Chapter 60 Jiujiu looked at Emperor Zhaoning anxiously

"Did Princess Eighteen order it?" Emperor Zhaoning expressed his doubt. "Princess Wen, please speak properly. My Queen is not the kind of person who tortures people indiscriminately."

"Your Majesty, I've become like this, and you're still protecting the Eighteenth Princess?" Princess Wen wiped her tears sadly and said aggrievedly, "You can't just indulge the Eighteenth Princess just because she's your biological daughter. Isn't there a saying that if a prince breaks the law, he's guilty as a commoner."

"The Eighteenth Princess ordered the dog to bite me today. This is private punishment and violates the criminal law of Western Chu."

"Your Majesty, please deal with this seriously and give me justice."

"hehe."

The words sound quite high-sounding.

Emperor Zhaoning was extremely disdainful. He snorted coldly and said, "You alone cannot decide what is right and wrong. Wait until my Jiujiu comes back and I will ask Jiujiu first."

"But……"

"Shut up." Emperor Zhaoning interrupted domineeringly, "I don't want to listen."

Princess Wen didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the tone Emperor Zhaoning used when speaking to her at this moment was completely different from the tone he used when she first entered the palace to pay her a visit a few days ago.

Today's tone made her feel that Emperor Zhaoning seemed to suddenly dislike her for something!

That's why he didn't even want to listen to her.

Is it because she said that Princess Eighteen ordered the dog to bite her?

Not really!

In her impression, Emperor Zhaoning would not bother with her over such a small matter.

Besides, she is the victim and she is badly injured, so nothing can be said too much.

Or maybe she was overthinking it!

That should be it!

Princess Wen comforted herself in this way.

Soon, Jiujiu and Nanny Gui and her group caught up.

Jiujiu is a small child, and after running such a long distance, he was out of breath and a little tired.

After Jiujiu stopped, he bent over, put his hands on his legs, and kept gasping for breath.

Emperor Zhaoning and the Empress Dowager hurried forward and asked with concern: "Good Jiujiu, why are you so tired?"

Jiujiu waved his hands and said nothing.

Emperor Zhaoning picked Jiujiu up and held her in his arms. "Rest in your father's arms."

"Thank you, Father."

After resting for a while, Jiujiu finally recovered some strength.

Emperor Zhaoning asked, "Jiujiu, can you tell me why Da Huang bit Princess Wen like that?"

Princess Wen wanted to say that there was no reason, it was just Jiujiu who ordered it. Jiujiu was a bad boy who was spoiled and acted recklessly. He needed to be severely punished, taught a lesson, and set rules.

But before she could open her mouth, Emperor Zhaoning looked at her with a warning look, which said, "Shut up, or you will bear the consequences."

“……”Princess Wen shut up.

Jiujiu explained: "It's because she wanted to steal Jiujiu's purse."

"I didn't!" Princess Wen denied: "What's so good about your shabby purse? Besides, I'm an adult, why would I steal a child's purse?"

Emperor Zhaoning and the Queen Mother also looked at Jiujiu in confusion.

I don’t understand why Princess Wen stole Jiujiu’s purse?

Princess Wen is an adult after all, is she that boring?

Could it be that Jiujiu made a mistake?

【Jiujiu was not mistaken.】

[It is written in the book that Princess Wen's mother, after being poisoned, had to use all kinds of precious medicines to save her life because the poison had not yet been cleared from her body. She also sought antidote prescriptions everywhere.]

[There is a prescription that can cure all kinds of poisons in Jiujiu's purse. Princess Wen must have heard of this news from somewhere, so she came to steal Jiujiu's purse.]

[But how can Jiujiu tell such a fact? After all, this is all in the book, Jiujiu herself doesn't know it. If Jiujiu speaks out rashly, she might be regarded as a monster.]

Jiujiu scratched his head and tried to think of a solution.

After hearing Jiujiu's thoughts, Emperor Zhaoning and the Empress Dowager knew what to do.

Emperor Zhaoning said, "What is there to snatch? Haha, Princess Wen, how can you say such a thing? Aren't you trying to clear the remaining poison in your mother's body, so you want to snatch the prescription that can cure all poisons from Jiujiu's purse?"

The Queen Mother added: "How dare you say that Jiujiu ordered the dog to bite you? If you hadn't taken Jiujiu's things, would the dog have bitten you to protect its master? You clearly brought this upon yourself."

Princess Wen: “…”

how so?

The people she sent out to inquire said that although the emperor and the queen mother knew her mother's situation, they didn't know that Jiujiu's purse contained a prescription that could cure all kinds of poisons. That's why she dared to rob without scruples after trying to please them in vain.

How do they know now?

Did you also think that she stole the prescription in order to detoxify her mother?

Princess Wen didn't know how to defend herself.

She bit her lip in confession.

Jiujiu looked at Emperor Zhaoning in confusion.

[How did my cheap dad know that Jiujiu's purse contained a prescription that could cure all kinds of poisons? ]

[Jiujiu didn't tell my cheap dad! ]

[Except for the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital, no one else knows.]

[Can my cheap dad hear Jiujiu's thoughts? ]

【Ahhh, no way! 】

Jiujiu looked at Emperor Zhaoning uneasily.

Emperor Zhaoning coughed twice, as if he was sighing: "Fortunately, I heard from the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital that Jiujiu had a treasure that could detoxify. Otherwise, I would not know how to deal with this Princess Wen."

【I see! 】

[The Imperial Medical Bureau’s doctor is a big mouth and tells everything.]

The deputy director of the Imperial Hospital, who was dispensing medicine at the moment, suddenly sneezed twice in succession. He murmured, "Who is thinking about me?"

Emperor Zhaoning said again: "Fu'an, go and bring up everything you found."

It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Since he has already found out everything about the Thirteenth Prince, he will talk about it today.

After that, Princess Wen was punished for several crimes.

"yes."

Fu'an handed over a number of letters that the Blood Dropper had found from Princess Wen to Emperor Zhaoning.

Emperor Zhaoning held Jiujiu in one hand, took the letter with the other hand and smashed it directly on Princess Wen's face.

"And these letters, how do you explain them? Hmm?"

"Back then, the Queen Mother, I, the Queen was poisoned by Concubine Qing, but Concubine Qing bribed you, so you helped Concubine Qing to give false testimony, accusing the Thirteenth Prince of poisoning, and eventually the Thirteenth Prince was imprisoned."

"Over the years, Qing Fei has threatened and blackmailed you with this matter, and also left these letters behind."

"Do you really think you can hide it from everyone?"

“…”

Princess Wen stared in a daze at the letters that hit her head and finally fell to the ground. These letters were secret letters exchanged between her and Concubine Qing over the years, and most of them were Concubine Qing extorting money from her.

Because it was not a glorious thing, Qing Fei was very careful every time she sent her a letter. She applied a kind of potion on the letter to hide the words on it. After she received the letter, she would apply the special potion again so that the words on the letter would be displayed.

But after she reads it, she usually lets it dry, allowing the words on the letter to disappear again.

They did it so secretly that generally no one would know the contents of their correspondence.

How did the emperor find these letters?

And the letter showed the handwriting?

"It's fake, it's all fake, Your Majesty, you slandered me!" Princess Wen didn't want to be blamed after the truth was exposed, so she argued in panic: "Your Majesty, you favor Concubine Li and the princess, and for their sake, you want to release the Thirteenth Prince, so you slandered me like this."
