Father can be an enemy to the country

The prince's guess is absolutely correct. When the news reached Kunning Palace, the grandson was greeting Queen Ma, so he came with his grandma.

The queen is older and her legs are slower, so she came in now. But just now she was outside the door and saw the scene where Concubine Da Ding rushed towards Lao Liu and was knocked to the ground by the grandson.

"The Queen has arrived!" the eunuch sang, announcing her arrival.

"Mother." The two sons saluted quickly.

"Queen." Concubine Da Ding sat on the ground and said with grief and anger: "Xie, the Lord of the Sixth Palace, is the most just and kind. We ladies have been bullied to death, but Xie has to make the decision for us! Lao Ba If anything happened, I wouldn’t be able to live anymore..."

As she spoke she burst into tears.

"Stop crying!" Empress Ma shouted in a deep voice: "I have heard what happened from Lao Wu, what does this have to do with Lao Liu? It's fine if you don't thank Lao Liu for saving Lao Ba, why are you still blaming him? !?"

"If he hadn't come to catch Lao Ba, could Lao Ba be so scared that he committed suicide?" Concubine Da Ding pointed at Zhu Zhen and said firmly: "He must have frightened Lao Ba. That child has been quiet and timid since he was a child. How could he survive this?" Do you want to be scared?"

"You get up first, don't sit on the floor and act recklessly. Do you still have the decency of a royal concubine?" Empress Ma frowned and shouted, and Concubine Da Ding had to get up obediently. Then Empress Ma pointed at the prince and said, "The boss came with the sixth brother. You didn't ask him what happened, but you just relied on your own blind thinking and put all the blame on the sixth brother?"

"His mother and I have had a grudge against our three mothers since they were little!" Concubine Da Ding stared at Lao Liu with resentment.

"I have grudges with you and my mother, but not with Lao Ba." Zhu Zhen said speechlessly.

"You report him without any grudge..." Concubine Da Ding screamed and tried to punch her in the face again.

"Don't move!" Queen Ma shouted and said to her: "Come in with me first, and take a look at Lao Ba before talking."

"Alas..." Concubine Da Ding had no choice but to follow in obediently.

Sleeping inside.

After learning that the eighth child was in danger of dementia, Queen Ma also looked very unhappy. She had the prince called in alone for questioning.

However, in order to prevent Da Shi from going crazy with Lao Liu again, Queen Ma did not let her withdraw. It happened that I had gone in and out without pulling back the curtain, so the small door suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"You go inside for a while, don't close the door, so you can listen to what the prince has to say." Empress Ma didn't know the mystery behind the door, so she ordered Concubine Da Ding.

"Yes." Concubine Da Ding also didn't know what was inside, so she obediently pushed the door open and went in.

She went in with her front foot, and the prince came in with his back foot.

"Please tell me the story again carefully." Although Empress Ma had already heard Eunuch Wu tell it once. But she knows that people have tendencies in speaking. As long as you understate some key points without lying, the nature of the matter can completely change.

So we can only listen and understand. And she believed that the prince would not do this...

"Go back to your mother." The prince hurriedly told the whole story: "It is the father's will to let Lao Ba Baiyi go to the main courtyard of the Dazong to be tried. It was Erchen and Lao Wu who found Lao Liu. He was drinking at home, and he was picked up by Er. Chenla is here."

"After I came here, it was also my son who kept talking to Lao Ba. Lao Liu hardly spoke." The prince then said in a deep voice: "If someone insists on forcing Lao Ba, it is also my son. My original intention was to let him Let’s explain the problem clearly and see if we can help him pass this test, but he won’t tell whether he will live or die. I have no choice but to send him to the main courtyard first.”

"As a result, when he went in to change clothes, he pushed away the princess and hanged himself..." Zhu Biao sighed painfully: "I didn't think about that at all at the time. It was Lao Liu who heard something moving inside, and he I rushed in and rescued him..."

"It's basically the same as what Lao Wu said." Empress Ma nodded and asked, "What did Lao Ba do that made your father so angry?"

"What has been verified is that he deliberately concealed the fraud in the imperial examination." The prince hesitated for a moment, and then answered the truth:

"As a result, all the college students at Guozi University failed, and no one from the northern university was admitted."

"Hiss..." Queen Ma didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. After being stunned for a long time, he sighed and said: "Mom is old and has stopped asking about the affairs of the court for many years. But it's not like you don't want to talk to me about such a big thing, right?"

"The main reason is that firstly, because the case involves two princes, I asked for absolute confidentiality, so no one knows about Lao Qi and Lao Ba." The prince explained hurriedly: "Secondly, I thought that the matter has not been finalized. If they were wrongly accused, wouldn't it be a waste of worry for the Queen Mother? So I decided to wait until the truth comes out before reporting the matter to the Queen Mother."

"Why is there still something about Lao Qi?" Queen Ma's head was as big as a bucket after hearing this.

"It was Lao Qi who forced Lao Ba to protect Li Sanwu and his gang." The prince said softly: "Lao Qi seems to have some big handle on Lao Ba..."

"Absurd..." Queen Ma was speechless. She immediately raised her voice and said towards the small door: "Come out."

"Ah, Concubine Ding has gone in?" The prince, an expert in emotional management, didn't change his expression even if the mountain collapsed. At this moment, his jaw actually dropped.

"I want her to hear the truth. If she were here, you would have scruples about what she said." Queen Ma said calmly.

"It's really..." The prince was actually not surprised by this. He did it because Concubine Da Ding was actually hiding in Lao Ba's secret theater room. What a hell joke is this...

"Why don't you come out?" Seeing that Concubine Da Ding was still unwilling to walk out of the door, Queen Ma urged her twice more, and then ordered the palace servants: "Go and see what's wrong with Concubine Ding."

Before she finished speaking, Concubine Da Ding's panicked voice sounded inside: "No, it's okay. Don't come in, I'll go out right away..."

After saying that, she came out and locked the door with her backhand...

Queen Ma glanced at her and couldn't help but frown slightly. Because he found that the hatred and stubbornness on her face had faded, replaced by a look of panic and shame.

Queen Ma still didn't think about it that way. She just said that she felt bad because she heard that Lao Qi was involved. Then she said to Concubine Da Ding: "My son has no control over his mother, so don't be too sad. Let Lao Qi and Lao Ba teach you a lesson..."

"Oh, yes." Concubine Da Ding nodded numbly, obviously still immersed in the shock brought by her son's beloved gadgets.

She always thought that Lao Qi would be enough to disappoint her, but she didn't expect that Lao Ba, whom she had high hopes for, was also a fool who only cared about women.

Empress Ma didn't expect that Concubine Da Ding would accept it so readily, which made her hold back all the drafts she had written.

"Then let's wait for the emperor to decide how to deal with them." After she finished speaking, she stopped talking.
