Emperor Ming Yuan raised his eyes slightly and said in a gentle voice, "In the Queen's opinion, how should we deal with Princess Chu?"

Empress Chu heard that the emperor was not displeased and said: "I think that the emperor's dragon body is related to the fate of the country in the Northern Tang Dynasty. Princess Chu is smart and thinks that she has excellent medical skills. She secretly uses folk remedies to treat the emperor. She ignores the safety of the emperor and is treason.

Fortunately, there were no serious consequences, so I thought that I should be expelled from the palace and demoted to a side chamber, and not allowed to enter the palace without permission."

Emperor Ming Yuan smiled. "The Queen's words are reasonable. Mistakes will not be punished, and merits will not be rewarded. It is indeed not the emperor's fault. Then we should do as the Queen said."

Queen Chu knew that the emperor would agree, and the punishment was not serious. Being demoted to a concubine was just in name. After all, Princess Chu had entered the jade certificate, and she could still bring it back in the future.

Naturally, she doesn't want to have any conflict with the King of Chu. The most important thing is that she, Yuan Qingling, can no longer enter the palace and can no longer get along with the Supreme Emperor, so that's fine.

Chu Mingcui also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the meal did not change the emperor's view of Yuan Qingling.

However, Emperor Ming Yuan changed the subject and said: "If you make mistakes, you must be punished, but if you have merit, you must be rewarded. Yuan Qing Ling has merit in saving the Supreme Emperor, which is a great merit. The merits and demerits more than offset the merits. I will first convict her and then reward her, so she will still be Chu."

Princess, how about I reward you with two strings of southern pearls?"

Chu Mingcui couldn't believe her ears. The merits and demerits were more than balanced and she still wanted a reward? The emperor had no intention of dealing with her at all.

"Two strands of southern pearls?" Queen Chu's eyes protruded, and her face suddenly darkened, "Your Majesty, there are only three strands of southern pearls sent as tribute from Ryukyu."

Ryukyu's southern pearls are large and round, and are rare treasures. In previous years, Ryukyu only paid tribute to one bunch of southern pearls. The emperor mostly gave them to the Queen Mother. This year, there were three rare bunches. She thought she could get one. Now, as a reward

I gave two strings to Yuan Qingling, and I had to give the rest to the Queen Mother, but she still didn't have it.

"Yes, there are actually three strings this year. Ryukyu's aquatic products are very rich this year." Emperor Ming Yuan said with a smile.

Empress Chu said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, how can Princess Chu be considered to have contributed to saving the Supreme Emperor? Could it be that the Supreme Emperor's illness was cured by her folk medicine?"

"The Queen doesn't know?" Emperor Ming Yuan was slightly surprised, "The Queen has a sharp ear and eyes, and there are many capable and capable people around her, but she doesn't know that it is the result of Princess Chu?"

Empress Chu looked at Emperor Ming Yuan's slightly ironic but still gentle face, and suddenly realized that he was angry in his heart, fearing that he had already seen through her and Cui'er's thoughts.

"Your Majesty is joking." Queen Chu's edge slowly weakened.

"Of course I am joking. Otherwise, the Queen would have been held accountable for her lax mouth." Emperor Ming Yuan's smile faded and he stood up. "Since the Queen is not in good health, she should have a good rest. I am leaving."

"Best farewell to your Majesty!" Chu Mingcui hurriedly blessed herself.

Emperor Ming Yuan glanced at her and said, "I heard that Lao Qi is fond of writing poems recently. Princess Qi is proficient in poetry. If she has free time, the couple can write poems and read books. It is also fun. They don't have to go to the palace all the time."

Chu Mingcui's face turned pale and she said uneasily: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will obey."

Emperor Ming Yuan strode out.

Chu Mingcui slowly walked to the bedside and sat down, pinching her fingers into her flesh, "I don't know what Yuan Qingling said to my father. My mother fainted. My father just came now. He didn't greet my mother when he came. What did he say?"

The words inside and outside are full of condemnation, and the Queen Mother is afraid that she will have to put pressure on the Concubine Xian."

After hearing Chu Mingcui's words, Queen Chu felt a suffocation in her chest. She was angry and sad for a moment, and said: "What's the use of telling Concubine Xian? Concubine Xian has the support of the Queen Mother, so she may not necessarily be afraid of me."

Concubine Xian is the niece of the Queen Mother. She has been in the palace for many years and has a son and a daughter. She is deeply favored by the emperor. Although she fell out of favor for a few months because of King Chu's affairs, didn't the emperor keep trying to get into her palace after that?

Chu Mingcui's mind was spinning, trying to sort out a clear idea to deal with Yuan Qingling, but now that Yuan Qingling was in the emperor's eyes, and the emperor was watching, she could do nothing.

Too many things have happened in Prince Chu's Mansion recently. If we take action again, it will be beneficial to Prince Chu's Mansion.

Besides, when Yuan Qingling and the emperor returned to the side hall after dinner, Yu Wenhao was already a little impatient.

He was not afraid that his father would spy on him, but he was afraid that Yuan Qingling would say the wrong thing recklessly and make his father angry.

That ugly girl can't stand the second wave of deceiving the emperor.

Seeing Yuan Qing Ling come back in confusion, he subconsciously propped himself up. Yuan Qing Ling saw it with sharp eyes and quickly walked over and pressed it down with one hand, "You can't move around."

"Take your dirty paws away." Yu Wenhao realized that he was a little concerned about her, and felt very uncomfortable, so he said to Yuan Qing fiercely.

Yuan Qingling felt that this man simply had a mental illness, and he acted like a donkey when he cared about him. "Why don't you know what is good and what is good? I care about you."

"Who wants you to care?" Yu Wenhao said coldly.
