A few breaths later.
Eunuch Yin greeted the Empress Dowager and the Eldest Princess as they entered.
"Your subject pays respects to Your Majesty."
When the Emperor saw the Empress Dowager enter, he quickly rose to greet her.
Immediately afterwards.
He then looked at the eldest princess.
"My imperial sister has arrived as well."
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Yes! My dear sister, there's no need for such formalities."
"Mother, was the journey to worship Buddha smooth?"
The Empress Dowager did not answer after hearing this, but asked, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with Qing'er?"
The emperor feigned a sigh.
"Oh! That girl, she really is something, she's kept it so well hidden. But this incident is truly significant."
In the past two days at court, all the officials have been presenting memorials about her affairs.
"Her affairs? Your Majesty, you know that girl has been with me the whole way."
"Your subject understands."
"If you knew, why didn't you investigate thoroughly before transferring her directly to the Dali Temple?"
"Alas! I have no choice! Everyone pointed to that girl, the common people also pressed their blood seals and jointly submitted a memorial, and all the officials submitted their reports."
"If I don't transfer her to the Dali Temple, the incident will definitely escalate, and the whole city might descend into chaos."
"Brother, it's obvious that someone deliberately framed that girl."
You don't know, we've encountered several groups of assassins along the way, all of them there to kill that girl.
Besides, all her shops have run into trouble all at once, so that girl must be innocent!
Upon hearing this, the Emperor realized that the Eldest Princess must have also spoken up for Ye Qingcheng, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Then, he sighed again: "Of course I know, but this matter has both witnesses and physical evidence, so the evidence is conclusive and I have no choice but to proceed."
"Your Majesty, in the past two days since the incident, has no one been found to be the mastermind behind it?"
"Your subject, upon receiving the memorial, immediately ordered a full investigation, but all the suspects pointed to Princess Han."
This morning at court, I could no longer bear the pressure from the officials and the injustices of the people, so I had no choice but to hand the matter over to the Court of Judicial Review for a thorough investigation.
After saying that.
The Emperor walked back to the table and took all the memorials presented to Ye Qingcheng, including a piece of paper covered with names and fingerprints.
"Mother, look, all these memorials are about Princess Han, and this is a petition from the people."
The Empress Dowager took the document and looked at it. She read several memorials and then looked at the list of joint signatures.
She trembled all over, as if she had fainted, and her body swayed.
"Mother, Mother."
Upon seeing this, the Emperor and the Princess hurriedly helped her up.
After the Empress Dowager was put down, she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and looked very distressed: "Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with Qing'er?"
"Why!"
The emperor let out a long sigh.
"The people and officials demand severe punishment, but I also like that girl very much, so I have promised the officials that the Dali Temple will have two days to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"Two days?"
The Emperor nodded.
"What if the matter is still unclear after two days?"
"Then I have no choice but to grant the wishes of my officials, strip her of her title as Princess Consort of Han, remove her from the royal family, and behead her as a warning to the world."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager felt dizzy again.
The brother and sister helped her up again.
"Imperial sister, quickly, help the Empress Dowager back to rest. I will summon the imperial physician immediately."
"No...no need...I'm fine."
"Mother."
"Your Majesty, you cannot do this."
"Mother, I know, I will definitely find a way, so you don't need to worry."
"Yes! Mother, after all, that girl is innocent. Please don't think too much about it. Let me help you back to rest!"
"Your Majesty, those people from the Dali Temple should take good care of that girl and not let her suffer, otherwise I will not let them off easily."
"Yes, Mother, I have already given the instructions."
"good."
"By the way, why is Han'er kneeling outside?"
"Alas! That boy, he wants me to release that girl, but I'm really in a difficult position. He says he'll kneel there forever. It's such a waste of all the love I've given him."
"Seventh Brother has such a temper! He's so stubborn, but we can't let him kneel like this. Let him go back!"
"Yes! Mother, don't worry. Let that boy kneel for a while longer to curb his arrogance."
"Um!"
"Qing'er, help your mother back."
"yes."
Afterwards, the eldest princess and the empress dowager left the main hall.
The two left the main hall.
They came to stand in front of Qin Mohan.
"Grandmother, Grand Aunt."
"Um!"
The eldest princess nodded. Previously, she was not interested in Qin Mohan at all, and could even be said to hate him. But now, because of Ye Qingcheng, she has subtly changed and is no longer so disgusted with Qin Mohan.
The Empress Dowager looked at him and said, "Han'er, I am just as anxious about Qing'er's matter, but there's no use kneeling here. You might as well go back and help Qing'er find some evidence."
“That’s right. The most important thing right now is to find a solution, not to kneel here and put your father in a difficult position.”
"Grandson..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan opened his mouth, wanting to say that even if evidence was found, it would be useless, because it was his father who did this.
However, he had no evidence and dared not speak recklessly.
"Alright, Your Majesty has made the decision. Get up quickly and go back first. Your father has promised the officials two days. Go and find evidence as soon as possible to clear Qing'er's name."
"Two days promised?"
"Um!"
"Get up! Go back now."
After the Empress Dowager finished speaking, she sighed and left with the help of the eldest princess.
