Having said that, the Queen Mother naturally believed in Gu Hanzhang. From seeing the older children since she was a child, she knew that Gu Hanzhang had never disdain to lie.
Gu Hanzhang bowed his hands and saluted the Queen Mother and the Empress, but his expression remained indifferent.
"Wei Chen has been waiting outside the palace, and it is not convenient for him to come in." Gu Hanzhang glanced at the guard kneeling on the ground indifferently, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, Hanzhang will naturally convince people."
Shen Lianyi understood that Gu Hanzhang would definitely support Chaoli today. Her fingers hanging by her side were twisted unconsciously and her nails were dug in.
Damn it, why is she Chaoli!
As if seeing Shen Lianyi's gaze, Chaoli suddenly made a move.
Before everyone had time to react, they saw Chaoli walking towards Gu Hanzhang, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, and then turned to look at everyone.
"The prince saw that I was too drunk today, so he proposed to take me for a walk. I didn't want to be misunderstood."
The next moment, Gu Hanzhang suddenly stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on Chao Li's shoulder.
"It's okay, I'm here."
Chaoli's eyes flickered, and images of his past life flashed through his mind.
I had never heard him say this in my previous life. Even though I knew he was putting on a show, it still gave Chaoli a sense of stability and security.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
This behavior of the two people can be said to be out of line. Even if the people of Daqi are open and the two are newlyweds, it would still be inappropriate to do such an intimate behavior outside.
But the Queen Mother and the Empress didn't seem to notice and did not reprimand Gu Hanzhang.
"Oh? Hanzhang, tell me, what's going on?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.
Seeing the good relationship between the two young people, the Queen Mother was overjoyed. She didn't care what was out of the ordinary, as long as she felt that the two of them could get along well, they would definitely be able to hold the two of them for three years.
With that said, Gu Hanzhang withdrew his hand from Chaoli's shoulder, but when he dropped it, he accidentally touched Chaoli's fingers hanging on his side.
The brief moment of contact made both of them feel shocked.
There were obviously so many ladies in the room, as well as the Queen Mother and the Empress, but for a moment, Chaoli felt that only she and Gu Hanzhang were left, and an unspeakable atmosphere spread between them.
The two of them avoided each other's eyes in unison, Chaoli lowered her head and looked at the ground, making her expression unclear.
Gu Hanzhang coughed lightly before explaining.
"It is true that as Chaozhen said, A Li's dress was wet by the palace maid at the banquet, and she did intend to change it. However, when Wei Chen came to see her, she had to walk with Wei Chen, and then Wei Chen's clothes There were water stains on it.”
While speaking, Gu Hanzhang motioned for everyone to look at Chaoli's clothes and his own clothes.
After hearing this, many people understood and looked at Chaoli with a teasing look.
Unexpectedly, it turns out that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess have such a good relationship in private.
Shen Lianyi almost broke her teeth, and the jealousy in her heart almost went to her head.
Only Chaozhen still didn't understand what Gu Hanzhang meant.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Just because you two have water stains on your body can't prove that you are together. Your Majesty is so partial to your eldest sister. At this time, you have to speak for your eldest sister and distort the truth in front of the Queen Mother and the Empress. Chaozhen was so angry that she was so angry.
Gu Hanzhang remained silent, still not giving Chaozhen a look of mercy.
However, the Queen Mother understood Gu Hanzhang's temperament, and it was already difficult to explain in just two sentences. Naturally, it was impossible to ask Gu Hanzhang to explain to Chaozhen until she understood.
Besides, she doesn't deserve it either.
The queen sneered, "This is not simple. Didn't you see that the water stains of the two people can overlap? Not only are the shapes similar, but the color is also the same dark red. It is impossible to do it without touching face to face, and they are still doing it.
The water stains are not just there. Also, this fruit wine is made from tribute grapes, it won’t be available outside, and it’s impossible for the Crown Princess to prepare it in advance. We’ll know it after a quick check.”
After listening to the queen's explanation, Chaozhen completely understood.
In other words, after Chaoli's body was wet with wine, she was with Gu Hanzhang, and the two were very close and even hugged each other, so there were traces of wine in the same place.
But Chaoli must have entered first. Someone clearly saw her walking in and informed her, otherwise she would not have left the palace banquet and come here.
Although I don’t know why it became like this later, it must have something to do with Chaoli.
Of course Chaozhen knew who the designer was, but it was a pity that she couldn't tell her at this time.
Regardless of whether the Queen Mother and the Queen believe it or not, just because she has no evidence, it is easy for her to be bitten back and offend the other party.
If she is offended, I'm afraid her life will be worse than death.
Now that we have reached such a stage, we can only break our teeth and swallow it in our stomach.
"My dear, my dear, I don't know what's going on." Chaozhen whispered.
The Queen snorted coldly, "I don't know what's going on? Didn't you just say that you were plausibly saying that the Crown Princess designed to frame you? Now that you can't find a chance, you just say that you don't know what's going on? Do you think this is a crime of lewdness and incest in the harem?
, you can erase it without even knowing it?"
Hearing this, Chaozhen's face changed drastically, and she finally realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was just not clear-headed at the time, so I lost my sense of control. I did not do it intentionally. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." He knelt down and threw himself at the Queen.
Since the quilt on her body wasn't wrapped very tightly, when she moved, a large area of spring light was revealed.
Unfortunately, except for Gu Hanzhang, who was all a woman present, there was no reaction, and Gu Hanzhang had already retreated outside the door.
Of course the queen would not allow Chao Zhen to rush to her feet, so she immediately dodged to the left.
"Go away, you're so dirty!"
The Queen Mother's expression was calm, but Xiang Chaozhen's eyes were still full of displeasure and unspeakable disgust.
"If you tie yourself up in a cocoon, the Queen will definitely punish you severely."
According to what the Queen Mother meant, it would be better to just beat her to death with a stick.
"Yes, mother, don't worry." The queen replied immediately.
Since the Queen Mother demands severe punishment, the Queen will not let go. She must be severely punished.
But he didn't expect that Chaoli would suddenly speak.
"Queen Mother, please spare Chaozhen's life."
"Prince Concubine, she was wronging you just now, but now you want to plead for her? You should know that you are too kind in this matter." The Queen Mother stopped talking.
Chaoli nodded slightly, bowed to the Queen Mother gently, and then spoke sincerely.
"The Queen Mother doesn't know. Although my life in the palace is not satisfactory, I have always regarded Chaozhen as my sister since she was a child. Now that something like this happened to her, I naturally feel uncomfortable. My father has always loved his second sister the most.
, I just don’t want my father to suffer, and besides, she has learned her lesson today and only wants to keep her alive.”
Having said this, Chao Li lowered his head, hiding the disdain in his eyes and the strange curve of his mouth.
