The soul-transmigrating princess was neglected, and the twins beat up their father

When Yun Muheng heard Ye Chuxue's exclamation, he walked over quickly, with a serious expression and a frown on his face, and took the golden lock from her hand to check it.

Then Concubine Lan took out Ye Xiaoyuan's gold locket and handed it to Doctor Zhang, saying coldly, "Check it again! If there are any mistakes this time, I will not forgive you!"

Doctor Zhang panicked. He hadn't really paid attention to the color of gold before; after all, it wasn't something he encountered every day. He quickly bent forward and carefully took the gold lock in his hands. "Yes, I'll examine it carefully!"

Doctor Zhang then looked carefully around, and after a moment he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I have a humble request. Could you please give me a gold ingot for comparison?"

The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Liu quickly brought over a gold ingot. When the two were compared side by side, it was obvious that the color of the gold lock was much darker.

So everyone looked at the queen suspiciously.

The Queen calmed herself down and said sternly, "Why? Do you suspect the gold I gave you is fake?"

Ye Chuxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm. "Empress Dowager, no one would question the authenticity of the gold in this locket. After all, you are the mother of a nation, so you can have as much gold as you want. However, my daughter-in-law's focus is not on the authenticity of the gold itself, but why it suddenly changed color."

The Queen's eyes began to wander, as if her heart was in turmoil, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and replied calmly, "This golden lock was specially crafted by the Imperial Household Department after I learned that Princess Yunxin was about to give birth. Perhaps due to the erosion of time, the color of the lock has changed slightly, which is understandable."

Concubine Lan smiled and interjected, "The Empress is truly foresighted. She actually knew in advance that Xue'er would give birth to two children. Even I only learned of this recently."

The Queen chuckled and replied, "Sister, you're joking. I don't have any foresight. I was simply envious of your good fortune, so I specifically ordered someone to forge an extra golden lock. I thought that if the Third Prince got married and had children in the future, I wouldn't have to waste time and effort on forging a new one. Unexpectedly, by such a coincidence, Princess Yunxin gave birth to two children at once."

Ye Chuxue sneered in her heart: Since you insist on continuing to pretend, then I will help you and see how you deal with it next.

Ye Chuxue walked slowly to the table, stretched out her hand to pick up the gold lock and gold ingot, weighed them in her hand for a few times, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she muttered to herself: "Huh? This is a bit wrong. According to common sense, this gold lock plus the necklace should be heavier than this gold ingot, how could it be the other way around? Is there something fishy here?" After saying that, she deliberately glanced at the queen sitting next to her with the corner of her eye.

When the queen heard this, her heart sank, her head buzzing, and she cursed inwardly: This damned girl, was she sent by God to oppose me? Why does she always have to ruin my plans? No, I can't just sit there and wait for death, I have to find a way to deal with it quickly. If they really discovered the poison hidden in the golden lock, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The Queen's thoughts raced as the corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a gentle smile. She softly explained, "Princess Yunxin, there's no need to be suspicious. I've considered this a gift for a child, so I specifically instructed the Imperial Household Department to make it hollow. This way, it will be lighter and easier for the child to wear."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue pretended to understand and nodded, but then frowned again and said doubtfully, "So that's how it is. But why does my daughter-in-law always feel like there's something inside the gold lock?"

After hearing this, the Queen's face darkened instantly, a glint of anger flashing in her eyes as she glared at Ye Chuxue fiercely. Her voice was filled with authority and anger: "Princess Yunxin, what do you mean by this? Do you doubt me? You are committing treason! You have no respect for your elders!"

The emperor's expression turned extremely ugly. He frowned and said to Ye Chuxue angrily, "Princess Yunxin! How could you speak to the Empress Dowager like that? Apologize to her immediately!"

Ye Chuxue remained unmoved. She straightened her body, looked at the emperor with a determined gaze, then knelt down with a plop and said righteously, "Father, I have no intention of offending the Empress Dowager. I simply want to seek the truth! If I open this golden lock and there's nothing inside, I'm willing to let the Empress Dowager deal with me. But if there really is a secret hidden inside, then please, Father, make the decision for me and our two children!"

The Queen was so angry that she was shaking all over. She glared at Ye Chuxue and said through gritted teeth, "What do you mean by this? If you don't want to accept my gift, you can just say so. I won't give you any more. Why are you accusing me here?"

After saying this, the queen winked at the personal maid behind her, indicating that she should take back the two golden locks.

At this moment, Yun Muheng stepped forward and stood firmly in front of Ye Chuxue. He looked directly at the Queen with cold eyes and said with a hint of sarcasm, "What's the matter? Is the Queen Mother feeling guilty?"

The Queen tried to remain calm, but the panic in her eyes was hard to conceal. She feigned composure and snorted coldly, "Humph, what a joke! I didn't do anything, so why should I feel guilty?"

Yun Muheng's lips curled up slightly, a sly look flashing in his eyes. He pressed on, "Since the Empress Dowager didn't do anything, why don't you let the Princess open the golden lock? If you do, wouldn't that prove your innocence?"

After saying this, Yun Muheng quickly snatched the golden lock from Ye Chuxue's hand and crushed it with his inner strength. After the golden lock was broken, the black pill hidden inside was instantly exposed.

The queen looked at the golden locket and the black pill inside that were crushed by Yun Muheng in horror. Her mind went blank for a moment and she stood there, at a loss.

The Emperor stared intently at the pill inside the golden lock, his expression terribly gloomy. He glared at the Empress fiercely, then turned to Doctor Zhang and said, "Doctor Zhang, come and see what this is."

Doctor Zhang bent down tremblingly, walked closer slowly, picked up the pill tremblingly, gently put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, looking at it carefully, his face suddenly changed, trembling all over, he fell to his knees with a thud, and stammered, "Your Majesty, this pill is made of worry-free grass. If people are in contact with worry-free grass for a long time, they will, people will..." Doctor Zhang hesitated how to say the rest.

However, at this moment, Concubine Lan was furious and shouted loudly: "What will happen? Tell me quickly!"

Doctor Zhang had no choice but to answer stubbornly: "It will make people stupid!" After saying that, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look directly at everyone.
