Hearing him say this, the queen was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she immediately spoke.
"Are you sure you saw the servants in my palace? I have never asked them to do such a thing. You must have seen it wrong."
When the servant heard what the queen said, he immediately retorted.
"Impossible, Your Majesty, I could not possibly have made a mistake. I saw it clearly at the time, it was her.
The Queen can call the person out now, and we will know the truth after a personal confrontation."
The Queen shook her head at this time.
"Chunhua is not feeling well and cannot see anyone. Let's wait until she gets better. There is nothing we can do now."
When Concubine Rou heard this, she became very excited. She pointed at the queen and shouted.
"Queen, what do you mean by this? Are you feeling guilty? We just arrived and your servant happened to fall ill. This is too much of a coincidence!"
After saying this, Concubine Rou paused for a moment, and then spoke again to the queen in front of her.
"Empress, if you really did it, just admit it. I promise that this matter will be over and I won't hold it against you. As long as you admit it and acknowledge your mistake to me, I will forgive you."
How is it possible for the mother of a country to admit her mistakes to a little concubine?
Not to mention that the queen didn't do this, even if she did it, she would never admit her mistake to a small concubine.
So the Queen ignored what Concubine Rou said at this time. She just kept staring at the Emperor, wanting to see what he was going to say.
She felt that if the emperor stood up and refuted her at this time, her disappointment might be less.
However, the emperor once again disappointed the queen.
Because at this time he actually nodded, indicating that he agreed with what Concubine Rou said.
"Empress, I was originally planning to punish you severely for this matter, so that you would remember it well, but since Concubine Rou has said so, I will not bother with you. All I need is for you to admit your mistake."
The queen looked at the emperor in shock. At this moment, she still didn't believe that these words would come out of the emperor's mouth.
In fact, the emperor felt a little regretful when he said this, but the words had been spoken and he had no way to take them back.
For some reason, looking at the expression on the queen's face at this moment, he felt a little panicked and a feeling of fear came over him.
He felt as if something was slowly slipping away from his heart. Although the speed was very slow, he couldn't catch it.
The emperor deliberately ignored this last feeling. He became more and more confused, then looked at the queen and said sternly.
"Queen, please ask that servant in your palace to come out now. I don't care whether she is really sick or not. I want to see her now. Queen, do you want to bring her out yourself, or do you want me to send someone to find her in person?"
At this moment, there was suddenly a noisy sound outside, and then a servant ran in hurriedly.
At this moment, her eyes were full of panic. She ran to the emperor as fast as she could and knelt down.
The emperor was startled by the sudden appearance of the person. Before he could react, the person in front of him started crying.
"Your Majesty, please, save this servant of yours. The Empress wants to have me killed.
I don't even know what I did wrong, Queen, you really have a cruel heart!"
The queen was not surprised at the sudden appearance of this person, because she had arranged all this in advance.
Otherwise, how could such a servant girl escape with so many people in her palace and just appear in front of the emperor?
The queen didn't say anything and just watched their performance. The emperor also spoke at the right time.
"Are you the Chunhua beside the Queen? Did the Queen really ask you to do something like that?"
Chunhua subconsciously glanced at the queen, and then her whole body shrank back, as if she was very afraid of the queen.
Seeing her like this, the emperor spoke immediately.
"You don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to keep looking at the Queen. I'm here. If you have any problems, just tell me directly. I can assure you that you will be fine. The Queen won't dare to do anything to you."
I don’t know if it was Emperor Hua’s words that worked, but Chunhua was willing for a moment, and then she slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, about a month ago, the Empress suddenly and mysteriously asked me to go to her bedroom, and then she handed me some small dolls. Those dolls looked very strange and scary.
So I didn't dare to look at them any longer, and I followed the Queen's instructions and found a big tree outside to bury the dolls."
Hearing her say this, the emperor became angry instantly.
He immediately yelled at the queen in front of him.
"Queen, at this point, do you have anything else to refute? There's already evidence of both witnesses and evidence. No matter how much you refute it, it won't change the fact that you did this."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, he suddenly saw the queen smile, and her smile was a little sad.
At the beginning, the queen didn't say a word. After a long time, she suddenly spoke.
"Since the Emperor has already made this decision,
There is nothing more to say. Your Majesty, please tell me how you want to punish me. I don’t care.
Seeing how calm the Queen was, Concubine Rou instantly became dissatisfied. She had put so much thought into setting up such a scheme, but it seemed to have no significant impact on the Queen. She was still as cold and arrogant as ever, and it was cold and arrogant to the core.
Looking at the queen like this, Concubine Rou felt really uncomfortable.
So in order to disgust the queen, she looked at her delicately and spoke.
"Empress, as long as you admit to me that you were wrong, the Emperor will not blame you. As long as you promise not to do such a thing again, I will forgive you."
The queen glanced at her and said nothing more. Her meaning was very clear.
That is, she was too disdainful to admit any mistake to Concubine Rou. After all, she was not the one who did it, so what was there for her to admit?
"Your Majesty, I will kill you or chop you up, it is all at your discretion.
The queen's indifferent look completely annoyed the emperor.
He looked at the queen with cold eyes.
"Queen, are you sure you don't admit your mistake? If you don't, don't blame me for being rude to you."
