Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately understood what the Princess meant. Since it was no longer possible to get rid of Su Qingwan by calling her an evildoer or a monster, she could still use her reputation.

A woman who is unfaithful to her husband will be drowned in a pond.

Thinking of this, before Emperor Xuanwu could speak, the Queen Mother spoke first:

"These are each family's own business."

"But since it has come to my side, I will naturally ask about it. Moreover, Lord Yan is not in the capital right now, so I will naturally worry about him."

"Tell me, is what the princess just said true?"

Several maids had already been frightened by the previous incident, especially Hong Jin.

She didn't expect that the matter of the poisonous insect would be revealed in this way. The most important thing was that Su Qingwan was not tempted by blood.

This is impossible, unless her poison had been cured long ago. In the past few days, Qingmu should have been curing her.

After realizing this, Hong Jin knew that the situation was hopeless.

However, the words of the Queen Mother and the Princess gave her some hope.

Maybe she still has a chance.

She quickly said:

"Yes, what the princess said is true."

"I have seen with my own eyes that Qingmu has been in and out of the mansion every day these past few days. One day, he stayed in Madam's room from morning till night without coming out."

After hearing her words, the maids came to their senses and said quickly:

"We servants can all testify that what Hong Jin said is true."

These maids are not stupid. If Su Qingwan doesn't die today, they will definitely be the ones to die.

What's more, they were originally planted in the Yan Mansion by others. If they failed to complete the mission, the only thing waiting for them was death.

As soon as the maids finished speaking, the princess said hurriedly:

"How can such an unfaithful woman be a royal consort?"

"She should be drowned in the pond with her adulterer."

The queen, who had been silent all this time, could not help but say:

"Maybe there's some misunderstanding here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the princess retorted:

"Sister-in-law, you are the queen, a role model for all women in the world. Today, are you going to protect a man who is not a good woman?"

The queen choked and dared not speak anymore.

The eldest princess looked at Su Qingwan proudly:

"Mrs. Yan, do you have anything else to say?"

"The princess has inquired about the situation in my house clearly. What else can I say?"

Su Qingwan laughed sarcastically:

"The Princess knows more about the affairs of my Yan Mansion than I do. I really admire the Princess's methods."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eldest princess's face changed slightly. She subconsciously looked at Emperor Xuanwu, and sure enough, the other party's face looked ugly.

Her brother, the emperor, had always been suspicious, so when he took the throne, she handed over all the power in her hands and just became the noble eldest princess.

However, today, Su Qingwan forced her to reveal all her cards.

I'm afraid my brother won't trust her anymore.

But it doesn’t matter anymore.

She has nothing now.

Thinking of this, she gave up completely and ignored Emperor Xuanwu altogether.

She said coldly:

"Don't talk about things that are available or not."

"It is a fact that you are unfaithful to your husband. This cannot be denied."

"Sister-in-law, according to the female code, what punishment should a woman who does not observe her chastity receive?"

The queen moved her lips and finally spoke:

"Anyone who commits adultery shall be caned with eighty sticks; if the married person is married, he shall be caned with ninety sticks."

Hearing this, the princess looked at Emperor Xuanwu:

"Brother Emperor, you always say that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as common people. Now, Su Qingwan has committed adultery. Should she also be punished according to the law?"
