The ministers below were all confused by this sudden change. After mocking Minister Jiang, the prime minister quickly stood up and retreated to the back.
"What's going on?"
After Feng Qingqing asked this question, no one could give her an answer.
Chickens continued to fly out of the hole, but the only responses she received were the chickens and chicken droppings flying around above her head.
The queen was protected by Ling Le and walked to the side, and was not harmed.
When the ministers in front saw the prime minister stand up and run to the back, they also moved their seats.
Only Feng Qingqing above seemed to have some magical power, which attracted the chickens to fly towards her and even poop on her.
Qian Jue watched with interest, walked over to Yu Yiluo and whispered, "Look, this medicine is quite effective."
Yu Yiluo looked at Feng Qingqing and Minister Jiang, who were covered in chicken manure, and gave Qian Jue a thumbs up subtly.
I don't know what kind of drug was given to these chickens, but they were able to poop so accurately on Minister Jiang and Feng Qingqing.
[The Prime Minister and the others had to run really fast, otherwise they would have been showered with chicken manure.]
Feng Qingqing above had her hair messed up by the chickens, and her face and body were covered with chicken manure and the smell of chicken manure.
While she was driving away the chickens that kept flying towards her, she glared at Minister Jiang, who was a little better than her.
Minister Jiang herself felt very wronged. Before she could figure out why things had turned out this way, she was attacked by chicken claws and chicken manure.
At the moment, she was busy dodging these crazy chickens and had no time to pay attention to Feng Qingqing's eyes that seemed to want to eat her.
The Queen looked at the dust and chicken feathers floating in the air and scolded, "What are you all standing there for? Catch these beasts."
Upon hearing the order, the guards rushed forward to catch the flying chickens.
After catching all the chickens, Feng Qingqing walked towards Minister Jiang with murderous intent.
The Queen knew the inside story and didn't want her to embarrass herself any further, so she said, "Come, take the princess downstairs to freshen up."
Feng Qingqing had never been so embarrassed in her life. How could she obey obediently? She pushed away the maid who walked towards her.
"roll."
Her rage had overwhelmed her rationality and she didn't care how miserable she was. She only wanted to settle the score with Jiang Shangshu, who she believed was the culprit.
"I'll say it again, go take a shower and change clothes first."
The Queen raised her tone. Feng Qingqing turned to look at her gloomy face, and reluctantly followed the maid downstairs to bathe and change clothes.
…
The ministers saw that the empress was unhappy and hung their heads in silence, glancing at the embarrassed Minister Jiang. They were glad that they had run away quickly and escaped harm.
"Prince Tianqi has come all the way here, sorry to make you laugh."
The Queen looked at the Prince and her voice softened.
The prince nodded, "No."
The Prime Minister came out and said, "I think Minister Jiang knows about this. Your Majesty, please interrogate Minister Jiang and find out what's going on."
Minister Jiang knelt on the ground with a thud. After weighing his options, he said earnestly, "Your Majesty, I am a subject. The princess has instructed me to do this, and I dare not disobey."
She knew that the question now was not about arguing who did it, but about admitting that she had indeed done it for Feng Qingqing.
After all, she had just shouted quite loudly, and no one would believe her if she said that this matter had nothing to do with her.
The Empress was informed of this matter on the day she entered the palace. As long as she admitted her mistake, she would be innocent.
She is a minister after all, and the empress cannot punish her for no reason.
The Empress looked at Minister Jiang lying on the ground, knowing what she was planning. She said calmly, "Get up. I know the Princess's temper. I think someone must have instigated her to cause you trouble."
"Ah, Queen, can you please look at what you are saying? You can't lie so openly just to defend Feng Qingqing."
[You're really protective of your child. You wouldn't wake up unless Feng Qingqing stabbed you with a knife, right?]
The Prime Minister sneered in his heart.
The empress was reluctant to pursue the princess and even found a reason for her to be instigated by others.
Minister Jiang also became the person who did things for his superiors, and both of them got away with it completely.
He knew that it was useless to say anything, and seeing the Queen's attitude, he naturally thought that the Queen must have known about this first.
She couldn't help but feel disappointed with this king whom she had known since childhood.
In order to pave the way for the princess, a scene of phoenixes surrounding the princess was staged. Then it was said that the princess was the so-called princess destined by heaven. When the ministers who believed in destiny saw this scene, they would definitely change their opinion of the princess.
She withdrew her thoughts and glanced at the Queen.
No wonder he let Minister Jiang go so easily.
The other ministers also understood the Queen's plan and couldn't help feeling disappointed.
At this time, someone next to the queen came over with two people.
"Your Majesty, someone is causing trouble down there. I've already brought them up."
Ling Le waved his hand and said, "Bring the person over here."
The two confused people thought that Feng Qingqing wanted to reward them for their good work, but when they took a quick look at the messy scene and the uneasy atmosphere, their faces turned pale instantly.
The guards forced the two men to kneel on the ground, and the queen looked at their pale faces.
"Do you two admit your guilt?"
"Six, you're so straightforward in accusing me of something. You have the potential to be a tyrant even more than your father."
"Your Majesty, this is unjust."
The two men kowtowed with pale faces, and kept shouting that they were wronged.
"Unfair! Weren't these chickens put here by you two?"
"It was indeed the two of us who placed it there, but this was all ordered by the princess."
They were just following orders and were wronged.
"Why did the princess let you release these chickens?"
Ling Le looked at the Queen's increasingly cold face and angrily scolded the two, "Tell me, is there someone giving bad advice to the Crown Princess and trying to harm her?"
She only hoped that the two of them could understand the meaning of her words and find a way to defend themselves.
Otherwise, if they just keep crying out for injustice, the Queen might choose to let the two innocent people die in order to settle the matter.
He had brought disaster upon himself. Qian Jue saw the Queen's intention and naturally would not let innocent people be implicated because of his bullying of Feng Qingqing.
He walked out from among the ministers and said neither humbly nor arrogantly:
"Empress, the two were only following orders. I believe the person who gave the princess advice has already fled. The princess has offended many people, so it is understandable that someone wants to embarrass her and seek revenge."
"Your Majesty, please spare us. We are only following your orders."
"We can't let them go," Feng Qingqing, who had just changed her clothes, strode over and shouted angrily, "Someone, come here, give me..."
Before she could finish her words, the Prime Minister interrupted her.
"My Lady, the Emperor is still here. Are you planning to go beyond his authority and punish these two?"
"Why can't I deal with the people in my house?"
Feng Qingqing directly retorted, "The Prime Minister has long been dissatisfied with me. Could it be that this was done by the Prime Minister? Otherwise, why would he think of offending her and the other two?"
The Crown Prince chuckled, "This is my first time in Li Country. Could it be that the Crown Princess of Li Country has a higher status than the Empress? The Crown Princess can actually call for war and killing in front of the King."
