famous eldest daughter

Chapter 24
The queen nodded in agreement, and the emperor turned his attention to Gu Yuqing.

It is difficult for an upright official to end family affairs. It is not that it is difficult to do so, but that he cannot bear to do so.

In fact, the truth about today's matter has been clearly laid out for a long time. The emperor kept interrogating and interrogating, but in the final analysis, it was not because of selfish motives.

Gu Yuqing got up gracefully, saluted Yingying, and then said: "My daughter sent the eldest princess to Huanhuan Palace, and when I came back, I met His Highness the Second Prince in the imperial garden."

The emperor did not reprimand Gu Yuqing for saying such a tentative sentence just now. After Gu Yuqing finished speaking, Concubine Shu immediately boldly said: "Your Majesty, Duo'er didn't even leave the imperial garden. The medicinal minister of this ecstasy pill. I have heard a little bit about it, and anyone who takes it will get sick immediately."

The implication is that Dong Ce's attack happened in Qihuang Pavilion, and naturally it has nothing to do with Xiao Duo.

"Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by the villain. Maybe it's really a thief calling to catch a thief, just to frame our mother and son." After saying this, Concubine Shu looked like she had been greatly wronged and started sobbing again.

She cried so much that her whole body trembled.

Gu Yuqing glanced at Concubine Shu, and after she cried a few times, she lightly parted her red lips, and explained: "Your Majesty, I misunderstood, I saw the Second Prince walking in from outside the Imperial Garden in the Imperial Garden."

Snapped!
clap clap!

Gu Yuqing's slow words were like a slap on Concubine Shu's face. Concubine Shu's voice of crying and wiping her tears suddenly stopped in embarrassment.

I cursed secretly in my heart, you little bitch, why didn’t you say it all at once?
Ignoring Concubine Shu's face turning pale for a moment, Gu Yuqing said: "Because I have been feeling unwell in recent days, after seeing Her Royal Highness the eldest princess back, I took pills in the imperial garden. The smell of the medicine was strong, and I was afraid of bumping into the brocade shed. The ladies inside, so I thought of relaxing a little before going back, and I happened to meet His Highness the Second Prince coming back from outside."

What she said was reasonable and well-founded, leaving no room for doubt.

Concubine Shu made an embarrassing scene, and the emperor felt a little embarrassed on his face.

But Gu Yuqing just breathed a sigh of relief. It was Concubine Shu who cut off half of her words because she was smart enough to start the fuss. She couldn't blame Gu Yuqing, but she could only blame Concubine Shu for being stupid.

After glaring at Concubine Shu angrily, the emperor turned his attention to the disheveled maid next to Dong Ce.

The emperor recognized that this person was Qinghong in front of Xiao Jingyu, and asked: "Qinghong, what's going on?"

After receiving the emperor's words, Qinghong immediately knelt on the ground and saluted, raised her head and reported: "Miss Gu family sent the eldest princess back to the Hehuan Hall. When she arrived at the entrance of the palace, the eldest princess woke up, but she was too weak to entertain Miss Gu family to the Hehuan Hall. "Sit down, Miss Gu couldn't come into the palace to drink a glass of water. The eldest princess felt very uneasy, so she asked her servant to give Miss Gu a necklace of southern pearls as a thank you."

As she said that, Qinghong glanced at Dong Ce quickly, her eyes crossed Gu Yuqing's side of Dong Ce, and said directly: "This slave took the Nanzhu necklace to chase Miss Gu, but she met her at Qihuang Pavilion. Prince Dong, as soon as Prince Dong saw this servant, he rushed towards me with red eyebrows and red eyes."

Mentioning the situation at that time, Qinghong's face turned white, his mouth trembled, and he was still too scared to control himself.

"Fortunately, the queen's maids passed by and saved the slave."

"When you met Dong Ce, was he the only one in Qihuang Pavilion?" the emperor asked.

Qinghong replied: "There is only one person in Qihuang Pavilion, but when the slave was struggling, he tore this thing off Prince Dong's body. Now that I think about it, this thing probably belongs to the person who drugged Prince Dong."

