Two guards came over, escorting two servants with their heads bowed.
Jiang Mengli pointed at the two of them and said firmly, "They have already admitted it. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Queen Mother."
"No!" Cheng Jiaojiao shook her head. "Don't believe it, Queen Mother. This is definitely someone she found randomly."
She just looked carefully and found that she didn't know these two people at all. They were not the ones she had asked to come last night.
One of the thin men raised his head and said, "My Lady Concubine, why are you so disloyal? It was you who said the prince was useless and asked us to spend the night with you."
The slightly overweight man also agreed, "Exactly. In order to avoid being discovered, you even made questionable chicken soup for the prince and the others to drink, and even told us that it didn't matter how crazy it was."
The thin man said: "We each received ten taels of silver from you. You said that one person can't satisfy you. We have to take turns. I still have the silver."
As he said this, he took out ten taels of silver ingots from his pocket.
Facing the accusations from the two, Cheng Jiaojiao was speechless.
I knew clearly that it was nonsense, but I had no idea how to refute it.
"No, that's not the case!" Cheng Jiaojiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "You are talking nonsense. I don't know you!"
Lu Yun also spoke up for her master, "This is all the princess's conspiracy. The silver must have been given by the princess. Your Majesty, please don't believe it. It wasn't them at all."
After she said this, everyone present looked at her in surprise.
She also realized that she had said the wrong thing, and her heart couldn't help but tremble. She explained in a panic, "No...that's not what I meant. I mean that I don't know them at all and have never seen them."
Jiang Mengli sneered, "You said it wasn't them, so who were they? Why would they go to Princess Jinping's house to do such a thing? I'm very curious about all this."
When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart skipped a beat. If she continued to investigate along this line, there was no guarantee that Cheng Jiaojiao would be able to hide the truth.
"I...I..." Cheng Jiaojiao felt a little guilty. After hesitating for a while, she grabbed the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, don't believe her. This is all a conspiracy. She tricked me into going there."
"She tore my clothes, pretending to be humiliated, and then bribed these two servants to slander me."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and said softly, "Of course I believe you."
"Still don't believe it?" Jiang Mengli chuckled softly and said helplessly: "It doesn't matter, let's check her body. Cheng Jiaojiao was a virgin before she entered the mansion. The prince has never touched her."
The entire front yard became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Cheng Jiaojiao's face was pale and she felt weak all over. She had lost all her confidence.
Jiang Mengli continued, "It's a good opportunity to examine Princess Jinping's health as well. This is what the Empress Dowager is looking forward to."
"Don't be too anxious." The Queen Mother knew that both attempts had failed, and if she did a physical examination, it would make Jiang Mengli happy.
At this time, Wen Mohan said, "Just do as the princess wishes. Yunying, go and ask Aunt Qiu to come over. She is an old lady who served the late emperor and will not favor anyone."
Nanny Qiu lives in the capital and is over seventy years old.
A quarter of an hour later, Nanny Qiu walked into Prince Yu's Mansion supported by Yunying.
I didn't dare accept her greeting, so when I saw her about to bow, I immediately stepped forward to support her and said, "Madam Qiu, there's no need to be so polite."
Aunt Qiu smiled and said in an old, hoarse voice, "It's been a long time since I last saw you. I heard you wanted me to examine two young ladies. I wonder which two they are?"
The Queen Mother said: "One, is..."
"Madam Qiu, it's my prince's concubine and Princess Jinping." Wen Mohan interrupted the Queen Mother, "Someone, ask Princess Jinping to come out."
Soon Princess Jinping came to the front yard accompanied by Lian'er.
When she saw the Queen Mother, she still reluctantly lowered her eyes and saluted, "Granddaughter pays her respects to the Imperial Grandmother."
The Queen Mother did not respond, but just gave him a cold look.
The room for physical examination was chosen in the nearest side room of Lanxiangyuan, and everyone came to Lanxiangyuan to wait.
Cheng Jiaojiao didn't want to go in, but was dragged in anyway.
The Queen Mother was outside, feeling uneasy and thinking of countermeasures.
Not long after, the door was opened. Nanny Qiu frowned slightly and sighed, "The concubine of Prince Yu is not innocent. Not only is she not wearing anything underneath, she is also wearing something dirty."
"That spot is a little red and swollen, and a little torn. There are also marks on the leg. I guess last night was pretty wild. I'm over seventy years old, and I've seen this before. It's really outrageous."
At this moment, the Queen Mother did not care whether she was innocent or not, she only cared about the outcome of Wen Jinping.
So he asked, "Is that Princess Jinping?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiu smiled faintly, "The princess is a royal princess, she is chaste and pure. She is definitely innocent and intact. Don't worry, Queen Mother."
Rumble
It was like a bolt from the blue, and the empress dowager's head was buzzing.
He had been imprisoned in Lion Head Ridge for nearly a month and a half, but he was still innocent.
How is that possible?
Jiang Mengli looked at the Queen Mother with a smile on her face and said, "Princess Jinping is safe and sound. I'm sure the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor are the happiest. After all, one is my grandmother and the other is my biological father."
Her words brought the Queen Mother back to her senses. She forced a smile and nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's natural. We hope more than anyone else that Jinping is safe and healthy."
A moment later, Yunying personally saw Nanny Qiu off.
The atmosphere in Lanxiang Courtyard grew chilly, and the Queen Mother's expression grew increasingly unsightly.
Jiang Mengli smiled and said, "Empress Dowager, do you remember what you said in the palace? From now on, I will call you Mother."
The Queen Mother glanced at him and snorted coldly, "I am old and my memory is not very good."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Mohan spoke lazily, "It doesn't matter if the Queen Mother has a bad memory. It's fine as long as we remember it, and as long as everyone in the capital remembers it."
"You..." The Queen Mother's face turned pale with anger. She took a deep breath and sneered, "Good, very good. You are really a filial son. You made such a small matter known to everyone."
Suddenly there was a loud "bang".
When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and found that it was Cheng Jiaojiao stumbling and running out like a madman.
She rushed straight towards the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, please save me, please don't ignore me."
When the Queen Mother saw her rushing towards her, she immediately moved away in disgust. "You are so fickle, yet you still want me to save you? You are dreaming."
Cheng Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment and stared at her in amazement.
Who is responsible for this?
It's all to carry out the orders she gave!
Now he has turned his back on me.
"Your Highness, Aunt Qiu is lying!" Cheng Jiaojiao fell to her knees and grabbed the hem of her skirt. "I... I'm innocent, really."
The Queen Mother felt more and more disgusted the more she looked at it, and immediately took a step back. "There are witnesses and evidence, and you still want to quibble."
ah……
"Liar..." Cheng Jiaojiao screamed like a madman, "You big liar, all this is clearly you..."
"Shut up!" The Queen Mother was extremely flustered and interrupted him sternly, "Come here, cover her mouth and take her away!"
