The prince wanted to die, and the doctor raised her hand and slapped him

She just wants a daughter-in-law with a strong background to give her confidence. Is there anything wrong with that?

When Concubine Zhao turned her head, she saw Emperor Mingde trying to comfort the Empress in a soft voice, and she became even angrier.

No one has ever touched the queen, so what is there to comfort her?

Her face and neck were covered in blood, much more serious than the Queen's.

"My lady, wipe your face..."

Ruyi carefully handed over a handkerchief soaked in tea.

Concubine Zhao took it and wiped her face with gritted teeth.

In the afternoon, the sun shines into the spacious and bright Renming Palace, covering everything with a thin layer of golden gauze.

The magnolia flowers on the tree in the yard were in full bloom, full of vitality, and were not at all affected by the lifeless atmosphere of the people present.

Su Yinyue struggled in vain and simply put her hands down.

Seeing that she gave up on committing suicide, Jiang Zai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.

Su Yinyue said weakly, "You saved me very well, don't save me next time."

Jiang Zai Yu's eyes fell on the red mark on her neck. He realized belatedly that he had used too much force. An inexplicable sense of shame made him look away.

"Well, I'll pay attention next time."

After Emperor Mingde confirmed that his wife was fine, he saw Su Yinyue leaning in Jiang Zai Yu's arms, gasping for breath.

When he looked up again, he saw concubines filling the yard, and even the air was filled with the smell of rouge and powder.

There were fallen leaves, blood, and jewelry scattered all over the ground.

a mess.

Emperor Mingde went to settle accounts with Concubine Zhao with a gloomy face.

"Empress Zhao, I asked you to help manage the six palaces, and you let so many people come to disturb the queen's recuperation?"

Concubine Zhao quickly denied responsibility, "The Queen's jade cat was stolen, and I and the others were summoned by the Queen."

"Jade cat?"

Emperor Mingde was slightly startled, and instantly understood why the Queen had gone to so much trouble to summon all the concubines.

Most of the anger disappeared immediately.

"Help the queen in, and leave this matter to me."

Everyone moved to the main hall, and Emperor Mingde sat at the top with his horse and golden sword. He also gave the empress who was sitting next to him a soft pillow for her to lean on.

Majestic yet warm.

The queen's pale face improved a lot, and she ordered: "Yingzhu, tell the emperor the whole story."

"Yes."

As he listened, Emperor Mingde looked at Su Yinyue with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.

"Today in the court, the censor accused you of being reckless and rebellious, and said you were truly a mad woman. I thought he was exaggerating and gave him a good scolding."

"You can turn the Queen's Inmyeong Palace upside down by yourself..."

Emperor Mingde couldn't help but sigh: "The censor is quite pragmatic..."

Concubine Lin knelt on the ground with a plop and cried, "I am Su Yinyue's concubine mother, and she actually beat me up. I beg the emperor to help me!"

Emperor Mingde's mind automatically flashed with the beautiful face of Concubine Lin before. He then compared her current bruised face and nose and fell into strange silence for a moment.

After a while, he slowly said, "Princess Yu has no grudge against you. You asked the palace servants to search you. Don't you know how important chastity is to a woman?"

Concubine Lin was stunned. Did the Emperor mean that he didn't want to make the decision for her?

Emperor Mingde turned his spearhead toward Concubine Zhao again. "Concubine Lin is young and has never given birth, so she cannot empathize with me. Concubine Zhao, you are also a mother, so you allow others to bully your daughter-in-law?"

Emperor Mingde's attitude was very clear; he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter.

Concubine Zhao was determined to drag the queen into the water, "I was only busy helping the queen find the jade cat, and I was careless for a moment. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Hearing this, Su Yinyue frowned slightly. Was the emperor trying to fool her?

But the Queen seemed determined to find the Jade Cat. Did she really want the Queen to search her body?

At this time, Jindie walked into the palace with a palace maid.

