Han's face turned pale. At this moment, her heart was not as sure as it was at first.
The imperial army dispatched by the emperor alone and the internal servants who served closely all went to check, and they all said that they did not find any livestock pens in the eldest princess's mansion. Could it be that they really didn't?
Han's heart began to waver.
She turned to look at Han Ling'er: "Put out your hand, I want to see if you, a lady from an official family, have to do menial work in the house?"
Han Ling'er was stunned for a moment, and then she stretched out her hand generously: "If my aunt wants to see it, my niece will not dare not give it to me. However, things have come to this point. As the head of Pingyang Houfu, my aunt
Mistress, no matter what happens, you must think about the Marquis."
The implication could not be clearer. She did not only have Gu Ningshuang as a daughter, but her son was the one she would rely on in the future.
However, Mrs. Han seemed not to listen at all, and just took her hand and inspected her inside and outside.
When she discovered that Han Ling'er did have fresh calluses on her hands, she became excited.
She raised Han Ling'er's hand and looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, look, the calluses on Ling'er's hands are all new. They are definitely caused by doing too much menial work in the eldest princess's residence. The eldest princess said she was not tortured.
They, I think, are just lies."
Li Huang looked at Han, who seemed to be grasping at straws, and the mocking look in his eyes became even more intense.
No wonder Gu Ningshuang's brain is so stupid. It turns out that like mother, like son.
The old emperor was really fed up with the stubborn Han family. No wonder Pingyang Houfu had made no achievements in these years. It turned out that he married such a brainless mad woman.
He turned his gaze to Han Ling'er, with a full sense of oppression in his tone: "Miss Han, what's the matter with the calluses on your hands?"
Because his gaze was so oppressive, Han Ling'er shrank inwardly, but she still replied politely: "Your Majesty, I have been practicing at the eldest princess's residence these days and practiced with the guards in the morning. If Mrs. Pingyang doesn't believe it, it's okay.
Go and ask Mr. Luo."
Han's expression froze, why does this involve Luo Mingchuan?
He is a ruthless man. Can he testify for Han?
When the old emperor saw that the trouble was almost over, he immediately lowered his face and asked: "Mrs. Pingyang, now that the matter has been found out, what else do you have to say?"
Mrs. Han opened her mouth: "My wife..."
She was really panicked. How could she have imagined that Han Ling'er would fight to death and refused to stand by her side? It must be said that those calluses were polished by practicing martial arts.
What can she do?
Han was very unwilling. It was obvious that the eldest princess had bullied others too much, but she could do nothing about her.
The old emperor saw the unwillingness and resentment in her eyes and scolded her: "Ms. Han, it is a serious crime to slander the royal family. I will not punish you for the sake of the Duke Protector's contribution to the founding of the country, but
You're wearing imperial robes, so don't wear them anymore."
Han's body swayed and he almost fainted.
The emperor is going to take her life!
She is a majestic wife of a first-grade marquis, but she has no royal title. How will she be able to walk in the capital in the future?
"Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong. I hope that your Majesty and the eldest princess can be lenient."
Mrs. Han really regretted it now. The reason why she ignored Li Huang again and again was because she didn't believe that he really didn't like her son.
She felt that the reason why the other party had treated the Gu family in this way during this period of time was just to force her son to commit a crime. In the final analysis, it was just a little temper that a woman loves but cannot play with.
But now, she no longer dares to think that the other party just wants to teach them a lesson.
The other party really wanted to beat their Pingyang Houfu to the end.
Thinking of this, Han felt a sense of fear in his heart.
"His Majesty……"
However, before she could speak again, she was interrupted impatiently by the old emperor: "Okay, don't just rely on the Gu family's ancestral merits to challenge my bottom line again and again. I also have a temper!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced at the chamberlain beside him. The chambermaid understood this and immediately stepped forward and took off Han's crown.
Han fell to the ground, his face ashen.
"Mrs. Pingyang, please. By the time His Majesty throws you out of the palace, you will lose even your last bit of dignity."
The chamberlain said in a high-pitched voice.
He thought that His Majesty's temper had been settled, but if he provoked such a violent monarch, their whole family would have died a thousand and eight hundred times.
Mrs. Han got up from the ground with disheveled hair and walked out of the palace in despair.
It wasn't until she left the palace gate that she realized that she was being plotted by Li Huang again.
The other party just calculated that Han Ling'er would not admit that she was feeding livestock in the eldest princess's mansion for the sake of her own reputation.
That's why she set up such a trap and waited for the mother and daughter to get into it.
What a idiot princess!
She underestimated her!
After Han left, the old emperor leaned back on the soft chair with a headache, and Li Huang looked guilty.
"It's Huang'er's matter that makes father worry about it."
The old emperor waved his hand: "They are all these ignorant things. They always come to mess with you. I don't blame you."
"Now that I have taken away her life, she will no longer be able to come into the palace to make irresponsible remarks. Don't worry, as for that nonsense Gu Ningshuang, huh, I will take care of her for you."
Li Huang felt warm in his heart, hugged the old emperor's arm and said affectionately: "Father, I can handle such a small matter by myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
The old emperor was very happy by her intimate actions, and the anger caused by Han's just disappeared instantly.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle it yourself."
Seeing the father and daughter living together harmoniously, Han Ling'er felt it was wise to say goodbye.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Princess, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Li Huang glanced at her: "You can go back to the Han Mansion directly. There is no need to go back to my eldest princess's mansion."
Han Ling'er, who was just about to cross the threshold, was caught off guard by such an amnesty, and she was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly out of the palace gate.
On the other hand, before Han returned to the palace, the news that she had been deprived of her title by the emperor immediately spread.
After Pingyang Hou got the news, he didn't care about the yamen affairs anymore, so he left his son and returned to his house in advance.
Before he stepped into the courtyard, he heard Gu Ningshuang's charming voice: "Mother, that bitch is clearly setting a trap for us. She must have had all the livestock moved away when she entered the palace.
I never imagined that this woman could be so treacherous, not only trying to harm me, but also trying to harm you."
"Mom, let's go tell dad, let dad give us such a tone, what happened to the royal princess? Can the royal princess do whatever she wants?"
Seeing Gu Ningshuang's words getting more and more outrageous, Pingyang Hou's old face turned completely black.
