"What did you say?"

"Mother!" Jiang Qiyun's face turned pale and knelt on the ground: "I was really wronged......

Jiang Qiyun knelt on the ground, crying so much that pear blossoms rained: "Please believe me, don't listen to their nonsense!"

The emperor frowned: "What the hell is going on?"

Jiang Qiyun cried so much that she swore to the sky: "My feelings for Brother Han can be learned from the world, and there is no falsehood! I beg my father to see what is going on and return my innocence!"

"And what do they mean?"

"Mother-" Chu Dulin suddenly stood up and pointed out against Jiang Qiyun: "Erchen has already investigated clearly, sister, she ...... She was framed by someone else......

The Emperor was furious, slammed the table, and shouted, "Presumptuous! Who dares to slander my imperial concubine?!"

Jiang Qiyun's eyes flashed with horror, and she crawled towards the emperor tremblingly, reaching out and grabbing the foot of his robe: "Your Majesty is clear, the concubine has no two hearts! Please make the decision for your concubine......

"Your Majesty!" Taifu walked out: "Weichen thinks that this matter is strange. Since it was Miss Jiang who was slandered, why bother pursuing it?"

"Ridiculous!" The emperor was furious: "If Miss Jiang is not guilty, won't it chill Miss Jiang's heart?"

"Wechen doesn't think so!" Taifu argued with reason and took a tough attitude: "Since Miss Jiang is innocent, why do you blindly protect the mastermind behind the scenes? Shouldn't this matter be thoroughly investigated?"

The emperor was furious: "You mean that Miss Jiang slandered Miss Chu? How daring! My palace can also tolerate your presumptuousness? Someone—"

As soon as the emperor's order was exited, a rapid sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and then several horsemen galloped quickly, stopped the reins, and turned over and dismounted.

"Your Majesty, the last general is too late to wait for the escort!" The officials hurriedly saluted.

Chu Wanxiang looked up and saw several young men in military uniforms and riding tall horses galloping and quickly rushing to the emperor. Chu Wanxiang knew them, they were all leaders of the Praetorian Guard, and they were also the commanders of the Chu family's army.

Chu Mohan glanced at the minister who was kneeling on the ground, and glanced at Chu Wanxiang: "Mother, let's go back to the house."

Chu Wanxiang nodded.

The emperor looked at the person who came: "Yang Aiqing, you came just in time, you tell them, who framed Jiang Guifei?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to patrol Kyoto, and today I received a report that a thief was staying at an inn at night to steal, so I hurried there, and sure enough, I found that the thief had absconded, please punish Your Majesty!" The first military general clenched his fists and bowed.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Another military general chimed in: "Wechen has also discovered the thief!"

Chu Mohan and Chu Wanxiang glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed surprise.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Then the whole city will be searched, and the thieves must be caught and punished severely!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty!"

Jiang Qiyun hurriedly climbed forward and begged, "Your Majesty is angry! Although the concubine is immoral, she is innocent, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

"You stand down." The emperor said coldly.

Jiang Qiyun bit her lip and lowered her head, hiding the intense jealousy in her eyes.

The patriarch of the Jiang clan and the Taifu also came out to comfort the emperor, saying that they must catch the thief as soon as possible.

These ministers usually cultivate behind closed doors at home, and they don't care about the affairs of the court, but now when they encounter such a big thing, they are frightened one by one, and they hurriedly jump out and say that they will catch the thief immediately, and give justice to the patriarch of the Jiang clan and the Taifu.

The emperor was irritable and waved his hand: "You all stand down, I will deal with it myself!"

Taifu glanced at Jiang Qiyun, sighed, and took the lead in retreating.

The emperor stared at Jiang Qiyun and walked away.

Huangfu Zehao stood up and waved at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial brother and Miss Jiang have not rested yet, so they will take their leave!"

Jiang Qiyun weakly held the maid's arm and stood up, glanced at Huangfu Zehao shyly and timidly, and left behind.

The eunuch's shrill voice sounded: "Congratulations to the emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Chu Wanxiang sat on a chair, crossed her legs, and looked at Chu Mohan with her right hand on her cheek. Chu Mohan said

No, his eyes fell on a green plant outside the window, and he seemed to be unaware of her gaze. Chu Wanxiang couldn't help but speak, "Are you angry?"

Chu Mohan finally turned his head and looked at her for a while before he said lightly, "I'm not angry."

He really wasn't angry, because Jiang Qiyun wasn't worth being angry at all. The difference between Jiang Qiyun and Chu Wanqing is that Chu Wanqing is jealous, while Jiang Qiyun is good at disguise. Their mother is the most favored concubine, Jiang Qiyun has been smart and well-behaved since she was a child, sensible and caring, filial piety and consideration to her father, respect and loyalty to her grandfather, gentle and skillful, and humble to others. She is not only beautiful as a flower, but also smart and clever, which is deeply liked by the queen, and she was made a concubine at the age of sixteen.

But the emperor favored Chu Wanqing for many years, and was obedient to her, and even gave her the privilege of not having to participate in court politics. Later, because of her, the queen fell ill, and the emperor's guilt for her became deeper and deeper.

After Chu Duchen ascended the throne, he canonized Jiang Qiyun's younger brother Chu Duxuan as a concubine.

"Do you think we wronged her?" Chu Wanxiang frowned at her slender eyebrows like willow leaves, her eyes were watery, as if covered with a layer of fog, Chu Duchen's gaze was condensed on her face, and she couldn't move away for a long time, and complex emotions flashed in her eyes.

"Impossible!" Chu Duchen blurted out. He had already found out the truth, how could it be her?

"That...... Is that a misunderstanding?" Chu Wanxiang tilted her head and asked.

Chu Duchen frowned.

Chu Wanxiang looked at Chu Duchen with a smile: "Are you worried about me? I'm afraid I'll be implicated. Don't worry, I'll be fine! I don't want to be infamous for killing the Queen! I'm going to keep my head and my life to inherit my father's title!"

"I'm not worried about you!" Chu Duchen was annoyed, "I'm thinking about Uncle Huang, if it is found out, I'm afraid my Uncle Huang won't be able to eat and walk around!"

"Uh-huh!" Chu Wanxiang snorted, "Then thank you Imperial Nephew!"

"Don't think I'm worried about you! I'm worried about the imperial aunt, if the imperial uncle finds out, he will definitely blame me, after all, you are the only sister of the imperial aunt! You must protect the imperial aunt, otherwise the imperial uncle will definitely not spare me!" After Chu Duchen finished speaking, he walked away angrily.

"Hey, where are you going? I'm not done yet!" Chu Wanxiang shouted twice, and Chu Duchen left without looking back.

Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips, and suddenly heard a cough beside her, and turned her head to see that it was Aunt Su. Aunt Su has a delicate and charming face, her eyes are red, and tears are rolling in her eyes, looking like she has cried.

Chu Wanxiang frowned: "Why are you crying?"

"The slave just feels wronged." Aunt Su wiped her tears.

"What's wronged? What you did was already a disgrace to the royal family, no wonder you will be punished and punished!" Chu Wanxiang said contemptuously.

Aunt Su choked up and said, "The slave and maid are not willing either, but the slave and maid can't refuse, otherwise the slave and maid will die." Slaves and maids don't want to do such unconscionable things, and slaves and maids would rather die than do such immoral things......
