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

No, isn't it?

Concubine Zhao was stunned.

Emperor Mingde's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he asked in a deep voice: "Then what are you doing for?"

Su Yinyue bowed and said, "My daughter-in-law did this for me."

"Your Majesty and the ladies did not come to the palace yesterday. I guess you don't know what your daughter-in-law said. Now I will say it again."

Concubine Zhao Guifei suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Su Yinyue raised the corner of her mouth in a beautiful arc, but there was a sharpness in her eyes.

"I am vicious and cruel. If anyone dares to harm me, I will beat the shit out of him. Even if he does it cleanly, I will do it!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall fell silent.

Although most people would think so, is it really okay for Princess Yu to say it directly?

Would that be too candid?

Jiang Zai Yu held his forehead helplessly.

Last night he asked Nanny Qin to teach Su Yinyue the palace etiquette, just to let people in the capital know that although his princess did not grow up in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, she was also well-educated and a lady from a noble family.

As a result, Su Yinyue exposed his weakness and all his plans were ruined.

Jiang Zai Yu sighed with regret. It was better this way. At least after his death, the princess would not be bullied.

It doesn't matter if your reputation is ruined.

Due to shock, a crack appeared on Emperor Mingde's expression, which was dignified without even getting angry.

Su Yinyue's eyes were firm and stubborn, "I don't want to disobey my father, but my father saw everything that happened just now, and I don't want to let those who persecuted me go!"

"If we don't kill them the first time they have evil thoughts, they will dare to do it again next time!"

Concubine Zhao was in a state of panic.

It's broken and it's coming for me.

Lady Lin was also frightened, her eyes became hot and she was about to cry out.

She knew that Su Yinyue beat her not because she interfered, but because she provoked her.

How could Su Yinyue possibly protect the Queen when she dared to challenge her?

Wuuuu, she has been beaten like this by Su Yinyue, can’t you just let her go?

Concubine Zhao's mind raced, and she slammed the table and stood up, "Su Yinyue, you are so bold, you actually dared to accuse the Queen!"

Just now, it was the Queen who called out before Su Yinyue hit the rock, and it was also the Queen who insisted on searching her body.

The Empress was the first wife of Emperor Mingde, and the two were together for decades.

Even though the queen had to take expensive medicine to stay alive all year round and had not fulfilled her duties as a queen at all, her position remained unshakable.

Concubine Zhao adjusted the hem of her skirt and sat up straighter.

She wanted to see what Emperor Mingde would do since the matter involved the Queen.

Bringing the Queen into this was indeed a brilliant move.

"The Queen lost her jade cat, so it's understandable that she wants to find it. Mother, you are in charge of the six palaces, why don't you handle it impartially and force me to admit that I am a thief?"

Su Yinyue coldly questioned Concubine Zhao, "Your daughter-in-law is a thief, so you look so proud?"

When Concubine Zhao saw the fire burning herself, her mind started working quickly and she tried to make excuses.

"Wynn!"

Emperor Mingde stroked the raised pattern on his cuffs and interrupted the meaningless argument. "You personally lead people to find the maid who delivered the wooden box to Princess Yu."

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly today!"

Emperor Mingde slapped the coffee table. The sound was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.

"Yes."

Concubine Zhao felt a chill down her spine and tried to remain calm as she sat down on the chair.

Lady Lin did not have as much self-control as her, and she twisted and turned in her chair, feeling uneasy.

"Eunuch Huai En, wait a moment."

Su Yinyue stopped Huai En who was about to leave, glanced at Cui Yi who was still immersed in fear, and said, "Take her with you."

Under Huai En's surprised gaze, Su Yinyue half-knelt in front of Cui Yi and grabbed her shoulders with both hands.

"The maid pretending to be you is wearing the same clothes as you. She is most likely someone you know. Think carefully about who among the people you know is abnormal."

"Find this person, and you won't be blamed."

"Remember, you have to take control of your own life."

Cui Yi's dim eyes brightened slightly, as if she had regained strength. She wiped away her tears and followed Huai En out.

The mint scent burning on the central carpet gave off wisps of white smoke that slowly spread like gel, making it hard for everyone to breathe.

The longer you wait, the harder it becomes.

The queen felt a dull pain in her chest, but she forced herself to cheer up and said, "Your Majesty, it was I who insisted on searching Princess Yu's body."

"Princess Yu refused to hand over the jade cat, so I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."

The queen choked up a little, "Without the jade cat, I can't sleep or eat well."

The haggard face moved Emperor Mingde, and he spoke carefully, "Yinyue, the queen is your biological mother, you should show your filial piety and help the queen resolve her worries."

Before Su Yinyue could speak, Jiang Zaiyu lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, "Father, my son and the princess were both detained in the palace by the palace servants of Renming Palace. The princess is suspected of stealing the queen's jade cat, and my son cannot be ruled out."

"I am willing to be searched by the palace servants together with the princess to help my mother resolve her worries."

Su Yinyue frowned. Has his brain been damaged by reading so many sage books?

In fact, Jiang Zaiyu was worried that she would say something shocking again and really anger Emperor Mingde.

Emperor Mingde looked relaxed. The Fifth Prince was indeed his favorite prince and he would never make things difficult for him.

Jiang Zaiyu continued, "I only ask that the emperor will order his son to be executed. I have no face to live after being humiliated like this for no reason."

"...!"

The smile on Emperor Mingde's face disappeared in an instant, and raging anger spread silently, as if a volcano was about to erupt.

The pressure was so great that no one dared to look up.

Emperor Mingde's face was as gloomy as water. Were the couple deliberately going against him?

Each one of them speaks more rudely than the other.

If he didn't know that Jiang Zai Yu was a very pure and filial person, he would have suspected that he was trying to piss him off to death in order to ascend the throne.

Concubine Zhao's lips trembled, and she was so excited that she spoke incoherently, "Yu'er, how could you, how could you... do you want to kill your mother?"

The queen's chest heaved and she began to cry unconsciously.

Jiang Zaiyu was a child who grew up under her care and was very respectful to her. The queen felt heartbroken when she forced him to death for a dead object.

Should she give up trying to retrieve the jade cat?

Emperor Mingde frowned, his voice was cold and without a trace of warmth, "Old Fifth, are you going to force me to kill my son?"

There are too many emperors in history who killed their sons.

Su Yinyue's temples were throbbing. Jiang Zaiyu was her biggest backer, and she didn't want to witness history.

"Father, the prince sees that the atmosphere is too dull, so he wants to play a joke on everyone."

She covered Jiang Zaiyu with her hands, signaled him with her eyes not to add fuel to the fire, and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a body search? Go ahead and search, my daughter-in-law will cooperate with you."

Seeing that there was a step, Emperor Mingde quickly went down.

"Hahaha, I knew that Lao Wu was a good person."

Emperor Mingde personally helped Jiang Zaiyu up and asked him to sit down.

Then he raised his hand and called a palace maid, "Princess Yu is careless, go find the queen's jade cat."

Seeing the worry in Jiang Zai Yu's eyes, Su Yinyue smiled calmly to reassure him.

The imperial maid rolled up her sleeves and touched Su Yinyue's body three times in the expectant, nervous, or malicious eyes of the crowd.

Only a few silver bills and a few silver ingots were found, nothing else.

"Your Majesty, Empress, and Princess Yu, all of her things are here, except for the jade cat."

"How, how is it possible?"

Concubine Zhao had a pale face and was holding the armrest tightly.

She couldn't understand why something that was set in stone wasn't found.
