Grandma knelt down and held her hand to prevent her from hurting herself if she got too excited.
"The prince was taken to the darkroom by the emperor." Auntie Xi said.
Yuan Qingling looked at her, "Oh."
What's so exciting about this?
When he goes to the darkroom, he is not afraid of the dark.
Aunt Xi felt that the princess was becoming more and more calm now when things happened, so she continued: "So, princess, you must try to save the eighth prince. Now the only way to clear the prince's innocence is because he is the only witness."
Yuan Qingling heard the smell and grabbed her grandma's hand, "What do you mean? Where is the darkroom? What happened to him?"
Aunt Xi said: "The darkroom is a place in the palace where palace attendants who have committed crimes are temporarily detained."
"What happened to him?" Yuan Qingling became nervous, "Why did my father imprison him in the darkroom?"
Aunt Xi shook her head, "I don't know that I will find a way to go to Deshang Palace to inquire. However, Deshang Palace is now banned. I'm afraid I won't be able to get in, so I have to think of a way."
"What does this matter have to do with Deshang Palace?" Yuan Qing Ling was confused. Her mother-in-law was talking nonsense, and she didn't know what happened.
Mammy said: "Today, the prince ordered the old slave to go to Deshang Palace and ask Concubine De to interrogate Concubine Su..."
"Wait a minute, who is Concubine Su? Why are you interrogating Concubine Su? Does Su Concubine have anything to do with Lao Wu being imprisoned in the darkroom? Does it have anything to do with the Eighth Prince? Who is the only witness? Is it Gu Si's case? Gu Si
Admit it?" Yuan Qingling was really confused. She didn't know what was happening outside after entering the palace.
Grandma was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the princess didn't know anything yet, and the prince probably hadn't had a chance to tell her about the case.
She stood up and said: "You rest first, I will go out and try to see if I can enter Deshang Palace."
Yuan Qingling stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
"I'm afraid if it's not good, the emperor may not let you leave the Qinghua Palace."
"Then don't tell him." Yuan Qingling walked out minding her own business.
Mammy chased after her, "It's just that there are people in Deshang Palace watching, there is no order from the emperor..."
"I have a royal staff." Yuan Qingling left without looking back.
"..." Yes, the royal staff is very useful. The Supreme Emperor is really foresighted and always has the magic weapon he gives at the most timely moment.
Yuan Qingling took her mother all the way to Deshang Palace.
There was a guard handle at the door. Yuan Qingling took out his royal staff and flashed it, "In the name of the Supreme Emperor, I want to go in and ask questions."
The Imperial Guard recognized Yuan Qingling and Grandma Xi, and saw the Emperor's seal on the royal staff, so they quickly backed away, "Princess, please!"
The two of them walked in, and the maid in charge of Deshang Palace saw the two coming and hurriedly welcomed them in.
Concubine Su was still kneeling in the main hall. When Yuan Qingling and Grandma Xi passed by the main hall, her back was turned to the door. However, because of the panic in her heart, she heard the footsteps and glanced back subconsciously.
Seeing Aunt Xi and Yuan Qingling, she lowered her eyes.
Aunt Xi and Yuan Qingling also glanced at her and followed the aunt in charge.
Concubine De had just applied medicated oil, and there was a smell of medicated oil in the palace. When she saw Yuan Qing Ling coming, she held Yuan Qing Ling's hand apologetically and sighed: "Princess, it was me who harmed Lao Wu.
He did bad things with good intentions."
Yuan Qingling was not very familiar with Concubine De, but when she saw her like this, she couldn't help but said, "My dear, please don't worry. What happened?"
After Concubine De asked her to sit down, she asked Aunt Xi to speak the first half, and Aunt Xi told her everything Gu Si said.
After finishing speaking, he also emphasized, "Gu Si has misunderstood. The person who is having sex with Su Bin must not be the prince. Gu Si also knows that he has made a mistake."
After Yuan Qingling heard this, it was really hard to believe that Gu Si, a pig-headed man, could be so blind, "Gu Si actually thought that Lao Wu and Su Concubine were stealing love? Su Concubine was the woman outside just now, right? Lao Wu couldn't see it.
Fuck her."
Concubine De and Mammy were both stunned for a moment. This answer was something they had not expected.
Then Concubine De told everything about what happened in the imperial study, saying: "Concubine Su now insists that Lao Wu forced her and used medicine on her. Although the emperor did not deal with it immediately, he also treated Lao Wu and Lao Wu.
Wu Shuhua was locked up in the darkroom."
"This concubine Su is inconsistent. At first she told Concubine De that the adulterer was Lao Wu, but later she changed her story in front of the emperor and said it was forced drugging. This is obviously a lie." Yuan Qing Ling thought for a while and said: "I don't think it is necessary.
Too worried, my father is so smart, he will definitely be able to spot the flaw."
Concubine De said: "There are flaws, but this matter is taboo and cannot be investigated with great fanfare. If the suspicion is not removed, it will be useless even if the emperor sees the flaws. What Lao Wu wants is innocence, absolute innocence."
Yuan Qingling knew that what Concubine De said was necessary. If it were not absolutely innocent, the emperor would always have a thorn in his heart.
Thinking of Concubine Su, Concubine De couldn't help but said angrily: "This concubine Su really deserves to die. I don't know how much she will suffer in the darkroom."
Aunt Xi winked quickly.
Yuan Qingling saw it and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it locked in a darkroom? What kind of punishment will it be?"
Seeing that both Aunt Xi and Concubine De were silent, Yuan Qing Ling became anxious and said, "You might as well tell the truth to save me from guessing. I am very pessimistic now and only think about the bad things."
Mammy had no choice but to tell her, "When I entered the darkroom, I couldn't help but give him a good beating first. After this beating, I'll get 30 big beatings. If I don't admit guilt the next day, I'll get another 30 big beatings."
Yuan Qingling's vision went dark and she almost fell down. Her mother-in-law quickly stretched out her hand to support her. Yuan Qingling took a deep breath and managed to steady herself. She trembled and said: "The old man is too cruel. Does he want to kill Lao Wu?"
"
She stood up and said, "No, I'm going to find my father. My child hasn't even been born yet, and he already wants his father's life?"
Aunt Xi pulled her and said, "Princess, please calm down. The emperor is furious. If you go to him, won't you make him even more angry and make the prince suffer again?"
Yuan Qingling thought of Yu Wenhao being beaten in the darkroom, and her heart ached uncomfortably, "I can't just watch him suffer, I have to find a way to get the emperor to let him out."
She also knew that rushing would not help. She sat down, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go see Concubine Su. She is lying. As long as she is lying, there must be flaws."
"But Concubine Su will insist that it was Lao Wu who insulted her, and her words will be very unpleasant. Can you bear it?" Concubine De asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, Concubine De, I can trust Lao Wu. He won't do these things." Yuan Qingling said firmly.
Concubine De looked at her strangely. This Princess of Chu used to have little contact with her, but she didn't know that she was so calm and calm.
If it were any other woman, it would be impossible for her to have such absolute trust. She would have some doubts and then seek confirmation.
And she directly said that Su Bin was lying, and she truly believed Lao Wu.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "Lao Wu has been investigating this matter. He must have an idea, so he must come out."
"But everyone is in the darkroom, what can I do?" Concubine De asked melancholy.
