"You're talking nonsense! I saw it with my own eyes. It was clearly you who took the initiative to mess with Fourth Brother. You were seducing Fourth Brother!" Seeing Xie Yao's sophistry, Chu Rui said quickly.
"I didn't." Xie Yao said coldly.
"Why didn't you? At that time, Shangguan Yue and I both saw it with our own eyes!"
Shangguan Yue had just woken up and was feeling dizzy. When she heard Chu Rui mention her, she quickly bowed to the queen and said: "I would like to express my gratitude to my mother, the princess has not been favored by the prince since she married into Prince Han's palace. It is inevitable that this will happen over time.
There will be some siltation in the heart, so the princess must also have difficulties."
Xie Yao sneered secretly in her heart, Shangguan Yue is really a lie that will last forever.
"Xie Yao, what else do you have to say!" Chu Rui asked immediately.
She couldn't believe that when she got here and her mother was in charge, she could prevent Xie Yao from pleading guilty.
"I didn't." Xie Yao's tone was still cold.
"Xie Yao, you..." Chu Rui gritted his teeth.
"Shut up!" the queen scolded coldly, frightening the palace attendants in Fengyi Palace to the point where they all fell to their knees.
Xie Yao lowered his head slightly and said nothing.
Chu Rui glared at Xie Yao unwillingly and could only shut up.
The queen's eyes darkened slightly, "You are arguing in front of me, what kind of place is Fengyi Palace?"
The phoenix eyes immediately glanced at Chu Mu, "King Mu, please tell me truthfully, what is the relationship between you and Princess Han? Have you done anything to disgrace the royal family?"
Chu Mu bowed slightly, with a solemn look on his face, "Mother, please calm down. Although my sons and ministers like beautiful women, they have always adhered to their duties and never overstepped the bounds. The concubines in the house are also voluntary, and they have never used force. Fifth brother
I don’t know why my daughter-in-law has taken the initiative to come to my son and seduce him again and again."
"My son has taken the initiative to avoid it, but he really can't. However, he has always kept his original intention and has never had anything happen to his fifth sister-in-law."
The queen's eyes were cold and her voice seemed to be wrapped in ice, "Princess Han, have you forgotten your identity? There were rumors about you and Prince Mu during the previous palace banquet. I have already issued an edict, although I did not name you.
Your last name is yours, but everyone knows that I am talking about you."
"I have given you face, but you don't know how to repent, and you go the extra mile, daring to block the Shepherd King in the street! Do you still have the word shame in your eyes, and do you still have national laws?"
"I am in charge of the harem. If I don't deal with you today, how will I face the ancestors of the royal family! Someone..."
Before the words could be spoken, an enchanting figure walked in from outside the palace, "Why is the Queen so angry? Anger is very harmful to the body, so the Queen should pay more attention to herself."
The queen frowned slightly, "Yifei, what are you doing here?"
Concubine Yi came closer and bowed to the queen, "Queen, please calm down. They say that if you laugh too much, you will get wrinkles, but if you get angry too much, you will have a rigid face. How can you still make the emperor like you?"
When the emperor's favor was mentioned, the queen's face turned ugly again, "I am the commander of the harem. How can I establish my authority if I have a smiling face all year round? Concubine Yi will not understand the difficulties of this palace in seeking political power in her position."
.”
"I am currently handling the matter. Concubine Yi will sit aside for now. We will wait until I finish processing the matter before it is too late."
Yi Fei walked aside leisurely and sat down, and then Shi Shiran said, "Conducting the harem is indeed a hard and thankless job. Thank you for your hard work, Queen."
After sitting firmly, she looked at Xie Yao, who happened to raise her eyes as well. Their eyes met for a moment, and then separated.
The Queen's phoenix eyes darkened, she suppressed her anger and ignored Concubine Yi, and ordered outside: "Come here, hand over Princess Han to the Zongren Mansion for interrogation."
Shangguan Yue felt relieved, as long as Xie Yao was punished, the matter would be settled. Even if the case was overturned in the future, Xie Yao would not be able to return to Prince Han's Mansion.
"Wait a minute." Yi Fei suddenly stopped her.
"Yifei, what are you going to do?" The queen narrowed her eyes coldly, with a hint of warning.
"Queen, you don't have to be like this. I'm just curious about how big of a mistake Princess Han made to be sent to the clan mansion." Concubine Yi asked with a puzzled expression.
"Princess Han seduced King Mu and stopped her on the street with evil intentions! Does Yi Fei know about this?" The queen stared at Yi Fei with cold eyes.
"Of course I don't know." Concubine Yi shook her head, "But I am a little strange. King Mu is not weak in skills, so how did he get blocked by Princess Han, but couldn't escape?"
"In the eyes of this palace, Princess Han is a weak woman with no strength. She only knows some medical skills. Is it possible that she got sick because of King Mu? Did the Queen send the imperial doctor to King Mu to check her?
"
"Is Concubine Yi teaching me how to do things?" The queen's breath has turned cold, and her eyes are threatening.
"The Queen has misunderstood. If the Emperor comes and asks, the Queen will not be able to explain. I also think about the Queen." Concubine Yi looked very concerned.
The Queen sneered and was about to speak when she suddenly heard Eunuch Liu shouting from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"
The queen's expression condensed and she gave Yi Fei a cold look.
Yi Fei's face remained as usual.
In an instant, everyone in the hall stared at each other and saluted.
"I have met the (Father) Emperor!"
Emperor Zhaochu stepped in and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground with cold eyes. His face was cold and he asked, "Queen, what happened?"
The queen stood up with a somewhat ugly look on her face, "Your Majesty, it's hard for me to talk about this matter, so you should ask Princess Han personally." Concubine Yi thought that calling the emperor here would help Xie Yao smooth over the matter?
Now that the evidence is conclusive, it will only make Xie Yao worse!
Emperor Zhaochu had pressure all over his body and his eyes were captivating, "Princess Han, tell me, what is going on?"
"To inform my father, my daughter-in-law wanted to go back to the General's Mansion to visit her grandfather, but she was stopped by the Shepherd King and wanted to do something wrong." Xie Yao knelt straight and spoke concisely.
"Father, Princess Han slandered my son." Chu Mu immediately spoke and retorted with a serious expression, "Princess Han had taken the initiative to seduce my son before the palace banquet, and there were even rumors. At the palace banquet, my son wanted to warn Han.
Princess, I took out the small items that Princess Han deliberately placed on the carriage."
"I didn't expect that Princess Han would not hold back, and she would go even worse. Fortunately, Princess Rui and the fifth brother's Shangguan concubine were passing by this time, otherwise I would have had some trouble getting out."
"Since this happened before, why didn't you report it?" Emperor Zhaochu's eyes were full of pressure, making people afraid to look directly at him.
"I thought Princess Han was just out of her mind for a moment. After all, this matter would affect Princess Han's reputation. I didn't expect..." Chu Mu's voice was a little annoyed, "If I had known this, I would have reported the matter as soon as possible.
Father."
Xie Yao was quietly listening to Chu Mu's confusion of right and wrong, sneering in her heart, feeling extremely disgusted, and secretly clenched her hands.
Emperor Zhaochu looked at Xie Yao and asked in a deep voice: "Princess Han, you denied that you had ever been in Lao Si's carriage at the palace banquet. Is this true?"
"Yes, Father." Xie Yao admitted.
"I'm asking you now, have you ever gotten on Lao Si's carriage?" Emperor Zhaochu's voice became colder.
"Been there." Xie Yao pursed her lips tightly and replied after a slight hesitation.
