The queen breathed a sigh of relief. What she was afraid of was that Lao Qi would be accused of doting on a concubine and killing his wife. If he was found guilty of this crime and really wanted to go to the palace to discuss the crime, it would be a self-destructive future.
Therefore, she didn't care whether it was true or not, and quickly said: "If the marriage has not been consummated, how can you say that you spoiled your concubine and killed your wife? It would be ridiculous if this word spread."
The Queen Mother was not confused. Looking at Chu Mingcui's face, she knew that what the Queen Mother said was true.
However, she was not confused, but she was confused. If it weren't for the concubine, then why did King Qi want to reconcile?
Could it be that what Concubine Yuan said is true? Is the relationship between her and the King of Chu really unclear?
The old lady's face immediately fell. Due to the Queen Mother's presence, she couldn't say anything, so she had to hold back her tone for now.
The Queen Mother did not give face to the old lady, and said calmly: "Old madam, I want to ask you, this wife has committed suicide and seriously injured her husband because of trivial matters. She is unrepentant and the evil person is the first to complain. If this kind of person comes to you,
How should I deal with it in my mansion?"
The old lady is really losing her face, but there is no way to refute it. Prince Qi and his wife were so good at that time, how long has it been since the concubine became a concubine? And the marriage is not even completed, so there is no way she can insist on saying that she spoiled her concubine and killed her wife.
of.
She could only say bitterly: "The Queen Mother, I am so confused that I entered the palace without asking clearly and disturbed the Queen Mother and the Queen. However, it is common for young couples to quarrel. No matter what, it should not be done.
He who divorces his wife easily."
"It's Heli," the Queen Mother immediately corrected, with a cold expression, "The royal family is important, but the royal bloodline cannot be lost. King Qi is the emperor's legitimate son. If there is a conflict between the couple over trivial matters, they will have to use knives or weapons.
, I can’t bear it even with my iron body.”
She turned to look at the queen, "Your daughter-in-law is also your niece. It's up to you to handle this matter. No matter how important your future is, your life must be saved. The government has already come to take revenge. One stab in the abdomen and one in the chest.
, if the force is stronger, this life will not be saved. It is up to you to decide whether it is your niece or your son who is more important."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she stood up and left.
The queen didn't expect the injury to be so serious. She thought she was just pricked with a hairpin and would bleed a little, but it turned out that she almost died.
The empress, who loved her son so much, slapped Chu Mingcui on the face. She was so angry that her whole body trembled, "If anything happens to Lao Qi, I will cut you into pieces even if it's not enough."
With this slap, Chu Mingcui knew that her hope of entering the palace was completely lost.
This matter can no longer be saved.
She shed her tears, stood up slowly, raised her cold and mocking lips, and said coldly: "Don't worry, Queen, if he dies, I will bury him with him."
At this moment, she was really despairing.
The queen's expression changed drastically, and she said angrily: "Come here, give me a slap in the face!"
The old lady was originally not happy with the queen hitting someone, but when she heard Chu Mingcui say this, she was startled and looked at her in disbelief. The queen asked someone to slap her, but she remained silent.
The aunt beside the queen stepped forward, rounded her hands, and slapped Chu Mingcui on the face.
Chu Mingcui fell to the ground. It was just a slap, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
She sneered and stared at the queen, full of resentment and no need to hide it anymore, "It was you who deceived me at the beginning, saying that my grandfather would definitely support making him the prince, but my grandfather never said that. What you call
You only wanted to get my grandfather's support. You are so poisonous and you have harmed me and... I will never forgive you in this life."
After hearing these words, the old lady felt really shameless to sit here. Only at this moment did she understand that the reason why everyone respects and awes her and comes to her for everything, no matter how big or small, is because she is really confused and easy to deceive. Today,
Chu Mingcui came to see her, and when he told her about this, she believed him without even asking, and took her into the palace angrily.
She stood up and left without even saying a word.
The queen's face was full of anger and she said sternly: "Someone, please send her out of the palace. She is not allowed to step into the imperial city without my permission."
Chu Mingcui said coldly: "I can leave by myself."
She turned around coldly and arrogantly, and walked out with an arrogant attitude, but she knew that all the support behind her was collapsing.
She was completely left alone.
Where will she go?
Behind her, coldness swept over her. She was trembling all over, and her dream was shattered. What was the point of living for her?
But how could she be willing to die like this?
The queen was so angry that her brain ached. After Chu Mingcui left, she lost her temper. Only then did she remember that her son was still injured, so she quickly asked someone to come out of the palace to see him.
Over there, Yu Wenhao and King Qi entered the palace according to the order.
Yu Wenhao didn't know what was going on, so he took advantage of the situation and entered the palace.
When we arrived at the palace gate, King Qi's carriage just happened to arrive.
The King of Qi was lying inside. When he saw this, he couldn't help being frightened. He thought he had been assassinated, so he quickly asked why.
Hearing that he was stabbed by Chu Mingcui, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Then, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Old Yuan was right to call Dr. Cao over."
Seeing the sadness on King Qi's face, he realized that he had made a mistake and said, "It's already dark, and horses are not allowed in the palace. You can't walk either. Please ask someone to carry the carriage out."
Eunuch Mu Ru, who was waiting at the gate of the palace, said helplessly: "The emperor has a decree not to give the King of Qi a father-in-law."
King Qi almost cried, "Father must be very angry."
"Yes, the Madam of the Chu family and Princess Qi have already gone to the palace to file a complaint. They said to King Qi that you spoiled your concubine and destroyed your wife, so Princess Qi would hurt you in a rage. Your Majesty, please take this opportunity to think about it.
How to explain it?" Eunuch Mu Ru reminded.
The light in King Qi's narrow eyes extinguished inch by inch, "She said that?"
"Yes." Mu Rugong said impartially.
King Qi looked at Yu Wenhao and actually laughed, but there was bitterness in his eyes, "Fifth brother, what do you think of my look? Why did you like her in the first place?"
Yu Wenhao helped him down, "Let's go. Since you are not allowed to sit on the saddle, I will help you in."
Since it was already dark, apart from the two brothers, the only one who could enter the palace was Eunuch Mu Ru. Eunuch Mu Ru followed them holding a lantern.
"Fifth brother," King Qi's whole body weight almost rested on Yu Wenhao, "Tell me the truth, have you seen her clearly?"
Yu Wenhao walked slowly, his eyes focused, "It's still not early enough."
If he had seen it clearly earlier, maybe, forget it, it would have been better if he had not recognized it clearly at the beginning. What he thought was the most humiliating incident at the Princess Mansion has now become his great luck.
"Will Father believe me?" King Qi was now worried about this matter.
"Don't worry, if you want to make a decision, I'll do it for you." Yu Wenhao felt that he had harmed his younger brother. Feeling guilty, he forced himself to stand up.
King Qi walked slowly and gasped, "You have to take my place. I'm afraid of the pain. I can't bear the pain. It hurts to death now. This woman is too cruel."
Yu Wenhao comforted him: "Don't worry, my brother will take any punishment on your behalf."
King Qi took a step forward and let out a sigh. He has never suffered such a crime in his life.
When he was first stabbed, he was completely stunned. He never thought in his wildest dreams that a person he treated with all his heart and soul would be so cruel.
Of course, he never expected that she would enter the palace first and the evildoers would file a complaint first!
