Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

"What's going on?" Before Emperor Yin De spoke, the queen asked first.

Li Fuhai said, "Back to the Queen Mother, I heard that Ning Chongyuan suspected that her jade pendant had been stolen by Liu Yunv, Su Cai and Ji Xiurong, and was about to take a few people to go to the Queen Mother to explain it clearly."

"That's outrageous." Emperor Yinde scolded, "The queen needs to take care of her old age. Whenever she is distracted by matters concerning the harem, you bring them all to Fengyi Palace. I will personally examine this matter."

Emperor Yin De stood up and knew who was making unreasonable trouble in this matter without having to guess.

"Queen, please take good care of Jin'er. I'll go take a look first." After Emperor Yin De said this, he walked directly to the main hall.

The queen sat by the bed, originally thinking of reaping the benefits, but she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Su Qingyao and others were brought over quickly.

Emperor Yinde sat at the top and looked at the people who came in. The slap marks on Su Qingyao and Liu Yunv's cheeks were still so clear, and their buns were messy.

Ji Xiurong's bun was also messy, and Yi'an's eyes were already swollen from crying.

Ning Chongyuan, on the other hand, always maintained her image as a lady.

"See you, cousin." Ning Chongyuan saluted. Now Emperor Yin De was very angry when he heard her call her cousin.

Su Qingyao and others also bowed and said hello in a polite manner.

"Get up, An'an, come to the father." Emperor Yinde asked everyone to avoid courtesy and waved to Yi'an.

When Yi An saw Emperor Yin De, tears fell again for some reason.

Li Fuhai led her to Emperor Yinde. Emperor Yinde picked her up, asked her to sit on his lap, and helped her wipe her tears with a bright yellow handkerchief, "An'an, tell the emperor , why are you crying?"

"The jade pendant belongs to Empress Su, not Empress Ning. Father... wu wu wu..." Yi'an leaned into Emperor Yinde's arms and couldn't stop her tears.

Emperor Yin De could only coax her gently and said, "Ji Xiurong, what does An An mean by this?"

Ji Xiurong took a step forward and replied, "Your Majesty, while I was having breakfast with An An today, Ning Chongyuan took Lady Liu and her servants to the side hall of Huayang Palace, saying that Su Cairen stole her jade pendant and searched Su Cairen's east side palace. When he couldn't find his jade pendant, he began to slander me and search her palace. Concubine and Ning Chongyuan were together. As a concubine, I knew this was against the rules, but who knew that Ning Chongyuan forced her way into the concubine's palace and said that the jade pendant An An was wearing was hers, and that the jade pendant was clearly given to An An by Su Cairen a few days ago."

When Emperor Yinde heard the words about searching the palace, forcibly breaking in, and slandering, he could not hold back and asked in a cold voice, "Ning Chongyuan, are Ji Xiurong's words true?"

"Cousin, this jade pendant belongs to me." Ning Chongyuan walked to Emperor Yin De and said, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "Cousin, don't be deceived by these people."

"What I'm asking is, did you order people to search the palace? Did you break into Ji Xiurong's palace?" When Emperor Yinde asked this question, he didn't even look at Ning Chongyuan.

"Cousin, I just want to find my jade pendant. If I don't do this, how can I know that these people have such vicious intentions?" Ning Chongyuan said pretending to be innocent.

"Take the princess down." Emperor Yinde handed Yi'an to Li Fuhai, and Li Fuhai handed her to his mother.

Emperor Yin De didn't want his children to see what happened next.

"I remember that this jade pendant was not given to you by the Queen when you were conferring talents in the Jin Dynasty? You also said that it was given to the Queen by your father. You deserve it. Why are you in An'an now?" Emperor Yinde asked Su Qingyao. When speaking, try to soften your tone as much as possible.

Su Qingyao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I forgive you because that day, the eldest princess went to the concubine's palace, fell in love with this jade pendant, and said she also wanted one. The concubine thought that the eldest princess was the granddaughter of the late emperor. Why don't I just give this jade pendant to the princess? If my concubine did something wrong in this matter, please forgive me."

Emperor Yin De nodded slightly. He knew that Su Qingyao and Yi An had a good relationship, and Yi An was so young, so he definitely didn't blame her. "The things my father left behind are nothing for An An. It's just Yao'er, you can Do you still remember who gave it to her?"

Ning Chongyuan gave Su Qingyao a hard look. Her cousin was actually here, in front of so many people, calling her Yao'er, while calling herself Ning Chongyuan.

No wonder Concubine Shu said that my cousin is not just looking for temporary novelty.

"It happened several days ago. I really can't remember the specific day. Does Xiurong still remember it?" Su Qingyao glanced at Ji Xiurong and asked.

Ji Xiurong thought for a moment, "It seems like it was a rainy day."

Emperor Yinde turned to look at Ning Chongyuan, "When did you lose your jade pendant?"

Ning Chongyuan clutched the jade pendant tightly, her eyes full of grievance, "Cousin, do you doubt me?"

"Empress Chongyuan, Your Majesty just wants to find out the matter. Please reply truthfully." Li Fuhai, standing aside, reminded.

Before Ning Chongyuan could say anything, Lady Liu suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I saw yesterday that when Lady Chongyuan returned from Fengyi Palace, the servant next to her was holding a red sandalwood box. It’s the same box as the one Su Cairen used to put the jade pendant in. I wonder if it’s the jade pendant that Empress Chongyuan just got yesterday?”

"Are you going to say it yourself, or will I ask someone to ask the queen before you say it?" At this point in the trial, Emperor Yinde also knew what was going on. It seems that this matter has something to do with the queen.

Ning Chongyuan lowered her head, still holding a little hope in her heart.

"Cousin, you won't decide based on time that it's the jade pendant and it's not Rou'er's, right? What if they stole it? Wouldn't they have wronged Rou'er?"

"Don't worry, since I've taken care of this matter, I won't wrongly accuse anyone." Emperor Yinde said, snatching the jade pendant from Ning Chongyuan's hand, putting it in his hand and stroking it.

"The jade pendant is lost in the palace. It is not a small matter. Since the matter involves the four of you, for the sake of fairness, the palace needs to be searched. Since the side halls of Huayang Palace and Yongning Palace have been searched, Li Fuhai, you will take it with you personally. Go and search the main hall of Yongning Palace, and search carefully."

Emperor Yinde waved his hand, and Li Dehai immediately retreated with his people.

Ning Chongyuan also wanted to know where the jade pendant went. Shouldn't it be in a corner of the palace wall of Huayang Palace?

Li Fuhai worked quickly and came back with evidence after a while.

"Your Majesty, my slaves found this under a pillar in the corridor of the main hall of Huayang Palace." Li Fuhai held the evidence high with both hands, his body shaking like a sieve.
