Wu Zaku thought that as long as she showed this expression, the Queen would definitely treat her with care for the sake of Prince Heqin and Concubine Geng.

This time the queen was so disrespectful to her that Wu Zhaku hated her in her heart.

I never expected that the queen was really angry and gave Wu Zaku such a severe punishment.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for handling this matter impartially." Na Zhen said.

The Queen also found Na Zhen's words irritating. This Nara family really knew how to annoy people.

She had had conflicts with Nara, but she was unwilling to take sides in such a matter. The queen glanced at Nazhen, stood up, turned around, held Zhuyu's hand and left.

When he saw the queen leave, he felt relieved.

Wu Zaku was waiting for her aunt from the Ministry of Punishment to come, and the queen also left her aunt here to supervise the work.

When she returned, Wu Zhaku's hands were so swollen that they could not be seen. She went back to the palace and wanted to find Prince He to cry to, but it turned out that Prince He had already gone to the mountains to meditate.

The Queen went to explain to Qianlong the whole story and how to deal with it.

Yu Suisui was also sitting on one side. The empress sat below Qianlong, and Yu Suisui sat below the empress.

After telling the story, the queen glanced at Yu Suisui, who stood up in an instant and said, "Your Majesty, Queen, I remember that I have something else to do. I'll excuse myself first." Now that they knew what had happened, they might as well retreat.

The Queen must have something to say to Qianlong, and it would not be good for her to be there.

Yu Lu followed Yu Suisui out, but after leaving the main hall, she glanced around and whispered, "Your Majesty, has Prince Heqin's wife lost her mind? If word gets out that he beat up a concubine in the palace, Prince Heqin's wife will probably have a reputation for being arrogant and domineering in the future."

What was Prince Heqin's wife thinking? If it wasn't the New Year, she would have been severely punished.

Yu Susui didn't know what he was playing at with the Prince's wife. It was too far-fetched to say that it was because of something the heroine's brother, Na Zhen, said.

How is it possible that just saying that the girl sang well could lead to the prince beating someone up?

"I don't know either, but maybe there is some deeper meaning." Yu Suisui said that the Prince and his wife's actions were a bit outrageous.

Yu Lu continued in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm wondering if Prince Heqin's wife wants to exchange her own reputation for Prince Heqin's reputation?" Prince Heqin's reputation has been completely bad in this period of time.

Yu Suisui had never thought about this angle. "Maybe, I'm not sure. But looking at this, Concubine Geng might be sick." Concubine Geng cares a lot about her son and daughter-in-law.

Yu Lu: “No way?” This was clearly the Prince He’s wife’s fault, why was Concubine Geng pretending to be sick?

"Just wait and see!" Yu Suisui was very sure that as the year was coming to an end, if the prince and his wife did not show up at the New Year's Eve banquet, the rumors would become even more intense.

Yu Lu followed Yu Suisui to Yongshou Palace, but this matter was still on her mind.

The Queen said only after Sui Sui left, "Your Majesty, I think what the Prince's wife is doing is absurd, why don't you invite her to the New Year's banquet?" The Queen was really afraid that something might happen during the New Year.

In previous years, the Prince's wife had not caused trouble like this year. She was too busy during the New Year and might not be able to take care of it. If something went wrong, then all her hard work this year would have been in vain.

Qianlong placed his hands on the armrests and lowered his eyes. "Do as you said. This Hong Zhou won't come into the palace. Send someone to tell Concubine Geng Gui, and you don't have to go over there yourself." If the Queen went over there, Concubine Geng Gui would definitely give the Queen a look.

The queen nodded and said, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." The emperor's words saved her a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian has suffered an unexpected disaster. How about giving Concubine Xian something as a reward to comfort her?" said the Queen.

She originally wanted to give the reward herself, but was unsure of the emperor's attitude, so she came over to ask.

Qianlong slightly bent his hand on the armrest and pinched it, hesitating for a long time, even before the empress was ready to change his words.

"I understand. I'll ask someone to arrange it later." Qianlong said. As for Nara, Qianlong still didn't want to mention her. He didn't want to admit that he had made a mistake.

This Nara was different from what he had imagined. He thought she was a truly selfless person, but it turned out she was just acting.

This was something Qianlong himself found very difficult to accept.

After the queen got the confirmed news, she mentioned something else, "Your Majesty, I will have someone send you the arrangements for this year's banquet in two days. If there are any deletions or additions, please write them down and have someone send them to me."

This year, the Queen has never felt so sad. Nothing has happened this year. If nothing had happened in Fucha's family, everything would have been turned upside down for her this year.

Qianlong turned the ring on his hand and thought for a while, "You should also make some arrangements for Wei's mother, and put her in a position closer to the front." He remembered that Yu Suishui had rarely seen her mother, and at her age, it was impossible for her not to miss her mother.

Queen: "Yes, I'll make a note of that." The Emperor really likes Concubine Ling now. Thinking back now, the words of advice she gave him at that time were too radical.

"Is Concubine Xian's family still the same as last year?" asked the Queen.

Last year, Nara's parents' home was also arranged separately.

"No need!" Qianlong's tone was a little cold, "Nara is still under house arrest, don't let her out during the New Year."

After hearing this, the Queen continued, "Your Majesty, if you ask Concubine Xian to stay away from coming out, isn't that a bit..." After all, there were two confined concubines in the palace, and if one of them didn't come out, there would be a lot of gossip.

Qianlong: "Then Su doesn't need to come out." He didn't want to see Nara, so it didn't matter whether Su came out or not.

The Queen also wanted to suggest that Nara be given a position at the back so that the Emperor would not have to look after her.

Qianlong waved his hand, "That's it, tell them not to come out. If there is anything wrong with Concubine Geng, tell her it is my intention. If she is sick, this year's banquet will be cancelled."

Qianlong now hated both the prince and his wife.

The queen had no choice but to agree, and after saying something else, she left.

The emperor's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to understand. He used to have some concerns, but now no one cares.

Especially the Dowager Concubine Geng. The emperor used to be very filial to her, but now for some reason, he has become cold and indifferent to her.

Maybe it was due to the influence of the prince and his wife, but she shouldn't have become so cold so quickly.

Yu Sui returned to Yongshou Palace, and Concubine Gao arrived soon after.

Comes with her fresh gossip.
