The queen knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. Her voice was weak, but she still insisted on defending herself.
"Your Majesty, I am not trying to quibble, but I am truly wronged. I really don't know why there was such a dirty thing as musk deer in that bracelet. As the mistress of the Central Palace, I shoulder the heavy responsibility of the harem. I hope that my sisters will bear children for Your Majesty. How could I possibly use such a thing on my sister?
What's more, although this bracelet was made by someone specially commissioned by me, it has also passed through the hands of many people, and it is unknown who may have tampered with it.
Your Majesty, please investigate!"
She and the emperor were husband and wife, and although they didn't have much affection for each other, they still got along well on the surface and could be considered to respect each other like guests.
No matter how much the emperor favors others, she is the unshakable master of the harem. The six palaces respect her as the most respected. Even the favored Concubine Hua cannot shake her status in the slightest.
Even now, when Concubine Hua discovered the mechanism in the bracelet in advance and she was summoned by the Emperor for confrontation, the Queen did not panic.
Her character has always been deeply rooted in the emperor's heart. She has the support of her family and a most powerful killer.
A bracelet containing medicine is a trivial matter. The emperor will not take her seriously for such a small matter.
It was just a show in front of Concubine Hua, going through the motions, giving a small punishment and a big warning, just to appease this stupid Concubine Hua.
Besides, she had plenty of excuses to deal with it.
Feng Wanwan snorted coldly upon hearing this.
[Quibbling! You're the Queen. Without your order, who would be so bold as to stuff poison into the bracelet to harm my mother?]
"To find the real culprit, we need to look at who will be the biggest beneficiary if this thing succeeds. My mother gave birth to me successfully, and my idiot father made me a Princess of the First Rank. That must have terribly frightened you, right? That's why you drugged my mother to prevent her from giving me a brother who would threaten your position and that of your future sons!"
[Stop struggling, dear, and go to the stable to eat some grass!]
Although Feng Wanwan's voice was childish, it caused Feng Yinzhen's eyes to show some surprise.
Although the kid is small, he has very clear ideas.
Well, you are worthy of being my son.
Moreover, although the kid still calls him "Big Pig's Hoof", he adds the word "Dad" at the end, which means that the child has begun to recognize him as his father.
happy!
Feng Yinzhen curled the corners of his lips, then pursed them, staring coldly at the trembling hairpins on the queen's temples.
"You know you're the Empress, with heavy responsibilities and great power. You ordered this bracelet to be made, and without your permission, who would dare to tamper with it? Why, just because I've conferred the title of Princess Gulun on you, are you panicking?"
"I am innocent! I would never dare to have such thoughts even if I die!"
The trembling hairpin paused for a moment, and then the amplitude suddenly increased. With her body lowered, Empress Wu Yashi's face was devastated.
Things seemed to be beyond her expectations.
Many times, right or wrong is not that important. What matters is whether the decision maker thinks you are right or wrong.
But her judgment of the decision makers was skewed.
The emperor seemed to be serious about it.
At this moment, a clear voice sounded behind her.
"Your Majesty, the Empress has always been kind and tolerant, and everyone in the palace has witnessed this. Not to mention that she would never do what she did today, even if she wanted to do it, she would not wait until Concubine Hua gave birth to a princess.
Therefore, I believe that someone must have deliberately framed the Empress and wanted to sow discord between the Emperor and the Empress, which is why they did such a despicable thing.
Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly and clear the Empress' name!"
Behind the queen knelt a long line of palace maids and eunuchs, and the one who spoke was Songchun, who was kneeling closest to the queen.
Her face was serious and earnest, as if her master was really the one who was wronged.
Look, what did I say? They're really starting to cry thief!
[This is an attempt to turn the tables and say that my mother put the medicine in the bracelet herself, so that my mother can be accused of deliberately framing the Empress and alienating the Emperor and Empress!]
【Luckily, my mother was prepared, so this wave of attacks couldn't hurt her.】
Feng Wanwan clenched her white, tender fists, feeling indignant.
Then he glared at Feng Yinzhen fiercely.
"You big pig's hoof, you just saw my mother's bracelet break with your own eyes. If you're so foolish as to truly doubt my mother, I'll buy a Heavenly Thunder Talisman from the system to strike you down, even if it means taking on a 20-year loan!"
This sentence shocked Feng Yinzhen and Hua Fei again.
Guaiguaier actually wanted to attract thunder to strike his own father. How cruel...
Feng Yinzhen silently clenched his fists.
At this moment, Hua Fei suddenly snorted and spoke with a sneer.
"You audacious slave! Are you saying that I deliberately tampered with the bracelet? I deliberately gave myself this harmful drug just to drive a wedge between the Emperor and the Empress?"
"Without evidence, I dare not make any rash assertions, but I dare to assert that this matter has nothing to do with my Empress Dowager!"
Song Chun said he didn't dare, but his meaning was clear.
Hua Fei was furious. She didn't care that the thing was dirty. She grabbed the pile of black pills and the gold bracelet from the tray and smashed them at Song Chun.
"Bitch, how dare you slander me!"
“Crash!”
The gold bracelet was extremely heavy and hit Song Chun's forehead directly, causing a red swelling.
But Songchun showed no fear. Instead, he smiled slightly and actually raised his head, staring at Hua Fei with sharp eyes.
"I was just proposing a hypothesis, so why did Her Majesty Hua Fei frame herself in such a predicament? And she's so excited. Could it be that Her Majesty is feeling guilty?"
"Why should I feel guilty? You..." Concubine Hua was furious.
Although her mind told her to control her emotions, she still couldn't contain her anger when faced with the sophistry of these bitches.
Anyway, she has always been an arrogant and domineering person. Even if she can't hit the queen at this moment, can she not hit a little maidservant beside the queen?
However, before she could finish her words, a big hand hugged her thin shoulders.
"Lan'er, don't get angry over a lowly maid. Just take a break. I will seek justice for you."
The hand brought her into a broad embrace. Feng Yinzhen's low voice was full of pampering and tenderness. One of his large hands supported her shoulders and helped her sit down on the couch again, while the other hand took Feng Wanwan from her arms, intending to let her rest in peace.
These gentle words and soothing actions made Hua Fei feel at ease. She calmed down and sat down on the couch.
Feng Wanwan's expression changed drastically, and alarm bells began to ring.
[The pig's hoof is really only handsome for three seconds! ]
[He stood up and spoke at this time, seemingly to appease my mother, but in fact, he was just trying to smooth things over!]
"I shouldn't have expected that big pig's hoof to help my mother! Bah!"
