Shen Tuo knelt on the ground, considering how to answer.
The Seventh Prince blurted out, "Father, it's not the Queen Mother and me. Someone is deliberately framing us!
Why would I want to harm my eighth brother?"
Concubine Xian looked calm and said slowly, "Your Majesty is wise and summoned us instead of sending people to interrogate us...
Your Majesty must trust us, we will not do that."
The emperor looked at Concubine Xian calmly, and his expression relaxed as he watched her.
"Sir Shen, the man who identified you is being held captive by Li Quaner's men.
You go and meet him and see if you can get any useful clues.
If not, tell Li Quaner that there is no need to keep that person."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tuo kowtowed solemnly to the emperor.
The emperor's attitude was not only a sign of trust, but also a way of helping the three people to eliminate future troubles, so as to prevent this person from making up stories and giving others a chance to criticize him.
The Seventh Prince was very excited. He and Concubine Xian thanked her and then left.
Inside Kunning Palace.
After Concubine Li finished feeding the child, Jun Baozhu was already fast asleep.
Concubine Li placed the little princess on the bed and covered her with a pillow.
He asked the palace maid to keep an eye out for any movement outside while he went to Fenglai Palace.
"thump......."
He didn't see the threshold clearly and walked in a hurry, so he tripped over it and fell to his knees.
Concubine Li did not get up either. She just knelt where she was, looking obedient.
The queen laughed angrily, "What? Are you still waiting for me to help you up?"
Concubine Li quickly stood up, took a few steps, and knelt down at the Queen's feet again.
Holding the Queen's hand, he said devoutly, "Sister, I was wrong..."
The queen raised her chin, "What's wrong?"
Concubine Li blinked her eyes. From this angle, her face looked nine points like Jun Baozhu...
The queen couldn't even get angry.
She reached out and pulled, but the person wasn't lifted up yet, and the queen raised her eyebrows.
Concubine Li knelt down obediently, "I'd better kneel down! Wait until I finish speaking. If sister is still angry..."
The queen was shocked to find that not only was she powerless against Jun Baozhu, but she had also been unable to do anything about Concubine Li since some time ago.
Want to kneel? Kneel down!
Concubine Li looked up at the Queen's expression and saw that she was not really angry, so she explained truthfully:
"Sister, I dare not tell you because I am afraid you will be sad...
You are so good to Baozhu. If you find out, I can hear Baozhu's inner voice, but you can't...
How sad it would be...”
The Queen looked at her, "How do you know, I can't hear you?"
Without waiting for Concubine Li to answer, he laughed, "I can't tell, Concubine Li's acting skills are quite good!"
Concubine Li muttered, "You are also..."
My legs are numb from kneeling, so I don’t care anymore!
Without even raising his head, he stood up.
When the queen took action, her voice still sounded somewhat aggrieved and innocent:
"Anyway, I didn't hide it from you on purpose!
My daughter is a talkative person, and her inner thoughts are always coming out...
You care about me, treat me well, and often accompany Baozhu...
I've observed you many times, but you didn't react at all, you didn't even raise your head...
Your Majesty too.
I am afraid that you and your majesty may think I am mad or under some evil spell...
Or maybe you think the orb is some kind of ghost..."
The Queen had never intended to blame her, and her own reaction at the beginning was similar.
Even now, I am worried that the prince will know my heartache...
He solemnly instructed, "For the next period of time, you and I must stay by Baozhu's side...
At present, as far as I know, His Majesty and Xiaojiu can hear that Henger...
Can’t seem to hear…”
Concubine Li nodded in understanding, "Yes, I will definitely keep my mouth shut."
Queen: "Not only that, the pearl seems to be able to foresee many things. We are fine, but if other people with ulterior motives know about it..."
Imperial Concubine Li understood and asked, "Next time, should other concubines or princes hold Baozhu or stay close to her?"
"Try to be with me. You usually rest in Qiwu Palace, and I can't just barge in and disturb you..."
The Queen suddenly remembered something and asked Concubine Li, "Where is Baozhu now?"
Concubine Li pointed to the Qiwu Palace and said, "Baozhu fell asleep after eating. I asked the palace maids to guard outside..."
The queen stood up immediately, and for some reason, she suddenly had a bad feeling.
