Chapter 038: Falsely accusing her of losing her virginity
At this time, in the Pepper Room of the Imperial Palace.
Chen knelt in the main hall, crying out of breath.
"Wuwuwu, Queen, you must make the decision for the Ji family!"
"Chen Ningyuan is morally corrupt, she lost her virginity after marriage, and she is pregnant with a wild man's child. There is evidence, please punish that bitch severely and give my son who died on the battlefield a decent life!"
Queen He Yunshu sat on the high platform, looking down at Chen who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps.
Hearing her calling him a "wild man" and a "bitch" over and over again, her brows furrowed and relaxed, and her eyes were full of disgust.
Since Chen came in, she has heard these dirty words no less than three times.
The Ji family is a family of scholars after all, so why did they marry such a foul-mouthed woman?
It was just the first time she and Chen met, and she had no idea how many times her ears had been polluted.
If the emperor wasn't too lazy to take care of the matter, or if she didn't want to take the opportunity to take revenge on Cui Jin, she really didn't want to take over this mess.
Ji Zehai knelt beside Chen, watching her crying bitterly without caring about her image at all, and felt disgusted to the extreme.
Before leaving, he reminded Chen that she must pay attention to her image, words and actions in front of the royal family, and not act like a country shrew.
Chen had agreed to it, but when she came before the emperor, she started howling like a ghost.
The emperor lost his patience and immediately handed the matter over to the queen to deal with.
It is euphemistically said that matters within the household should be managed by the empress.
If Ji Zehai had not seen the impatience in the emperor's eyes when he looked up cautiously, he would have really believed it.
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai couldn't help but cough twice, reminding Chen not to cry anymore.
Unexpectedly, when he coughed, Chen thought he felt that he didn't cry miserably enough, so he cried even louder.
"Wow, wow, wow, Queen, the Ji family has been taken advantage of by marrying such a whore!"
"Empress, you must make the decision for the Ji family, wuwuwu..."
Ji Zehai: “…”
Queen: “.”
Seeing that Chen was still howling like a ghost.
The queen couldn't bear it any longer.
He shouted coldly: "Enough!"
Chen was so frightened that she stopped crying and looked at the queen tremblingly.
Ji Zehai quickly bowed his hands and apologized: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I didn't follow the rules and disturbed your peace."
At this moment, the queen also realized that she had lost her composure and immediately softened her tone.
She said in a deep voice: "Whether it is right or wrong, I will make my own judgment. Madam Ji, please don't cry anymore."
"My lady, I understand."
After saying this, Chen didn't dare to cry anymore, and even cried very carefully.
He was afraid that he would accidentally make the slightest noise and cause the Queen's dislike.
This was the quiet and strange scene that Shen Ningyuan and Song Yaner saw after they entered the hall.
The two looked at each other and saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.
But the two did not look around casually. They followed the palace maid and walked to the side of Chen and Ji Zehai.
Then he knelt down and performed a standard salute.
The two said in unison, "Your Highness has greeted Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be in good health!"
Hearing Shen Ningyuan's voice, Chen raised her head and glared at her fiercely.
Today, she must make Shen Ningyuan, that bitch, return to the Ji family with disgrace!
However, at this moment, Shen Ningyuan had no time to pay attention to her gaze.
All his attention was focused on the burning gaze above his head.
Ever since Shen Ningyuan entered the hall, Queen He Yunshu's attention has been on her.
She and Song Yan'er had been kneeling for a long time and did not move away.
Chen Ningyuan and Song Yan'er knelt like this for a long time, until their knees became numb, and the queen had no intention of letting them get up.
Shen Ningyuan's heart sank.
He looked at Song Yaner with some worry.
She was fine, but Song Yan'er was pregnant, and she was afraid that something might happen if she kneeled for too long.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan suddenly spoke up, "Queen, I am guilty, please forgive me!"
After hearing Shen Ningyuan's voice, the queen restrained her expression and asked in a cold and leisurely tone, "Tell me, what crime have you committed?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her head and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "It is my fault that I failed to handle the household affairs properly and allowed my father-in-law and mother-in-law to enter the palace rashly, disturbing the peace of Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Chen immediately exploded, pointing at Shen Ningyuan and cursing, "You bitch! What do you mean by us entering the palace to disturb the peace of His Majesty and the Empress? You are about to die, and you are still talking nonsense. I will tear your mouth to pieces, you little whore!"
"Chen!" Queen He Yunshu couldn't bear it anymore and shouted coldly.
Only then did Chen realize that the queen was really angry.
He shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word.
Then, He Yunshu turned her gaze to Ji Zehai, "Master Ji! Next time you bring your wife to the palace, teach her the rules first, so that people won't laugh at you!"
Ji Zehai became even more panicked, and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will pay more attention next time!"
Chen also shrank her neck and dared not breathe.
Shen Ningyuan raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction.
She said those words on purpose to provoke Chen.
The result was exactly as she expected. After being provoked, Chen immediately lost her composure and made the queen unhappy on the spot.
At this point, He Yunshu had lost interest and waved impatiently at Ji Zehai.
Then he turned his gaze back to Shen Ningyuan.
He said calmly, "You two, get up!"
After getting permission, Shen Ningyuan helped Song Yaner to get up, fearing that she would make any mistakes.
At this time, He Yunshu turned her gaze to Song Yaner and asked, "Why didn't Madam Shen come to the palace to meet with the emperor today?"
His tone was calm and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.
Shen Ningyuan’s heart tightened.
Sure enough, even though ten years have passed, the queen is still "thinking about" her mother!
No wonder dad was so strongly opposed when mom proposed to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan could only sigh in her heart, raised her head and answered He Yunshu's words, "Replying to the Queen, my mother is not feeling well and is recuperating at home, so she did not follow me into the palace."
"Hmph," He Yunshu snorted coldly, "Even if your mother is unwell, your sister-in-law shouldn't accompany you into the palace."
As she spoke, He Yunshu turned her gaze to Song Yaner and emphasized, "I remember you. You are Concubine Ying's sister."
"Why? Did you come to the palace today to reminisce with your sister?" He Yunshu asked again.
Song Yan'er quickly shook her head, "Your Majesty, I was just following the orders of my father-in-law and mother-in-law to accompany my sister to the palace for an audience. I never thought of anything else."
There is nothing wrong with this answer.
He Yunshu snorted again, "You haven't thought about it, but I guess Concubine Ying will come to me to ask for someone later!"
Song Yan'er didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and didn't look directly into He Yunshu's eyes.
At this time, He Yunshu got to the point, looked at Shen Ningyuan, and asked in a cold voice: "Ji Shen, your father-in-law and your mother-in-law accused you of losing your virginity after marriage, disregarding ethics and morality, and having a child with a man other than your husband. There are witnesses and evidence. Do you admit it?"
