Chapter 55: The Trap
She is also the queen of the southwest, which is rich in resources and a place where wealthy merchants gather.
She had seen thousands of such precious objects, how could she not recognize them?
Yes. She had a premonition that Xiao Min's trick was a trap, and she thought that an accident would happen on the way to receive the gift, but she didn't expect her to wait for her in this place.
When the Queen Mother was full of expectations, she suddenly poured such a basin of cold water, and no one would have a good attitude.
And this gift was taken by her, and the biggest suspect in the exchange of items can only be her.
Satsuki plans to borrow the hands of the Queen Mother and send her to hell for the crime of stealing royal property.
"What's wrong, Grandma? Why are you so angry all of a sudden? Wouldn't Cai Wei's gift make the emperor's grandmother excited? ”
Satsuki smiled to herself, with a look of sincerity and fear on her face, and with Nozomi's support, she leaned over and looked at the contents on the tray.
"Ah, this birthday present is. Cai Wei prepared ice jade for the Queen Mother, where did this sticky ice come from? Cai Wei was obviously fine when he was brought into the palace, why did Sister Ming have a problem after she brought it up? ”
With this sentence, people are accusing Chu Wanxiang of making a mistake, both openly and secretly.
"Emperor Ming, why don't you explain?" The Queen Mother's face became extremely gloomy.
The smiling face that was friendly to Chu Wanxiang just now no longer existed, and he trembled and clenched his dragon's head cane, waiting for Chu Wanxiang's answer.
She likes Chu Wanxiang, but if she really does such a bullshit thing, she won't let her go easily.
"Queen, it seems that the thief has been found."
Chu Wanxiang glanced at Jiang Qiyun, who was kneeling in front of the main hall, and saw that her face was pale and panicked.
The Queen Mother was wronged.
"It's not me, it's really not me."
Jiang Qiyun shook her hand in front of her, crying and complaining of grievances.
"It's not you, this thing is in the middle of your panties. In front of everyone, will the Ai family blame you? The Queen Mother said angrily, slamming the dragon head stick in her hand on the ground, startling everyone present.
Jiang Qiyun was also startled, she clearly remembered that she stuffed things on Chu Wanxiang's body.
Even if it was a body search, this matter should have been found from Chu Wanxiang, how could it be on me.
"Queen Mother, Miss Chen was punished for pouring wine on Emperor Ming just now, I think she is very dissatisfied with such a punishment, so she wants to use this matter to make Emperor Ming also punished. Please also ask the Queen Mother to spare Miss Chen's sins, otherwise I don't know what kind of frame Emperor Ming will suffer when he is a maid these days. ”
Chu Wanxiang begged for mercy earnestly, and the Queen Mother was heartbroken because of her pitiful appearance.
"Son, come here." The Queen Mother took her hand and put the ring on her hand on Chu Wanxiang's hand.
"Mother Queen, that's." Mo Yan watched the Queen Mother's behavior in surprise. This is the ring that the former emperor himself wore on the Queen Mother, who was in the process of canonizing the Queen at the time. The Queen Mother has always carried it with her and has never been willing to take it off.
"Queen, you never left this ring, why ...... today"
Emperor Bei'an was also shocked by the behavior of the Queen Mother, the meaning of this ring is extraordinary, and it cannot be given to anyone at will.
"Emperor Ming is a sensible and poor child, but unfortunately, the identity of the proton made her bullied in Bei'an Palace, and even a little Miss Houfu could bully her again and again, Ai Jia was very distressed when she saw it, so she gave her this ring as compensation."
After speaking, the Queen Mother turned her head and glanced at Chu Wanxiang: "Child, after you take this ring, if you are wronged, take this ring and go to Ai Jia." ”
"Thank you, Queen." Facing the care of the elderly, Chu Wanxiang was deeply moved.
This is the first time since Belling became a proton that someone has defended themselves in this way.
"As for Chen Yingying." The Queen Mother put away her loving smile and looked at her coldly: "I have made the same mistake again and again, and I have not changed it again and again. ”
Chen Yingying, the daughter of the Chen family, according to the order of the bereaved family, was no longer Miss Hou's mansion, but was demoted to a commoner.
"Chen Yingying has been accustomed to rich clothes and exquisite food since she was a child, and her right to be a master has been denied, how can she survive?"
Kowtowed in a panic and begged the Queen Mother for mercy over and over again.
Seeing her daughter so embarrassed, An Guohou wanted to step forward to intercede for her, but Xiao Yun's eyes made him dispel this idea.
Who can disobey the Queen's orders?
Besides, it was at a birthday party. If I go up and intercede at this time, won't it add fuel to the fire?
Not only did Xiao Yun not help him, but even the emperor didn't speak for him.
So he resisted the impulse, kept his head down, and did nothing.
Although Chen Yingying shouted loudly, no one on the court said a word to her.
In the end, Emperor Bei'an felt that she was too noisy and disturbed the queen mother's interest, so he sent a eunuch to drag the queen mother down.
"Emperor Ming, there is one more thing that the Ai family doesn't understand."
The ears were finally clean, and the Queen Mother touched the dragon-shaped jade pendant in her hand and took it out hesitantly.
When Zi Luo and Chu Yan saw the jade pendant, a smug smile appeared on the corner of their mouths.
He didn't expect Chu Wanxiang to wear this jade pendant on his body.
Originally, he wanted to pick a good time to mention the whereabouts of his jade pendant to the Queen Mother at the birthday banquet, but now that Chu Wanxiang's jade pendant has been found, this matter has become a little smoother.
"Why are you wearing this jade pendant?"
Generally speaking, the royal jade pendant should not be given away easily, because the woman who sent the jade pendant must be a candidate for the imperial concubine.
Since Chu Wanxiang stayed in Bei'an for a year, everyone knows that she has a soft spot for Ruyi, and they have never heard of any intersection between her and the prince of Bei'an. On her.
Everyone present looked at her with puzzled eyes, especially Emperor Bei'an. This woman is his favorite. If she really married any prince and became a princess, then he could not let her into the palace.
"Grandma Tang, this jade pendant was given to her by the grandson of Princess Minghuang." Before Chu Wanxiang could speak, Chu Yan stood up and replied.
"It's yours." The Queen Mother looked at him.
Chu Wanxiang didn't speak, just stood quietly to the side, her eyes were calm, and she couldn't see any waves.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yan thought that she had accepted the fact that she had accepted her fate, so the smile in her eyes was particularly proud.
Chu Yan's every sentence was self-centered, and Chu Wanxiang's wishes, he didn't mention it at all.
Kneeling on his knees, he bowed his head and made a wish to the Queen Mother, but he only said that he hoped that his wish would come true.
Chu Wanxiang dismissed this person.
"The Empress Dowager Moran once said to the concubine that he admired the princess of the Ming Emperor very much, and not long ago specially invited the princess of the Ming Emperor to swim in the lake together." Zi Luo also fanned the flames, as long as his son married Chu Wanxiang, their mother and son's life would be much smoother.
