Why mess with her? Even the emperor has to pamper her.

Emperor Tianqi stood up, walked to Old Madam Yun, helped her up, and said, "What crime has Old Madam Yun committed? Get up quickly!"

After Emperor Tianqi helped the old lady up, he asked everyone else to stand up.

After hearing this, the others thanked him and stood up.

Emperor Tianqi returned to the dragon throne and sat down, then he said, "Come here, please give me a seat!"

So, someone quickly brought a chair.

Emperor Tianqi said to the old lady, "Old lady, please sit down and talk!"

The old lady did not refuse. After thanking him, she sat down directly.

She said, "I returned to Beijing today. As soon as I got home, I felt like the sky had fallen. The Queen actually issued an edict to reprimand my daughter-in-law, saying that she was fierce and jealous. The Queen obviously didn't know the truth and was deceived by someone with ulterior motives, so she issued this edict. Therefore, I would like to ask the Queen to withdraw the edict!"

Emperor Tianqi nodded slightly and said to Sun Jiasheng: "Go and ask the queen to come over!"

After hearing this, Sun Jiasheng quickly agreed and left.

The queen had obviously heard the news a long time ago and rushed over here. Therefore, Sun Jiasheng walked in with Queen Wang after just a moment of absence.

Queen Wang knelt down before Emperor Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Queen Wang and did not ask her to stand up. He just asked, "Does the Queen admit her guilt?"

When Queen Wang heard this, her face darkened. Just from this one sentence, she knew the emperor's position.

That imperial decree was indeed issued by her.

She had never thought that an imperial decree would cause such a big fuss.

She felt at the time that, except Old Madam Yun, no one could refute her imperial decree.

So, she went down with great confidence.

Because she felt that she was helping Yun Xian. The old lady was Yun Xian's biological mother. No matter what, she would not refute the imperial decree for He Ning.

Who would have thought that the old lady would do this!

She still hasn't figured out why this happened.

And now, she doesn't have time to figure this out!

She said, "I know I was wrong. But I still want to explain. I heard that Madam Yun did not allow Marquis Yun to take a concubine, and even tied him up, so I issued this decree. I also did it for the harmony and peace of the Marquis's Mansion!"

The old lady said, "Thank you for your concern, Queen. However, it was me who didn't allow the Marquis to take a concubine, not Ning'er! As for saying that Ning'er kidnapped the Marquis, that's nonsense! The guards of the Marquis's mansion only obeyed my orders. They kidnapped the Marquis because he was too unreasonable. I didn't allow him to take a concubine, but he brought someone into the Marquis's mansion. It's simply outrageous!"

When the queen heard this, she frowned and looked unhappy.

She didn't expect that in order to protect He Ning, the old lady would take all the blame on herself.

He Ning didn't allow Yun Xian to take a concubine, that was because he was jealous.

Since the old lady didn't allow Yun Xian to take a concubine, who wouldn't praise her for being considerate of her daughter-in-law?

She knew she had no chance of winning, so she said, "Your Majesty, I was indeed wrong in this matter! I am willing to be punished!"

Emperor Tianqi looked at the old lady and asked, "How do you think we should deal with this?"

The old lady said, "Your Majesty, you issued an imperial decree to reprimand my daughter-in-law without verifying the facts. This is too childish! Please withdraw your imperial decree and issue a new one to accuse yourself of your mistakes, and apologize to my daughter-in-law!"

The queen widened her eyes when she heard this: "Old lady, isn't your request too much?"

If she issued such an imperial decree, wouldn't she lose all face?

The old lady's face was gloomy. "I don't think it's too much! It is said that if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If the queen makes a mistake, don't you need to admit it? Don't you need to correct it? Queen, you are the mother of a country and a role model for women all over the world. You should understand that it is a great virtue to correct mistakes as soon as you know them. I hope the queen will think twice!"

Queen Wang was speechless and for a moment she didn't know how to refute the old lady.

She just looked at Emperor Tianqi and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tianqi looked a little unhappy, and said, "The queen is wrong, and she should correct it. Just do as the old lady said!"

Queen Wang’s face turned pale. She wanted to refuse, but she knew she had no room for bargaining.

She could only kowtow and say, "I obey your order!"

Emperor Tianqi continued, "Who misled the Queen? Why don't you tell us all!"

Queen Wang gritted her teeth and spoke after a moment, "It was Lord Yun who asked the Crown Prince to beg me, so I issued the imperial decree!"

She is in the harem and is involved with the previous dynasty, which will definitely make His Majesty unhappy.

She had no choice but to involve the prince.

What's more, it was indeed the prince who told her about this matter.

Besides, Yun Xian.

This incident was caused by him, he is not wronged.

Furthermore, since the old woman was protecting He Ning, she would let the old woman’s son suffer and see if she really didn’t feel sorry for him!

Emperor Tianqi looked grim, and said to Sun Jiasheng: "Let the prince kneel outside the palace, and stand up when he has figured it out! In addition, Lord Yun will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane as a warning to others. You will personally lead the execution!"

After hearing this, Sun Jiasheng immediately agreed and left.

Queen Wang looked at Old Lady Yun, wanting to see some fear and surprise on her face at her son being punished.

However, to her disappointment, the old lady was not frightened but looked quite happy!

Queen Wang gnashed her teeth in anger.

Yun Chu lowered his head slightly and couldn't help laughing secretly.

Yun Xian had just been beaten with thirty sticks, and now he was beaten with another twenty. I'm afraid he would be crippled if not dead!

Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly when he saw the calm old lady. He asked her, "Are you satisfied with this outcome?"

The old lady stood up, knelt down towards Emperor Tianqi, and said, "I bow to thank your majesty!"

Emperor Tianqi raised his hand: "Stand up. If there is nothing else, please leave!"

After hearing this, the others left.

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yun Chuwei and said, "Lingtai Lang, stay!"

Yun Chuwei did not move. She waited until everyone had left before she bowed: "What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Tianqi glanced at Yun Chuwei and asked, "What's going on?"

Yun Chuwei's eyelids twitched slightly, and he heard Emperor Tianqi continue to ask: "What's going on between Madam Yun and your mother?"

It was obviously unreasonable for the old lady to put He Ning before Yun Xian.

He thought about it carefully and it seemed that the old lady had never liked her son.

This made him think more.

Yun Chu pursed his lips slightly, thinking about how to answer this question.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Yun Chuwei, his face darkening: "Are you embarrassed to say it, or do you not know?"

Yun Chuwei knelt down and said, "This may be considered deceiving the emperor."

Emperor Tianqi looked grim: "Just tell me, with you and Gu Yinmen here, I won't touch the Marquis' Mansion! Stand up and speak!"

Yun Chuwei stood up and said, "I read the faces of my grandmother and mother and I think they have a special relationship. They shouldn't be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but mother and daughter!"
