Yu Wentian waved his hands hurriedly, "No, I don't mean that."
The aunt in charge said: "Then please hand it over to Prince Shun. The empress said that as long as the prince is willing to hand it back, he can pretend that nothing happened and will not bring trouble to the emperor."
Yu Wentian was naturally unwilling. He knew that once the things were returned, it would break Brother Bago's heart, and it would be difficult for the brothers to return to the way they were before.
Therefore, he begged the aunt in charge: "Please go back to my mother and say that these items are of great significance to me, and please allow me to keep them."
"no!"
The aunt in charge refused firmly, "Your Majesty, it's better not to embarrass this servant. I am also following orders. The queen has an order to get back the eighth prince's lost beloved items. The eighth prince has already made a big fuss in the palace. If he doesn't get it back, he won't be able to get it back."
I know what trouble will happen, but if the prince truly loves the eighth prince, please return it."
"That was indeed given to me by Bago. Unless Bago asks me personally, I won't give it to anyone."
Yu Wentian refused to return it life and death, and after spending some time in the army, he became a little angry.
The aunt in charge raised her eyes faintly, flashing a look of surprise, and then laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, "Does the prince think that in the palace of Prince Chu, he will not listen to the Queen's words?"
"That's what I'm saying anyway. Just go back and report to your mother."
Yu Wentian said coldly.
The aunt in charge laughed twice and said: "Since the prince has disobeyed the queen's decree, please ask the people from the Chu palace to lead the way and let the imperial army search the courtyard where Prince Shun lives, so that we can go back and deliver the mission."
Tang Yang looked on, feeling a little embarrassed.
Because this aunt mentioned the Queen's decree, how could they, as ministers, disobey the Queen's decree?
However, if you just ask them to search the mansion, you will not only lose the face of Prince Chu's palace, but also embarrass Prince Shun.
Unfortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince is not here. There is no master in the house, so I can't talk.
The aunt in charge looked at Tang Yang, "Huh?
what happened?
Is it so difficult?
Is there anyone in the Chu Palace who dares to disobey the Queen?"
This statement of the Queen's decree really embarrassed Tang Yang. Tang Yang bowed and said: "Auntie, the Queen has a decree. Normally we ministers should not stop her. However, the Crown Princess is sick and is resting in the backyard.
, if I search the house, I'm afraid it will disturb her."
The aunt in charge laughed again, "Yo?
Prince Shun shouldn't live in the same house as the Crown Princess, right?
How could searching Prince Shun's guest room still alert the Crown Princess?
It is said that the prince is arrogant and domineering after his meritorious service, but it seems that this is indeed the case, even a servant in the palace dares to disobey the queen's decree."
"The queen has a decree, please bring her out!"
A cool voice sounded outside the door, and then, supported by Ah Si and Man'er, a white figure slowly walked in, followed by Grandma Xi.
As soon as Tang Yang raised his head, his eyes were filled with joy, and his voice choked up, "Crown Princess!"
"Fifth sister-in-law!"
There was also ecstasy in Yu Wentian's eyes.
Yuan Qingling took a slight breath, and nodded slightly to Tang Yang and Yu Wentian after standing still. She looked extremely weak, and her loose clothes covered her bulging abdomen, making it very difficult to move.
Ah Si and Man'er helped her sit down, with tears of surprise still on their faces, and stood together.
The aunt in charge was a little surprised. Didn't she say that the Crown Princess was in a coma?
Why did you wake up?
"Are you from the Queen's Palace?"
Yuan Qingling looked at her and asked.
The aunt in charge came forward and said, "I have met the Crown Princess!"
Aunt Xi had a cold expression on her face and said sternly: "Kneel down!"
The steward's aunt was startled and said calmly: "This is not the palace of the empress, so there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony. Moreover, the servant is from the queen's palace and is a second-rank steward."
Aunt Xi said angrily: "A slave is a slave, what kind of rank can you say in front of the master?
Could it be that when you come to the Holy Sage, you have to tell me how high you are before you salute?"
The aunt in charge heard that she was carrying the emperor out. Although she was reluctant, she had to kneel down and said, "Slave, please see the Crown Princess!"
Yuan Qing was annoyed that she was so arrogant just now. Although she didn't like to ask people to kneel down frequently, she still followed the example of her grandma and asked, "You just said that you want to search the Prince of Chu's palace?"
The aunt in charge heard Yuan Qingling's gentle tone and said: "Crown Princess, this servant is following the Queen's decree."
"Where's Yizhi?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
"This... is an oral message!"
"How do I know you are not pretending to preach?"
Yuan Qingling said calmly.
The aunt in charge raised her head and said: "There is evidence from the imperial guards. They all heard it."
Several imperial troops came out, "The Crown Princess, the ministers, etc. all heard the empress's instructions and indeed asked Prince Shun to return the items stolen from the Eighth Prince."
"What did you steal from me?"
Yuan Qing Ling asked Yu Wentian.
Yu Wentian said aggrievedly: "Fifth sister-in-law, my brother didn't steal it, it was Brother Ba who gave it to me."
Yuan Qingling smiled, gave him a comforting look, and then looked at the lady in charge, "The Queen asked him to return the things he stole from the Eighth Prince, but he has never stolen anything from the Eighth Prince. Xu is the Queen.
You were deceived, and as for searching the Prince of Chu's palace..." Yuan Qingling's face suddenly turned cold, and she said sternly: "Who gave you such courage to search the prince's palace?
The Queen is dignified and sensible, and she would never ask you to do such a thing that would humiliate the Prince. Whose idea was it?
Recruit me honestly, otherwise I will never let you go lightly!"
The girl in charge didn't expect Yuan Qingling's sudden change of expression. She hesitated for a moment, "Well...this lady didn't mean to search Prince Chu's palace, she wanted Prince Shun to hand it back to him..." Yuan Qingling interrupted her, "Just now, I'm following you.
The prince said that he has not stolen anything, just follow his words and report it to the queen."
"Whether he steals it or not, he can't let Prince Shun have the final say!"
The aunt in charge was unwilling to accept it and retorted.
Aunt Xi sneered, "Prince Shun doesn't have the final say, but you have the final say?
What do you think you are?"
The aunt in charge said with a cold face, "I don't think I am anything. I am a member of the Queen's Palace, so I will naturally obey my master's instructions."
"Are you a slave in the Queen's Palace, Prince Shun, or the Emperor's son? What?
How can a servant in the Queen's Palace be more powerful than the Emperor's son?"
Man'er couldn't stand listening anymore and said coldly and sarcastically.
Ah Si heard Man'er make a sound, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and raised them in front of the aunt in charge, "Are you leaving?"
If you don’t leave, I’ll call you out!”
The aunt in charge was so frightened that she fell back and hit her head on the ground with a "thud" sound. She quickly got up. She was ashamed and angry but did not dare to get angry. She could only grit her teeth and said, "Okay, since the Crown Princess has done it
Please protect Prince Shun. If something happened to the Eighth Prince, don’t blame me for not reminding you."
After saying that, he bowed and left with great reluctance.
The imperial guards also looked at Yuan Qing, and one of them said: "Seeing that the Crown Princess is doing well, the ministers and others are overjoyed. Take care of the Crown Princess, and the ministers will leave!"
