"This...what exactly happened?" The empress dowager, who was supported by Eunuch Qin, had black hair like ink and did not look old.

After all, the emperor was in his thirties, and she was only in her teens. She held a high position of power and was well-maintained, so she was naturally younger than ordinary women.

All of a sudden, Concubine Zhao came out of the yard and started crying without caring about her image. The Queen Mother was confused, but she also felt annoyed with Eunuch Huang.

"Huang Mingquan, you are a popular person around the emperor, but Zhao is your master as a concubine. How dare you humiliate her like this?"

As he spoke, he motioned to Eunuch Qin to help Concubine Zhao up.

The latter, now supported by someone, immediately became more arrogant. She turned around, snatched the princess from the maid's arms, rushed forward, and stood close to the queen mother in fear.

"Aunt, look at our princess. It's pitiful that she hasn't even had enough to eat.

I am nothing more than a concubine. Princess Xiao is the heir to the throne after all..."

Concubine Zhao belonged to the Queen Mother. This was not just because she was close to the Queen Mother, but was determined by her status.

The Zhao family of Jinzhou was a distant relative of the Empress Dowager. Concubine Zhao came from Jinzhou and was the Empress Dowager's niece.

When the concubines were selected, the empress dowager saw that Zhao Zhilan was very beautiful and obedient, so she decided to keep her for the emperor.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Princess 꺶 with concern. Seeing that there was still soup stain on the corner of the child's mouth, 놊you slowly pulled out the 꿛絵 from her waist and wiped it for her.

This time, he was not just angry at Eunuch Huang, but furious!

Just as he raised his eyes and was about to scold, the Emperor and Empress walked in.

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned. Today was the first and tenth day of the lunar month for visiting, so why did the Emperor and the Queen come together?

Eunuch Huang didn't care about that. He immediately relaxed when he saw the emperor and empress. He moved quickly to stand behind the emperor and empress with a strong desire.

The Queen Mother was very angry and showed obvious fear. She asked, "Emperor, do you know what the eunuch beside you did to the princess and her mother? How dare a servant like me do that without your consent--"

"Mother, it was me who asked Huang Mingquan to abduct that bitch Zhao Zhilan to Shoukang Palace!" The emperor's eyes were filled with anger, and he glared at Concubine Zhao who was standing beside him.

The tone was also extremely cold.

The latter couldn't help but shudder violently. Some memories buried deep in his heart gradually awakened. He looked panic-stricken and dared not look the emperor in the eye.

Where is the arrogance and confidence still there?

The Queen Mother choked, and looked deeply at the emperor who seemed to be joking, and was surprised, "Why? I know that you have never had much patience with Concubine Zhao, and you think she is noisy, but no matter what, she is also a meritorious person who gave birth to an heir for our royal family.

Besides, being a nagging person is not some unforgivable sin, right?"

She had snorted in her heart dozens of times, thinking that her eldest son was just like her second son, and he could win her heart.

Look at him still pretending now, is he trying to tease Concubine Zhao on purpose, or does he really like her as the queen mother?

"Why? Haha." The emperor sneered, and each word seemed to come out of his nose with sparks, "Huang Mingquan, bring the man here and have a good talk with the Queen Mother. What kind of crazy thing did this bastard do?"

After saying this, he glanced at Lady Zhao and her daughter, then hurried into the main hall. Now he had to drink some tea to suppress the anger in his heart.

The queen, however, dared not be as willful as the emperor. She stepped forward and helped the queen mother, "Mother, let's not stand outside. Let's talk inside."

"Aunt, I didn't do anything. I am innocent." Concubine Zhao was worried, but she didn't dare to show it. She held the princess and squeezed forward, and was almost squeezed out by the queen.

Liu Qin was very angry, so the queen pulled her back, signaling her not to get angry.

Actually, she had a lot of leverage over Lady Zhao, enough to kill her without a burial place. Why would she bother with a mad dog at this time?

After everyone went in, Huang Mingquan looked for Xiaoxuanzi everywhere. The witnesses Xiaoluezi and Ashu were responsible for escorting him.

Fortunately, there are no leaks.

Huang Mingquan was still worried, as the old Queen Mother was very easy to fool. But since the Emperor asked him to speak, he couldn't refuse. He simply gritted his teeth and explained the matter quickly and clearly, then pointed at the kneeling mule and Ah Shu.

"You two, are you still going to explain everything to me? Are you ready to suffer physical pain again?"

The eunuch's voice was shrill, and the slightest sound was like a crow weeping blood. Not to mention that Eunuch Huang had been working in the palace for so many years that he had already developed a devilish voice.

