Chapter 408: Finding Witnesses
The queen's face suddenly darkened.
If Lin Qianning is the woman she hates most in her life, Qingwu ranks second, and Changning is the third.
"She even dared to come to the palace to ask the Empress for an explanation for some baseless nonsense. Princess Changning is still as rude and arrogant as ever."
Tu Dao was angry, and then he flattered her, "My Lady, is there anything I can do for you?"
The Queen waved her hand. "You've already said it. There's no evidence. What can she accuse me of? It's just asking for a beating."
As if she had thought of something, she asked again, "Go and verify whether the people who handled that matter for Cha Yao have been dealt with?
Don't let Xiao Pei slip away like last time, and not only that, you also saved that little thing."
The butcher knife quickly responded.
There was another person who did this. At that time, he was not the most useful person around the Queen. It was because that person did not guard Xiao Pei well enough and something went wrong, so he was sentenced to death by the Queen. He then replaced that person.
He and the Empress have been in the same boat for a long time. Only when the Empress is well will his future be good, so he dare not slack off.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Go down. Don't make any more mistakes. The Crown Prince's Mansion will also keep an eye on you."
After Tu Dao dodged and left, the queen left the bedroom.
The dusty woman, after performing the rituals of monarch and subject, said bluntly, "Your Majesty, Changning has something I would like to ask you to explain."
The Queen saw that Princess Changning, who was younger than herself, had white hair on her temples. She felt inexplicably relieved and smiled, "You say."
"Changning wants to know why Cha Yao said that it was the Empress who ordered him to steal my child."
The weathered woman, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, stared at the queen.
When the Queen was a girl, she didn't like the way Changning looked at her, as if he could see through people's hearts.
But now she is the one who reigns supreme over Feng Zhao. She slowly leaned back on the dragon throne, supporting her head with her hands, "I also want to know. Crazy people are always a little baffling.
Speaking of which, I'd like to ask the old lady how she managed to turn a court official into a fool."
But she had a guess in her mind that the now stupid Xiao Pei and Lin Qianning, who had been a puppet for decades, were both known to the mysterious art.
Perhaps, Cha Yao's madness was caused by Wei Qingyan.
It was also because of her carelessness. She didn't expect that the little thing was not dead, but also became Shi Yu's bodyguard by accident, and followed Feng Zhao, and her people were completely unaware of it.
Now Shi Yu has the support of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but there is no need to be afraid.
By then, Shi Yu will be convicted, and these old, weak, sick and disabled families will have completely disappeared from this world, and no one will be able to bother her anymore.
Chang Ning looked at the elegant woman sitting on the dragon throne, murderous intent surging in his heart, "Have you heard a word, Your Majesty?
Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Chang Ning couldn't understand why Cha Yao didn't bite others.
"presumptuous."
An eunuch hurried forward and shouted, "Princess Changning, don't you even know the basic hierarchy between the ruler and his subjects?
Come, Princess Changning disrespected the Empress and will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane to teach her a lesson."
The eunuch dared to say this, of course he had the Queen's permission.
Unexpectedly, Princess Changning shouted even louder than him, "You are the one who is presumptuous."
Changning glared with her almond-shaped eyes, and her eyes, which had experienced many vicissitudes of life, were filled with majesty and ruthlessness. At the same time, the hairpin on her head shot straight into the eunuch's heart like lightning.
Looking at the eunuch who died with his eyes wide open, she sneered, "I am the Princess Changning, personally appointed by the late emperor. When will it be your turn as a eunuch to yell at me?"
"Changning, you are so bold..."
"Your Highness, the servants around you are only servants after all, not the masters of this imperial city. Changning is a princess after all, so how can a servant like him punish her at will? If this gets out, it will be a joke.
God has mercy on me and sent my son back to Fengzhao. Changning has been searching for her son for many years, and everyone knows the pain in her heart.
What mother who had lost her child many years ago would not ask about it after hearing what Cha Yao said?
If she was beaten with a stick just because Changning asked a question, wouldn't it make people think that the queen was guilty or petty?
This dog slave couldn't understand such a simple truth, and almost ruined the image of the Queen in the hearts of the people. Your Majesty, tell me, should he die?
Before the Queen could even begin to speak, Qing Wu, who had hurried in, spoke first. "Changning, it's been years since we last met. How come you're still so thoughtful and considerate?"
Queen, “…”
Qing Wu hit Chang Ning on the forehead with her round fan, "Don't do this next time. The Queen will control her own servants.
