Concubine Xian put down the ginseng tea, looked at Yuan Qingling, hesitated and said, "Is Princess Chu also there? Then I will not hinder the emperor."
Emperor Ming Yuan said: "Since you are here and this matter has something to do with your son, please sit down."
Hearing that it was related to the King of Chu, Concubine Xian wished she could eat Yuan Qing Ling alive.
She suppressed her anger and kept the smile on her lips, "Yes!"
She moved over and sat down, her mind spinning rapidly. The emperor must have thought that Yuan Qingling's flattery to the queen was Lao Wu's intention. Lao Wu could not do such a thing. Now was the time for Mingzhe to protect himself. How could he be so aggressive?
It is not wise to take a wife.
If Lao Wu was treated coldly and exiled by the emperor again because of this, she would never let Yuan Qing Ling go.
Why did you end up with such a woman? If you had successfully married Chu Mingcui, how could you be in today's situation?
The more Concubine Xian thought about it, the angrier she became, and she already hated Yuan Qing's death.
Yuan Qingling knelt upright, how could she not feel the murderous look in Concubine Xian's eyes? If she hadn't done this, Concubine Xian would not have liked her.
"The Queen has arrived!" a eunuch announced outside the palace.
Emperor Ming Yuan raised his hand and signaled. Eunuch Mu Ru hurriedly went out and saw the Queen coming with Aunt Bao. Aunt Xi had also just arrived. He stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty invites you!"
He looked at Aunt Xi again. Aunt Xi looked calm and fearless.
Mu Rugong said impartially: "Mom, please come in!"
The queen and Aunt Bao walked in front, followed by Aunt Xi, and the three of them entered the royal study together.
When Concubine Xian saw the Queen coming, she quickly stood up to greet her and said, "I have met the Queen."
The queen glanced at Concubine Xian lightly and said, "Concubine Xian is here too."
She walked straight over, glanced at Yuan Qingling with a faint look, then passed over coldly and said to Emperor Ming Yuan Fu Shen, "Your Majesty, my concubine is here."
"Sit down!" Emperor Ming Yuan raised his hand.
Aunt Xi also stepped forward and Fu Shen said: "Old slave, please see the Emperor!"
Emperor Ming Yuan still respected Grandma very much. Grandma Xi had watched him grow up and often spoke for him in front of his father. If what happened today was purely framed by Yuan Qing Ling Pan, he was determined to avoid it.
of her guilt.
"No courtesy!" Emperor Ming Yuan said in a gentle tone.
Aunt Xi stepped aside and looked directly at Yuan Qingling without even looking at her.
Emperor Ming Yuan began to ask, "Mother Xi, did you send this Nanzhu to the Queen's Palace?"
Aunt Xi did not hesitate at all and said: "Go back to the Emperor, it was sent by this old slave."
"Did Princess Chu ask you to send it?" Emperor Ming Yuan asked again.
Aunt Xi nodded, "Yes!"
Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes swept across Yuan Qingling's face coldly, and then asked: "What did Princess Chu want you to convey to her?"
Aunt Bao's expression changed immediately.
Aunt Xi said: "The princess said that she has two strings of southern pearls, but the queen does not. She should give one to the queen as a filial piety."
"What about other than that?"
Aunt Xi shook her head, "Nothing else."
When Eunuch Mu Ru heard this, he said, "Mom, think about it carefully. Do you want to tell me that you can also convey the Queen's kind words to the King of Chu in front of the Emperor?"
Aunt Xi shook her head, "I never said that."
Emperor Ming Yuan looked slightly cold, "Queen?"
Queen Chu was startled and said: "I never mentioned that I wanted my concubine to speak for the King of Chu!"
Emperor Ming Yuan laughed coldly, "Really? I must have heard wrong, right? Yu Bao?"
Aunt Bao knelt down with a bang, her face turned pale, and she trembled a few times and said: "Go back to the emperor, slave... I may have heard wrong."
