Kunning Palace.
"I pay my respects to my mother."
Ling Yue bowed slightly, her voice soft and gentle, her posture respectful and humble.
The queen sat on a high seat, looking indifferently at Ling Yue below, and felt that she seemed to be becoming more gentle and decent.
"Stand up and sit down."
The queen raised her hand gently, her tone unhurried.
"What business does Crown Princess have with me at this time?"
The queen sat upright on the phoenix chair with a dignified and majestic posture. The palace maid beside her was very considerate and immediately began to serve tea.
"Mother, during this period of time, I may not be able to continue to learn from you about managing the affairs of the East Palace backyard."
Ling Yue raised his head, his eyes dim and full of loss.
"Oh? What happened?"
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, a puzzled look on her face.
"My mother should also know that last time, when Your Highness went to Huamei Residence to visit Lin Liangyuan, the maid Qingzhi in the Concubine's Palace asked Your Highness to leave, saying that the Concubine had a headache."
The queen nodded slightly, she naturally knew it.
Now she really couldn't understand her son. When he liked the Crown Princess, he married her immediately and didn't take a concubine for two years. The Queen thought he loved the Crown Princess so much.
But after marrying the concubine, he has been favoring her alone for the past few months.
The Crown Princess was neglected. No one knew whether it was because she had fallen out of favor and therefore began to care about the Eastern Palace's palace power and came to Kunning Palace almost every few days, or because she was obsessed with palace power and was therefore disliked by the Crown Prince.
When the queen thought of this, she couldn't help but frown and secretly complain in her heart.
Her son is a romantic man. Every time he likes a woman, he will only be obsessed with that one person. But when the liking for her fades, he will like the next one. He is really unpredictable.
"It is indeed the concubine who did something wrong in this matter."
The queen narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression was cold and her tone was calm.
"No, mother, His Highness said that the concubine did not admit to sending Qingzhi to Huameiju."
Ling Yue quickly shook her head.
"So, Your Highness arrested Aokiji and took him to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, but... but Aokiji said that it was all my orders."
When Ling Yue said this, her voice was obviously choked with sobs.
The queen frowned tightly, and her expression became more solemn.
"What evidence can you produce, Prince?"
"No, it's just that... the prince found contraceptive drugs from Aokiji, and the concubine's body also showed traces of taking contraceptive drugs for a period of time after being treated by Imperial Doctor Li."
Ling Yue sniffed and tried to keep her voice steady.
When the queen heard the word "contraception", her face instantly turned angry.
“Bold!”
She shouted angrily, her eyes full of majesty and anger.
Seeing that the queen was angry, Ling Yue quickly stood up and knelt down.
"Mother, I know that before the new bride entered the Eastern Palace, there were only me and the concubine in the Eastern Palace, so I am the most suspicious person. However, I really never gave the concubine contraceptive drugs, and Your Highness has not found any evidence that Aokiji has any relationship with me."
Ling Yue's voice was trembling, and her face was full of sincerity.
"I have no way to defend myself now, and Your Highness has also taken back my power to manage the affairs of the East Palace. I only wait for Your Highness to find out the truth and clear my name."
Ling Yue raised his head, his eyes were firm and clear, and he looked upright.
The queen has been in charge of the harem for so many years, and the women in the harem are all good at disguise. She never believes anyone's one-sided words and only looks at the solid evidence.
However, it was unfair for the Crown Prince to remove the Crown Princess' power without any evidence, and it also undermined his prestige as the Crown Prince.
Did he want to let everyone know that the Crown Prince was obsessed with women and punished the Crown Princess for no reason?
When the queen thought of this, she was indeed dissatisfied with the prince's behavior.
What the royal family values most is face!
But since the prince has made such a decision, the queen naturally has to protect the prince's face.
"Princess Consort, please stand up. The Crown Prince should not be doing this for the concubine, but for the heir. Giving a woman contraceptive drugs is really abominable. It is okay to be more cautious."
The queen raised her hand slightly and spoke with a slightly slower expression.
After hearing what the Queen said, Ling Yue slowly stood up, staggering a little, and sat back in her seat.
"What the Queen Mother said is true. I will not blame Your Highness for taking back the power, and I don't care. I only want the best for Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Ling Yue nodded slightly, her eyes were sincere and firm, her expression was gentle and soft.
"It's just that the contraceptive drugs in the concubine's body have not been completely eliminated yet, and Doctor Li is still conditioning the concubine's body. However, Your Highness has never set foot in the bedrooms of other sisters. This..."
Ling Yue bit her lip lightly, frowned slightly, and showed an embarrassment on her face.
"As the Crown Princess, many of my sisters have asked me about this matter when they came to pay their respects this morning. I don't know what to do, so I can only ask my mother to make the decision."
Ling Yue's tone was full of helplessness and worry, and she looked at the queen expectantly.
She was virtuous and generous, and every word she spoke was for the Crown Prince's offspring, as well as for the other concubines in the Eastern Palace.
"It's great that the Crown Princess has this idea."
The queen nodded slightly, a look of relief on her face.
"I am usually busy managing the affairs of the six ministries in the harem and neglect the Eastern Palace. I didn't expect that the concubine would enter the Eastern Palace now, and the prince would not favor any of her?"
The queen's face darkened again.
I heard before that the prince went to Lin Liangyuan, and although he was asked to go back by the concubine, the queen thought that the prince was not opposed to favoring other women, so she was not particularly concerned about the prince's backyard. As long as he was willing to favor him, there would always be one woman who could give birth among these women.
But more than ten days have passed, and all seven newcomers have entered the palace, but not one of them has been favored yet!
