Chapter 73 Chapter 72 The Queen

The loud announcement made the atmosphere of the entire hall fall into an eerie silence!

Concubine Wan stood aside uneasily, twisting her handkerchief slightly, the expression on her face was full of worry.

"Mingzhu see my father, Concubine Wan!" Princess Mingzhu is dressed in a red 'color' palace dress, as flamboyant as a peony in full bloom, and the six golden hairpins on the top of her head are 'inserted' on both sides, and the hair like a dark night is coiled into a 'fine' double ring Zhenyue bun that looks more and more 'gorgeous' and beautiful!

Duanmu Qing nodded slightly: "You get up!" ”

"Yes, Father Xie!" Princess Mingzhu got up briskly, walked to Duanmu Qing's side, and gently pulled his sleeve, "Father, what's wrong?" I saw a group of people kneeling here! ”

Duanmuqing didn't answer, and asked in a deep voice, "Have you lost a gilded dotted cui hairpin?" ”

"Yes, the hairpin is still the original mother's special 'door' left to me, the child especially likes, that day to Wan Fei Niang Niang here after going back and did not find, I thought it was dropped in Wan Fei Niang Niang here, so I sent someone to ask, is the pearl hairpin found?"

"Found it!" Duanmu Qing pointed to the top of the table, "Is that yours?" ”

"It's broken...... Duanmu Mingzhu looked over, exhaled in surprise, and picked up the pearl hairpin with a little distress, "This is still what I and the queen mother personally put on for me, how could it be ......?"

Mama Sun secretly said bad in her heart, and desperately looked at Duanmu Mingzhu. It's a pity that Mingzhu has been facing away from the 'door' of the main hall, and she hasn't received any hint from her!

Sure enough, hearing her words, Duanmu Qing's expression changed slightly: "This pearl hairpin was given to you by the queen at the beginning?" ”

"Yes, Father, have you forgotten? This bead hairpin was still 'inserted' on the mother's head at that time, and it was the 'girl' who felt beautiful before asking the mother to come down, and the mother was still very reluctant at that time! Mingzhu said, as if thinking of the good old days, with a sweet smile on her face!

Duanmu Qing snorted coldly and threw the note in his hand on the table: "See for yourself!" ”

Mingzhu's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly wondered in his heart the reason for Duanmuqing's attitude, looking at the current situation, the plan should be very smooth, but why is the emperor's attitude so strange! Picked up the note, turned back slightly, and his eyes swept over Grandma Sun, meeting her anxious eyes! With a slight pause in his heart, Mingzhu looked down at the note in his hand!

The moment she saw the handwriting of the note, she only felt like a thunderbolt hit her head, and she was dizzy and almost unable to stand! How could it be...... How did this handwriting come to this...... No, this ......

Duanmuqing closed his eyes coldly, and slowly opened them after a while: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Duanmu Mingzhu fell to his knees with a bang: "Father, please make the decision for the child, although this handwriting is similar to that of the child, but carefully distinguish the difference, someone must be trying to frame the son, and I hope that the father and the emperor will be the master of the pearl!" ”

"You said someone framed you with this note?"

"Yes, it must be so!" Duanmu Mingzhu said, looking at Mu Qingya of His Royal Highness, "Father, the child wants to ask, how did you find this note?" Why is it such a coincidence, Erchen's lost gilded dot cuichai was found, and a note was also found, and the timing of this note was too weird!

Mu Qingya lowered her eyes, and a hint of mockery flashed slightly: Princess Mingzhu actually wanted to find an excuse to shirk in this regard, but unfortunately she made a mistake this time, the timing of the appearance of this note was handed over by her personally, since you handed the bow and arrow to the hunter, how could he not use it!

"This note was found in the pearl hairpin!" Sure enough, Duanmuqing still ignored Mingzhu's question and said directly.

Mingzhu froze in place, retorted and blurted out: "Impossible! ”

Concubine Wan spoke: "Princess, that's true, this note is hidden in the pearl hairpin, this is really ......"

Mingzhu suddenly looked back at Grandma Sun: "Grandma Sun, what the hell is going on?" ”

Mama Sun's body shook: "Princess Qiyu...... This...... Originally, the slaves and maids came to the Liuli Palace on your orders...... Looking for your lost pearl hairpin, but you don't want to find this note on Miss Mu's 'bed', and then ...... Then ......"

"And then what? Still not honest 'handover' generation? ”

"Yes, yes...... And then...... Only to find out that this note turned out to be in your gilded dot cui hairpin!

Princess Mingzhu raised her eyebrows: "Nonsense! This pearl hairpin was given to me by the queen mother, where can there be such nonsense 'nonsense' things! Father, you must be the master of Mingzhu, otherwise how will your sons and daughters survive in the future! ”

Duanmuqing: "Didn't you say that you didn't write the things on this note?" Since it's not, what else do you have to worry about! ”

Mingzhu secretly said in her heart that it was not good, she was to blame, she was 'messed up' by the sudden change, but it was too late now! She could only bite the bullet and keep talking!

