The third princess's face turned pale.

Is she innocent, not innocent at all.

The personal palace maids beside her, loyal eunuchs, and confidant guards, half of them were assigned to her by the Queen Mother.

As long as the Queen Mother speaks, those people dare not disobey.

She's done......

The third princess pinched the handkerchief tightly, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble.

The Queen Mother sat on the chair, and Gu Qing and the third princess knelt on the ground.

During this time of investigation, no one spoke again, and the room was so quiet and eerily quiet that it seemed to be heard if a needle had fallen on the ground.

After about a quarter of an hour, or more, the housekeeper next to the Queen Mother finally came in and said in a low voice:

"The few secret guards around the third princess have indeed left Beijing, and it is impossible to find out whether they are dead or going outside the territory......

In addition, the two palace maids who served the county lord explained that the county lord sent them to inquire more about the news of the county lord of Rongchang, and the two little eunuchs informed,

A few days ago, the third princess summoned the secret guard many times...... I have to ask the guards what to do......

The Queen Mother's hand paused.

Her old man's face was clear, but the back of her hand was bruised.

As the biggest winner of the last battle for succession, her scheming city government can be said to be unbeatable.

But she was deceived by her favorite third princess.

"That's not the case...... the third princess opened her mouth to defend, "I inquired about Rongchang's news because I admired Rongchang and wanted to be a woman like Rongchang.

I summoned the secret guards to ask them to go outside the territory to find a birthday gift for the imperial grandmother...... Grandma Huang, I am your own granddaughter! I'm so innocent......"

The Queen Mother shook her head and interrupted her: "A single coincidence can be regarded as a coincidence, and if there are too many coincidences, it becomes deliberate.

Bao'er, the mourning family has always regarded you as the pearl of the palm, and has loved you since childhood, why do you deceive the mourning family so much? Deception is small, almost killing Rongchang is big, you say, why do you want to attack her?"

The third princess broke down and cried.

She knew that even if there was no definite evidence, in the mind of the Queen Mother, she had become the person behind the scenes.

She couldn't explain it anymore, just broke down and cried.

The Queen Mother sighed: "You have nothing to say, it means that this matter is indeed your doing, fortunately, there is no major incident, then you will be punished for being grounded for half a year, and you will think about it in the palace."

The third princess gasped.

Grounded for half a year, this punishment is too heavy.

The most important thing is that if the whole capital knew that she was severely punished by the Queen Mother, no one would ever call her the most favored third princess again.

Gu Qing moved his somewhat stiff knees.

After kneeling for so long, she was only grounded for half a year, and this punishment was too light for her.

Gu Qing has never dealt with the Queen Mother.

I am also afraid that the Queen Mother will blindly favor the third princess, according to this view, the Queen Mother will also be reasonable, of course, it is more about weighing the pros and cons.

She raised her head and said, "Thank you Empress Dowager for upholding justice, but the minister still wants to know why the third princess has repeatedly attacked the minister......

The minister thought about it, it should be the time when he accidentally bumped into the third princess when he entered the palace, the third princess might as well tell the minister's reckless faux pas, and the minister is willing to make amends to the third princess."

….

The Queen Mother nodded: "Bao'er, you really should make this matter clear."

The handkerchief in the hands of the third princess was about to be torn apart.

She raised her eyes slightly, met Gu Qing's eyes, and she saw a trace of sarcasm in Gu Qing's eyes.

Her heart suddenly rose with anger, and she almost slapped her in the face.

But she couldn't, she didn't dare to say in public that the reason why she hated Rong Chang was because Rong Chang heard Nangong Yi reject her, and because Nangong Yi admired Rong Chang.

The empress only has three children, and she is the third princess of Daliang, the empress once said that if she can't marry Nangong Yi, she will be sent to Xiliang and relatives.

The children of the emperor's family are born with glory and wealth, and they must give full play to their greatest value when they grow up, even the third princess, who seems to be the most favored now, cannot escape the sacrifice for politics.

"I, I didn't target Rong Chang...... " The third princess lowered her head and bit her lower lip, "The first time I met Rong Chang was at the hunting meeting, Rong Chang didn't have any chance to rush me, and I couldn't attack Rong Chang for a little thing......

Hearing this answer, Gu Qing was not surprised.

Daliang's economy needs Nangong Yi, the richest man, and Nangong Yi's identity is destined to be impossible to forcibly marry, all of which can only be fought for by the third princess herself.

In this way, she can be regarded as pinching the handle of the third princess.

If you want to deal with the third princess in the future, you can start from this aspect.

"In that case," Gu Qing spoke, "dare to ask why the princess still kills me so many times?"

The third princess bit her lower lip stubbornly.

But when things come to this point, she has to make up a reason, otherwise, she won't be able to pass the queen mother's pass.

She said in a low voice: "Grandma Huang, I know that I am wrong, I am just jealous of Rongchang's ability to do anything, I used to praise the mother emperor, but now the mother emperor only has her in her eyes...... I was robbed of the favor of the mother queen by her, and this is ......."

"Rongchang, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was wrong, I will never do this kind of thing again!"

She crawled to the Queen Mother on her knees, crying pear blossoms with rain, extremely pitiful.

After all, the third princess is the person on the tip of the Queen Mother's heart, and when she cried like this, the Queen Mother's heart softened a little.

"The mourners must also make amends to you." The Queen Mother took the third princess into her arms and sighed, "The third princess grew up beside the mourning family since she was a child, but the mourning family was immersed in the Buddhist hall and neglected to discipline, allowing her to make such a big mistake."

The queen mother apologized in person, and Gu Qing didn't dare to stare at it, so she hurriedly said, "I hope that the third princess will be able to do well water without river water in the future."

"Someone." The Queen Mother spoke, "Bring up the box of jewelry in the mourning family's treasury."

The palace people were ordered to carry a large box out and uncover it, which was full of gold, silver, jade, and jewelry, shining so bright that it was impossible to look at directly.

"These, give them to Rongchang to suppress the shock." The Queen Mother spoke, "This is a piece of the mourning family's heart, don't shirk it."

Gu Qing glanced at it, and could only kowtow to thank him.

After thanking him, he didn't stay any longer, and got up to say goodbye.

When he stood up suddenly, Gu Qing almost fell to the ground, his knees hurt terribly, and his legs didn't seem to belong to him.

Xia Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and the two slowly withdrew from Cining Palace.

As soon as they left, the third princess knelt down again: "Grandma Huang, I was wrong, but Rongchang's *** she actually hooked up with Brother Nangong!" I can't stand it.

Grandma Huang, I have known Nangong's brother since I was a child, and Rongchang is just a country slut......

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother helped her up, "Rongchang and Nangong are getting together? Doesn't Rong Chang already have five husbands?"

"It is precisely because of this that I am unwilling, Grandma Huang, I am a princess of a country, where is it not better than that rural village woman......" The more the third princess spoke, the more sad she became, she couldn't say these words in front of Rongchang, but at this point, she had to take the initiative to tell the Queen Mother and the cross-section.

The Queen Mother was so troubled by her that her head hurt: "Okay, don't cry. The mourning family will announce that he will enter the palace tomorrow and ask about it, the mourning family does not believe that he would rather go to the county lord's mansion to be the sixth child than marry you.

But if that's the case, Bao'er, you have to plan for yourself! The mourning family is old, and they can't protect you for long."