Thousands of scenes, thousands of sounds.

It is naturally very intimidating at this moment, making people afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, Xiao Muzi and Ah Shu looked at each other, and the only hope supported them. After a while, they told the whole story of how Concubine Zhao had pulled them together and ordered them to use the first and second princes to persecute Concubine Chen.

The people, objects and key nodes involved are all described in a very concise manner.

The Queen Mother is also considered the winner of the palace fight. How can she tell the truth from the false?

For a moment, he opened his mouth slightly, staring at the crying Aunt Zhao in disbelief for a long time, without uttering a word.

Concubine Zhao cried more aggrievedly than anyone else, "Your Majesty, I have done such a thing before, Queen Mother, you know how loyal I am to you!"

The grandmother Zhao Zhilan, who was glamorous and aggressive just now, was now crawling on her knees, looking to this person and that person, like a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy.

She pitifully pulled at the corner of the emperor's trouser leg and said, "Your Majesty, I love children the most. How could I do such a conscienceless thing as using and harming children? Someone is slandering and framing me!"

Your Majesty, you know that I have taken great care of the princess over the past year. If I didn’t really love the child, how could I be so devoted to her? I am more attentive than the Queen and Concubine Ruan to raise your princess so well! "

After all, mother and daughter are connected by heart. When Princess 꺶 heard her mother crying, she pouted and started crying heartbreakingly too. She struggled out of the palace maid's arms and stumbled towards Concubine Zhao.

The princess is three months older than Xiaoyan. She is one year old now and can walk a little, but very steadily.

Seeing the child running so fast, Concubine Zhao was terrified. She was about to catch the child with tears in her eyes, but the emperor stood up first and picked up the child. He coldly ordered Eunuch Huang: "Find two reliable old palace maids to take the princess away!"

Now, I feel sick just by looking at Zhao Zhilan.

Such a treacherous woman is not fit to be the mother of a princess!

When Concubine Zhao saw the emperor's expression, what else could she understand?

It was clear that 놛놊 was convinced that she was a murderer and would kill her and take her child away.

She immediately got up and ran forward, like a mad woman, and snatched the child back from the emperor's arms, holding the child and shouting, "You! The emperor wants to take my child away, he wants to take it away!"

The people who tried to stop her felt that they were against her when they saw her state, and whispered, "This Lady Zhao, is she too scared of being exposed, so she went crazy?"

"It looks like that. How dare she go and fight with the emperor? Whether she hurts the princess or the emperor, it's all her fault as a sinner!"

"That's why I say she's crazy. A crazy person wouldn't care about so many things."

"Alas, it's pitiful. Although she is scheming and has a vicious heart, in the end, isn't her reason for doing this for the betterment of the princess?

Someone beside her said that the princess was indeed well-fed. Even though she had six fingers on her left hand when she was born, Concubine Zhao did not dislike it and raised her to be plump and white. Now, if you take off the gauze on the child's wrist, anyone can tell that the princess has six fingers. "

"How dare you! You have nothing to do, right? You dare to gossip in front of the Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Palace. You don't know how rampant you are. Someone, take those who just spoke down and give them ten heavy beatings to serve as a warning to others!"

At the queen's command, the timid palace maids who were talking in low voices were taken away.

But in fact, this was all arranged by her on purpose, with the purpose of bringing out the matter of Princess Six Fingers.

The emperor and the empress dowager were very upset. They didn't know whether Concubine Zhao was really frightened and stupid, or was just pretending to be crazy to avoid responsibility.

In short, things have become more difficult to handle at this moment. Even if Concubine Zhao really goes crazy, out of humanitarianism, she may die and will only be thrown into the cold palace to perish on her own.

"Be good, Princess! Don't cry! Mother will feed you candy. Our Princess loves candy the most. Here, this candy is round and white, so it must be very sweet."

Lady Zhao was half crazy and half stupid. She picked up a pearl button that had fallen off the ground when the palace maid was captured and was about to put it into the princess' mouth.

Xiao Xuanzi was quick-eyed and rushed forward to snatch it away. However, this undoubtedly showed one thing: Lady Zhao might be really crazy!

If she loved Princess 꺶 so much, why would she feed such a deadly thing into Princess 꺶's mouth?

The Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at the mother and daughter who were trembling in each other's arms, and sighed, "Your Majesty, look, look, it's because I trust the results of your and the Queen's investigation, and it's because I'm willing to punish Concubine Zhao, but she is like this now, what else can I do?"
