"You're here! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Baolan was extremely angry at being controlled by Luo Zhaozhao. The sudden appearance of Anyang's fine gold and the whispers of the crowd made her mind go blank.
"I didn't... It wasn't me at all! Stop talking nonsense!"
She pushed Luo Zhaozhao away and kowtowed before the emperor.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It really wasn't me! I didn't know this gold..."
“Bold!”
Eunuch Li shouted, his eyebrows raised and his face gloomy.
"How dare a humble servant call herself 'I' in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager? How unruly!"
"Someone! Slap him!"
Several maids and servants immediately dragged Baolan away. She cried all the way, but Luo Zhaozhao just lowered her eyes and stopped talking.
The appearance of the two made the queen ponder for a while.
"I remember that this look seemed familiar to me."
"What does the Queen mean by this?"
The emperor turned his head and asked, and he understood a little. The queen then told him everything that had happened since Luofo Temple. The first one to slam the table was Prince Duan.
“Lawless!”
He was a very humble person, and this angry look had only been seen during the Nine Dragons' struggle for the throne.
Later, Prince Duan was injured while saving the emperor, and then he got married and had children. He probably felt that his life was perfect, so he had not been so angry for a long time.
Lin stretched Prince Duan's back and frowned.
"Your Highness, please calm down and be careful not to get yourself hurt by anger."
Her comfort did not work at all, and Prince Duan was so angry that he breathed heavily.
"My daughter was being bullied outside and I didn't even know about it! Such a big thing happened! Qingsheng! Why didn't you tell me!"
Gu Qingsheng lowered his head, and suddenly there was a hint of tears in his words.
"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that my father will worry... That's why..."
Seeing that Prince Duan was so angry, Luo Zhaozhao found the right opportunity and kowtowed to Prince Duan repeatedly, his voice choked with sobs.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me! Baolan is still young, if there is any punishment, come to me! Baolan was just bewitched for a moment!"
The Queen Mother spoke to Prince Duan in a light tone.
"Prince Duan, there are so many people here, what are you talking about?"
After all, she was his biological mother, so she spoke with a certain authority. Prince Duan glanced at Luo Zhaozhao, flicked his sleeves and sat down.
And his appearance made everyone worried.
It seems that this matter will not end well.
Luo Qingsong was terribly frightened and sat on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes. He really had a lot on his mind right now.
You can escape the death penalty, but you can’t escape the punishment of life imprisonment.
The maid in my house did such a big thing, and the crime she committed is not light.
As he was speaking, the maid who slapped his mouth came in hurriedly from outside, holding something in her hand, and knelt before the emperor.
"Your Majesty! These are the things I found on that girl's clothes. A lot of them fell off when I slapped her in the face."
The container contained some sawdust, which was exactly the same color and material as the fake wooden plaque.
There was no need for any unnecessary investigation. The emperor had a gloomy face and was about to give an order when Xu Qingyi finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, on the day of sacrifice, you are not allowed to kill."
The gentle and slow words made the emperor feel less depressed. The queen mother continued
"In that case, let's put him in jail first."
"As for the governor's family..."
She thought for a while
"Since you once helped the Queen at the foot of that cliff, I'll spare you the trouble."
"Today is a good day, don't let these things ruin your mood."
Such a thing happened right at the beginning of the palace banquet, and it was very tiring to drag it on.
The Queen Mother was old, and she sighed, her aged face full of impatience.
"Then, do as Mother says."
The emperor would naturally follow her wishes and approved it immediately. Luo Zhaozhao was found not guilty, but she did not seem to be very happy. She was helped aside by Gu Miao, her eyes red.
Once the matter was settled, Chu Zhiyao just glanced out the door and didn't make any other moves.
However, Miao Lanlan was a little confused when she saw this scene develop.
"Tell me, what does Luo Zhaozhao want? What good will it do her if Baolan dies?"
"Last time, we tried so hard but couldn't pull Baolan down. I wonder who got taken advantage of..."
"That's not necessarily true."
To cure Luo Zhaozhao's poison, she needs the eyes of someone who truly loves her as a medicine guide.
She and Miao Lanlan both thought that the person used as a medicine would be Baolan, and it was Baolan who conveyed the message to Leiman at that time. They didn't expect to see Baolan in the hall today.
This made Gu Qingsheng feel very strange. He didn't expect Luo Zhaozhao to do this. The matter took another turn.
"If it was Baolan, Luo Zhaozhao would definitely not want to treat her like this. This situation only proves that the one who was dragged out was not Baolan."
The real Baolan may have really followed their wishes.
Gu Qingsheng sighed, and Bai Lu happened to squat down to pour water for her. She could see Bai Lu's fair face, and the fine hairs under her cheeks glowed in the moonlight.
He could smell the light perfume she was wearing today, and suddenly a turbulent wave of emotions surged in his eyes and swept away, like a gust of wind in June, suddenly bringing Gu Qingsheng to the day when Bai Lu died in his previous life.
All that was left for her was a blood-stained brocade wrapping and the tiny sapling growing on the small grave.
Bailu, I can avenge you.
"Your Majesty, I feel this is inappropriate."
The dancers had just come up and hadn't started dancing yet, but Chu Zhiyao still stood up.
He was of a resolute character and stood up without hesitation. The emperor was already quite annoyed by Chu Zhiyao's behavior just now, and now seeing him say something again, he couldn't help but frown.
"General Chu, is there anything else you need to report?"
"Your Majesty, although the archery incident was not committed by the princess, it does not mean that the poisonous insect incident is false."
"Let me test this insect to prove whether Princess Changle is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason."
"Whether in the Western Regions or Miao Border, the art of Gu is forbidden to be spread outside. If Princess Changle can use Gu, I believe that the meaning behind it does not need to be explained to His Majesty. Only then will you understand."
"General Chu! What is your intention in repeatedly targeting Qingsheng? I, Prince Duan, have never thought of offending General Chu in any way!"
"This isn't a personal grudge; it's a matter of national importance. Please don't interfere, Prince Duan!"
The two of them were about to quarrel again. Gu Qingsheng rubbed his brows. At this time, Lin became obedient and did not try to stop the fight. Gu Qingsheng glanced at her and sneered.
"This isn't a personal grudge. This is a personal grudge."
Seeing Chu Zhiyao's hypocritical face, Miao Lanlan felt angry and made a sound of sighing.
"Okay, stop arguing."
Gu Qingsheng raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zhiyao, stopping the two from arguing.
"General Chu, there's no need to test me. I do have a Gu in my body."
"but……"
