He planned to have someone take these things to confront the queen.
It is not certain whether the queen did this.
The emperor looked at the servant who had just filed the complaint and asked.
"Do you remember which servant of the queen you mentioned?
I will take you there now to confront her face to face."
When the emperor said this, Concubine Rou remained calm and didn't show any fear at all.
Since she dared to put the blame on the Queen, she must have been prepared for it a long time ago.
She arranged everything so perfectly that even if the emperor had suspicions, he couldn't find out anything.
"Your Majesty, I remember that it was Chunhua, the second-class maidservant beside the Empress. I am willing to confront her face to face."
Seeing his fearless look, the emperor couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could this be true?
However, he also knew that it was useless to just think about it. It would be better to have evidence. As long as the evidence was found, other things would be useless no matter how others argued.
"Put on airs, and go to the Queen's chambers now."
The Queen also received the news. She didn't expect that the news she spread could be so easily resolved by Concubine Rou, and that Concubine Rou would even bring the disaster upon herself.
No matter what happens, she will not let Concubine Rou succeed.
But isn't Concubine Rou trying to frame her? Then why not help her?
It just so happened that during this period of time, she didn't know how to make the emperor feel guilty about her, and this matter of Concubine Rou could just relieve her urgent need.
The more serious this matter is now, the more guilty the emperor will feel when he finds out the truth.
The more guilty the emperor feels, the more he will want to make amends, and this is what the queen wants.
The queen did not prepare anything, nor did she ask anyone to lock up Chunhua. She just waited silently, waiting for the emperor to come with Concubine Rou.
The queen waited for a long time and finally heard the sound coming from outside. She knew that the emperor was coming with his men.
Sure enough, before her people came in to report, the emperor's people had already broken in.
When he came in, looking at the queen sitting calmly on the chair, the emperor didn't know why, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't describe it, but he felt very uncomfortable.
"Queen, do you have any excuses for what you did?"
The emperor had never thought that he would use this word, and was stunned for a moment.
The main thing is that when this word was said, it sounded as if she had really done something shameful and needed to make excuses.
The Queen did not like this word. Seeing the Sixth Prince walking towards her with some fear, the Queen was just about to reach out and pull him into her arms, but she was a step too slow.
Because at this time, the Sixth Prince had been pulled into the emperor's arms.
"Xiao Liu, don't go over there. Your mother is a vicious woman. She has done many evil things. Don't be with her. She will teach you bad things."
The Queen could accept that the Emperor believed Concubine Rou's words and then doubted her, but she could not accept that the Emperor spoke ill of her in front of her children.
Her child is her Achilles' heel. She does not allow anyone to defame her image in front of her child, not even the emperor.
So he stretched out his hand to the Sixth Prince in front of him and called to him softly.
"Xiao Liu, come here. Mother has something to tell you."
After all, the Sixth Prince was raised by the Queen herself. It is impossible for him to have a bad relationship with the Queen just because of a few words.
When he saw the queen extending her hand, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately broke free from the emperor's hand and ran into the queen's arms.
After taking the Sixth Prince, the Queen asked the maidservant beside her to bring him up.
"Xiao Liu, go down first. I'll come see you later, okay?"
The Sixth Prince has always been relatively obedient, so when he heard the Queen say this, he did not refuse. He nodded and followed the others downstairs.
The emperor was watching from the side and he had no way of getting a word in.
In fact, he felt a little regretful at this moment. He shouldn't have said that to the Sixth Prince just now, but now that the words had been spoken, there was nothing he could do. No matter what, he could not take back what he had said.
After the queen confirmed that the sixth prince had gone down, she suddenly looked at the emperor in front of her and asked.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? You brought so many people to my palace for no reason, and even said those inexplicable words to Xiaoliu. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can come directly to me. There is no need to tell the child. The child is still young and may not understand what you want to say to him.
Did I do anything wrong? I even alarmed the Emperor.
I guess this beautiful woman next to you said something to you again!"
Before the emperor could speak, Concubine Rou, who was standing beside him, spoke first.
"How can the Queen speak of me like this? I am not that kind of person. Please don't talk nonsense. I..."
Before she could finish her words, the Queen slapped her in the face, leaving Concubine Rou stunned and unable to react.
When she realized what was happening, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
She looked at Concubine Rou in front of her with some anger, her face full of anger, and then spoke.
"Empress, I didn't say anything wrong. Why did you hit me? You hit me so indiscriminately. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you?"
Concubine Rou's words made the emperor burst into laughter.
"How could the Emperor possibly blame me? He should be grateful to me. A consort like you who is so arrogant should be punished. Otherwise, you will never learn your lesson.
This palace is helping the emperor to reorganize the harem. The emperor will definitely not have any objections, don’t you think so? Your Majesty.
The Queen's words made Concubine Rou so angry that her face turned pale and blue. She knew that at this time, if she wanted to confront the Queen head-on, she would not be her opponent at all.
So she had no choice but to turn to the emperor for help. Without hesitation, she immediately turned around, looked at the emperor beside her, and spoke pitifully.
"Your Majesty, look at the Empress. Why is she hitting me? It hurts! I didn't do anything wrong."
The emperor had just seen with his own eyes the queen beating Concubine Rou for no reason, and he was very angry at the moment.
"Queen, you have done something wrong and you still don't repent. How can I trust you with the entire harem?"
