Yun Jingchu was like a confused child, with just the right amount of confusion on his face, standing aside with his head bowed. Bi Ling, Bi He, Qing Qing, Aunt Liu and Aunt Xu had different expressions, and they all held their breath.
, standing behind her with bowed head.
Yun Xiyao stood opposite her, her face was pale, her figure was shaky, and she looked like she might faint at any moment. Behind her, two old ladies and four little maids stood with their heads lowered tremblingly, not even daring to raise their heads.
out.
In this solemn atmosphere that was almost overwhelming, Concubine Yuwen finally arrived, followed by four little palace ladies.
Concubine Yuwen had a little weird look in her eyes. After scanning everyone, she saluted Dongfang Chen Yingying: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
The four little maids behind her also knelt down and said, "Slave, please see your Majesty."
Dongfang Chen raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Yuwen with a little scrutiny for a moment, and then said calmly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Yuwen and the four maids slowly stood up and stood aside with their heads bowed.
Dongfang Chen frowned and said coldly: "Noble Concubine, I ask you, did you prepare Miss Yun Wu's bedding?"
Concubine Yuwen's expression changed, and then she nodded without hesitation, "As far as the emperor is concerned, yes. Because the empress is in confinement, she asked me to help. Yesterday afternoon, I asked my servant to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick it up, and then sent it to
Fengxiang Palace."
Dongfang Chen's voice suddenly turned cold, "Then do you know there are blood-sucking insects in the quilt?"
Concubine Yuwen's face turned as white as snow, and she said with a look of fear: "I heard from Xiao Guizi on the way here, and I never thought that something like this would happen. I clearly ordered Mingyue to prepare this for Miss Yun Wu.
Yes, you can’t be careless, you have to check it carefully and make sure it’s correct before sending it to the Queen.”
"Who is Mingyue? Come forward and answer!" Dongfang Chen said sharply.
As soon as Dongfang Chen finished speaking, a maid in pink clothes behind Concubine Yuwen shook for a moment, then moved forward slightly, slowly knelt on the ground, and then replied tremblingly: "I am the bright moon."
"Let me ask you, did you check that the quilt was correct and then sent it to the Queen?" Dongfang Chen said with a dull gaze, staring closely at Mingyue's hair.
"I'm reporting to the Emperor that it was sent by my slave. Yesterday afternoon, I followed the order of my empress and went to the House of Internal Affairs to get a new bedding. Eunuch Liu and Miss Lu Ping of the House of Internal Affairs handed the quilt to my servant with my own hands. The quilt belongs to my empress Jin Zun.
He was ordered to check repeatedly, including disassembling a thread and checking the cotton inside. After confirming that everything was fine, he sent it to Fengxiang Palace and handed it to Sister Binling beside the Queen. After having Sister Binling check it, the servant went back to report to the Queen.
Come back." Although the palace maid named Mingyue was a little timid, she answered quickly.
"Have Eunuch Liu and Lu Ping from the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrived?" Dongfang Chen looked at An Fuhai coldly.
An Fuhai hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Back to the emperor, we have arrived and are waiting outside."
"Pass!" Dongfang Chen's voice became colder and colder.
Soon, a young eunuch and a little maid in green came in.
"Slave Liu Quan (slave Lu Ping) comes to see the Emperor." As soon as the two came in, they knelt down and saluted timidly.
"Yesterday, you personally handed the quilt to Mingyue?" Dongfang Chen asked coldly.
Eunuch Liu leaned forward and said, "When I return to the emperor, I told Lu Ping to take the bedding and give it to Miss Mingyue."
"My slave gave it to Miss Mingyue herself." Lu Ping agreed from the side.
"Then did you know that there were blood-sucking insects in that quilt?" Dongfang Chen suddenly became cold and stern.
Liu Quan and Lu Ping trembled at the same time. Liu Quan immediately kowtowed heavily on the ground: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Yesterday, before Miss Mingyue took it away, she checked it in front of me and Lu Ping. There is indeed nothing wrong with it."
"
"Oh?" Dongfang Chen raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Yun Xiyao, his eyes cold and stern, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
