The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

The Second Prince heard Xu Yao's defense, as if he had suddenly grasped a huge handle, and immediately rushed out and said: "Are you eager to make a contribution, so you wrongly accuse the Duke of Zhenguo? The Duke is a pillar of the country, how can you be so vicious and set such a sinister trap?"

The third prince was caught off guard by this scene, and in panic he wanted to grab Xu Yao and force her to explain.

Seeing how anxious he looked, the second prince was afraid that he would kill the witness, so he stepped forward and tried to stop him.

The third prince became angry and pushed the second prince hard.

During the shoving and pushing, something fell to the ground with a thud.

When Xu Yao saw the thing, she was stunned. Isn't this the glass key that Bai Lingzhi asked her to steal? How come it is in the possession of the Second Prince?

The third prince was about to rush over, but was stopped by the guards beside him and pulled back.

He was still unwilling to give in. When he pushed the second prince down just now, the things that fell out were all accidents and were not important.

The only important thing is the female assassin in front of you who is talking nonsense.

The emperor finally couldn't help but shouted, "Enough."

Everyone quieted down at this point. Pei Shuo looked at Xu Yao in surprise and suspicion. For a moment he couldn't tell whether she was a friend or an enemy.

He looked up at his father, the Duke of Zhenguo, who signaled him to stay calm with his eyes.

They received news in advance and knew that the emperor was going to bring out witnesses to confront the Pei family, so the Duke of Zhenguo was not completely unprepared.

At least in the case of Xun Yangzi, they didn't offer him up on their own initiative.

They could easily argue that they asked Xun Yangzi to treat the lady, and that Mrs. Pei was indeed feeling unwell recently.

It could also be said that they were worried about their daughter's marriage, so they wanted to ask Xun Yangzi for a fortune. After all, Madam Pei was indeed ridiculed by everyone in the capital because her marriage was canceled.

It is natural for a husband to worry about his wife, and it is also natural for parents to care for their wife and daughter.

The reason why Xun Yangzi attacked was because someone spread the news to the emperor. The emperor was deceived by someone. It was not their fault. They were also victims.

They were already prepared to accept the emperor's interrogation, but who could have imagined that the fire-making girl from the Liu family would cause such trouble.

The emperor had no other eyes at this moment, only staring at the glass key that had fallen to the ground. "Bring that thing here for me to see."

The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. The young eunuch stepped forward and respectfully handed the broken key to the head eunuch.

The chief eunuch handed the item to the emperor, who held it in his hand with cold eyes as he looked at the second prince. "Where did you get this?"

The second prince paused, also puzzled: "Father, this is not my son's thing. I have never seen it before."

"That's complete nonsense. If it's not yours, why would it fall from you? Could it be that someone is framing you in broad daylight?"

The second prince realized that this thing might have a complicated origin. He couldn't figure out the emperor's mentality, so he could only look at the third prince.

"Father, I really don't know what this is. Maybe my third brother knows."

The Third Prince sneered: "Brother, what are you saying? Are you assuming that everyone is blind? This thing clearly fell from you, what does it have to do with me?"

His eyes were fixed on Xu Yao, as if he wished to cut Xu Yao into pieces.

The emperor saw his expression and seemed to be thinking about something.

Xu Yao felt that something was wrong. Was this thing really the second prince's?

The Zuixian Pavilion that he had been to seemed to really belong to the Second Prince. But why did he carry this thing with him, and why did he happen to drop it again?

Xu Yao had a headache. She stole the real one and gave the fake one to Zuixian Pavilion. Now she didn't know whether this one was real or fake.

I can only blame myself for not being curious at the time, what exactly is this thing? I didn't expect that this key would have such a crisis today.

Xu Yao's intuition told him that something was wrong with the emperor's eyes.

This thing is very important. It might decide her fate today, or even the fate of the second prince.

The second prince was still wondering what that thing was and why it appeared on his body when suddenly someone came from outside to report that someone who was delivering a letter to the Pei family was caught.

This person explained that yesterday he was ordered by the Second Prince to go to the Pei family to deliver the message.

As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in uproar. Minister Liu tried his best to act like a quail, as long as no one paid attention to him.

It happened so coincidentally, Xu Yao didn't believe you if you said there was no problem.

Does the emperor believe it?

The emperor looked at his two sons thoughtfully and actually asked the man to come in.

The guard who came in was leading a man, who was a guard from the Palace Front Department.

The Palace Guards were directly under the emperor's command and were the emperor's most trusted guards.

The guards reported that they discovered someone was secretly delivering information to the Pei family yesterday. They followed secretly and finally found the person and captured him. However, they discovered that the person was a young eunuch serving the second prince.

The queen was originally waiting for news outside, but when she heard the palace maid report, she rushed over without stopping.

Now that the Queen has arrived, Concubine Wu will naturally not be idle.

The two arrived almost at the same time. The emperor looked at his wives and concubines with cold eyes without saying a word.

The second prince looked at the little eunuch nervously and did not dare to look at his mother.

Didn't the Queen Mother say that she sent someone to stop this person yesterday? Why did she go to the Pei family to pass on the message? Could this person be the Pei family's insider in the palace?

He was nervous for a moment, and felt that he was being plotted against, and the person who was plotting against him was none other than the Third Prince.

But the Third Prince only had Xu Yao in his eyes, and didn't care at all about what happened to the Second Prince.

Concubine Wu, on the other hand, cried tenderly, "Your Majesty, Qi'er was also worried about you and was anxious to find out who was the real culprit behind the scenes. Who would have thought that this fire-making girl would actually turn against us and plot against us. You must be vigilant and clear Qi'er's name."

As he spoke, he looked fiercely at the second prince.

The queen's mind worked quickly, and she knew that if she jumped out to refute the imperial concubine's words at this moment, the argument between the two would only make the emperor more disgusted.

What's more, the emperor's eyes were obviously not right when he saw that thing, so the queen knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there are traces of Yuan Qingzong behind today's events. Whether it is the second prince or the third prince, I am afraid that these two children are not good at judging people and are being schemed by Yuan Qingzong. These people are vicious and not only want to sow discord between the royal father and son, but also want Your Majesty to attack the pillars of the country. I believe that the Pei family has the intention of treason and regicide.

If Your Majesty is impulsive today and believes in the evil plot of the villain, not only will the father and son kill each other, but also destroy the foundation. This is a disaster for our Great Zhou. Please don't follow the path of Yuan Qingzong, which will cause chaos in the court, father and son killing each other, and the emperor and his ministers to fall out. "

The queen's words were so powerful and righteous that everyone was silent.

Xu Yao couldn't help but applaud in his heart. It was brilliant, really brilliant. In the situation just now, the groups of people were almost on the verge of a fight, and Concubine Wu was like a firecracker that rushed out to light the fire. Who knows, they might come to blows in the next second.

The queen's words were like a sedative, calming everyone down instantly.

Xu Yao concluded that the Third Prince must have used his hand to plot against the Second Prince.

I thought his target was the Pei family, but who knew his ultimate goal was the second prince.
