Chapter 113 Soft
Underbelly The two maids brought by the Queen Mother walked up to Ling Changning.
Ling Changning's face was ashen, and her eyes were full of fear.
She knew that the Queen Mother's words were effective no matter if it was to her father or the Regent.
If she disliked her and punished her, no one could plead for her!
"Queen Mother, you can't do this. Changning is your granddaughter after all!" The Queen
raised her voice a little.
The Imperial Concubine smiled at the ugly appearance of the two and added fuel to the fire.
"Queen Mother, Princess Changning has killed so many people in these years. I don't know how many murders she has committed. Her heart is more vicious than snakes and scorpions."
The Queen was so angry that her teeth itched because of the words of the Imperial Concubine.
Ling Changning's arm was grabbed by someone.
She looked panicked and immediately struggled to break free, then rushed over and hugged the queen's arm.
"Mother, save me, Ning'er is scared, please save me, mother!"
The queen looked at her daughter trembling all over and her face was pale, and her heart softened instantly.
Even though Ling Changning killed so many people, she was still her daughter after all!
The queen glanced at the people brought by the queen mother, and suddenly seemed to have made up her mind.
She suddenly lowered her head and protected her daughter behind her.
"Queen Mother, Changning is innocent, these people were actually killed by me!"
This sentence shocked everyone present.
Everyone looked at the queen with an expression of disbelief.
The queen mother lowered her head and asked.
"Empress, do you know what you are saying?"
The Queen kept silent, still lowering her head, clasping her hands tightly in her palms until they bled.
Ling Changning was also stunned.
She didn't expect her mother to say such a thing.
She was a little at a loss, and had no idea what to do next.
The Queen glanced at her sideways, and then continued: "Changning has a kind personality, how could she kill people? These people offended Changning, but were forgiven by Changning. I couldn't bear it, so I ordered them all to be executed and buried in this garden. I wonder if the Queen Mother has any other questions?"
Ling Fengxun stood in the crowd.
He suddenly glanced at An Yunxi sideways. He
saw that An Yunxi was squinting her eyes at this time, staring coldly at the scene of deep affection between mother and daughter in front of her.
An Yunxi, who had lived a new life, naturally knew the weak points of the queen.
Everything that happened today was a plot she had planned from the beginning
. She knew Ling Changning's temperament very well.
In the previous life, at this banquet, the maid named Xiaoying also accidentally fell, smashed a pot of flowers, and soiled Ling Changning's skirt.
Not long after, An Yunxi heard several maids talking about a little maid dying this morning.
At that time, she did not think that this was done by Ling Changning.
Later, after knowing Ling Changning's nature, An Yunxi deduced something from it.
According to the time when she heard the two maids talking, she roughly determined the time when Xiaoying would die.
She went to find the Imperial Concubine in person and told her about it, asking her to arrange for the maids to go ahead and rescue Xiaoying who was about to be killed, so that she could serve as a witness and expose Ling Changning's hypocrisy. After
the incident became serious, the Imperial Concubine took charge of the situation and forced the Empress to order the execution of Yuncui, who had done it. She took this opportunity to inform Yuncui that her brother and sister-in-law had died, so that Yuncui, who had completely lost her backbone, completely broke down her defenses and made public the evil deeds that Ling Changning had done for so many years!
Finally, she asked Ling Fengxun to arrange for someone to ask the Queen Mother to come forward in advance. The
Queen Mother was kind and could not tolerate any sand in her eyes. If she knew that someone in the harem had killed so many innocent palace people, she would definitely come forward.
Ling Changning will definitely end up badly.
Ling Changning is the weak spot of the queen. If the queen mother punishes Ling Changning, she will most likely take the blame.
The queen will think that she just admitted to the crime of killing a few palace maids and will not lose her position as queen. As long as she is lightly punished, the matter will be over.
But An Yunxi wants to say that this matter cannot be over
. She has spent so much effort to set up the trap. If she does not let the queen suffer a lot, isn't she doing it in vain?
It's not too much to abolish her position as queen!
If the prince knew about this, what would his expression be?
An Yunxi is looking forward to it.
The queen was the one that An Yunxi was targeting in the end
. In front of her, the queen lowered her head and chuckled, her expression normal.
"Queen Mother, as the queen, I also have the power to deal with the maids in the harem. For example, the maid who destroyed the tribute just now must be sentenced to death according to the palace rules. Why can't I kill her?"
She said it as a matter of course.
For someone of her status, those maids and eunuchs are like ants under her feet.
Not to mention that she, the queen, killed a few maids, even if it was the women of the official families below, if they offended her, she could find a reason to kill them.
A flash of anger flashed across the queen mother's brows.
"Empress, you are the mother of a country, how can you be so cruel to innocent people?"
The queen raised her eyes and looked at the queen mother.
"How does the queen mother know that they are innocent? I will show the crimes these people committed to the queen mother soon, or let the emperor see it and judge whether my punishment is right or not."
The queen mother was really angry.
However, what the queen did was indeed a trivial matter in the eyes of the people in the royal family.
A few palace maids and servants.
They died, so they died.
Could it be that the queen of a country could be deposed because of their lives?
Unless the emperor gave the order, even the queen mother would not have the power to punish her for this.
The queen is right. She has the power to manage the six palaces. The life and death of the concubines and servants in the six palaces are all in her hands.
Ling Fengxun's eyes narrowed slightly.
Then he quietly walked to An Yunxi's side.
He did not look at An Yunxi, but whispered in her ear.
"Xi'er, it may be difficult to overthrow the queen by relying on these palace maids."
At this time, An Yunxi quietly raised the corners of her lips.
Her eyebrows were bright, and the smile in her eyes became more and more intense.
"Prince, from the moment the queen took the initiative to take the blame for Ling Changning, this matter has become a foregone conclusion."
The smile on her face was as cunning as a fox, and incredibly beautiful.
Ling Fengxun, who turned his head to look at her, could not take his eyes away.
Such a little Xier, it seems that she has the ability to make people obsessed
. At this moment, the person who was still looking for the corpse in the garden suddenly shouted.
"There is another corpse here!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
The queen looked normal, even a little impatient.
No matter how many died, they were just servants. What difference would it make if there was one more or one less?
However, she heard someone behind her say: "This corpse seems to be a child!"
