The ones that Concubine Jiang's family hates the most are Gu Fenglin and Mu Yunhan. If their old men want revenge, they will definitely go to the Priest's Palace.
The emperor briefly described the case: "I have been investigating this matter these days, and the Queen Mother is also investigating it carefully, and finally found out the truth..."
He looked at Gu Fenglin and Mu Yunhan and saw that the couple were listening quietly without any strange expressions or reactions, so he felt relieved.
"This matter ultimately happened because of the Queen. She was in charge of the Sixth Palace and was suspected of dereliction of duty, which almost caused a catastrophe. Therefore, I want to punish her."
Empress Zou shed two lines of clear tears, stood up and knelt on the ground, choking with sobs and said: "I will obey your Majesty's imperial edict. I know that I have sinned, and I will not commit it again in the future."
Queen Mother Shen winked at Mu Yunhan, indicating that it was her turn.
Mu Yunhan pretended not to see it and just stared at Queen Zou with emotion on his face.
Empress Dowager Shen had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, if you know your mistake, you can do a lot to improve it. Besides, the queen just made an oversight and it is not a big mistake. I will spare her this time."
The emperor looked at Gu Fenglin and Mu Yunhan and said sternly: "The queen said it lightly, but it was just an oversight. If it causes a catastrophe, how can it shake the country?"
When Gu Fenglin saw that the heat was coming, he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. Since the Queen has admitted her mistake, let it be."
Mu Yunhan agreed.
The emperor then said: "Since everyone is interceding for the queen, let's leave it for now, but we should take this as a warning and never do it again!"
When he said this, his eyes were majestic and his tone was sonorous and full of warning.
The love between husband and wife is true, but if he wants to use it to gain power and harm the country, he will never tolerate it.
Empress Zou had been married to him for many years, but this time she suffered a big loss. She was really embarrassed and annoyed.
But he didn't dare to show it, he just lowered his head, pretending to be pitiful and regretful.
The emperor saw that she had lost a lot of weight in just a few days, and he couldn't bear it. He calmed down and said, "Queen, please go down and have a rest."
Queen Zou looked at him eagerly: "Yan'er..."
The emperor said: "Yan'er has been living with me these days. Those wet nurses are not very suitable. I need to train them."
This was like another slap in the face to Queen Zou, because she had single-handedly selected and arranged the wet nurse.
If the eldest son of the emperor does not return to the middle palace for a day, Queen Zou will not be able to sleep peacefully.
Empress Zou lowered her eyes, agreed obediently, lowered her head and retreated, being cautious in her actions and movements, no longer as domineering as before.
The emperor withdrew his gaze, personally handed the medicinal solution hidden in the glass bottle to Gu Fenglin, and said, "Have someone bring that palace servant in, and you guys can examine it?"
Gu Fenglin said: "No need, your Majesty and the Queen Mother have already reviewed it, and it is already appropriate."
Mu Yunhan nodded fiercely like a little daughter-in-law: "Exactly."
Only the emperor, empress, and queen mother know the truth.
But since Empress Zou cannot be defeated, the most important thing is to hold her nose and admit it. The most important thing is to get the liquid back and destroy it.
Empress Dowager Shen stood up with satisfaction: "In that case, you monarchs and ministers will continue to talk about business. I will take Han girl to drink tea and talk."
Mu Yunhan helped Empress Dowager Shen to go out, and then Empress Zou's incident happened. In fact, everyone was a little embarrassed.
Of course she would not mention what happened just now stupidly, she just said: "I have recently made some clearing ointment. If I apply it on my skin, I will be eighteen years younger."
