Sure enough, after calming the concubine's emotions, the emperor immediately asked the eldest princess with a serious attitude, as if he was just called to testify.

"Qionghua, you took the liberty of entering the palace to face the saint today, only to tell me that the queen is innocent, in the middle, do you have any credentials? The affairs in the palace involve the prince, and this matter is unusual and trivial, and anyone who speaks is responsible. ”

The eldest princess, who heard this, was not confused at all, patted it, and asked the personal maid behind her to present a letter.

The emperor took the letter in his hand and read it again, his expression was like an ancient well, and there was no fluctuation, but when the concubine wanted to check the letter, he deliberately turned the letter sideways, obviously not wanting others to check it.

Although the concubine couldn't understand what was going on, she had just made the emperor angry, and she knew that she couldn't continue to make mistakes.

Even if the Cao family has the ability, they will never threaten Your Majesty again and again for themselves, and the Cao family has many daughters who have grown up now, and it is not necessarily necessary for them to continue to serve Your Majesty, so there are many threats in the big family.

Putting the letter aside, the emperor still had some doubts in his face, turned his head to look at the queen, and continued to ask.

"Queen, this letter only says that there is another person behind the scenes, it can be regarded as a report letter, but it can't explain anything, then I ask you again, where were you on the night of the incident? What are you doing? ”

The queen answered truthfully with a calm face, the emperor's face became more and more calm, and the concubine was anxious to watch from the side, and she couldn't wait to slap the queen to death directly, so that the queen's reputation could be settled as soon as possible, but unfortunately now the emperor is staring at it, and the concubine doesn't dare.

Seeing that the emperor still had doubts, the eldest princess continued to add.

"The courtier's sister is not alone in danger, there is still someone to witness this matter, I implore Your Majesty to let people in, let them explain the truth of the matter with Your Majesty, and then find the murderer, let's confront each other one by one, and this matter can be revealed."

When the concubine heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and she was almost unstable in the emperor's arms, and then she remembered her own thunderous means of dealing with this matter, and she was a little relieved, and continued to rely on the emperor's arms, as if innocently asked.

"The concubine doesn't understand, the people who knew about this matter that day clearly went to Huangquan, can there be any other witnesses? Can a dead man still speak? Your Majesty, let's listen and watch more, don't listen and believe partially. ”

The emperor nodded, looking clear, and the eldest princess directly called the people outside to come in.

Two older grandmothers walked in from outside, but judging from the clothes alone, they were also served in the palace, and even had face in front of the master, otherwise there would never be such a decent fight, the palace is treacherous, everyone is in danger, and those who can afford to wear silk in the palace can be regarded as shrewd people.

As soon as the two entered the room, they knelt down and kowtowed, with a very respectful attitude, obviously knowing where they were now.

The emperor coughed lightly and asked: "What do you two know, tell everything truthfully, if you tell the truth, I will let you live, otherwise you also know what a sin it is to spy on the private affairs of the palace, don't blame me for not giving you a chance." ”

The two hurriedly kowtowed again and again, and there was no trace of hiding in their attitudes to say to the emperor.

"The slave and maid will never dare to hide your majesty in private affairs, and I am willing to tell your majesty the truth, that day the slave and the maid were sweeping the periphery, but I vaguely heard a mother-in-law say that she had succeeded, and the slave and maid and others did not understand what was going on, so she left in a hurry."

"It was only later that I heard that His Royal Highness the prince was in distress, and the slaves and maids suddenly remembered that this matter may be related to His Royal Highness, there are many people in the palace, and the slaves and maids dare not disclose half of the information, and they also waited until Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entered the palace, and the slaves and maids read that the queen mother was deeply kind, so they were willing to come forward to corroborate the queen's mother, and asked Your Majesty to forgive the sin, and the slaves and maids really did not have the intention of offending."

Although everything is the emperor's own design, but in the face of these words, the emperor still made a look of embarrassment, as if he was hesitating whether to win the trust of these people?

But the concubine and the queen have been against each other for many years, and now they finally see that the queen is about to fall, how can they be willing to see the queen get up again? gritted his teeth and denied the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that this matter still needs to be considered, after all, what these subordinates say may not be accurate, especially this matter also involves the master, why don't you ask Your Highness's biological mother to come over and ask, maybe she has other clues over there?"

This matter was deliberately done to clear the queen's reputation, and the emperor naturally did not allow others to say more.

Not to mention that incompetent woman, who can't keep her child, and her identity is not very noble, the emperor simply asked someone to drag her out and execute her, but where else can she find someone now? Could it be that a dead man can really speak?

The emperor seemed to be particularly reluctant to mention the woman, but just glared at the concubine with a gloomy face, and then said in a firm tone.

"A concubine, actually killed my prince, that is not enough to make amends, naturally it is better to die suddenly, I don't want to see that kind of person, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again!"

Seeing that the emperor was reluctant to see the woman who gave birth to a son for herself, and thought that she could still be favored after giving birth to a child for the emperor, the concubine became more and more happy, and forgot what she was going to do just now, but her eyes were full of pride.

However, the eldest princess instantly moved when she heard the wind, and directly asked someone to drag out two more people, pointing at those two people as quickly as the wind, and calling the two mothers-in-law to recognize them.

"Look, do you know these two people?"

The two mothers-in-law hesitated for a while, and then nodded again and again as if they had suddenly realized, and said excitedly.

"Acquaintance, what the slave maid has seen before, is at the banquet that day, it was this mother-in-law talking to the other, the two of them left after speaking, and then the Eighth Highness had an accident, this face, the slave and maid will never dare to forget."

With this evidence, it seems that many things have come to light in an instant.

The emperor immediately glanced at the queen with guilt, but the queen turned her head slightly, unwilling to give, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also laughed.

"Since that's the case, presumably Your Majesty often goes to the queen's palace on weekdays, and you should also know who is waiting in the queen's palace, whether these two people are from the queen's palace, the royal brother should be very clear, right?"

The emperor nodded again and again, and did not say who he wanted to attack, but just sighed in a deep tone and apologized to the queen.

"Zitong, this matter is that I can't stand you, let you suffer in vain, it's better to restore your position immediately, invite you out of the cold palace, and give you a reward, whatever you want, I agree to everything!"
