“Cough cough cough…”
As we approached the bedroom, we heard a cough.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. The little princess has already sent people to look for him, and we'll have news soon..."
"Ahem...all of you go down, I want to sleep a little longer."
She knew that her youngest daughter was gone, and Yue'er was just trying to cheer her up.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Zhang wants you to get more sun. The sun is shining brightly outside. May I help you go outside?" Aunt Qiao was extremely anxious when she saw that the Queen's health had become increasingly worse these days.
"Let's go out and bask in the sun in the afternoon. I'm just tired."
Nanny Qiao covered the Empress with a quilt and then retreated to the outer room with the palace maids.
Aunt Qiao and the others also seemed to be feeling sleepy, and their eyelids were getting heavier.
Nanny Qiao pinched her knuckles hard, trying to use the pain to keep herself awake.
But the sleepiness came very suddenly, and I lay down on the table and closed my eyes tightly.
Seeing that Madam Qiao was sleeping on her stomach, the other two senior palace maids gave up trying to stay awake and quickly fell asleep while sitting on the chairs.
Xiao Xier was very satisfied with this and pushed the door open to enter the inner room of the bedroom.
A beautiful, sickly woman was lying on the dragon and phoenix bed, facing Xiao Xier.
Xiao Xier felt a sense of familiarity when she looked over.
Xiao Xier walked over quickly, and when she saw her profile clearly, several images quickly emerged in her mind.
hiss——
Xiao Xier had an unbearable headache and squatted on the ground, pounding her head hard.
The Queen suddenly opened her eyes and saw a little girl hiding on the ground and hitting her head. Just as she was about to call someone in, the little girl suddenly looked up at her.
The little girl's eyes were red, with a few tears hanging in them.
She looked so cute and aggrieved that the Queen felt inexplicably distressed.
"child."
The call relieved Xiao Xier's headache. She quickly climbed onto the dragon and phoenix bed, lifted the quilt and threw herself into the Queen's arms.
The action was so fast that when the Queen Mother reacted, the child in her arms called her "Mother" and then lay motionless in her arms.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and saw that the child had fallen asleep.
Why does this child have the same smell as Yue'er?
The word "mother" seemed to still echo in her ears. The Queen reached out and pulled her little head to reveal her face.
After a while, the Queen turned over while holding Xiao Xier. Everyone thought that it would take some effort for her frail body to do so, but she turned over very easily.
The Queen looked back at the door, afraid that someone would come in, so she took the quilt and covered Xiao Xier's head.
Unlike the quiet and peaceful Kun Palace, the Zichen Palace was eerily solemn and quiet for a moment.
"What nonsense!" Emperor Jingshun slammed his palm heavily on the dragon throne.
"This is clearly a false accusation! Although we, Nankun, and your Beiyi, have had no major conflicts over the past century, we have had numerous minor ones. However, we would not collude with your Second Prince to help him force the emperor to abdicate. Our Nankun territory is rich in resources, and surely there are several iron mines? As for smuggling pig iron to your Beiyi?"
Ye Boxian, the assistant minister of the Beiyi Ministry of War, said slowly, "Your Majesty, the three Nankun spies we captured specifically stated that Tai Zhuo sent them to Beiyi to deliver pig iron to the Cui family in Huayang County. This is their confession."
The chief eunuch quickly presented the confession.
Only then did Mu Chen Hanyue understand what the Princess Protector of the Country was planning.
The Princess Protector of the Country really has good intentions for her sister. This is a warning to scare her so that she won't act rashly or go to Beiyi to find her sister.
Xiao Su said, "Your Majesty, those three are now in Beiyi and can be called upon to confront us at any time! I believe this is Tai Zhuo's ambition alone and has nothing to do with the Nankun court. The Emperor of Beiyi sent us to Nankun to draw His Majesty's attention and bring down that ambitious individual to better maintain peace between the two countries!"
Emperor Jingshun glanced at Mu Chen Hanyue who was standing in the palace. Tai Zhuo was her confidant.
Wasn't this ambitious man talking about her precious daughter?
This is impossible!
Someone must have framed her!
Mu Chen Hanyue stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I sent Tai Zhuo to find the whereabouts of the imperial sister. Some time ago, I received news that the imperial sister was still alive. In case someone was behind this and kept it secret, I sent Tai Zhuo to investigate secretly. Now it seems that someone is indeed behind this and is targeting me. Please allow me to personally find out who is behind this!"
Xiao Su was a little surprised to see that Crown Princess Nankun was still a child!
He is involved in government affairs at such a young age!
It’s incredible!
It seems that the next emperor of Nankun will be the empress.
Emperor Jingshun nodded to Muchen Hanyue, then turned to the Beiyi envoy and said:
"General Xiao, Minister Ye, the Crown Princess has never been to Beiyi in her life, let alone known the Second Prince of Beiyi. Tai Zhuo was indeed sent out to find the little princess. This is clearly someone intentionally plotting to cause war between the two countries. Our dynasty will take this very seriously and will definitely uncover the person behind this!"
Ye Boxian said, "Then please ask His Majesty the Emperor to arrange for someone to investigate this matter as soon as possible!"
"Okay!" Emperor Jingshun said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to convey the results to the Beiyi court. A palace banquet has been prepared for this afternoon. Please move to the Shanhe Hall!"
"Withdraw from the court!"
Xiao Su, Ye Boxian and others were led by palace servants to the side hall of Shanhe Palace to rest for a while.
Mu Chen Hanyue followed Emperor Jingshun to the temple.
"Please punish me, father!" Mu Chen Hanyue knelt down quickly.
"Get up quickly."
Emperor Jingshun quickly helped the man up and said with a kind look, "Tell me, what crime have you committed?"
"My son's mistake was not immediately informing Father that the Imperial Sister was still alive. Instead, I took the initiative to send Tai Zhuo and others to look for her. I also had people wantonly frame her, nearly causing a military conflict between the two countries."
The more Emperor Jingshun looked at Mu Chen Hanyue, the more he liked her. "It's not your fault. It was someone who did it deliberately. I'm afraid it was this person who deliberately revealed that your sister is still alive. Perhaps this person is the one who stole your sister from the imperial mausoleum!"
Emperor Jingshun's tone was slightly angry when he said this. He even made his daughter restless even in death!
Find this guy and make sure he dies a miserable death!
"Father, please calm down. I will quickly find the person behind this!"
"No! You don't need to worry about this matter. Father will definitely find this person himself!" Emperor Jingshun was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"You've been accompanying your mother these past few days, coaxing her and making her feel at ease. Now you've given her hope. If this is all a farce, your mother might not survive."
In the previous life, the Queen Mother lived a very long life. She is still alive in this life, so she is bound to die of old age!
"Let's go, Yue'er, accompany your father to Kun Palace to meet your mother, and then we will go to Shanhe Palace to entertain the Beiyi envoys."
Nanny Qiao opened her eyes and found that she had fallen asleep on the table. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she quickly woke up the two palace maids.
He straightened his clothes, walked to the door of the inner room, and called softly, "My lady, this old servant comes in to serve you."
"Don't come in!" The Queen looked at the little girl who was still sleeping in her arms, "I want to sleep a little longer. Tell the chef to prepare an extra bowl of rice and two more dishes for lunch today."
Aunt Qiao was delighted. The Queen needed to eat more vegetables to keep healthy. "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
