Chapter 59
Queen Chu looked at Aunt Bao in surprise, "What did you hear wrong? I asked you to return Nanzhu, how did you report?"
"Empress..." Aunt Bao's lips turned white and kept trembling. "I am smart and thought that the Princess Chu sent Nanzhu for the King of Chu, so I said something more, saying that the Princess Chu asked the Queen to speak beautifully for the King of Chu."
Queen Chu was furious, "You are actually guessing randomly? You are so brave!"
Empress Chu suddenly calmed down. Yubao followed her for many years and had always been calm. She could not say anything she guessed in front of the emperor.
She immediately thought of Chu Mingcui.
Before, Chu Mingcui suggested looking for Concubine Xian, but she thought there was no need to fight against Concubine Xian for the time being. Concubine Xian was the niece of the empress dowager. If Concubine Xian offended Concubine Xian, things would be difficult to do.
Emperor Mingyuan's face suddenly turned ugly. How could Yubao dare to do this? He was afraid that it was the queen's order, and his eyes flashed coldly across Queen Chu's face.
Queen Chu had to stand up and express her opinion, slapped Aunt Bao in the face, and said angrily: "Being arrogant, if you guess your own randomly, you dare to tell the emperor? How many heads do you have?"
Aunt Bao knelt on the ground, not daring to cover her face, but kept saying: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Mingyuan ordered expressionlessly: "Come here, drag Yubao down and take responsibility for the thirty pillars."
Queen Chu felt distressed, but couldn't speak for her. She just said angrily: "You're a bargain, why don't you thank me?"
Aunt Bao kowtowed, her body was already half weak, and her face looked like earth: "Thank you for the punishment of the emperor."
Aunt Bao was dragged out. After a while, there were crackling sounds of sticks and muffled sounds coming from outside.
Empress Chu looked calm, but her heart was extremely anxious, and she scolded Chu Mingcui for being reckless.
Concubine Xian was watching the fun now. She thought that this daughter-in-law would curry favor with the queen and humiliate her, but she didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in the middle that she had to see it carefully.
Emperor Mingyuan looked at Yuan Qingling with complex eyes.
This matter cannot be further questioned. Even if Yuan Qingling ordered Madam Xi to send Nanzhu, she could only give up.
I'm afraid I'll find out if I find it.
After all, Madam Xi is an old man from the Emperor. She can't make any mistakes, so as not to cause the Emperor to get angry and hurt her body.
After thinking for a while, he said lightly: "Since the matter is clear, what should be punished, you all go back."
The queen knew that the emperor had misunderstood her and thought that she had deliberately framed the King of Chu, but now it was useless to defend herself and she had to ask Chu Mingcui carefully, so she hurriedly stepped back.
Concubine Xian glanced at Yuan Qingling and left. She knew it in her heart, but the emperor was obviously unwilling to pick out the ugly that whitewashed the peace, and the royal family wanted face.
Madam Xi also wanted to retire with good fortune, but Yuan Qingling said, "Madam, I have a saying, I want to ask you."
Emperor Mingyuan warned: "Princess Chu, the matter ends here."
Yuan Qingling changed his calmness before and suddenly said, "Father, it's important to be asked clearly."
Madam Xi looked at Yuan Qingling and said lightly: "What do the princess want to say? I want to say that this Nanzhu was not what you ordered the old slave to send to Zhongshen Palace? Since the princess does not admit it, then it is the old slave who is arbitrary, and the old slave will be punished."
Yuan Qingling looked at her and said, "We know whether you are good at making decisions, but what I want to ask is why you changed to the Emperor's Nine-Turn Pill and then blame Xiao Luozi."
As soon as these words were spoken, Emperor Mingyuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Princess Chu, what are you talking about?"
Yuan Qingling looked directly at Emperor Yuan of Ming, "Father, no matter how brave the daughter-in-law is, she dare not make up randomly and accused the old man around the Supreme Emperor."
