Everything can be explained even though the emperor and empress haven't slept together yet!
But what they are worried about now is whether they can really walk out of the palace alive.
…
"Your Majesty, I accidentally let the secret slip. After my sister and I recognized each other, I was so happy that I accidentally let it slip."
Maybe Chuncao had never felt the love of her family since she was a child, and she felt guilty towards her sister.
At first, the family had to choose between two options: sell a girl to have money to buy food and medicine.
This matter has always been a knot in Chuncao's heart, so after they recognized each other, she had no defense against her sister at all.
But after she let the cat out of the bag, she also told Chunfang not to tell anyone.
What she didn't know was that Chunfang used this information to gain great merit in front of Concubine Zhuang.
Concubine Zhuang originally wanted to give the queen a contraceptive drug, but when she heard that the queen was still a virgin, she immediately found Zhang Yuanshi and asked him to prepare a fake pregnancy drug.
It's just that she didn't tell Zhang Yuanshi the inside story. After all, it was their first collaboration, so there was no need to reveal the whole plan.
"Can you get away with something like this just by being careless?"
"Are you worthy of the Empress? If it weren't for Miss Bai today, the consequences would be so serious, don't you know?"
"Have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Jiaruo stood guard in front of the Queen and angrily scolded Chuncao.
She found Chuncao's attempt to ask the Queen for forgiveness ridiculous.
If you accidentally let something slip, you can make up for it, but what about drugging someone?
All of these slaves know that if you are unfaithful once, you will be unfaithful a hundred times.
After this incident, who would believe that she would not betray the Empress again next time?
"Your Majesty, you are the most kindhearted. Please spare my life, Your Majesty!"
Chuncao knelt down and begged for mercy, her kowtows were so loud that it shook the heavens. At this moment, she really realized her problem.
But she had finally gotten out of that broken home and didn't want to die yet.
"Come here, search Concubine Zhuang's bedroom. We already have witnesses. Once you find physical evidence, there's no need to report back. Just banish her to the cold palace!"
"As for the maid, I'll leave it to the Queen to decide."
The young emperor rarely made important decisions directly in front of the regent.
In the past, he would always look at the emperor's uncle's face, at least to seek a little affirmation on a psychological level.
Maybe he is a little over-dependent on Xiao Moqing, but this is already his habit.
But today was different. When he heard the imperial physician say that the queen was pregnant, he was completely stunned and out of his mind.
Later, even though I tried to calm down, I was still panicking inside.
It was not until he saw the queen in his arms, her face so pale, that he realized how wrong he was.
He should give the queen more trust and love, and should learn how to balance state affairs and the harem.
In the final analysis, he was still not mature enough. Even though his uncle taught him so much, he still didn't dare to take risks.
So at this moment, taking advantage of his feelings for the queen, he had to start learning to be an independent emperor. After all, his uncle could not assist him for his entire life.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhuang is the legitimate daughter of Duke Hanguo. Will this happen..."
The Queen did not expect the Emperor to do this for her. She frowned slightly.
Every concubine in the harem was carefully selected by the previous emperor and empress, and their family background should not be underestimated.
At the same time, she is also the key to checking and balancing several important officials of the previous dynasty. If Concubine Zhuang is suddenly attacked, it may cause adverse effects.
"If the Emperor breaks the law, he is guilty as a commoner. Moreover, Concubine Zhuang wants to harm you, the Empress. I will not tolerate this!"
"As for Duke Han, if you dare to object, then I will demote Concubine Zhuang to a commoner and let him take her back home!"
The young emperor was not angry for his beloved, but he could not keep a scheming person like Concubine Zhuang in his harem.
If the harem is unstable, the court will be unstable. She dared to attack the queen today, and she will definitely be more cruel in the future, so Concubine Zhuang cannot be kept.
Xiao Moqing, who was standing behind Bai Shu, also noticed the changes in the little emperor.
He was very pleased that he could finally see a bit of the late emperor in the little emperor.
He no longer cowered, no longer hiding behind the desk. At this moment, Xiao Shengchen had a powerful aura between his brows and a majestic look in his eyes, making people dare not confront him.
…
"I thank Your Majesty for your decision."
The queen looked at the emperor at this moment and felt that his image instantly became taller.
Moved for a moment, he turned to the palace maid and said,
"Jiaruo, take Chuncao downstairs and ask her to pack her things and go to Xinzheku."
The Queen finally spared Chuncao's life, but that was all.
There was endless work to be done in Xinzheku all day long, and the servants there were many levels lower than those in the Queen's palace.
Whether she can do well in Xinzheku depends on whether she can endure hardships and work hard.
As for Chunfang in Concubine Zhuang's palace, I believe Chuncao will soon be able to see her true face.
Sometimes, after losing something and regaining it, the feeling of losing it again is even more heartbreaking. This is the greatest punishment for Chuncao...
"Thank you very much, Madam, for not killing me!"
"Thank you very much, Madam, for not killing me!"
"Thank you very much, Madam, for not killing me!"
Chuncao cried and said it three times, then left the room with tears in her eyes.
When she reached the door, her tears blurred her vision and she almost fell down. She only paused for a moment before leaving.
She was extremely regretful at the moment, but the traces of what people had done could not be erased, and she had to admit it.
"Okay, the matter is finally resolved. Queen, please have some rest. I will take Shu'er out of the palace first."
A thrilling fake pregnancy incident finally ended, and the eldest princess saw the rapid development of the relationship between the emperor and the queen.
She couldn't be so tactless and stare at them being so affectionate, so she decided to leave some space for the two of them.
But she was only concerned about the awakening little emperor, but she didn't pay attention to the other uncle who was also awakening.
Xiao Moqing's low voice arrived late,
"Has the Emperor forgotten something? Today we must reward people according to their merits."
Xiao Moqing looked at Bai Shu with his gentle eyes.
His personal doctor has worked so hard for so long, not only curing illnesses and saving lives, but also solving cases. It can't be that his trip was in vain, right?
Then he won’t let you go next time!
“…”
Xiao Moqing's words successfully silenced everyone present.
[What I'm saying is, there's no need to ruin the atmosphere like this! ]
Bai Shu was enjoying herself when she was interrupted by Xiao Moqing's words. Is she the kind of vulgar person who only cares about money?
"Miss Bai, your contribution today is invaluable. I reward you with one hundred taels of gold, ten pieces of brocade silk, and a box of pearls. In addition, I will give you a token that will allow you to enter and exit the palace at any time. Is that okay?"
The little emperor seemed to be asking Bai Shu, but in fact he was observing Xiao Moqing's intentions.
He originally wanted to be given the title of a princess or a duke, which would be more prestigious and noble.
But after thinking for a moment, he still felt that Bai Shu's identity should be given by the Regent.
Maybe, the identity his uncle will show in the future will be even more noble?
