However, the furious Emperor Ming Yuan asked Eunuch Mu Ru to summon Yuan Qing to pay an audience.
King Sun looked at Yuan Qingling with pity. He was really embarrassed and wanted her to face his father's anger for him. Hearing that Lao Wu was recuperating in the palace, he had better tell Lao Wu and let him find a way to bring Chu to justice.
The princess took it back.
Yuan Qing entered the palace, and Emperor Ming Yuan didn't even raise his head, he just said calmly: "Kneel down!"
Yuan Qing Ling knelt down and said, "See my father!"
The palace was in a state of chaos. Mr. Mu Ru was cleaning up the inkstone that had been smashed on the ground and writing a memorial. It seemed that the emperor was furious and smashed things at King Sun.
And on the ground, there was also a string of southern beads lying quietly, less than five feet away from where Yuan Qingling knelt down.
Emperor Ming Yuan asked calmly: "Mu Ru came back just now to report that you said that a string of Nanzhu that I gave you as a reward was missing. Where was it lost?"
"The words I returned to my father were lost in the Qiankun Palace." Yuan Qing Ling said.
"Then look at this string on the ground. Are they the Southern Pearls you lost in the Qiankun Palace?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked again.
Yuan Qingling glanced at it and said, "Yes."
"This string of southern pearls was given to me by the Queen's people. Are you saying that the Queen's people stole your southern pearls?" Emperor Ming Yuan's voice was already a bit stunned.
However, it seems that she is still being given a chance.
Yuan Qingling slowly shook her head, "No, my daughter-in-law knows who took it."
"Oh?" Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "Do you know who stole it?"
"I know, my daughter-in-law saw who took it away." She insisted on using the word "take".
"Who is it?" Emperor Ming Yuan laughed angrily.
Yuan Qingling was silent for a moment, "Auntie Xi!"
Emperor Ming Yuan slapped the table angrily, "Absurd!"
Eunuch Mu Ru said quickly: "Princess, you can't talk nonsense. Do you know that Aunt Xi is someone close to the Supreme Emperor?"
Yuan Qingling said sternly: "I know..." The words were omitted, which meant that she didn't dare to ask because she knew the identity of Grandma Xi.
Emperor Ming Yuan stared at her coldly. These words were so ridiculous that no one would believe them.
But it was so absurd that Emperor Ming Yuan had a possible illusion.
Yuan Qingling is not stupid enough to frame the people around the Supreme Emperor.
Emperor Ming Yuan actually calmed down.
Aunt Bao said that Nanzhu was sent by Aunt Xi. In other words, those words were also conveyed by Aunt Xi. If what Yuan Qingling wanted was the future of Lao Wu, why did she give it to others?
She should send it in person to show her sincerity.
Yuan Qingling was always kneeling, with a completely calm expression on her face.
She threw the difficult problem to Emperor Ming Yuan.
Is it time for the Emperor's people to come over and ask? This is a matter for Emperor Ming Yuan.
Emperor Ming Yuan thought about it again and again and ordered: "Pass the message and ask the Queen and Aunt Xi to come to the imperial study."
The palace man took the order and left.
Before Grandma Xi and the Queen arrived, Concubine Xian arrived.
Concubine Xian could no longer sit still. When she learned that Yuan Qingling had given Nanzhu to the queen, she knew that the situation was slowly changing and she could not stay in Qingyu Palace to recuperate.
After recovering from illness for a long time, even the humble daughter-in-law dared not to take her seriously.
She came out this time not because of Nanzhu's affairs, but just to shake things around so that people would know that she was not dead yet.
Concubine Xian brought ginseng tea. After entering the palace, she saw Yuan Qingling kneeling in front of the palace, with a string of southern pearls placed on the imperial desk. Then she saw the emperor's face was sullen, and Eunuch Mu Ru was silent. She felt that
Slightly sinking.
She knew that Emperor Xu was angry because Yuan Qingling sent Nanzhu to the Queen. Although she knew that this matter would involve her son, she still felt a little happy that Yuan Qingling was punished.
She raised a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I know that you have been busy with political affairs recently and are worried about the Emperor's illness, so I made ginseng tea and brought it to you."
