Emperor Jingming was also troubled by this problem.

Although he is the emperor, he still has to take his old mother's feelings into consideration.

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother has woken up.

After all, old people are not as good as young people. The Queen Mother summoned the imperial physician last night because of the pain in her hand. Although she took some tranquilizer and fell asleep, she still looked a little listless.

The arrival of Emperor Jingming made the Empress Dowager feel a little unusual: "I remember that the Emperor should be in court at this time, why is he here?"

Emperor Jingming sat down beside the empress dowager, took a look at her face, and asked, "How did you sleep last night, mother?"

"I slept well." The Queen Mother frowned and quickened the pace of turning the Buddhist beads in her hand.

Emperor Jingming was silent for a moment, then said, "My son punished Rongyang today."

The Queen Mother stopped spinning her Buddhist beads and asked calmly, "What happened to Rongyang?"

The emperor used the word "punishment", which shows that Rongyang's mistake was not small.

The Queen Mother understood very well that the Emperor was a rare and benevolent emperor, and that the reason he punished Rong Yang must be because Rong Yang had gone too far.

"Mother Duo beside the Queen Mother is a Wu Miao—"

The empress dowager's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly thought of something: to be honest, she seemed to have not seen Nanny Duo since she woke up.

Aunt Duo was a servant who could enter the Queen Mother's room, but she was not always by her side, so her absence would not attract attention. Last night, Aunt Duo was ordered to visit the Fourteenth Princess, and she did not return all night. The people around the Queen Mother knew about it, but they had not reported it to her yet.

No one wants to cause trouble to the master just after he wakes up.

Emperor Jingming thought that there were some things that he couldn't hide from the Empress Dowager, so he said frankly, "In fact, my son has secretly sent people to investigate since Concubine Chen poisoned Fifteen, because it's impossible for a little beauty to get the weeds, there must be someone behind her... After a while, the investigation led to Nanny Duo. Just last night, Nanny Duo went to visit Fourteen, and sure enough, the fox's tail was exposed..."

The Queen Mother listened quietly and asked, "What does this have to do with Rongyang?"

At this point, she frowned, as if she had thought of something: "I remember now, it was Rongyang who recommended Madam Duo to the palace. Is the emperor blaming Rongyang for this?"

Emperor Jingming smiled bitterly: "If it was just to recommend Nanny Duo to enter the palace, my son would at most scold Rong Yang a few words, but there is no way he would punish her. Rong Yang got the poisonous insect from Nanny Duo and used it to kill the mother of Princess Yan, and she has been secretly raising the poisonous insect until now. It's not that I didn't give her a chance, but she refused to admit it..."

"How will the emperor punish Rongyang?"

Emperor Jingming paused.

He said so much just to prepare the empress dowager mentally so that the mother-son relationship would not be severed because of Rong Yang.

"My son has reduced Rongyang to a commoner."

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly.

Emperor Jingming was very worried.

The Queen Mother had no children in her life, so she adopted him and Rong Yang and treated Rong Yang like her own daughter. He was just worried that the Queen Mother would not be able to accept this fact.

The Queen Mother sighed, "Rongyang made such a big mistake, he really deserves to be punished, the Emperor did the right thing."

Emperor Jingming heaved a sigh of relief: "I'm glad that my mother doesn't blame me."

The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Jingming and said, "I am not old and confused yet, how can I blame you? But the Emperor was able to find out that Rongyang killed Princess Yan's mother. I wonder what role Princess Yan played in this?"

Emperor Jingming said: "It was thanks to Princess Yan that we were able to find out the troublemaker, Madam Duo, and find out the truth about Su's death."

The Queen Mother held the Buddhist beads tightly and said calmly, "The Princess of Yan is indeed a capable person. It was her credit that Fuqing was cured. Your Majesty, please don't forget it."

Emperor Jingming smiled and nodded: "My son remembers it all."

"Your Majesty was delayed in attending court because of Rongyang's affairs. This is not good. This should not happen again in the future."

"My son knows."

The Queen Mother moved her eyelids and said, "I am tired. Your Majesty, please go and do your work."

Emperor Jingming stood up and said, "Mother, you should take a good rest."

After Emperor Jingming left, the empress dowager threw the Buddhist beads bracelet to the ground.

The round sandalwood Buddhist beads hit the floor, making a crisp sound, and the beads scattered all over the floor.

Inside the Ci Ning Palace, everyone was silent.

After a while, the Queen Mother ordered the attendants to leave and asked the nanny she trusted, "Nanny Duo went to visit the Fourteenth Princess and never came back?"

"no."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips and asked, "Did anything unusual happen last night?"

The confidant nanny hesitated for a moment.

"Are you still going to hide this from me?"

The trusted nanny hurriedly said, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor has instructed not to mention it to you..."

The Queen Mother sneered: "Do you all think I'm dead? Are you waiting for the Emperor to suddenly come and tell me?"

The trusted nanny bowed her head and said, "Last night, you had a pain in your hand and called the imperial physician, who informed the emperor. The emperor and empress came over after you rested..."

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "The Emperor and the Empress came together?"

"yes……"

The Queen Mother frowned, her expression changed several times, and finally she sighed, "I am old."

It turned out that the so-called dispute between the emperor and the empress was just a show for her.

"Please help me go out for a walk. I need to get some fresh air."

In front of Princess Rongyang's door, several eunuchs stopped and reminded her, "Please pack up your things and move out as soon as possible. The emperor has only given one day. By this time tomorrow, the princess's mansion will be sealed off..."

Princess Rongyang glared at the eunuch who was speaking and shouted angrily, "Get lost!"

Seeing Princess Rongyang walking into the gate of the Princess Mansion in a daze, the eunuch spat on the ground: "Bah, you think you are still the high and mighty princess, what a bullshit!"

The Prince of Yan did a great job, and he decided to support the Prince of Yan more in the future.

Princess Rongyang walked forward along the familiar road.

The people in the Princess's Mansion had already received the news by now. They all looked pale and wanted to surround them but did not have the courage.

"Huizhen!" Princess Rongyang called out.

A middle-aged woman ran out in a hurry.

Princess Rongyang slapped him and asked in a sharp voice, "Are you dead? How did the eunuch find the insect?"

The middle-aged woman knelt down and sobbed at the feet of Princess Rongyang: "I don't know what's going on. As soon as you left, a group of eunuchs came and said they were ordered to search the princess's house. One of the eunuchs seemed to have opened his eyes and ran straight to my room and directly turned out the insect..."

"Impossible, how could there be such a person with the third eye!" Princess Rongyang said with a pale face.

Returning to her familiar home, she gradually calmed down, yet felt more and more desperate.

The imperial decree had been issued, and she had no way to ask the Queen Mother for mercy. It was probably hopeless for her to turn things around...

"Your Highness, let's pack up as soon as possible, otherwise all the items in the mansion will be confiscated."

Emperor Jingming still left Princess Rongyang a way to survive. At least he allowed her to take away some belongings from the mansion, which was enough for her to never have to worry about money for the rest of her life.

The people in the Princess's residence began to pack up in a hurry. When the sun was setting, a servant came hurriedly to report: "The general is here."
