the emperor over him, and the emperor in the end might not spare him because of the empress's anger. If it backfired and she was hated by the emperor, it would be the end.

It was only thirty boards, and the executioners would not cripple her for the sake of the empress.

There was a special method of execution in the palace. Some were tortured, with their skin and flesh bruised, but nothing happened inside, while others had no scars on the surface, but died.

It all depends on the executioner's method.

Lu Xiang thought that she would not be bruised, let alone die.

After all, the emperor wanted to regain his face and did not order himself to be killed.

Empress Song gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Xiang, wishing she could kick Emperor Chengde off his feet in one act of rebellion.

She is a majestic queen, but she can't even protect the people she wants to protect.

"Your Majesty, don't regret it."

What you hit is your precious son's heart.

Emperor Chengde snorted and didn't take it seriously: "I never regret anything I do."

As he spoke, he winked at Hu Qian.

Hu Qian secretly complained and called the young eunuch who was executed in front of the Queen Song's cannibalism.

Queen, my slave is just following orders, don't just hold grudges against me.

Emperor Chengde had no intention of leaving, so the eunuch who was executing the execution did not pull Lu Xiang down to beat him. Instead, he brought a bench over and said to Lu Xiang politely: "Girl, please."

Those who didn’t know, thought they were asking for help.

Then the little eunuch who asked Lu Xiang to execute felt the death gaze from Empress Song. His calf shook so hard that the stick in his hand almost flew out.

"Empress, I'm fine." Lu Xiang smiled at Empress Song and reassured her.

Today she has endured thirty years of trouble, and she will definitely tell Chu Paner why the sky is so blue and why the flowers are so red in the future.

Lu Xiang lay down on the stool with a calm expression, showing no fear or grievance.

Emperor Cheng De's deep eyes couldn't help but reveal a bit of surprise. He glanced at Lu Xiang several times, and a hint of appreciation emerged in his heart.

This was the first time he saw a young girl being so calm.

Interesting.

With this magnanimity, no wonder the Queen likes him so much.

The little eunuch raised the board and was about to drop it.

Suddenly a cry of surprise sounded.

"Wait a moment."

Chu Ying'er held her skirt tightly, strode towards the execution of the little eunuch, and pushed him away: "Father..."

"Ying'er, what are you doing?" Chu Pan'er stared at Chu Ying'er with warning in her eyes.

Chu Ying'er heard Chu Pan'er's scolding and turned to look at her.

The eyes no longer showed the joy and dependence on her sister, but were mixed with a little strangeness.

"Father, she did not step on the jade pendant to pieces, and it has nothing to do with Lu Xiang."

She knew that Sister Nine Emperors hated Lu Xiang, so she naturally didn't like this girl either. She was obviously just the daughter of a minister, how could she dare to go against the princess.
