Chapter 357 Dealing with the Empress
The little emperor Ling Changyue came in a dragon sedan chair.
As soon as he landed, he heard Xu Meir's shout.
Hu Lier sat next to the little emperor. Fortunately, the dragon sedan chair was very spacious, so it was not crowded even if two people sat down.
She looked inside with her shining eyes and saw how badly Xu Meir was beaten. She almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Fortunately, her acting skills were professional.
When she was in the brothel, Hu Lier had seen all kinds of scenes and was very determined.
"Your Majesty, the Empress seems to have been in trouble. Please go and see her."
Hu Lier was very tolerant and generous, which made people feel pity.
Even if the young emperor treated Hu Lier as a substitute, after such a long time, he found that she was gentle and considerate, with a very good personality and was especially caring and attentive to others, which made him somewhat dependent on Hu Lier.
"Yeah."
He got off the dragon chariot with a dark face, walked to the door, and then saluted Ling Fengxun.
Seeing that Xu Meir's face was swollen and An Yunxi was wiping her hands with a handkerchief next to her, it was clear that she must have been the one who beat her.
"I don't know why the emperor's uncle came to the palace today, and why he beat the pregnant queen?"
Ling Fengxun raised the corner of his lips and said coldly: "She was punished because she did something wrong."
His cold eyes shifted to Ling Changyue, causing Ling Changyue's body to stiffen.
Ling Fengxun suddenly raised his thin lips and smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you here to reason with me?"
Hearing this, Ling Changyue lowered his head even more fiercely. He
was even more annoyed. He didn't know what Xu Meir had done to dare to anger this evil god. He
finally settled down for such a long time, but the other party caused him trouble again!
"No matter what, the queen is pregnant with an heir. If she offended the emperor's uncle, I apologize to the emperor's uncle here, and I hope that the emperor's uncle can forgive her once."
The little emperor is very sensible now.
What he said was also polite and humble, without any loopholes.
He no longer dared to put his emperor's airs in front of Ling Fengxun.
People also remember to be beaten . After
being under house arrest for such a long time, the little emperor has figured out some things.
Ling Fengxun glanced to the side, his handsome face was not moved at all, his eyes were calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, why don't you ask what she did?"
The little emperor didn't care at all about what Xu Meir had done, he just wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Moreover, Xu Meir was pregnant, and even if Ling Fengxun was dissatisfied with her, he couldn't do anything to a woman with an heir.
But he couldn't say that, Ling Changyue still bit the bullet and asked, "Please give me some advice, uncle."
Ling Fengxun said, "She arranged a fake third son of the An family to go to the An family to recognize her relatives, intending to drive out the relatives that the An family had just found."
Upon hearing this, Ling Changyue was numb.
He looked at Xu Meir who was still crying in disbelief.
"Empress, how could you do such a thing?"
Xu Meir covered her face, her mouth was broken, and she felt a sharp pain when she opened her mouth.
"Your Majesty is wise. Is there any evidence to prove that it was my fault? You can't listen to the one-sided statement of the Regent King!"
Ling Changyue was furious.
By doing this, Xu Meir was touching An Yunxi's family!
Wanshitong was kicked by the guards behind him. He immediately crawled out and knelt down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have received one hundred taels of silver from the Empress!"
An Yunxi wiped her hands and walked in front of Ling Changyue.
That face looked even more beautiful under the light, especially the delicate skin on her cheeks. Even if you get closer, you can hardly see the pores.
It was as delicate and smooth as a shelled egg, which had been carefully cared for.
The fingers that had just been wiped by the handkerchief were slender and white, like the finest jade. An Yunxi raised her eyes, and her eyes were even more charming.
She snorted coldly and said, "If the emperor wants evidence, just check whether there is a shortage of one hundred taels of silver in the harem. This is not a small number."
Now the palace is tightening its belt.
All the things that Xu Meir brought with her were taken away, and all the expenses in the palace were paid from her monthly salary.
Every tael of silver must have a place in this palace. After all, because of the drought, the expenses in every palace were strictly controlled.
Suddenly, An Yunxi heard the voice of the Grand Empress Dowager behind her.
"Yunxi, let the Royal Concubine investigate this matter. She will definitely be able to give you an explanation."
Hearing this voice, everyone turned around and looked over.
They saw Royal Concubine Chu Jingshu walking over with the Grand Empress Dowager.
Obviously, the two of them also heard the news from the people in the harem, so they hurried over.
But they came, but it was not certain who would make the decision.
When she saw the Grand Empress Dowager, Xu Meir took a few quick steps and knelt in front of her.
Xu Meir was not too stupid, she knew that the emperor was not reliable at all.
She said in a panicked voice: "Grand Empress Dowager, please save Mei'er. Mei'er is pregnant with your great-grandson, who is the only heir to the throne of Beiling Kingdom!"
The Grand Empress Dowager frowned and looked at Xu Mei'er with a very unfriendly look.
She didn't like this woman in the first place, and now she was making trouble again, which made her dislike her even more.
If she hadn't been pregnant with the heir to the throne, she wouldn't even want to come here today.
What can Princess Nanqi do? Beiling Kingdom and Nanqi Kingdom have been enemies for many years. It is impossible for them to stop fighting because of a marriage. If a war really breaks out, she will be the first to suffer.
However, Xu Mei'er herself could not see through this.
"If it wasn't you who did it, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you, but if you really did something wrong, then wait until the child is born and punish you together."
Xu Meir's heart suddenly turned cold.
She tightened her fingers and grabbed the skirt of the Empress Dowager.
"Grand Empress Dowager, Meir is still the Princess of Nanqi. If you lay a hand on me, I will tell my father, and then he will definitely hold you accountable!"
Ling Fengxun said lightly: "Then let him do it."
Xu Meir's heart shuddered, looking at Ling Fengxun's indifferent expression, she felt a little regretful.
If she didn't use these tricks, maybe this group of people would not attack her so easily.
Recently, she did rely on her pregnancy to become fearless, but she didn't think about what would happen to her after the child was born.
Once fear grows, it will spread like wild weeds, growing all over her body.
The Dowager Concubine was not idle either. She immediately asked someone to check the expenses in the harem. It didn't take long for a clue to be found there.
Someone held an account book and said, "Dowager Concubine, we found out that a palace maid did take away 1,000 taels of silver in the name of the Empress yesterday."
"1,000 taels?"
The Dowager Concubine frowned, "What does she need so much silver for?"
"The Empress said she wanted to arrange for people to repair the palace and replace a batch of furnishings."
The Dowager Concubine raised her eyebrows and said, "Catch the people who took the silver. I guess they were bribed by the Empress."
"Yes."
There was no need to check anymore.
Xu Meir got 1,000 taels of silver, and these 100 taels were just a part of it.
Now that the harem has such strict control over money, she is still squandering it. It shows that there must be cat pee in it. No matter what the crime is, it is enough for Xu Meir to drink a pot of it.
The Queen Mother saw Xu Meir's pale face and stiff in place, and shook her head in disappointment: "Come, take her away and confine her to the palace. She is not allowed to go out before the child is born."
Upon hearing this, Xu Meir raised her head abruptly, and she suddenly stood up staggeringly, with a bit more sinister and fierce in her eyes.
"I'll see who dares to move!"
She pulled out the hairpin on her head, and then pointed it at her belly in front of everyone.