As Qinghong said, she took out a piece of moon-white brocade that had been hidden in her sleeve, and cupped it in her hands.

Immediately, someone from the palace took the brocade away from her hands and brought it to the emperor.

The brocade had torn edges and was woven with gold and silver threads. It was obviously torn from someone's body.

"Hey, isn't this the material of the clothes worn by the second emperor brother?" Xiao Yu stood beside the emperor and recognized the owner of the material with just one glance. "It's strange, who is so bold to rip off the clothes of the second emperor?" The emperor's clothes were also found by Qinghong from Dong Ce who had gone crazy in Qihuang Pavilion."

After hearing Xiao Yu's words, Concubine Shu ignored the embarrassment and fear just now, and raised her eyes to look at the material in the emperor's hand.

Sure enough... the moon-white brocade was densely woven with gold and silver threads. This was her birthday gift to Xiao Duo.

Could it really be... The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but blurt out, "Is it possible that Duo'er is the only one in the world who has such clothes? Duo'er must be convicted of such a heinous crime just by using a piece of clothing. I'm afraid she is trying to inflict such a heinous crime on her." No need to worry!"

Xiao Yu sneered and said, "It's not too late for Concubine Shu to take a look at the clothes of the second emperor brother before saying this."

Following Xiao Yu's voice, everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Duo.

Xiao Duo knelt on his knees, and his moon-white brocade robes were scattered casually on the ground. No one noticed it just now. Xiao Duo himself was too preoccupied to check carefully. Only then did he realize that the lower part of his robe was missing. piece.

The raw edges of the gold and silver threads were exposed, making it even more shocking.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but chattering her teeth. She couldn't take a breath and fainted from fright.

The corners of Xiao Duo's eyes twitched wildly. He had obviously never had any trouble with Dong Ce. How come his clothes were torn in such a place!

In the flash of lightning, Xiao Duo's mind turned over and over again, and he suddenly remembered the cluster of woody flowers next to Qihuang Pavilion, with its sharp thorns.

He hid in the flowers in desperation. His clothes should have been torn off at that time, but... Dong Ce had already suffered from poisoning at that time. How could he go to the flowers to pick up the pieces of his clothes left in the flowers? Woolen cloth.

Vaguely, Xiao Duo felt something was wrong with the whole thing.

It was as if he was being controlled by someone, but he was like a child standing in a thick fog. If the fog didn't dissipate, he would never be able to figure it out.

Now that the matter has come to this, it is no longer possible for the emperor to think about him and protect Xiao Duo.

But in front of the Gu family sisters, how could he let the royal scandal be exposed like this.

Although he was already furious in his heart, the emperor still tried his best to control his emotions and asked Qinghong, "Are you sure you caught Dong Ce?"

Facing the emperor's majestic question, Qinghong swallowed the saliva in her throat, nodded solemnly, and said firmly: "It was on Prince Dong. I remember clearly that I pulled it off from the jade belt around Prince Dong's waist. "

Mentioning the pull with Dong Ce, Qinghong's face turned red.

Being able to tell the exact location where she caught the clothing material showed that it was true and she wasn't lying.

Next, the air in Yangxin Hall seemed to be stagnant.

Except for Concubine Shu who fainted and Xiao Duo who was frightened and frightened, everyone was waiting for the emperor's decision.

The emperor is so worried.

The more worried he became, the more he looked displeased with Xiao Duo. He was so full that he ran to give Dong Ce medicine.

It would be fine if they were ordinary people, but since the beginning of the Dong family, every dynasty has produced a general who is good at conquering and fighting.

Half of this country was conquered by the Dong family. How could he handle this matter so rashly? It chilled the hearts of the Dong family.

But severe punishment, and in front of the sisters of the Gu family, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling the world that his son's behavior is dirty and vicious?

The emperor was in a dilemma. He glanced at Concubine Shu who had fainted, and really wanted to just throw herself over.