"Your servant greets His Majesty, the Empress, and I am here to bring Cuiyi here."

Emperor Mingde asked: "Which palace are you from?"

Cui Yi prostrated herself on the ground and said respectfully, "I am the clothing manager of the Shangyi Bureau."

"Did you give Princess Yu the wooden box?"

Cui Yi replied with a trembling body, "I don't know what happened. I have never seen Princess Yu!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Su Yinyue knew that she was not the palace maid who delivered the wooden box.

Emperor Mingde's eyes were dark, flashing with a dangerous light, "There are many maids in the palace, and Princess Yu is entering the palace for the first time. How could she say your name accurately?"

"I don't know, maybe someone is pretending to be me..."

Emperor Mingde had already decided how to deal with it, and he asked himself: "Who instructed you to steal the jade cat and frame Princess Yu?"

Cui Yi was so scared that she was about to cry, "No, I didn't..."

Emperor Mingde said calmly, "If no one instructed you, then you acted on your own!"

There was a mixture of fear and astonishment in Cuiyi's eyes, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and she was wrapped in despair.

The emperor wants to use her as a scapegoat, does she still have a chance to survive?

Emperor Mingde turned the ring on his thumb casually, "How dare a small servant to alienate the Empress and Princess Yu? Kill her."

"I didn't do it. Your Majesty, please check it clearly. I really didn't do it..."

Cuiyi's face turned pale and she kowtowed hard, trying to arouse the sympathy of the masters present.

"Bang bang bang!"

Soon, blood started coming out of his forehead.

Cuiyi could not feel the temperature of the hot blood at all, she only felt dizzy and her whole body was cold.

Now that the emperor has spoken, she is doomed, right?

Seeing that Su Yinyue wanted to step out, Concubine Zhao grabbed her arm and warned her in a low voice.

"Shut up and put all the blame on this maid, then we can get rid of it!"

If she still had hope of getting rid of Su Yinyue when Emperor Mingde arrived, her fantasy was shattered as soon as Jiang Zaiyu said that.

In front of Emperor Mingde, Jiang Zaiyu's words are more effective than anyone else present!

Su Yinyue pursed her lips, "But she did nothing wrong."

Concubine Zhao, "Do you really want to be searched in public? The emperor is trying to protect you, don't be ungrateful!"

On the other side, the Queen also understood what Emperor Mingde meant and looked over with disapproval.

Emperor Mingde held her hand and said gently, "I will have someone carve a new jade cat for you later, and keep it exactly the same."

Su Yinyue pursed her lips, treating whatever Concubine Zhao said as air.

Was that to protect her?

Concubine Zhao is afraid that if the investigation continues, she will suffer.

Miraculously, Concubine Zhao understood her thoughts and became furious.

In order to pick herself out, Concubine Zhao had to suppress her anger and persuade, "Don't stand up and talk nonsense, I won't care about your offense to me."

Emperor Mingde thought he had appeased the queen, so he waved his hand and said, "Take her away!"

The eunuch received the order, grabbed Cuiyi's hands and dragged her outside.

"Your Majesty, I have never done anything wrong. I am innocent..."

Cuiyi burst into tears, and her mournful wails echoed throughout the Renming Palace.

All the concubines were as dignified as the Bodhisattvas in the temple, sitting upright, and no one asked for mercy.

There were many people who died unjustly in the palace, and they had seen a lot of it.

Cuiyi kicked her legs against the carpet, extremely desperate.

"and many more!"

"It wasn't her who gave me the wooden box."

A clear female voice sounded in the quiet hall.

Cui Yi seemed to hear heavenly music and looked in the direction of the sound with tearful eyes.

Su Yinyue pried open Concubine Zhao's hands and walked out, "Someone is impersonating her!"

Concubine Zhao was mad, "It doesn't matter if you die to save a palace maid, but don't let me get involved."

Su Yinyue looked at Concubine Zhao with a smile, "Who said I was trying to save her?"
