The fifth princess cried and said: "Because of Qin Junyan's incident, the entire Qin family has been locked up.
My mother-in-law felt that Qin Hengyuan was no longer the best candidate for my consort, and she was afraid that I would be wronged if I married him, so she said she would help me choose another one."
Mu Yun'an had already guessed that this matter might have been the work of Concubine Ming, and it turned out to be true.
She asked again: "How did Concubine Ming know that Mr. Wen would enter the palace today?"
The fifth princess said: "The mother-in-law has spies in the palace. She heard that Lord Wen and Prince Xuan entered the palace today and went to the imperial garden, so she dismissed the guards of the imperial garden and caused an accident.
She said that both Prince Xuan and Lord Wen are the new nobles of the court, and whoever they marry will be a good match, so I will jump into the lake."
Xiao Yunchu looked on and was a little stunned. Although her fifth sister was not very smart in the palace, she was not stupid either.
Why did she reveal what Concubine Ming did so easily today?
This is simply incredible.
Mu Yun'an then asked: "What about you? What do you think? Don't you have your own opinion?"
"I?"
The fifth princess looked a little confused. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. The mother-in-law said that there is nothing wrong with listening to her."
Mu Yun'an was speechless when he heard this. It seemed that the fifth princess had been raised by Concubine Ming and had no independent opinion. She was also a pitiful one.
She sighed and said: "You are tired, please rest first."
The fifth princess nodded, lay down on the bed obediently, and fell asleep soon.
Xiao Yunchu asked in shock: "How did you do it?"
Mu Yun'an made a gesture of silence, and then walked out of the room with Xiao Yunchu.
Outside, Xiao Chongjun, Concubine Ming, Xiao Chengyi and others were all there.
Mu Yun'an walked over and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the fifth princess falling into the lake has been investigated clearly.
The truth of the matter is that the fifth princess fell into the lake at the instigation of Concubine Ming, and deliberately fell into the water to attract Prince Xuan and Master Wen to rescue her.
I want to excuse the marriage between the fifth princess and General Qin on the grounds that a woman has lost her virginity, and promise the fifth princess to Mr. Wen."
After hearing this, Concubine Ming's face changed and she quickly denied, "You're talking nonsense."
She knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. She must have used some magic to make Qing'er say those words. I am Qing'er's mother-in-law, how could I harm her?"
"
Mu Yun'an said: "Concubine Ming did not want to harm the fifth princess, you just wanted to find a good marriage for her.
You think the Qin family has declined, and you think the fifth princess will be ruined by marrying General Qin.
So I couldn't wait to find another husband for the fifth princess, so I set my sights on Prince Xuan and Master Wen.
I can understand Concubine Ming’s intention in doing this. As a mother, she naturally hopes that her daughter will marry well, but is a calculated marriage really a good marriage?
I don’t know what kind of thoughts you have instilled in the fifth princess on weekdays? So much so that she listens to you on everything and doesn’t even have her own opinions. What’s the difference between her and the walking dead?"
When Concubine Ming heard this, she angrily yelled, "What do you know? I'm doing this for her own good!"
Mu Yun'an snorted coldly: "Is your Majesty admitting it?"
Concubine Ming knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, I only have a daughter like Qing'er.
