Chapter 407 The Queen's Attack
"Your Majesty, I am worried about Chaohua."
"I beg Your Majesty to let me see my poor child."
As the queen spoke, she covered her face with a silk scarf, and her tone was tinged with a hint of grievance.
"I know that in front of His Majesty, I am not as virtuous as Concubine Hui.
But Chaohua is my daughter. Your Majesty would rather believe what outsiders say about me abusing Chaohua than believe that I am innocent."
The queen resented the emperor in her heart.
When she was young, she had feelings for the emperor. At that time, she and the bitch Concubine Hui were known as the two beauties in the capital.
At the same time, she loves the emperor who is the prince.
But the emperor only had eyes for that bitch Concubine Hui, not her.
It was she who plotted to make the emperor climb into his bed, and then she got pregnant and married into the Eastern Palace.
She thought she had won, but on the wedding day, the emperor took the bitch Concubine Hui as his concubine.
The three of them got married together!
Moreover, she spent her wedding night in that bitch's room, making her a laughing stock in Kyoto.
The more the queen thought about it, the more resentful she became, and the more she wished she could overthrow this unfaithful man from the throne and support the three princes who wholeheartedly loved her to take the throne.
Sooner or later, I will make those who have let me down kneel before me and beg for mercy.
The queen glanced at Pang Qingyun.
What happened to your brother today? Hurry up and say a few words for her.
Pang Qingyun caught the Queen's gaze.
A feeling of resentment was stuck in my heart.
In the past, he would have gone against the emperor's displeasure and said a few words for his sister.
Now that he knows the true face of this fake, it's a good thing he doesn't add insult to injury.
She also expected him to plead for her.
Pang Qingyun thought of the times when he had interceded for counterfeit goods. His eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said to the old emperor:
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The queen wiped the tears from her face with satisfaction.
She waited quietly for her brother to say a few good words for her.
Although she now strongly denies that she has not abused Chaohua, she cannot resist closer scrutiny.
Those guarding Chaohua are all her people. Even if she doesn't admit it, the emperor has plenty of ways to make her admit it.
At this critical juncture, she must not let the emperor restrict her freedom.
The old emperor glared at Pang Qingyun one after another.
This idiot is more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else.
He once again spoke up to plead for this vicious woman.
If it weren't for his loyalty to me, I really would have wanted to kill him!
Pang Qingyun wanted to cry but had no tears.
In the study, he did not have time to tell the emperor that the queen was not a daughter of the Pang family. Not only would he not help the queen in the future, he would also take revenge on her.
Now the emperor must think that he is going to plead for the fake one again.
The knife in his eyes seemed to be solidifying into a solid object and cutting into his flesh.
Woohoo...I want to cry!
The old emperor looked at Pang Qingyun with gritted teeth and continued to speak a word through his teeth.
"explain!"
It's full of threats. If he dares to fart, I will give him a beating to make his pig brain wake up!
Shen Zhao shed a tear of sympathy for Pang Qingyun.
It's really pitiful, being stuck in the middle and feeling like a nobody.
Facing the emperor's gaze that seemed to want to eat him, Pang Qingyun said:
"Since the Empress claims she was wrongly accused and did not mistreat the Sixth Princess, why doesn't Your Majesty investigate this?"
The queen frowned slightly. Is her brother really speaking up for her? Not trying to harm her?
Or did her brother think that she was really wronged and that Chaohua was not abused by her!
The old emperor's eyes also flashed. What was this old thief Pang planning? He actually asked me to investigate.
There are both witnesses and evidence. As long as we investigate carefully, we will definitely find out the truth.
I was a little worried just now. I couldn't let the Queen and the forces behind her know about it.
There is no need to worry now, after all, it was Pang Qingyun who said this verification.
Who is Pang Qingyun? He is the vicious woman's biological brother.
No one would suspect him.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
He knows what's good for him. I'll remember this beating and beat him again when he gets confused again!
The queen suddenly looked at Pang Qingyun.
Brother, what is he going to do?
Could it be that he discovered something?
How could this be!
Over the years, Pang Qingyun has always been the most loyal dog under his command. He doubts that no one would doubt her!
Although she was so sure that Pang Qingyun would not harm her, in order to be on the safe side, the queen still looked at her own people.
Just as the queen was about to wink at her people, Pang Qingyun gave her a soothing look.
The queen had seen this look countless times. As long as her brother gave her this look, she would have nothing to worry about.
This is because her brother has arranged everything for her.
Could it be that her brother had solved all her problems while she was on her way here?
But the palace maids and nannies who are looking after the bastards are still there!
The queen was puzzled for a moment.
Pang Qingyun noticed the Queen's hesitation and immediately added:
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess is in imminent danger. To clear the Empress's name, please allow her to visit the Sixth Princess as soon as possible. Your Majesty, please immediately investigate these people and find out the truth."
As soon as Pang Qingyun said this, the queen stopped hesitating.
Pang Qingyun is her good brother. He has always obeyed her in everything since she was a child. How could he harm her?
The old emperor glared and decided to give him a beating.
"Drag these people out and torture them. Stop when they confess."
As the old emperor finished speaking, a hint of ridicule appeared on the queen's lips.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, all you know is beating people, what else can you do?
Even if I beat these people to death, they wouldn't dare betray me. After all, I'm not only holding their lives, but also their loved ones...
"If they refuse to confess even after being beaten to death, their entire clan will be exterminated, and their families will be informed of who implicated them."
The corners of the queen's mouth, which were still raised, suddenly froze.
The palace maids and nannies who were still desperately begging for mercy also froze in an instant.
Kill all nine clans! Tell their relatives that they died because of her.
No!
no!
"Drag them out and beat them for me!" The old emperor gave an order, and the guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the maids and palace maids out.
"Your Majesty, Chaohua is devoted to Buddhism, and she is in danger now. If Your Majesty kills these people, it will be a sin for Chaohua."
The queen immediately begged for mercy for these people, and all her excuses were for the sake of the Sixth Princess.
"Your Majesty, you are solely responsible for your own actions. If they do something wrong, why do you implicate their families?"
"Zhao Hua normally wouldn't even dare to step on an ant. If she had executed so many people, even if Zhao Hua woke up, he would be bedridden for a long time out of guilt."
"I beg Your Majesty to punish them for Chaohua's sake, so that their crimes will not be punished by their families."
The queen looked at Pang Qingyun and said, "Brother, as Chaohua's uncle and the Grand Tutor of Southern Chu, please advise the emperor to spare those innocent people."
The palace maids and nannies who were dragged out also begged for mercy desperately.
"I beg the Emperor to spare me and my people. I deserve to die."
At this time, Pang Qingyun took two steps forward and spoke under the queen's expectant gaze.
