The Han Kingdom envoy spoke with tears in his eyes, his attitude firm. "Before our prince left, he had a grudge against your Crown Prince's Consort. I heard that when they tried to parade our prince through the streets but failed, they killed him first. Please hand this woman over to your country!"
"Women are the most vicious. Our prince is not familiar with her. It was just that she was unable to parade him through the streets as she wished, so she came up with such a vicious plan!"
The Emperor cleared his throat. "I am aware of this matter, but I will not allow you to defile my country's Crown Prince's Consort! From what I know, she is kind-hearted and not the vicious person you claim her to be. It's just empty talk. If you want to accuse her, then produce evidence!"
He made his attitude clear and said he would never let the people from Han Country take Gu Yunni away.
The Imperial Preceptor even sided with Gu Yunni. "The Crown Prince's Consort's abilities are obvious to all. She has helped countless people and done so many good things. How could she be the vicious person you are talking about?"
"That's right. I heard about this. It was clearly the prince of Han Country who kidnapped our eldest princess. Your Majesty was merciful and let him go. Why is he blaming us for the accident?"
"That's right. The incident with the Han Kingdom's prince happened on the border. What does it have to do with us? Maybe it was done by spies who infiltrated our country just to provoke a dispute between the two countries!"
…
The court was bustling with activity, and Gu Yunni here also received the news.
She looked confused and pointed at herself, "Me? Can you blame me for this?"
She admitted that if the emperor had not taken action, she would have dealt with the evil man herself on behalf of the eldest princess.
But this time she was really wronged.
She received the order and had no choice but to go to the palace for confrontation.
However, as soon as she entered the palace, she was surrounded and the queen ordered her to be captured immediately.
"Capture this criminal girl! She dared to murder the prince and interfere with state affairs. Her crime is unforgivable."
Before Gu Yunni could explain, the queen put a big hat on her head, and the guards around her drew their swords and pointed them at Gu Yunni's neck.
Gu Yunni just stood there, looking at them with a sneer on her face.
The queen finally lost her patience. She had little contact with the queen and even had no impression of this "low-key" queen.
After all, every time she entered the palace, she came to see the imperial concubine and the emperor.
This time she suddenly jumped out, and no one knows what her intention is?
"Crown Princess, you have committed such a heinous crime. I must execute you and give an explanation to the envoys of the Han Kingdom and to the people of the world." The Queen smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
The thick makeup only made her look bloated, and her whole body exuded a vulgar air.
Gu Yunni sneered and asked in return, "It seems that the Queen doesn't have the right to execute me? I was summoned to the palace by the Emperor. Does the Queen think she can take charge of the government?"
"Bold!" The queen's face turned extremely ugly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Yunni became more and more ferocious.
"You killed the prince of Han Country, yet you still dare to speak so arrogantly here! I will make you pay the price!"
But how could Gu Yunni just sit there and wait for death? She spoke slowly.
"How could I possibly have the time to care about that cowardly prince? The Empress is so anxious to convict me, could it be that you're the mastermind behind this? His Majesty hasn't even given the order, yet you're so eager to punish me. I can't help but wonder if the Empress is trying to replace His Majesty."
"Nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing? Come on, take this arrogant woman away and give her a slap in the face!"
She was so angry that her chest kept heaving and her facial expression was distorted.
Gu Yunni was not at all flustered. "Your Majesty, please don't waste time. Instead of arresting me, why not go before His Majesty now? I believe His Majesty will give me justice."
"You!" The queen pointed at her and wanted to go up and hit her herself, but was fixed in place by a talisman paper from Gu Yunni.
"Empress, if you resort to lynching, you will be held accountable. I wonder how much power you have at your disposal?"
Gu Yunni sneered and reached out to help her tidy up her messy red hairpin. "Why does your majesty have to make such a mess? Don't you know what you shouldn't do?"
The queen was shocked by her behavior. Thinking of those who had fallen into Gu Yunni's hands, she suddenly felt a little scared.
"If you dare to touch me, you won't be able to leave alive today!"
"Why would I attack Her Majesty the Queen? I was just trying to help you tidy up your messy red hairpin out of kindness. Her Majesty, you really misunderstood me."
After saying that, she took a step back, but the queen still couldn't move.
"Gu Yunni, how dare you disrespect me? I'm the queen!"
"Everyone knows the identity of the Empress, so why do you have to shout so loudly?" The imperial concubine heard this voice as soon as she arrived at the palace gate, and her expression showed a little impatience.
She quickly walked to Gu Yunni's side and protected her behind her. "His Majesty has just issued an oral order to summon Yunni. The Queen's actions show that she doesn't take His Majesty seriously."
The queen glared at her fiercely, knowing that she had lost the initiative.
The imperial concubine was too lazy to pay attention to her. "Well, Your Majesty, you must be tired of standing. Go and rest. I will take this person away first."
After saying that, she no longer cared about the queen, turned around, took Gu Yunni and left.
Who in this palace doesn't know that the Queen is just an empty figure, and the Imperial Concubine still has the final say.
Seeing that Gu Yunni hadn't spoken a word the entire time, the imperial concubine thought she was afraid. "Yunni, don't worry. This Han Kingdom has many princes. If they really wanted peace, they wouldn't go to war over the death of one prince. Besides, His Majesty won't hand you over."
She was very disdainful of Han Guo's actions.
Gu Yunni frowned. "No matter what the reason, since the death of the Han Kingdom prince is blamed on me, I can't stay out of it..."
"His Majesty has already made preparations. You don't have to worry about it. You don't have to go to His Majesty's side. You just need to enter the palace and we will go through the formalities." The imperial concubine pulled her and found a place to sit down nearby.
"Your Majesty has already made arrangements? But if the Han Kingdom still refuses to give in, Your Majesty will be in trouble."
Gu Yunni shook her head helplessly. Killing the prince of Han Kingdom was a small matter; the real problem was how to deal with the aftermath.
"Just trust him. This man is reliable in this kind of thing."
The imperial concubine covered her lips and chuckled, not taking the matter to heart.
Compared to this, she had something more worrying, "Yun Ni, how is your relationship with Ming Yu lately? Is there any progress?"
She looked at Gu Yunni gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
Gu Yunni's face rarely showed a blush. It was not easy to talk about this matter in detail, so she just responded with a few words and then talked about other topics.
The imperial concubine saw that she was embarrassed, and she smiled softly as if she understood what was going on, and did not ask any further questions.