Emperor Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting that she would not dare to be targeted.
She turned her head and stared at Madam Xi, "The Supreme Emperor must be very good at treating you, why do you want to kill him?"
"Shut up!" Madam Xi stared at her coldly, "I have never had the intention of murdering the Supreme Emperor."
"Dare you dare to say that you didn't change the medicine?" Yuan Qingling asked.
Madam Xi was silent.
Emperor Mingyuan's hand that was about to slap the table slowly put down. He looked at Madam Xi quietly, and his heart slowly calmed down.
Madam Xi could refute it, but she didn't.
She is defaulting.
Emperor Mingyuan was shocked and angry, how could it be Madam Xi?
"Princess Chu, do you have evidence?" Mu Ru's father-in-law was frightened and couldn't help asking.
Yuan Qingling said lightly: "The evidence is in Qiankun Palace. In front of the Supreme Emperor, Madam Xi, are you willing to admit it before the Supreme Emperor? Anyway, you have harmed him once, and I believe you don't care whether he will get angry and sick because of you. Let's go to Qiankun Palace to confront him."
Madam Xi almost quickly raised her head, the light in her eyes dimmed inch by inch, and the tight flesh on her face slowly relaxed, drooping the corners of her eyes, and she suddenly seemed to have a few years older.
"No need to go to Qiankun Palace, I admit it!" She knelt down slowly.
The hall was as silent as if there was no other sound except the anger of Emperor Mingyuan's breath.
After a while, Emperor Mingyuan's voice slowly rang out, empty and pale, "Why?"
Madam Xi showed a smile that was even more ugly than crying, "The old slave never thought of murdering the Supreme Emperor. The medicine was replaced by the old slave, but the old slave didn't know it was poison. After knowing it, it was too late."
"So you killed Xiao Luozi and let him take the blame for you!" Yuan Qingling said coldly.
"I didn't kill it." Madam Xi said.
"Who instructed you to change the medicine?" Emperor Mingyuan felt a sensation of coldness behind him. In the palace, there were not many people who could instruct Madam Xi.
Madam Xi kowtowed, "Your Majesty, I will not say anything."
"You..." Emperor Mingyuan was extremely disappointed, "After this matter, you don't even want to say anything to the person behind your back? It can be seen that the Supreme Emperor trusted you for nothing."
Madam Xi trembled her lips, regretful and sad, "The emperor will give the old slave to die. In the past, the old slave has also helped the emperor a lot. Don't torture and confess. Once the old slave bites his mouth to death, he will never let go, so as not torture and suffer the flesh and blood before his death."
Emperor Mingyuan really couldn't bear this heart. He was definitely not a soft-hearted person, but he was no longer a normal slave to Madam Xi and Eunuch Chang. When he was the crown prince, they helped him a lot.
Yuan Qingling knew she wouldn't say it.
In Madam Xi’s heart, the Supreme Emperor has a very heavy position.
She was even willing to give her life to the Supreme Emperor.
She would do this for a person who is more important than the Supreme Emperor, and she would rather die than protect this person.
Yuan Qingling then asked about returning to Nanzhu, "So, who asked you to send Nanzhu to the queen?"
Madam Xi was silent for a moment, but she still wanted to speak but stopped.
Emperor Mingyuan was furious and furious, "Can't you even say this?"
Madam Xi's eyes slid two tears, she slapped her breath, and even swallowed: "It was the Princess Qi who gave Nanzhu to the Empress. She hated the Princess Chu for taking the King of Chu with a trick, so she wanted to take revenge on her."
"Does the change of medicine mean Princess Qi?" Emperor Mingyuan's eyes were filled with anger.
Madam Xi shook her head, "It's not her. She doesn't have the ability to instruct the old slave to deal with the Supreme Emperor."
"Does she have the ability to instruct you to harm the Princess Chu?" Emperor Mingyuan said coldly.
