invincible ugly queen

Chapter 57
"What? Father was arrested?" With a cry of surprise, a high-quality celadon teacup splashed to the ground, and immediately fell apart and shattered into many pieces.

"Your Majesty, are you burnt?" Bao'er rushed over and took Nangong Wanqing's hand, and slowly relaxed after making sure that she wasn't burned by the hot tea.

But Nangong Wanqing hurriedly rushed to Qingdai's side regardless of whether her hand was injured, her tone was mixed with concern and endless anxiety: "How could the father be arrested for no reason? How could he embezzle and accept bribes and deduct military pay? What the hell is going on? You tell me—”

She had already guessed that she would have this reaction when she heard it, Qingdai pulled Nangong Wanqing to the imperial concubine's couch beside her, let her sit down first, and then said slowly: "It is said that someone offered to expose the regent's corruption and embezzlement of military pay. The incident, and a ledger was attached as evidence, the emperor was so angry that he imprisoned the regent in the Punishment Department. He also searched the residence of the regent and searched a large number of tribute items. Now the residence of the regent has been sealed up, and everyone in the palace Got caught."

"What? The whole palace has been arrested?" Nangong Wanqing's petite body trembled uncontrollably when she heard this: "Your majesty... what did your majesty say... does your majesty believe it? How could he? How about ruthlessly arresting everyone in the palace?"

"Even if there is evidence, this matter is still under investigation. If the guilt cannot be confirmed, the whole family will be cruelly arrested..."

"Maybe the emperor has his own ideas? After all, as the king of a country, there are many helpless things." Qing Dai sighed helplessly.

"No, I'm going to ask the emperor—" After finishing speaking, Nangong Wanqing ran outside.But before he could leave the hall, he was gambled back by someone.

"Yo, where are you going, empress?" The harsh words sounded, making Nangong Wanqing get goosebumps all over her body. The person who came was Shen Ruxue, her biggest enemy in the palace, and Chu Qingcheng was behind her , Chu Qingcheng was already dressed like a noble concubine, her black and beautiful hair was tied high into a flying bun, her whole body was full of jewels, and she couldn't conceal her nobility.

Nangong Wanqing withdrew her mind, and said in a deep voice: "Is the Concubine De concubine okay? I have something to go out, maybe I don't have time, let's talk about it when I come back."

After finishing speaking, she was about to walk around her, but Shen Ruxue stood in front of her gracefully, snorting coldly, "Hurry to save your father? Am I right? It's a pity.... It's a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Nangong Wanqing was extremely anxious at this time. She really wanted to pretend that she was transparent. If her eyes could kill, she would have turned her eyes into sharp swords and killed her directly: "You'd better get out of the way, otherwise Don't blame me for being rude."

Shen Ruxue smiled gracefully, approached Nangong Wanqing and whispered softly in her ear: "The regent has been in power for so many years, it can be said that one person is under one man and above ten thousand people, and no one can touch him, but at this juncture An accident happened, and the scholar Nangong Bo just happened to be away. There have been no accidents all year round, since the accident must not be a big deal. My pity is what I mean..."

"What?" Nangong Wanqing was shocked, her small face turned extremely pale, and a booming voice rolled through her mind: "No, no——"

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Shen Ruxue winked at Chu Qingcheng who was behind her, and the two left Fengyi Hall one after another. is the same as the ultimate winner.Although Chu Qingcheng didn't say a word during this period, she kept looking at Nangong Wanqing thoughtfully, her eyes full of complicated expressions, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
