Brother Huang, he has been planning for a long time

There were other servants in the palace. After seeing Qu Yunniang's injury, their eyes looked at Yue Qingqian with subtle changes.

It is indeed wrong to impose severe punishment on people before the matter is clarified.

Moreover, the eighth princess's methods were too cruel and vicious.

Yue Junxu listened to the accusation that was as deep as blood. When his eyes fell on Yue Qingqian again, he had already become a little colder.

He had always known that this daughter had an arrogant and domineering personality and was easily arrogant, so he did not give her much love.

But he didn't expect that her thoughts were so cold and vicious.

Queen Ran, who had just arrived, didn't know the truth. Nanny Song whispered the outline of the matter in her ear, and she glanced at the man on the dragon chair.

Then he walked to the dragon chair and said slowly: "She is just a brothel girl. If she is beaten, she will be beaten. If she is beaten wrongly, just ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her. The few of you are making a fuss and turning a small matter into a big one. How dignified is it to come to the palace? If word spread outside, people who don’t know would think that the prince consort and the prince were making trouble in the palace over a brothel girl. People’s words are scary, don’t you understand?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qingchen was about to speak, but his arm was held by Yue Qinghe beside him.

She looked at Yue Qinghe unclearly, and saw him shaking his head at her, as if telling herself, don't be impulsive.

No one in the palace dared to answer. Queen Ran looked at Yue Junxu and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Yue Junxu mostly dealt with matters in the court, and he did not have much contact with matters in the backyard.

But if you think about it deeply, it was your daughter who did something wrong, why should an innocent civilian have to bear the responsibility?

He pondered and did not respond to Queen Ran's words.

Seeing this, Queen Ran knew that he was wavering, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter can only be handled in a low-key manner, otherwise the people will really think that the consort and Qinghe are fighting over a brothel girl. If this matter spreads, it will be an insult to the royal family."

Yue Junxu's brows furrowed deeper.

"Besides, how much of this brothel woman's words can be trusted? Would the emperor really rather believe in outsiders than his own daughter?"

I have to say that Queen Ran changed the focus of the matter quickly and cleanly.

But Qingchen was not the cowardly character in her previous life. She shook off Yue Qinghe's hand, stepped forward and said loudly: "Father, the truth is that Yun Niang has something to ask for from me, and I can't leave the palace. I asked him from the beginning." The fifth emperor brother took himself out of the palace to find Yun Niang, but the emperor brother was busy with official duties and could not bring his son out of the palace. So the son returned and trusted his eighth brother-in-law to bring it to Yun Niang. This was something that the fifth emperor brother could do for his son. As proof. I also have a letter written by Yun Niang to me as proof."

As soon as these words were said, Yue Ji from Mingyue Palace came over with a letter.

Seeing this, Rong Quan hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Yue Junxu who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Yue Junxu opened it and saw that Qu Yunniang had indeed written a letter to her daughter in advance.

Qingchen ignored Queen Ran's gloomy expression and continued: "Yun Niang is indeed the daughter of a mother-in-law in Shangshu Mansion. She once accompanied her daughter through the most difficult years in Shangshu Mansion...the death of her mother. , it was she who accompanied her daughter here. The eighth brother-in-law also knew this, so when Yun Niang was in trouble, she had no way to contact her son, so she could only go to the eighth brother-in-law to send a message. But this matter was reported by the Eight Emperors My sister knew it and indiscriminately believed that Yun Niang was seducing the eighth brother-in-law, so she disfigured her, cut her hair, or even lynched her."

At this point, Qingchen's heart was extremely heavy, and mist filled her eyes. She looked at her father, and her voice was hoarse: "Father, isn't there a saying that the emperor's crimes are the same as those of the common people? If the Eight Emperors My sister made such a mistake, and was exposed by her mother with just a few words about family scandals that should not be publicized and insulted the royal family's face. Let the people of the world know how many people's hearts must be chilled and the reputation of my father, a wise king, at risk. Where?"

"Yue Qingchen, you are so impudent!" Queen Ran immediately lowered her angry voice and growled at her.

Not to mention that Queen Ran was angry, Yue Junxu also became angry after hearing these words.

His face darkened slightly, and his pair of deep black eyes were already sulky.

He wanted to speak, but the words Qingchen said just now echoed in his ears.

——She once accompanied her daughter through the most difficult years in Shangshu Mansion. She also accompanied her daughter through the death of her mother.

Yue Junxu stopped talking and looked down at the bruised woman in the palace.

From the beginning to the end, this woman was so injured that she did not dare to accuse Yue Qingqian. She just shook her head and denied what Yue Qingqian said.

What Queen Ran said didn't make sense, but it was the truth.

What Qingchen said is even more true.

Queen Ran next to her glared at Qingchen, "Yue Qingchen, as a princess, you shouldn't be friends with such a lowly brothel girl. Rumors have spread that if a princess has friends with a brothel girl, she will be ridiculed by the world. , do you still look like a princess? Now, not only do you have no repentance, but you also teamed up with your royal brother to get this brothel girl into the palace. Your Majesty, according to my concubine, this brothel girl has a deep scheming intention to bring the royal princess to the palace. You are playing around in circles. If you cause such a storm, you should be executed immediately! Otherwise..."

"No!" Qingchen immediately shouted: "From the beginning to the end, Yun Niang was the victim. The queen mother never thought about punishing the perpetrator, but wanted to execute a victim. This will let the world know that she is afraid I will say that Queen Mother, you...have evil thoughts!"

"You are so presumptuous!" Queen Ran was so angry that she almost jumped up.

Yue Qingqian also said angrily: "Yue Qingchen, why are you talking to my mother?"

Such words were too bold. If it were a slave who dared to say such words, he would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago.

Queen Ran was so angry that her temples were beating, and she wanted to rush down and tear Yue Qingchen's mouth open, but she knew that the man beside her loved her so much.

Just when he wanted to hit her, he stood up in a hurry to stop him.

Not to mention that now I want to squeeze her to death!

Empress Ran suppressed the anger in her chest, looked at the man beside her, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are so accustomed to being sober in daily life. The following words came out of her mouth, and she still felt that it was righteousness. Linlin. Today I was rude to my concubine, but in the future I may be rude to you, the emperor..."

Okay, if Yue Qingchen wants to die, she doesn't mind giving her a push.

Queen Ran pretended to understand the righteousness and everything was for the good of the children, but she secretly asked the emperor to educate Yue Qingchen himself.

Yue Junxu looked at the expressions of several people in the hall and sighed with a headache.

Qingchen explained the whole story.

Lao Wu can testify.

The eighth prince-in-law denied having an affair with the girl Qu, but he was just helping to deliver the message.

And Xiaoba did admit that he had hurt people and tortured them.

Things have become clear.
