The queen didn't know what to say, so she glanced at Emperor Ming Yuan anxiously. Seeing his gloomy face, she quickly winked at the old lady and asked her to say something to smooth things over.
The old lady said coldly: "Your Majesty, Queen, King Qi, as a descendant of the royal family, spoiled his concubine and destroyed his wife. Although Cui'er was impulsive and wrong, the fault is not entirely her fault. Now King Qi insists on getting divorced because of his concubine.
, it is really ridiculous to spread the news and it will damage the face of the royal family and the Chu family. I also ask the emperor to issue an order. When King Qi's injury improves, we can go to the palace to discuss the crime and order not to make peace."
The old lady did not mean to ask for anything in her words. On the contrary, she was a bit aggressive.
She even connected the face of the royal family with the face of the Chu family. This made the queen suddenly change her color and look at Emperor Ming Yuan suddenly in shock.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face was still ugly just now. After hearing what the old lady said, he was no longer angry. He even had a smile on his face and said: "Old madam, please be patient. I will ask you clearly about this matter."
, I heard from the chief minister that you are not in good health, so go back and rest for a while. The matter of grandchildren here depends on the fate of your children and grandchildren, so don't worry about it."
After saying that, he stood up and left. Before leaving, he glanced at Chu Mingcui lightly.
The old lady was so angry that she didn't expect that Emperor Ming Yuan didn't even say a word of comfort and just left, without even paying attention to her.
After Emperor Ming Yuan left, he told Eunuch Mu Ru, "Invite the King of Chu and the King of Qi to enter the palace."
Eunuch Mu Ru was startled, "Your Majesty, King Qi is still injured."
"I won't die." Emperor Ming Yuan said coldly. If the injury was really serious, someone from the palace would have reported it long ago. "Also, tell the Queen Mother about this and ask the Queen Mother to go there in person."
Eunuch Mu Ru took the order.
Seeing that Emperor Ming Yuan had left, the queen ordered someone to help the old lady sit down, and said anxiously: "Grandma, how can you talk to the emperor like this? Isn't this making the emperor angry?"
The old lady's face was rather stern, "Queen, this is because of your lax discipline. Even if Qing'er behaves so wantonly and abandons the main concubine for the side concubine, if the news spreads, does our Chu family still have face?"
How do you tell Cui'er to behave?"
The queen said displeasedly: "Grandma, I don't like to hear what you are saying, and I dare not say anything else. Qing'er will never abandon the main concubine just because she loves the concubine Yuan. He has already gone to the palace to report the matter.
I also reprimanded him angrily, but I don’t know what happened to them after they returned."
She turned to Chu Mingcui, and her voice was a bit colder, "But no matter what, you should not hurt him. If you hadn't done too much, I don't believe that he would divorce you. Also, what did you say to the emperor just now?"
, doesn’t it mean that the emperor has a problem with Lao Qi? You are harming him. You should not have entered the palace in the first place. If anything happens, can’t you order someone to inform me? "
When Chu Mingcui saw that the emperor was gone, she stopped crying and begged on her knees: "Aunt, my niece is unwilling to reconcile. Please persuade him to give up his thoughts."
"I, the Chu family, do not want to give up abandoned wives!" Mrs. Tailao also made her position clear coldly, "If King Qi really wants to divorce his concubine, I will be the first to spare him."
The queen couldn't help feeling worried.
She is the daughter of the Chu family, so she should put the Chu family first in everything.
But King Qi is her biological son. If he wants to help the Chu family, he has to take responsibility for his son.
After much thought, she did not dare to offend the old lady, so she could only vent her anger on Chu Mingcui, "What exactly did you say you were causing trouble? Qing'er used to be kind to you in every possible way, but you just made him angry.
, tell me honestly, what exactly did you do? He said that you had an affair with the King of Chu, is this true?"
Chu Mingcui was surprised, and then her tears fell again, and she said sadly and angrily: "Aunt, you are forcing your niece to death by saying this."
The old lady was very angry, "Queen, what you said is really out of proportion. How can you still look like an elder? Is Cui'er that kind of person? She has been with you in the palace since she was a child. You don't know what her character is.
?It was clearly the little bitch of the Yuan family who said it to drive a wedge between their couple. Lao Qi just stupidly believed it, and so did you? Did the lard fool you?"
There are other palace people in this palace. Although they are all confidants, the queen is the master of the harem after all. Hearing the old lady reprimanding her in front of the palace people, she became even more angry and her tone was not good. "Grandma, I am asking you now."
