Quickly wear the crazy batch of bosses, stop being lazy

What a great Fourth Prince! !

Humph! Meng Mu snorted in her heart. She held Yun Qian and Zhou Xiaoyin's hands tightly and walked quickly towards the queen.

When they arrived, most of the wives from various families were already there.

The queen was sitting dignifiedly on the first seat, her beautiful eyes staring coldly at the palace maid kneeling below, as if she could see through her body the secrets hidden deep in her heart.

At this moment, the queen noticed the arrival of Meng Mu and others.

So she raised her hand slightly and waved lightly, signaling the servants beside her to seat them.

As Meng Mu and others slowly took their seats, the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became solemn and depressing again, like the suffocating silence before the storm.

"How did you get the key to that lock? Tell the truth now!!"

The imposing maidservant beside the queen widened her eyes, stared at the kneeling maid below with anger on her face, and questioned in a stern voice.

This sudden question was like a thunderclap in the air, causing everyone present to tremble in their hearts.

Hearing these words, the little palace maid shrank suddenly all over, like a frightened little rabbit.

She swallowed hard, her throat rolling a few times, but finally shook her head gently, and said in a trembling voice: "This slave... This slave really doesn't know..."

"Hmph! Do you mean to say that Madam Meng is lying?" The senior palace maid raised her eyebrows, her tone became increasingly sharp, and she pressed on step by step.

The little palace maid was suddenly panicked, her heart was in a tangled mess and she didn't know what to do.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but the words just wouldn't come out. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, wetting her pale cheeks.

Just when everyone thought that the interrogation was about to reach a stalemate, no one expected that the little palace maid's eyes suddenly changed, and a hint of determination flashed across them.

Then, she stood up without hesitation and rushed towards the corner of the table like crazy.

Looking at the palace maid bumping into him, Yun Qian said, "......"

Seeing this, Meng's mother's eyes became fierce and she suddenly reached out to move the table next to Yun Qian away.

"Puff-"

The palace maid had no object to bump into, so she came into direct contact with the floor.

The palace maid who wanted to commit suicide was dumbfounded. When she came to her senses, she was about to continue hitting the stone. However, not only she reacted, but others also reacted.

The queen quickly ordered someone to push her down to the ground.

Seeing that she would rather die than speak, the queen said expressionlessly, "Take her away first, and when we return to the palace, throw her directly to the Ministry of Punishment!"

After a while, the little palace maid was taken away.

The queen did not signal everyone to leave, so everyone present sat there silently, waiting for the old emperor to return.

Time passed by minute by minute, as if it was infinitely stretched, and the anxiety and uneasiness in everyone's hearts gradually accumulated.

I don’t know how long it took, but finally I heard footsteps and noisy voices in the distance.

After a while, the majestic figure of the old emperor appeared in everyone's sight.

A group of attendants followed closely behind him, all with serious expressions.

However, before everyone could come forward to pay their respects, a shocking piece of news came to the old emperor's ears like a bolt from the blue: his fourth son had turned into a eunuch!

The moment he heard the news, the old emperor's aura suddenly became low and suppressed, and an invisible pressure spread, which made people feel fearful.

"Your Majesty—"

With a loud shout, the emperor strode quickly towards where everyone was.

Seeing this, the ladies and girls present hurriedly stood up and respectfully saluted the emperor.

The emperor's face was as gloomy as water, his lips were tightly closed, he said nothing, and walked straight to the first seat.

After he was seated firmly, he raised his hand slightly to let everyone off the hook.

The emperor's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. After scanning the entire audience, he finally fixed his gaze on Yun Qian.

He stared at her closely, frowning slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Is Changle okay?"

At this moment, Yun Qian was like a withered lotus in the wind. She stood up slowly and weakly, first covering her lips with a handkerchief, coughing heavily twice, and then replied very weakly: "Your Majesty, Changle is fine."

Hearing this, the emperor nodded slightly to show that he was relieved.

Then, he turned his gaze elsewhere and continued to ask, "Where is Lady Liu?"
