After I traveled through the book, my whole family overheard my thoughts and went crazy

The Empress Dowager's expression relaxed for a moment.

"Since the Emperor is here, I'll leave this matter to him. I'm old and useless. I just feel a headache from all the noise." The Queen Mother hugged Mu Qianqian in her arms.

She rubbed Mu Qianqian's nose.

The Empress Dowager made Mu Qianqian giggle.

Except laughing.

She wanted to hear her voice more.

See if I really heard it wrong just now.

"What's going on?" Emperor Yuanwu looked at the people in the room, his brows furrowed deeply, "There really is no peace in this harem."

"Your Majesty, please calm down." All the concubines said in unison.

Emperor Yuanwu: ...

He turned his eyes to the dishevelled, dusty queen and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

The queen was so shocked by the shouting that she knelt on the ground. "I didn't know that I was resting in my bedroom tonight when a fire suddenly broke out in the side hall of Yikun Palace. When the eunuchs and palace maids rushed out, they pulled this cloak off the firefighter."

After the queen finished speaking, she pointed to the cloak on the ground and said, "What a coincidence, this cloak belongs to Concubine Shu, so..."

The Queen said, wiping the tears from her eyes aggrievedly: "So please ask Sister Shufei to come over and identify it."

Mu Qianqian, who was just giggling in the Empress Dowager’s arms.

After hearing what the queen said.

Mu Qianqian's expression changed, the smile on her face disappeared, and she even looked like she was angry.

【Daddy, the Queen is a bad person.】

[She was the one who set the fire.]

[The thief cries "Catch the thief!", he is wrongly accusing my mother! 】

This sentence was not only heard by Emperor Yuanwu.

The Queen Mother also heard it clearly.

The two of them looked at Mu Qianqian at the same time.

"What is the result of the identification?" Emperor Yuanwu asked impatiently.

"The cloak is indeed mine." Concubine Shu responded without waiting for the Queen to speak.

"If it is your cloak, why is it in the Yikun Palace at this time?" Emperor Yuanwu was puzzled.

"I don't know." Concubine Shu said truthfully, "Last time it rained heavily, Sister Zhenpin was punished to kneel in the Imperial Garden. I asked Ling'er to give this cloak and an umbrella to Sister Zhenpin. I don't know how this cloak appeared in the Queen's palace at this time."

Zhenpin, who was suddenly called, was startled. She hurriedly stood up and knelt beside Shufei.

"Princess Zhen, is this true?" Emperor Yuanwu asked.

Concubine Zhen frowned deeply and looked at Concubine Shu in confusion: "I... don't know about this."

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly added: "That day, my sister saw me kneeling in the imperial garden as punishment, but she said she would bring me an umbrella. Later, Aunt Wenhui said it was raining heavily, so she exempted me from punishment, and I returned to the palace."

Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Zhen out of the corner of her eye in confusion.

When Ling'er came back.

She also specifically asked whether the clothes and umbrella had been handed to Concubine Zhen.

Ling'er answered in the affirmative.

Is it possible that something went wrong in this link?

"Kneel down?" Emperor Yuanwu seemed to have grasped the key point: "Why kneel down?"

When concubines in the palace did something wrong, they were usually punished by copying Buddhist scriptures or reflecting on their mistakes behind closed doors.

What did I do wrong to be punished by kneeling in the Imperial Garden?

Concubine Zhen looked a little flustered. She moved her lips but didn't have time to speak.

The Queen spoke first, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Why don't you first sort out the fire in my palace so that the sisters in the palace can go back and rest. We can discuss the rest another day."
