Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

The young eunuchs were already frightened to death seeing so many nobles present. Their minds were in a mess and they could not think of defending themselves. They were trembling even when putting on their clothes.

But at least they put it on, and several people hurriedly bowed down and kowtowed again, repeatedly begging for forgiveness.

They are not fools. They are not going to survive after being seen naked by so many important people. But they still have families. Even if they have to die, they have to beg for mercy desperately to protect their families before dying!

Nanny He glanced at them with disdain, then looked up at her master, walked straight forward and questioned them again.

"Tell me now! Who ordered you to defile the palace? Who's behind this?"

Several young eunuchs looked at each other subconsciously and didn't dare to say anything. They just kowtowed and begged the nobles in the palace not to implicate their family members.

The Empress lost her patience. She glanced at the people beside her and her face darkened. "I don't have the time to listen to your nonsense. If you don't say anything, I'll have the people from the Ministry of Punishment drag you away and punish you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the young eunuchs turned pale with fear and kowtowed even more vigorously. Soon, blood oozed from their foreheads, and they looked quite pitiful against their slender bodies.

Concubine An also joined in with a smile, her eyes slightly narrowed as she spoke casually, "Yes, the Empress was holding a palace banquet, and you guys shouldn't have served her properly, but you ran to a place like this and made trouble. Could it be that someone led you here?"

The eyes of the young eunuchs also lit up, and some of them were smart enough to speak up to defend themselves.

"Please spare my life, Madam! I came here to help, but I happened to meet Miss Mu on the way. She said she was not feeling well and asked me to help her find a hall to rest. I don't know how she fainted."

Once someone spoke up like this, the others naturally reacted and started speaking with their heads held high, trying to mitigate their guilt.

"Yes, we came here to help because we saw that Miss Mu was not feeling well. We don't know how she collapsed here, and when she woke up, she was already like this."

"I came here to help. I don't know how I offended Miss Mu to end up like this. I didn't mean to do this! Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty!"

I didn’t expect that this matter actually involved a noble lady from Jinghua?

Before the concubines could say anything, the noble ladies who were peeking outside at the hall gasped and couldn't help but look strange.

But after a while, there seemed to be some casual discussions among the crowd.

"Oh, come to think of it, Miss Mu hasn't come back since she left the table just now. Could it be that she really did this?"

Before everyone had time to be shocked, they subconsciously began to think about what he said.

The next second, there was an angry rebuke in my ears.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ahri has been chatting with me the whole time. When did she come here? Did you see it yourself?"

Hearing the noise outside, the Queen couldn't help but turn her head to look over, and saw three figures slowly walking towards her, but their expressions were not very good and they were a little confused.

The person who had just spoken instantly hid back in the crowd, trying to conceal her presence. Even the people around her quickly stepped forward a few steps to help cover up.

Even though Lu Zhiyao usually didn't like to talk to people, her face showed some real anger at this moment. She raised her chin without any hesitation and directly revealed the identity of the person who had just spoken.

"Chang Yun, weren't you shouting happily just now? Why don't you come out now and explain to us what you meant by that sentence just now?"

Chang Yun didn't expect that her casual suggestion would be noticed by others, and her identity would be exposed at this moment.

Even Mrs. Chang's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously protected her daughter and helped explain.

"Princess, please forgive me. Yun'er is still young and straightforward. She sometimes speaks without thinking too much. Please don't take it seriously."

The other noble ladies around also looked at each other strangely after hearing this. They said that whether they had children or not, they were already at the age to get engaged. How young could they be?

Some of the straightforward noble ladies even had a hint of sarcasm on their faces. They had not forgotten what happened at the coming-of-age ceremony at the Mu Mansion last time. They didn't expect that some people really didn't learn the lesson at all.

There was just the right amount of confusion on Mu Qingli's face. He followed the princess and walked over with a slight smile on his lips, his attitude frank.

"The princess is right. I was curious as well. We chatted for a while and just returned to the main hall when I heard something happened, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect that someone would even suspect me."

Cheng Qin almost cursed back at his daughter, but the moment he saw his daughter, he quickly walked to his daughter's side, his words full of concern.

"You, kid, should pay attention to the time when chatting with the princess. What if you get a headache after being exposed to the wind for so long?"

Mu Qingli patted her hand gently to comfort her, his eyes full of coldness, and Qiu Jin followed behind him.

"Mom, I'm fine. I just ran into the princess when I came out and found a quiet place to chat for a while. Who knew that when I came back, I heard that something happened."

Gu Luoheng also came with them and kept a distance from them. At this time, he glanced at everyone with a cold face and asked about the situation.

"What's wrong with you ladies? Why are you throwing dirty water on others for no reason?"

At this point, the queen couldn't help but speak, so she took a few steps towards them and asked.

"Huining, was Miss Mu with you guys the whole time?"

Who knew that Princess Huining shook her head slightly, with a cold look on her face.

"No, I came out first. Miss Mu happened to pass by and we chatted for a while. We felt we got along pretty well, so we found a place to chat. Master Gu returned to the main hall later and we happened to run into each other, so we came here together. What happened to the Imperial Aunt?"

The child had a miserable life experience and could not affect the children at home. The queen still felt a little pity for her. Not wanting to dirty her ears, she waved her hand and said nothing more.

Who knew that someone would not give in and would stare at them with a smile.

"I wonder when and where the princess met someone? Princess Huining is simple-minded. If she runs into someone clever, she might get tricked without even realizing it."

Mu Qingli was not afraid at all. He looked up at his luggage calmly and asked softly.

"So, Your Majesty Yingfei is saying that I deliberately tricked the princess into testifying for me? I know that Your Majesty dislikes me because of the princess, so I won't defend myself.

We came all the way from Yunshui Pavilion. There are many palace servants coming and going, so we should be able to find some who saw us. As long as the Empress sends someone to ask, the truth will be clear."
