The Queen Mother felt that the nun in front of her looked familiar, but she could not remember when she had seen her before.
Jingchi knew that she was someone close to the late queen, and if the queen mother knew about this, she would certainly be doomed. But, could she lie?
Just as Jingchi was struggling, Madam Du came in, her face clearly showing panic: "Empress Dowager, the two generals said they want to return to the capital immediately."
"The prayers haven't ended yet, how can you return to the capital now?" The Queen Mother was dissatisfied.
Madam Du replied, "General Wang said that a spy was found in the back mountain. When he was caught last night, he was staying with the Crown Princess."
The Queen Mother was shocked: "What did you say?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Ruo came in hurriedly: "Empress Dowager, you have to make a decision for me. Mu Cheng and Mu Yuan have falsely accused me of having an affair with a spy. They are trying to force me to death."
Rong Ruo knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and A Fu followed closely behind Rong Ruo and knelt down with her: "Queen Mother, when the Crown Princess married the Crown Prince, all the people around her were taken away, and it was difficult to find even one available person. Now the two young generals from the Gui family are here to falsely accuse the Crown Princess of having an affair. Do they think that the Crown Princess is isolated and helpless and easy to bully?"
When Mucheng and Muyuan came in, they happened to hear Afu's words: "Empress Dowager, when we searched the mountain last night, we notified all the female relatives to return to the side rooms to prevent danger. But the Crown Princess appeared in the back mountain, and both she and the thief were dressed in disarray. Everyone present saw it.
After the thief committed suicide, I found the Northwest Camp's defense map on him. Queen Mother, the defense map is related to the fate of Dayu, how could it appear on the thief so coincidentally, and the thief happened to be with the Crown Princess? "
Rong Ruo would certainly not admit it: "Empress Dowager, so many things happened last night, involving so many people. I just wanted to find the man who had an affair with Concubine Song and find out what happened. I was sincere and for everyone's safety. I didn't expect to be controlled by that thief. Mucheng and Muyuan didn't care about my life or death at all. They must want to kill me in the chaos.
But it didn't go as they wished, I was lucky enough to survive. They actually used the defense map to frame me. I am not from Dayu, and this method will definitely make everyone suspect that I have a rebellious heart. But I came here for the peace between Dayu and Beirong, and I will never do such a thing. "
Faced with Rong Ruo's distortion of right and wrong, Mu Yuan was so angry that he wanted to attack. Rong Ruo quickly hid behind the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, look at him. He is so angry because he failed to frame someone."
"Crown Princess, you said that the two young generals of the Gui family framed you. Why did they frame you?" At this moment, Yan Ruqin stood up.
The noble ladies had originally accompanied the Queen Mother to burn incense and pray for blessings, but they did not expect to witness such a big drama.
In this situation, the safest thing to do is to keep quiet and watch the show, but Yan Ruqin still spoke up for the family.
Rong Ruo looked at Yan Ruqin and said unhappily, "They never believed me from the beginning to the end."
"Then may I ask, Crown Princess, what did you do to make everyone believe it?" Yan Ruqin asked back, "The defense map is for the Northwest Camp. If it gets out, it will be most beneficial to the Northern Rong. It is normal for General Yan to suspect you, right?
And what about you? If you are really framed, then show evidence of your innocence instead of crying in front of the Queen Mother. You are definitely putting the Queen Mother in an unjust position by doing this. Do you want the Queen Mother to believe the people of Beirong instead of the loyal family of generations?"
Even the Queen Mother looked at Yan Ruqin in shock. She didn't have any deep impression of this girl, which was enough to show that she had been very low-key during this period. But when she said these words just now, it was enough to show her profound righteousness.
Why had I never noticed a woman like this before?
"Since I'm married to the crown prince, I'm a member of Dayu. If you don't recognize me, you don't recognize the peace agreement between Dayu and Beirong!" Rong Ruozhi knew that he could only hold on to this point. "You don't want me to be the crown princess at all, and you deliberately conspired to harm me."