Although you have good intentions, you are still meddling in other people's affairs. If you meet someone who doesn't know what's good for them, they will be grateful to you. But if you meet someone who doesn't know how to be grateful, they will probably hold a grudge against you."
Queen, “…”
Yes, she had no restraint, and she did it on purpose.
But do they just ignore her as the queen?
The queen was extremely angry.
But she didn't see Qingwu, who had her back to her, and silently said to Changning, "There's a long way to go. Your son is outside."
Changning was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening and quickly bowed to the Queen. "It was Changning who was reckless. Please don't blame me, Your Majesty."
After returning home, she learned the truth from the housekeeper. She originally wanted to go see her son, but she felt shy because she was near the prince's mansion.
The culprit who caused them to be separated for many years and made Ling'er suffer so much is still living leisurely in the palace. How can she have the face to see her son?
It can be seen that Qingwu's forehead is covered with sweat. I'm afraid he is worried that something happened to her, so he rushed here. There is also his mother in the Dali Temple and his son waiting outside the palace.
Changning showed a trace of guilt, he shouldn't have made them worry.
When Qingwu came, she was afraid that Changning would be impulsive, but after hearing what she said to the Queen, she felt relieved.
He quickly replied, "You don't have to worry about that. The Queen has always been kind and benevolent, and has a good reputation. How could she hold a grudge against you when she knows you're doing this for her own good?
However, you, having just returned to the Imperial City and without even seeing my mother and son, rushed to the palace to help the Empress. You are truly worthy of being the Princess Changning, personally conferred upon me by my father. You are truly righteous."
Queen, “…”
She really wanted to just ignore the consequences and have the two women who were singing the same tune in front of her be skinned alive.
But those two guys had already said all the words. If she really punished them now, she would be labeled as guilty.
But after the two left, she instructed the secret guards, "When you snatch Posha, take Jingzhe's life as well."
By then, she would like to see whether Changning's eloquence can still be so sharp and his attitude can still be so arrogant.
As for Qing Wu, after dealing with Shi Yu, she will settle all the old and new accounts together.
Qing Wu covered her face with her round fan and sneezed. She tugged at Chang Ning's arm and whispered, "You made such a fuss today. The old witch must be plotting against us again."
"Thank you, Qingwu."
Chang Ning apologized, "I'm sorry that she hated you."
Qing Wu didn't care. "Too many lice won't itch. I don't need you to do this. I'm just worried that she will attack your mansion."
Before Jingzhe disappeared, it was very difficult for her to fight against the queen alone, and it was thanks to Changning who helped her everywhere. Perhaps this was also the reason why the queen stole Changning's child.
Now that Changning is in trouble, how can she just stand by and watch?
Changning also knew that he had been impulsive.
But, "Qingwu, I feel sad. If I don't come here, I won't be able to see my son."
Qing Wu thought about it and could understand. She glanced at the white hair on Chang Ning's temples and sighed, "You've suffered a lot over the years. Lin Wanzhi is really a disaster."
Thinking of that scourge, she also recalled the news she had just learned, so she stood on tiptoe and whispered in Changning's ear, "Qian Ning is also alive, but in a very bad condition. It was also Lin Wanzhi's fault."
Changning came to the palace as soon as she got home and didn't know about this. After being stunned, she was surprised when she heard it.
It’s good to be alive, as long as you are alive there is hope.
She had a good relationship with Lin Qianning before she got married, but she later went to the Chilie border with her father. When Lin Qianning got into trouble, she was not in the imperial city, and later she married in another place.
When there was news of Lin Qianning again, she had already been executed for treason.
After breaking up with her husband's family and returning to the capital, she learned from Qingwu that Lin Qianning had lost her innocence and had hidden in the ancestral temple to give birth to a child.
For this, she felt very guilty that she couldn't be by Lin Qianning's side when she was in trouble.
Qingwu told Changning about this because she knew what she was thinking. After all, she would know about leaving the palace later.
It's fate. Who would have thought that Lin Qianning's son would save Changning's son? When Changning knows the truth in the future, I'm afraid he will be even happier.
Qingwu was thinking about something when Changning held her hand.
Changning's rough fingertips wrote on her palm. This was a game they often played when they were young and it was inconvenient to talk.
Qing Wu quickly calmed her mind and read the words Chang Ning had written word by word in her mind, "I ~found ~the ~witness ~who ~identified ~her~."
