Ruan Mianmian finally lost her composure and said angrily: "Princess Minghui, I know I have enmity with you because of the embroidery workshop, but you can't frame me indiscriminately because of this matter."
"Is it falsely accusing you?"
Li Minghui didn't expect that just like last time, Ruan Mianmian would use a few words to make a big move, and she would be completely unable to resist.
"Minghui." The Empress hurriedly interrupted Li Minghui. The emperor had already turned cold. If she said more, she would definitely be held accountable.
Li Yu looked on with cold eyes and sneered: "Princess Minghui was just like this last time."
The Empress glared at Li Yu fiercely, and his words at this time undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.
"Okay, Mianmian and Ying'er should go back first." The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Eunuch Kang, send the two princesses away."
"Wait a minute." The Queen Mother looked at Li Minghui and looked at Ruan Mianmian as if she wanted to eat her and said without thinking.
Ruan Mianmian looked at the Queen and asked with a smile: "What else do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, everyone is insisting on their own opinions. Ruan Mianmian is suspected."
Hearing the Queen's words, the Emperor was displeased and was about to get angry, but he didn't expect Li Yu to step forward: "Princess Minghui's words are unfounded, and besides, this so-called witness is a maid she brought from southern Xinjiang. On the contrary, Princess Ankang can
Prove that this matter has nothing to do with Mianmian."
If you want to say that Li Ying lied, let alone the queen, even Li Gong didn't believe it.
The queen was suddenly speechless, but her eyes looking at Li Yu were filled with anger, but he didn't take it seriously.
"Your Majesty, Mianmian takes leave." Xiao Naituanzi was also angry, not for herself, because she just couldn't see the Queen being so indifferent to her little brother.
"The old marquis is here!" Eunuch Kang accidentally raised his head and saw the figure coming from outside and quickly reported, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Ding'an, Ruan Geng, wants to see you."
Grandfather is here. Ruan Mianmian can't help but grin.
Ruan Geng strode in and saluted respectfully. As soon as he straightened up, his little breast dumpling had already rushed towards him and hugged his thigh. He bent down and picked her up.
"You little baby, are you in trouble again?" Ruan Geng asked with a smile.
Ruan Mianmian shook his head and looked aggrieved: "Grandpa, I didn't cause trouble, it was trouble that got me."
The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Old Marquis, Mianmian is right."
"Oh?" Ruan Geng raised his eyes and glanced at Li Gong, "Today Mianmian is here for an appointment with Princess Minghui. I was wondering if a group of little girls would bully my little breast dumplings. I didn't expect this.
"
"What the old Marquis said, it is not Ruan Mianmian who is being bullied and has a bad reputation, but Minghui and Wiseness." The Empress complained angrily.
Ruan Geng gently put Ruan Mianmian down and patted her little head: "Whoever bullies you should come to see me. How did you find my Mianmian?"
Ruan Mianmian blinked his big eyes and complained: "Grandpa, sister Ying and I don't understand what's going on. The emperor lets us go, but the empress doesn't let us go."
Hearing this, Ruan Geng's face turned cold: "Empress, I don't know what happened today. If Mian Mian is wrong, please provide evidence. I will not be biased. But if it is without evidence or even fabricated out of thin air, the emperor will give it to you."
Lao Chen and Mianmian make the decision."
"Old Marquis, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Li Gong stood up and said with a smile before anyone else could say anything.
A few days after returning to Beijing, Li Gong found that the situation in the capital was very different from what he imagined.
The important ministers in the court were divided into several factions, but no matter how hard they tried, Ruan Geng, the Marquis of Ding'an, and Jichang, the Taifu, were the emperor's right-hand men. It can even be said that they outnumbered all civil and military officials.
There is no conclusive evidence at the moment, and even Li Gong would not dare to confront Ruan Geng.
"It's just a misunderstanding." Ruan Geng held Ruan Mianmian's little hand with a kind look on his face, "Your Majesty, I came here specially to take Mianmian back to your home. If you have no other instructions, I will leave first."
"Old Marquis, please stay. Although there is no direct evidence that it is related to Ruan Mianmian, there is also no evidence that it has nothing to do with her." The Empress also wanted to stand up for Li Minghui.
Li Yu, who had always kept his emotions secret, became angry: "Does the Queen Mother want to detain Mian Mian?"
"Your Majesty, the prince has contradicted me again and again. Are you going to let him run wild?"
Normally, the Empress does not get angry easily, but when facing Li Yu, she became angry when she remembered that her own daughter's reputation was ruined, and instead of helping her, he helped Ruan Mianmian, who might be the mastermind behind the scenes.
It went straight up.
Li Yu glared at the queen, making it clear that he was unwilling to bow his head. The queen also glared at him, and the mother and son were like enemies.
The emperor couldn't help but scratch his head. He really had a headache. He was an emperor and there were a lot of women in the palace, but what he cared about most was the queen and the children she gave birth to.
Previously, the queen tried her best to help Li Ling deal with Li Yu, but her daughter was spoiled by her and was finally sent to get married.
The emperor originally thought it would calm down, but he didn't expect that Li Yu seemed to be a different person now. In the past, he was obedient to the queen, but now he doesn't give her any face and often confronts her, which makes him in a dilemma as the emperor.
Ruan Geng stopped with a serious look on his face, and Ruan Mianmian felt that his grandfather seemed to be hesitating and about to make up his mind to make a major decision.
Ruan Mianmian raised her head and stared at Ruan Geng. Li Ying obediently held her other hand and waited quietly.
"Your Majesty." Ruan Geng let go of Ruan Mianmian's hand and turned around to salute.
"Old Marquis, what else do you want? Tell me." The emperor looked at the queen and her son with helpless expressions.
Ruan Geng stepped forward and lowered his voice and whispered: "Your Majesty, you know the Queen's feelings. I feel that everyone who should be present today is here. It would be better if we let the matter go."
Hearing this, the emperor showed a look of astonishment, and everyone who had originally focused their attention on the queen and Li Yu looked at them in surprise.
Suddenly, the room became so quiet that even Ruan Mianmian felt as if he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"You all go down." A firm look appeared on the emperor's face, "It's been ten years, it's time to make it clear."
Li Gong, the king of Southern Xinjiang, suddenly looked ugly. He never expected that Ruan Geng would come up with this idea. It was hard to hide it when they were face to face with him.
"Your Majesty?" The Queen also looked confused.
Li Yu was indifferent, since he didn't care about anything except Mianmian anyway.
"Mianmian, take Princess Ankang back first." Ruan Geng turned around and ordered, "Brothers and Li Wang are waiting for you two outside."
However, the emperor waved his hand and signaled that Eunuch Kang deliberately asked all those serving him to go down.
"Eunuch Kang, please send the two princesses to you."
"The slave obeys the order."
Ruan Mianmian led Li Ying and followed Eunuch Kang away. When she stepped out of the threshold, she looked back curiously and saw that both the emperor and her grandfather looked serious.
