At this moment, Concubine De felt extremely ashamed.
She has always respected the emperor and knew that he was talented, otherwise her father would not have been so loyal to him...
But she was also afraid of the emperor's bad temper.
He has been cautious over the years and has not angered the emperor.
If she had a bad opinion of the Queen, she would have been impatient and intolerant.
During these few days of getting along, something happened to my family, and the attitude of the emperor and empress...
It completely overturned her understanding of the emperor and the empress.
Until this moment, the Queen calmly stated the Emperor's aspirations...
She believed that the relationship between the emperor and the empress had only recently eased, and it was impossible for them to express their political ideals...
Therefore, even though the emperor and the empress were not on good terms, the empress always had a clear understanding of the emperor.
On the other hand, I have had more time to accompany the emperor over the years...
But he had never seen the emperor's true ambition.
He only saw the surface, he loved to get angry, punish ministers, and showed no mercy...
Defei felt extremely guilty, but because of the Queen's tolerance, she showed understanding and kindness towards the Eighth Prince.
"Okay! Time is of the essence.
I called you here not to question you, but just to understand the situation so that I can make arrangements for the next step.
Judging from my current sobriety, the people behind the scenes probably don't know the truth...
Maybe he knew that you burned something at Xiaoba's residence and behaved abnormally before and after...
So the association was in the wrong direction. Now that he can send a letter in, if we don’t take any action, he will definitely take other measures…”
When Concubine De heard this, she immediately panicked.
Before he could speak, the queen stopped him gently, "Don't panic!
The other party just wants to make a big deal out of it. Now that I know the truth, I might as well tell you. Since His Majesty has given me the letter paper...
Your Majesty must believe in Xiao Ba in your heart.
With us here, what kind of trouble can the other side cause?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine De once again knelt down in gratitude.
"Don't kneel down all the time! Cheer up!
Someone has bullied your son, and you still have time to cry?"
Concubine De quickly wiped away her tears and said gratefully, "On behalf of Rui'er, I would like to thank the Queen for her trust and love!"
The queen smiled gently, "If you want to thank someone, you should thank His Majesty. If His Majesty gets angry, our explanations will be useless."
Concubine De nodded, feeling grateful.
The queen laughed, "Come to think of it, there is also a little guy who has made contributions..."
Concubine De looked up in confusion.
The Queen explained, “At that time, Your Majesty was holding Baozhu and walking in the Imperial Garden.
Perhaps it was because he was holding the little princess and couldn't get angry. He was worried about scaring Baozhu, so His Majesty was able to calm down. "
Upon hearing this, Concubine De said gratefully, "I had prepared a gift for the little princess...
Because of this temporary matter, it has not been delivered yet.
Once I understand this, I will make good preparations.”
The queen smiled and said, "I think Baozhu likes Lao Si and Xiao Ba very much. They are good-looking...
This little guy! I don’t know who he looks like, but he’s so good-looking and he’s very happy to be hugged by his brother.
When you have time, let them come to the palace more often, spend more time with your sister, and when you have time...
Also go meet the prince and Xiaojiu, Baozhu will probably be happy."
The last sentence is indeed the Queen’s selfish motive.
She also hoped that her two sons could be influenced by the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince and become more cheerful and happy.
Concubine De smiled gratefully.
According to the Queen's arrangement, Concubine De quickly left the palace.
The two of them split into two groups, with the queen responsible for thoroughly investigating the harem and clearing out the hidden clues planted by the mastermind behind the scenes.
How did a letter enter the palace, reach the hands of the young eunuch, and even who protected it...
There's no way it could be as simple as a little eunuch jumping into a well.
Defei left the palace and was responsible for a thorough investigation of all the servants in Xiaoba's residence, as well as all the palace maids she had brought out of the palace at that time, and all the people brought by her younger brother Fan Tingzuo.
No matter how capable the people behind the scenes are, it is impossible for them to know what happened in the prince's residence out of thin air.
What's more, Defei handled the matter secretly at the time, and Fan Tingzuo personally cleaned up the mess without leaving any traces.
That's why the other party didn't find out the truth and mistakenly thought it was witchcraft.
The empress went to Xuanzheng Hall in person and informed the emperor of the eighth prince's situation truthfully.
The emperor was indeed shocked, but after a while, he felt relieved.
He originally believed that Xiao Ba would not do this...
But I'm still worried about what might happen.
He didn't expect that Xiao Ba still had a secret...
Although he is different from ordinary people and does not conform to the behavior model of a prince...
But in the end, it did not violate any etiquette or harm any others.
"The Queen..."
The emperor looked at the queen, "What do you think?"
The Queen raised her head and looked at the Emperor with a faint smile, "Doesn't your expression say it all?
Why do you need to test me?
Your prince is naturally also my child.
When children behave inappropriately, they naturally need to be regulated.
If not, and someone deliberately framed them, parents should do their best to protect them and eradicate the trouble!"
