"Third Princess! I really don't know anything! I didn't hear anything! Third Princess!"
"Third Princess! I really don't know!"
She kowtowed while crying, and was so heartbroken that she acted very scared towards Gu Miao.
Chun Guo in this state made the Queen Mother and the Emperor look at him sideways. Gu Miao's heart was beating fast, not knowing what Chun Guo was doing. He just endured it, his fists creaking, and the scars on his face were extremely hideous.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Slave! Slave!"
Chun Guo suddenly burst into tears
"I really don't know the true whereabouts of Concubine Ning's child!"
The scene was silent for a moment, and the emperor's expression was visibly broken.
"What did you say?! Say it again!"
Chun Guo immediately shut up, trembling even more violently, looked at Gu Miao in fear, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I really don't know! I really don't know!!"
The emperor strode forward and grabbed Chun Guo's shoulders.
"Tell me! What do you mean by the true whereabouts of Concubine Ning's child? This child isn't a real child? What do you mean?!"
"What do you mean? Tell me!"
"She's talking nonsense! She's talking nonsense! Father, don't believe him! Father, don't believe him!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Miao suddenly knelt down and grabbed the emperor's robe.
"Father..."
“Shut up!!”
At this time, the emperor finally became anxious. He ignored everything and shouted directly at Gu Miao on the ground.
The more excited he was, the more frightened Chun Guo became, and he was speechless for a while.
Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Gu Qingsheng placed the child in Qianshi's hands and slowly comforted the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please let me do it."
"This girl is an old acquaintance of mine. Let me see if I can make her feel better."
As soon as she said she knew Chun Guo, the emperor immediately moved aside.
Gu Qingsheng squatted down and patted Chunguo's shoulder
"Miss Chunguo, do you still remember me?"
Chun Guo slowly raised her head and saw Gu Qingsheng. She swallowed her saliva and quickly grabbed her.
"Help me! Help me!"
"There's nothing to worry about anymore."
Patting Chun Guo's hand, Gu Qingsheng softened his voice and tried not to scare her.
"The Emperor is here, the Queen Mother is here, they are all here, and the guards will protect you."
“Those with ulterior motives…”
She raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Miao with a hint of meaning.
"It can't hurt you."
These words made Chun Guo calm down. She slowly relaxed her grip on Gu Qingsheng's clothes and then shrank back in fear.
"Can I...can I say...can I say..."
"Can."
"you say!"
The emperor shouted
"I will definitely seek justice for you!"
This sentence was like a life-saving talisman. Chun Guo also had the courage, pursed his lips, and pointed at Gu Miao.
"It's all the Third Princess's fault! It's all the Third Princess's fault! This is all a conspiracy orchestrated by the Third Princess!"
Looking at Gu Miao's nervous and frightened expression, the Queen immediately understood what was going on and frowned.
"You slandered the princess and deceived the emperor. Do you know what this crime is? This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan!"
"Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!"
"Queen!"
The empress dowager, who had just sat down, could no longer sit still and called out to her.
There was scrutiny in his eyes, and the meaning inside made the queen feel a little guilty.
"Why are you so anxious? It's not too late to ask clearly."
"I didn't hear it. This girl said, is there something strange about Concubine Ning's birth this time?"
Even after the Queen Mother spoke, the Queen had no choice. After all, she was completely unaware of Gu Miao's situation.
I could only reluctantly step aside and look at Gu Miao worriedly.
"yes……"
Chun Guo left Gu Qingsheng and kowtowed to the emperor.
"My maidservant! My maidservant's name is Chun Guo!"
"I fled here with my sister, and then worked at Prince Duan's mansion. By chance, I left Prince Duan's mansion and became a servant to Miss Luo..."
"That day...that day, the Third Princess was talking to Miss Luo...she said...she wanted to replace Concubine Ning's child with a deformed one, so that she and Master Lin...could be together!"
“You’re talking nonsense!!”
In a moment of anxiety, Gu Miao did not expect her to do this. She suddenly took a step forward and stretched out her hand to hit Chun Guo in the face!
The hand stopped in mid-air. Xu Qingyi had already stood beside her and held her hand.
"Third Princess, please listen to her first."
"you!"
I tried to free my hands, but found that I couldn't.
Gu Miao was so angry that his face turned red.
"Shut up."
The emperor looked at Gu Miao coldly, then nodded at Chun Guo on the ground, his voice seemed to be filled with forbearance.
"Go on."
Seeing Gu Miao being stopped, Chun Guo swallowed his saliva
"Because, because I was carrying water at the time and heard all this from the doorway. When I went in, the two of them happened to be talking about the whereabouts of Concubine Ning's real child. They probably thought that I might have heard it, so, so..."
"That's why I sent someone to kill you this time, hoping to eliminate the trouble once and for all..."
"Fortunately, fortunately, this servant was lucky enough to escape here, otherwise I would have died by now."
As she spoke, she began to cry, and seemed very sad. She kept lying on the ground and shaking her shoulders.
Those anxious people didn't give her a chance to cry, and immediately asked
"Did you hear that?! Where are they taking the baby?"
The emperor didn't even care about Gu Miao now. He pulled Chun Guo up and asked.
Chun Guo's face changed slightly as his wrist was pulled and hurt. Then he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from making any sound.
Realizing her situation, the Queen Mother also gave the Emperor a look, and the Emperor immediately put down the spring fruit, coughed, and said solemnly.
"If you can tell me where they are, I will reward you handsomely!"
Chun Guo's face flickered for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the two of them colluded with the midwife from Concubine Ning's mother's family, and asked her to switch the baby while no one else was paying attention. It seems that they were saying that they would take the baby to the mass grave outside the city and abandon it..."
"Someone come quickly! Go to the outskirts of the city! Go to the outskirts of the city!"
The emperor's heart was almost torn apart when he heard the news. Others also hissed coldly and looked at Gu Miao with eyes full of disbelief.
"At such a young age! Yet, he is so cruel!"
The Queen Mother stood up, heartbroken. Gu Qingsheng hurried forward to support her and patted her back to help her calm down.
"Queen Mother, calm down..."
The queen was speechless and stared at Gu Miao blankly. The daughter she had raised seemed a little strange to her for a moment.
From beginning to end, the emperor did not express his opinion to Gu Miao.
However, if the child is really found in a mass grave, then Gu Miao's crime of murdering Long Si will be confirmed.
"First, have someone go and invite Miss Luo from the deputy general's residence in."
At the critical moment, the empress dowager was much calmer than the emperor. She did not forget that there was Luo Zhaozhao, the mastermind behind this incident!
