Queen Chu looked at Aunt Bao in surprise, "What did you hear wrong? I asked you to return Nanzhu. How did you report it?"
"Your Majesty..." Bao Gugu's lips turned white and she kept trembling, "I am so smart that I thought that Princess Chu sent Nanzhu for the King of Chu, so I added one more sentence, saying that Princess Chu sent me the pearl.
A few kind words for the King of Chu."
Queen Chu was furious, "You actually made random guesses? You are so brave!"
Empress Chu suddenly calmed down. Yubao had been with her for many years and had always had a calm temper. It was impossible for her to say her random guesses in front of the emperor.
She immediately thought of Chu Mingcui.
Chu Mingcui had proposed to find Concubine Xian before, but she thought there was no need to confront Concubine Xian for the time being. Concubine Xian was the niece of the Queen Mother, and if she offended Concubine Xian, things would not be easy to do.
Emperor Ming Yuan's face suddenly turned ugly. How could Yu Bao dare to do this? Fearing that it was the queen's order, his eyes passed over Queen Chu's face coldly.
Empress Chu had to stand up and express her position. She slapped Aunt Bao on the face and said angrily: "How dare you tell the emperor if you make random guesses? How many heads do you have?"
Aunt Bao knelt on the ground and did not dare to cover her face. She just kept saying: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Emperor Ming Yuan ordered without expression: "Come here, drag Yu Bao down and take responsibility for the thirty big boards."
Empress Chu felt distressed, but she couldn't speak for her. She just said angrily: "I've given you an advantage, why don't you thank me?"
Aunt Bao kowtows, her body is already mostly limp, her face is as pale as earth and she says: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the punishment."
Aunt Bao was dragged out, and after a while, the sound of crackling sticks and muffled sounds could be heard outside.
Queen Chu looked calm, but was extremely anxious inside, scolding Chu Mingcui for being reckless.
Concubine Xian was just watching the excitement at this moment. She thought that the daughter-in-law was going to curry favor with the queen and humiliated her. She didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns in the process. She had to take a closer look.
Emperor Ming Yuan looked at Yuan Qing Ling with complicated expressions in his eyes.
This matter cannot be pursued any further. Even if Yuan Qingling ordered Grandma Xi to send Nanzhu away, she could only stop talking about it first.
I'm just afraid of finding out something.
After all, Aunt Xi is an old man from the Supreme Emperor's side. She can't make any mistakes, lest she offends the Supreme Emperor and harms her body.
After considering it for a moment, he said calmly: "Now that the matter is clear and the punishment is due, you can all go back."
The queen knew that the emperor had misunderstood her and thought that she had deliberately framed the King of Chu. However, it was useless to defend herself at the moment and she had to ask Chu Mingcui carefully, so she hurriedly left.
Concubine Xian glanced at Yuan Qingling and resigned. She knew it well, but the emperor was obviously unwilling to open up the ugliness under the whitewash. The royal family wanted to save face.
Grandma Xi also wanted to leave, but Yuan Qingling said: "Mammy, there is something I want to ask you."
Emperor Ming Yuan warned: "Princess Chu, the matter ends here."
Yuan Qingling changed his calm tone and suddenly said: "Father, this matter is of great importance. I must ask this question clearly."
Aunt Xi looked at Yuan Qingling and said calmly: "What does the princess want to say? Didn't you ask the old slave to send this Nanzhu to Zhongshen Palace? Since the princess doesn't admit it, then it's the old slave who makes his own decisions.
, the old slave takes the blame.”
Yuan Qingling looked at her and said: "We all know whether you are good at making decisions, but what I want to ask is why you changed the Supreme Emperor's Nine Turns Pill and blamed Xiao Luozi."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Princess Chu, what are you talking about?"
Yuan Qing Ling looked directly at Emperor Ming Yuan and said, "No matter how courageous my father and daughter-in-law are, they would not dare to make random arrangements and frame the old people around the Supreme Emperor."
Emperor Ming Yuan was stunned for a moment, as he expected that she would not dare to take the target lightly.
She turned to stare at Aunt Xi, "The Emperor must have treated you well, why did you want to kill him?"
"Shut up!" Aunt Xi stared at her coldly, "I have never had the slightest intention of murdering the Supreme Emperor."
