The voice of Emperor Jing of Wei brought the queen back to her senses. She lowered her head and looked at Su Ruian, who was sweating in pain in her arms. She closed her eyes resignedly and said, "Manou, burn all the sachets you brought."
The palace maid named Agate who followed behind the queen tremblingly piled all the hidden sachets on the ground, and immediately a guard came forward and lit the sachets with a fire stick.
Sure enough, not long after, the hornets almost dispersed, and the palace servants immediately carried the unconscious Su Ruian away.
"These burning sachets should be what we wear. We are wearing them, so why are the wasps coming here? And just now, those wasps seemed to be chasing Rui'an intentionally. Is there something on Rui'an that attracts them?"
Su Chenyu went to the Queen's side and asked. Her voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it.
In a wealthy and powerful family, who doesn’t have some shady tricks?
The appearance of the hornets today was unusual. They seemed to be chasing Su Ruian with a purpose. Plus, the queen had just gone downstairs to burn incense bags, so how could he not understand?
The sachets were tampered with. Some of them attracted wasps, some drove them away, and some had no effect on them. The queen wanted to use the wasps to harm others, but she didn't expect to harm her own daughter.
If you get stung by a wasp, will your face still look good?
There are more women in the place than in other places. Who can tolerate this?
It has nothing to do with them who the queen wants to harm, but she has to be implicated. How can this be acceptable?
"I invited you all to the palace for fun during the Yulan Festival, but I didn't expect something like this to happen." Emperor Jing of Wei looked at the empress's distraught look and could only come forward to clean up the mess for her. "I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Listening to those high-sounding words of Emperor Jing of Wei, Su Chenyu sneered in her heart. Such a big scandal happened in front of the royal officials, could it really be brushed aside with just a few words?
Since Emperor Jing of Wei had said so, no one could ask any more questions. They could only suppress their anger and be escorted out of the palace by the palace servants.
The crowd dispersed, and the bustling Imperial Garden gradually returned to calm. The apricot blossoms that were blooming all over the garden, after being trampled and destroyed by the crowd just now, no longer had the beauty they once had.
Seeing that no one was around, Emperor Jing of Wei glared at Su Chenyu and said, "Feng Yi, was it you who did what happened today?"
"Your Majesty, you are really weird. Obviously everyone knows who is involved in today's incident, but you choose to blame me. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
"It is impossible for the Queen to do such a thing that would make her lose face. It's you, it's all your fault." Emperor Jing of Wei pointed at Su Chenyu and cursed, "You really don't care about the face of the royal family at all. After today, how will others view me and the Queen?"
After what happened last time, Su Chenyu had long been disappointed with Emperor Wei Jing. However, listening to his questioning at this moment, Su Chenyu still felt extremely heartbroken. She was obviously his daughter, so why could he be so cruel to her?
"The Empress wanted to plot against Princess Fengyi, but Princess Fengyi was lucky and nothing happened. Your Majesty, now you think that the instigator was not at fault, and that the victim was not killed honestly, which was a big mistake?" Baili Yanqing's cold voice sounded.
Su Chenyu looked back and saw that it was Baili Yanqing. Her eyes narrowed slightly. She did not expect Baili Yanqing to come back.
Similarly, Emperor Jing of Wei did not expect this.
"Bai Li Yanqing, why did you come back again?" Emperor Jing of Wei asked, "You should have left the palace by now and shouldn't be meddling in my family affairs."
The wheelchair stopped beside Su Chenyu. Baili Yanqing looked at Emperor Jing of Wei without a trace of fear. "On the way out of the palace just now, I thought about it over and over again, and I always felt that something was wrong. Everything today was clearly aimed at Princess Fengyi, so I thought of coming back to remind the princess."
At this point, Baili Yanqing's eyes showed a hint of sarcasm: "I didn't expect to hear what the emperor said to the princess. It was really shocking. Princess Fengyi is my future wife. Her affairs are my affairs. I naturally cannot let her suffer the slightest grievance!"
