Chapter 682 Questioning
Concubine Pei stared closely at her son, this was the first time she had seen her son since entering the palace, no matter what reason she wanted to see him before, she was stopped outside the door.

But at this time, he actually appeared in front of her for such an irrelevant brat.

Concubine Pei said coldly: "Why? If he doesn't kneel to me, is it impossible for me to kneel to him?"

Qingxi's indifferent eyes swept over Concubine Pei's face, and said lightly: "This king gave him permission not to kneel, so he doesn't need to kneel. Whoever you want to kneel to is your freedom, and I won't interfere."

"You—" Dowager Pei was furious, her face covered with frost.

Princess Rong gently touched Concubine Pei's arm, signaling her not to forget the business.

Concubine Pei swallowed her anger, and said in a deep voice: "This son is so bold that he dared to rape the third girl of Zhenning Palace in Zhengde Palace. The evidence of the crime is solid. I wonder how His Highness will deal with this son?"

"Disposition?" Qingxi raised her eyebrows, and smiled silently, "It is to be punished. If you dare to do such a wicked thing in Zhengde Palace, this king will naturally not tolerate it." He said to the eunuch beside him: "I will send you to Zhengde Palace today. Everyone on duty is here, and this king wants to ask questions."

The eunuch took the order, and after a while, the palace people who had been deliberately transferred back came back one after another.

Princess Rong frowned, and looked at Concubine Pei anxiously.

She didn't expect that brother Heng would really investigate this matter in public.She thought that brother Heng would be able to see through the truth at a glance, but he would expose it lightly in order to save Concubine Pei's face.

After all, the face of the mother is also the face of the son.

In this way, what happened to Mu Qingwen in the palace would become a thorn in the hearts of the Mu siblings.With this thorn, it is not easy to tear out the breach.

However, things didn't go the way she wanted.

Qingxi looked coldly at the palace people kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice: "When this king came just now, neither of you disappeared. Where did you go? Do you still remember your responsibilities?"

A eunuch kowtowed and said: "His Royal Highness, this servant was going to the imperial dining room to fetch refreshments for Mr. Mu, but just as he was leaving, he ran into Eunuch Gui. He asked this servant to fetch refreshments for the concubine first, and this servant dare not refuse."

Qingxi turned to look at the others.

A court lady said: "His Royal Highness, the maid was cleaning the yard, Madam Qi suddenly came over to call the servant, and asked the servant to take five people to the imperial garden to help move the flowers. The servant dare not refuse."

Qingxi asked: "Who is this Nanny Qi? Even the palace servants in Zhengde Palace can order them around?"

The maid raised her eyes and glanced behind Dowager Pei, pursed her lips, and remained silent.

"It seems to belong to the concubine." Qingxi said lightly.

Concubine Pei snorted: "What's the matter? When people from this palace go to Zhengde Palace to find a few palace people to help with things, you need to get your consent?"

Qingxi said: "It's just a coincidence that the people in the Zhengde Palace just got called away by your people, and the third girl from the Zhenning Prince's Mansion entered the Zhengde Palace. What's more coincidental, she also climbed onto the bed of Mr. Mu , why? She is so blind that she can't recognize the way, and even recognize the bed?"

Miss Kong San's face was dripping with blood, with tears in her eyes, she looked at her sister pitifully, hoping that her sister could help her out.

If it wasn't for her elder sister's promise, she would promise her to Mr. Mu and help her keep secret about her meeting with a foreigner and being pregnant, she would never be so bold as to do this in Zhengde Palace.

Princess Rong didn't seem to see the help-seeking eyes of the third younger sister, but fixed her eyes on Brother Heng, "Your Highness said this, is it because he is determined to exonerate Mr. Mu?"
