Chapter 222 Hope Zhou Mu will inherit the throne
"Zhou Mu, you are so courageous, how dare you commit the following crime?!" Princess Duanqing was furious, and wanted to fight the case again.

But she remembered that Emperor Cheng De was there in time, and her arrogance suddenly weakened again.

"What I'm telling you is the truth. It's not because Her Royal Highness the Princess is from the imperial family. Some truths cannot be told." Zhou Mu's cold gaze was on Princess Qing's.

Princess Duanqing is the Queen Mother's beloved daughter, Zhou Mu taunted Princess Duanqing in front of her, how could the Queen Mother bear it?
She slapped the sandalwood table with her palm, "Presumptuous!!"

Zhou Mu looked at the Queen Mother, and was facing the angry face of the Queen Mother. His expression was frank: "What I said is the truth, why should I say it presumptuously? Could it be that just because His Royal Highness is the daughter of the Queen Mother, I can't tell the truth?" ?”

The Queen Mother was so angry that her throat was smoking. She had been in the harem all these years, and she had never seen such a ignorant person like Zhou Mu.

Didn't Zhou Mu point to her nose and say that she, the Queen Mother, has no way to teach daughters?
He is only a third-rank official, how dare he offend?

Even if the emperor valued Zhou Mu, it was impossible for the emperor to save face for Zhou Mu.

"Come here, take down Zhou Mu, and gag Aijia!!" The Queen Mother shouted.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chengde suddenly said: "In my opinion, although Zimo's words are not pleasant, they are also true. Yongjia is indeed a bit arrogant, otherwise, he would not want to ruin the evening with hot water at the food festival." Yan's appearance. This kind of behavior is not only arrogant and willful, but also vicious and vicious!"

While he was speaking, his gaze swept across the Queen Mother and Princess Duanqing.

Princess Duanqing and the Empress Dowager's expressions changed at the same time, they didn't know there was such a thing.

Furthermore, how did Emperor Chengde know that this happened at the food festival?

"Impossible, Yongjia would not do such a thing!" Princess Duanqing subconsciously defended Princess Yongjia.

The Queen Mother echoed: "Yes, how could Yongjia do such a thing? There must be someone spreading rumors, the emperor must not listen to greedy rumors."

"At that time there was a witness, Hu Die was outside, please let your Majesty tell Hu Die to come in, and you will find out as soon as you ask." Gu Xiyan said, and added: "Your Majesty may wish to invite Princess Yongjia over for questioning, and then you will know that Princess Yongjia Do you want to ruin the appearance of a civilian girl with hot water?"

Emperor Cheng De immediately complied with Gu Xiyan's request, and not only brought Hu Die in, but also the Princess Yongjia who was wearing a veiled cap.

After Hu Die entered, he told everything about the situation at that time.

Emperor Chengde looked at Princess Yongjia and asked, "Yongjia, is what Hu Die said true?"

Princess Yongjia clenched her fists tightly, she wanted to say it wasn't true, but lying in front of the emperor was deceiving the emperor, she didn't have the courage.

She stammered back: "I, I was just confused at the time..."

"A moment of confusion? A moment of confusion will ruin a girl's appearance?! Princess Yongjia's behavior, isn't it vicious, isn't it because she has no tutor?! If it wasn't for Hu Die's quick reaction at that time, the cup of hot water was splashed on Xi Yan's face , Princess Yongjia can easily get rid of it with a sentence of 'being confused for a while'?!" Zhou Mu interrupted Princess Yongjia's defense.

Thinking that Gu Xiyan's face was almost ruined by Princess Yongjia, he burned all inside, wishing to cut Princess Yongjia into pieces.

Princess Duanqing was beaten so hard by Zhou Mu's "no tutoring" again, but she couldn't refute it because Emperor Decheng was there.

The queen mother did not expect this to happen.It was originally that they wanted to trouble Gu Xiyan, but this time it was a good thing, instead Gu Xiyan and General Zhou Mu joined forces, and they became the one who was wronged.

Princess Yongjia was so annoyed by Zhou Mu's "vicious" words that she shed tears.

