Chapter 114 The Queen Mother is furious

When Du Heng heard about his sister, he calmed down instantly.

Yes!

The most important thing right now is Du Ruo.

As for Jiang Cheng, he can be dealt with at any time. After returning to Jiangnan, he will have plenty of ways to deal with him.

Thinking of this, Du Heng did not insist on being in a stalemate with Jiang Cheng, and left quickly with his men.

However,

in the harem, outsiders are not allowed to enter without being summoned.

Du Heng was anxious, but he could not even enter the gate of the harem.

At this moment.

Cining Palace. The

Queen Mother held the handkerchief and looked at Du Ruo.

"Girl, you mean, I fell down at that time, you saved me, and then you didn't pay attention to the handkerchief, and you only saw the handkerchief after you helped me into the house, right?"

Du Ruo didn't know why the Queen Mother was so serious all of a sudden.

But it was indeed so.

She nodded honestly.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath.

She looked at Qiao Yueying and asked: "Yueying, didn't you say that you saved me?"

"Tell me, who lied?"

Qiao Yueying knelt on the ground with a plop, her voice terrified: "Queen Mother, how dare I lie to you? When I found you, I didn't see anyone else."

"Queen Mother, please understand. I dare not lie. The maidservant beside me can testify to this."

"And the people in the Taoist temple can testify to this."

Qiao Yueying insisted that she didn't lie.

Anyway, except for this handkerchief, no one found out that Du Ruo had saved the Queen Mother.

On the contrary, she met many people along the way, and those people could testify for her.

Du Ruo didn't know what happened at first.

She just answered whatever the Queen Mother asked her.

But now, after hearing what Qiao Yueying said, she finally understood what she meant.

Du Ruo's eyes widened immediately: "You, how could you do this?"

"When I found the Queen Mother, I had just helped her into the room and was about to call for help when you came."

"You said you were a family member of the Queen Mother, so I handed her over to you."

"Now you say you haven't seen me."

Qiao Yueying heard this and snorted coldly: "Can anyone testify to what you said?"

"And that handkerchief, did you steal it?"

"It's just that it's been discovered now, so you made up such a lie?"

Du Ruo's face turned red with anger. She had never seen such a shameless person in her life.

Unfortunately, she was tongue-tied and didn't know how to refute it for a while.

She really didn't have any witnesses.

The incense room of the Taoist temple was occupied by nobles, and people generally didn't go to the incense room. She didn't bring a maid with her at the time.

She really couldn't find someone who could prove it.

Seeing that Du Ruo couldn't refute it, Qiao Yueying took advantage of the situation.

"Your Majesty, please judge. I have never lied. I can find someone from the Taoist temple to testify."

"It's this Miss Du. The story she made up is very exciting, but it's a pity that there are many loopholes. The Taoist temple is so big, there are so many people, but there is not a single witness."

These words made it impossible to refute for a while.

The Queen Mother looked at the well-protected handkerchief in her hand.

She looked at Du Ruo, who was at a loss, and frowned fiercely.

Could it be that she really thought too much? Is Du Ruo really such a scheming person? He

probably took her handkerchief away.

He deliberately showed off in front of her today.

If that were the case, it would be too scary!

Du Ruo looked at everyone in silence, and for a moment, she felt cold all over.

If she was considered to be someone who deliberately approached the Queen Mother, then it goes without saying what would happen to her.

The key is that she is plotting against the royal family, and the entire Du family might be implicated by her.

Du Ruo was so anxious that tears came out.

Qiao Yueying curled her lips.

Fortunately, she made detailed arrangements and deliberately went to crowded places, which resulted in many witnesses.

Xia Muyan didn't expect things to turn out like this.

She couldn't help but walk to Qiao Niannian.

"Niannian, what should we do now!" "

Qiao Yueying doesn't admit that she lied at all."

Everyone's mind was on Du Ruo and Qiao Yueying, and they didn't notice Xia Muyan standing aside.

But Xia Rongyu was right next to Xia Muyan. When he saw his sister walk up to Qiao Niannian and ask for her opinion, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

When.

Is the relationship between his sister and Qiao Niannian so good?

He also saw from Xia Muyan's eyes that his sister was dependent on Qiao Niannian.

Xia Rongyu understood Xia Muyan.

He had lived in the palace since he was a child, and his fate was tampered with, so his mother inevitably paid more attention to him and ignored the little girl.

This made Xia Muyan keep things in his heart and never tell outsiders.

But Xia Muyan just trusted Qiao Niannian wholeheartedly. They

had only met a few times, but he was able to give his heart to her.

Xia Rongyu's eyes fell on Qiao Niannian.

Perhaps, this is Qiao Niannian's own charm.

Xia Muyan really believes in Qiao Niannian.

No one else knows about the Eighth Princess except the maids around her.

She has not even told her mother and the Crown Prince.

But she told Qiao Niannian everything.

Since she said that.

Now when she sees Xia Chaoyan, she is no longer as irritable as before, as if she was smoothed out by something.

Every time she wants to lose her temper, she feels warm in her chest.

Xia Muyan knows that it is the talisman given by Qiao Niannian.

Now, seeing the talisman, Xia Muyan feels particularly relieved.

Not only did she not lose her temper because of Xia Chaoyan today, she also slapped her in the face hard, which made Xia Muyan extremely excited.

It is precisely because of this incident that Xia Muyan admires Qiao Niannian even more.

Now facing Qiao Yueying's problem, she couldn't help but ask Qiao Niannian for her opinion.

Qiao Niannian did not disappoint Xia Muyan, and she immediately raised a question.

"Miss Du, the Empress Dowager was unconscious at that time. Did you give her anything to eat?"

Du Ruo's eyes lit up when she heard this.

"My father was afraid that I would be in danger, so he would always carry Huiyuan Pills with him when he went out, so that he could save his life at a critical moment."

"When I saw that the Empress Dowager was unconscious, I fed her a Huiyuan Pill first."

The Empress Dowager immediately looked at Du Ruo and said in a deep voice: "Do you still have Huiyuan Pills?"

Du Ruo quickly untied a small bottle from her waist and poured out a Huiyuan Pill from it.

The maid beside the Empress Dowager took it and found that there was no problem before handing it to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager smelled it and instantly recognized the smell.

"Yes, this is the pill I took." The Queen Mother was

unconscious. After waking up, she saw Qiao Yueying. At that time, she felt a medicinal fragrance in her mouth.

At that time, she didn't think much about it, and thought that the doctor had fed her some pills.

Unexpectedly, it was Huiyuan Dan.

Qiao Yueying knew that she was finished.

She sat paralyzed on the ground, and the whole person seemed to have lost her soul.

Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Qiao Niannian with vicious eyes.

"Qiao Niannian, it's all your fault. Why do you have to talk so much? What good will it do you if I offend the Queen Mother?"
