Chapter 509 The Queen Invites You to Tea

As soon as Jun Moxu came out of Taiji Hall, he saw the eunuch beside the queen.

"Your Highness, the Queen invites you over."

Jun Moxu nodded somewhat dejectedly, then walked towards the Queen's palace. He was in a low mood and couldn't figure out why it suddenly became like this.

She was just a woman. If she died, she died. Why would she be confined to her room?

And why didn’t I realize that I was sick, but Chu Liangyuan discovered it first? I always felt that there was a big net behind me, a big net targeting me.

He came to the queen's palace absent-mindedly.

"Your son pays his respects to the Queen Mother."

The queen spoke with a unhappy expression.

"Get up, Prince. What on earth is going on? Why would a concubine from your mansion commit suicide in the street? Even if you wanted to kill her, you could just bring her back to the Prince's mansion and deal with her quietly. Now that the whole city is in turmoil, how are you going to end this?"

Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu bowed his head and spoke with a guilty look on his face.

"It's my fault. I've caused you, Your Majesty, to worry again. Please listen to my explanation. I was indeed planning to take Chu Liangyuan back to the Crown Prince's Mansion to execute her. We did have an argument in the carriage, but I didn't actually kill her. When I was passing Yue Manting, I suddenly encountered a broken carriage, so I stopped in front of Yue Manting. Who knew that bitch would roll out of the carriage and start babbling nonsense..."

The queen's face darkened even more when she heard this.

"Why is your Liangyuan not staying in the Prince's Mansion? How does she manage the Prince's Mansion, Princess? She can't even manage a concubine properly."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu told the story of how Su Hanchu went to the Prince's Mansion, was bumped by Chu Liangyuan, and then took Chu Liangyuan away.

The more the queen listened, the uglier her expression became. After the prince finished speaking, she threw all the teacups on the table to the ground.

With a "pop" sound, the teacup broke into pieces, and the water in the cup splashed to the prince's feet.

"What a great Su Hanchu..."

Jun Moxu took a step back.

"Please calm down, mother. Don't let your son's affairs make you sick."

The queen spoke angrily.

"You're truly smart all your life, but you're just confused for a moment. Haven't you figured it out yet? This has all been Su Hanchu's doing from the beginning. I'm afraid your Liang Yuan has already been bribed by her."

Jun Moxu frowned and spoke when he heard this.

"It's not that I haven't had my suspicions, but there's no reason for her to do that. Besides, Chu Liangyuan has never left the Crown Prince's Mansion before, so there's no chance she could be bribed by Su Hanchu, right?"

Upon hearing this, the queen glanced at Jun Moxu.

"Don't underestimate a woman's methods. It's difficult for me to investigate in the palace. When you go back today, investigate thoroughly. Your Liang Yuan's family must have had sufficient interests to allow her to commit suicide in the street. Her family is the beneficiary. As long as you find Liang Yuan's family and let them accuse Su Hanchu of bribing Liang Yuan to slander you, you can prove your innocence."

Upon hearing this, Jun Moxu thought of what the Crown Princess had said to him last night, and combined with what his mother said today, he began to doubt. He had always thought that even if someone was involved in this matter, it would be Jun Moye. Now it seems very likely that Su Hanchu was also involved, and her claim of wanting the position of Crown Princess was just her excuse.

"Yes, I will have someone investigate when I get back."

The queen looked at the prince, and couldn't help but raise her hand to press her solar plexus with a headache.

"Such a big thing, what did your father say today?"

Jun Moxu pursed his lips and spoke after hearing this.

"My father has handed this matter over to the Supreme Court Minister for investigation, and has ordered... ordered me to reflect on my mistakes in front of a wall in the Crown Prince's residence until the truth of the case is revealed."

The queen stood up suddenly when she heard this.

"What did you say?"

Jun Moxu knelt down hurriedly.

"It is my son who is useless."

The queen slapped the table in anger.

"You are indeed useless. You are the crown prince under house arrest. Isn't this a slap in your face? What's wrong with you lately? You actually made your father so angry."

Jun Moxu just felt that he had a lot of grievances to share, so he had to say nice things.

"Please calm down, mother. This is all my fault. If you are angry, please punish me. Don't let your anger harm yourself."

The queen looked at Jun Moxu who was kneeling on the ground and spoke in a cold voice.

"I'm afraid your father didn't confine you because of your reputation. It was just the death of a good woman. Even if it was a bit unpleasant, he wouldn't confine you. I'm afraid it's because of your..."

Then he sighed.

"Forget it. Get up and go to the side hall to take your medicine. The imperial physician has already brought it."

Jun Moxu stood up and bowed after hearing this.

"Yes, I will take my leave..."

After Jun Moxu left, Nanny Su signaled the palace maid to clean up the things on the floor, and she poured another cup of tea for the queen and handed it to her.

"Your Majesty, have some tea first. Since you already have someone under suspicion, there must be a way to deal with him. You have been here for so many years, you must have seen all kinds of women with tricks, not to mention Su Hanchu."

The Queen took the teacup.

"She's no ordinary woman. Even the tricks used by the harem are useless to her. The people from the Prince of Qin's Palace went to the northwest for a few years, and upon their return, they turned the imperial city upside down. This shows how capable these two are..."

Nanny Su spoke upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

The queen glanced at her when she heard this.

"You have been by my side for many years. Just say whatever you want to say."

Nanny Su then spoke.

"Currently, the signs of suspicion are all moving towards City Lord Su. If they intend to murder the crown prince of Tianyuan, the emperor should take care of this matter, right?"

The queen drank her tea and thought for a moment after hearing this.

"Tomorrow you will go to the Bai residence in person and invite City Lord Su to the palace for tea."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Su leaned forward and said.

"yes."

Early the next morning.

Su Hanchu and Jun Moye were having breakfast.

Caiyue came over and saluted.

"City Lord, Young Master, Nanny Su from the Queen's side has arrived. She wants to invite you to the palace for tea."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu looked at Jun Moye.

It came as expected.

This queen is not simple.

Su Hanchu picked up the food calmly.

"Let Madam Su wait for a moment. I will change my clothes and go into the palace with her."

Caiyue leaned forward and said after hearing this.

"yes."

Jun Moye spoke slowly.

"Chuchu, the queen is not a simple person. When that prince was still the crown prince, the queen made a lot of efforts. That's why Jun Moxu became the crown prince as soon as he ascended the throne. The Hua family is also an aristocratic family that has stood for a hundred years. We must be more careful about her. Otherwise, I will go to the palace with you."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu smiled and spoke soothingly.

"Don't worry, it's just a queen. I can handle it. Besides, Zhizhi and I were supposed to go to the palace to pay our respects to the Queen Mother today."

Jun Moye was still a little worried after hearing this.

“Chu Chu…”

Su Hanchu looked up at him and spoke.

"Don't worry, I promise not a single hair will be lost. Besides, you are a frail patient now, so you shouldn't be exposed to the wind. Just rest at home."