Wasn't it because of Zhou Mu that she wanted to ruin Gu Xiyan's appearance impulsively?
"Master Zhou, I, I like you, how can you be so cruel to me?!"

As soon as Princess Yongjia opened her mouth, Zhou Mu immediately moved away from her, and his evasive movements were very eye-catching.

"I, Zhou Mu, only like Xiyan in my life. I have no luck with other women. Besides, the marriage between me and Xiyan was bestowed by His Majesty, but Princess Yongjia is spreading rumors that His Majesty wants the Princess to be my wife. , This damages not only my reputation, but also disregards His Majesty's sacred order, which is a crime of disrespect!!"

When Zhou Mu said this, Princess Duanqing was terrified. She hurriedly got up, and pleaded with the unpredictable Emperor Chengde: "Brother, Yongjia is still young and acted recklessly. She knows she is wrong. Please forgive me." Brother, let me forgive her."

The Queen Mother also chimed in: "Yes, Yongjia is just a child. The child made a mistake. We adults should be more tolerant..."

"Yongjia is not young anymore, he has reached the age of marriage, and he can't reveal this matter just because he is too young." Emperor Chengde looked at Princess Yongjia: "Yongjia listens to the order!"

Princess Yongjia knelt down on the ground trembling slightly, knowing that she was about to be punished.

"Starting from today, Princess Yongjia will be banned for three months, and another year's salary and food will be deducted."

Emperor Cheng De spoke, and Princess Duanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother's face also softened a little.

Both the mother and daughter of the Queen Mother knew that Emperor Chengde acted harshly, but this time it was only a confinement and a fine, which was already a great grace of the emperor.

Fortunately, the title was not taken away, otherwise Yongjia would become No.1 since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty.

This is a blessing in misfortune.

In fact, Duan Qingchang's worry was not without reason. Emperor Chengde really had such thoughts for a moment, but when the words came to his lips, he still walked back.

It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that he has higher expectations for Zimo.

Zhou Mu's real identity will be revealed by February next year at the latest, and he doesn't want to make too many enemies before Zimo reveals his real identity.

Behind the queen mother is the Wang family. The Wang family has been powerful in recent years. He doesn't want the Wang family to be an obstacle to Zimo's progress.

He has higher demands on Zimo.If possible, he would like Zi Mo to be the prince and inherit the throne.

Therefore, it is not good for Zimo to establish too many enemies now.

Princess Yongjia also breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up after thanking her.

The Queen Mother did not expect that she would go out of the palace. She wanted to trouble Gu Xiyan, but in the end Gu Xiyan and Zhou Mu turned against her.

Looking at Emperor Cheng De's kindness and kindness to Zhou Mu, she knew that Emperor Cheng De valued Zhou Mu very much.

When the Queen Mother saw Emperor Chengde get up, she thought he was going back to the palace, so she asked, "Should the Ai family go back to the palace with the emperor?"

"My son is going to sit at Zimo's house for a while, so he can't accompany his mother." Emperor Chengde didn't hide his whereabouts.

The Queen Mother was secretly startled, but it didn't show on her face.

She knew that Emperor Chengde valued Zhou Mu before, but she didn't expect that Emperor Chengde loved Zhou Mu more than she thought.

After Zhou Mu followed Emperor Chengde to leave Xuanchanghou's Mansion, Princess Duanqing said to the Queen Mother: "The queen mother has also seen it, and the emperor values ​​Zhou Mu very much."

She had never seen the emperor's elder brother relying so heavily on a single person, and even Wan Qinghou, a close minister, had not been favored by Emperor Chengde so much.

"Who is Zhou Mu? We have to find out the details of Zhou Mu." The Queen Mother was in a heavy heart.

She knew that Emperor Chengde was still showing mercy today, but Zhou Mu was a very threatening person, but they didn't even know where Zhou Mu came from.

 I took medicine yesterday and slept for more than ten hours. Today the fever subsided and I feel much better.I think that if you are sick, you should sleep well, and if you sleep well, you will recover quickly from illness.
