"My queen..."
Concubine De smiled to cover up, "What do you mean by that?"
If she hadn't heard Jun Baozhu's voice, the Queen might still have doubts...
But after hearing it in the Imperial Garden, I was quite sure that the Eighth Prince had a secret.
Seeing Concubine De in such a state, he became more certain.
It’s just not clear whether the Eighth Prince’s preferences are really as stated on the letter.
But she didn't believe it. Based on her observations over the past few days and her impression of Concubine De...
You can't teach a child like this.
"I..."
Seeing that Concubine De was nervous, the Queen waved to her to sit closer and casually changed the topic:
"I won't beat around the bush with you, this is it..."
The Queen whispered that even if there were no palace maids involved, she still didn't want rumors to spread and affect the Eighth Prince's reputation.
The Queen discovered the letter and briefly explained the whole story to Concubine De.
When she heard that it was related to the Eighth Prince, Concubine De turned pale and held on to the handle of the chair tightly to prevent herself from sliding to her knees.
After the Queen finished speaking, she pulled out a piece of letter from her sleeve and motioned for Concubine De to read it herself.
Defei was terrified and unsure whether the Queen intended to test her.
Her performance just now was full of panic and loopholes, and she regretted it deeply.
"Look first..."
The queen reminded him gently, without any intention of blaming him.
"I'm letting you take a look because I want to hear what you have to say first...
I don’t want to send someone to check directly, just in case there is a misinterpretation or omission.”
Obviously, the Queen meant that she would rather trust Concubine De than go and investigate.
The messenger was able to drive straight into the Xuanzheng Palace...
There may be some means to attack the people sent by the Queen and make them look real.
Defei was very grateful and her eyes were slightly red.
I couldn't care less about all that and quickly read the letter in a hurry.
Until the last word, Concubine De finally couldn't control herself and slid down...
Fortunately, the Queen was nearby and she reached out to grab Concubine De and lifted her up.
"My lady, Rui'er doesn't have it!
Someone deliberately framed Ruier!"
When the Queen heard Concubine De's affirmative words, she felt relieved.
I'm glad that I listened to Concubine De's narration first, otherwise I would have really wronged the Eighth Prince.
Concubine De was so panicked that her face turned almost as pale as a sheet of paper.
The charges on paper and the witchcraft had pushed his son to a dead end...
The time of the son's residence and the burning incident all matched...
This means that there is someone arranged by the mastermind either around him or in his son's house.
Even if you are extremely careful, you will still leak clues.
The other party must have found no other clues, so they speculated that it was witchcraft...
De Fei was frightened. Perhaps, it was because of her momentary panic that she attracted the attention of the mastermind behind the scenes...
Taking the opportunity to frame someone.
"Concubine De is sure that the Eighth Prince did not practice witchcraft?"
The Queen's attitude was serious and she was not questioning.
Concubine De was very sure, “Your Majesty, I raised my own son and he knows it very well.
Don't mention that I raised you in the palace and taught you with all my heart.
Even if he left the palace, Xin'er would always discipline his brother. If there were any clues, it would be impossible..."
Speaking of this, Concubine De felt a pain in her heart.
Yes, hasn’t the Eighth Prince’s secret preference been kept secret for so long?
Didn’t myself, the Fourth Prince, and everyone else fail to notice?
Concubine De changed the subject and continued, "His grandfather, my father, the Imperial Censor Fan...
I have also personally taught...
If he could do such a heinous thing, there would be no need for the Queen to intervene. I would just run my head and die at his feet!"
Upon hearing this, the Queen comforted Concubine De and said, "Concubine De, there is no need to be like this. I asked you about the situation so that I could know the situation clearly...
I also believe in the Eighth Prince. Not to mention that he didn't have it, even if he did find out something, Your Majesty and I didn't think of giving up on him so easily..."
When Defei heard this, her eyes flickered and tears finally filled her eyes.