Mu Qingya quietly raised her head and looked at Duanmu Qing in the upper seat: "Your Majesty, this matter is already unusual, you still don't pursue it, all the responsibility is on Qingya, please condemn the emperor!" ”

Duanmuqing waved his hand: "You get up!" I'm not a faint king who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, how could I jump to such a hasty conclusion, Mingzhu, tell me, what do you think about this matter? ”

"Father," Duanmu Mingzhu gently chopped his feet twice, "Father, this poem is clearly an expression of lovesickness, Mingzhu can't think of such a poem, and besides, this handwriting is the biggest omission!" Erchen can write this poem for his father to see, this can't be Erchen's thing! ”

Duanmuqing gently twisted the Buddha beads in his hand, the movement was not slow, the jade like Buddha beads gently collided and made a crisp sound, which should be a pleasant sound but it was like all kinds of beating sounds fell on everyone's hearts!

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The piercing sound of the announcement sounded again, and the atmosphere in the hall was even more eerie!

Mu Qingya raised her head slightly and looked at the beautiful 'woman' who walked into the palace! The red 'color' palace dress was worn on her body, as if it was a special 'door', in order to set off her nobility and beauty, she was pressed down by her bearing! Queen Hou Xinlan is not the most beautiful existence in the palace, but she is a person who people will never forget at a glance! There are no gorgeous decorations on her body, no complicated dress, no deliberate 'rubbing' attitude, she just stands there, it is like a bright moon, cold and noble, so that people dare not look directly!

Mu Qingya's eyes were downward, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would be difficult for her to associate this person with the rumored unfavored queen, how similar this 'woman' was to her mother...... There is no self in her eyes, only the man on the throne, who is so stupid that it hurts to the heart! Almost instantly, Mu Qingya felt a little unbearable in her heart, she never believed that there were such deep feelings in this deep palace wall, but why did she see it again and again!

Empress Hou Xinlan bowed elegantly, and her voice was like a 'jade' bead falling on a plate: "The concubines see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

"Why are you here?" Duanmu Qing frowned slightly, and his face changed slightly!

The queen nodded slightly: "Originally, the concubine didn't want to come over, but I heard that Mingzhu didn't know how to make trouble with Concubine Wan's sister, and I really didn't want to go, so I came over to take a look!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Concubine Wan on the side, "Sister, Mingzhu girl is not sensible, and she has offended something, please bear with me!" ”

Duanmu Mingzhu's eyes shook, and the unwilling words were about to be spoken, but they were stopped by a look from the queen, so they had to grit their teeth and swallow the words that came to their mouths!

"Your Majesty, Mingzhu is young and ignorant, if there is anything, I hope the emperor will not worry too much about the face of the concubine!"

Duanmu Qing frowned coldly: "Yes, I didn't expect you to come out once, but it was for this matter, you have nothing else to say?" ”

"Yes!" Hou Xinlan's voice was as warm as water, with a silky soft temperature, like high-grade silk, wrapped around people's hearts, with a heart-warming touch, "Your Majesty, Ling Feng is still not awake, can you call Imperial Doctor Wang Yu over to treat him!" ”

"That's all you have to say?" Duanmuqing's voice is raised!

"Yes! Please also ask the emperor to agree! ”

"Okay, okay, it's not impossible for me to agree, but there is a precondition, you can make this matter clear first!" Duanmu Qing's eyes were cold, like a thousand years of frozen ice, and the temperature seemed to be able to frostbite people's souls!

"This is ......" The moment she saw the note, Hou Xinlan's face changed, and her back suddenly tightened!

"What else do you have to explain!"

"The concubine has nothing to say, please ask the emperor to surrender!" The queen bowed slightly, but her movements were not as smooth as before!

"In that case, I don't need to be appeased! The queen is not in good health, and it is even more difficult to 'care' about the affairs of the eldest prince, and she has no intention of caring about palace affairs, so she 'handed' the affairs of the palace to Concubine Wan and Concubine Qin. Mingzhu, as a 'jade' Han princess, spoke disrespectfully, disrespected the concubines, was grounded for five months, and was punished for copying the Book of Filial Piety a hundred times! Mama Sun and others bullied others, disobeyed the palace rules, scolded twenty with a cane, and were relegated to the Xin Zheku as slaves! Alright, let's all disperse! ”

Princess Mingzhu stayed in place in a daze, she hadn't recovered from Duanmuqing's punishment, and the shock in her heart was beyond measure, as a 'jade' Han princess, her words were disrespectful and disrespectful to her concubines...... Such a crime is placed on a princess, so what is the reputation of this princess? She couldn't have imagined that her father, who had doted on her in the past, would let her be punished like this!

Seeing Duanmuqing leave angrily, Mingzhu walked to Hou Xinlan's side and shouted aggrievedly:

"Queen Mother's ......"

Hou Xinlan quietly looked up at her, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped her in the face! The loud voice was especially loud throughout the hall!
