My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

The emperor thought the queen nodded and thought it made sense.

The imperial kitchen and the imperial pharmacy must be checked as well.

In short, anything that Concubine Ling would come into contact with must be carefully checked inside and out.

The people who are most intolerable in this palace are those who use tricks and clever tricks.

"The Empress is truly thoughtful about this matter. I hadn't even thought of this." The Emperor pinched his brows and continued, "I've been very anxious these past few days because of Concubine Ling's affairs. Adding to this the matter of Zhihua and Xiaoyanzi, I've been even more upset."

The Queen looked at the Emperor and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, the matter will be resolved. The most important thing right now is to resolve the matter of Concubine Ling."

At this moment.

The Queen had just finished speaking.

Xia Yingying suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."

The emperor looked at Xia Yingying and said, "Speak."

"If the culprit is found, I wonder how Your Majesty will deal with him." Xia Yingying asked cautiously.

"Let's talk about it after we catch him first."

The emperor said.

The Empress waited for the Emperor to finish speaking before turning to look at Xia Yingying and asking, "By the way, why isn't Aunt Zhang by Xia Yingying's side here today? And where are the other palace maids and eunuchs?"

After Xia Yingying heard the Queen's question.

I felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

She stammered, "I sent them all away."

However, Rong Mama, who was standing quietly at the door, was so sleepy that she kept yawning, but she did not dare to relax at all.

Madam Rong raised her hand and pinched her face to sober herself up.

But at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed past the door.

Rong Mama instantly perked up, shouted loudly, and even ran out quickly.

By the time he ran to the door, the black shadow had already been controlled by his men.

Madam Rong looked at the man in front of her who was controlled by her men. Although he was wearing black clothes and had a black mask on his face, his figure still made him look very familiar.

"Why is it you? It really is you."

After Rong Mama took off her mask, although she was a little surprised at first, it was ultimately within her expectations.

After hearing the noise outside, the Queen said, "Your Majesty, there seems to be some movement outside. Let's go out and take a look."

The emperor stood up from his seat and walked out without saying a word, without giving any response to the queen and Xia Yingying.

Xia Yingying was completely confused at this moment.

She followed the Queen and walked out with the Emperor.

The moment she reached the door, Xia Yingying was stunned.

Nanny Zhang was tightly controlled by two eunuchs.

The Empress walked over to the Emperor and looked at Aunt Zhang in feigned surprise. She then turned to Aunt Rong and asked, "What's going on? Why are you two holding onto Aunt Zhang? Why don't you just let go?"

After hearing the Queen's words, the two young eunuchs didn't know what to do for a moment. They looked at each other for a while and then let go of Nanny Zhang.

Aunt Zhang knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

"Raise your head." The emperor said seriously.

The moment Nanny Zhang raised her head, her eyes met the emperor's majestic gaze. "May the emperor be blessed."

"Tell me, what on earth are you doing dressed like this so late at night?" the emperor demanded. "If you don't tell me the truth, I will order you to be imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court right now."

When Aunt Zhang heard the words "Zongrenfu", she immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

The clan house is not a place for human beings to stay.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life." Nanny Zhang trembled. "I will confess the truth."

"Then why don't you make yourself clear?"

The Queen agreed.

Nanny Zhang paused and said, "Yes...my family promised to order me to steal the medicine jar from the Imperial Pharmacy, but...but the medicine jar seems to have been put away by the Imperial Pharmacy staff. I searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so I had to return first."

"What medicine jar are you looking for?" the Queen asked. "Is your wife feeling unwell? If so, why not just have the Imperial Hospital physician come over? Why do something so shameful, wearing black clothes and a mask?"

"This is the medicine pot that Concubine Ling used to boil the medicine to preserve her pregnancy."

Aunt Zhang answered the questions truthfully.

Dare not hide anything.

"What do you mean? What's the purpose of this medicine jar?" The Queen saw that Nanny Zhang always answered questions one by one, and she immediately became angry. "Tell me the whole story in detail. Don't hide anything."

"Yes, yes, I dare not."

Aunt Zhang's eyes were filled with horror.

She raised her head and looked at her master, then came to her master and started crying with tears and snot.

"I'm sorry. It's not that I want to betray you, but if I don't tell you, I'm afraid my life will be in danger." After saying this, Nanny Zhang crawled to the emperor and empress and confessed everything she had done. "Your Majesty and empress, everything was promised to me by my mother. She said that as long as I secretly sprinkled the medicine jar with the medicine, it would be done without anyone noticing. Even if... even if they investigated, they wouldn't find it in our Gyeongbokgung Palace."

Xia Yingying was so angry after hearing what Aunt Zhang said that she almost fainted on the spot.

She had never expected that Nanny Zhang would betray her halfway.

Xia Yingying looked at the emperor in panic, "Your Majesty, these are all lies made up by Aunt Zhang. She is wrongly accusing me. I did not ask Aunt Zhang to do these things... I have no grudge against Concubine Ling, so how could I do such a heinous thing? Even if... even if I did it, what good would it do me?"

At this moment, the emperor was still skeptical about Nanny Zhang's confession.

The Queen knew what the Emperor was thinking. She slowly asked, "Madam Zhang, why do you think we should believe what you said?"

Nanny Zhang knew they wouldn't believe what she said.

She looked towards a cabinet in the room and said, "Your Majesty, the package my family promised me is hidden in that cabinet. If you don't believe me, you can have someone search inside."

The words fell.

Xia Yingying suddenly became anxious.

She walked up to Aunt Zhang and slapped her, "Aunt Zhang, you... why are you talking nonsense? What the hell? When did I ever give you anything? Huh?"

The emperor and the queen were stunned by Xia Yingying's action.

The emperor shouted at Xia Yingying, "Xia Yingying, why don't you leave immediately? You punished the servants in front of me and the queen. Do you even care about me and the queen? Moreover, do you think you are the boss of the harem by doing this?"

Xia Yingying knelt on the ground immediately after hearing what the emperor said.

She didn't even dare to look the emperor in the eyes.

When the emperor saw Xia Yingying kneeling on the ground, he quickly winked at Xiao Luzi.

Xiao Luzi immediately ran in and searched the cabinet, but did not find what Nanny Zhang mentioned.

"Your Majesty, it has not been found."

Xiao Luzi answered truthfully.

After hearing what Xiao Luzi said, Aunt Zhang shook her head repeatedly.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Nanny Zhang continued, "I clearly saw my master take it out of the cabinet. I couldn't be wrong."

Xia Yingying laughed secretly. Fortunately, she had moved the things somewhere else. If they had been found on the spot, it would have been fatal.

But she never expected that Nanny Zhang would betray her after the incident.

"Madam Zhang, I treated you sincerely, but you treated me like this. You really make me feel so disappointed."

Xia Yingying wiped her tears and cried about the grievances in her heart.

"Your Majesty and Empress, I did see my master take something out of the cabinet and then hide it again." Nanny Zhang kept repeating this sentence.

Xiao Luzi then turned around and ran in, starting to search the entire room inside and out, top to bottom.

Within a moment.

Xiao Luzi was holding something wrapped in a silk handkerchief.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Luzi bent down and handed the item in his hand to the emperor, "I just found this under Xia Da's bed."

"open to take a look."

The queen said as she looked at what was in Xiao Luzi's hand.
