Hongjuan lay on the ground, tears crackling on the ground, she didn't know if she should tell the truth. But if she doesn't say it, what will her people and benefactors do?

The emperor patted the case, "Do you say it or not?"

Hongjuan trembled with fright, and she kept kowtowing, "The slave maid has no intention of hurting Mrs. Dong, the slave maid just wants to take Mrs. Dong to a place where no one is, and the slave maid only wants to die." ”

The emperor glanced at the hall, and Deputy Commander Hu lowered his head and retreated. Wang Xi took the palace people in the palace and then retreated.

At this moment, in addition to the emperor, there are only three people left in the palace: Dong Ruyi, Zhang Fuhai, and Zhang Yi.

The emperor said: "Tell me what you know, who are you instructed by, and what is the purpose of instructing you?"

The hall was silent, only the sound of Hongjuan's sobs.

Dong Ruyi stood aside and watched his nose and nose, and the emperor retreated, that is, he wanted to ask clearly.

The emperor slapped angrily and said, "Say, was it instructed by Concubine Xian, or was it instructed by the queen?"

Hongjuan shook her head desperately, and just when the emperor's patience was running out, Wang Xi ran in, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." ”

The emperor said coldly: "What is she doing here?" he said and looked at Hongjuan who was kneeling on the ground, "It's the queen's doing, right." Without waiting for Hongjuan to answer, the emperor said: "Pass." ”

Wang Xi stepped back, and at this moment his forehead was already covered with dense fine sweat. What did the emperor mean by his words? And Ruyihou, did she already know that it was the queen's mother? But that was the queen, how could Ruyihou think that it was the queen's mother?

Dong Ruyi's brows furrowed, and Hongjuan's surprised expression was too strange. She knelt down and said, "Uncle Huang is angry, don't misunderstand the queen mother." ”

The emperor also frowned, "Do you think it's not the queen?" Of course he hoped that the person was not the queen, but now all the evidence points to the queen and the virtuous concubine, and the seven princes of the virtuous concubine are not favored.

The queen walked in, and she saluted, "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." She knelt down as she spoke.

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the others to step back, and he wanted to ask for clarity in person.

Zhang Yi clenched his fists, then picked up Hongjuan and walked out.

Dong Ruyi looked at the queen and turned her head away.

Zhang Fuhai was the last to retreat outside the hall, and after he withdrew, he closed the door of the palace.

The emperor didn't go to help the queen, he said directly: "Queen, I have been married to you for many years, I just want you to tell the truth." What Hongjuan did yesterday, did you instigate it?"

The queen looked at the emperor, her voice was calm, "What does Your Majesty think?"

The emperor was silent, Dong Ruyi's words came to his ears, he walked to the queen, and then helped him up, "Get up and talk!"

At this moment, the door of the temple opened, and Qiao Xi walked in with a tray.

Due to the light problem, Qiao Xi arrived closer, and the emperor saw the thing on the tray clearly-phoenix seal.

He let go of the queen's hand, pointed at the phoenix seal and said, "This is what the queen wants to say with me?"

The queen knelt down again, "Your Majesty trusts the concubine, and the concubine is content." The concubine ...... "Before the queen finished speaking, Zhang Fuhai's voice came from outside the hall, "Prince, you can't go in, Your Majesty is in the same ......"

The prince rushed in, and Zhang Fuhai followed closely. Zhang Fuhai knelt down and said: "The slave is useless, I didn't stop His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The prince knelt down and said: "Father, it was the son who did it, don't blame the wrong queen mother." ”

The queen looked at the crown prince, she slowly closed her eyes, I am afraid that there is no room for turning back in this matter.

The emperor was silent, he was shocked by the prince's words. This sensible, benevolent and filial son would do such a thing.

His body shook involuntarily.

The queen said nervously: "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon body." ”

The emperor laughed angrily, "I feel strange, you have always been thoughtful in doing things, how can you be so indiscriminate, it turns out that you are guilty of this rebellious son, and you really have a deep love between mother and son!"

The queen prayed: "Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine's explanation......"

The emperor interrupted the queen's words, "I don't want to listen to you, you, tell me in detail." He said and pointed to the prince.

The crown prince kowtowed to the emperor three times, and then said: "The son disappointed his father, if it weren't for the son, Mrs. Dong would not have had a difficult birth, fortunately, Mrs. Dong's mother and son are safe." Please ask the father to dispose of his son!"

The emperor said angrily: "Zhang Fuhai, take him down for me." ”

The queen stood in front of the crown prince, "Your Majesty, there is another inside story in this matter, please listen to the prince's words." ”

The emperor walked out, "Spread Ruyihou, what the truth is, it is all up to Ruyihou to decide." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Fuhai hurriedly went to help the emperor. When he held the emperor, he found that the emperor's body trembled terribly.

The queen sat paralyzed on the ground, and the emperor was so angry that he didn't even want to listen?

The crown prince stepped forward to help the queen up, "The son has even affected the queen mother." ”

The queen shook her head, "The prince doesn't have to blame himself, you are filial and benevolent, it is the queen mother who protects you too well, so that you have no heart to defend against others." ”

The emperor left, and Dong Ruyi walked in with Wang Xi.

Dong Ruyi said: "If you have talked to the imperial aunt, you have seen the prince's cousin. ”

Qiao Xi looked at the queen, and then retreated.

Dong Ruyi heard the queen's words, she looked at Feng Yin, "Why didn't the imperial aunt explain it first?"

The queen smiled bitterly, she originally wanted to die and be born, but the prince's filial piety ruined her plan.

Seeing that Dong Ruyi was deliberately estranged, the prince said anxiously: "Ruyi, you believe in this palace, and this palace doesn't want to harm Mrs. Dong." ”

Dong Ruyi looked at the prince and said after a moment: "The character of the prince's cousin, Ruyi believed it, but he also asked the prince's cousin to tell the truth." ”

The crown prince sighed, "This palace originally wanted to calm things down. ”

The prince said everything he knew.

Three days ago, Hongjuan hurriedly found him and said that someone was trying to harm him. Let him not be with the prince next to him no matter what.

After his repeated questioning, he learned from Hongjuan that Mrs. Dong would have a difficult birth on the day of Ruyihou and Luli, and he would become the scapegoat for Mrs. Dong's difficult birth. As for whose conspiracy this is, Hongjuan refuses to reveal it.

In desperation, he proposed that his people pick up Mrs. Dong first. As for Hongjuan, he had promised that he would arrange for her to leave the palace afterwards. But the accident backfired, Mrs. Dong still had a difficult birth, and he still became a scapegoat.

Dong Ruyi's brows furrowed when she heard this, and the queen was bitter.

The queen said: "If the prince is not the son of the palace, and he is under the knees of the palace, I am afraid that the palace will not believe him if he is like this." That's why she took the crown prince's back.

Dong Ruyi said: "How did the imperial aunt know about this?"

The queen said: "I only learned about this palace today, and you also know that His Majesty stayed in Kunning Palace yesterday." "If she had known sooner, even if it was just a day earlier, she wouldn't have let things turn out like this.
